For the relationship of this clause to cl. 7, dealing with cost due to delay in issuing drawings or instructions, see p. 49, N. 11.
7. “AT THE TIME OF TENDER”. See p. 57, N. 2.
8. INSTRUCTIONS AND DIRECTIONS BY ENGINEER’S AIDES. Instructions by the engineer’s delegates and representative’s assistants are included—they are deemed to be instructions of the engineer and the engineer’s representative respectively, by cl. 2 (2) and (3).
9. PAYMENT “SUBJECT TO CLAUSE 52 (4)…IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE 60”, i.e. notice of money claims, and inclusion of payments in interim and the final payment certificate, subject to retention.
10. PAYMENT TO CONTRACTOR OF “COST AS MAY BE REASONABLE”. See p. 50.
11. “IF SUCH INSTRUCTIONS OR DIRECTIONS REQUIRE ANY VARIATION… SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 51”. Placed here, “such instructions or directions” logically means “instructions or directions which involve the Contractor in delay or disrupt his arrangements or methods” etc. only, and this wording emphasises that disruption is to be allowed for in valuing variations (p. 176). For the relevance of this sentence to the difficult problem of the meaning of this sub-clause see N. 6.
