This Work Processes Good and Best Practices program processes will show, the many risks that can happen on these projects. By Contracts and Law, Owner takes responsibilities for some of these risks, but, most of the risks fall under the Contractor Liability. The Contract between the parties puts process obligations to communicate or give notices to the other side in case certain types of events occur during performance. Protection of party's rights may be contingent on such timely notices and communications.
Also, disagreements and disputes occur as to interpretation of contractual obligations and impact of events, the liability outcome of these often depends on the contract, actual sequence of events and actions of the parties.
This Job Process Competency program will provide the participant an understanding of the Contract Administration Actions and Processes to follow in case any of above situations arise.
For example if an unanticipated electric cable is found in an excavation and it disrupts contractor's works, and say the Contract allows Contractor to Claim the Impact Cost and Time, the process will detail what site evidence to collect and document before the site is changed and the evidence disappears - maybe in this case: Photographs, Extend to Impacted Works, Idle Equipment only Due to this Cable, mitigation opportunities available, contractor's diligence in resolving the problem, alternate works available and so on.
