(Which one of the following statements regarding FIDIC Golden Principles is correct?)

Upon review of the revised programme, submitted by the Contractor, if the Engineer (under FIDIC Red or Yellow Books) or Employer (under FIDIC Silver Book) does not give a Notice of Non-Compliance within 14 days after receiving a revised programme, then ... [complete the sentence, thereby considering FIDIC Red, Yellow, and Silver Books (edition 2017)]. (1 correct answer applies)

You are the Contract Manager of the Engineer in a hotel project. In May 2020, the Employer and the Contractor signed a Contract based on the FIDIC Yellow Book (edition 2017), as per which the Contractor will design and build a hotel project with Contract Price of 5,100,000 USD. The Time for Completion for this project is 12 months (May 2021). The Contract also named a nominated Subcontractor (as referred to in Sub- Clause 4.5) who provides mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services for the project (including the fire fighting system), which was accepted by the Contractor without any discussions.
The Project was delayed due to issues with the fire fighting system, and you issued the Taking-Over Certificate in June 2022.
The Employer sent a Notice of Claim to the Contractor on Delay Damages with a maximum value equal to
10% of Contract Price (510,000 USD). The Employer also gave a Notice to the Contractor stating that the Contractor has failed to submit the evidence of payment to the nominated Subcontractor as well as the reason for withholding payment to the nominated Subcontractor. Therefore, the Employer has paid the nominated Subcontractor directly the entire amount due, coming to 100,000 USD. The Employer intends to include this amount as a deduction in the Final Payment to the Contractor.
As Contract Manager of the Engineer, you are tasked to make a fair determination of the Notices of the Employer. In your " Notice of the Engineer ' s determination " , what is your determination for the deduction of the next Interim Payment to the Contractor in relation to the amount directly paid to the nominated Subcontractor?

The Employer has prepared a contract for a waste-to-energy project based on the FIDIC Yellow Book (edition
1999). You are preparing negotiations on behalf of one of the Subcontractors with the Contractor. The main Contractor will manage the design and build of the Works, whereby the Subcontractor will deliver critical systems regarding power generation and cooling. The Contractor intends to contract the main Contract back- to-back with the Subcontractor. In the proposed back-to-back subcontract, the following amendment is proposed through Particular Conditions:
"Sub-Clause 4.4. The following paragraph is added: The Subcontractor is required to scrutinize the Employer's Requirements in a manner identical to the obligations of the Contractor as stated in Sub-Clause
5.1 of the Main Contract. The Subcontractor will indemnify and hold harmless (up to the maximum liability of the Subcontractor) the Contractor with regard to any error, fault or other defect found in the Employer's Requirements, its items of reference or Contractor's design of the Works for the scope part for which Subcontractor is contracted." What is your advice to the Subcontractor (SC) in regard to entering this proposed subcontract?

A new important feature of the FIDIC Yellow and Silver Books (edition 2017) is the inclusion of the default position that the Works or relevant part of the Works designed by the Contractor shall be fit for their ordinary purposes. Is this statement true or false?
