Common use of WINTER SHUTDOWN Clause in Contracts

WINTER SHUTDOWN. At the time Contractor submits the permits, it shall include a time schedule designating construction start and completion dates within the Project site location. If permission is granted to begin construction, this schedule shall be strictly adhered to. Contractor shall take whatever winter protection measures necessary to complete this Work prior to adverse weather conditions. If the Work is not performed according to this schedule, due to Contractor’s fault and/or negligence, construction time could be extended into the critical season where adverse weather conditions may prohibit continuation of the construction according to the Contract Documents. If this should occur and cause any street or portion of the street and the surrounding Work area to be in an impassable and/or hazardous condition, thereby creating undue inconvenience and anger to the area residents, the Contractor shall be assessed a daily monetary deduction, as specified under the contract item, “Traffic Control & Protection,” for failure to correct deficiencies for the number of calendar days that unsatisfactory conditions prevailed. However, regardless of the circumstances of the starting of the street construction and for whatever reason any street or portion of the street is found to be in the aforementioned unfavorable condition, it shall not be allowed to remain as such throughout the winter shutdown. Contractor shall, at its own expense, put the roadway and the contiguous construction area in a condition, approved by the City of Chicago that can safely and adequately serve the needs of the abutting property owners. Contractor shall maintain it in this condition until the time that the new construction is permitted to resume and the proposed improvement completed according to the Contract Documents.
