Clause 61.2

PM's Response Time

Purpose

The PM responds to the Contractor's notification within one week, either accepting it as a CE or deferring decision.

Practical Application

The PM cannot ignore notifications. Silence may allow the Contractor to proceed as if the CE is accepted.

Common Pitfalls

A 'not yet decided' response keeps the matter open. The PM should make a final decision as soon as possible.
