Common use of OWNER’S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK Clause in Contracts

OWNER’S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK. If the Prime Contractor fails or refuses to carry out the Work or perform any of the terms, covenants, or obligations of the Contract Documents, and fails or refuses to correct any failure or refusal with diligence and promptness within fourteen (14) days after receipt of written notice from the Owner, the Owner may correct the Prime Contractor’s failure or refusal or cause such failure or refusal to be corrected, without affecting, superseding, or waiving any other contractual, legal, or equitable remedies the Owner has, including but not limited to the Owner’s termination rights under Article 13. In that case, an appropriate Change Order will be issued deducting the Owner's cost of correction, including Architect/Engineer's compensation for additional services and expenses made necessary by the failure or refusal of the Prime Contractor from payments then or thereafter due to the Prime Contractor. The cost of correction is subject to verification (but not approval) by the Architect/Engineer. If payments then or thereafter due the Prime Contractor are not sufficient to cover the cost of correction, the Prime Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
