DESIGN WITHIN FUNDING LIMITATIONS.
(APR 1984)
(a) The Contractor shall accomplish the design services
required under this contract so as to permit the award of a contract, using standard
Federal Acquisition Regulation procedures for the construction of the facilities
designed at a price that does not exceed the estimated construction contract price
as set forth in paragraph (c) below. When bids or proposals for the construction
contract are received that exceed the estimated price, the contractor shall perform
such redesign and other services as are necessary to permit contract award within
the funding limitation. These additional services shall be performed at no increase
in the price of this contract. However, the Contractor shall not be required to
perform such additional services at no cost to the Government if the unfavorable
bids or proposals are the result of conditions beyond its reasonable control.
(b) The Contractor will promptly advise the Contracting Officer if it finds
that the project being designed will exceed or is likely to exceed the funding
limitations and it is unable to design a usable facility within these limitations.
Upon receipt of such information, the Contracting Officer will review the
Contractor's revised estimate of construction cost. The Government may, if it
determines that the estimated construction contract price set forth in this
contract is so low that award of a construction contract not in excess of such
estimate is improbable, authorize a change in scope or materials as required to
reduce the estimated construction costs to an amount within the estimated
construction contract price set forth in paragraph (c) below, or the Government
may adjust such estimated construction contract price. When bids or proposals are
not solicited or are unreasonably delayed, the Government shall prepare an
estimate of constructing the design submitted and such estimate shall be used in
lieu of bids or proposals to determine compliance with the funding limitation.
(c) The estimated construction contract price for the project described in

this contract is $
