1, DEFINITIONS
Terms used or referred to herein are defined as follows:
(a) Contracting Local Organization: The organization
or agency awarding the contract.
(b) Contracting Officer: The individual or his duly ap-
pointed successor who is designated and authorized to enter
into and administer contracts on behalf of the Contracting
Local Organization.
(c) Engineer. The individual or his representative charged
with the responsibility of determining that the construction
work conforms to the technical requirements as set forth in
the Drawings and Specifications.
2. SPECIFICATIONS AND DRAWINGS.
The Contractor shall keep on the work a copy of the draw-
ings and specifications and shall at all times give the Con-
tracting Officer access thereto. Anything mentioned in the
specifications and not shown on the drawings, or shown on the
drawings and not mentioned in the specifications, shall be of
like effect as if shown or mentioned in both. In case of dif-
ference between drawings and specifications, the specifications
shall govern. In any case of discrepancy either in the figures,
in the drawings, or in the specifications, the matter shall be
promptly submitted to the Contracting Officer, who shall
promptly make a determination in writing. Any adjustment by
the Contractor without such a determination shall be at his
own risk and expense, The Contracting Officer shall furnish
from time to time such detail drawings and other information
as he may consider necessary, unless otherwise provided.
3. CHANGES
The Contracting Officer may, at any time, by written
order, and without notice to the sureties, make changes in
the drawings and or specifications of this contract if within
its general scope. If such changes cause an increase or de-
crease in the Contractor's cost of, or time required for,
performance of the contract, an equitable adjustment shall
be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly.
Any claim of the Contractor for adjustment under this clause
must be asserted in writing within 30 days from the date of
receipt by the Contractor of the notification of change unless
the Contracting Officer grants a further period of time before
the date of final payment under the contract. If the parties
fail to agree upon the adjustment to be made, the dispute shall
be determined as provided in Clause 6 of these General Pro-
visions; but nothing provided in this clause shall excuse the
Contractor from proceeding with the prosecution of the work
as changed. Except as otherwise provided in this contract, no
charge for any extra work or material will be allowed.
4, CHANGED CONDITIONS
The Contractor shall promptly, and before suchconditions
are disturbed, notify the Contracting Officer in writing of:
(a) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differ-
ing materially from those indicated in this contract, or (b)
unknown physical conditions at the site, of an unusual nature,
differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and
generally recognized as inhering in work of the character
provided for in this contract. The Contracting Officer shall
promptly investigate the conditions, and if he finds that such
conditions do so materially differ and cause an increase or
decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or the time required for,
performance of this contract, an equitable adjustment shall be
made and the contract modified in writing accordingly. Any
claim of the Contractor for adjustment hereunder shall not
be allowed unless he has given notice as above required; or
unless the Contracting Officer grants a further period of time
before the date of final payment under the contract. If the
parties fail to agree upon the adjustment to be made, the dis-
pute shall be determined as provided in Clause 6 of these
General Provisions,

work, or any separable part thereof, with such diligence as
will insure its completion within the time specified in this
contract, or any extension thereof, or fails to complete said
work within such time, the Contracting Local Organization
may, by written notice to the Contractor, terminate his right
to proceed with the work or such part of the work as to which
there has been delay, In such event the Contracting Local
Organization may take over the work and prosecute the same
to completion, by contract or otherwise, and may take posses-
sion of and utilize in completing the work such materials,
appliances, and plant as may be on the site of the work and
necessary therefor. Whether or not the Contractor's right to
proceed with the work is terminated, he and his sureties shall
be liable for any damage to the Contracting Local Organization
resulting from his refusal or failure to complete the work
within the specified time.
(b) If fixed and agreed liquidated damages are provided
in the contract and if the Contracting Local Organization so
terminates the Contractor's right to proceed, the resulting
damage will consist of such liquidated damages until such
reasonable time as may be required for final completion of
the work together with any increased costs occasioned the
Contracting Local Organization in completing the work.
(c) If fixed and agreed liquidated damages are provided
in the contract and if the Contracting Local Organization does
not so terminate the Contractor's right to proceed, the re-
sulting damage will consist of such liquidated damages until
the work is completed or accepted.
(d) The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be so
terminated nor the Contractor charged with resulting dam-
age if:
(1) The delay in the completion of the work arises
from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and
without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, in-
cluding but not restricted to, acts of God, acts of the
public enemy, acts of the Contracting Local Organi-
zation in its contractual capacity, acts of another
contractor in the performance of a contract with the
Contracting Local Organization, fires, floods, epi-
demics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight em-
bargoes, unusually severe weather, or delays of sub-
contractors or suppliers arising from unforeseeable
1
causes beyond the control ..., without the fault or
negligence of both the Contractor and such subcon-
tractors or suppliers; and
(2) The Contractor, within 10 days from the beginning
of any such delay (unless theContracting Officer grants
a further period of time before the date of final pay-
ment under the contract), notifies the Contracting
Officer in writing of the causes of delay.
The Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and the extent
of the delay and extend the time for completing the work when,
in his judgment, the findings of fact justify such an extension,
and his findings of fact shall be final and conclusive on the
parties hereto.
(e) If, after notice of termination of the Contractor's right
to proceed under the provisions of paragraph (a) of this clause,
it is determined that the delay is excusable under the provi-
sions of paragraph (d) of this clause, such notice of termina-
tion shall be deemed to have beenissued pursuant to the clause
of this contract entitled "Termination for Convenience of the
Contracting Local Organization," and the rights and obligations
of the parties hereto shall in such event be governed by such
clause, (This paragraph (e) applies only if this contract con-
tains such termination clause.)
(f) The rights and remedies of the Contracting Local Or-
ganization provided in this clause are in addition to any other
rights and remedies provided by law or under this contract,

mates approved by the Contracting Officer, If requested by the
Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall furnish a breakdown
of the total contract price showing the amount included therein
for each principal category of the work, in such detail as
requested, to provide a basis for determining progress pay-
ments. In the preparation of estimates the Contracting Officer,
at his discretion, may authorize material delivered on the
site and preparatory work done to be taken into consideration.
Material delivered to the Contractor at locations other than
the site may also be taken into consideration (1) if such con-
sideration is specifically authorized by the contract and (2) if
the Contractor furnishes satisfactory evidence that he has
acquired title to such material and that it will be utilized on
the work covered by this contract,
(c) In making such progress payments, there shall be
retained 10 percent of the estimated amount until final com-
pletion and acceptance of the contract work, However, if the
Contracting Officer, at any time after 50 percent of the work
has been completed, finds that satisfactory progress is being
made, he may authorize any of the remaining progress pay-
ments to be made in full. Also, whenever the work is sub-
stantially complete, the Contracting Officer, if he considers
the amount retained to be in excess of the amount adequate
2
for the protection of the .racting Local Organization, at
his discretion, may release to the Contractor all or a portion
of such excess amount, Furthermore, on completion and ac-
ceptance of each separate building, public work, or other
division of the contract, on which thepriceis stated separately
in the contract, payment may be made therefor without reten-
tion of a percentage,
(d) All material and work covered by progress payments
made shall thereupon become the sole property of the Con-
tracting Local Organization, but this provision shall not be
construed as relieving the Contractor from the sole respon-
sibility for all material and work upon which payments have
been made or the restoration of any damaged work, or as
waiving the right of the Contracting Local Organization to
require the fulfillment of all of the terms of the contract,

Contracting Local Organization arising by virtue of this con-
tract, other than claims in stated amounts as may be specifi-
cally excepted by the Contractor from the operation of the
release. If the Contractor's claim to amounts payable under
the contract has been assigned, a release may also be required
of the assignee at the option of the Contracting Officer,

article, or process which, in the judgment of the Contracting
Officer, is equal to that named, The Contractor shall furnish
to the Contracting Officer for his approval the name of the
manufacturer, the model number, and other identifying data

such material, To the extent specified by the Contracting
Officer at the time of determining to make off -site inspection
or test, such inspection or test shall be conclusive as to
• Whether the material involved conforms to the contract re-
quirements. Such off -site inspection or test shall not relieve

graph (f) of this clause, except as hereinabove provided.

of the contract, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the
contract price to compensate the Contractor for the additional
services involved in such examination and reconstruction and,
if completion of the work has been delayed thereby, he shall,
in addition, be granted a suitable extension of time,

promptly as practicable after completion and inspection of
