The <br />Architect will promptly investigate such conditions and, if the Architect determines that they differ materially and cause an <br />increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, will recommend <br />that an equitable adjustment be made in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Architect determines that the <br />conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in the <br />terms of the Contract is justified, the Architect shall promptly notify the Owner and Contractor, stating the reasons.

Upon receipt of such notice, the Owner shall <br />promptly take any action necessary to obtain governmental authorization required to resume the operations. The Contractor <br />shall continue to suspend such operations until otherwise instructed by the Owner but shall continue with all other operations <br />that do not affect those remains or features. Requests for adjustments in the Contract Sum and Contract Time arising from the <br />existence of such remains or features may be made as provided in Article 15. <br />§ 3.8 Allowances <br />§ 3.8.1 The Contractor shall include in the Contract Sum all allowances stated in the Contract Documents. Items covered by <br />allowances shall be supplied for such amounts and by such persons or entities as the Owner may direct, but the Contractor <br />shall not be required to employ persons or entities to whom the Contractor has reasonable objection. <br />§ 3.8.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, <br />AIA Document A201" - 2017.
