Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear All

1-      The Revised Finish date is 02-02-YYYY

2-      An EoT claim submitted by the contractor on 01-01-YYYY

3-      Engineer’s letter to submit Recovery Program (FIDIC 1999) clause 8.3 & 8.6 on 03-01-YYYY (after the submission of EoT and 30 days before the revised finish date)

4-      Many of the material have not been delivered by a Third Party until the Data Date, while the Employer has sent numerous reminders.

5-      The remaining work is not possible to finish in the time from the Engineer’s letter to the Revised Finish Date even with the double of manpower and 24 x 7 operations.

6-      Data date is 01-03-YYYY

 

Q-1         Is the Engineer’s letter logical?

Q-2         what is the status of the Revised Finish Date on Data Date?

Q-3         LDs are due by the Data Date?

Hi Tanveer

You will see that I have deleted some of your answer.

Do NOT say such things in an open forum.

Final warning.

Mike Testro.

Dear Mr. Tastro

Thank you for your adised.

1- Some material is to be delivered by a local authority that has not been delivered so far even the schedule of the delivery hasn’t been sent to us.

2- Some material was supposed to provide by the Employer that hasn’t been delivered to date.

3- Some of the material hasn’t been approved by the Employer so far (to date)

4- Some of the design hasn’t approved by a local authority.

There were only 30 days left to finish the project on its revised finish date when the Engineer asked for the recovery program.

Cheers - Tanveer

Hi Tanveer

Some questions first.

Is the late delivery of third party materials:

1. The Employer's problem?

and

2. The cause of the delay?

If yes to 1 & 2 then what is the point of accelerating non critical tasks.

The Engineer is allowed to ask for a recovery programme which should include a milestone for the material delivery.

0% progress on the milestone will demonstrate a rolling delay to completion and help establish your EoT.

Best regards

Mike Testro
