Common use of Alternative Approaches Clause in Contracts

Alternative Approaches. For all performance standards which have annual performance requirements, the City will allow alternative approaches to satisfying the goals of those requirements. The Concessionaire will provide the City with the details and the implementation schedule for the proposed alternative approach for the City’s review and approval. The annual activity level of the proposed alternative approach will not be less than that stated as a performance requirement. The City will not unreasonably withhold approval of the proposed alternative approach. Ancillary requirements and associated operational liquidated damages may have to be redefined based upon the alternative approaches. As an example, in the Water Supply section, the Concessionaire may propose to perform a leak survey of the entire distribution system initially to enjoy economies of scale and to identify and repair larger leaks sooner to reduce production costs. The City and the Concessionaire will mutually develop the associated repair and operational liquidated damages aspects of the alternative approach.
