A compensation event has been notified by the project manager and has been priced and submitted by the contractor. Within the quote there is an assumption given by the contractor, which under the contract is not a project managers assumption and so wouldn’t stand if it was to change. I understand the contractor should price anything that is not clear and perhaps should have had a conversation with the project manager prior to submitting the CE to make them assumptions under 61.6 if agreed.
My question is, is there a way of introducing project managers assumptions after the quote has been submitted? The assumption the contractor has provided is reasonable and probably something which should have been considered and included as a project managers assumption. Can project managers assumptions be included if the quote recieved is assessed by the project manager prior to implementing?
