Technical Clarifications and Interpretations Clause Samples

The Technical Clarifications and Interpretations clause establishes a process for resolving ambiguities or uncertainties in the technical aspects of a contract. When questions arise regarding specifications, standards, or requirements, this clause typically designates a party—often the project manager or engineer—to provide authoritative explanations or decisions. For example, if there is confusion about the meaning of a technical drawing or the application of a standard, the designated party will issue a clarification that becomes binding for both sides. This clause ensures that technical disputes are addressed promptly and consistently, minimizing delays and misunderstandings during project execution.
Technical Clarifications and Interpretations. 9.3.1 The City shall issue, with reasonable promptness, such written clarifications or interpretations of the Contract Documents as it may determine necessary, which shall be consistent with or reasonably inferable from the overall intent of the Contract Documents. Should the Contractor fail to request interpretation of questionable items in the Contract Documents, the City shall not entertain any excuse for failure to execute the Work in a satisfactory manner. 9.3.2 The City shall interpret and decide matters concerning performance under the requirements of the Contract Documents, and shall make decisions on all claims, disputes or other matters in question. Written notice of each claim, dispute or other matter will be delivered by claimant to the other Party but in no event later than five (5) days after the occurrence of event, and written supporting date will be submitted to the other Party within five (5) days after such occurrence. All written decisions of the City on any claim or dispute will be final and binding.
