No Subcontractor shall endanger any Work of another such Subcontractor by cutting, digging, or <br />other means, nor shall any Subcontractor cut or alter the Work of any other such Subcontractor <br />without the consent of the Project Designer and the affected Subcontractor(s). <br /> <br />19. UTILITIES, STRUCTURES, SIGNS <br /> <br />19.1. Prior to the operation of permanent systems, the CMAR will cooperate with the Owner to arrange <br />for temporary power, lighting, water, and heat to maintain space temperature above freezing, as <br />required for construction operations. Utility charges for temporary power, lighting, water, and heat <br />will be paid directly by the Owner, unless the Owner directs the CMAR to pay such charges as a <br />General Conditions expense. <br /> <br />19.2. The CMAR shall provide or arrange for as appropriate necessary and adequate apparatus and <br />facilities for water, electricity, gas, fuel, oil, sewer, and other utility services, which may be <br />required for completion of the Project. It is anticipated that the Owner will pay directly to the each <br />utility company all public utility charges for metered utilities such as water, sewer and power. <br />Nevertheless, if requested by the Owner, any permanent meters installed shall be listed in the <br />CMAR’s name until its Work is deemed substantially complete and occupied by the Owner, and <br />the Owner may hold the CMAR responsible for extended utility charges in the event completion of <br />the Project is delayed. The Owner or CMAR, as applicable, shall cooperate with one another to <br />recover actual costs of metered utilities from the responsible party should delays occur in Project <br />completion. Extended metered utility costs are in addition to the liquidated damages provided for <br />elsewhere in this Contract. <br /> <br />19.3. Any meters listed in the name of the CMAR shall be re-listed in the Owner’s name on the day <br />following completion and acceptance of the CMAR’s Work, and the Owner shall pay for services <br />used after that date. <br /> <br />19.4. The Owner shall be reimbursed for all metered utility charges after the meter is re-listed in the <br />Owner’s name and prior to completion and acceptance of the Work of all Subcontractors. <br />Reimbursement shall be made by the Subcontractor that’s Work has not been completed and <br />accepted. <br /> <br />19.5. The CMAR shall have the permanent building systems in sufficient readiness for furnishing <br />temporary climatic control at the time a building is enclosed and secured. The HVAC systems shall <br />maintain climatic control throughout the enclosed portion of the building sufficient to allow <br />completion of the interior finishes of the building. A building shall be considered enclosed and <br />secured when windows, doorways (exterior, mechanical, and electrical equipment rooms), and <br />hardware are installed; and other openings have protection, which will provide reasonable climatic <br />control. The appropriate time to start the mechanical systems and climatic condition shall be jointly <br />determined by the CMAR and the Project Designer. Use of the equipment in this manner shall in <br />no way affect the warranty requirements of the CMAR. <br /> <br />19.6. The CMAR shall coordinate the Work so that the building’s permanent power wiring distribution <br />system shall be in sufficient readiness to provide power as required by the HVAC Subcontractor <br />for temporary climatic control. <br /> <br />19.7. The CMAR shall coordinate the Work so that the building’s permanent lighting system shall be <br />ready at the time the Subcontractors begin final interior painting and other final interior finishes <br />and shall provide adequate lighting in those areas where other interior painting and finishing is <br />being performed. <br /> <br />19.8. The CMAR shall be responsible for its permanently fixed service facilities and systems in use <br />during progress of the Work. The following procedures shall be strictly adhered to: <br /> <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 5A9E3BC2-EAE1-4C35-82D9-B4D6A375FA78
