PLEASE NOTE: The contractor is responsible for damage caused by his actions to the walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs. The contractor whose work causes damage is responsible for patching to match original construction, fire rating, and finish.

Where existing electrical systems are in areas that conflict with new equipment, piping, or ductwork to be installed, the contractor shall either arrange new equipment, conduit, or ductwork in such a fashion that it does not conflict with existing systems, or rework existing electrical systems to allow for installation of new equipment, piping, or ductwork.

Additionally, the contractor shall obtain approval from the COR before turning off the power to equipment, systems, panels, etc. affected by the installation of new devices. Thus, the contractor shall coordinate all outages with the COR.

The contractor shall verify accessibility to the area of his/her work and shall notify the COR prior to if other utilities are required to be removed or relocated to allow access to his/her area of work.

Where existing electrical systems are in areas that conflict with new equipment, piping, or ductwork to be installed, the contractor shall either arrange new equipment, conduit, or ductwork in such a fashion that it does not conflict with existing systems, or rework existing electrical systems to allow for installation of new equipment, piping, or ductwork.

Contractor shall be responsible for all openings required in walls. All openings shall be repaired to match existing by a qualified contractor at the expense of this contractor. All conduits through walls shall be grouted or sealed into openings.

Devices within or adjacent to the path of construction shall be protected in place. Devices that must be removed shall be tested prior to removal, protected from damage, and re-installed in its original location.
