Differing Site Conditions: Contractor shall, promptly after actual discovery, and before such conditions are disturbed (to the extent reasonably practicable), notify Owner in writing of (i) any subsurface or latent physical conditions at the Site, differing materially from those indicated in, or reasonably inferable from, the Supplied Project Documents that could not have been observed through a reasonable inspection of the Site, prior to commencing Work, or (ii) unknown physical conditions at the Site of an unusual nature differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Agreement. After receipt of such notice, Owner shall promptly investigate the conditions. In the event that such conditions do materially differ and actually result in a material increase or decrease in Contractor's cost of, or the time required for performance of, the Work, Contractor may be entitled to additional or a reduction in compensation under Agreement as applicable. No adjustment in compensation shall be allowed under this Paragraph unless

Contractor has promptly given the notice required in this Paragraph.

Site Housekeeping: Contractor shall keep the Site free from trash, contamination, refuse, rubbish, scrap materials, and debris caused, or created by, Contractor or its Subcontractors and shall keep the Site in a reasonably presentable condition given the nature of the Work and in a neat, orderly, and workmanlike apace. Owner may from time to time instruct Contractor to place the Site in such condition. If Contractor fails to do so within a reasonable period of time, Owner may do so and charge Contractor for the actual cost thereof. Contractor shall dispose of trash, refuse, rubbish, scrap material, and debris in an authorized landfill. Contractor shall not burn, or bury, any such items. Contractor shall cause all Contractor generated Hazardous

Substances that are transported by Contractor to the Site to be disposed of by licensed transporters in accordance with the requirements of all applicable laws.

Maintenance of Roadways: Contractor shall protect all maintained roads, driveways, and bridges which may be damaged in connection with the work, and shall repair, or replace, them if damaged, at its own expense, to the satisfaction of the governmental authorities or Owner. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to identify the potential for damage and take proper preventative measures to prevent damage to maintained or unmaintained roads, drives, or bridges. Cost of preventative measures shall be submitted to Owner, prior to commencement of work and will be on a reimbursable basis. Contractor shall not block any main thoroughfares in School property without prior approval from Owner. No lug type rigs, bulldozers, or other tract type equipment may be used without prior approval from the Owner. If these rigs are used, appropriate protection must be used to prevent damage to roadways.

Agreement; and shall do all work necessary to restore the territory embraced within the site of its operations to at least as good order and conditions at the beginning of the work under this contract.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any work concerning Hazardous Substances shall be performed only in accordance with the contract and all applicable laws.

Training and Operations Manuals: Contractor shall provide, either itself or through its subcontractors or vendors, specific operations and maintenance training to Owner's personnel for the Equipment and systems that Contractor provides. As to such Equipment and systems, Contractor shall provide to Owner final operations manuals, record drawings, specifications, priced spare parts lists and design sheets.
