Common use of Owner’s Option to Review Submittals Clause in Contracts

Owner’s Option to Review Submittals. Owner shall, in its discretion, have the right to review and approve submittals, and if Owner so elects, Design/Builder shall not perform any portion of the Work as to which Owner has required submittal and review until such Submittal has been approved by Owner’s Representative. Approval by Owner, however, shall not be evidence that Work installed pursuant thereto conforms with the requirements of the Agreement nor shall such approvals relieve Design/Builder of any of its responsibilities or warranties under the Agreement. If Owner elects to review submittals, Design/Builder shall upload into the Owners electronic project management system and maintain a Submittal log which shall include, at a minimum, the date of each Submittal, the date of any resubmittal, the date of any approval or rejection, and the reason for any approval or rejection. Design/Builder shall have the duty to perform a review of all submittals for general content and for apparent compliance with the Detailed Design before submission of same to Owner. Shop drawings and other submittals from Design/Builder do not constitute a part of the Contract, but such submittals are understood to provide further definition and specificity of materials and equipment to be incorporated into the Work; provided, however, that if Design/Builder submits shop drawings or submittals which are at variance with the Contract Documents including the Detailed Design documents approved by Owner, Design/Builder must designate such fact in writing on or with the shop drawing or submittal. Failure of the Owner to approve submittals in a timely fashion and to adhere to the schedule, shall be cause for time extensions to the Contract Time, provided Design/Builder meets the requirements of Article 16 hereof.
