Needing a little advice with a compensation event I’m currently dealing with, if anyone can assist. Ongoing roads design related option B contract. After a few weeks on site (several locations) contractor moved to a new street location (one week ahead of their programme) with the Roadworks Register Notices not allowing access until the date specified on their programme (this was inserted into our Specification). Informed contractor access was not permitted at this location at this time & moved them to where outstanding work was still to be complete. Contractor claimed that work was stopped and claiming compensation due to clause 33.1 allowing access to each part of the site. With a contractor ignoring the New Roads and Streetwork Act and being non-compliant I’m unsure how to highlight this without going to arbitration.
Thanks.
