Q40. Both FIDIC Silver Book (SB) and Yellow Book (YB) (edition 1999) mention the Contractor scrutinising the Employer’s Requirements. Which statement is correct?

Scrutinising in FIDIC Yellow Book 1999 and Silver Book 1999 means that the Contractor must ask the Employer to check the Employer’s Requirements very well to see if the Works can be built on that location according to the Employer’s Requirements.

Scrutinising in FIDIC Silver Book 1999 means that the Contractor should read the Employer’s Requirements very thoroughly after the contract closes and see if the Employer’s Requirements is complete or if something is missing.

Scrutinising in FIDIC Yellow Book 1999 means the same as in FIDIC Silver Book 1999. In both models it means that after the contract closes and before starting the actual making of the design, the Contractor has to read the Employer’s Requirements very thoroughly and check on any errors, omissions or conflicts.

Scrutinising in FIDIC Yellow Book 1999 means that the Contractor has the opportunity after contract close to report on any errors, mistakes or conflicts in the Employer’s Requirements. In the FIDIC Silver Book 1999 scrutinising provides that obligation during the tender period; Contractor has the opportunity to report on any errors, mistakes or conflicts in the Employer’s Requirements and for Employer to change it; for after contract closes this is not a duty anymore of Employer.

Q41. Which one of the following statements regarding drafting contracts based on FIDIC Books is correct?

Amending clauses, supposedly in the interest of the Employer, immediately nullifies all the advantages of standardization, and almost invariably introduces conflicting or ambiguous requirements on the parties, and often causes mistrust between them.

The FIDIC Books provide people who draft contracts with great examples on how to draft a good contract model. Furthermore, arrangements from Red, Yellow and Silver Books can be easily mixed to get a good fit for a specific project.

The Form of Contract is chosen by the Contractor and imposed by him on the Employer, who tenders on that basis.

People who draft contracts should, when preparing a new contract, always start with the question:where do I want to lay the most risks between Employer and Contractor, and does the Employer has the budget to reward Contractors with a high risk apatite?

Q42. Which two of the following statements are correct regarding the dayworks under FIDIC Red, Yellow, and Silver Books (both editions)?
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

If a Daywork Schedule is not included in the Contract, the Sub-Clause related to dayworks shall not apply.

The dayworks related Sub-Clause is also applicable to other types of works.

The dayworks related Sub-Clause is only used for remeasurement in the FIDIC Red Book (both editions) only.

The Engineer (or the Employer in case of FIDIC Silver Book) may instruct that “a Variation shall” be executed on a daywork basis.

Q43. Which one statement is correct regarding the FIDIC Red Book (edition 2017)?

Instructions to Tenderers are part of the Employer’s Requirements.

No Data other than required by the General Conditions of Contract may be entered in the Contract Data.

Instructions to Tenderers may require the tenderer to provide information on matters in Sub-Clause 4.3 on Contractor’s Representative and Sub-Clause 6.12 on Key Personnel.

General Conditions of Contract cannot be amended as it may imbalance the obligations and rights of the Parties.

As a Contract Manager during the procurement stage, you are to explain the difference between Dispute Avoidance and Adjudication Board (DAAB) and other alternative dispute resolutions for this type of project. Which one of the following statements of its explanation is NOT correct?

DAAB is to provide for a fair, timely and efficient resolution of Disputes.

The function of the DAAB is to remain in place as part of the Parties’ project team to assist both Parties, equally and impartially.

Avoidance of Disputes on the project and resolution of Disputes at or soon after the time they arise is a two-part role of the DAAB.

DAAB provided supports for Parties during arbitration, as a witness to give factual evidence on the background for the DAAB’s Decision.

Q45. You are the Contract Manager of the Engineer and person Y is the Contract Manager of the Employer in a construction project under FIDIC 2017 Red Book. The project is late in schedule and Y has issued Employer’s claim on Delay Damages. You have asked Y to consider whether the Contractor’s delay to completion is a reflection of cash-flow shortfall from interim payments before making deductions to the Contractor’s payment. Y replied that even if the Contractor pays Delay Damages to the Employer, the Contractor is still obliged to complete the Works and is not relieved from its duties and obligations. You warned Y of the risks of further reduction of cash-flow by the deduction of Delay Damages from payments. As this could worsen the situation of the Contractor, leading to further delays to the completion of the Works. Who is right?

Both you and Y are both correct.

You are correct, Y is wrong.

You are wrong, Y is correct.

Both you and Y are wrong.

Q46. Which one of the following statements is correct regarding the Employer’s Representative under the FIDIC Silver Book (edition 1999)?

The Representatives of both the Employer and the Engineer have no authority to amend the Contract at all.

The Employer may appoint an Employer’s Representative to act on his behalf under the Contract.

The Employer must always appoint an Employer’s Representative to act on his behalf under the Contract.

The Employer may appoint an Employer’s Representative to act on his behalf under the Contract but has to consult the Contractor to agree to this Representative.

Q47. Applying FIDIC Silver Book (edition 1999), which one of the following elements shallnotform part of the time Programme/revised programme?

The intended order of the works.

The sequence and timing of inspections and tests.

The remedial work (if any) instructed under Sub-Clause 7.6.

Review periods under Sub-Clause 5.2.

Q48. The Employer has prepared a contract for a waste-to-energy project based on the FIDIC Yellow Book (edition
1999). You are preparing negotiations on behalf of one of the Subcontractors with the Contractor. The main Contractor will manage the design and build of the Works, whereby the Subcontractor will deliver critical systems regarding power generation and cooling. The Contractor intends to contract the main Contract back- to-back with the Subcontractor. In the proposed back-to-back subcontract, the following amendment is proposed through Particular Conditions:
“Sub-Clause 4.4. The following paragraph is added: The Subcontractor is required to scrutinize the Employer’s Requirements in a manner identical to the obligations of the Contractor as stated in Sub-Clause
5.1 of the Main Contract. The Subcontractor will indemnify and hold harmless (up to the maximum liability of the Subcontractor) the Contractor with regard to any error, fault or other defect found in the Employer’s Requirements, its items of reference or Contractor’s design of the Works for the scope part for which Subcontractor is contracted.” What is your advice to the Subcontractor (SC) in regard to entering this proposed subcontract?

I would advise the SC to enter the Contract with the request to the Contractor to delete this amendment in the Particular Conditions. If the Contractor does not agree to do so, at least the Subcontractor has tried its best.

I would advise the SC not to enter this contract because the Contractor is obliged to act in accordance with good faith. A proposed paragraph like this opposes good faith.

I would advise the SC not to enter this contract, because Sub-Clause 4.4 describes the obligations of SC towards Contractor, but this amendment positions the SC in a vulnerable position for claims regarding all errors, faults or other Defects (whether originating from the Employer’s Requirements or the design of the Contractor). Essentially, this means the SC becomes liable for the design part, which is within the scope of Contractor even without SC having the opportunity to review it.

I would advise the SC to discuss this amendment with the insurance company just to be sure there will be no transfer of risks. This amendment is mainly a consequence of the FIDIC Yellow Book structure, where the Contractor has obligations in terms of scrutinizing the Employer’s Requirements. This amendment makes this obligation more explicit. If the insurance company has no problems with insuring the parts which will be delivered by SC to Contractor, the SC can accept this risk and enter into the subcontract.

Q49. Which two of the following statements are correct, regarding the Programme under FIDIC Red, Yellow and Silver Books (edition 2017)?
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

The Contractor is required to proceed in accordance with the Programme and the Employer’s Personnel shall be entitled to rely upon the Programme in planning their activities.

Nothing in any Programme will relieve the Contractor from any obligations to give contractual notice under the Conditions of Contract.

The Programme is a contract document, and thus, considered binding on the Parties.

The Engineer/Employer is not required to review the Programme, and also not required to inform the Contractor if the Programme does not comply with the Contract.

Q50. Which one of the following claim events does NOT allow profit?

The current index or price.

Either the current index/price, or index or price applicable on the date 49 days before the expiry of the Time for Completion of the Works, whichever is more favourable to the Employer.

Either the current index/price, or index or price applicable on the date 49 days before the expiry of the Time for Completion of the Works, whichever agreed by Parties.

Q52. If defects are identified during the Tests on Completion, which one of the following options is not available to the Parties under the Contract?

If the defects do not affect the use of the Works for their intended purpose, the Engineer can issue the Taking-Over Certificate.

By giving reasons, the Engineer can refuse to accept the Works until repeated tests have been successfully performed.
