Upon awarding a construction contract, the project manager shall ask for the contractor’s Baseline Programme. My query is can the contractor supersede the first baseline with a second (revised) baseline i.e the PM use this revised programme for monitoring progress instead of the original baseline. This is particularly so when the contractor is in delay and revises his construction method s in order to recover his delayed progress. Some call this revised baseline programme as Recovery Programme. Can we use this Recovery Programme as baseline programme i.e. to monitor his pgrogress? Thank you

Oldest first- 0Rafael Davila ·Superseeded only upon acceptance, still an agreement between two parties.
Baseline Schedule :( as defined under http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/baseline-schedule.html , a kind of universal definition)
Fixed project schedule used in measuring project progress and contract performance. Any change caused by change in scope of the project invalidates the original schedule and necessitates a new baseline schedule.
From the following link you will find that a Recovery Programme upon acceptance shall become the new Baseline.

Acceptance might have the effect of a change in contract conditions; therefore both parties must be cautious.

The AACE is currently posting a draft Recommended Practice (RP) entitled: “Recovery Scheduling – As Applied in Engineering, Procurement and Construction”.

This subject is along the lines of your topic. You might want to read it and learn more how the revised baseline is prepared.
With kind regards,
