Common use of SUBCONTRACTOR RELATIONS Clause in Contracts

SUBCONTRACTOR RELATIONS. (a) Contractor shall require each Subcontractor by written agreement, to the extent of the Work to be performed by Subcontractor, to be bound to Contractor by the terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities, including the responsibility for safety of Subcontractor’s Work, which Contractor, by the Contract Documents, assumes toward HFC. Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of HFC, Project Manager, and Architect under the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights. (b) Where appropriate, Contractor shall require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Subordinate Subcontractors. Contractor shall make available to each proposed Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract agreement, copies of the Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will be bound. Subcontractors will similarly make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their respective proposed Subordinate Subcontractors. (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein, any part of the Work performed for Contractor by a Subcontractor shall be pursuant to a written subcontract between Contractor and such Subcontractor, which shall be prepared on Contractor's standard form of subcontract.
