Well I have gone to the protracted trouble to read the wonderful contract and guide. Not as bad as thought. I was hoping for a few moral dilemmas, the ever present paranoid sense of why doesnt anybody ever agree with me, maybe I should growup but that Contract is beyond a cert a load of beyond aup rubbish. Where do you want to start? It certainly does not relate to my world nor any archaeologist/digger that I have come across and I have met my fill of left wing veggie munchers. Defect Corrections! Somewhere along the food chain there must be projects where there are archaeologists and engineers saying, Do we get the wonderful contract out for this one.
Come to me, I give you good price. No worries.
There must be lawyers versed in contract law that could have been hired by the Ifa to point out the utter stupidities of this pile of tosh. Did the Ifa have lawyers on board for the negotiation? From the names on the panel there is nobody there with any commercial credentials whatever. They are civil servants. As far as I can see the so-called Engineer has guaranteed themselves a handling charge over archaeology of probably between 15 to 25% and a 10% to the consultants. You ifa t**ts.
Sorry that was a general (and edited) warm up.
First observation in mockery. There does not seem to be an example presented of a standard contract between the Employer and the thing called a Consultant. What would one of those contracts look like?
