RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONTRACTOR AND OTHER COLLEGE
CONRACTORS
8.1 College's Right to Perform Work
8.1.1 The College may, and reserves the right to, enter upon the premises at any and all times during the
progress of the Work, or cause others to do so for the purpose of installing any apparatus or carrying on any construction
not included in these Specifications or for any other reasonable purpose.
8.1.2 The Contractor shall examine all Work or materials installed by other contractors, the installation of
which may affect the Work in its Contract, and should the same be imperfect, incorrect or insecure, he shall notify the
Contracting Officer immediately in order that the same be rectified.
8.2 Mutual Responsibility
8.2.1 The Contractor shall afford the Contracting Officer and other Contractors under contract with the
College reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of their materials and equipment and the execution of
their work. Each Contractor shall coordinate its Work with adjacent Work and with other trades, so that no portion of
the Work is delayed or not properly undertaken due to such lack or failure of cooperation.
8.2.2 The Contractor shall lay out and install its Work at such time or times and in such manner as to
facilitate the general progress of the Project.
8.2.3 The College shall not be liable for any damages suffered by any Contractor by reason of another
Contractor's default, delinquency, or timing of performance; it being understood that the College does not assume
responsibility for the acts or omission of any Contractors.
8.2.4 Before completion of the Work contemplated herein, should it be deemed necessary by the College to
do any Work whatsoever, in or about the building or structure, other than as provided for in the Contract Documents, the
Contractor shall fully cooperate with such other individual or firm as the College may employ to do such Work, so that
such additional Work may be performed without unreasonable interference. The Contractor shall afford said other
individual or firm all reasonable facilities for doing such Work. Other than an Extension of Time should the work
impact the critical path of the project, the Contractor shall make no claim to the College, as a result of such Work as is
contemplated herein.
8.2.5 The Contracting Officer, or its authorized representative, shall at all times have access to the Work
whether it is in preparation or in progress, and the Contractor shall provide proper facilities for such access and for
inspection. The Contracting Officer reserves the right, at its option, to employ the services of a professional consultant
to evaluate any phase of the Work he may deem to be in the best interest of the College but no evaluation performed
shall in any way relieve the Contractor of its responsibilities under the contract. The Contractor shall cooperate with the
consultants and provide access to the Work and facilities for inspection. Should any portion of the Work or material be
found deficient or defective, the Contractor will pay the applicable fees of such consultant and be responsible for
replacing the deficient or defective Work as required by the provisions stated elsewhere herein.
8.2.6 Any costs caused by defective or ill-timed Work shall be borne by the Contractor.
8.2.7 If the Contractor should destroy, damage or disturb the Work of any other Contractor in or about the
building or premises, the Contractor shall immediately either replace the destroyed Work and make good the damaged
and disturbed Work to the satisfaction of the Construction Manager and the Contracting Officer, or shall reimburse the
Contractor whose Work he has destroyed, damaged or disturbed for the expense of replacing such Work.
