The Contractor shall appoint the Contractor’s Representative and shall give him all
authority necessary to act on the Contractor’s behalf under the Contract.
Unless the Contractor’s Representative is named in the Contract, the Contractor shall,
prior to the Commencement Date, submit to the Engineer for consent the name and
particulars of the person the Contractor proposes to appoint as Contractor’s
Representative. If consent is withheld or subsequently revoked in terms of Sub-Clause
6.9 [ Contractor’s Personnel ], or if the appointed person fails to act as Contractor’s
Representative, the Contractor shall similarly submit the name and particulars of
another suitable person for such appointment.
The Contractor shall not, without the prior consent of the Engineer, revoke the
appointment of the Contractor’s Representative or appoint a replacement.
The whole time of the Contractor’s Representative shall be given to directing the
Contractor’s performance of the Contract. If the Contractor’s Representative is to be
temporarily absent from the Site during the execution of the Works, a suitable
replacement person shall be appointed, subject to the Engineer’s prior consent, and
the Engineer shall be notified accordingly.
The Contractor’s Representative shall, on behalf of the Contractor, receive instructions
under Sub-Clause 3.3 [Instructions of the Engineer].
The Contractor’s Representative may delegate any powers, functions and authority to
any competent person, and may at any time revoke the delegation. Any delegation or
revocation shall not take effect until the Engineer has received prior notice signed by
the Contractor’s Representative, naming the person and specifying the powers,
functions and authority being delegated or revoked.
The Contractor’s Representative shall be fluent in the language for communications
defined in Sub-Clause 1.4 [Law and Language]. If the Contractor’s Representative’s
delegates are not fluent in the said language, the Contractor shall make competent
interpreters available during all working hours in a number deemed sufficient by the
Engineer.
