Common use of Cost Efficiency Clause in Contracts

Cost Efficiency. Jurisdictions may identify, in Sub-Geographic Operating Plans, conditions under which cost efficiency may dictate where suppression strategies and tactical actions are taken (i.e., it may be more cost effective to put the containment line along an open grassland than along a mid-slope in timber). Points to consider include loss and benefit to land, values at risk, resource, social and political values, and existing legal statutes.
