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.

This is a general scenario in govt. sector in this part of the world and as client, they do ask to increase the validity of the tender submitted from time to time through official letters.

Dear Bal,

It depends on the Contract Conditions. If it is a FIDIC contract, then the latest Date of Commencement is 42 days after the signing of the agreement.

You should have submitted a Program of Works within 28 days from that date (June 18) showing the scope of works and date of completion.

Then you do a delay analysis by showing the results of the following:

Agreement: May 8, 2008
+42 days
Commencement Date: June 18, 2008
Actual start of work at site: October 05, 2008
Critical Activity path delayed by: 109 days

You have to check your contract and the compensation claused for actions that you can take.

Good luck,

Samer
