The Owner intends to commission one firm to provide all design and construction administration services. This firm will have the responsibility to provide these comprehensive services through the firm’s own capabilities. The new roof replacement shall be designed to the current Connecticut state building codes as required by Connecticut state law. The Owner may retain a thirdparty consultant to review design documents and perform testing and inspections. The design team is responsible for preparing and submitting all documentation required to receive state and local permits as well as any variances that may be required. This shall include, but not be limited to building permits, variances, and other approvals necessary to proceed with the construction of the project. The Architect will be reimbursed for any fees associated with filing of such permits in the event the Owner does not pay them directly. The design team is responsible for responding to the comments generated by the third-party consultant as well as any comments generated by the local building official or fire marshal.
