Thank you mike,

I will get back after refering ICA 1872. Yes, the project is in India but funded by world bank (GCC based on FIDIC harmonised;).

Hi Satish

The starting point is that the Contractor did not have to sign the contract.

If the utilities had been on private land then the landowner would have to deal with the SU's

The fact that it is the Government land makes no difference.

I doubt if the SU's will deal directly with the contractor but you have to make contact to see if they will.

If they will not deal with you then you may be in an impossible situation.

Is the project in India?

If so the India Contract Act 1872 deals with impossibilities in contracts which may be of benefit because it over rules unfair contract conditions.

Please reply if you need any follow up.

Best regards

Mike Testro
