Clause 16.4

The Supervisor — Incentives

Purpose

If the Contract Data specifies incentives, the Supervisor administers them in accordance with the stated criteria and timing.

Practical Application

Incentive provisions may reward early defect resolution or superior quality. The criteria must be objectively measurable and stated in the Contract Data.

Common Pitfalls

Subjectively worded incentive criteria lead to disputes over entitlement. Ensure criteria are clearly defined and measurable before contract signature.
