If an excess or shortage of earth is encountered, the Contractor shall confirm with the Owner and Engineer the requirements for stockpiling, removal or importing of earth. B. Minor adjustments to the grades may be required to earthwork balances when minor excess material or shortages are encountered. It is recognized by the parties hereto that the calculations of the the Engineer in determining earthwork quantities shall be accomplished in accordance with the American Society of Civil Engineers Standards for such calculations. Further, that these calculations are subject to the interpretations of soil borings as the physical limits of the various soil types, the allowable variation in finish grade and compaction permitted the contractors and that all of these parameters may cause either an excess or shortage of actual earthwork materials to complete the project. If such on actual minor excess or shortage of materials occurs, the contractor shall contact the Engineer to determine if adjustment can be made to correct the imbalance at earth. 9. TESTING A.
