Timeline Summary
• Nov 24: Last Accepted Programme shows Sectional Completion Date = May 25.
• Jan 25: PM issues an instruction (Compensation Event – CE1). More information is needed, so submission date for CEQ is extended by agreement (valid under Clause 62.5).
• April 25: An unrelated instruction (CE2) is instructed, to add some additional Scope .
• A quotation is submitted and accepted, giving a 2-week extension to the sectional completion date.
• Later, more information emerges on CE1 that shows it will affect the sectional completion date by 3 weeks.
Which date is used?
The new accepted under CE2
Or
The date as per the November accepted programme
Hello @KD191 my understanding of this question is that you want to know which Sectional Completion date to use on the next programme for acceptance issued after April 2025, my answer below is based on the following assumptions:
That CE2 has been accepted and implemented
That CE1 has been quoted but not accepted and implemented
That no other programmes between Nov 2024 and April 2025 have been accepted.
That CE2 was implemented before the “data date” of the next programme for acceptance.
If CE2 has been accepted and implemented the and CE1 has not you should use the Sectional Completion date of the May 25 date + 2 weeks on the next programme issued for acceptance.
If CE1 is still in quotation / assessment phase and not agreed you should complete/ should have completed a prospective delay analysis on CE1 impacting the November 2024 programme to determine its effect on sectional completion. I would also advise including CE2 in that analysis so that double counting doesn’t occur. It may well be the case that CE2 already captures 2 weeks of the 3 week delay to sectional completion from CE1 (if they run concurrently) which may entitle you to an additional 1 week (so 3 weeks total). Or it may be that CE1 needs to be completed before CE2 and therefore the impact is 3weeks + 2weeks (so 5 weeks in total).
Please get in touch again if i haven’t interpreted your question correctly and i will try to answer it again.
You should impact CE1 on the November 24 programme and determine the effect on completion there. Once complete, add CE02 to the programme.
That will give you a new completion date.
If CE02 is accepted and implemented, deduct the cost of the delay in CE02 from the cost of the delay calculated by CE01+CE02 together.
The new completion date will still be November programme + effect of CE01 and CE02. However the apportionment of defined cost for prelims will be split between them.
