Common use of General Intent Clause in Contracts

General Intent. The purpose of Savings is to minimize the expenditure of funds for the construction of the Project on items that exceed the minimum criteria required without a corresponding benefit to the District. The District also wishes to eliminate any excess quality levels or performance criteria provided in the Construction Documents so long as such elimination does not alter the design, aesthetics, safety standards or configuration or space, and does not increase future maintenance and operation costs. The District and the Contractor shall work cooperatively with each other, in good faith, to identify appropriate opportunities to reduce the Project costs and promote Savings. There are two stages when Savings may be generated. They are (1) Value Engineering when establishing the GMP and (2) Savings generated through changes, reductions, or Subcontractor negotiations that may occur after the GMP is established. 7.1.1 Value Engineering is a review of systems so excess quality, unnecessary design elements, reconfiguration for efficiency, or other changes may be made to reduce the cost of a project. Sometimes, timing and sequences or re-use of materials that are unique to a project or area may generate savings. For example, if export soil is generated on a site which may have a substantial cost for transportation and removal could be sold to offset the costs incurred then a savings may be generated for the Project. Similarly, if concrete is ground, it may be sold for aggregate rather than as demolished construction materials. 7.1.2 Other Savings generated over the course of the Project through Subcontractor negotiations, replacement of Subcontractors, or through other means shall be calculated as part of the overall costs for the Project as part of the “Open Accounting” of the Project and shall be counted towards Project Savings.
