SUBMISSION OF DESIGNS AND INFORMATION TO THE AUTHORITY Sample Clauses

SUBMISSION OF DESIGNS AND INFORMATION TO THE AUTHORITY. (a) Although PPP Co. is responsible for the design development, the Authority knows its own service requirement and the means by which it has been delivered in the past and this should not be lost to the development process. Consultation with the Authority and subsequent adoption of any comment made by the Authority must, however, remain firmly at PPP Co.’s risk. PPP Co. and its Funders should accept that it is not in the Authority’s interests to watch without comment as a design is developed and implemented which it knows will not be able to deliver the Service. The procedure for submitting and commenting on design issues should be capable of giving all parties the reassurance they need. (b) The Project Agreement should therefore set out a mechanism for: ◆ PPP Co. to submit designs and information to the Authority and its representatives. Such designs should be in a package and format and submitted to a timetable to be agreed between the Parties; ◆ PPP Co. to submit minor design changes which do not have any impact on cost or the Service and which the Authority can accept without the change in Service mechanism having to be implemented; ◆ the Authority to comment (if it wishes) on such submissions within an agreed time period; and ◆ the discussion of and, if appropriate, adoption by PPP Co. of any comments by the Authority.
