Dear, all
I have a road and infrastructure project which was planned in the pogramme to be devided into 10 stages and each stage consists of 3 working areas and each working area have 3KM length.
As per clause 48.2 of the conditon of contract,the engineer shall issue a taking-over certificate for any substantial part of the permanent works which has been both completed and otherwise occupied by the employer.
Based on the above ,the contractor is asking me to hand over officially every and each working area after completing the works for the said area and open the same for the use of normal traffic.
Shall i agree with the contractorrequest which is contractually supported but seems to be un-normal practically since i have to issue 33 nos.of partial taking-over certificate and the maintanence certificates will be issed in different dats accordingly.
Please advice me.
THANKS
