A Delay caused by a utility's failure to provide service or relocate its lines(despite a timely request for such service or relocation)is an example of this kind of Delay for which neither the Contractor nor the Owner is financially responsible to the other. Mislocated utility lines or utility lines not located are another example of a Delay for which neither the Contractor nor the Owner is responsible to the other.
