Common use of Owner’s Right to Suspend Work Clause in Contracts

Owner’s Right to Suspend Work. The Owner reserves the right, with or without the concurrence of the Design Professional or Program Manager, to suspend the work at any time or from time to time at the Owner's sole discretion, upon giving CM/GC five (5) days advanced written notice thereof. If the Owner exercises this right and then resumes the work covered hereby, CM/GC shall be entitled, upon timely claim to a Change Order, to payment by Owner of any reasonable Actual Costs incurred by CM/GC in connection with the suspension and resumption of the work, as well as to an extension in the time for performance of the work to the extent CM/GC is delayed by Owner's suspension. Owner’s and Program Manager’s Right to Stop Work. The Owner reserves the right, for itself and the Program Manager, and for any retained Owner’s Construction Inspector, upon observation of apparent nonconforming work, to immediately stop the affected work at any time by oral direction at the Owner's or Program Manager’s sole discretion, with notice to be provided to CM/GC within 72 hours. If the work is later determined by the Design Professional to be in fact conforming work, then CM/GC, for the period commencing 72 hours after the issuance of the initial stop work order, shall be entitled, upon timely claim to a Change Order, to payment by Owner of any reasonable Actual Costs incurred by CM/GC in connection with the stop work order and resumption of the work, as well as to a non-compensable extension in the time for performance of the work to the extent CM/GC is delayed by Owner's stop-work order beyond the initial 72 hours.
