Hi
Clause 14 FIDIC 1987 – “The contractor shall, within the time stated in Part II of these Conditions after the date of the Letter of Acceptance, submit to the Engineer for his consent a programme, in such detail as the Engineer shall reasonably prescribe, for the execution of the work. …..”
Clause 8.3 FIDIC 1999 (Red Book) – “The Contractor shall submit a detailed programme to the Engineer within 28 days after receiving the notice under Sub-Clause 8.1 [Commencement of Works]. ….”
Q1 The programme does not need to be APPROVED by the Engineer. The contractor may proceed even if the Engineer is agreed on the program? YES or NO
Q2 Does the Engineer have any rights to REJECT the programme, if yes, on what grounds or reasons?
