Occasional retention o f floodwaters may inundate portions of the public use areas, other areas, or access roads thereto, being serviced by this contract/purchase order. In the event that inundation materially affects the scope of work, the Contractor will be requested to submi t a pricing proposal covering the unserviceable or affected portion of work in order that an equitable adjustment to contract/purchase order price can be negotiated and an adjustment made in accordance with the appropriate contract clause entitled Changes.
