Neither Owner nor its Project Manager and/or Owner’s Engineer warrant that all sewer, waterlines, electric lines, gas lines, telephone lines and other underground obstacles have been correctly identified. Owner will render reasonable assistance to Contractor to determine the location of existing utilities by making available such maps, records, and other existing available information that is accessible to Owner when requested to do so by Contractor. Owner does not warrant the accuracy of any grades, elevations, dimensions, or locations of utilities, services or underground obstacles given on any drawings issued by Owner or Architect/Engineer, or work installed by other contractors, all of which Contractor will verify prior to starting the Work. Such information is provided to Contractor as a matter of convenience and does not substitute for Contractor using due diligence to reasonably observe and or to access space to determine errors, inconsistencies or omissions.

Temporary drainage is to be provided as necessary. Any errors due to Contractor’s failure to so verify all such grades, elevations, dimensions, or locations will be promptly rectified by Contractor at no additional cost to Owner.
