SCALING SPECIFICATIONS Sample Clauses
The SCALING SPECIFICATIONS clause defines how certain quantities, measurements, or requirements in a contract may be adjusted based on specific factors or changing circumstances. Typically, this clause outlines the parameters or formulas for increasing or decreasing deliverables, pricing, or performance standards in response to variables such as project scope, demand, or resource availability. Its core practical function is to provide a clear and agreed-upon method for adapting contractual obligations, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring both parties can respond flexibly to changes during the contract term.
SCALING SPECIFICATIONS. The forest products made and all timber removed by reason of this sale shall be scaled by a recognized independent "third party" scaling organization agreeable to the STATE. Logs will be scaled as presented and results of said scales shall be conclusive and binding upon the PURCHASER and the STATE unless otherwise contested through check scale procedures. Procedures required by the STATE for implementation of "third party" scale shall be as follows:
A. Logs shall be scaled using the Revised ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Decimal C Log Rule, making allowances for visible defect in accordance with the scaling practices contained in the latest National Forest Log Scaling Handbook (Chapters 20 and 30).
B. Payment for scaling and reporting services performed by the scaling organization shall be made by the PURCHASER of State Forest timber, and the STATE assumes no responsibility in this regard. If more than one scaling bureau is used, data shall be transmitted to a single scaling bureau designated by the STATE for a single point-source for all reports. All expenses associated with this shall be paid by the Purchaser. The use of a STATE approved third party log and load reporting service (LLRS) is required. PURCHASER shall ensure that log volume measurement data is received by the LLRS within one business day of logs being measured. All expenses associated with this service shall be paid by the PURCHASER. Prior to scaling STATE logs, the STATE will provide the scaling organization with a scaler information sheet. The PURCHASER shall insure that all third party scalers who scale STATE logs delivered from this sale are knowledgeable about contract specifications governing scaling requirements under this Agreement.
C. All loads must be scaled at the first unloading point and within three working days from the date of removal from the State Forest.
D. The scaling organization or the PURCHASER shall notify the State Forest Manager or the Manager's representative of all scaler rotations of one month or more so that the STATE may obtain adequate check scales.
E. Organization scalers shall be required to make a copy of the scale tickets available to the STATE on those loads being check scaled by the STATE.
F. Organization scalers shall perform the following services:
1) Record log species, diameter, length, and amount of defect on the scale tickets and forward such information to the scaling organization on the day of scaling.
2) Scale all logs in a load at the same location and time.
3) Ide...

Logs or pieces presented for scaling measuring less than the minimum contract specifications that have not been bucked from products meeting the minimum contract specifications shall be scaled as though such bucking had been done, in accordance with the appropriate log Scaling Handbook.
