CE Assessment — Missed Early Warning Effect
If the PM stated the Contractor missed an early warning, the CE is assessed as if the early warning had been given. This means the Contractor's recovery may be reduced.
The assessment assumes the Contractor would have mitigated the risk if early warning had been given. The PM can reduce the time and cost allowed accordingly.
This reduces the CE recovery but does NOT eliminate it. The Contractor should still receive some entitlement. The reduction is at the PM's discretion based on what a reasonable contractor would have done.
