Common use of Deferred Approvals Clause in Contracts

Deferred Approvals. Items requiring "Deferred Approval" are noted in the Plans and Specifications. Contractor shall submit complete design documents and calculations to the Architect and its consultants. The Contractor is responsible for prompt submission of these Deferred Approval submittals to the Architect and for making any changes, as required by DSA, at no additional costs to the Owner, and prior to incorporation of the product or system into the Work. Approval of these items is contingent upon approval by DSA. Deferred Approval submittals shall be submitted as described herein: A. Submit complete drawings, details, specifications, calculations and other information necessary to fully describe and substantiate the submittal, signed and stamped by a Structural Engineer licensed in the State of California. B. Deferred Approval items will be checked for general design concept conformance only and will be submitted to the Division of the State Architect for review. If necessary, submittals will be returned to the Contractor for corrections and/or additional information, as required by DSA. The Contractor shall make necessary changes and resubmit for additional review. C. The Architect and Engineer will review the submittal one time only and will not perform extensive calculations nor prepare drawings required for DSA. If the Contractor fails to provide proper information for approval or the Architect or Engineer is required to perform additional duties, such services will be reimbursed by the Owner and back-charged to the Contractor. D. Do not proceed with fabrication until deferred approval documents have been approved by DSA.
