Clause 2.5 in the 2017 editions deals with site data and items of reference. This clause provides for the Employer to make available to the Contractor before the Base Date all relevant data in his possession as to the topography of the site and sub‐surface, hydrological, climatic and environmental conditions at the site. If the Employer comes into possession of any such data after the Base Date then he is to provide them promptly to the Contractor. Original survey control points, lines and levels of reference, referred to collectively as ‘items of reference’ in the general conditions, are to be specified in the Employer's Requirements (in the Silver Book), or in the Employer's Requirements or issued to the Contractor by a notice from the Engineer in the Yellow Book, or (in the Red Book) in the Drawings and/or Specification or again issued to the Contractor by a notice from the Engineer. The Silver Book moreover expressly disclaims any responsibility of the Employer for the accuracy, sufficiency or completeness of the data and/or items of reference except to the extent stated in clause 5.1 (discussed in Section 5.1 below).
