Variations 3
- The Procuring Entity (PE) issued three emergency contracts for Civil Engineering, General Road and Pipe Laying Works;
- During the performance of these contracts, it was realized that the existing scope of work was inadequate to complete the project.
- The PE further outlined that its project team in an effort to manage these projects, may have incorrectly applied the procedures set out in 13.1 – Right to Vary, and 13.2 – Value Engineering of the contract;
- Consequently, there were a number of variations which were not approved in accordance with the established policy and likewise the contingency and provisional sums included in the subject contracts were in some situations used to enable the completion of these works;
- In recognition that its project team may not have acted appropriately/ followed the correct procedures, the PE sought to be advised on how the subject variations are to be treated and the corresponding procedures.
