Interpretive Engineering Decisions Clause Samples
The "Interpretive Engineering Decisions" clause defines how decisions regarding the interpretation of engineering requirements, specifications, or standards are to be made within a contract or project. Typically, this clause assigns authority to a designated party—such as the project engineer, architect, or owner’s representative—to resolve ambiguities or disputes about technical documents or design intent. For example, if construction drawings are unclear or specifications conflict, the designated authority will provide binding clarifications or instructions. This clause ensures that technical uncertainties are addressed efficiently, minimizing delays and disputes by establishing a clear process for resolving interpretive questions.
Interpretive Engineering Decisions. 3.7.1 Developer may apply in writing to IFA for approvals of an interpretive engineering decision concerning the meaning, scope, interpretation and application of the Technical Provisions (an “Interpretive Engineering Decision”). IFA may issue a written approval of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s proposed Interpretive Engineering Decision (if any), may issue its own Interpretive Engineering Decision or may disapprove any Interpretive Engineering Decision Developer proposes.
3.7.2 Within fourteen (14) days after Developer applies for an Interpretive Engineering Decision, or such other time period as IFA and Developer may agree to at the time of such application, IFA shall provide its written determination including explanation of any disapproval of such application or any differing interpretation; provided that no presumption of approval or disapproval shall arise by reason of IFA’s delay in issuing its written determination. If Developer disputes IFA’s disposition of the application, such dispute shall be subject to resolution in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Procedures.
Interpretive Engineering Decisions. 36 3.9.1 Developer may apply in writing to ADOT for approvals of an 37 interpretive engineering decision concerning the meaning, scope, interpretation and 38 application of the Technical Provisions (an “Interpretive Engineering Decision”). If, 39 however, meaning, scope, interpretation or application of the Technical Provisions is 40 uncertain because of irreconcilable conflict, ambiguity or inconsistency among the 1 Contract Documents or provisions within other Contract Documents, then this 2 Section 3.9 shall not apply and, instead, the provisions of Section 1.2 shall apply.
Interpretive Engineering Decisions. 25 3.9.1 Developer may apply in writing to ADOT for approval of an interpretive 26 engineering decision concerning the meaning, scope, interpretation, and application of 27 the Technical Provisions (an “Interpretive Engineering Decision”). If, however, meaning, 28 scope, interpretation or application of the Technical Provisions is uncertain because of 29 irreconcilable conflict, ambiguity or inconsistency among the Contract Documents or 30 provisions within other Contract Documents, then this Section 3.9 shall not apply and, 31 instead, the provisions of Section 1.2 shall apply. In response to Developer’s application 32 for an Interpretive Engineering Decision, ADOT may issue a written approval of 33 Developer's proposed Interpretive Engineering Decision (if any), may issue its own 34 Interpretive Engineering Decision or may disapprove any Interpretive Engineering 35 Decision Developer proposes. No document, including any field directive, shall be valid, 36 effective or enforceable as an Interpretive Engineering Decision unless expressly 37 identified as an “Interpretive Engineering Decision” and signed by ▇▇▇▇’s Design 38 Manager, Construction Manager or Project Manager for the Project.
39 3.9.2 Within ten Business Days after Developer applies for an Interpretive 40 Engineering Decision, or such other time period as ADOT and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may agree to 1 at the time of such application, ADOT will provide its written determination including 2 explanation of any disapproval of such application or any differing interpretation. If ADOT 3 does not respond within such time period, the request shall be deemed disapproved. If
Interpretive Engineering Decisions. 3.7.1 Developer may apply in writing to IFA for approvals of an interpretive engineering decision concerning the meaning, scope, interpretation and application of the Technical Provisions (an “Interpretive Engineering Decision”). IFA may issue a written approval of Developer's proposed Interpretive Engineering Decision (if any), may issue its own Interpretive Engineering Decision or may disapprove any Interpretive Engineering Decision Developer proposes.
3.7.2 Within 14 days after Developer applies for an Interpretive Engineering Decision, or such other time period as IFA and Developer may agree to at the time of such application, IFA shall provide its written determination including explanation of any disapproval of such application or any differing interpretation; provided that no presumption of approval or disapproval shall arise by reason of IFA’s delay in issuing its written determination.

Interpretive Engineering Decisions. 1.7.1 Developer may apply in writing to Authority for approvals of an interpretive engineering decision concerning the meaning, scope, interpretation and application of the Technical Provisions (each an “Interpretive Engineering Decision”). Authority may issue a written approval of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s proposed Interpretive Engineering Decision, may issue its own Interpretive Engineering Decision, or may disapprove any Interpretive Engineering Decision that Developer proposes.
1.7.2 Developer’s request for resolution of an Interpretive Engineering Decision is a Formal Communication. Authority will respond, and in its response, will provide its written determination including explanation of any disapproval of such application or any differing interpretation. No presumption of approval or disapproval shall arise by reason of Authority’s delay in issuing its written determination. If Developer Disputes Authority’s disposition of the application, such Dispute shall be subject to resolution in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Procedures.
