Common use of Design-Builder’s Responsibilities Clause in Contracts

Design-Builder’s Responsibilities. The Design-Builder also expressly acknowledges that this Project and the Work will proceed on a "fast-track" method of construction, i.e., construction will commence without final Drawings and Specifications in place. More specifically, while Drawings and Specifications are complete for certain portions of Work, the design process will continue for other portions during construction based on the Guaranteed Maximum Price premises and assumptions. The Design-Builder has been, and will continue to be, an active participant in the design process. Given such participation, the Design-Builder represents that it is familiar with the scope and quality of those aspects of the Project that have not yet been fully designed, and has taken such scope and quality matters into consideration in preparing each component of the Guaranteed Maximum Price. The Design-Builder agrees to work with the Department in managing the construction and design work to complete the design process. The Design-Builder shall manage the Project, including coordinating redesign or value engineering necessary or advisable for certain aspects of the Project at any stage of the design process in order to bring the cost of such Work within or below, but not in excess of, the respective allowances or the budgeted or allocated amounts for other items contained in the Guaranteed Maximum Price. Once the Drawings and Specifications are complete, it is recognized by the Design-Builder and the Department that the scope of the Guaranteed Maximum Price may include Work not expressly indicated on the Contract Documents, but which is reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents, and such Work shall be performed without any increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price or extension of Contract Time, except if and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
