approval by the City within 120 days of the date the Design Development Documents are finally approved by the City. During the one hundred eighty day Construction Document period, the Seller's Architect will meet with the City and the Court Officials to gather additional information and input necessary for completion of the Construction Documents. The City shall consult with the Court Officials before granting approval. The review shall be limited to appropriateness, practicality, compliance with programmatic requirements, spatial adjacencies, and general building concepts. The Seller's Architect will submit the Construction Documents at 60% completion and 90% completion to the City and to the Court Officials for review. The City shall have fifteen days from receipt within which to review and resolve all issues related to the Construction Documents for each portion submitted to them. The Seller's Architect will submit 90% Construction Documents for building permit review by the City Department of Permits and Inspections within 150 days of the date the Design Development Documents are finally approved by the City. Upon 100% completion, the Construction Documents shall be subject to final approval by the City, acting through the City Manager or his designee. Said final approval shall be in writing received by Seller not later than fifteen days after receipt by the City of the final Construction Documents. The City shall not unreasonably deny, withhold or condition such approval. If the City does not grant approval, it shall state the specific grounds for disapproval, and Seller shall then have thirty days to cure or correct the final Construction Documents. However, such time period may be extended if Seller is reasonably and diligently pursuing a cure. Review and approval of the Construction Documents by the City shall not relieve the Seller or Seller's Architect of any or obligation required of them by this Agreement or by applicable law, including without limitation the preparation of complete and coordinated Construction Documents and conformance with the applicable standard of professional care. The Construction Documents shall include, without limitation, descriptions or schedules of all, fittings, HV AC systems, electrical systems, fire suppression systems, communications and data cabling systems, records storage systems, elevators, signage, intercom and other internal and external communications cabling systems, security systems, lighting systems, and other permanently attached items. The intent of this section is to require the preparation of Construction Documents in sufficient detail for the parties to know and to agree to exactly what will be constructed by Seller, including (where applicable) the minimum acceptable standards of quality, so as to make the finished courthouse a "turnkey" project when equipped with the furniture, fixtures and equipment. Fixtures and equipment to be provided by Seller shall generally include only items permanently attached to the structure. Fixtures and equipment that shall not be the responsibility of the Seller, and that shall be the responsibility of the City, include such items as computers, computer servers and racks, telephone equipment and racks, printers, copiers, fax machines, microfilm and microfiche readers, shredders and other associated office operating equipment that is not normally classified as "furniture." All aspects of the Construction Documents shall require a level of quality and dignity commensurate with use of the Property as a courthouse of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
