When Work requires closing of an area normally used by the <br /> Owner or the public, the Contractor shall furnish, erect, and maintain temporary barricades, and <br /> properly light the area. The Contractor shall comply with any directions and public authorities in <br /> this respect. <br /> 7.20 The Contractor shall designate a responsible officer or employee as safety inspector, <br /> whose duties shall include accident prevention on the Project as well as implementation of the <br /> Contractor's safety measures and safety programs on the Project. The name of the safety <br /> inspector shall be made known to the Designer and the Owner at the preconstruction <br /> conference. <br /> 7.21 In emergencies affecting the safety of persons, the Work, or property at the Project site or <br /> adjacent thereto, the Contractor is obligated to act in the Contractor's discretion to prevent <br /> threatened damage, injury, or loss. As soon as practicable, the Contractor shall notify the <br /> Designer and Owner of such emergency. The Contractor shall give the Designer and the Owner <br /> prompt written notice of any significant changes in the Work or deviations from the Contract <br /> Documents caused by such emergency. If the Contractor believes that additional work done in <br /> an emergency entitles the Contractor to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the <br /> Contract Time, the Contractor may make a claim therefore as provided in Articles 14 or 15. <br /> 7.22 The Contractor shall at all times keep the premises free from accumulation of waste <br /> materials or rubbish caused by the Work. At least weekly and at the completion of the Work, the <br /> Contractor shall remove all waste materials and rubbish from and about the Project. At the <br /> completion of the Work, the Contractor shall remove all tools, construction equipment, <br /> machinery, and surplus materials. The Contractor shall leave the Work in condition for <br /> occupancy by the Owner such that no cleaning or other operations are required. Material <br /> cleared from the Project and deposited on adjacent property shall not be considered as having <br /> been disposed of satisfactorily. If the Contractor fails to keep the Project clean of waste <br /> materials or rubbish, fails to satisfactorily clean-up weekly or at the completion of the Work, the <br /> Owner may do so and the costs thereof may be deducted from any amounts due the Contractor. <br /> 7.23 Utilities, temporary facilities, and signs shall be provided as described in the Contract <br /> Documents. Absent a contrary direction in the Supplementary Conditions, the Contractor shall <br /> pay all bills for water, electricity, or other public utility service to the Project site. <br /> 7.24 The Contractor shall indemnify and hold the Owner, the Designer, the Designer's <br /> consultants, and their officers, agents, and employees harmless against all costs, damages, and <br /> expenses, including attorney's fees and costs of defense, arising out of claims by any separate <br /> contractor or by any Subcontractor, sub-subcontractor, or supplier engaged by or employed by <br /> the Contractor or employed by any of the Subcontractors claiming through him, including <br /> without limitation damages, losses, and expenses arising out of or relating to any <br /> inconvenience, delay, interference, or other action or non-action of the Contractor or the <br /> Contractor's Subcontractors on the Project. <br /> Revised NETPLANNER v2 <br />
