Common use of STATE'S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK Clause in Contracts

STATE'S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK. 3.4.1 If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and fails within seven days after receipt of written notice from the State to commence and continue correction of such default or neglect with diligence and promptness, the State may, after seven days following receipt by the Contractor of an additional written notice and without prejudice to any other remedy he may have, make good such deficiencies. In such case an appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting from the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor the cost of correcting such deficiencies, including compensation for the Architect's and the State’s additional services made necessary by such default, neglect or failure. Such action by the State and the amount charged to the Contractor are both subject to review by the Architect under Paragraph 2.2.14 of these General Conditions. If the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover the amounts paid by the State to make good such deficiencies, then the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
