B. Not Shown or Indicated
1. If an Underground Facility is uncovered or revealed at or contiguous to the Site which was not shown or
indicated, or not shown or indicated with reasonable accuracy in the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR shall,
promptly after becoming aware thereof and before further disturbing conditions affected thereby or performing any
Work in connection therewith (except in an emergency as required by paragraph 6.16.A). identify the OWNER of
such Underground Facility and give written notice to that OWNER and to OWNER and ENGINEER. ENGINEER
will promptly review the Underground Facility and determine the extent, if any, to which a change is required in
the Contract Documents to reflect and document the consequences of the existence or location of the Underground
Facility. During such time, CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the safety and protection of such
Underground Facility.
2. If ENGINEER concludes that a change in the Contract Documents is required, a Change Order will be issued to
reflect and document such consequences. An equitable adjustment shall be made in the Contract Price or Contract
Times, or both, to the extent that they are attributable to the existence or location of any Underground Facility that
was not shown or indicated or not shown or indicated with reasonable accuracy in the Contract Documents and that
CONTRACTOR did not know of and could not reasonably have been expected to be aware of or to have
anticipated. If OWNER and CONTRACTOR are unable to agree on entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if
any, of any such adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times, OWNER or CONTRACTOR may make a Claim
therefore as provided in paragraph 10.05.
