shall be made available to the ,ARCHITECT. The ARCHITECT or OWNER may
also specify in writing, before the work coumences, the method of doing
the work and the type and kind of machinery and equipment to be used;

practicable the terms and prices for the use of machinery and equipment
shall be incorporated in the written Extra work Order. The fifteen
(15) per cent of the "actual field cost" to be paid the CONTRACTOR

superintendence and field office expense, and all other elements of
cost and expense not embraced within the "actual field cost" as herein

maintain and operate the same shall be included in the "actual field_
cost ". ti

writing by the ARCHITECT. In case any orders ox instructions, either
oral or written, appear to the CONTRACTOR to involve Extra Work for
which he should receive compensation or an adjustment in the
construction time, he shall make written request to the ARCHITECT for
written order authorizing such Extra Work. Should a difference of
opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute Extra Work, or as
to the payment therefor, and the ARCHITECT insists upon its
performance, the CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the work after making
written request for written order and shall keep an accurate account of
the "actual field cost" thereof, as provided under Method (C).

and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the CONTRACTOR.
After receiving said notice of abandonment the CONTRACTOR Shall not
remove from the work any machinery, equipment, nt, tools,
supplies then on the job, but the same, together with any materials and
equipment under contract for the work, may be held for use on the work
by the OWNER or the Surety on the performance bond, o- another
contractor in completion of the work; and the CONTRACTOR shall not
receive any rental or credit therefor (except when used in connection
with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed as provided for under
Section 6, Extra Work and Claims), it being understood that the use of
such equipment and materials will ultimately reduce the cost to
complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement.
Where there is no performance bond provided or in case the Surety
should fail to commence compliance with the notice for completion thin of such
herein above provided for, rt ide for completion oLf theswork in either
notice, then the OWNER may p
of the following elective manners.
7.01.1 The OWNER may thereupon employ such force of men and use such
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, and supplies as said OWNER may
deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such
labor, machinery, equipment, tools, materials, and supplies to said
CONTRACTOR, and expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the T
O;jNuR out of such moneys as may be due, or that may thereafter at any
time become due to the CONTRACTOR under and by virtue of this

excess to the OWNER; or
7.01.2 The O7rN ER under sealed bids, after five (5) days notice
published one or more times in a newspape`- having general ci__ *culation
in the county of the location of the work, may let the contract for the
completion of the work under substantially the same terns and
conditions which are provided in this contract. In case any increase
in cost to the OWNER under the new contract as compared to what would
have been the cost under this contract, such increase shall be charged
to the CONTRACTOR and the Surety shall be and remain bound therefor.
However, should the cost to complete any such new contract prove to be
less than what would have been the cost to complete under this
contract, the CONTRACTOR and /or his Surety shall be credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed the CONTRACTOR
and his Surety shall be so notified and Certificates fCo pl hall and
Acceptance, as provided in Paragraph be
issued. A complete itemized statement of the contract accounts,

® days after the date of such Certificate of Completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to
complete the work is less than that which would have been the cost to
the OWNER had the work been completed by the CONTRACTOR under the terms
of this contract; or when the CONTRACTOR and /or his Surety shall pay
the balance shown to be due by them to the OWNER, then all machinery,
equipment, tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work
shall be turned over to the CONTRACTOR and /or his Surety. Should the
cost to complete the work exceed the contract price, and the CONTRACTOR
and /or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the OY7NZR within the time
designated herein above, and there remains any machinery, equipment,
tools, materials or supplies on the site of the work, notice thQraof,
together with an itemized list of such equipment and materials, shall
be mailed to the CONTRACTOR and his Surety at the respective addresses
designated in this contract, provided, however, that actual written
notice, such property shall be held at the risk of the CONTRACTOR and
his Surety subject only to the duty of the OWNER to exercise ordinary
care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date
of said notice the OWNER may sell such machinery, equipment, tools,
materials or supplies and apply the net sum derived from such sale to
the credit of the CONTRACTOR and his Surety. Such sale may be made at
either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the OWNER may
elect. The OWNER shall release any machinery, equipment, tools,
materials or supplies, which remain on the work, and belong to persons
other than the CONTRACTOR or his Surety, to their proper owners. The
books on all operations provided herein shall be open to the CONTRACTOR--
and his Surety.
7.02 ABANDONMENT by OWNER. In case the OV114ER shall fail to comply
with the terms of this contract, and should fail or refuse to comply
with said terms within ten (10) days after written notification by the
CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR may suspend or wholly abandon the work,
and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools and equipment, and all
materials on the site of work that have not been included in payments
to the CONTRACTOR and have not been wrought into the work. And
thereupon the ARCHITECT shall make an estimate of the total amount
earned by the CONTRACTOR, which estimate shall include the value of all
work actually completed by said CONTRACTOR (at the prices stated in the
attached proposal where unit prices are used) , the value of all
partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount
of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for
by the term5 of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost
of any provisions made by the CONTRACTOR to carry the whole work to
completion and which cannot be utilized. The ARCHITECT shall then make
a final statement of the balance due the CONTRACTOR by deducting from
the above estimate all previous payments by the OYTNER and all other
sums that may be retained by the O;DER under the terms of this
Agreement and shall certify same to the OWNER who shall pay to the
CONTRACTOR on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the
notification by the CONTRACTOR the balance shown by said final
statement as due the CONTRACTOR, under the terms of this Agreement.
