note to everybody, but esp. to Norbert: I would translate this sentence as follows: \"The contractor is also responsable for damage caused to services proveded by others (third party, I reckon), whom he represents, and has to replace them to the mentioned companies\".

  -> thank you!

disagree  Klaus Herrmann: 'die er zu vertreten hat' refers to the damages not to the 'anderer'. //Added: the verb is not vertreten, but "zu vertreten haben", i.e. to be responsible for something.
28 mins
  -> wie kann man Schaden vertreten? Man ist, eventuell, für Schaden verantwortlich. Der Auftragnehmer vertritt diese Dritten, und ist indirekt verantwortlich für die Schäden, was nun eine andere Situation ist

disagree  silvia glatzhofer: he is responsible for the damage
