Competition Regulations

16. Agreement between the Sponsor and the Selected Memorial Designer

Upon selection by the Stage II Jury and adoption of the selection by the Sponsor, the author(s) of the winning Memorial Design will be invited to negotiate a contract with the National Park Service to provide professional services to implement the design selected through the Competition Process. The National Park Service will manage the development of final design and construction drawings, as well as the construction, of the World War I Memorial. The Sponsor will remain involved throughout the process. Since the Design Competition results will be used to solicit and allocate capital improvement funds, and design and construction may be phased as funds become available, the Sponsor reserves the right to request modification in the program or design prior to detailed design and construction documentation. The Sponsor also reserves the right to request design modifications based on directives from design reviewing agencies and for budgetary considerations. At any time, the Sponsor reserves the right not to proceed with the project.
