CCM Exam Dumps : Certified Contract Manager

Under Sub-Clause 8.3 of the FIDIC Red and Yellow Books 2017, the revised programme must reflect:

The planned sequence and timing of works including recognized holidays (Option A) to ensure realistic scheduling.

The actual progress to date, delays, and impacts on subsequent activities (Option B) so that stakeholders can manage resources and risks effectively.

Option C (remedial work) is typically not part of the main programme but may be in a separate defect rectification schedule.

Option D is too narrow; the programme should include all activities, not only undelivered materials.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

Under the FIDIC Silver Book (1999 edition), the Employer may appoint an Employer's Representative to act on their behalf, but this is discretionary and not mandatory (Option B). The Employer’s Representative acts within the authority delegated by the Employer but cannot amend the Contract unless expressly authorized.

Option A is partly correct but less complete than B.

Option C is incorrect; the appointment is not compulsory.

Option D is incorrect; the Employer is not contractually obliged to consult the Contractor for appointment approval.

Under the FIDIC Conditions of Contract (particularly 2017 editions), the Dispute Adjudication Board (DAB) is a standing or ad hoc body that provides binding decisions on disputes. One key requirement is that the DAB must give its decisions in writing upon request by either Party, ensuring clarity and enforceability.

Option E is correct as the DAB’s decision must be documented formally.

Option A is incorrect; the cost of the DAB is generally shared by Employer and Contractor as per the contract.

Option B is incorrect because retainer fees can be paid on different schedules, not necessarily monthly on the first day.

Option C is incorrect; payments to DAB members do not require Employer’s certification but are agreed as part of the DAB contract.

Option D is partially true but not a standalone correct statement without additional context.
