A large sewage pump installation has been constructed under the FIDIC Yellow Book (edition 1999). Prior to commencement of the Tests on Completion, the Employer requires the Contractor to issue the Operation and Maintained Manuals. All contract documents are to be drafted in the English language as per Sub-Clause 1.4.
However, the Employer discovers all documents are drafted in a different language: French. The Contractor explains that the territory where the Plant was constructed is a region with French as a second official language, as result of which, this approach is acceptable. This also works for the proposed maintenance company, which is Paris-based. The Employer is surprised and asks you what to do. Select the best fitting advice you should give the Employer.

• A. If French is indeed an official second language of the region where the Plant is built, the Contractor is entitled to deliver the documents in French. The usability in terms of language is not described in Sub- Clause 5.7, so the Employer should accept the Operation and Mantained Manuals in French.
• B. The Employer should check on the Appendix to Tender, Employer ' s Requirements and / or Particular Conditions. There could very well be specific requirements regarding the language in those. If that is not the case, the language of the Contract determined in Sub-Clause 1.4 and the language of the Operation and Maintained Manuals should in this case be English.
• C. As the Contract is written in the English language, Sub-Clause 1.4 dictates that the Operation and Maintenance Manuals should be written in English as well.
• D. Golden Principle no. 1 states: The duties, rights, obligations, roles and responsibilities of all the Contract Participants must be generally as implied in the General Conditions, and appropriate to the requirements of the project. In this case this means it is appropriate that the Operation and Maintenance Manuals are in French, as the maintenance is based in France.
