Common use of Design Guidelines Clause in Contracts

Design Guidelines. The School Facilities Commission’s Facility Design Standards and Guidelines (Design Guidelines) are hereby incorporated into this Agreement. The District shall ensure that the Project complies with any and all requirements in the Design Guidelines. Where the Design Guidelines are not specific on the type, quantity, or quality of a design element or component, the District shall require the architect to select the most efficient and cost effective type, quantity, or quality of the element or component, subject to approval by the Department. If the District chooses to select an element or component exceeding that approved by the Department, such element or component shall be considered District-Initiated and shall not be funded out of the capital construction budget. If the Project is not covered by the Commission’s existing Design Guidelines, the District shall require the architect to work with the Department to ensure that the design is adequate, efficient and cost effective and shall utilize the Commission's existing Facility Design Standards and Guidelines in doing so to the extent those Guidelines are applicable.
