Common use of Suspending the Work Clause in Contracts

Suspending the Work. The Board reserves the right to suspend the Work on a Project, wholly or in part, by written stop order for such period as is necessary for the protection of the Board's interest. The stop order remains in effect until released by the Board in writing. The Board does not assume any liability for damages or loss of anticipated profits resulting from the stoppage of Work, but it may grant General Contractor an extension of time commensurate with the period of actual delay in completion of Work, if the stop order was not necessitated by the acts, failure to act or negligence of General Contractor. General Contractor shall take all means and precautions as may be required to properly protect the finished and partially finished Work during the period or periods of the stop order.
