Common use of Conditions Affecting the Work Clause in Contracts

Conditions Affecting the Work. a. The Private Entity is responsible for having taken steps reasonably necessary to ascertain the nature and location of the Work, and the general and local conditions that can affect the Work or its costs, including, but not limited to available parking and staging areas and existing building materials and components. Any failure by the Private Entity to reasonably ascertain the conditions affecting the Work does not relieve the Private Entity from responsibility for successfully performing the Work without additional expense to the Owner. Each party assumes no responsibility for any representations concerning conditions made by any of its officers, employees or agents before execution of this Agreement unless such representations are expressly stated in the Agreement.
