Common use of Approval of Subcontracts Clause in Contracts

Approval of Subcontracts. The Team Subcontracts are not required to be approved by the Owner. Those portions of the Work that the Design/Builder does not intend to perform with the Design/Builder's own personnel shall be performed under Subcontracts. The Design/Builder shall obtain bids from Subcontractors and shall deliver such bids to the Owner. The Owner will then determine, with the advice of the Design/Builder, which bids will be accepted. The Owner may designate specific persons or entities from whom the Design/Builder has no objection and from whom the Design/Builder shall obtain bids. If a specific bidder among those whose bids are delivered by the Design/Builder to the Owner (1) is recommended to the Owner by the Design/Builder; (2) is qualified to perform that portion of the Work; and (3) has submitted a bid which conforms to the requirements of the Contract Documents, but The Owner requires that another bid be accepted, then the GMP shall be amended to adjust the GMP by the difference between the bid of the person or entity recommended to the Owner by the Design/Builder and the amount of the Subcontract actually signed with the person or entity designated by the Owner. Subcontracts shall conform to the payment procedures of this Agreement and shall not be awarded on the basis of cost plus a fee without the prior consent of the Owner. Proposed Subcontractors will be deemed accepted unless the Owner objects in writing within ten (10) days after submission by the Design/Builder.
