PDP Process Clause Samples

The PDP Process clause defines the procedures and steps required for a Product Development Process (PDP) within an agreement. It typically outlines how new products or features are proposed, reviewed, approved, and implemented between the parties, often specifying timelines, required documentation, and decision-making authorities. By establishing a clear framework for product development collaboration, this clause ensures that both parties understand their roles and responsibilities, reducing misunderstandings and streamlining the introduction of new products or changes.
PDP Process. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has developed and implemented a Project Development Process (PDP) that includes regular communication among technical disciplines, results in quality plans and minimizes cost overruns during right-of-way acquisition and project construction. Depending on their size, complexity, and/or potential impact to the environment, ODOT transportation projects are categorized as one of five paths (Path 1– 5). The PDP consists of five phases that projects must advance through prior to construction. These phases include Planning, Preliminary Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Final Engineering and Construction. While all projects advance through these phases, project managers have the flexibility to adjust scope activities within the phases to better support decision- making. The PDP is a project management and transportation decision-making procedure that outlines project development from concept through completion. Each PDP activity is timed to facilitate informed decision making based on an appropriate level of project development and risk management. The PDP encourages communication among disciplines, requires documentation of the reasoning behind project related decisions, eliminates duplicated effort among disciplines and provides for early identification of potential issues. Involvement of all disciplines during the early stages of project development ensures that issues affecting project type, scope, development schedule and costs can be correctly evaluated and anticipated. The manual and associated tools provide guidelines to identify activities required during each phase of project development. The project scope determines the amount of work performed within the phases. Although the manual and web-based tool identifies work tasks, deliverables and potential stakeholders for each phase in the process, the process requires coordination of people and tasks between phases to ensure continued review and study of the best possible options. Communication and transition among disciplines are critical to a project’s success. By establishing communication opportunities and responsibilities throughout the PDP, the project manager ensures that those involved in the project fulfill their project commitments. The project manager for each step is responsible for ensuring appropriate coordination and involvement of other disciplines throughout the process.

  • Change Order Process 12.2.1 Contractor shall provide Notice to Owner as soon as practicable, but no later than five (5) Business Days, after the time when Contractor knows of the impact of any Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order that will impact the Work. Failure to provide such Notice within ten (10) Business Days after the time when Contractor knows of the impact of any Force Majeure Event shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Contractor’s right to receive a Change Order with respect thereto. Such Notice shall, to the extent practicable, specify the estimated impact on the Target Price and/or the Project Schedule, as applicable, the impact upon the various portions of the Work occasioned by reason of such Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order, and shall substantiate the foregoing to the satisfaction of Owner. In the event that Contractor does not know or is unable to specify with reasonable certainty the impact upon the Work at the time such Notice is to be delivered, Contractor shall instead provide Owner with a notice of a potential or anticipated impact of any Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order that could impact the Work, and shall thereafter provide Owner (and, if requested by Owner, the Independent Engineer) with periodic supplemental Notices during the period that the Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order, as applicable, continues, detailing any developments, progress or other relevant information of which Contractor is aware. To the extent Owner (in consultation with the Independent Engineer with respect to a Material Change) agrees with the Contractor’s determination of a Force Majeure Event or Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order, as applicable, and the effects thereof, Owner shall notify Contractor of Owner’s acceptance. In the event Owner (in consultation with the Independent Engineer with respect to a Material Change) does not accept the Contractor’s findings, Owner or Contractor shall be permitted to dispute such Change Order in accordance with Article 36, and Contractor shall be paid for any Work performed in respect of such disputed Change Order as provided in Section 12.2.5. 12.2.2 As soon as practicable, and in any event within fifteen (15) Days (or such other period as is mutually agreed by Owner and Contractor) after receipt from Owner of a request for a change or Notice of Owner’s acceptance under Section 12.2.1, Contractor shall submit to Owner a proposal for implementing the change indicating the estimated change to the Target Price and/or the Project Schedule, as applicable. If Owner (having consulted with the Independent Engineer in the case of a Material Change) agrees that the Contractor’s proposal should be implemented, Owner (having consulted with the Independent Engineer in the case of a Material Change) shall issue a Change Order incorporating such proposal. Upon receiving such Change Order, Contractor shall diligently perform the change in accordance with the terms thereof. 12.2.3 Contractor’s proposal required pursuant to Section 12.2.2 shall consist of: (a) a detailed material take-off with supporting calculations in accordance with the pricing structure herein, for pricing the change, (b) revisions, if any, to the Drawings and Specifications, (c) a schedule for the work associated with the proposed change, (d) the effect, if any, to the Target Price and/or the Project Schedule, as applicable, (e) the effect, if any, of the change on the Work, including the Performance Tests and/or Demonstration Tests (or protocol therefor), (f) changes, if any, to any right, liability or obligation of a Party or any other provision hereof and (g) changes, if applicable, to any Applicable Deadline.

If the Current Service Provider, or if the End User Customer's New Service Provider orders the discontinuance of existing resold service from the Current Service Provider, Qwest will ▇▇▇▇ the Current Service Provider for service through the date the End User Customer receives resold service from the Current Service Provider. Qwest will notify CLEC by Operational Support System interface, facsimile, or by other agreed-upon processes when an End User Customer moves from the Current Service Provider to a New Service Provider. Qwest will not provide the Current Service Provider with the name of the New Service Provider selected by the End User Customer. 6.4.6 CLEC shall provide Qwest and Qwest shall provide CLEC with points of contact for order entry, problem resolution and repair of the resold services.
