Over Excavation Sample Clauses
The Over Excavation clause defines the responsibilities and procedures when excavation on a construction site extends beyond the specified depth or boundaries required by the project plans. Typically, this clause outlines who is liable for the costs and corrective measures if more material is removed than necessary, whether due to error, unforeseen site conditions, or other factors. For example, if a contractor digs deeper than the approved foundation depth, the clause may specify whether the contractor or the project owner bears the cost of backfilling and restoring the site. Its core function is to allocate risk and financial responsibility for excess excavation, ensuring clarity and preventing disputes over additional work and costs.
Over Excavation. The Finished Lot Improvements required for each Lot do not include any “over excavation” or comparable preparation or mitigation of the soil (the “Overex”) on the Property and Purchaser shall have sole responsibility at Purchaser’s sole expense with respect to the Overex and shall have the right (pursuant to a license agreement to be provided by Seller) to enter such Lots for the purposes of performing the Overex; provided, however, that such entry shall be performed in a manner that does not materially interfere with or result in a material delay or an increase in the costs or any expenses in the construction of the Finish Lot Improvements, and provided further that Purchaser shall promptly repair any portion of the Lots and adjacent property that is materially damaged by Purchaser or its agents, designees, employees, contractors, or subcontractors in performing the Overex. Purchaser shall obtain, at its cost, a current geotechnical report for the Property and an individual lot soils report for each Lot containing design recommendations from a licensed geotechnical engineer for all structures to be placed upon the Lot (“Purchaser’s Geotechnical Reports”) shall not rely upon any geotechnical or soils report furnished by Seller, and Seller shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the Overex, Purchaser’s Geotechnical Reports or any matters related thereto. The parties shall reasonably cooperate in coordinating Purchaser’s completion of the Overex so that the Overex can be properly sequenced with Seller’s completion of the Finished Lot Improvements. In no event shall the Seller be liable to Purchaser for any delay or costs or damages incurred by Purchaser with respect to such Overex, even if caused by any delay in installation of Finished Lot Improvements sequenced ahead of the Overex. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SELLER IS NOT PERFORMING ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE LOTS AND THAT SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE LOTS OR EXPANSIVE SOILS PRESENT ON THE LOTS AND SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE LOTS AND EXPANSIVE SOILS PRESENT ON THE LOTS.
Over Excavation. If at any point in common excavation the foundation material is excavated beyond the lines required to receive the structure, or if at any point in common excavation the natural foundation material is disturbed or loosened during the excavation process, it shall be compacted in place or where directed, it shall be removed and replaced as follows. In excavation in soils the over excavation shall be filled in by selected bedding material and compacted. In excavation in rock it shall be filled by M5 grade cement concrete. Any and all excess excavation or over excavation performed by the contractor for any purpose or reason except for additional excavation as may be prescribed by the Engineer-in- charge and whether or not due to the fault of the contractor shall be at the expense of the contractor. Filling for such excess excavation or over excavation shall be at the expense of the contractor.
