<br /> The Contractor is solely responsible for, and must replace and make good all loss, injury, or damage
<br />to any property including, but not limited to, landscaping, irrigation, walks, drives, structures, or
<br />utilities resulting from performance of the Work.
<br />
<br />2.24 CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR UTILITY PROPERTIES AND SERVICE
<br />
<br /> Where the Contractor’s operations could cause damage or inconvenience to telephone, fiber optic,
<br />television, electrical power, oil, gas, water, sewer, or irrigation systems, the Contractor must make
<br />all arrangements necessary for the protection of these utilities and services or any other known
<br />utilities.
<br />
<br />Notify all utility companies that are affected by the construction operation at least forty-eight (48)
<br />hours in advance. Under no circumstance expose any utility without first obtaining permission from
<br />the appropriate agency. Once permission has been granted, locate, expose, and provide temporary
<br />support for all existing underground utilities and utility poles where necessary.
<br />
<br />The Contractor and its Subcontractors will be solely and directly responsible to the owner and
<br />operators of such properties for any damage, injury, expense, loss, inconvenience, delay, suits,
<br />actions, or claims of any character brought because of any injuries or damage which may result
<br />from the construction operations under the Contract Documents.
<br />
<br />Neither the City nor its officers or agents will be responsible to the Contractor for damages as a
<br />result of the Contractor’s failure to protect property encountered in the Work.
<br />
<br />In the event of interruption to domestic water, sewer, storm drain, or other utility services as a
<br />result of accidental breakage due to construction operations, Contractor must promptly notify the
<br />owner, any required regulatory authority, and the Project Manager(s). Contractor shall also
<br />cooperate with said authority in restoration of service as promptly as possible and bear all costs of
<br />repair and any required interim measures to ensure safety. In no event will interruption of any
<br />utility service be allowed unless granted by the owner of the utility.
<br />
<br />In the event water service lines that interfere with trenching are encountered, the Contractor may,
<br />by obtaining prior approval of the water utility, cut the service, dig through, and restore the service
<br />with similar and equal materials at the Contractor’s expense and as approved by the Project
<br />Manager(s).
<br />
<br />The Contractor shall replace with material approved by the Project Manager(s) or Consultant, at
<br />Contractor’s expense, any and all other laterals, existing utilities or structures removed or damaged
<br />during construction, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents and as approved by
<br />the Project Manager(s) or Consultant.
<br />
<br />The Contractor shall replace with material approved by the Project Manager or Consultant, at
<br />Contractor’s expense, any existing utilities damaged during the Work.
