Common use of RFIs Clause in Contracts

RFIs. During the course of construction, Architect must respond to all Requests for Information (“RFI”) as expeditiously as possible so as not to impact and delay the construction progress. In no case shall Architect’s review period associated with a RFI exceed seven (7) Days, unless the complexity of the RFI warrants a longer time period for review as reasonably agreed to by District in writing in its sole discretion. Architect’s response to each RFI shall be a substantive and acceptable response. This 7-day time period includes time when a submittal is within the control of Architect’s Consultants. This 7-day time period shall not include time when a submittal is within District’s control or if the submittal is being reviewed by DSA. In no way does this provision reduce Architect’s liability if it fails to prepare acceptable documents. Architect shall be solely responsible for coordinating any response required by Consultants to provide a substantive and acceptable response. Architect shall be responsible for any delay caused by any Consultant for Consultant’s failure to timely respond.
