People of all planning knowledge,
As the client, we are in an ongoing situation for EOT, whereas we, the client are accepting approx 60% of the risks (i say ongoing because they shall argue the 40%). Just a simple question, by paying for acceleration which mitigates over 60% of the risk, have we mitigated our risk? therefore the remaining risk to be recovered by the contractor against the target cost (NEC B)?
The reason i ask, is because the contractor is refusing to reschedule the programme for recovery i.e progress activities concurrently. I suspect that they re-priced the tender based on programme to win the job, but at their risk in my opinion.
Cheers
Ian
