Scope of Services 1. The parties shall adjust compensation to Consultant to reflect such changes in the Services. Assumptions concerning site conditions can also be set forth. This may be in a different clause of the contract or even a separate table or attachment. It can be used to clarify the scope of services.
Some contracts place the risk of changed conditions on the consultant.
If the field conditions differ from what was anticipated, this may have significant impact on the services the consultant must perform in order to complete the contract. If the actual conditions are different from the assumptions, the contract should state that the Consultant is entitled to an equitable adjustment to the scope and price, as mutually agreed. If there is a chance that waste materials or environmental hazards may be encountered, describe any environmental responsibilities that you do not intend to assume. It is understood and agreed that Consultant is not, and has no responsibility as, a handler, generator, operator, treater, storer, transporter, or arranger for transport or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances found or identified at the site, and that Consultant shall not be responsible to undertake or arrange for the handling, removal, treatment, storage, transportation, or disposal of hazardous substances or constituents found or identified at a site.
