Common use of Contractual Considerations Clause in Contracts

Contractual Considerations. It is imperative that we manage our rights as well as those of our clients and industry partners as outlined in Prime Contracts and Subcontract Agreements. Should disruption of our work occur, our Contracts likely contain provisions that address unforeseen delay such as “Force Majeure” or “Delays” clauses. Force Majeure is defined as a contract provision excusing a party from performing its contractual obligations when it becomes impossible or impracticable due to an event or effect that the parties could not have anticipated or controlled when the contract was signed. Please ensure all project management staff does a review of all delay provisions outlined in their Contracts and immediately prepare for the appropriate next steps such as formal notice to our Clients. It is critical to provide protection to us as afforded under Contract in a timely and reasonable manner. Please also note that our standard Subcontracts allow for such provisions to our Subcontractors. As such, if we receive a notification from our subs it also needs to trigger the notification noted above as a flow through. As this is not standard operating practice, we encourage anyone with questions to elevate them to your supervisor or management to ensure that we get it right.
