provisions for:
•
float;
•
time risk allowances (see clause 63.6);
•
health and safety requirements;
•
the procedures set out in the contract;
•
thedateswhen,inordertoProvidetheWorksinaccordancewithhisprogramme,
the Contractor will need:
•
access to a part of the Site if later than its access date,
•
acceptances;
•
Plant and Materials and other things to be provided by the Employer;
•
information from Others.
•
for each operation, a statement of how the Contractor plans to do the work identi-
fying the principal Equipment and other resources which he plans to use; and
•
other information which the Works Information requires the Contractor to show
on a programme submitted for acceptance.
It is quite clear from the nature of what is required to be included in the programme
that a simple bar chart type programme simply will not do. To meet the requirements
of clause 31 a number of different documents will be required.
Clause 31.3 requires the Project Manager to respond to the Contractor's pro-
gramme within two weeks of its submission by either (a) accepting it or (b) notifying
the Contractor of his reasons for not accepting it. Reasons for non-acceptance are:
•
the Contractor's plans which it shows are not practicable;
•
it does not show the information which the contract requires;
•
it does not represent the Contractor's plans realistically; or
•
it does not comply with the Works Information.
Non-acceptance for a reason other than one of the reasons stated above would be a
compensation event under clause 60.1(9). See Section 6.11.11.
Clause 31.4 applies only if Option A (Priced Contract with Activity Schedule) or
Option C (Target Cost with Activity Schedule) is used, i.e. the contracts with Activity
Schedules. The clause requires the Contractor to provide information which shows
that each activity on the Activity Schedule relates to the operations on each pro-
gramme which the Contractor submits for acceptance.
6.11.3 Revising the programme
Clause 32.1 deals with the submission of revised programmes. While the contract
does not expressly require the Contractor to comply with his programme, it is impor-
tant to note that the contract requires the Contractor to submit revised programmes.
