Common use of Authorization of Work Clause in Contracts

Authorization of Work. 3.4.1. The Pre-GMP Phase Work shall commence upon Judicial Council’s issuance of a Notice to Proceed. Upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed, Design Build Entity shall perform Schematic Design Work and Design Development Work to design the Project consistent with the Target GMP. After Design Build Entity completes the Schematic Design Documents, and upon Judicial Council’s Acceptance of Schematic Design Documents, Design Build Entity shall prepare Design Development Documents. 3.4.2. After Judicial Council’s Acceptance of Design Development Documents, Judicial Council may issue written authorization to Design Build Entity to procure Subcontractors and prepare and submit a GMP to Judicial Council consistent with the requirements of the Contract Documents. If the Judicial Council Accepts the GMP, and the GMP is at or below the Target GMP, then Judicial Council will seek the Department of Finance’s approval of the GMP (if Department of Finance approval is required). If Department of Finance approval of the GMP is required, such approval shall be a condition precedent to the Parties’ execution of an Amendment to include the GMP. If the Parties agree to a GMP consistent with requirements of the Contract Documents, the Parties will execute an Amendment to establish the GMP for the Post-GMP Phase Work. After the GMP is included in the Agreement, adjustments to the GMP shall only be permitted by Change Order. 3.4.3. If the proposed GMP exceeds the Target GMP, then Judicial Council may direct Design Build Entity to adjust the GMP and/or redesign or value engineer the Project consistent with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Any Work (including redesign or value engineering) performed by Design Build Entity to equalize the proposed GMP with the Target GMP shall be performed at Design Build Entity’s sole cost and expense. Alternatively, Judicial Council may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate the Agreement for convenience. 3.4.4. Subject to any other condition of these Contract Documents, the Parties may execute an Amendment that replaces the Target GMP with the GMP Accepted by Judicial Council. After the Parties execute the Amendment, Judicial Council will issue a Notice to Proceed for Post-GMP Phase Work. 3.4.5. During Design Build Entity’s performance of Working Drawings Work, Judicial Council may authorize the performance of Construction Work prior to Judicial Council’s Acceptance of Construction Drawings and final Specifications for those portions of the Construction Work for which final Working Drawings and Technical Specification have received all necessary approval from Authorities Having Jurisdiction. Design Build Entity shall not, however, perform any Construction Work until it receives prior written authorization from Judicial Council Representative.
