Dear Sir,
Once penalty for delay in completion is applied to the Contractor and paid by them, then wheather he has the right get back the guarantee amount? And one year maintenance period also he can avoid?

Thank you v. much for your clear advice ,

let’s go a little far for the same case ,what if the contractual completion date for that project had already expired while the contractor still didn’t even start to complete those omitted items , what will be the contror’ entitlement to claim in such condition?

Actually it is not under fidic,but I would like to know the fidic opinion in that regards,it is re-measured contract.
Thanks and Regrads,

There is no clause giving you the entitlement to vary the rate under such circumstances following FIDIC 1987.

Under FIDIC 1999, please refer to clause 12.3 which explains the circumstances of varying the rate and I believe your case is covered.
