Common use of PARTNERING MEETINGS Clause in Contracts

PARTNERING MEETINGS. The Authority and the Facility Owner agree that, as a general principle, the Parties shall identify and engage in measures to prevent and resolve potential sources of conflict before they escalate into disputes through a process involving partnering, collaboration and cooperation, which shall attempt to identify and resolve potential disputes without resort to formal legal process. Such process shall include establishing for each phase of the HSR Project impacting Facilities a hierarchy of individuals within each Party’s organization to whom issues may be addressed as they arise in order to resolve such issues before they are elevated to the next level in the hierarchy, and periodic meetings at the request of either Party to review the ongoing status of the HSR Project and the Facility Work as detailed in Attachment 1 to this Agreement.
