Section 6Compensation Events

Clause 60.1(20)

CE — Quotation for a Proposed Instruction Not Accepted

Purpose

The Project Manager notifies the Contractor that a quotation for a proposed instruction is not accepted.

Practical Application

Where the PM sought a quotation for a proposed instruction under clause 65 and does not accept it, that notification is a compensation event.

Common Pitfalls

If the quotation is not accepted, the PM may still issue the instruction and notify it as a compensation event under clause 65.3.
