49. The Works or portions of the Works are, without addition to the Contract Sum, to be carried on by night and day without intermission, should there be, in the opinion of the Engineer, any cause which may render such a course necessary.
No work of a permanent character shall, however, be carried on during the night without the knowledge and formal sanction in writing of the Director. In the event of night work being carried out, as herein provided, the Contractors shall provide such good and sufficient lights as will enable the work to proceed satis- factorily and without danger to the staff and employees. The approaches also to the sites where night work is going on shall be efficiently lighted, the whole arrangements being to the satisfaction of the Director.
50. No work of any description shall be carried out on Sunday, without the knowledge and formal sanction in writing of the Director.
51. The Contractors shall, if ordered in writing by the Engineer, suspend the Works or any part thereof for so long and at such time or times as ordered and shall not, after receiving such written notice, proceed with the Works therein ordered to be suspended, until they shall receive written notice or authority to that effect from the Engineer.
52. The Engineer and /or Inspector shall at all times have full power to inspect the Works wherever in progress either on the site, on the Contractors' premises, or at the premises wherever situate of any firm or company, where work in connection with the Contract may be in hand.
53. Should the Engineer consider it necessary, in order to satisfy himself as to the quality of the work, the Contractors shall, at any time during the continuance of the Contract, pull down, or cut into, any part of the work, and make such openings into and to such extent through the same, as the Engineer may direct, and the Contractors shall make good the whole to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Should the work prove to be faulty, or in any respect not in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents, the Engineer shall be at liberty to order such further removal as he may consider necessary, and the whole of the expenses incurred shall be defrayed by the Contractors. If, however, the work proves to be sound, and in accordance with the Contract Documents, the actual expense incurred in such examination will be borne by the Government.
54. If it shall appear that work has been executed with unsound, imperfect or unskilled workmanship, or with materials of an imperfect or an inferior quality, or otherwise not in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractors shall, at their own cost, rectify, reform, remove, or reconstruct the same, either in whole or in part, as may be directed by the Engineer, whether or not the value of any such work or material shall have been previously included in any payment made to the Contractors.
55. The rates contained in the Schedule of Prices having been prepared by the Contractors on their own responsibility shall, together with the Contract Sum but subject to the provisions of this Contract, be binding throughout the Contract, and shall not be subject to revision on account of errors, omissions or discrepancies or any other cause.
56. The Contract Sum shall be taken to include and cover the cost of all royalties and fees for all articles and processes protected by letters patent or otherwise supplied to, or used, or to be used at or on the Works, and the Contractors shall indemnify the Government against all claims and actions arising therefrom, and all payments made, or to be made, on account of the manufacture, use or supply of such articles or processes. The Contract Sum shall also be taken to include and cover all royalties, rents and other payments in connection with the obtaining of materials (of whatsoever kind) required for the works.
