Common use of Site Work Clause in Contracts

Site Work. A. Area of Concern: Settling of ground around the building and the utility trenches. Standard: When the areas for the building and the utilities serving the building were excavated, the holes dug were larger than the actual size of the building and the utilities installed. In certain situations, due to engineering requirements, these areas cannot be compacted when they are backfilled and are, therefore, subject to slight settlement. If settlement occurs, Summit Homes Construction will fill the settled areas once during the Warranty Period provided that (i) Developer or Initial Purchaser has not changed the grades, xxxxxx, and drainage patterns of the site and (ii) Developer or Initial Purchaser assumes full responsibility for any landscaping affected thereby. Any additional settlement must be corrected by Developer or Initial Purchaser. B. Area of Concern: Drainage Standard: The grading of the site has been completed in a manner which assures that any water falling on the site, whether from natural precipitation or from lawn irrigation, will flow positively away from the foundation and slabs of the building. Developer or Initial Purchaser must maintain the grades, xxxxxx, and drainage patterns established by Summit Homes Construction as part of the final grade. C. Area of Concern: Utility Equipment Standard: Electricity and Natural gas are provided by Xcel Energy, communications are provided by Comcast, and water and sewer services are provided by the Town of Breckenridge and Breckenridge Sanitation District. These entities choose where to locate equipment necessary to provide these services and they cannot be moved. D. Area of Concern: Revegetation/Native Grass Standard: Native grass takes time, water and maintenance to establish in the Summit County environment. Following initial installation, disturbed topsoil allows fan weeds to grow rapidly. Fan weeds are not considered a warranty item and will not be addressed. Fan weeds should be cut after their first growth, and they will not grow back. If noxious weeds grow, they should be removed by hand prior to allowing seed growth, per Summit County regulations. Grass subjected to dog pee will die and will not be addressed as a warranty item. Watering and weed maintenance is the responsibility of the owner and/or owner’s association. Native grasses are not intended to look like manicured lawn or sod and are not expected to reach full coverage.
