NEW QUESTION # 36
Towards the end of implementing a varied work (initiated originally by the Contractor as a "Value Engineering Proposal", relevant designs provided by the Contractor) it turned out, that there is some part of it not complying with the otherwise prevailing standards. Which statements are correct in this situation? [FIDIC Red Book, 2017 Edition] Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

• A. The Contractor shall immediately rectify, ensuring, that the varied work fully complies with the prevailing standards.
• B. Since the design was approved by the Engineer, the Contractor might not be found responsible for such discrepancy, hence, to be fully compensated.
• C. In case it is necessary, the Contractor shall prepare designs for works subject to the Value Engineering, hence, it is up to the Contractor to ensure that the works are fit for the purposes, including that the designs are correct, regardless of any approval or "no-objection" of the Engineer.
• D. In this situation, the whole of the varied works should be removed, and the original technical content reinstated.

Answer: A,C

Explanation:
Option C is correct: The Contractor is obligated to rectify any non-compliance with prevailing standards promptly.
Option D is correct: The Contractor carries responsibility for design fitness and correctness, even if the Engineer has approved or not objected to the design.
Option A is incorrect; Engineer approval does not absolve the Contractor from responsibility for defective design or works.
Option B is not necessarily required; only non-compliant parts need correction, not entire varied works.

NEW QUESTION # 37
The details of all the matters that have been clarified and agreed between the Employer and tenderers during the tender stage are recorded by, for instance, a memorandum of understanding. The Employer may award the contract to the tenderer through a letter of formal acceptance, signed by the Employer. This process is in compliance with which one of the following Golden Principles (GP's)?

• A. GP 2
• B. GPA
• C. GP 3
• D. GP 1

Answer: D

Explanation:
FIDIC's Golden Principles (GPs) guide good contract management and administration.Golden Principle 1 (GP1)emphasizes"Clear communication and documentation"to avoid misunderstandings and disputes. It specifically promotes thorough documentation of all agreements and clarifications reached during the tender process. The use of a memorandum of understanding or similar record ensures transparency and mutual understanding. Furthermore, the formal award of the contract by a signed letter of acceptance aligns with the principle of clear and formal contract formation.
* GP1ensures that all key matters, changes, and agreements are properly documented during the tender phase and contract award to form an unambiguous contractual basis.
* GP2 and GP3relate more to ongoing contract administration, risk management, and dispute resolution rather than the contract formation process.
* GPA(Golden Principle A) is not a standard FIDIC term associated with contract formation or tender stage documentation.
Therefore, the described process aligns best withGolden Principle 1 (GP1).

NEW QUESTION # 38
Under the FIDIC Construction Contract, which one of the following statements is correct?

• A. Payments of a DAB Member's retainer fee is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.
• B. For an ad-hoc DAB, a retainer fee for each DAB Member must be paid to the Member on the first day of each calendar month.
• C. A DAB must give its decision in writing on any dispute when requested by one of the Parties.
• D. Payment to DAB Members must be certified by the Employer.
• E. If all persons nominated to serve as members of an ad hoc DAB do not sign a DAB Agreement, an appointing entity can make appointments.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Under the FIDIC Conditions of Contract (particularly 2017 editions), the Dispute Adjudication Board (DAB) is a standing or ad hoc body that provides binding decisions on disputes. One key requirement is that the DAB must give its decisions in writing upon request by either Party, ensuring clarity and enforceability.
Option E is correct as the DAB's decision must be documented formally.
Option A is incorrect; the cost of the DAB is generally shared by Employer and Contractor as per the contract.
Option B is incorrect because retainer fees can be paid on different schedules, not necessarily monthly on the first day.
Option C is incorrect; payments to DAB members do not require Employer's certification but are agreed as part of the DAB contract.
Option D is partially true but not a standalone correct statement without additional context.

NEW QUESTION # 39
Which one statement is correct regarding the FIDIC Red Book (edition 2017)?

• A. Instructions to Tenderers may require the tenderer to provide information on matters in Sub-Clause 4.3 on Contractor's Representative and Sub-Clause 6.12 on Key Personnel.
• B. No Data other than required by the General Conditions of Contract may be entered in the Contract Data.
• C. General Conditions of Contract cannot be amended as it may imbalance the obligations and rights of the Parties.
• D. Instructions to Tenderers are part of the Employer's Requirements.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
In the FIDIC Red Book 2017, Instructions to Tenderers are part of the tender documents but are distinct from the Employer's Requirements. They guide tenderers on how to prepare and submit their tenders. Specifically, Instructions to Tenderers may require tenderers to provide detailed information about their organization, key personnel, and the Contractor's Representative (see Sub-Clause 4.3 on Contractor's Representative and Sub- Clause 6.12 on Key Personnel), which is essential for evaluating the capability and resources of the tenderer.
Option A is incorrect because Instructions to Tenderers are separate from Employer's Requirements; the latter define the scope and technical needs of the project.
Option B is incorrect; Contract Data may include specific data relevant to the particular project beyond just the General Conditions, including amendments and project-specific information.
Option D is incorrect because the General Conditions can be amended through the Particular Conditions (within limits), provided the amendments are balanced and agreed upon by both Parties.

NEW QUESTION # 40
Both FIDIC Silver Book (SB) and Yellow Book (YB) (edition 1999) mention the Contractor scrutinising the Employer's Requirements. Which statement is correct?

• A. Scrutinising in FIDIC Yellow Book 1999 means that the Contractor has the opportunity after contract close to report on any errors, mistakes or conflicts in the Employer's Requirements. In the FIDIC Silver Book 1999 scrutinising provides that obligation during the tender period; Contractor has the opportunity to report on any errors, mistakes or conflicts in the Employer's Requirements and for Employer to change it; for after contract closes this is not a duty anymore of Employer.
• B. Scrutinising in FIDIC Yellow Book 1999 means the same as in FIDIC Silver Book 1999. In both models it means that after the contract closes and before starting the actual making of the design, the Contractor has to read the Employer's Requirements very thoroughly and check on any errors, omissions or conflicts.
• C. Scrutinising in FIDIC Silver Book 1999 means that the Contractor should read the Employer's Requirements very thoroughly after the contract closes and see if the Employer's Requirements is complete or if something is missing.
• D. Scrutinising in FIDIC Yellow Book 1999 and Silver Book 1999 means that the Contractor must ask the Employer to check the Employer's Requirements very well to see if the Works can be built on that location according to the Employer's Requirements.

Answer: A

Explanation:
mprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Option D correctly captures the difference between Yellow and Silver Books (1999):
In the Yellow Book, the Contractor may raise concerns after contract close.
In the Silver Book, the Contractor must scrutinize and report on Employer's Requirements during the tender period, and after contract close this duty lapses.
Other options misunderstand timing or scope of scrutiny.

NEW QUESTION # 41
Under FIDIC Red and Yellow Books (edition 2017), which two of the following elements shall form part of the revised programme?
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities)

• A. The actual progress to date, any delay to such progress and the effects of such delay on other activities (if any).
• B. All internationally recognized holiday periods.
• C. The sequence and timing of the remedial work.
• D. Only the delivery dates of Plant and Materials which have not been delivered on Site yet.

Answer: A,B

Explanation:
Under Sub-Clause 8.3 of the FIDIC Red and Yellow Books 2017, the revised programme must reflect:
The planned sequence and timing of works including recognized holidays (Option A) to ensure realistic scheduling.
The actual progress to date, delays, and impacts on subsequent activities (Option B) so that stakeholders can manage resources and risks effectively.
Option C (remedial work) is typically not part of the main programme but may be in a separate defect rectification schedule.
Option D is too narrow; the programme should include all activities, not only undelivered materials.

NEW QUESTION # 42
Which of the following situations form legally binding contracts? (2 correct answers apply) Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities)

• A. The Employer and the Contractor signed the Contract Agreement.
• B. The Employer received the Contractor's Letter of Tender and issued Letter of Acceptance.
• C. The Employer received the Contractor's Letter of Tender and issued a Letter of Intent.
• D. The Employer received the Contractor's Letter of Tender and issued a conditional Letter of Acceptance.

Answer: A,B

Explanation:
A legally binding contract is typically formed when there is an offer, acceptance, and intention to create legal relations. Under FIDIC contracts:
Option B (signing the Contract Agreement) unequivocally forms a binding contract.
Option D (Letter of Acceptance issued after receiving the Contractor's Letter of Tender) generally forms a binding contract unless otherwise specified, as the Letter of Acceptance is the formal acceptance of the tender.
Option A (Letter of Intent) is not necessarily a binding contract; it often serves as an interim arrangement signaling intent but may lack definitive terms to form a contract.
Option C (conditional Letter of Acceptance) may not form a binding contract unless the conditions are fulfilled.

NEW QUESTION # 43
Is the Employer obliged under FIDIC Silver Book (edition 1999) to describe which Documents are to be submitted to the Employer? (1 correct response applies)

• A. Yes, because otherwise the Contractor doesn't have to submit any Document until Completion of the Works as stated in Sub-Clause 1.8.
• B. No, because the Contractor has a duty to supply the Employer with every Document, given Sub-Clause
  7.4.
• C. Yes, the Employer should define which documents it wants to receive from the Contractor as Contractor's Documents in the Employer's Requirements, as stated in Sub-Clause 5.2.
• D. No, according to Sub-Clause 5.7 provisional operation and maintenance manuals are always required.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Under the FIDIC Silver Book 1999 (Conditions of Contract for EPC/Turnkey Projects), the Employer must specify clearly in the Employer's Requirements which Contractor's Documents are to be submitted. Sub- Clause 5.2 states that the Contractor must submit all documents listed in the Employer's Requirements, ensuring clarity and enabling the Employer to control the documentation process.
Option D is correct because it highlights the need for Employer's Requirements to define the scope and content of the Contractor's Documents.
Option A is incorrect; although operation and maintenance manuals are generally required, they are part of the specified Contractor's Documents, not automatically required without Employer's direction.
Option B is incorrect as the Contractor's duty to supply documents is limited to those specified.
Option C is incorrect because documentation obligations are ongoing and not just at completion.

NEW QUESTION # 44
The amount of an advance payment guarantee provided for pursuant to FIDIC Red and Yellow Books (both editions) may be reduced as of:

• A. The Commencement Date
• B. The date on which an amount is repaid by the Contractor as stated in the Payment Certificates
• C. The date of the Taking Over Certificate
• D. The date on which the entire advance payment is repaid as stated in the Payment Certificate

Answer: B

Explanation:
According to FIDIC Red and Yellow Books (both 1999 and 2017 editions), the advance payment guarantee amount may be progressively reduced as the Contractor repays the advance payment through deductions from interim payment certificates. This means the guarantee is reduced as per amounts repaid, not only upon full repayment.
Option D is correct: The guarantee reduces as partial repayments are certified in Payment Certificates.
Option C is incorrect because the reduction happens gradually, not only after full repayment.
Options A and B do not directly relate to the reduction mechanism of the advance payment guarantee.

NEW QUESTION # 45
Applying FIDIC Silver Book (edition 1999), which one of the following elements shallnotform part of the time Programme/revised programme?

• A. The sequence and timing of inspections and tests.
• B. Review periods under Sub-Clause 5.2.
• C. The remedial work (if any) instructed under Sub-Clause 7.6.
• D. The intended order of the works.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
According to the FIDIC Silver Book, 1999 Edition (The Conditions of Contract for EPC/Turnkey Projects), the Contractor is required under Sub-Clause 8.3 ("Programme") to submit a time programme that illustrates the sequence and timing of the works, including milestones and key events. The intended order of the works (Option A), sequence and timing of inspections and tests (Option B), and review periods (Option D) related to contract management processes such as approval of design or submissions (Sub-Clause 5.2) are integral to effective scheduling and coordination.
However,remedial work instructed under Sub-Clause 7.6, which concerns remedying defects or damage, is generally not part of the initial or revised programme. Instead, remedial works are typically handled as separate tasks or incorporated into specific defect liability or rectification schedules after the main programme has been executed. Such remedial works arise from defects liability obligations and do not belong to the original or revised time programme used to plan the main construction phases.
This distinction is important because the programme reflects planned works execution, whereas remedial work is reactive and may be scheduled separately under defects liability clauses or final project close-out arrangements.

NEW QUESTION # 46
The FIDIC Red Book (edition 1999) deals with Value Engineering Clause. It follows from this clause that the Contractor shall give notice to the Engineer with supporting particulars. Upon receiving this notice, the Engineer shall proceed in accordance with Sub-Clause 3.5 to agree or determine this Cost, which shall be included in the Contract Price.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer: A

Explanation:
Under FIDIC Red Book (1999), the Value Engineering Clause requires the Contractor to notify the Engineer with full details and cost implications when proposing Value Engineering changes. The Engineer then follows the Variation procedure in Sub-Clause 3.5 to agree or determine the cost adjustment, which will be reflected in the Contract Price.
This ensures transparent handling of Value Engineering proposals and proper contractual adjustments.

NEW QUESTION # 47
You are the Contract Manager of the Employer for a Data Centre Project using the FIDIC Yellow Book (edition 2017). As a Contract Manager during the procurement stage, you are to explain the difference between Dispute Avoidance and Adjudication Board (DAAB) and other alternative dispute resolutions for this type of project. Which one of the following statements of its explanation is NOT correct?

• A. Avoidance of Disputes on the project and resolution of Disputes at or soon after the time they arise is a two-part role of the DAAB.
• B. DAAB is to provide for a fair, timely and efficient resolution of Disputes.
• C. The function of the DAAB is to remain in place as part of the Parties' project team to assist both Parties, equally and impartially.
• D. DAAB provided supports for Parties during arbitration, as a witness to give factual evidence on the background for the DAAB's Decision.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Option D is NOT correct. The DAAB does not act as a witness or provide support during arbitration. Its role is to avoid and adjudicate disputes early during the project lifecycle impartially and fairly, but it does not serve as witness support in arbitration proceedings.

NEW QUESTION # 48
Which two of the following statements are correct regarding Dispute under the FIDIC Red, Yellow, and Silver Books (edition 2017)?
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities)

• A. In case the Engineer refuses to issue a Performance Certificate or to issue one with a correct date under Sub-Clause 11.9, and the Contractor has disagreed with the requested entitlement or relief in connection with this refusal, Dispute shall be deemed to have arisen.
• B. Both 'Disagreement' and 'Dispute' are defined terms under the Conditions of Contract.
• C. If a Party is dissatisfied with the determination and has given Notice of Dissatisfaction (NOD) to the other party within a strict 28-day time limit, a Dispute arises and either Party may proceed under Sub- Clause 21.4 to obtain a DAAB decision on it.
• D. The Dispute must be submitted to the Dispute Avoidance and Adjudication Board (DAAB) within 42 days, otherwise the NOD is deemed to have lapsed and is no longer valid.

Answer: A,C

Explanation:
Option A is correct. Under Sub-Clause 11.9 (Performance Certificate) refusal or incorrect issuance by the Engineer, combined with disagreement by the Contractor, may cause a Dispute to arise.
Option B is correct. If a Party is dissatisfied with a determination, it must give a Notice of Dissatisfaction (NOD) within 28 days to escalate the matter to a Dispute, allowing either Party to refer it to the DAAB as per Sub-Clause 21.4.
Option C is incorrect. The contract does not specify a 42-day time limit for submission to DAAB after NOD; timelines vary by contract and stage.
Option D is incorrect. 'Disagreement' is not a formally defined term in FIDIC contracts, whereas 'Dispute' is.

NEW QUESTION # 49
Under the FIDIC Red Book (edition 1999), if the Contractor as per Sub-Clause 14.2 has to ensure the Employer receives an Advance Payment Guarantee as per the standard model, what type of instrument should this be?

• A. A bank guarantee
• B. A parent company guarantee
• C. A surety bond
• D. A declaration of joint and several liability

Answer: A

Explanation:
According to FIDIC Red Book 1999, Sub-Clause 14.2, the Advance Payment Guarantee must be a bank guarantee issued by a reputable bank acceptable to the Employer. This bank guarantee serves as security to ensure that the advance payment made by the Employer will be repaid if the Contractor fails to fulfill contractual obligations. The bank guarantee is a commonly used, reliable instrument providing direct financial assurance to the Employer.
Other instruments like surety bonds or parent company guarantees may be acceptable only if explicitly agreed, but the standard requirement is a bank guarantee.
Declaration of joint and several liability is not a typical form of guarantee for advance payments.

NEW QUESTION # 50
Which of the following cases will allow the Employer to claim under the Performance Security? [2017 Edition] (2 correct answers apply) Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

• A. The Contractor failed to extend the validity of the Performance Security.
• B. The Engineer had issued instruction to replace part of the Works.
• C. The Contractor abandons the Works and the Employer did not issue Notice of termination.
• D. The Employer had submitted a claim under Sub-Clause 20.2.
• E. The Contractor failed to renew the Tender Security.

Answer: A,E

Explanation:
Under FIDIC 2017 editions, the Performance Security protects the Employer against failure by the Contractor to fulfill contractual obligations. The Employer may claim under the Performance Security in the following cases:
Option A: Failure to renew the Tender Security as required during the tendering or contract formation phase can allow Employer to make a claim, since the security guarantees the Contractor's commitments at this stage.
Option E: Failure to extend the validity of the Performance Security when requested or required breaches contractual obligations and enables the Employer to claim under the security.
Option B is incorrect because abandonment without termination notice does not immediately entitle the Employer to claim under Performance Security; formal termination is usually required first.
Option C is incorrect because submitting a claim under Sub-Clause 20.2 (Employer's claims) does not directly correlate with claiming under Performance Security.
Option D is irrelevant; instructions to replace works do not relate to Performance Security claims.

NEW QUESTION # 51
Which two of the following statements are correct regarding the dayworks under FIDIC Red, Yellow, and Silver Books (both editions)?
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

• A. The dayworks related Sub-Clause is also applicable to other types of works.
• B. If a Daywork Schedule is not included in the Contract, the Sub-Clause related to dayworks shall not apply.
• C. The dayworks related Sub-Clause is only used for remeasurement in the FIDIC Red Book (both editions) only.
• D. The Engineer (or the Employer in case of FIDIC Silver Book) may instruct that "a Variation shall" be executed on a daywork basis.

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
Dayworksrefer to works executed on a time basis (e.g., labor and plant) with payment made according to predetermined rates rather than a lump sum or unit rate contract price.
* Option Aisincorrect. Even if a Daywork Schedule is not initially included, the dayworks Sub-Clause (e.g., Sub-Clause 13.7 in Red and Yellow Books, 13.8 in Silver Book 1999) still applies to dayworks ordered during the contract execution. The schedule facilitates pricing, but the Sub-Clause governs the method and conditions for dayworks.
* Option Biscorrect. The dayworks Sub-Clause is applicable not only to traditional construction works but can also be applied to other types of works, such as variations or additional works that cannot be precisely measured or foreseen and are charged on a time basis.
* Option Cisincorrect. The dayworks Sub-Clause is used in all FIDIC standard forms (Red, Yellow, and Silver Books), not only for remeasurement in the Red Book. In the Yellow Book (plant and design- build) and Silver Book (EPC/turnkey), dayworks are similarly applicable for certain variations or unforeseen works.
* Option Discorrect. The Engineer (in Red and Yellow Books) or the Employer (in the Silver Book, where the Engineer's role is limited) may instruct that a variation be executed on a daywork basis. This instruction is typically used when the scope or quantity cannot be reasonably pre-determined.

Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

• A. The appointment of the Contractor and receipt of the Advance Payment Guarantee, by the Employer, in the form, and issued by an entity, in accordance with Sub-Clause 14.2.1.
• B. The appointment of the Contractor's Representative and receipt of the Performance Security, by the Employer, in the form, and issued by an entity, in accordance with Sub-Clause 4.2.1.
• C. Receipt of a statement via a letter showing the amounts to which the Contractor considers itself to be entitled.
• D. Receipt of a statement and supporting documents.

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Option A is correct: Certification and payment of interim payments are conditional on Employer's receipt of the Contractor's appointment and the Advance Payment Guarantee (Sub-Clause 14.2.1).
Option D is correct: Payment also requires receipt of the Contractor's statement supported by relevant documentation.
Option B alone is insufficient without supporting documents.
Option C relates to appointment and performance security but is not a stated precondition for payment certification.

NEW QUESTION # 53
Regarding the FIDIC Red Book (edition 1999): which two statements are true in respect of Building Information Modelling (BIM)?
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

• A. BIM is not related to the improvement of quality, accuracy, delivery times and cost savings.
• B. BIM is one of the digital data technologies used in all aspects of project planning, investigation, design, construction and operation.
• C. For construction or building projects involving BIM, many Sub-Clauses of FIDIC Red Book (edition

• D. General Conditions of Contract require the use of BIM.

Answer: B,C

Explanation:
Option B is correct: BIM is indeed a digital data technology applicable throughout the project lifecycle.
Option D is correct: Use of BIM requires careful consideration of contract clauses and appropriate adjustments in Particular Conditions.
Option A is incorrect; the 1999 edition does not mandate BIM use.
Option C is false; BIM improves quality, accuracy, delivery times, and cost efficiency.

NEW QUESTION # 54
When does discharge become effective under the FIDIC Red Book (edition 1999)? (1 correct answer applies)

• A. When the Contractor receives full payment certified through the Final Payment Certificate and return of the Performance Security.
• B. When the Contractor receives full payment certified through the Final Payment Certificate.
• C. When the Contractor receives its Performance Security from the Employer.
• D. When the Employer counter signs a discharge notice as issued by the Contractor, following full payment and return of the Performance Security.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Under the FIDIC Red Book 1999, discharge becomes effective when the Contractor has received full payment certified by the Final Payment Certificate and the return of the Performance Security (Sub-Clause 14.10).
Both elements must be completed for the contract to be considered fully discharged, releasing the Contractor from further obligations or liabilities under the contract.
Option A is incomplete as payment alone does not fully discharge the Contractor.
Option B is incomplete as return of Performance Security alone is insufficient.
Option D is incorrect because the contract does not require a discharge notice signed by the Employer beyond these conditions.

NEW QUESTION # 55
If a FIDIC Red, Yellow, or Silver Book (edition 2017) is applied, in which of the following two cases is the Contractor required to submit a revised programme?
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).

• A. Upon a request from the Engineer (under FIDIC Red or Yellow Books) or Employer (under FIDIC Silver Book) notifying it that the Programme fails to comply with the Contract, to a specified extent, or no longer reflects actual progress or is otherwise inconsistent with the Contractor's obligations.
• B. The Contractor shall revise the Programme only by request from the Engineer or the Employer (in case of FIDIC Silver Book).
• C. To accurately reflect the actual progress of the Works, but only if any Programme ceases to reflect actual progress with at least 42 days.
• D. To accurately reflect the actual progress of the Works, whenever any Programme ceases to reflect actual progress or is otherwise inconsistent with the Contractor's obligations.

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Option C is correct: The Contractor must revise the programme whenever it no longer accurately reflects progress or obligations.
Option D is correct: The Contractor must also revise the programme upon formal request if it fails contract compliance or progress reflection.
Option A is incorrect; the Contractor has ongoing obligations beyond formal requests.
Option B is incorrect; no 42-day threshold applies in the contract for revision.

NEW QUESTION # 56
Under the FIDIC Red and Yellow Books (edition 1999), which two of the following statements are correct regarding the issuance of Interim Payment by the Engineer?
(Choose all correct answers - multiple possibilities)

• A. The Employer is bound by the Certificate issued by the Engineer, and must make payment in full, except for any compensation arising from any claim which the Employer may have against the Contractor.
• B. The Employer is not bound by the Certificate issued by the Engineer.
• C. The Employer is bound by the Certificate issued by the Engineer and must make payment in full, irrespective of any entitlement to compensation arising from any claim which the Employer may have against the Contractor.
• D. If the Employer considers itself entitled to claim against the Contractor, notice and particulars must first be submitted under Sub-Clause 2.5. The Employer's entitlement is then to be agreed or determined by the Engineer, and then, incorporated as a deduction in a Payment Certificate.

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
Under the FIDIC Red Book and Yellow Book, 1999 editions, the Engineer issues Interim Payment Certificates certifying the amounts due to the Contractor for completed works and materials on site (Sub- Clause 14.6). The Employer is generally bound by the Payment Certificate and must pay accordingly, except where there is a lawful set-off or compensation claim against the Contractor.
Option A is correct because the Employer must pay the amount certified except for compensation claims that may be offset against the payment (Sub-Clause 14.6).
Option D is also correct: If the Employer intends to claim against the Contractor (e.g., for damages or defects), it must notify the Contractor under Sub-Clause 2.5 and provide particulars. The Engineer then assesses and decides on the claim and incorporates any agreed deductions into the Payment Certificate.
Option B is incorrect because the Employer is indeed bound by the Payment Certificate unless lawful deductions or disputes arise.
Option C is incorrect as the Employer can withhold amounts due for compensation claims once these are properly notified and substantiated.
