If we read clause 58.2, the PS is instructed by engineer to contractor (a), AND nominated sub contractor (b).
That means...the contractor will coordinate the works ONLY and will be paid as per 59.4. FIDIC doesnt mention that PS has to be carried out by contractor ALONE.
So the engineer cannot instruct the contractor to do PS based on BOQ rates and hence a separate nominated sub contractor has to be appointed where the contractor takes his overheads and profit.
Am I right on these lines??

Pradeep !
You are absolutely right.
You have to substantiate with invoices/vouchers etc added up with your OH&P.
Cheers

Hi
Pradeep !
Contractor can not object to carry out works which are:
expressly required to complete the said project
affected by price escalation,unless Clause related to "Changes in Cost and Legislation" exists in Contract.
Hope,you got it.
Cheers
