Sunday, or legal holiday, the CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for all inspection, ENGINEERing and testing costs
incurred during that period. For all inspection and testing work performed on Saturday, Sunday, or legal holidays, the

13.04 Uncovering Work
A. If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of ENGINEER, it must, if requested by ENGINEER, be
uncovered for ENGINEER's observation and replaced at CONTRACTOR’S expense.

by others, CONTRACTOR, at ENGINEER's request, shall uncover, expose, or otherwise make available for observation,
inspection, or testing as ENGINEER may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor,
material, and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective, CONTRACTOR shall pay all Claims, costs, losses, and

costs of repair or replacement of work of others); and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the

increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times (or Milestones), or both, directly attributable to

however, this right of OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of OWNER to exercise this
right for the benefit of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other individual or entity, or any surety for,
or employee or agent of any of them.

work of others).
