Common use of REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE PROCESS Clause in Contracts

REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE PROCESS. The Project Manager shall check shop drawings and within forty-five (45) days of receipt return them to the Contractor unless otherwise agreed between the Contractor and the Department. Submittals required for work to be installed within the first sixty days after the notice to proceed shall be returned by the Project Manager within twenty (20) days. If the volume of shop drawings submitted at any time for review is unusually large, the Contractor may inform the Project Manager of its preferred order for review and the Project Manager shall use reasonable efforts to accommodate the Contractor’s priorities. 5.5.5.1 The acceptance by the Project Manager of the Contractor’s submittal relates only to their sufficiency and compliance with the intention of the contract. Acceptance by the Project Manager of the Contractor’s submittal does not relieve the Contractor of any responsibility for accuracy of dimensions, details, and proper fit, and for agreement and conformity of submittal with the Contract Drawings and Specifications. Nor will the Project Manager’s acceptance relieve the Contractor of responsibility for variance from the Contract Documents unless the Contractor, at the time of submittal, has provided notice and identification of such variances required by this section. Acceptance of a variance shall not justify a contract price or time adjustment unless the Contractor requests such an adjustment at the time of submittal and the adjustment are explicitly agreed to in writing by the Department. Any such request shall include price details and proposed scheduling modifications. Acceptance of a variance is subject to all contract terms, stipulations and covenants, and is without prejudice to any and all rights under the surety bond. 5.5.5.2 If the Project Manager returns a submittal to the Contractor that has been rejected, the Contractor, so as not to delay the work, shall promptly make a resubmittal conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents and indicating in writing on the transmittal and the subject submittal what portions of the resubmittal has been altered in order to meet the acceptance of the Project Manager. Any other differences between the resubmittal and the prior submittal shall also be specifically described in the transmittal. 5.5.5.3 No mark or notation made by the Project Manager or Consultant(s) on or accompanying the return of any submittal to the Contractor shall be considered a request or order for a change in work. If the Contractor believes any such mark or notation constitutes a request for a change in the work for which it is entitled to an adjustment in contract price and/or time, the Contractor must follow the same procedures established in Section 4.2, CHANGES for oral orders, directions, instructions, interpretations or determinations from the Project Manager or else lose its right to claim for an adjustment.
