SMP/SHG - PCF&P Information Available to General Contractor 27720.00 00300-1

DOCUMENT 00300 INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO GENERAL CONTRACTOR 1.Geotechnical Investigations by: a.Results of a general historical investigation of the area are contained in a report by

Converse Consultants entitled "Geological Investigation Report for Proposed Caltech Broad Center" dated September 24, 1999 prepared for California Institute of Technology. The report is not part of the Contract Documents and is made available to the Contractor for his information only. The Owner assumes no responsibility whatsoever in respect to the sufficiency or the accuracy of the investigations made, the records thereof or the interpretations set forth therein. Such investigations have been made for the purposes of study and design and there is no representation, either express or implied, that the conditions indicated in the investigation reports or records are representative of those existing throughout the site or any part thereof, or that unlooked for develop-ments may not occur or that materials other than or in proportions different from those indicated may not be encountered.

b.During construction, if the Contractor encounters soil or subsurface conditions which

differ materially from those shown in the Drawings or in the investigation records referred to above, the Contractor shall promptly, and before such condition is disturbed, notify the Owner's Representative in writing of such conditions. Any claims of the Contractor shall not be allowed unless he has given the required written notice. The Owner's Representative will investigate the conditions. If he finds the conditions materially different from those which reasonably should have been anticipated on the basis of a careful consideration of said records of investigations, logs of borings, and examination of the site, and finds that said conditions will cause an increase or decrease in the cost of, and/or the time required for performance of the Contract, the Owner will modify the Contract terms in writing to provide for an adjustment as permitted in the General Condition in cost and/or time of performance. In rendering his decision, the Owner's Representative will use the boring results and other studies of the site, and such technical assistance therewith from the Soils Engineer as may be required, but nothing in such use shall serve to imply that the status of the boring results and other studies has changed. They are not part of the Contract Documents.

c.The Geotechnical Investigation is available for viewing at Caltech. The geotechnical

Investigation report can be purchased from Converse Consultants; telephone (626) 930-1233.
