Under NEC4 option C contract, we submitted a contractors proposal to use considerably less binder underneath new paving, as the existing binder was at a good enough quality, we just had to apply a small layer of binder on top. We submitted this is as a contractors proposal which the client accepted. As we (main contractor) submitted the contractors proposal and client agreed, am I right to believe this is not a negative CE, and instead the saving would be a pain/gain share, to the rates agreed in the main contract.
