Common use of Owner Occupancy Clause in Contracts

Owner Occupancy. Construction Manager shall provide a smooth Owner occupancy of the Project. Construction Manager shall provide consultation and project management to facilitate Owner occupancy and provide transitional services to get the Work, as completed by Construction Manager, “on line” and in such condition as will satisfy Owner’s operational requirements. Construction Manager recognizes Owner is a public entity responsible for operating facilities related to public education. If the Project, or any portion, is not complete in time for regularly scheduled student occupancy, then Owner may, at its option, occupy the Project or a portion thereof prior to Construction Manager obtaining Substantial Completion. In the event of occupancy prior to Substantial Completion, the parties agree that occupancy will not be construed as acceptance of the Work or construed as Substantial Completion. Construction Manager shall conduct the punch list inspection, incorporating the Owner’s punch list, and coordinate the completion of all final punch list work to be done with Owner occupancy requirements in mind.
