materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Agreement, the Contractor shall immediately, and in no event more than three (3) days later, give notice to the CM of such conditions before they are disturbed. The CM shall thereupon promptly notify the Designer and Owner and investigate the conditions. The CM shall as soon as practicable request that the Designer make such changes in the Drawings and/or Specifications as the CM and the Contractor believe are necessary to continue the Work. Any increase or decrease in the Contract Price resulting from such changes shall be adjusted in the manner provided herein for adjustments as to extra and/or additional Work and changes. The CM shall not be liable or responsible for additional work, costs, or changes to the Work that could have been reasonably determined from any reports, surveys, and analyses made available for the Contractor's review or that could have been discovered by the Contractor through the performance of its obligations pursuant to the Contract Documents. ARTICLE 17. CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT 17.1 The Owner and the CM have the authority to stop or suspend Work and to order Work removed or to order corrections of defective Work or Work not in compliance with the Contract Documents where such action may be necessary to ensure successful completion of the Work. Any work, materials, fabricated items, or other parts of the Work which have been found by the CM, the Owner or the Designer to be defective or not in accordance with the Contract Documents shall be condemned and shall be removed from the Project by the Contractor, and immediately replaced by new Work in accordance with the Contract Documents at no additional cost to the CM. Work or property of the Owner or others damaged or destroyed by virtue of such condemned Work shall be made good at the expense of the Contractor. Correction of condemned Work described above shall be commenced by the Contractor within twenty-four (24) hours after notice from the CM and shall be pursued to completion. Should the Contractor fail to proceed reasonably with the above-mentioned corrections, the CM may, three (3) days after the notice specified in the preceding sentence, proceed with correction, paying the cost, including costs of uncovering such condemned Work, of such corrections from amounts due or to become due to the Contractor. Condemned Work removed shall be the property of the Contractor and shall be removed from the Project by the Contractor within ten (10) days after notice to remove it, and if not then removed, thereafter may be disposed of by the CM without compensation to the Contractor and the cost of such disposal shall be deducted from amounts due or to become due to the Contractor. Should the cost of correction of the Work and, if applicable, disposal of the condemned Work by the CM exceed the amount due or to become due the Contractor, the Contractor and the Contractor's sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the CM the amount of such excess. ARTICLE 18. CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION; WARRANTIES AND GUARANTIES 18.1 No certificate of completion by any party, Final Payment, occupation of the premises by the Owner, any provision of the Contract Documents, or any other act or instrument of the CM, the Owner or the Designer shall relieve the Contractor from responsibility for negligence, defective material or workmanship, or failure to comply fully with the Contract Documents.
