FIDIC CCM Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

Under FIDIC Red Book 1999, advance payment is intended to assist the Contractor in financing the mobilization and early works costs before the Contractor begins receiving regular payments for work performed (Option A). It is not a payment for work already completed, so Option B is incorrect.

The General Conditions provide that the advance payment is usually made in a lump sum or agreed instalments and that the Employer makes the payment in advance (Option C is partially true but generally it can be one or multiple instalments, depending on contract terms).

Importantly, the advance payment must be repaid by the Contractor through deductions from subsequent interim payments (Option D), ensuring the Employer recovers the advanced funds as the work progresses.

Dayworksrefer to works executed on a time basis (e.g., labor and plant) with payment made according to predetermined rates rather than a lump sum or unit rate contract price.

Option Aisincorrect. Even if a Daywork Schedule is not initially included, the dayworks Sub-Clause (e.g., Sub-Clause 13.7 in Red and Yellow Books, 13.8 in Silver Book 1999) still applies to dayworks ordered during the contract execution. The schedule facilitates pricing, but the Sub-Clause governs the method and conditions for dayworks.

Option Biscorrect. The dayworks Sub-Clause is applicable not only to traditional construction works but can also be applied to other types of works, such as variations or additional works that cannot be precisely measured or foreseen and are charged on a time basis.

Option Cisincorrect. The dayworks Sub-Clause is used in all FIDIC standard forms (Red, Yellow, and Silver Books), not only for remeasurement in the Red Book. In the Yellow Book (plant and design-build) and Silver Book (EPC/turnkey), dayworks are similarly applicable for certain variations or unforeseen works.

Option Discorrect. The Engineer (in Red and Yellow Books) or the Employer (in the Silver Book, where the Engineer’s role is limited) may instruct that a variation be executed on a daywork basis. This instruction is typically used when the scope or quantity cannot be reasonably pre-determined.

Under the FIDIC Red Book (1999), the Tender Documents typically include:

The Bill of Quantities (Option B), which provides detailed quantities for priced items and forms a basis for tender pricing.

The Specifications (Option E), which define the technical requirements for the Works.

The Schedule of Guarantees (Option A) is usually provided later, during contract formation, not as part of tender documents.

Employer’s Requirements (Option C) are more commonly referenced in design-build contracts such as the Yellow Book, not the Red Book which is traditionally a design-bid-build contract.

Schedule of Baselines (Option D) is not a standard tender document in FIDIC Red Book contracts.
