February 22, 1993 20. ESTIMATED QUANTITIES The CONTRACTOR shall understand that the quantities and measurements set forth in the Special Conditions are in no case exact and in some instances the exact quantities and measurements are impossible to determine until after conditions have become known during construction; that the quantities shown in the Special Conditions are for use as a basis for comparing bids only. The OWNER does not expressly, or by implication, agree that the actual amount of work performed or material furnished or installed will correspond therewith and further, that during the progress of the work the OWNER may find it advisable and shall have the right to make changes in locations of portions of the work, to omit portions of the work and to increase or decrease the quantities, as may be deemed necessary or desirable. Under no circumstances or conditions will the CONTRACTOR be paid anything on account of anticipated profits upon the work or any portion thereof covered by the Contract which is not actually performed; nor will the CONTRACTOR be paid more than the unit price bid for any item of the Bid because the actual quantity is greater or less than the quantity shown in the Invitation and Bid Sheet. Measurements of any openings have been made in sufficient detail to establish general shapes and dimensions. The locations and dimensions of vertical and horizontal openings and depths of materials shown on the documents as waste material, soil and unconsolidated material and rock material are approximate measurements only and shall be verified by excavation. The OWNER, without invalidating the purchase order contract, may order extra work, or make any other reasonably related changes by altering adding to or deducting from the work; the contract price and time for completion of the work will be adjusted accordingly by mutual agreement. C.R.S. 24-105-301 through 24-106-101, as amended are incorporated and made a part herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. If the OWNER deems inexpedient the correction of damaged work or of work not performed in accordance with the contract, equitable reduction of contract price shall be made. 21. ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND SAFETY MEASURES The CONTRACTOR shall comply with applicable provisions of OSHA Part 1926, Construction Standards and Interpretations, in effect on the date of issuance of the Invitation for Bids. The CONTRACTOR shall continuously maintain, at his expense, adequate protection of the work and the OWNER'S property, and shall take all practicable precautions in the interest of safety. Any shafts which were fenced prior to construction activities shall be protected by a temporary fence during non-working hours. Other openings may be designated by the PROJECT MANAGER as requiring fencing due to proximity of houses or visitation by tourists. 27
