Hi all !!
Just joined in and found to be a great discussion forum.
I have one question:
The engineer got the quotations from other nominated sub contractors for provisional sum and found to be extremely high as against the amount stated in contract PS. So, the engineer instructed the main contractor to carry out certain works of provisional sum based on the BOQ rates referring to clause 58.2 & 52 of FIDIC 1987. Any works where there is no rates stated in BOQ is to be analysed and agreed.
Does the contractor has any rights to object to carry out such works as these works were priced way back (say 2 years). Also, the contractor would have adjusted his price in BOQ while tendering. For this particular item, the unit rates are much lower compared to the present market prices.
Guys, please advice.
Thanking you all in advance.
