B. Please note that the sole responsibility of ensuring that the design submittals comply with contract documents remains with the Contractor, in accordance with all the contract documents and design criteria referenced therein. The Government retains the right to comment on the design at any design stage, and the lack of Government comments at a given review cannot be used as a basis for the Contractor to fail to address the Government's comments on subsequent reviews, regardless of design stage. Furthermore, approval of incomplete designs will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error that may exist, and which may require rework or other appropriate adjustment to the contract terms, as determined at the sole discretion of the Government.

C. Government review, clearance for construction, or approval by the Contracting Officer shall not relieve the Design-Build Contractor from responsibility for any errors or omissions in such drawings, nor from responsibility for complying with the requirements of this contract.
