Baseline Assessment Sample Clauses
A Baseline Assessment clause establishes the initial conditions or status of a project, asset, or process at the outset of an agreement. This typically involves documenting key metrics, performance levels, or physical conditions through inspections, reports, or data collection before any work begins. By clearly defining the starting point, the clause provides a reference for measuring future changes, progress, or compliance, thereby ensuring accountability and helping to resolve disputes about responsibility for subsequent developments.
Baseline Assessment. At Seller’s request, Company shall obtain a Phase I and/or Phase II Environmental Assessment (hereinafter defined), at Seller’s sole cost, revealing the environmental conditions of the Company-Owned Site prior to Seller’s commencement of Construction on the Company-Owned Site (“Baseline Assessment”) and, subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 7(l) (Confidentiality) of this Attachment X (Company-Owned Site), shall provide Seller with a copy of the results of the Baseline Assessment. Any Hazardous Substances (hereinafter defined) not disclosed in any Baseline Assessment and discovered on the Company-Owned Site after the Effective Date shall be presumed to be present as a result of Seller’s utilization of the Company-Owned Site during the Term, unless Seller shall prove, by clear and convincing proof, that the Hazardous Substances: (i) were present on the Company-Owned Site prior to the Term; (ii) migrated onto the Company-Owned Site as the result of the activities of a third party; or (iii) are present on the Company-Owned Site as the result of Company’s improper actions.
(i) For the purposes of this Attachment X (Company-Owned Site): (A) “Phase I Environmental Assessment” means an environmental assessment and report prepared by a qualified environmental professional reasonably acceptable to Company that meets or exceeds the minimum requirements outlined in the then current version of the American Society of Testing and Materials Standard E 1527‑00 (Standard Practice of Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process); and (B) “Phase II Environmental Assessment” means an environmental assessment and report prepared by a qualified environmental professional reasonably acceptable to Company that goes beyond the investigations of a Phase I Environmental Assessment and involves sampling and testing of the Company-Owned Site, including (1) an asbestos survey conducted according to the standards of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act protocol; (2) testing of any transformers on the Company-Owned Site for PCBs; (3) testing for lead based paints; (4) soil and groundwater sampling to measure the effect of any actual or suspected release or discharge of Hazardous Substances on the Company-Owned Site; and (5) such other sampling and testing reasonably necessary to determine the environmental condition of the Company-Owned Site.
Baseline Assessment. At Seller’s request, Company shall obtain a Phase I and/or Phase II Environmental Assessment (hereinafter defined), at Seller’s sole cost, revealing the environmental conditions of the Company-Owned Site prior to Seller’s commencement of Construction on the Company-Owned Site ("Baseline Assessment") and, subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 7(l) (Confidentiality) of this Attachment Z (Company-Owned Site), shall provide Seller with a copy of the results of the Baseline Assessment. Any Hazardous Substances (hereinafter defined) not disclosed in any Baseline Assessment and discovered on the Company-Owned Site after the Effective Date shall be presumed to be present as a result of Seller’s utilization of the Company-Owned Site during the Term, unless Seller shall prove, by clear and convincing proof, that the Hazardous Substances: (i) were present on the Company-Owned Site prior to the Term; (ii) migrated onto the Company-Owned Site as the result of the activities of a third party; or (iii) are present on the Company-Owned Site as the result of Company’s improper actions.
Baseline Assessment. QA may use the IDI® and Materials for “Baseline Assessment” purposes which is defined to include larger group assessment of intercultural competence designed to meet one or more of the following criteria: (1) take a “snapshot” of the organization as a whole or major unit(s) within the organization; (2) involves multi-layer identification of subgroup IDI® profiles; or
Baseline Assessment. Assessing existing intersection signal timing operation establishes benchmarks for validating timing improvements. Various signal and roadway parameters are necessary for achieving a valid assessment on signalized intersections. The relevant need for assessing a parameter is determined by the objective of a signal operation study. Chief among these parameters include travel time runs, intersection geometry/ lane assignments, traffic volume and classification, posted speed limits, signal timing plans, etc. As part of existing condition analysis, these along with other relevant data will be accumulated, validated and used in replicating existing operating conditions. The outcome of this calibration exercise will form a model platform that should yield a high degree of confidence that the timing plans ultimately generated for the base model will perform well under real life field conditions. This task describes the services that the Consultant will perform for the Project:
Baseline Assessment. Subject to the Treasury’s approval, the Financial Agent may conduct a baseline review of an institution to achieve a more in-depth validation of valuations and risks assessments. The baseline review may entail an on-site visit, conference calls with institution management, loan level portfolio review and/or additional data calls, as determined by the Treasury.
Baseline Assessment. One member of the research team (GH, CS) completed the following baseline assessments with participants. Further details on these measures can be found in Appendix II.
Baseline Assessment. The outcomes under this component are an increased understanding of SLM issues by policy makers, local communities and institutions as well as an enhanced delivery of SIP IR 4 on generation and dissemination of targeted knowledge and establishment and strengthening of monitoring and evaluation systems at all levels for SLM scale up. The latter will take place in all three countries. In order to achieve these outcomes, a number of major activities are to be performed. First of all, current knowledge on the bio- physical and socio-economic situation, legislation, capacity gaps, institutions and past and ongoing projects, need to be collated and based on that knowledge, relevant gaps and challenges need to be identified. The audience for these documents (one from each country and one regional analysis) will be the project participants themselves, but also stakeholders beyond the immediate reach of the project, i.e. national and regional institutions, policy makers as well as external bodies with an interest in the development of this project and its outcomes. Further research is needed in terms of trans-boundary comparisons regarding governance, up-scaling of good practices and existing innovations, local goals and objectives of communities, indigenous knowledge etc. Furthermore innovative methodologies for knowledge management (e.g. knowledge sharing, communication and outreach, innovation systems, community lead research) need to be elaborated. In the process, care should be taken that intellectual property rights and benefit sharing are properly addressed.
Baseline Assessment. The Consultant will assess collected data to characterize existing conditions, including existing sustainability and climate initiatives. The assessment will include quantitative and qualitative data for the City’s focus areas that is directly or indirectly under the City’s operational control. The Consultant prefers that data will be available at the end-use level (e.g. by building, by vehicle), relevant detailed end use characteristics will also be available (e.g. building floor area, vehicle make and model, etc.), and that at least three years of complete data records will be available. However, the City will provide information in the format that is available. Data will be summarized in charts and graphs accompanied by brief explanatory text that at minimum (subject to availability of data) defines historical performance; cross-tabulates performance by operationally meaningful units; normalizes performance to facilitate comparisons between and within operational boundaries.
Baseline Assessment. Prior to the Close of Escrow, the parties shall prepare a baseline environmental assessment of the Landfill (the "ASSESSMENT"), which Assessment shall consist of a compilation of existing reports, studies and analyses of the Landfill previously prepared by consultants/engineers of Seller and the County of Humboldt as set forth in EXHIBIT N. The parties shall bear equally the cost of the Assessment and the cost of taking any necessary aerial photographs of the Landfill Property.
Baseline Assessment. Both, through its governing structure and through its operations, the CEF maintains regular communication with public accounting reform stakeholders at all levels. A focus on embedding of the public accounting certification training has been proven especially through implementation of CEF learning activities, where the initiative was expressed from various stakeholders: accounting and internal audit practitioners in ministries of finance, line ministries, state audit offices and other public agencies, as well as academia and professional associations. ▇▇▇▇▇ visits and targeted communication with the stakeholders enabled the CEF to accurately assess the situation in the field and map the relevant and devoted actors who are able and willing to uphold efficient take-over of the training by the local training institution. A constructive communication with the MoF cabinet resulted in establishment of the Localization Working Group within the ongoing PACT level 1 project, where most relevant and dedicated stakeholders are appointed members. 8 ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇/strengthening-budget-planning-execution-and-internal-control-functions/?lang=en A vibrant partners’ management within the CEF institutional structure and culture, allowed for direct access and exchange of information with other donors and implementing parties involved in the public accounting reforms in North Macedonia (e.
