Common use of Contractor-Provided Training Clause in Contracts

Contractor-Provided Training. Commencing at least thirty (30) days prior to the then-scheduled date for achievement of Mechanical Completion, Contractor shall provide, at its own expense, a training program in the operation and maintenance of the Project for Owner’s Project Personnel and the operation and maintenance contractor’s Project Personnel (collectively, “O&M Personnel”). The training program provided by Contractor shall be as described on Exhibit J-1 and shall (a) include classroom and field training, (b) include all educational materials necessary for such training, and (c) establish quality controls so that O&M Personnel are suitably trained and capable of operating and maintaining the Project after Project Substantial Completion. Contractor shall make every reasonable effort to use the O&M Personnel during start-up and initial operation of the Project; provided, however, Owner shall not be obligated to supply (i) O&M Personnel for the construction of the Project or (ii) provide during Project start-up and initial operation more O&M Personnel than the number of O&M Personnel Owner an Operations and maintenance contractor would use during normal Project operation as determined by Owner. Contractor shall remain solely responsible for performing the Work in accordance with this Agreement, including Contractor’s obligation to achieve Project Substantial Completion, and achieve Final Completion, subject to Contractor’s right to a Change Order in the event of an Owner-Caused Delay. The cost of the O&M Personnel’s salary, travel, lodging, food and other living expenses shall be borne by Owner.
