After Design-Builder has submitted a fully documented Claim that <br />complies with Article 10, Owner shall respond, in writing, to Design-Builder within sixty (60) days <br />from the date the fully documented Claim is received with a decision regarding the Claim. The <br />Claim shall be deemed denied upon the 61st day following receipt of the Claim by Owner.
