My query relates to where the contract sets out procedures for changing access dates as a result of a compensation event. Example is:
X5 is a selected secondary option.
There are 3 sections (1/2/3), contract data sets out that section 2 access date immediately follows the completion date of section 1, the same relationship exists between the completion of section 2 and access of section 3.
As such if a critical delay is incurred in section 1 of 4 weeks, then all other things being equal, section 2 and 3 access dates will be delayed by 4 weeks and so the completion dates will be extended by the same period.
Under say an Option B, Cl 65.4 makes it clear that the implementation of the compensation event includes changes to the Completion Date within the notification however it does not mention changes to the access dates.
My concern would be that once the above example is implemented would it leave the PM exposed to a CE later down the line under 60.1(2) or can the access dates also be changed within the implementation process.
