Section 371.62 - Contract Documents(a) Contract documents include the documents that form the construction contracts and the documents that form the contracts for alternative methods of project delivery, which may include the construction phase or other phases of the project. (b) Unless otherwise specified by the executive administrator, an Applicant must submit at least one paper and one electronic copy of proposed contract documents, including engineering plans and specifications, which must be as detailed as would be required for submission to contractors bidding on the work. The Applicant must provide the executive administrator with all contract documents proposed for bid advertising. The executive administrator will review contract documents: (1) to ensure consistency with the approved engineering feasibility report and with approved environmental planning documents; (2) to ensure the proposed construction drawings and specifications provide adequate information so that a contractor can bid and construct the project without additional details or directions; (3) to ensure compliance with Commission rules at Title 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 290 relating to Public Drinking Water, and other applicable state and federal laws and rules; (4) to ensure the contract documents notify the contractor about the Board's authority to audit project files and inspect during construction; and (5) to ensure compliance with other requirements as provided in guidance forms and documents, including any additional documentation required by EPA for equivalency projects. (c) Other approvals. The Applicant must obtain the approval of the plans and specifications from any other local, state, and federal agencies having jurisdiction over the project. The executive administrator's approval is not an assumption of the Applicant's liability or responsibility to conform to all requirements of applicable laws relating to design, construction, operation, or performance of the project.31 Tex.
