Abstract: Throughout this Second Edition the Contractor's claims and entitlements are described in greater detail than in the First Edition.The following commentary identifies new or retitled Contractor entitlements for Costs and/or EOT together with details of any deletion of claim headings used in the First Edition.Some sub-clause headings have been changed in the Second Edition.These are also noted to provide continuity for the benefit of personnel who are transiting from use of the First Edition to the Second Edition.Sub-Clause 1.13 (Compliance with Laws) provides for the Contractor to claim additional costs consequent upon the failures of the Employer.Sub-Clause 4.6 (Co-operation) shall, as stated in the Specification or instructed by the Engineer, allow opportunities for carrying out work by Employer's personnel, other contractors employed by the Employer (note, it does not state the other contractors are necessarily working on Site), and employees of Public authorities or private utility companies.Sub-Clause 4.15 (Access Route) This sub-clause has been modified.At the Base Date the Contractor is required to have satisfied himself of the availability and suitability of the access route(s) to the Site.Presumably, the Contractor will have stated his intended access route in his tender submittal.Should the designated access become unavailable because of changes required by the Employer or a third party after the Base Date, and a new access route must be provided, then the Contractor is entitled to claim his additional costs with EOT.Sub-Clause 7.6 (Remedial Works) Generally, the Contractor is responsible for any costs incurred in carrying out remedial works.This sub-clause has been slightly expanded and now confirms that the Contractor is entitled to reimbursement of his Costs (with EOT) if the remedial works arise because of • any act by the Employer of the Employer's Personnel • an Exceptional Event (Sub-Clause 18.4 refers) Appendix C.
