In the event of emergency affecting the safety of life, the protection of Work, or the safety of <br />adjoining properties, the CMAR is hereby authorized to act at its own discretion, without further <br />authorization from anyone, to prevent such threatened injury or damage.

If reasonable precautions are inadequate to prevent foreseeable bodily injury or death to persons <br />resulting from a material or substance encountered but not created on the site by the CMAR or its <br />Subcontractors, the CMAR shall, upon recognizing the condition, immediately stop Work in the <br />affected area and report the condition to the Owner and Project Designer in writing. The Owner <br />shall take responsibility for remediation of the material or substance from the site.

If, <br />without negligence on the part of the CMAR, the CMAR is held liable by a government agency for <br />the cost of remediation of a hazardous material or substance solely by reason of performing Work <br />as required by the Contract Documents, the Owner shall reimburse the CMAR for all cost and <br />expense thereby incurred. CMAR shall not be deemed the “generator” of any such Hazardous <br />Material pre-existing at the Project Site <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 5A9E3BC2-EAE1-4C35-82D9-B4D6A375FA78
