FIDIC WORKSHOP

2016

GROUP 6
 QUESTION 1

WHAT ARE THE ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

FOR FORMATION OF CONTRACT? DISCUSS
WHETHER A BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE
CONTRACT HAS BEEN CONCLUDED BETWEEN
JOLLY AND CAN-DO.
• 1. TENDERS AS OFFERS.
• The building owner who invites tenders is only indicating an intention to receive
(invitation to treat) tenders for a particular project. When a contractor submits his tender,
his tender is an offer made to the owner. Until the offer is duly accepted, no contractual
obligations arise. In a contract, each party must have given consideration for the promise.
• 2. QUALIFICATIONS IN A TENDER SUBMITTED.
• Quite often, tenderers may consider certain aspect of the design to be unnecessarily costly
or decide that certain contract conditions to be commercially inefficient or impose undue
risks. In this case, the tenderer may seek to qualify the tender by excluding or amending
certain conditions which he considers may increase the attractiveness of his tender. Where
a contractor submits his tender with qualifications and the tender is successful, the question
which often arises is whether the contract as awarded incorporates these qualifications.
• 3. ACCEPTANCE OF TENDER
• A tender (offer) may be accepted any time after it is made. Generally, the tender is open for a period of time
which is called the tender validity period. Upon the expiry of the stipulated period, the offer lapses and can no
longer be effectively accepted. The general principle of common law is that an offer can be withdrawn any time
before acceptance unless there is a separate undertaking to keep the offer open. It is common for tenderers to pay
a tender deposit which can be forfeited in the event that the tenderer withdraws his tender before the expiry of the
offer period. The acceptance of an offer must be unambiguous and must be communicated to the tenderer before a
contract can be made. Acceptance may be implied by conduct. This principle is codified in section 8 of the
contracts act 1950.
• 4. LETTER OF INTENT
• Once the owner has selected the contractor, he may communicate his decision by issuing a letter of intent which is
understood that the owner intends to award the contract to the contractor. Although a letter of intent is usually
stated to be nonbinding, the purpose here is to provide the contractor with some degree of assurance to persuade
him to commence the mobilization of resources for the project. Contractor may also deem it a sufficient basis to
place orders for materials which requires long lead time.
• 5. ESSENTIAL TERMS OF AGREEMENT.
• Lord Blackburn in Rossiter v Miller (1878) held that if some particulars essential to the
agreement still remain to be settled afterwards, then there is no contract. Normally, an
agreement requires the parties, price, time and description of works(scope of works) as the
minimum necessary for a contract to be workable.

• 6. LETTER OF AWARD.
• The formal letter of award can be issued by the owner once both parties have agreed on the
principal terms of the contract. The letter is usually incorporated as part of the contract
document. Quite often, the letter of award may be issued even though not all terms have
been agreed between the parties, e.G. The definitions of milestones within a programme,
insurance and performance bonds to be subject of negotiations until after the works have
commenced. The typical contents in the letter of award are follow under contract act of
section 6.1 to section 6.7
Answer :
• There is an enforceable contract between Jolly and Can-do. In the event of Can-do(contractor) was
given possession of the site by Jolly(client) and instructed to commence the work. Although, there
was no letter of acceptance was signed but Can-do(contractor) had begun the work while the
contract documents were being prepared and finalized for signing. Under red book of FIDIC in
section 1.1.1.3, “letter of acceptance” means the letter of formal acceptance, signed by the
employer, of the letter of tender, including any annexed memoranda comprising agreements
between and signed by both parties. If there is no such letter of acceptance, the expression “ letter
of acceptance” means the contract agreement and the date of issuing or receiving the letter of
acceptance means the date of signing the contract agreement. In such case, Bang-Bang(project
manager) requested Can-do to expedite the preparation of the contract documents for signing. The
bound contract documents incorporated all the correspondence and documents listed in the letter of
acceptance. In Event that MrJoll (client) would be in the country brief stopover and inform Bang-
bang(PM) requested Can-dp(contractor) to expedite the preparation of the contract documents for
signing.
 CASE LAW
• The classic case of Trollope & Colls Ltd V Atomic Power Construction Ltd (1963) support this
situation where the subcontractors were notified of changes to the works after their submission of
tender. They were instructed to commence work on the following terms: ‘as soon as matters
outstanding between us are settled we will enter into a contract agreement with you, and in the
meantime please accept this letter as an instruction to proceed …’ although no contract was
actually signed, the english court held that a contract came into existence when the contractor
commenced work.
 QUESTION 2

ADVISE JAZZY ON THE VALIDITY OF CAN-DO’S

CLAIM FOR EXTENSION OF TIME AND
ADDITIONAL PAYMENT ARISING FROM THE
COLLAPSED TEMPORARY WORKS.
• Based on the red book FIDIC in section 20.1_contractor’s claim; if the contractor
considers himself to be entitled to any extension of the time of completion and or
any additional payment, under any clause of these conditions or otherwise in
connection with the contract, the contractor shall give notice to the engineer,
describing the event or circumstances giving rise to the claim. The notice shall be
given as soon as practicable, and not later than 28 days after the contractor
become aware, or should have become aware, of the event or circumstance. If the
contractor fails to give notice of a claim within such period of 28days, the time for
completion shall not be extended, the contractor shall not be entitled to additional
payment and the employer shall be discharged from all liability in connection with
the claim.
Answer :

• Base on the situation, the contractor considers himself to be entitled to claim for extension for
time and additional payment. The reasons behind his claim as described states that the collapse
temporary works was due to the changes in design and method statement made by the engineer
instruction where as their initial temporary works design would have been able to sustain
during the national phenomenon, under 23.1 and 23.8(a) relevant events_force majeure of the
PAM contract form 2006. Thus, they considers themselves entitled to claim for the delay 7 days
given the reason that the collapsed temporary works was due to the engineer change in design
and method statement towards their initial temporary work design.
• However, the contractor is not entitled to claim for EOT or additional payment because he failed
to notify the engineer about the collapsed temporary works within 28 days of the incident that
the contractor has become aware of consider as stated in section 20.1; even if the mistake of
changing the design and method was done by the engineer. As a conclusion, the contractor
claims for EOT is invalid
 QUESTION 3

HOW SHOULD JAZZ RESPOND TO CAN-DO WITH

REGARD TO THE LATTER’S CLAIM FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME FOR THE DELAY CAUSED BY
THE RAIN?
• Under Red Book FIDIC in section 8.4 (b) extension of time for completion stated that the contractor
shall be entitled subject to extension of the time for completion if the completion will be delayed by
the exceptionally adverse climatic conditions. In this case, the works have been suffer exceptionally
heavy rain and con-do (contractor) has submitted the claim for extension of the time completion 40
days after the event. Under Red Book FIDIC in section 20.1 contractor’s claims stated that extension
of time for completion and additional payment, the contractor shall give notice to the engineer. The
notice shall be given not later than 28 days from the event or circumstances. If the contractors fails to
give notice of the claim within such period of 28 days, the extension for completion shall not be
extended. In this case, the engineer still granted 7 days extension of time to the contractors although
the contractors submit the notice of claim for extension of time 40 days after the event or
circumstances. Therefore, the contractor shall not be entitled for any extension of time. Moreover, in
the contract, the jolly has instructed gulp to delete the sub-clauses on exceptionally adverse climatic
condition. As a conclusion, contractor shall not entitled for any extension of time.
• Under PAM form clauses 23.0 submission of notice and particulars for extension
of time, if the contractors think that the works will be delayed beyond the
completion date by any of the relevant events stated in clauses 23.8, he may apply
for an extension of time. The contractors shall give written notice within 28 days.
In this case, there is exceptionally heavy rain in the site, which referred in
relevant events in clause 23.8 (b) exceptionally inclement weather. The contractor
submitted the notice 40 days after the event. Which mean it exceed the time
period to submit the notice of extension of time.
 QUESTION 4

IF THE STANDARD FORM OF CONTRACT IS THE AGREEMENT AND CONDITIONS OF PAM CONTRACT 2006
(WITHOUT QUANTITIES), ADVICE PICASSO, IN THEIR CAPACITY AS AN ARCHITECT, ON THE PROCEDURE FOR
DEALING WITH THE EXTENSION OF TIME ARISING FROM THE INSTRUCTION FOR FURTHER CHANGES TO
THE APARTMENT TYPE MIX AND HOW THEY SHOULD RESPOND TO THE REQUEST FROM CAN-DO SINCE THE
COMPLETION DATE HAS PASSED AND A CERTIFICATE OF NON-COMPLETION HAD ALREADY BEEN ISSUED
• Under standard form of contract PAM 2006 (without quantities) clause 23.9 (extension of time
after the issuance of certificate of non-completion) stated that where a relevant event occurs after
the issuance of the certificate of non-completion, the architect shall grant an extension of time. The
extension of time granted shall be added to the completion date of the works or any section of the
works. Whereas the contractor, can-do, struggled to complete the works and the time for
completion already expired, as a result of CNP, he also suffered for liquidated damages. Plus, the
relevant event supported by clause 23.8(e) which mentioned the contractor not having received in
due time the necessary AI for which he had specifically applied in writing to the architect. The
contractor’s application must be submitted to the architect in sufficient time before commencement
of construction of the affected works, to enable the architect to issue the necessary AI within a
period which would not materially affect the progress of the affected works, having regard to the
completion date. Jolly requested jazz to instruct can-do to make further changes to the apartment.
In order to follow the instruction, can-do requested for extension of time as they were not prepared
to carry out the additional changes and time of completion had expired. In this case, Picasso, the
architect, shall grant extension of time to can-do as the additional changes will affect the works as
it is one of the relevant event stated in clause 23.8(e).
 QUESTION 5

ADVISE JOLLY ON THE CONTRACTUAL

IMPLICATIONS OF REPLACING ER JAZZY
AND APPOINTING THEIR OWN EMPLOYEE,
ER JO-JO, AS THE NAMED ENGINEER
• Under red book FIDIC in section 3.4 replacement of the engineer, if the employer intends to replace
the engineer, the employer shall, not less than 21 days before the intended date of replacement, give
notice to the contractor of the name, address and relevant experience of the intended replacement
engineer. In this case, assuming jolly(client) wrote an email to can-do(contractor) stated that
jolly(client) want to ceased Er Jazzy(engineering) work under the contract with immediate effect.
Furthermore, jolly(client) want to replace Er Jazzy to Er Jo-Jo and acted as the engineer for the
purpose of the contract. Thus, jolly(client) cannot replace Er Jo-Jo with immediate effect unless
given notice not less than 21days and if the con-do(contractor) considers the intended replacement
engineer to be unsuitable, the Can-do(contractor) may raise reasonable objection with supporting
reasons to the Jolly(client). The Engineer acts as an agent of the employer and an individual certifier
who is able to acts on his own opinion. In the case where Jolly appoint Er Jo-Jo who is one of his
employee, the question would arise whereby whether Er. Jo-Jo can acts on his own opinion as a
certifier without being interfered by his employer (Jolly) and might act unfairly towards the
contractor.
 6. PROCEDURE AND CONSEQUENCES FOR SUSPENSION OF
WORKS.

 7. ADVICE ON RESPONSE ON SUB-CLAUSES TO
BE DELETED IN CONTRACT FORM.
- GULP SHOULD ADVICE JOLLY ON THE IMPLICATION ON REMOVING THE CLAUSE WHICH WERE
RELEVANT TO THE EXTENSION OF TIME.
- THIS ACTION IS NOT ADVISABLE AS IF THERE'S NO EOT, THE EMPLOYER CANNOT SET A NEW
COMPLETION DATE, THE CONTRACTOR OBLIGATION THEN IS TO COMPLETE IN A 'REASONABLE
TIME' WHERE IT MAY TAKE A LONGER TIME TO COMPLETE BECAUSE THERE'S NO DEFINITE
COMPLETION DATE TO WORK TOWARDS.

 QUESTION 9

ADVISE JAZZ ON THE MANNER IN WHICH THE

EXTENSION OF TIME WAS PURPORTEDLY GIVEN
FOR THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE BEDROOMS.
 ACCORDING TO PAM FORM 2006,
• JAZZ IS THE CIVIL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEER APPOINTED FOR THIS PROJECT.
• CLAUSE 2.1 STATES THAT THE ARCHITECT IS EMPOWERED BY THE CONDITIONS TO
ISSUE INSTRUCTIONS
• THUS, THE ARCHITECT IS THE CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR

• JAZZ DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS TO ADMINISTRATE THE

CONTRACT, THUS CANNOT GRANT EXTENSION OF TIME
 ACCORDING TO PAM FORM 2006,
• ASSUME PICASSO WHICH IS THE CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR IS THE
ONE WE ARE ADVISING.
• SCENARIO: “CAN-DO (CONTRACTOR) GAVE NOTICE OF DELAY AND
REQUESTED FOR AN EOT FOR RECONFIGURATION OF THE
BEDROOM 6 MONTHS AFTER THE VARIATION WORKS WERE
ORDERED.”
• CLAUSE 23.1 (A) STATES THAT “THE CONTRACTOR SHALL GIVE
WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE ARCHITECT HIS INTENTION TO CLAIM
FOR SUCH EOT… WITHIN 28 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE AI”
• CLAUSE 23.1 (B) STATES THAT “…IF THE CONTRACTOR FAILS TO
SUBMIT SUCH PARTICULARS WITHIN THE STATED TIME,… IT
SHALL BE DEEMED THAT THE CONTRACTOR HAS ASSESSED THAT
SUCH RELEVANT EVENT WILL NOT DELAY THE COMPLETION OF

NOTICE OF DELAY AND REQUESTED FOR AN
EOT FOR RECONFIGURATION OF THE
BEDROOM 6 MONTHS AFTER THE VARIATION
WORKS WERE ORDERED.”
• SUB-CLAUSE 20.1 STATES THAT “IF THE
CONTRACTOR FAILS TO GIVE NOTICE OF A
CLAIM WITHIN SUCH PERIOD OF 28 DAYS, THE
TIME FOR COMPLETION SHALL NOT BE
EXTENDED…”
 ACCORDING TO PAM FORM 2006 & FIDIC
FORM,
• CAN-DO (CONTRACTOR) IS NOT ENTITLED FOR EOT, AS
• THE CONTRACTOR GAVE LATE NOTICE OF DELAY (6 MONTHS INSTEAD OF 28 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF
THE EVENT)
• NOTICE OF DELAY IS A CONDITION PRECEDENT OF ANY EOT ENTITLEMENT

• JAZZ SHOULD NOT HAVE GRANTED THE EOT REQUESTED.

• HOWEVER, AS THE CLAUSES FOR EOT IN THE FIDIC HAS NOW BEEN DELETED ON JOLLY’S
INSTRUCTION AND VARIATION FALLS UNDER THE CATEGORY OF DELAY BY EMPLOYER, THE TIME
WOULD BE AT LARGE
• WHEN TIME IS AT LARGE, JAZZ SHOULD ASSESS THE REASONABLE TO COMPLETE SUCH WORKS
AND IF SUCH WORK IS NOT COMPLETED IN TIME, JOLLY CAN SUE THE CONTRACT UNDER
COMMON LAW AS THE DELAY DAMAGES NO LONGER APPLIES.
• IN THIS CASE, JAZZ SHOULD ACT ON HIS OWN OPINION AS AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIER AND NOT
SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF JOLLY (THE EMPLOYER).

 QUESTION 11
DISCUSS JAZZ’S ACTION TO ISSUE AN
INSTRUCTION TO OMIT PORTIONS OF THE
WORKS FROM CAN-DO’S CONTRACTED SCOPE
SO THAT ANOTHER CONTRACTOR CAN BE
ENGAGED TO CARRY OUT THE OMITTED
PORTIONS.
 PAM Form 2006 (With Quantities) assume Engineer is Architect
A certain portion of works have been omitted from the Engineer’s Instructions assigned to Can-Do and have
been arranged for another contractor to carry out the omitted works.
From the point of view of the Contractor:
As stated in Clause 6.1, all works, materials, goods and workmanship shall be of the respective quality and
standards described in the Contract Document. According to Clause 6.5, In the case where it is not up to
quality, the consultant admin may
a) Remove the materials from site
b) To demolish and reconstruct
c) To rectify such work as AI
d) To submit a method statement within 7 days of receipt of the written instructions
e) To leave all works with the consent of the employer together with the appropriate set-off

As stated in Clause 15.3(b), 15.4, 15.5, 29.1, 30.4 if the Contractor, Can-Do fails to attend to the defects, the
employer may employ and pay other Person to rectify the defects. All defects not made good by the Contractor
shall be set-off.
11. Discuss Jazz’s action to issue an instruction to omit portions of the works from Can-Do’s contracted scope so that
another contractor can be engaged to carry out the omitted portions.
 FIDIC Contract Form
Based on Clause 4.9, the contractor shall institute a quality assurance system to demonstrate compliance with the
requirements of the Contract. Compliance with the quality assurance system shall not relieve the Contractor of any
of his duties, obligations or responsibilities under the Contract, which in this case Can-Do did not comply with the
quality assurance system.

Based on Clause 7.6, if the Contractor fails to comply with the instructions, the Employer, Jolly is entitled to employ
and pay other Person to carry out the work. Except to the extent that the Contractor would have been entitled to
payment for the work, the Contractor shall subject to Sub-Clause 2.5 pay to the Employer all costs arising from this
failure.

• Procedure for Can-Do ( contractor)

should have become aware of the relevant event or circumstances
2. *After 28 days, the contractor is deemed to have waived his rights to:
i. Claim for extension of time

3. Supporting particulars should be provided by the contractor and the contractor should also maintain
such contemporary records as may be needed to substantiate claims.
4. Contractor to allow inspection of records and if requested, submit copies.
5. A claim with continuing effects, contractor should submit an interim claim at intervals as required by
engineer
• *Case law
• Supported by case of Bremer Handelgesellschaft Mbh V Vanden Avenne Izegem Nv,
• House Of Lords held that provisions should be construed as a condition precedent, and so would
be binding if:
• It states the precise time within which the notice is to be served, and
• It makes plain by express language that unless the notice is served within that time, the party
making the claim will lose its rights under the clause.
Procedure For Jazz (Engineer/Contract Administrator)
1. Engineer may monitor record-keeping and instruct for further records if necessary
2. Engineer has 42 days from receipt of fully detailed claim to respond his approval, disapproval or detailed
comments.
3. Engineer may also request further particulars.
4. No time limit for making decision, but must not unreasonably withheld or delayed

However, in this case, there was an absence of agreement of extension of time because Employer has instructed for the
sub-clauses to be omitted from the Contract. Hence, the Engineer will determine a fair extension while considering;
i. Causes of delay,
ii. Effect of a review of any previous determinations of time extension which may result in in an increase, but not
decrease in total time of extension
iii. Notifies contractor
