übernehmen

German to English Law/Patents Construction / Civil Engineering
Hi guys,

Hopefully you can provide some nice proposals for "übernehmen" in this context. Struggling to find something suitable. See sentence below:

"Vor Beginn der Aufstellungs- bzw. Montagearbeiten hat der AUFTRAGNEHMER den Aufstellungsort mit allen für den AUFTRAGNEHMER von AUFTRAGGEBER gemäß Anhang 1 zu erstellenden Fundamenten und Anschlüssen usw. zu übernehmen, ohne dass dadurch rechtliche, den Grundstückseigentümer treffenden Verpflichtungen übertragen werden."

Thanks,

Gavin

take over operations

Provider will take over operations of/at the assembly site...
Taking responsibility is not enough. They're expected to actually run the whole site.

agree Thomas Pfann : Not just the operations but the site. The site is handed over to the contractor, the contractor takes over the site. https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Construction_site

assume or undertake (take on)

hi Gavin, I mean in the sense of "assume responsibility" or "undertake a task", what do you think, does that sound right ?

what about "assume construction of the site" ?
Peer comment(s):

disagree Steffen Walter : You cannot "assume" or "undertake" an "Aufstellungsort" (assembly/installation site).

i think you're right, if you prefer to say they will "take over" the site iso take over operating it or the responsibility for it
agree Lancashireman : Above grading somewhat harsh. Nothing wrong with 'assume' if supplemented with 'liability for' or 'occupancy of'. I think the asker is looking for something fancier than the basic 'take over'.

ty, that's what I thought as well
neutral Johannes Gleim : NoT to assume (responsibility), but to undertake works.

German term (edited): (Aufstellungsort) übernehmen

to operate or run (the site)

I reconsidered the question and think that it deals with operating or run the site, rather than to take over any property or assets. To take over the site would lead to confusion, whether this is a legal transaction of property or whether it means taking over the responsibility. The context indicates that no obligations of the property owner is assumed or are incurring. The contractor has only to hedge, to excavate and to lay the foundations at certain locations.

COSTA MESA – City officials are mulling over proposals from two groups that are vying to operate the fairgrounds if the state offloads the site into Costa Mesa’s hands.
Two weeks ago, the city offered the state $96 million in its efforts to preserve the Orange County landmark. It solicited proposals from private firms that would operate the site if the city acquired the property.
