Common use of WORK BY OTHERS Clause in Contracts

WORK BY OTHERS. The County may perform additional work related to the project by itself, or it may let other direct contracts which shall contain terms and conditions similar to these. The Contractor shall afford the other contractors who are parties to such direct contracts (or the County, if it is performing the additional work itself), reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment and the execution of work, and shall properly connect and coordinate his Work with theirs. Should the contract entail relocation of facilities not a part of this Contract, the Contractor will coordinate and cooperate with the applicable entity responsible for this portion of the work. If any part of the Contractor’s Work depends (for proper execution of results) upon work of any such other Contractor (or the County), the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to the Project Manager in writing any defects, deficiencies or delays in such work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. The Contractor’s failure to report shall constitute an acceptance of the other work, except as to defects, deficiencies and delays which may appear in the other work after the execution of the work. The Contractor shall do all cutting, fitting and patching of his Work that may be required to make its several parts come together properly, and fit it to receive or be received by such other work. The Contractor shall not endanger any work of others by cutting, excavating or otherwise altering such other work and shall only cut or alter such other work with the written consent of the Project Manager. If the performance of additional work by other Contractors or the County is not noted in the contract documents prior to the execution of the Contract, written notice thereof shall be given to the Contractor prior to starting any such additional work. If the Contractor believes that the performance of such additional work by the County or others involves him in additional expense or entitles him to an extension of the Contract Time, he may make a claim therefore as provided herein these contract terms and conditions. Utility Coordination – Section 337.401 (1), Florida Statutes and other applicable law allows utility owners to install and maintain along, above, under, across or on any road or right-of-way any electric transmission or distribution facilities, telephone, telegraph, pole lines, poles, railway structures, ditches, sewers, water, heat, gas mains, pipelines, fences, gasoline tanks and pumps, waterlines, gas lines, wire lines, utility service connections, water and gas meter boxes, valve boxes, light standards, cable lines, cable ways, signals, signal boxes, and all other utility installations, improvements and utility appurtenances to be installed and maintained in the right-of-way. The Contractor understands and agrees that the lands upon which the Work is to be performed consists of prior existing right-of-way, as well as, recently acquired right-of-way. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that utility installations and appurtenances are located within the limits of the planned construction Work. The utility installations and appurtenances may be in conflict with the Contractor’s Work or require relocation or adjustments. All utility conflict resolutions, relocations, or adjustments are to be moved by the utility owners at their expense, unless otherwise provided in the Contract documents. The Contractor, by submission of a bid, agrees that prior to bid he has studied, performed field inspections, and evaluated all potential utility conflicts, the locations of permanent and temporary utility appurtenances in their present and relocated positions as may be shown on the plans. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the Contractor’s bid has considered all potential utility conflicts, the locations of permanent and temporary utility appurtenances in their present and relocated positions including those shown on the plans, not shown on the plans, and those identified during the Contractor’s pre-bid study or that should have been identified during the Contractor’s field inspections, and evaluation of the limits of the planned construction Work. The design Professional may show surface or subsurface utility conflicts, relocations, or adjustments in the drawings and plans. The surface and subsurface utility information shown in the drawings and plans was obtained and used by the design Professional to establish design criteria for the design plans. The accuracy as to location and the identification of all surface or subsurface utility information is not warranted or guaranteed and is not to be construed as part of the construction plans governing the construction Work. The Contractor shall solely make his own determinations as to surface and subsurface conditions. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for utility coordination including all utility conflict resolutions, relocations, and adjustments. The concept of “utility coordination” means that the Contractor shall, at a minimum:
