Permitting Authorities - Design Changes Sample Clauses
The 'Permitting Authorities - Design Changes' clause defines how modifications to a project's design are managed when required by regulatory or permitting authorities. It typically stipulates that if a government or regulatory body mandates changes to the approved design, the parties must adjust the project plans accordingly, often outlining procedures for notification, documentation, and potential adjustments to the project schedule or costs. This clause ensures that the project remains compliant with all legal and regulatory requirements, while also providing a clear process for handling such externally imposed changes, thereby minimizing disputes and delays.
Permitting Authorities - Design Changes. If permitting authorities require design changes so as to comply with published design criteria and/or current engineering practice standards which the ENGINEER should have been aware of at the time this AGREEMENT was executed, the ENGINEER shall revise plans and specifications, as required, at its own cost and expense. However, if design changes are required due to the changes in the permitting authorities' published design criteria and/or practice standards criteria which are published after the date of this AGREEMENT which the ENGINEER could not have been reasonably aware of, the ENGINEER shall notify the CITY of such changes and an adjustment in compensation will be made through an amendment to this AGREEMENT.
