Common use of MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES Clause in Contracts

MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES. Measurement of all Work acceptably completed will be made in accordance with the system in which the Contract is let, either U.S. Standard or International System (metric). Such measurements will be used as a basis for the computation of the quantities of Work performed. Quantities designated to be measured by linear units will be taken horizontally. Where Work is to be paid for by units of length, area, volume or mass, only the net amount of Work actually performed, as it shall appear in the finished Work and measured as hereinafter specified shall be paid for, local customs to the contrary notwithstanding. Calculation of area quantities where the computation of the areas by geometric methods would be comparatively laborious, it is stipulated and agreed that the City’s computer aided drafting system shall be used as the method of measurement.
