Common use of OTHER WORK Clause in Contracts

OTHER WORK. 11.1. The County may perform other work related to the Project at the Site by the County's own forces, have other work performed by utility owners or let other direct contracts. If the fact that such other work is to be performed is not noted in the Contract Documents, forty-eight (48) hours’ written notice thereof will be given to Design-Build Firm prior to starting any such other work. If Design-Build Firm believes that such performance will involve additional expense to Design-Build Firm or require additional time, Design- Build Firm shall send written notice of that fact to the County and County’s Representative within forty-eight (48) hours of being notified of the other work. If the Design-Build Firm fails to send the above required forty-eight (48) hour notice, the Design-Build Firm shall be deemed to have waived any rights it otherwise may have had to seek an extension to the Contract Time or adjustment to the Contract Amount. 11.2. Design-Build Firm shall afford each utility owner and other Design-Build Firm who is a party to such a direct contract (or the County, if the County is performing the additional work with the County's employees) proper and safe access to the Site and a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment and the execution of such work and shall properly connect and coordinate its Work with theirs. Design-Build Firm shall do all cutting, fitting and patching of the Work that may be required to make its several parts come together properly and integrate with such other work. Design-Build Firm shall not endanger any work of others by cutting, excavating or otherwise altering their work and shall only cut or alter their work with the written consent of the County’s Representative and the others whose work will be affected. The duties and responsibilities of Design-Build Firm under this paragraph are for the benefit of such utility owners and other Design-Build Firms to the extent that there are comparable provisions for the benefit of Design-Build Firm in said direct contracts between the County and such utility owners and other Design-Build Firms. 11.3. If any part of Design-Build Firm's Work depends for proper execution or results upon the work of any other contractor or utility owner (or the County), Design-Build Firm shall inspect and promptly report to County’s Representative in writing any delays, defects or deficiencies in such work that render it unavailable or unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Design-Build Firm's failure to report shall constitute an acceptance of the other work as fit and proper for integration with Design-Build Firm's Work.
