What it's for

Once the Project Manager instructs you to quote for a compensation event, the quotation decides how much time and money you get. Under clause 63.1 it is built from Defined Cost plus the Fee. Delay is measured by the effect on planned Completion on the Accepted Programme. The cover sheet makes sure each part is there and set out the same way every time.

When you need it

Each time you are instructed to submit a quotation, or a revised quotation, for a compensation event. You have three weeks from the instruction unless a longer period has been agreed (clause 62.3).

Who signs it

The contractor’s project manager or commercial lead who prepared the quotation. Submit it through the communication system named in the Scope.

FAQ

How long does the Project Manager have to reply?
Two weeks from submission (clause 62.3). If they do not reply, you can notify the failure. If it continues for a further two weeks, the quotation is treated as accepted (clause 62.6).
Are my own assumptions protected?
No. Only assumptions the Project Manager states in the instruction to quote are protected. If one of those proves wrong, correcting it is itself a compensation event. Price the risk in your own assumptions, or ask the Project Manager to state them.
Should I include risk allowances?
Yes, for matters at your risk that have a significant chance of happening. The table has a line for them.
What is [TO CONFIRM]?
Details only you know, such as references, names and locations. We never guess these. They appear as highlighted [TO CONFIRM] placeholders, and the form opens with a list of every one. Results, readings, dates and signatures are left blank for completion at the time.
Can I edit the document?
Yes. Both options are Word documents you can edit freely.
Do I still need to review it?
Yes. A competent person must check every document against the actual site and works before it is used. ClarusDocs gives you a complete first draft, not a substitute for that check.
