A contingent contract is a legal agreement in which the terms and conditions only apply or take effect if a specific event occurs. Essentially, the parties involved agree to perform actions or obligations based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a particular event in the future.

Contingency. Often a percentage of the GMP that provides the contractor with a financial buffer to account for unforeseen and unknown conditions. Allowances. An amount set aside for known unknowns related to materials, labor, and other project costs.

This contingency is normally calculated as a percentage. If the phase is 100 days of effort, contingency at 20% would be another 20 days. As the project progresses, the level of risk reduces as the requirements and issues become known, so the percentage will be reduced.
