ARTICLE II CHANGES AND DELAYS 2.1 Changes Owner shall have the right, by written order executed by Owner, to make changes to the timing or scope of the Services to be provided pursuant to this Contract (a “Services Change Order”).

Such request shall be submitted before Consultant proceeds with any Services for which Consultant claims an equitable adjustment is due.

Accordingly, any opinions of probable Project costs or construction costs provided for herein are estimates only, made on the basis of Consultant’s experience and qualifications and represent Contract Page 6 of 18 Consultant’s best judgment as an experienced and qualified professional, familiar with the industry.

Consultant shall, at all times while providing, performing, or completing the Services, including without limitation at all times while providing corrective Services pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Contract, maintain and keep in force, at Consultant’s expense, at least the minimum insurance coverage and limits set forth in Attachment B.

The Services or each phase of the Services, as the case may be, shall be deemed accepted by Owner if not objected to in writing within 30 days after submission by Consultant of the Services or such phase of Services for final acceptance and payment plus, if applicable, such additional time as may be considered reasonable for obtaining approval of governmental authorities having jurisdiction to approve the Services, or phase of Services, as the case may be.
