Buenas tardes,
El párrafo a continuación es parte de la cláusula relacionada con los vicios ocultos y redhibitorios (latent/redhibitory defects) de un contrato:
El Contratista se obliga para con El Contratante a rendir una garantía contra vicios ocultos y redhibitorios con el fin de evitar defectos ocultos en la obra ejecutada objeto de este Contrato, obligándose a responder por cualquier desperfecto o anomalía siempre que éstas se deban o sean a consecuencia de no haber empleado materiales de la clase y calidad indicados en las especificaciones técnicas y/u originadas por su defectuosa construcción.
Quizas por el contexto sea conveniente utilizar el verbo "bind"
"... to prevent any hidden defect in executed Works, purpose of this Contract, bound to remedy any defective..."

the Contractor hereby undertakes to be liable
The original Spanish is one long sentence. I would break it up into two sentences.
Example:
... to ensure there are no hidden defects in the work [project? work to be carried out?] covered by this Contract. Furthermore, the Contractor hereby undertakes to be liable for any defects or deficiencies ...

Actually, I would change it to:
Furthermore, the Contractor hereby accepts liability for any defects or deficiencies ...
Sadly, I can't edit my suggestion.
