FIDIC General Conditions Summary
- If a delay is caused by the Employer’s responsibility and concurrent with a delay caused by the Contractor’s responsibility, the Contractor’s entitlement to Extension of Time (EOT) will be assessed according to rules and procedures in the Special Provisions.
- Delays caused by authorities will be considered as a cause of delay if the Contractor diligently follows procedures laid down by relevant legally constituted public authorities or private utility entities in the country, and the delay or disruption was unforeseeable.
- If the Contractor's progress is too slow, the Engineer may instruct the Contractor to submit a revised program to expedite progress, and the Contractor shall adopt these revised methods at their own risk and cost.
- The Employer may be entitled to payment of additional costs if the revised methods cause the Employer to incur additional costs, in addition to Delay Damages.
- If the Contractor fails to comply with the Time for Completion, the Employer shall be entitled to payment of Delay Damages by the Contractor for this default.
- Delay Damages shall be the amount stated in the Contract Data and shall be paid for every day that elapses between the Time for Completion and the Date of Completion of the Works or Section, not exceeding the maximum amount stated in the Contract Data.
- The Contractor shall protect, store, and secure the Works during a suspension instructed by the Engineer, and may be entitled to EOT and/or payment of costs incurred from complying with the instruction or resuming the work.
- The Contractor shall not be entitled to EOT or payment of costs incurred in making good the consequences of the Contractor’s faulty or defective workmanship, Plant, or Materials.
- The Engineer may instruct the Contractor to suspend progress of part or all of the Works at any time, and during such suspension, the Contractor shall protect, store, and secure the Works against any deterioration, loss, or damage.
- If the cause of the suspension is the responsibility of the Contractor, certain clauses related to consequences, payment for plant and materials, and prolonged suspension shall not apply.
- The Contractor shall not be entitled to EOT or payment for costs from any deterioration, loss, or damage caused by the Contractor’s failure to protect, store, or secure the Works during a suspension.
