Work Cost Estimate Clause Samples
The Work Cost Estimate clause defines the process and requirements for providing an estimated cost for the work to be performed under the contract. Typically, this clause outlines who is responsible for preparing the estimate, the level of detail required, and when the estimate must be submitted or updated. For example, a contractor may be required to submit a detailed breakdown of labor, materials, and other expenses before work begins.
