Interim EOT

Here's my point of view regarding your concern:

1.  Delay due to contractor's fault - no claim for EOT. The Owner may charge you penalty on the delay.

2.  Delay due to Client & late handover - contractor is entitle to claim for an EOT. In your claim documents do not forget to attach all the correspondences with reasons of the delays & the approved handover schedule of the client say Revision 0. In your claim you have to emphasize the realistic time frame if how many days, months among others you will need in order finish all the behind works base on your original contract.

3.  EOT for additional works - Basically every change order has its own schedule (timetable for procurement, construction among others). Now, before you conform with the change order to Client make sure that the schedule you have stated in the change order is adequate to finish such additional work. For the change orders that you have accepted and the completion will go beyond the construction completion of the original contract, it can be extended for a minimum time. No need to claim for an Interim EOT.

To make sure of your claims please check the contract from time to time.

Hi Ronn

When a Contractor submits a claim for EOT, lets imagine (60 days), the Engineer has to review the claim to entitle the Contractor the EOT. Sometimes the review might take considerable time, or when the effects of the delaying event has not yet ended; in which case the Engineer has the right to entitle the Contractor an Interim EOT, for example(25 days) based on acceptable information, to prevent the time for completion of the Project from being 'At Large'. Later, after proper review of EOT claim, the Engineer can increase the entitlement of EOT for the particular case, but can not reduce it (normally,,,but can depend on the type of Contract ).

In your case for EOT, I would suggest to include both the Additional works and the Delay in Handing over, although the impact of Delay in Handing over is what drives the EOT.

Dear Frnds,

I have liised the following

1. If the additional work issued by the client is related to the Original scope of works(ie The completion of Original SOW will be affected due to the Additional works), then the EOT will be issued to the Project as a whole, not only to the additional scope.
2. Regarding the concurrent delays, the contractor should be awarded with the EOT due to the cleint delay. Concurrent delay should not be a reason for the client to hide behind the contractors delay.(Various Reference books and most of the previous such incidents confirm the same). only thing , the client can argue with the Money related matters associated with the EOT, but not with the EOT.
3. As Planned Impact will be giving you the maximum EOT than with any other methods.
4. Check with your Contract Documents refering to the variations and the related notifications.

Hope the above will help you..

Dear:

The project is suffering concurrent delay and I am so surprised why you have not claimed previously when the disruption of work happened due late handing over.

Any way ur claim particulars details should concluded all the events which caused the delay considering the sit status at same time .

I can see  in delaying of handing over some area to start ur work is a prim  core of sequential delays.

The first thing you have to work on it is updated work program dated same date of a first event arisen.

For additional work u cannot claim for extra time since the works will be carried out after completion date , but see u have to submit ur time frame for such.

And you have to be so sure about one thing that Tacking over Certificate must be signed before on starting carrying out the additional works.

And I can say there is no  meaning to interim EOT since u r going to complete the works , the interim EOT will be in term of the event still affect.

Thanks

Hi Ronn,

An As-Planned impact of Additional work & Client's Delay would give the minimum EOT. 

(The Contract conditions for concurrent delay has to be reviewed to consider Client's Delay, in the analysis)
