If we presume that we’re working under an unamended nec 4 option A contract. I have a query on programmes.
CL32 updated programme has been submitted to the client with comp events showing delay/EOT request. As these are still in process of acceptance through the comp event process the planned completion date is to the right of the contract completion date.
Client is reminded after 2 weeks that they haven’t received comment/response to the submission.
Further 2 weeks pass, therefore programme is automatically accepted.
Should we raise a cen for EOT against client response time or is this automatically accepted? Does the EOT not apply as programme is automatically accepted but the delays still need to be agreed through the ce process?
