10.1.2 In the event the Contractor encounters on the site material reasonably believed to be
asbestos, lead paint, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), or any other environmental hazard which has
not been rendered harmless, the Contractor shall immediately stop Work in the area affected and
report the condition to the Board and Engineer in writing. The Work in the affected area shall not
thereafter be resumed except by written agreement of the Board and Contractor if in fact the material
is asbestos, lead paint, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), or any other environmental hazard and has
not been rendered harmless. The Work in the affected area shall be resumed in the absence of
asbestos, lead paint, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), or any other environmental hazard or when
it has been rendered harmless, by written agreement of the Board and Contractor, or in accordance
with final determination by the Engineer. The term "rendered harmless" shall be interpreted to mean
that levels of asbestos, lead paint, PCB, or any other environmental hazard are less than any
applicable exposure standards set forth in OSHA regulations. However, in no event shall the Board
have any responsibility for any substance or material that is brought to the Project site by the
Contractor, any Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor or materialman or supplier or any entity for whom
any of them is responsible.
