I would like to know from the "HIGH & LOW" members of the forum if there is any way to "force" the Consultant/Client to give consent to the Baseline programme submitted? I work on the Main Contractor’s side.
The situation is like this -
A Baseline programme was submitted within the first 21 days of the "Contractual Start" or Letter of Acceptance of the project. 2 weeks later I was asked to revise the programme as the client wanted free float to the end of the project for some of the items to be fixed (viz. Door Mats, etc.). A revised programme was submitted incorporating the changes. Subsequently, I was asked to submit weekly updates based on the older version of the programme. Its been almost 45 days now that the Consultant/Client has neither consented or approved the logistics of the new baseline programme. Very soon the updates are going to reach a stage where the links of some of the activities in the new programme have been revised. Is FIDIC flexible enough to address such issues?
Also, the contract says that the nominated (by the client) sub-contractor has to comply with the main contractor’s programme. But, the client insists that the main contractor has to take consent from all sub-contractors regarding the feasability of the baseline programme. What do you guys think?
