EIC recalled that the success of the FIDIC 1999 edition lay perhaps in its robustness and simplicity.  Whereas additional prescription is welcome where the FIDIC 1999 conditions were lacking, the introduction of highly complex contractual processes and procedures and the attempt to anticipate all arguments that may be raised by way of dispute, may well prove costly and more difficult to manage.",{"type":265,"content":282},[283],{"text":284,"type":269,"marks":285},"EIC assessment of the FIDIC 2019 “Emerald Book” ",[286],{"type":276},{"type":265,"content":288},[289],{"text":290,"type":269},"Kurt Hechenblaickner, Member of the EIC Working Group “Contract Conditions”, informed the audience about EIC’s assessment of FIDIC’s standard form for Underground Works, the FIDIC “Emerald Book”, which was published in May 2019. The latest addition to the FIDIC suite of standard contract forms is a design-build contract which, however, allows for adjustments of time and cost due to unforeseeable or unexpected subsurface conditions. The concept requires the employer to set out his perspective on project delivery in his Employer’s Requirements and a Geotechnical Baseline Report whilst the contractor is asked to provide firm production rates or durations against each activity or item of excavation or lining work.
