Work Performed by Utility Owners Clause Samples
The "Work Performed by Utility Owners" clause defines the responsibilities and procedures for any work that must be carried out by utility companies or utility owners within a project. This clause typically outlines which tasks are to be performed by the utility owner, such as relocating, adjusting, or protecting existing utility lines, and may specify coordination requirements, scheduling, and notification processes between the contractor and the utility owner. Its core practical function is to clearly allocate responsibility for utility-related work, thereby minimizing delays, avoiding conflicts, and ensuring that all parties understand their roles in relation to existing utilities during the project.
