hi all
is it a good practice to issue a partial approval for a baseline program submission ???
For example lets say the contractor submits a baseline program for the construction of a road bridge.
the program is acceptable up to the launching of the beams for the bridge as it is coordinated with the other contractor who is building the piers and it meets the employers requirement as to when the launching of beams should complete.
however the contractor takes too long to do the finishing works, ie parapet wall, asphalt layer, NJB, etc. and this results on the full completion of the bridge later than when the employer wants it completed.
Hence would it be acceptable to approve the baseline program upto the launching of the beams (ie partial approval), and caveat the finishing works as it does not meet the overall completion???
what are the implications if we were to go down this road???
any advise or insights is appreciated.
thanks
