The Contractor shall, in accordance with the requirements of the Engineer, afford all reasonable opportunities for carrying out their work to any other Contractors employed by the Public Body or any other public authorities who may be employed on or near the Site in the execution of any work not included in the contract, or of any contract which the Public Body may enter into in connection with, or ancillary to, the works.
If, however, the Contractor, on the written request of the Engineer, makes available to any such Contractor, or public authority, or to the Public Body, any roads or ways for the maintenance of which the Contractor is responsible, or permits the use by any such other persons of the Contractor's temporary works, scaffolding or other equipment on the site, or provides any other service of whatsoever nature, which was not provided for in the contract, the Public Body shall pay to the Contractor in respect of such use or service, such sums and/or grant such extension of time, as shall, in the opinion of the Engineer, be reasonable.
The Contractor shall not by reason of this Clause be relieved of any of his obligations under the Contract nor shall he be entitled to any claims other than those provided for in GCC Clause 54.2.
In no circumstances may difficulties arising with regard to one contract entitle the Contractor to modify or delay implementation of other contracts. Similarly, the Public Body may not take advantage of such difficulties to suspend payments due under another contract.
Patents and Licenses
Except where otherwise provided in the SCC, the Contractor shall indemnify the Public Body and the Engineer against any claim resulting from the use as specified in the contract of patents, licenses, drawings, designs, models, or brand or trade marks, except where such infringement results from compliance with the design or specification provided by the Public Body and /or the Engineer.
