2 4 6. Alterations. The style and extent of any work shall be altered by the Contractor at the request in writing of the Board of Work. Notice of any reduction in the payment to the Contractor caused by such alteration shall be sent to him at the same time. Any claims for additional payment shall at once be sent to the Board of Work by the Contractor in writing. Alterations in the payment shall be settled in each separate case by an agreement in writing be- fore the respective work is undertaken and shall be based on the existing facts. No extra work nor alterations in the work or the constructions shall be undertaken except by an order in writing. 4 7. The Employees of the Contractor. The work shall be superintended by the Contractor personally or by a competent person enga- ged and duly authorized by him. The latter shall in every repest represent the Contractor. Any foreman or workman that may prove unfit for his work or give cause of complaint by his conduct shall at once be discharged, if so ordered by the Board of Work. 5 8. Relation to other Contractors. The Contractor shall submit to any order of the Board of Work for the purpose of protecting any other Contractor engaged in the same work from annoyance. He shall cooperate with any other Contractor in the best possible way, and shall accordingly make timely arrangements with the Control in order to avoid all mistakes and delays that may be caused by such want of cooperation. 6 9. Reponsibility during the work. All the work shall be at the risk of the Contractor, who shall keep the ready-made part of it in good repair, and, if necessary, insured until the whole work is accepted. The Contractor shall bear all losses that may be caused by any accident, casualty or unfavourable conditions and circumstances of any kind and shall be fully responsible for the strength and durability of the scaffoldings and tools used by him; provided always that he shall have lull remedy against the Board of Work for any accident caused by any positive neglect of the said Board. The Contractor shall compensate for any damage in- flicted on any third party during the execution of the work. 4 10. Warranty. During a period of one year after the delivery of the work the Contractor shall without any compensation set right any defect that may have been caused by any act for which he is to blame. Correspondingly to the warranty the Contractor shall be bound to keep the work in repair during the same time as stated in the special conditions. 4 11. Death of Contractor &c. In case of the Contractor’s death, insolvency, insanity, or incapacity of managing his own allairs, the Board of Work may cancel the contract, if there is reason to doubt the proper continuation of the work; provided that the Contractor, his executors, administrators or assignees shall receive payment for the work already accomplished. 5 12. Terms, Fines, Liability. The Contractor shall set to work as soon as possible after he has received information of the acceptance of his tender. The work in general, as well as each separate part of the work, shall be proceeded with so as to give reasonable security for its being finished within the fixed term. If the work is not proceeded with sufficiently quickly or satisfactorily, the Board of Work may, after having warned the Contractor in writing, deprive him of the work or part of the work without any legal proceedings, and may engage others to complete the work at the expense of the Contractor, and without liability for the money expended. In case the Contractor is deprived of the work, the Board of Work may make use of any materials, tools and working-materiel belonging to him. The Contractor shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of the work and for any damage caused by the weather, or the like, or by any neglect of his workmen. The Contractor shall likewise be subject to a fine for exceeding the term of delivery, amounting for each week’s excess to 1 per mille of the sum stated in the contract. Prolongation of the term may be allowed: a. In case alterations increasing the work be made at the request of the Board of Work. b. In case of any considerable interruption of the work for which the Contractor is not to be blamed or which has taken place under circumstances over which he had no control, viz: war, fire, extraordinary natural events, and strikes or lock-outs. c. In case of delay in the delivery of the work undertaken by the Board of Work or by any other contractor engaged by the Board of Work.
