Start-Up and Commissioning Clause Samples

The Start-Up and Commissioning clause defines the procedures and responsibilities for initiating and testing a new system, facility, or equipment to ensure it operates as intended. Typically, this clause outlines the steps for initial operation, performance verification, and the roles of both the contractor and the client during these phases. For example, it may specify timelines for testing, required documentation, and criteria for successful commissioning. Its core function is to ensure that the delivered project meets agreed-upon standards and is fully operational before final acceptance, thereby reducing the risk of defects or operational failures after handover.

(iii) The residual Decommissioning costs, resulting from the calculations under sub-paragraph 4.14(d)(i) and (ii), shall then be discounted to the Calendar Year in question at the forecast rate of Uplift for each Calendar Year remaining until the Calendar Year of Decommissioning. (iv) The discounted total of residual Decommissioning costs shall then be divided by the total number of Calendar Years remaining prior to the Calendar Year of Decommissioning itself, including the Calendar Year in question. (v) The resultant amount shall be the addition to the Decommissioning Costs Reserve for the Calendar Year in question. (vi) It is the intention of this provision that the total accumulated provision allowed, including interest calculated to the Calendar Year of Decommissioning at the rate of Uplift, will equal the total Decommissioning costs. (vii) If the amount in sub-paragraph 4.14(d)(v) is a negative amount, then such amount shall be treated as a reduction of Recoverable Costs for the Calendar Year in question.
