Common use of Revision or Redrafting Clause in Contracts

Revision or Redrafting. It shall be the responsibility of the Design Professional to design the Project so that the lowest responsive and responsible bid will not exceed the Construction Cost Limitation. It is in the best interest of the public, and the intent of the Owner is, that the entire Project be constructed within the funds allocated in the construction budget. Notwithstanding this overriding public policy, in the event that the Design Professional finds, in its opinion, that the bid will potentially exceed the Construction Cost Limitation, the Design Professional shall immediately stop work and give written notice to the Owner, who will either revise the budget to increase the Construction Cost Limitation or direct the Design Professional to reduce the scope of the Project. If so directed by the Owner in writing, the Design Professional shall, at no additional cost to the Owner, revise or redraft any and all documents necessary for the construction award of the reduced scope Project so as to bring the Statement of Probable Construction Cost within the Construction Cost Limitation and maintain the Preliminary Design and Construction Schedule. The Design Professional shall promptly revise without additional compensation those documents that have not been previously approved by the Owner or to which the Owner has reasonable and timely stated objections.
