Common use of PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS OF WORK Clause in Contracts

PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS OF WORK. The Contractor shall commence on work indicated on the work order no later than the fifth (5th) business day after issuance unless required materials, railroad access, or railroad authorizations are not available. Non-availability of materials shall be verified by at least three (3) different sources. Verification shall be formal and supplied by the Contractor in writing. Issuance of each work order constitutes the notice to proceed with the work described on the work order. Time charges commence from the date of the NTP and continue until substantial completion, as determined by the Engineer, of the individual work order. If there is a verified non-availability of materials, time charges shall commence on the first (1st) working day following the delivery date of materials. The Contractor may have up to six (6) active work orders at any time until all assigned work has been completed. The Contractor is required to have a minimum of two working crews readily available to work on this contract simultaneously, with the ability to provide additional working crews if requested by the Engineer. Each crew is required to have a qualified superintendent as outlined in Section 105.7 of the Standard Specifications. Failure to start assigned work orders in the allowed time constitutes “Failure to Pursue the Work” and subjects the Contractor to Liquidated damages as outlined in Section 108.8 of the Standard Specifications. If work on a specific work order is not completed within the allotted time, Liquidated Damages will be assessed in accordance with Subsection 108.9 and based on the total value of that work order. Each work order shall be considered a separate unit of work. Upon the substantial completion of the work at an individual location, the Engineer will stop time at that location and perform an initial inspection for the work order location in accordance with Subsection 105.16. The Engineer reserves the right to require the Contractor to add work or make repairs to completed locations until such a location has been accepted by the Department. The Contractor must repair all defects in the work caused by poor workmanship or materials at his/her own expense until the Department accepts the Contract after the Primary Inspection. A Primary Inspection will be completed on an annual basis for work orders completed in a calendar year. Upon satisfactory completion of the Final Punchlist, the Department will accept the location and release the Contractor from responsibility for the Work at that location. If a work order is sufficiently large and complex as determined by the Engineer, a Final Inspection may be held upon the individual completion of that work order.
