    The offered (unit-) prices in the tender, are proposed subject to an absence of change in the measures, guidelines, advice and circumstances known on the date of this tender.

In case of such a change in the circumstances or adaptation of the construction costs or prices of third parties prior to conclusion of the contract, the prices and unit prices proposed in the tender shall be annulled, and G&D CONSTRUCT BV may unilaterally adapt these prices and unit prices in order to take account of the price or construction cost increase. In case of such a change in the circumstances or adaptation of the construction costs or prices of third parties after conclusion of the contract, G&D CONSTRUCT BV is entitled to a proportionate increase of the price in order to take account of the price or construction cost increase.   The starting date and performance period shall take account of the period in which the measures imposed or recommended by the governments and medical experts apply, in particular the measures of social distancing and imposed or recommended working from home. The works shall not commence earlier than after the end of such period and, when defining the starting date, account must reasonably be taken of the restarting of other projects.     The offered and/or discussed performance period and planning are proposed subject to an absence of change in the measures, guidelines, advice and circumstances known on the date of this tender.
