Common use of Construction Document Change Order Clause in Contracts

Construction Document Change Order. Upon completion of complete Construction Documents consistent with the Using Agency’s Program and compliant with the assumptions stated in the GMP Change Order by the Design Professional and approval thereof by the Owner, the Design Professional shall submit them to the CM/GC along with a proposed Construction Document Change Order for acceptance first by CM/GC and then by Owner for the purpose of adding such approved Construction Documents to this Contract. CM/GC shall promptly accept or reject any such proposed Construction Document Change Order, but in any event within thirty (30) days of its receipt. If CM/GC accepts the proposed Construction Document Change Order, then the Owner shall likewise accept same promptly and in any event within seven (7) business days of CM/GC's acceptance. CM/GC’s Final Construction Documents Coordination Review. Prior to its acceptance of the Construction Document Change Order, CM/GC shall promptly conduct a final review of the Construction Documents referenced therein for the purposes of recommending to the Owner and the Design Professional any changes or modifications thereof that will reduce the cost of the Project without reducing quality, or will expedite its completion, or that, in the judgment of the CM/GC, may otherwise be in the best interest of the Owner. However, the Owner shall not be required to accept any such recommendations. The CM/GC shall also give notice to the Owner and to the Design Professional of any errors, inconsistencies, or omissions (including non-conformance with applicable laws, statutes, building codes, rules and regulations) it may discover in the Construction Documents prior to acceptance of the proposed Construction Document Change Order. This review function being a part of the Basic Services, the CM/GC will receive no additional payments or compensation for its review and recommendations. After acceptance of the Construction Document Change Order, CM/GC shall be entitled to additional compensation pursuant to Section 3, Part 3 for changes in the work that result from coordination, errors or omissions in the documents, changes due to unforeseen conditions at the site, or changes required by governmental regulatory agencies. CM/GC shall not, however, be liable for any damages resulting from the failure of the Construction Documents to comply with said laws, statutes, building codes, rules, and regulations unless it recognizes same and performs a construction activity knowing it is contrary to same without providing advance written notice of same to the Owner. CM/GC shall also give notice of any inconsistencies, conflicts, or omissions between said Construction Documents and either (i) the Program and revisions thereto by prior Construction Document Change Orders or (ii) the assumptions set forth in the GMP Change Order that were relied upon by CM/GC in the preparation of the GMP Change Order, including observed inconsistencies, conflicts or omissions between the Construction Documents and any proposed design development of such assumptions.
