Russian term

участвовать в согласованиях

Russian to English Bus/Financial Architecture
Исполнитель обязуется участвовать наряду с Заказчиком в согласованиях, ведущихся под руководством Заказчика в Администрации района, муниципальных органах и других инстанциях.

From a contract to supply architectural design services...I thought that this was an unusual use of soglasovanije.

Could a native speaker let me know what is intended here?

Thanks

Can't shake off the feeling that everything is less complicated - this is about physical presence at the meetings, reviews etc. to add 2 professional cents, whenever necessary. Something along the lines of "to support the effort" and "associated expenses" might help to weasel out.
Anton Konashenok Feb 28, 2007:
The approvals (согласования) are being sought from the district administration, municipal agencies, etc., but this process is being conducted under Customer's guidance. A big customer may always nudge the bureaucrats in the right direction - through connections, bribes or just by virtue of being a big player in the municipal economy.

concurrence

This means obtaining interim approvals:-) For example, obtaining singatures of all technical specialists before the Chief Designer signs (approves) it.

BTW, this changes the idea of сопровождение, doesn't it?

This might be what you're looking for if unanimity of opinion is required (such
as for technical reasons)

it's actually about "obtaining necessary permits"

This is the process of obtaining various PERMITS from various federal and municipal bodies - ...участвовать ... в согласованиях - means literally "to participate / to take part along with the Client in the process of obtaining necessary (construction) permits.

Permits may include: - permit to build building of such and such height; - permit from geologists to use such and such site for constrcution of such and such building; permit to drill a well if needed; - permit to do excavations onsite (which, say, may include confirmation from archeologists that there is no any old artefacts around, etc.); then - when we have a building already - there will be a permit from municpal inspector on electrical, hydro, more.

It's a normal process which exists in probably every country.

The requirement in question - about Contractor.. TO PARTICIPATE ALONG WITH THE CLIENT IN THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING NECESSARY (CONSTRUCTION-RELATED) PERMITS.. could be done simply because Contractor can have more professional knowledge than Cleint in many aspects of construction thus the Contractor's participation would benefit the project.
