The Contractor may utilize the services of specialty subcontractors on those parts of the Work which, under normal contracting practices, are performed by specialty subcontractors.

The Contractor shall not subcontract the complete Work, or more than 50% of any portion of the Work unless the Work in question is to be performed by a specialty subcontractor, or any major portion thereof, and shall not award any Work to any subcontractor without prior written approval by the Owner, which approval will not be given until the Contractor submits to the Owner, a written statement concerning the proposed award to the subcontractor, which statement shall contain such information as the Owner may require.

The Contractor shall be as fully responsible to the Owner for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors, and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by them, as the Contractor is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by it.

The Contractor shall cause appropriate provisions to be inserted in all subcontracts relative to the Work to bind subcontractors to the Contractor by the terms of the

Contract Documents insofar as applicable to the Work of subcontractors and to give the Contractor the same power in regard to terminating any subcontract that the

Owner may exercise over the Contractor under any provisions of the Contract

Documents.

The Contractor will indemnify and save the Owner or the Owner's agents harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful demands of subcontractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics and furnishers of machinery and parts thereof, equipment, tools, and all supplies, incurred in the furtherance of the performance of the Work.

Nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall create any contractual relation between any subcontractor and the Owner. Subcontractors are required to have a current Georgia Utility Contractor’s License.
