document review comments, the Lessor shall submit a 100% complete set of working drawings and
specifications for review by the Contracting Officer or designee. The Lessor shall incorporate all VA

The reviews shall be accomplished by independent professional entities selected by VA that are registered
in the appropriate fields of expertise.

criteria. The independent reviews do not take the place of code review by the Authority Having Jurisdiction

review and permitting process of the local AHJ. Further, the 100% CD review does not include any post-
review check by the independent reviewers to determine that the review comments have been
incorporated into the final design and construction of the facility. If the independent technical review
conflicts with the review by the AHJ, the more stringent requirement shall apply. If there is any question as
to which requirement shall apply, the Lessor shall request a determination from the Contracting Officer.
