On a separate issue, during February, the Project Manager instructs a change to the Scope for some weather- dependent additional works. These works are planned for April and the Contractor includes a reasonable time risk allowance of 2 days in the quotation, as the additional works cannot be carried out below a certain temperature. The Project Manager considers the Contractor's quotation is realistic but withholds acceptance and waits to see if the 2 days risk allowance are used. If not, the Project Manager intends to make an assessment based on actual Defined Cost plus the resulting Fee. d. Is the Project Manager's planned strategy valid? Explain your answer [7 marks] e What can the Contractor do if the Project Manager fails to reply to the quotation or provide an assessment of this compensation event, and what effect might this ultimately have on the Prices and Completion Date?
