BUILDER’S RISK FOR CONSTRUCTION RENOVATION PROJECTS If the project is CONSTRUCTION RENOVATION of an existing structure, and the State has already determined that Contractor will not be obligated to obtain and maintain Builder’s Risk insurance, then the following provisions apply:
(1) The State will maintain property insurance upon the construction site and will not require Contractor to purchase and maintain Builder's Risk Insurance upon the entire work at the site.
(2) The decision of the State to waive the requirement that the Contractor maintain builder’s risk coverage does not waive Contractor’s liability for damage to the State’s real and personal property. Contractor’s liability for loss to the State’s real and personal property will be limited to the first $100,000 of each and every property loss at the work site provided such loss is covered under the State’s property insurance coverage. If the Contractor elects to meet this obligation by purchase of commercial insurance, this insurance shall name the Contractor and the State of Vermont as Named Insureds and shall include the interests of the Contractor and Subcontractors. Other parties shall be insured as the State may reasonably require.
(3) Contractor shall effect and maintain insurance on portions of the work stored off-site, on site and in transit. Boiler & Machinery Insurance may be used in conjunction with this coverage if it is required to meet the testing requirement. The cost of any deductible applicable to loss covered by insurance provided hereunder shall be borne by the Contractor.
(4) Except as provided for in 11.2.2 (1)-(3) above the State and Contractor waive all rights against each other and the Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractors, agents and employees of the other.
Office Equipment The Client must not install any cabling, IT or telecom connections without the Provider’s consent, which the Provider may refuse at its absolute discretion.
Suspension of unsafe Construction Works (i) Upon recommendation of the Authority’s Engineer to this effect, the Authority may by notice require the Contractor to suspend forthwith the whole or any part of the Works if, in the reasonable opinion of the Authority’s Engineer, such work threatens the safety of the Users and pedestrians.
(ii) The Contractor shall, pursuant to the notice under Clause 11.17 (i), suspend the Works or any part thereof for such time and in such manner as may be specified by the Authority and thereupon carry out remedial measures to secure the safety of suspended works, the Users and pedestrians. The Contractor may by notice require the Authority’s Engineer to inspect such remedial measures forthwith and make a report to the Authority recommending whether or not the suspension hereunder may be revoked. Upon receiving the recommendations of the Authority’s Engineer, the Authority shall either revoke such suspension or instruct the Contractor to carry out such other and further remedial measures as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Authority, and the procedure set forth in this Clause 11.17 shall be repeated until the suspension hereunder is revoked.
(iii) Subject to the provisions of Clause 21.6, all reasonable costs incurred for maintaining and protecting the Works or part thereof during the period of suspension (the “Preservation Costs”), shall be borne by the Contractor; provided that if the suspension has occurred as a result of any breach of this Agreement by the Authority, the Preservation Costs shall be borne by the Authority.
(iv) If suspension of Works is for reasons not attributable to the Contractor, the Authority’s Engineer shall determine any Time Extension to which the Contractor is reasonably entitled.
Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment The contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment.
