Common use of Coordination of Construction Clause in Contracts

Coordination of Construction. The Owner is responsible for coordinating the construction with the Engineering Department of EPWU. Curbs must be installed and the streets graded to, but not more than, six inches above subgrade. Five working days' advance notice must be given to the EPWU field engineering crews to stake out the water and/or sewer mains, prepare cut sheets, and provide other directions as may be necessary. The EPWU is entitled to inspect and observe the Work at all times; but it is understood and agreed that the responsibility for conforming the Work to the Plans is the sole responsibility of the Owner. The fact that the EPWU has inspected the Work at any stage shall not be deemed to be acceptance or approval by EPWU of the Work performed. Approval and acceptance of the Work shall be effective only when done so in writing, as provided for below. Nothing herein shall make the EPWU responsible for the Owner or his contractor's failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Plans and Standard General Specifications and Contract Documents, nor shall EPWU be responsible for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction, or the safety precautions incident thereto. In the performance of the Work, the subject of this Agreement, the Owner agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City of El Paso, EPWU/PSB, its officers, agents, employees, and contractors from any and all liability of whatever nature, claim, or kind resulting from the Owner’s or his contractor’s or subcontractor’s prosecution of the Work.
