FIDIC Prolongation Costs: overheads, preliminaries va actual cost evidence

Prolongation costs FIDIC claims ichidagi eng ko’p tortishiladigan qismlardan biri. Contractor ko’pincha shunday o’ylaydi: agar project Employer risk sabab 90 kunga cho’zilgan bo’lsa, 90 kunlik site overheads va head office overheads avtomatik recover qilinadi.

Amalda bunday emas. Time entitlementdan tashqari, qaysi costs compensable delay sabab actual yuzaga kelganini isbotlash kerak.

Prolongation costs nima

Prolongation costs - contractor projectda uzoqroq qolishi bilan bog’liq xarajatlar, agar bu contractor riskiga kirmaydigan event sabab bo’lsa.

Odatda:

• site management staff;
• temporary facilities;
• site offices and utilities;
• supervision;
• security;
• insurance extensions;
• equipment standby yoki extended hire;
• project-specific overheads;
• ayrim holatlarda head office overheads.

Har bir element affected period bilan bog’lanishi va records bilan tasdiqlanishi kerak.

EOT avtomatik payment emas

EOT va delay analysis muddatga ta’sirni qanday isbotlashni tushuntiradi. Lekin time entitlement va money entitlement alohida savollar.

Jamoa ko’rsatishi kerak:

1. qaysi event cost entitlement beradi;
2. qaysi period compensable;
3. qaysi resources majburan retained bo’lgan;
4. qaysi costs additional;
5. qaysi costs baribir contractor tomonidan sarflanardi.

EOT berilishi EOT perioddagi barcha costs recoverable degani emas.

Actual cost evidence formuladan kuchliroq

Head office overhead formulae ayrim systems va circumstancesda ishlatilishi mumkin, lekin international contract administration amaliyotida actual evidence kuchliroq.

Site preliminaries uchun:

• site management payroll records;
• site offices, utilities, security invoices;
• equipment hire agreements;
• insurance endorsements;
• timesheets;
• allocation records;
• resource nega demobilise qilinmaganini tushuntirish;
• affected period bilan link.

Head office overheads uchun yanada ehtiyotkorlik kerak. “Head office projectni uzoqroq support qildi” deyish yetarli emas. Actual management resources yoki project extension boshqa ish olish imkoniyatiga qanday ta’sir qilganini ko’rsatish kerak.

Affected period har doim project oxiri emas

Ko’p xato - prolongation costsni projectning oxirgi kunlari bo’yicha hisoblash. Delay oldinroq ta’sir qilib, keyin absorbed, resequenced yoki boshqa events bilan overlapped bo’lishi mumkin.

To’g’ri savol: compensable event qachon resourcesdan foydalanishni actual uzaytirdi?

Bu:

• access denial period;
• instructions kutish periodi;
• resequencing window;
• extended supervision;
• programme ichidagi specific window bo’lishi mumkin.

Time analysissiz bu period dispute bo’ladi.

Heads of claimni aralashtirmang

Prolongation claim ko’pincha quyidagilar aralashgani uchun zaiflashadi:

• prolongation costs;
• disruption/productivity loss;
• acceleration;
• variations;
• financing costs;
• loss of profit;
• idle resources.

Har category alohida proof talab qiladi. Masalan, productivity loss disruption claim sifatida tahlil qilingani yaxshiroq.

Practical evidence pack

Yaxshi submission:

1. Summary of entitlement.
2. Delay analysis va affected period.
3. Cost schedule by categories.
4. Har cost item bo’yicha supporting records.
5. Mitigation explanation.
6. Exclusions and deductions.
7. Accounting records bilan reconciliation.

“cost item - period - cause - record - amount” jadvali claim global budget recalculation emasligini ko’rsatadi.

FAQ

Head office overheads recover qilinadimi?

Mumkin, lekin contract, law, facts va evidencega bog’liq. Ularni avtomatik claim qilish noto’g’ri.

EOT muhimroqmi yoki cost records?

Ikkalasi ham. EOT time impactni, cost records financial consequenceni ko’rsatadi.

Mitigation isbotlanadimi?

Ha. Contractor reasonable tarzda costni kamaytirishi mumkin bo’lib, qilmagan bo’lsa, recoverable cost bahsli bo’ladi.
