Hi Guys,
May I request an assesment on this;
Given:
Phase 1 (unit rate)
Phase 2 (provisional sum)
Both phases are in one contract with the duration of 20 months commencing 1 Jan 2009 - 1Aug 2010.
Now, there is approved program which the Phase 1 will start on 1 Jan 2009 and finish on 1 August 2010 and Phase 2 will start on 1 Jan 2010 and will finish on 1 August 2010. The Engineer gives notice to proceed for Phase 2 on 1 Jan 2011. The question is which duration will be implemented? 20 months or 8 months for phase 2? For me it is 8 months since the program is approved by the Engineer. The Approved Baseline will be the Contract Program. As PE now I need to do Time Impact Analysis. (please tell me the difference of TIA from Forensic). Engineers are using Window Analysis which I dont know and they are not using the Calendar. To do the TIA first I need to have the Event Log (which will include the dates of Notification of all parties, Proposed Action Date, Events and etc.) Engineers are refusing to give me this datas because according to them its not their work. Second, my point is why the Engineers are not associating the events in the Condition of the Contract. They are saying that the Client are delayed for giving notice to proceed the work for Phase 2. For me, its a PS and since they know that they will be delay, Why the Contractor did not send any notification as per the condition of the contract?Now, what will be the basis of the Engineers for the delays encountered? What will be the best basis for the delay computation for this?
Regards,
