Superintendent’s Discretion Clause Samples
The Superintendent’s Discretion clause grants the superintendent the authority to make decisions or judgments on certain matters within a contract, typically relating to construction or project management. In practice, this means the superintendent can interpret specifications, approve variations, or resolve disputes about the quality or timing of work, often after considering relevant information from both parties. The core function of this clause is to provide a clear decision-making mechanism for issues that arise during a project, helping to avoid delays and disputes by centralizing authority in a designated individual.
