Owner's Right to Award Separate Contracts Clause Samples

The "Owner's Right to Award Separate Contracts" clause grants the project owner the authority to engage multiple contractors independently for different portions of the work. In practice, this means the owner can hire separate firms for tasks such as electrical, plumbing, or landscaping, rather than relying solely on a single general contractor. This clause ensures the owner retains flexibility in managing the project, potentially optimizing costs, timelines, or specialized expertise, and helps prevent disputes over the owner's ability to coordinate multiple contracts simultaneously.

Owner's Right to Award Separate Contracts. A. The Owner has the right to award separate Contracts of the same or a similar nature on the same or similar Project Sites, or for other work on the same Project Sites. B. When separate Contracts are awarded, the term "Contractor" in the Contract Documents in each case shall mean the Contractor who executes each separate Contract for construction. C. At no additional cost to the Owner, the Contractor shall coordinate the Work with the activities of each separate Contractor with the intent of each Contractor being able to complete its Work in the most time efficient and cost efficient manner under the circumstances. D. If part of the Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon construction or operations by a separate Contractor, the Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to the Owner in writing any apparent discrepancies or defects in such construction or operations performed by a separate Contractor that would render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Contractor to report such apparent discrepancies and/or defects, or to discover such defects or discrepancies which in the exercise of due diligence as a reasonably competent contractor reasonably should have been discovered, shall constitute an acknowledgment that the separate Contractors' completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the Contractor's Work.
