NEW QUESTION # 41
Upon review of the revised programme, submitted by the Contractor, if the Engineer (under FIDIC Red or Yellow Books) or Employer (under FIDIC Silver Book) does not give a Notice of Non-Compliance within 14 days after receiving a revised programme, then ... [complete the sentence, thereby considering FIDIC Red, Yellow, and Silver Books (edition 2017)]. (1 correct answer applies)

• A. The Contractor cannot proceed in accordance with the Programme.
• B. The Engineer shall be deemed to have given a Consent and the revised programme shall be the Programme.
• C. The Contractor shall submit a Notice to the Engineer or the Employer reminding him to give its approval on the revised programme.
• D. The Engineer is deemed to have no objection to use the revised programme submitted by the Contractor, for the Works.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
According to the FIDIC 2017 editions (Red, Yellow, and Silver Books), when the Contractor submits a revised programme, the Engineer or Employer has a limited time (typically 14 days) to review and raise any Notice of Non-Compliance if the programme does not meet contract requirements (Sub-Clause 8.3 or equivalent). If no notice is issued within this period, the Engineer or Employer is deemed to have no objection to the revised programme.
This does not imply formal approval or consent, but the programme can be used for the execution and administration of the works in the absence of objections. This avoids unnecessary delay due to inaction.
Option D is correct as it captures this deemed "no objection" position.
Option B is incorrect as "deemed consent" is stronger than FIDIC provisions state; it is more correct to say
"no objection".
Option A is incorrect since the Contractor does not have to remind the Engineer or Employer for consent within this period.
Option C is incorrect because the Contractor may proceed if no non-compliance is notified.

NEW QUESTION # 42
Which of the following situations form legally binding contracts? (2 correct answers apply) Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities)

• A. The Employer received the Contractor's Letter of Tender and issued a conditional Letter of Acceptance.
• B. The Employer and the Contractor signed the Contract Agreement.
• C. The Employer received the Contractor's Letter of Tender and issued a Letter of Intent.
• D. The Employer received the Contractor's Letter of Tender and issued Letter of Acceptance.

Answer: B,D

Explanation:
A legally binding contract is typically formed when there is an offer, acceptance, and intention to create legal relations. Under FIDIC contracts:
Option B (signing the Contract Agreement) unequivocally forms a binding contract.
Option D (Letter of Acceptance issued after receiving the Contractor's Letter of Tender) generally forms a binding contract unless otherwise specified, as the Letter of Acceptance is the formal acceptance of the tender.
Option A (Letter of Intent) is not necessarily a binding contract; it often serves as an interim arrangement signaling intent but may lack definitive terms to form a contract.
Option C (conditional Letter of Acceptance) may not form a binding contract unless the conditions are fulfilled.

NEW QUESTION # 43
If a FIDIC Red, Yellow, or Silver Book (edition 2017) is applied, in which of the following two cases is the Contractor required to submit a revised programme?
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

• A. The Contractor shall revise the Programme only by request from the Engineer or the Employer (in case of FIDIC Silver Book).
• B. To accurately reflect the actual progress of the Works, but only if any Programme ceases to reflect actual progress with at least 42 days.
• C. Upon a request from the Engineer (under FIDIC Red or Yellow Books) or Employer (under FIDIC Silver Book) notifying it that the Programme fails to comply with the Contract, to a specified extent, or no longer reflects actual progress or is otherwise inconsistent with the Contractor's obligations.
• D. To accurately reflect the actual progress of the Works, whenever any Programme ceases to reflect actual progress or is otherwise inconsistent with the Contractor's obligations.

Answer: C,D

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Option C is correct: The Contractor must revise the programme whenever it no longer accurately reflects progress or obligations.
Option D is correct: The Contractor must also revise the programme upon formal request if it fails contract compliance or progress reflection.
Option A is incorrect; the Contractor has ongoing obligations beyond formal requests.
Option B is incorrect; no 42-day threshold applies in the contract for revision.

NEW QUESTION # 44
You are the Contract Manager for the Engineer in a hospital project using FIDIC Yellow Book (edition 2017).
The Employer demands perfection in the project's design and construction quality. There are many Variations initiated by the Employer during design and construction. Which one of the following is considered to be a valid Variation?

• A. The Engineer instructs a change in slopes of the access road to the intensive care unit to meet the Employer's Requirement. The Engineer does so with a Notice in accordance with Sub-Clause 3.5.
• B. The Contractor submits a Value Engineering proposal regarding the lighting system for the operation rooms. The Engineer is positive about the proposal and tells the Contractor they need to look into it.
• C. The Engineer requests a proposal regarding a change in type of windows and doors. The Contractor submitted the proposal accordingly to the Engineer. The Engineer instructs the Variation.
• D. The Employer verbally instructs a change in the type of doors. The Engineer issued a Notice describing the required change and denying any costs for the Contractor.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Option B is correct: A Variation is a formal change to the Works instructed by the Engineer via a Notice (Sub- Clause 3.5). This includes changes to design or execution such as slopes on a road.
Option A is a proposal, not yet a Variation. Positive interest does not constitute a Variation.
Option C is partially correct but depends on formal instruction after proposal acceptance; the question specifies the Engineer instructs the Variation, but since it was a request for proposal first, the Variation instruction comes later. Without explicit instruction, this is not yet a Variation.
Option D is invalid as verbal instruction plus a Notice denying cost claims does not constitute a proper Variation.

NEW QUESTION # 45
Giving "Notice" .... [2017 edition] (2 correct answers apply)
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

• A. ... is not a compulsory obligation, but "highly recommended".
• B. ... is always compulsory together with a clear indication of the relevant Sub-Clause under which the Notice is being served.
• C. ... is a special obligation for the Engineer only, in order to enable him/her to manage the implementation of the contract.
• D. ... is intended for written communications, in full compliance with the formal requirements outlined in the dedicated Sub-Clause.

Answer: B,D

Explanation:
Option B is correct: Notices are compulsory when required and must reference the relevant Sub-Clause to be valid.
Option D is correct: Notices are formal written communications and must comply with the contract's prescribed procedures.
Option A is incorrect; notices are often mandatory, not merely recommended.
Option C is incorrect; notices are obligations for all Contract Participants, not just the Engineer.

NEW QUESTION # 46
You are teaching a group of early career professionals in the Contract Management department about the FIDIC 2017 Rainbow Suite of contract, and you are explaining about the intention of Delay Damages. Which one of the following statements is correct?

• A. None of the above.
• B. Delay Damages is intended to be treated as an incentive for the Contractor to perform on time.
• C. Delay Damages is not intended to remove burden for the Employer to demonstrate and prove that it has suffered any loss or damage.
• D. Delay Damages is intended to provide full compensation to the Employer for all damages that it is expected to suffer as a result of the delay.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Delay Damages under FIDIC are primarily a pre-agreed measure to incentivize the Contractor to complete works on time rather than full compensation for all losses suffered. They simplify the process by avoiding the need for the Employer to prove actual losses.
Option A is incorrect; Delay Damages are generally not full compensation.
Option C is incorrect because Delay Damages remove the Employer's burden to prove actual loss.
Option B is the correct interpretation.

NEW QUESTION # 47
Under the FIDIC Red Book (edition 1999): the Contractor submitted Final Statement in accordance with the Contract and the Contractor wants to correct it. Can the Contractor correct the Final Statement?

• A. No
• B. Yes

Answer: B

Explanation:
According to the FIDIC Red Book 1999,Sub-Clause 14.10 - Application for Final Payment Certificateand related procedures allow the Contractor to submit the Final Statement, which includes the final account of all sums due.
If after submission the Contractor identifies errors or omissions in the Final Statement, the Contractor is generally entitled tosubmit corrections or adjustmentsto that statement before the issuance of the Final Payment Certificate. This ensures that the final account accurately reflects all amounts due.
The Engineer reviews the Final Statement and may seek clarifications or adjustments. The contract typically allows the Contractor to correct or revise the Final Statement as part of this review process.
However, once the Final Payment Certificate is issued and accepted by the parties, it becomes more difficult for the Contractor to amend the Final Statement without formal agreement or dispute resolution.
Hence, prior to certification, the Contractor can correct the Final Statement.

NEW QUESTION # 48
Under the FIDIC Red, Yellow, and Silver Books (edition 2017), if a Dispute is referred to the Dispute Avoidance and Adjudication Board (DAAB) to obtain its decision, the Parties shall suspend performing their obligations in accordance with the Contract, until they receive further directions from the DAAB. Is this statement true or false?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer: B

Explanation:
The statement is false. Under FIDIC 2017 editions, the referral of a dispute to the DAAB does not automatically suspend the Parties' contractual obligations. The works and contract performance generally continue while the dispute is adjudicated, unless otherwise agreed or ordered.
Suspension of obligations can disrupt project progress and is not encouraged by FIDIC procedures, which emphasize dispute resolution without delaying the work.

NEW QUESTION # 49
When does discharge become effective under the FIDIC Red Book (edition 1999)? (1 correct answer applies)

• A. When the Contractor receives full payment certified through the Final Payment Certificate and return of the Performance Security.
• B. When the Contractor receives full payment certified through the Final Payment Certificate.
• C. When the Employer counter signs a discharge notice as issued by the Contractor, following full payment and return of the Performance Security.
• D. When the Contractor receives its Performance Security from the Employer.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Under the FIDIC Red Book 1999, discharge becomes effective when the Contractor has received full payment certified by the Final Payment Certificate and the return of the Performance Security (Sub-Clause 14.10).
Both elements must be completed for the contract to be considered fully discharged, releasing the Contractor from further obligations or liabilities under the contract.
Option A is incomplete as payment alone does not fully discharge the Contractor.
Option B is incomplete as return of Performance Security alone is insufficient.
Option D is incorrect because the contract does not require a discharge notice signed by the Employer beyond these conditions.

NEW QUESTION # 50
Under the FIDIC Silver Contract (edition 2017), which two of the answers provide for preconditions for certification and payment of the Interim Payment Certificate?
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

• A. The appointment of the Contractor's Representative and receipt of the Performance Security, by the Employer, in the form, and issued by an entity, in accordance with Sub-Clause 4.2.1.
• B. Receipt of a statement and supporting documents.
• C. Receipt of a statement via a letter showing the amounts to which the Contractor considers itself to be entitled.
• D. The appointment of the Contractor and receipt of the Advance Payment Guarantee, by the Employer, in the form, and issued by an entity, in accordance with Sub-Clause 14.2.1.

Answer: B,D

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Option A is correct: Certification and payment of interim payments are conditional on Employer's receipt of the Contractor's appointment and the Advance Payment Guarantee (Sub-Clause 14.2.1).
Option D is correct: Payment also requires receipt of the Contractor's statement supported by relevant documentation.
Option B alone is insufficient without supporting documents.
Option C relates to appointment and performance security but is not a stated precondition for payment certification.

NEW QUESTION # 51
Under the FIDIC Red Book, which one of the following statements is correct for a claim by the Contractor?

• A. If the Engineer does not make a determination, the Employer and the Contractor are unable to agree to settle an issue that gave rise to a claim.
• B. The Engineer's response to the Contractor's submission of detailed particulars that are required by the procedure for claims by the Contractor must include the Engineer's final decision on the quantum.
• C. It is the Employer's Representative who must first respond to the claim by the Contractor.
• D. The Employer has the authority to accept a claim by the Contractor, even in the case of the Contractor's failure to comply with the notice requirements.
• E. The Engineer's response to a claim by the Contractor is final and binding upon the Employer.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Under FIDIC Red Book 1999, the Engineer plays a key role in determining claims submitted by the Contractor (Clause 20). If the Engineer fails to make a determination within the prescribed time, the Parties may be unable to resolve the dispute and thus the matter may proceed to dispute resolution mechanisms.
Option B is correct because if the Engineer does not decide, the claim remains unsettled, and the Parties are left to resolve the dispute, often via Dispute Adjudication Board or arbitration.
Option A is incorrect; claims must comply with notice requirements to be valid.
Option C is incorrect because the Engineer may request further particulars but is not obligated to give a final decision on quantum immediately.
Option D is incorrect as the Engineer, not the Employer's Representative, first responds to claims.
Option E is incorrect since the Engineer's decision is not final and binding if disputed; it may be challenged.

NEW QUESTION # 52
The Employer has prepared a contract for a waste-to-energy project based on the FIDIC Yellow Book (edition
1999). You are preparing negotiations on behalf of one of the Subcontractors with the Contractor. The main Contractor will manage the design and build of the Works, whereby the Subcontractor will deliver critical systems regarding power generation and cooling. The Contractor intends to contract the main Contract back- to-back with the Subcontractor. In the proposed back-to-back subcontract, the following amendment is proposed through Particular Conditions:
"Sub-Clause 4.4. The following paragraph is added: The Subcontractor is required to scrutinize the Employer's Requirements in a manner identical to the obligations of the Contractor as stated in Sub-Clause
5.1 of the Main Contract. The Subcontractor will indemnify and hold harmless (up to the maximum liability of the Subcontractor) the Contractor with regard to any error, fault or other defect found in the Employer's Requirements, its items of reference or Contractor's design of the Works for the scope part for which Subcontractor is contracted." What is your advice to the Subcontractor (SC) in regard to entering this proposed subcontract?

• A. I would advise the SC to enter the Contract with the request to the Contractor to delete this amendment in the Particular Conditions. If the Contractor does not agree to do so, at least the Subcontractor has tried its best.
• B. I would advise the SC not to enter this contract because the Contractor is obliged to act in accordance with good faith. A proposed paragraph like this opposes good faith.
• C. I would advise the SC not to enter this contract, because Sub-Clause 4.4 describes the obligations of SC towards Contractor, but this amendment positions the SC in a vulnerable position for claims regarding all errors, faults or other Defects (whether originating from the Employer's Requirements or the design of the Contractor). Essentially, this means the SC becomes liable for the design part, which is within the scope of Contractor even without SC having the opportunity to review it.
• D. I would advise the SC to discuss this amendment with the insurance company just to be sure there will be no transfer of risks. This amendment is mainly a consequence of the FIDIC Yellow Book structure, where the Contractor has obligations in terms of scrutinizing the Employer's Requirements. This amendment makes this obligation more explicit. If the insurance company has no problems with insuring the parts which will be delivered by SC to Contractor, the SC can accept this risk and enter into the subcontract.

Answer: C

Explanation:
In FIDIC Yellow Book (1999), the Contractor is responsible for scrutinizing the Employer's Requirements per Sub-Clause 5.1 and must notify any discrepancies or errors. However, passing this obligation to a Subcontractor, and requiring the Subcontractor to indemnify the Contractor for errors or defects arising from the Employer's Requirements or the Contractor's design, unfairly shifts risk and liability to the Subcontractor.
The Subcontractor is likely not in a position to fully review or control the Employer's Requirements or the overall Contractor's design. This exposes the Subcontractor to excessive risk, beyond their scope and capacity.
Advice C highlights that the Subcontractor becomes vulnerable to claims for design defects outside their control. This misallocation of risk is generally not recommended and can be challenged during contract negotiation. Good contract management practice and risk allocation principles (FIDIC Contract Manager Study Guide, Module on Claims and Dispute Resolution) support this position.
While Options A, B, and D propose different approaches, only C correctly identifies the fundamental contractual and risk management issue that should prevent the Subcontractor from entering the contract as is.

NEW QUESTION # 53
During the execution of certain Works under a FIDIC Yellow Book (edition 1999), a Contract in a historical area along the silk route, one of the workers on the excavator shouts out to the supervisor of the Contractor it has discovered something on the Site. The supervisor inspects the finding and concludes this is possibly an ancient treasure in a wooden box. The supervisor sees some golden coins through the cracked lid of the box.
The supervisor immediately stops the execution of the Works, sends the workers away and blocks access to the Site for all persons. Given the sensitive nature of the findings, the supervisor informs you as Engineer.
How do you react?

• A. You immediately take action and give the instruction to the supervisor to make sure to cover this finding and till the excavation with material. You then redesign and make a determination (Sub-Clause
  3.5) on a change of the Works - if needed - to make sure the execution can restart within days because of the need to finish this project.
• B. You thank the supervisor for their action. You make sure the Site is secured and ask the Contractor to make an improvised barrier around the Site. You ask the Contractor to appoint its most trustworthy guards to set a perimeter. You inform the Employer and local authorities and you ask the Contractor to send you a notice in writing whereby it requests for a Variation (as this is needed for you to instruct the Contractor), thereby already including a fixed proposal for the costs of the guards and barrier, all in accordance with Sub-Clause 4.24.
• C. You inform the supervisor that given the sensitive nature of the findings, you need a formal and written notice as mentioned in Sub-Clause 4.24 second paragraph, otherwise you cannot give further instructions. You ask them to send it to you as soon as possible, because otherwise you are not able to entitle the Contractor to any extension of time and payment of costs.
• D. You compliment the supervisor for their swift and decisive action. However, the Works should advance as soon as possible. You ask the supervisor to excavate the box further, and place it in the back of your truck. You promise the supervisor you will drive the box yourself to the University in the city nearby, because it is very important to preserve found treasures like this. The Contractor is not entitled to an extension of time, as no delay has been incurred.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Under FIDIC Yellow Book 1999, Sub-Clause 4.24 ("Unforeseeable Physical Conditions") deals with unexpected discoveries such as archaeological finds. The Engineer's role includes ensuring site safety, notifying the Employer and relevant authorities, and managing the implications through variations.
Option B reflects best practice: securing the site, appointing guards, notifying Employer and authorities, and requesting a formal Variation Notice to cover costs and entitlement to extension of time.
Options A and D are unsafe or legally risky actions that could damage the find and breach legal obligations.
Option C delays the necessary immediate protective actions.

NEW QUESTION # 54
You are the Contract Manager of the Engineer in a hotel project. In May 2020, the Employer and the Contractor signed a Contract based on the FIDIC Yellow Book (edition 2017), as per which the Contractor will design and build a hotel project with Contract Price of 5,100,000 USD. The Time for Completion for this project is 12 months (May 2021). The Contract also named a nominated Subcontractor (as referred to in Sub- Clause 4.5) who provides mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services for the project (including the fire fighting system), which was accepted by the Contractor without any discussions.
The Project was delayed due to issues with the fire fighting system, and you issued the Taking-Over Certificate in June 2022.
The Employer sent a Notice of Claim to the Contractor on Delay Damages with a maximum value equal to
10% of Contract Price (510,000 USD). The Employer also gave a Notice to the Contractor stating that the Contractor has failed to submit the evidence of payment to the nominated Subcontractor as well as the reason for withholding payment to the nominated Subcontractor. Therefore, the Employer has paid the nominated Subcontractor directly the entire amount due, coming to 100,000 USD. The Employer intends to include this amount as a deduction in the Final Payment to the Contractor.
As Contract Manager of the Engineer, you are tasked to make a fair determination of the Notices of the Employer. In your "Notice of the Engineer's determination", what is your determination for the deduction of the next Interim Payment to the Contractor in relation to the amount directly paid to the nominated Subcontractor?

• A. The Employer is entitled to deduct the amount directly paid.
• B. The Employer is not entitled to deduct the amount directly paid.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
According to FIDIC Yellow Book 2017, Sub-Clause 4.5, the Employer has the right to pay a nominated Subcontractor directly if the Contractor fails to do so and can deduct the amount from payments due to the Contractor. This provision protects nominated Subcontractors and ensures payment continuity. The Contractor's failure to provide evidence of payment and justification for withholding payment justifies the Employer's direct payment and deduction.
Thus, the Engineer's determination should allow the Employer to deduct the 100,000 USD paid directly to the nominated Subcontractor from the Contractor's next Interim Payment, ensuring fairness and contract compliance.

NEW QUESTION # 55
A Contractor under the FIDIC Silver Book (edition 1999) has not been able to finish the Works within the Time for Completion as mentioned in the Contract and has overrun the Time for Completion by 3 months.
This results in a significant claim of $4,500,000 from the Employer. The Employer has submitted this claim to the Contractor according to the procedures as mentioned in the Contract. The Contractor asks you for advice and refers to Clause 8. Which one of the following statements is NOT true?

• A. The root cause of the delay has to be determined by the Contractor, thereby especially verifying if the cause of the delay lies in a delay caused by the Authorities.
• B. If there are Variations agreed between the Contractor and the Employer, the Contractor should check if an adjustment for Time for Completion was part of any of these Variations.
• C. If the delay is entirely caused by the Employer having instructed the Contractor to suspend progress during the Works, while the cause of the suspension is not the responsibility of the Contractor, the claim for delay damages was wrongfully issued.
• D. In addition to the delay damages as mentioned in Sub-Clause 2.5, the Employer has the right to claim any extra costs it has to make due to the delay, as delay damages are not seen as compensation for costs incurred by the Employer, but only as an incentive for the Contractor to perform on time.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Option C is not true because under the FIDIC Silver Book (1999 edition), the delay damages (liquidated damages) specified in the contract are intended as full compensation for the Employer's loss resulting from late completion. The contract usually excludes other claims for actual losses or extra costs beyond the delay damages.
Option A is true; Variations can include extensions of time.
Option B is true; identifying delay causes is essential for claims and defences.
Option D is true; if the Employer causes suspension not attributable to the Contractor, delay damages claims by the Employer are generally unjustified.
Thus, the Employer cannot claim extra costs over and above delay damages as per typical Silver Book provisions.

NEW QUESTION # 56
You are the Contract Manager in a highway project using FIDIC Red Book (edition 1999). You work for the Employer- a highway management agency. During the tender period, you are informed of a specific Commencement Date required by the directors of the agency. Which two of the following approaches to inform the tenderers of this date are clearly and unambiguously drafted?
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

• A. Specify Commencement Date in the Particular Conditions.
• B. Inform the Commencement Date to the tenderers by email, and attach that email in the list of Contract Documents.
• C. Specify Commencement Date in the Minutes of Meeting of Contract Negotiation.
• D. Specify Commencement Date in the Contract Agreement.

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
The Commencement Date is a critical contractual milestone that triggers contractual obligations including the start of time for completion. For clarity and enforceability, it must be specified clearly in contract documents forming part of the formal contract. The Contract Agreement (Option B) and the Particular Conditions (Option C) are the standard places to unambiguously specify the Commencement Date.
Minutes of meetings (Option A) or emails (Option D), while useful for informal communication, do not have the legal certainty or binding contractual effect unless expressly incorporated into the contract documents.
Therefore, specifying the Commencement Date solely in meeting minutes or emails is not advised for clarity and risk mitigation.
