Neither party will be placed on detention while the other is performing commodity work.

4.1.3 Whenever detention occurs prior to or during extra labor operations, the Government shall pay the

Contractor on a detention rate basis for the time of each detention. In the event part of a gang is required to perform an extra labor operation, the balance of the gang standing by shall be paid for at detention rates.
