Assignment of Construction-Related Contracts Sample Clauses

The Assignment of Construction-Related Contracts clause allows one party to transfer its rights and obligations under construction agreements to another party. In practice, this means that if a property is sold or a project changes hands, the new owner or developer can step into the shoes of the original party for contracts with contractors, architects, or suppliers. This clause ensures continuity in project management and performance, preventing disruptions that could arise if contracts could not be reassigned during ownership or project transitions.

Related to Assignment of Construction-Related Contracts

  • Construction Phase - Administration of the Construction Contract INDICATE IN STATEMENT OF WORK “NOT APPLICABLE” IF SECTION IS NOT APPLICABLE 1.1.9.1. The Construction Phase will commence with the award of the Construction Contract to a selected vendor (“Contractor”) and will terminate when final payment is made by the State to the Contractor. In any event, the construction phase will not extend 60 days beyond the substantial completion date unless extended by change order. If such extension occurs, additional costs due to the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall be negotiated with the State. 1.1.9.2. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall work with the State during the construction of the Project to provide the administration of the contract between the State and the Contractor in accordance with the terms herein and consistent with the contract between the State and the Contractor, and the extent of his/her duties and responsibilities and the limitations of his/her authority as assigned therein shall not be modified without his/her written consent. 1.1.9.3. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall advise and consult with the State, and all of the State's instructions to the Contractor shall be issued through the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER after authorization by the State. 1.1.9.4. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall, at all times, have access to the work wherever it is in preparation or progress. 1.1.9.5. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall make periodic visits to the Project site, at least biweekly, and shall make such further visits when reasonably requested by the State, as to familiarize himself/herself with the progress and quality of the work performed and as to determine, on the basis of such visits, if such progress and quality are in accordance with the Contract Documents. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall be responsible for project meeting minutes. In addition to this, the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall periodically report his/her findings thereon to the State, at such times as in the exercise of his/her professional judgment such findings are appropriate and at least monthly, at the conference provided for in Section 1.1.9.6, and further at such times as the State may reasonably request. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections, except as required in the exercise of his/her professional judgment for said reports and, except in particular, to fulfill the commissioning requirements. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall not be responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the work, and he/she shall not be responsible for the Contractor's failure to carry out the work in accordance with the Contract Documents except as provided for herein specifically between the State and the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER. 1.1.9.6. In preparing the bid documents, to the extent that the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER utilizes sub- consultants for their expertise, such as, but not limited to: Landscape Architects, Civil, Structural, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineers, these consultants, in effect, become an extension of the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER. Where the term ARCHITECT/ENGINEER is used in Section 1.1.9.2 as well as 1.1.9.5, it shall include those sub-consultants when work is being performed in their area of expertise. For example, the Mechanical Engineer would inspect the under slab plumbing before it is backfilled, but then wouldn’t necessarily be needed on site until the rest of the mechanical systems are being installed. The sub-consultant shall also be required to periodically inspect the progress of the “As-builts” and verify that they are up-to-date and verify such to the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER, before the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER issues the certificate of payment for that pay period. 1.1.9.7. Based upon his/her determinations and reports made under Section 1.1.9.5 of this Agreement and upon the Contractor's applications for payment, the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall once every month, after an on-site conference between the State, the Contractor and the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER, determine the amount then owing to the Contractor and shall then issue a certificate of payment for the amount agreed upon. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall constitute a representation by the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER to the State, based on such ARCHITECT/ENGINEER'S determination and report and the data supplied to him/her by the Contractor (without affecting his/her duties defined in Section 1.1.9.5.), that the work has progressed to the point indicated; that the quality of the work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to the results of any specified subsequent tests required by the Contract Documents, to immaterial and insubstantial deviations from the Contract Documents, which will be corrected prior to completion, and to any further specific qualifications stated in the Certificate for Payment); and that the Contractor is entitled to such payment in the amount certified. Provided, however, the issuance of such certificate will not affect any obligations of the Contractor to the State. By issuing a certificate for payment, the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall not be deemed to represent that he/she has made any examination to ascertain how and for what purpose the Contractor has used the monies paid on account of the contract sum. ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall not accept any part of the work on behalf of the State; ARCHITECT/ENGINEER may only recommend acceptance. Final acceptance is a right reserved solely to the State. 1.1.9.8. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall be, in the first instance, the interpreter of the requirements of all Construction Documents, and shall have all requisite authority relating thereto for the purposes of authorizing the Contractor to proceed or stop with any component of the project after consultation and agreement with the State. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall not be liable to the State for any loss or cost incurred by the State arising from delays in the construction schedule caused by any decision made by the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER in the reasonable exercise of professional judgment either to exercise or not to exercise his/her authority to stop the Work. 1.1.9.9. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall review and respond to shop drawings, samples, and other submissions of the Contractor as in conformance with the design concept and information in the Contract Documents and the designs and plans relating to the project until approved or not requiring re-submission. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall also review the submittal log at construction meetings and report to the State, on a monthly basis, their findings thereon. 1.1.9.10. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall prepare all change orders and supporting data for the State's approval. 1.1.9.11. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall conduct inspections to determine the Dates of Substantial Completion and Final Completion and shall receive written guarantees and related documents assembled by the Contractors and shall issue a final certificate of payment in accordance with Section 1.1.9.6. 1.1.9.12. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall be responsible for system commissioning in accordance with the BGS Design Guidelines and as indicated in the BGS Commissioning Guidelines. Please see the BGS website ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/facilities/forms . The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall inspect, and document, each and every system to ensure that it complies with design intent, including but not limited to: system installation, system operation, and seasonal changeover. 1.1.9.13. Except in the manner specifically provided for herein, the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall not be responsible to the State for the acts or omissions of the Contractor or any of the Contractor’s agents or employees, or any other person not an employee or agent of the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER performing work on the Project. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall be responsible for and shall pay the amount of any increase in the total Contract Price or the total Change Order(s) Price, which increase results from an error, inconsistency, or omission in the Contract Documents or instructions. 1.1.9.14. ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall furnish to the State, a complete set of marked-up drawings and specifications showing all the changes to the Construction Documents made by Addenda, Change Orders, Shop Drawings, RFIs and other information received from the Clerk; and General Contractor’s As-built markups. The changes to the drawings are to be created on a separate layer in the DWG set and highlighted in a box, cloud or the like in the PDF set. The specifications are also to differentiate the changes made by highlighting in a box, cloud, etc. and be provided in Microsoft Word. These drawings and specifications shall be supplied within three (3) months of the date of Substantial Completion and before final payment. 1.1.9.15. Architect/Engineer (and design team members as required) shall conduct a one-year warranty inspection of the completed construction project between the eleventh and twelfth month from the date of substantial completion and shall issue a list of defective items needing correction to the Contractor.

  • Commencement of Construction Construction of the Project will start within thirty (30) days after notification to the Developer by the Owner, or as soon thereafter as weather and ground conditions permit.

  • Cost of Construction 1. During the Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Document Phases, the ARCHITECT’s estimates of Construction Cost shall be reconciled against the Budget approved by the DISTRICT pursuant to Article IV, Section 2. 2. The PROJECT’s “Construction Cost,” as used in this AGREEMENT, means the total cost to the DISTRICT of all work designed or specified by the ARCHITECT, which includes the total award from the initial construction Contract(s) plus the work covered by approved change orders and/or any alternates approved by the DISTRICT. The Construction Cost shall not include any costs that are not specifically referenced in this Article V, Section 2, as approved costs. Costs excluded from the Construction Cost include, but are not limited to, payments to the ARCHITECT or other DISTRICT consultants, costs of inspections, surveys, tests, and landscaping not included in PROJECT. 3. If the PROJECT is using the multiple-prime delivery method of construction, the Construction Manager’s fees and/or general conditions will only be included in the total Construction Cost used to calculate the ARCHITECT’s fee only if agreed upon in writing by the DISTRICT. Absent any written agreement, the Construction Manager’s fees or general conditions shall not be included in the total Construction Cost used to calculate the ARCHITECT’s fee. 4. When labor or material is furnished by the DISTRICT below its market cost, the Construction Cost shall be based upon current market cost of labor and new material. 5. The Construction Cost shall be the acceptable estimate of Construction Costs to the DISTRICT as submitted by the ARCHITECT until such time as bids have been received, whereupon it shall be the bid amount of the lowest responsible responsive bidder. 6. Any Budget or fixed limit of Construction Cost shall be adjusted if the bidding has not commenced within ninety (90) days after the ARCHITECT submits the Construction Documents to the DISTRICT to reflect changes in the general level of prices in the construction industry between the date of submission of the Construction Documents to the DISTRICT and the date on which bids are sought for the PROJECT. 7. If the lowest bid received exceeds the Budget: a. The DISTRICT may give written approval of an increase of such fixed limit and proceed with the construction of the PROJECT; b. The DISTRICT may authorize rebidding of the PROJECT within a reasonable time; c. If the PROJECT is abandoned, the DISTRICT may terminate this AGREEMENT in accordance with Article VIII, Section 2; d. The DISTRICT may request the ARCHITECT prepare, at no additional cost, deductive change packages that will bring the PROJECT within the Budget; or e. The DISTRICT may request the ARCHITECT cooperate in revising the PROJECT scope and quality as required to reduce the Construction Cost. 8. If the DISTRICT chooses to proceed under Article V, Section 7(e), the ARCHITECT, without additional charge, agrees to redesign the PROJECT until the PROJECT is brought within the Budget set forth in this AGREEMENT. Redesign does not mean phasing or removal of parts of the PROJECT unless agreed to in writing by the DISTRICT. Redesign means the redesign of the PROJECT, with all its component parts, to meet the Budget set forth in this AGREEMENT.

  • Certain Matters of Construction The terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or subdivision. Any pronoun used shall be deemed to cover all genders. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, “from” means “from and including,” and “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding.” The terms “including” and “include” shall mean “including, without limitation” and, for purposes of each Loan Document, the parties agree that the rule of ejusdem generis shall not be applicable to limit any provision. Section titles appear as a matter of convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any Loan Document. All references to (a) laws or statutes include all related rules, regulations, interpretations, amendments and successor provisions; (b) any document, instrument or agreement include any amendments, waivers and other modifications, extensions or renewals (to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents); (c) any section mean, unless the context otherwise requires, a section of this Agreement; (d) any exhibits or schedules mean, unless the context otherwise requires, exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference; (e) any Person include successors and assigns; (f) time of day mean time of day at Agent’s notice address under Section 14.3.1; or (g) discretion of Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender mean the sole and absolute discretion of such Person. All calculations of Value, fundings of Loans, issuances of Letters of Credit and payments of Obligations shall be in Dollars and, unless the context otherwise requires, all determinations (including calculations of Borrowing Base and financial covenants) made from time to time under the Loan Documents shall be made in light of the circumstances existing at such time. Borrowing Base calculations shall be consistent with historical methods of valuation and calculation, and otherwise satisfactory to Agent (and not necessarily calculated in accordance with GAAP). Borrowers shall have the burden of establishing any alleged negligence, misconduct or lack of good faith by Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender under any Loan Documents. No provision of any Loan Documents shall be construed against any party by reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, drafted the provision. Whenever the phrase “to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge” or words of similar import are used in any Loan Documents, it means actual knowledge of a Senior Officer, or knowledge that a Senior Officer would have obtained if he or she had engaged in good faith and diligent performance of his or her duties, including reasonably specific inquiries of employees or agents and a good faith attempt to ascertain the matter to which such phrase relates.
