General Contractor
Our insured, a general contractor, was retained to construct a school using a design/build delivery system. They entered in to an agreement with a design professional to provide the design for the project. The agreement contained indemnification and hold harmless clauses, releasing them from the design professional. During construction, it was discovered that the design contained an error which resulted in the school being elevated several inches above the existing roadways. The insured made a demand under the indemnification and hold harmless provisions of the www.beazley.com design professional’s contract. Unfortunately, the design professional declared bankruptcy and the insured remained professionally liable to the project owner.
Electrical Contractor
A contractor was retained by a project owner to provide a constructability review of prepared plans and specifications, and to perform a value engineering analysis for construction of a hospital. The contractor determined from the review that the power system was undersized. The contractor recommended changes to the system which the project owner rejected due to cost. The system was undersized causing outages throughout the hospital. The hospital alleged that the contractor was responsible for the lack of power because it had failed to properly warn the owner of the consequences of an under-designed system. The contractor was held to be partially liable for failing to warn the hospital of these issues.
