Body, the Public Body may require the Bidder to produce detailed price analyses for any or all
items of the Bill of Quantities, to demonstrate the internal consistency of those prices with the
construction methods and schedule proposed. After evaluation of the price analyses, taking into
consideration the schedule of estimated Contract payments, the Public Body may require that
the amount of the performance security be increased at the expense of the Bidder to a level
sufficient to protect the Public Body against financial loss in the event of default of the
successful Bidder under the Contract.
11. Comparison of Bids
11.1 The Public Body shall compare all substantially responsive Bids in accordance with ITB Clause
38.3 and methodology specified in Section 3, Evaluation Methodology and Criteria to
determine the lowest evaluated Bid.
12. Post-qualification Evaluation
12.1 After identifying the successful Bidder by evaluating the Bid documents against the criteria set
forth in this Bidding Documents the Public Body shall conduct post qualification evaluation to
establish the current qualification of the successful Bidder where it feels that it has to be
ascertained.
12.2 Such post qualification evaluation of the successful Bidder may relate to submission of the
documentary evidence specified in ITB Clause 37, unless satisfactory documents are already
included in the Bid, concerning its current legal, professional, technical, and financial standing
and conformity to the requirements stated in this Bidding Documents.
12.3 If the successful bidder fails to provide this documentary proof within 15 calendar days
following the Public Body's request or if the successful bidder is found to have provided false
information its Bid shall be disqualified, in which event the Public Body shall proceed to the
next lowest evaluated Bid to make a similar determination of that Bidder’s capabilities to
perform satisfactorily.
13. Acceptance or Rejection of Bids
13.1 The Public Body reserves the right to accept or reject any bid, and to annul the bidding process
and reject all bids at any time prior to contract award, without thereby incurring any liability to
Bidders.
14. Re-advertising Bids
14.1 The Public Body may issue Invitation for Expression of Interest for a second time under the
following circumstances:
(a) Where the Invitation for Expression of Interest has been unsuccessful, namely where no
qualitatively or financially worthwhile Bids have been received.

(b) Where the best price offered by a Bidder is significantly higher than the market price
estimate of the object of procurement made by the Public Body prior to the issuance of
the Invitation for Expression of Interest.
(c) Where it is concluded that non compliance with the rules and procedures governing Bids
prescribed by the Proclamation and Procurement Directive led to the failure of the
Invitation for Expression of Interest to attract more than one Bidder, or where it is
believed that modifying the Bidding Documents could attract adequate number of
Bidders.
(d) Circumstances of Force Majeure render normal implementation of the Contract
 impossible.
F. Award of Contract
1. Award Criteria
1.1 The Public Body shall award the Contract to the Bidder whose Bid has been determined to be
the lowest evaluated Bid and is substantially responsive to the Bidding Documents, provided
further that the Bidder is determined to be qualified to perform the Contract satisfactorily.

the Public Body may select the most favorable overall solution after taking account of any
discounts offered.
1.3 If the Bidder is awarded more than one lot, a single contract may be concluded covering all
those lots.
2. Right to Vary Quantities at Time of Award
2.1 At the time the Contract is awarded, the Public Body reserves the right to increase or decrease
the quantity of Works originally specified in Section 6, Schedule of Requirement, provided this
does not exceed the percentages indicated in the BDS, and without any change in the unit prices
or other terms and conditions of the Bid and the Bidding Documents.
3. Announcing and Awarding of the Successful Bidder
3.1 Prior to expiry of the period of Bid validity, the Public Body shall notify in writing the result of

a Bid evaluation to all Bidders alike at the same time.

3.2 The letter of notification to be disclosed to the unsuccessful bidders on the technical evaluation
shall state the reason why they did not succeed in their Bid and the identity of the successful
Bidder

3.3 A letter of award to be sent by the Public Body to a successful Bidder shall not constitute a
contract between him and the Public Body. A contract shall be deemed to have been concluded
between the Public Body and the successful Bidder only where a contract containing detailed
provisions governing the execution of the procurement in issue is signed.
3.4 A letter of contract award to be sent to a successful Bidder may contain the following
information:
(a) That the Public Body has accepted his Bid;
(b) The total contract price;
(c) The list of items and their respective unit price;
 (d) The amount of the performance security the successful Bidder is required to furnish and
the deadline for providing such security.
4. Signing of Contract
4.1 Promptly after notification of the proposed contract award the Public Body shall send the
successful Bidder the Contract.
4.2 Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the notification of award, the successful Bidder shall sign,

performance security in accordance with the GCC, subject to ITB Clause 38.6, using for that
purpose the Performance Security Form included in Section 9, Contract Forms, or another form
acceptable to the Public Body.
5.2 If the performance security furnished by the successful local Bidder is in the form of a bond, it
shall be issued by a bonding or insurance company that has been determined by the successful
Bidder to be acceptable to the Public Body. A foreign institution providing a bond shall have a
correspondent financial institution located in the Federal Dem ocratic Republic of Ethiopia.
5.3 Failure of the successful Bidder to submit the above-mentioned Performance Security or sign
the Contract shall constitute sufficient grounds for annulment of the award and forfeiture of the
bid security.
5.4 Small and micro enterprises shall be required to submit a letter of guarantee written by a
competent body organizing and overseeing them in lieu of bid security, performance security or
advance payment guarantee.
5.5 Where the successful Bidder can not or is unwilling to sign a contract or furnish the above-
mentioned Performance Security, the Public Body may either declare the Bidder submitting the
second lowest evaluated Bid the successful Bidder or invite such Bidder to sign a contract or
advertise the Bid afresh by assessing the benefit of the two options.

1. Determining the Successful Bid
According to the methodology defined in the Public Procurement Proclamation and Directive the
Public Body shall select the successful Bid by applying the following method:
A. The Bid that is found to be substantially responsive to the professional, technical, and
financial qualification requirements, technically compliant in relation to the technical
specifications, and with the lowest price.
B. The Bid that is found to be substantially responsive to the professional, technical, and
financial qualification requirements, technically compliant in relation to the technical
specifications, and with the lowest evaluated bid The lowest evaluated Bid shall be the bid
offering better economic advantage ascertained on the basis of factors affecting the
economic value of the bid.
A. The Bid with the Lowest Price
1.1 The bids shall be examined to confirm that all documentary evidence establishing the
Bidders' qualifications requested in ITB Clause 23 have been provided.
1.2 After confirming the bids comprise all mandatory documentary evidence establishing the
Bidder's qualification the Public Body will rule on the legal, technical, professional, and
financial admissibility of each bid, classifying it as compliant or non-compliant with
qualification requirements set forth in the Bidding Document.
1.3 The Public Body will then analyze the bids' technical conformity in relation to the technical
specifications, classifying them technically compliant or non-compliant.
1.4 The Public Body shall continue evaluation of Bids that have been determined to be
substantially responsive with rectification of nonconformities and omissions in bids, if any.
1.5 The Public Body shall examine all Bids to ascertain whether there are any arithmetic errors
in computation and summation. The Public Body shall notify Bidders on adjusted
calculation errors and request bidders to confirm that they accept the correction of the
calculation error within the time limit of three days from the receiving of the notification.
1.6 The Public Body shall award of the contract the Bidder whose Bid has been determined to
be substantially responsive to the Bidding Documents and with the lowest price.
B. Determining the Lowest Evaluated Bid Offering the Best Economic Advantage
2. Evaluation of the Technical Proposal
2.1 Provided all mandatory legal, professional, technical, and financial requirements have been
met all technically compliant Bids shall be evaluated and scored using the two-stage bid
evaluation and scoring method. In accordance with ITB Clause 38.3(f), the Public Body's
evaluation of the Bid will take into account, in addition to the bid price, the following
technical evaluation criteria in order of their importance and their proportional weight in
the total system of evaluation, as specified below:
(a). The technical evaluation criteria and their weighting points that indicate their level of
importance are determined, as follows:
 Proportional
Priority Name of criteria
points in %
Adequacy of Technical Proposal in responding to the
50
Schedule of Requirements:
(a) Technical capacity to mobilize equipment and personnel 5
1 (b) Technical approach and methodology 5
(c) Work plan and scheduling 5
(d) Organization and staffing 5
Total points for criterion (1): 20
Specific experience of the Bidder relevant to the
2 50
Schedule of Requirements
Qualifications and competence of the key professional
staff engaged in the works:
a) office engineer 5
(a) Team Leader 10
(b) site engineer
10
(c) Designer

3 Total points for criterion (3): 30

The number of points to be assigned to each of the above
positions or disciplines shall be determined considering the
following three sub-criteria and relevant percentage weights:
(a) General qualifications 20-30% 20
(b) Adequacy for the assignment 50-60% 50
(c) Experience in region and language 10-20% 30
Total weight: 100% 100

4
Total points for criterion (4):
Σ Total Points for the Four Criteria (1+2+3+4) 100

(b). The Public Body will evaluate any technical evaluation criterion using the following
scoring scale:
SCORING DESCRIPTION
10 Excellent Exceeds the requirements of the criteria significantly and in beneficial ways/very
 SCORING DESCRIPTION
desirable
9 Very Good Exceeds the requirements of the criteria in ways which are beneficial to our needs

7-8 Good Fully meets the requirement of the criteria

Adequately meets most of the requirements of the criteria. May be lacking in

5-6 Average
some areas that are not critical.
Addresses all of the requirements of the criterion to the minimum acceptable
3-4 Poor
level.
Minimally addresses some, but not all, of the requirements of the criteria or
1-2 Very Poor
lacking in critical areas.
0 Unsatisfactory Does not satisfy the requirements of the criteria in any manner.
2.2 Individual weighted scores for all technical evaluation criteria shall be weighted according
to the set proportional weighting factors. The weighted result shall be calculated by
multiplying the score by the proportional weighting point of the individual criterion.
2.3 Bidders getting score less than 70% percent in the technical evaluation shall be rejected.
3. Evaluation and Comparison of Bid Price
3.1 In the financial evaluation, the highest point shall be given to the lowest priced Bid, and
conversely, the lowest point shall be given to the highest priced Bid; among technically
qualified Bids. The points given to other Bidders shall be determined depending on their
price offers.
3.2 From the total merit points to be given for proposals submitted by Bidders in a bid for
procurement of Works, the share of Technical Proposal shall be 70% percent and the
remaining 30% percent shall be the share of the Bid Price.
3.3 The formula for determining the financial score is the following:

FS =

Where:
FS = The Bid Price Score;
LFP = The lowest Bid Price;
CFP = The Bid Price under consideration
3.4 The Public Body shall then add the technical score to the Bid Price score to determine the
aggregated (total) Bid score and final ranking of Bids by applying the following method:
(e) For each Technical Proposal its technical evaluation score shall be normalized
according to the highest evaluated technical score that will get 100 points according
 to which other scores of technical criteria shall be proportionally ranked.
Normalization is the transformation that is applied equally to every element in the
group of data so that the group has a specific statistical characteristic.
(f) The Public Body shall apply the following formula for the normalization of values of
the technical evaluation results:

TSN =

Where:
TSN = Normalized Bid Technical Proposal Score;
CTP = The technical evaluation score for the Bid under consideration
HTP = The highest evaluated Technical Proposal score
3.5 The Public Body shall award the contract to the Bid that has the highest point in the total
sum of results of the technical and Bid Price evaluation.
3.6 Where two Bidders get equal merit points in the evaluation, preference shall be given to
local Bidders.
3.7 The Public Body may require Bidders scoring equal merit points in the evaluation to
submit further Proposals on certain aspects of the Bidding Document with a view to
identifying the successful Bidder.
3.8 Where by reason of the Bidders scoring equal merit points not submitting final proposals
they are invited to submit, or by reason of the evaluation result of the final proposals
submitted by the Bidders being still equal the successful Bidder can not be singled out, the
successful Bidder shall be determined by casting lot in the presence, as far as possible, of
the Bidders concerned.
4. Domestic Preference
If the ITB Clause 34 so specifies, the Public Body will grant a margin of preference to local
construction companies for the purpose of bid comparison, in accordance with the procedures
outlined in subsequent paragraphs Responsive Bids shall be classified into the following groups:
(a) Group A: Bids offered by local construction companies and joint ventures meeting
the criteria of ITB Sub-Clause 34.3; and
(b) Group B: all other Bids.
For the purpose of further evaluation and comparison of Bids only, an amount equal to 7.5%
percent of the evaluated Bid prices determined in accordance with ITB Sub-Clause 34.3 shall be
added to all Bids classified in Group B.
5. Evaluation of Multiple Contracts
Since in accordance with ITB Sub-Clause 38.5 the Public Body shall not be allowed to award
one or multiple lots to more than one Bidder, the following methodology shall be used for award
of multiple contracts:
To determine the lowest-evaluated lot combinations, the Public Body shall:
(a) evaluate only lots or contracts that include at least the percentages of items per lot
and quantity per item as specified in ITB 13.12;
(b) take into account:
(i) the lowest-evaluated bid for each lot that meets the requirement of evaluation
criteria;
(i) the price reduction per lot and the methodology for their application as
offered by the Bidder in its bid; and
(ii) the contract-award sequence that provides the optimum economic
combination, taking into account any limitations due to constraints in supply
or execution capacity.
6. Completion Time
An alternative Completion Time, if permitted under ITB Clause 19.2, will be evaluated as
follows:

7. Technical Alternatives

Technical Alternatives, if permitted under ITB Clause 19.4, will be evaluated as follows:

D. Financial Offer -Lump Sum Contract

1. Preamble
The Breakdown of the Lump-sum Price is the itemized list which contains the basic costs, net
costs and mark-ups, from which each price on the Breakdown of the Lump-sum Price and on the
Daywork Schedule results. This Breakdown of the Lump-sum Price for which the Contractor has
submitted his all-in price shall be paid for irrespective of the quantities of work actually carried
out.
The amounts due shall be determined: [e.g.: through the measurement of the percentage of works
carried out in relation to the firm quantities of each item of the Breakdown of the Lump-sum
Price and by applying that percentage to the lump-sum price of the related item]
Provisional sums for use when works are to be executed on a daywork basis can only be executed
by administrative order of the Engineer in accordance with the terms of the contract.
The item description given in the Breakdown of the Lump-sum Price in no way limits the
Contractor's obligations under the Contract to provide all the works described elsewhere.
The prices of the Breakdown of the Lump-sum Price include all incidental and contingent
expenses and risks of every kind necessary to construct, complete and maintain the whole of the
works in accordance with the contract. Unless separate items are provided in the Breakdown of
the Lump-sum Price, prices include all costs involved in the various items of the Breakdown.

obligations.

1.1 GENERAL AND PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

The main operations included in this part of the project phase is conducting site possession,
identification and reestablishment of surveying bench marks, submittal of results of surveying
works and undertaking quality tests for the proposed construction material. In addition
preparation and getting approval of work program is under taken.

SITE ESTABLISHMENT
This part covers all the works and resources involved in the establishment of the office and store.

Office and store construction

 Part 1: Bidding Procedures Section 4: Bidding Forms

The office and store will be constructed inside the compound which makes the ease of office
work and material supply.

Buy and Store Raw Material

• We will plan the amount depending on the financial status of the owner but its better to buy and
deliver one third of the total amount to decrease transportation cost and other costs related to
delivery.

Raw materials like Eucalyptus tree “atana”, Cement, reinforcement bar, and other machines like
Vibrators, mixers and others will be delivered first.

Precaution
• A store for all construction materials. Especially, cement storage needs due consideration. The
store should have a ramp, elevated for some height to prevent from damping effect of moisture.

• Formworks storage also needs special care. They should be straight and smooth to create sound
surface on the structures. But due to storage they loose straightness. So we will have leveled
surface for formwork storage. In case of steel made formworks it will be protected and galvanized
using lubricating oils.

stored as instructed by the engineer.

Scope of work:
The scope of work applies to all excavations with depth more than 2.0m which includes basement
excavations, pile boring, etc.
Responsibility:
The Project Engineer/site engineer is responsible for the supervision of deep excavations. Chief
engineer will bear the overall responsibility. Project engineer/site engineer will assist chief
engineer in reviewing the Method Statement submitted by contractor and approve the same and
also to supervise the excavation works as stipulated in the procedure.
Documents
1) Approved foundation drawings with depth of excavation, which shall include the Design depth
as per drawing, levels, Excavation protection measures viz, Sheet pile or soldier piles or shoring
drawings
2) Structural drawings showing the foundation details
3) Approved Method statement of contractor.
4) Safety and environmental measures.

• Earthwork include all necessary clearing, grubbing, stripping and excavation within the limits of
the work.
• Earthwork also include removal of obstructions visible on ground surface, underground
structures and utilities indicated to be demolished and removed, removal and disposal of
unsuitable materials and debris, excavation of earth, weathered and hard rock, borrow excavation,
placement of suitable fill (backfill from site, selected fill from quarry, hard-coring, etc.), cart-
away, dewatering, diversion ditch excavation and any other item of work necessary to conform to
the Specifications, and to conform to the line, grade and cross section shown on the drawings, or
as directed by the assigned engineer.

• Excavation will be performed by practicable method dependable with the integrity and
protection of the work and neighboring structures, workmen, and the public.

• Foreign material or unsuitable foundation material encountered such as wood, boulders, etc.
which obstruct the excavation, shall be removed.
• When any foreign or unidentified object is encountered during earthwork, it shall be reported
immediately and shall be requested for method of removing, before any action is taken.

Method of excavation
 Obtain the good for construction drawings from the Architect/Engineer. Engineer refers
to the Geotechnical/Structural consultant.
 Review and study the drawings well in advance viz before the start of construction and
obtain all clarifications from the Architect/engineer.
 Demarcate the excavation setting out plan with reference co-ordinates and levels.
Please note that the survey bench marks are away from the excavation in order to
prevent the damage to markers and to maintain accuracy.

 Cable or utilities scanning has to be done in order to avoid the cables and pipes and
underground utilities damage. It is recommended to go for trial pits so that
underground utilities can be find out.
 Protect and support underground utilities.
 Mobilize the machinery for excavation.
 Start the excavation from one end and proceed to another end in layers such as one
meter depth layers.
 If the excavation depth exceeds 2.0m depth, it is necessary to protect the sides of
excavation by driving sheet piles or soldier piles or timber shoring with strutting. The
vertical members to protect the excavation is to be driven first followed by horizontal
members.
 The other option is to provide slope not less than 1:1.5 with intermediate berms and the
slopes have to be protected by short cresting or planting grass etc.
 After the completion of excavation 0.5m below the first strut level, install the first strut
as per the drawings. The procedure may be repeated till the bottom of excavation.

 If the excavation is deep, it is better to provide long arm excavators to reach the
required level.
 Stack the soil away from the excavation edge to prevent soil collapsing to the excavation
area.
 In case of soil disposal, appoint banks man to guide the machinery movement. 
Appoint signal man if the excavation is done by a mini excavator followed by soil
disposal by another excavator.
 Provision for drainage is to be made with sufficient pumps and collecting.
 If there is ground water percolating to excavation, Please inform the Consultant and find
out suitable preventive measures.
 All the excavation area is to be barricaded with GI hand railing and sign boards such as
“deep excavation is in progress, stay away” to be kept in all languages which can
understand by workers easily.
 Sufficient flood lights have to be provided at regular intervals.
 Complete the excavation as per the levels mentioned in the Method statement.
 In case of over excavation, fill the extra depth with PCC.
 After the completion of excavation inform the architect/Engineer to visit the site for
checking.
 The next step of construction can only be started after the approval of excavation by
Architect/engineer

Document: Bidding Forms Page 31 of 29 Issued by:
 Part 1: Bidding Procedures Section 4: Bidding Forms

 The dumpers drivers are responsible for any collapse of soil from dumper or flying of
dust to atmosphere.

Setting out (Surveying)

All survey results have been & will be undertaken under the supervision of the engineer’s
representation or his delegated site inspector staffs, and all the survey works will be submitted to
the engineer in computerized format which can be used directly as in put data for the engineer’s
design program.

Steps to be followed
- The corners of the structure will be located from the existing bench marks with reference
to the site plan.
- Profile board ( Modini) is first constructed around the structure at a minimum offset of
distance of 1 meter leaving sufficient space for any construction purpose after clearing
and grubbing has done
- The profile board should be strong enough to support the tension applied from the
carpenter’s string and also the elevation of the bard will be kept equal using water levels
stretched all around. (if possible it should be made from timber to keep the water level of
the whole grid in equal position)
- Finally the controlling (Checking) points will be located using precise surveying
equipment in coordinate form (Nothing, Easting and Elevation)

Precaution

• All excavation works shall be kept dry and clean

• Settlement or damage to adjacent property by over draining off water should be avoided
 Their will be continuous pumping out of all water which may occur or be brought into the
excavation employing high capacity pumps to keep the water level below the bottom of the
permanent works during the period.
• When dewatering the water should spill outside the structural limit and from a point below the
bottom of the excavation.
• If pumping is required it will be carried out continuously and may not be slopped without the
permission of the assigned engineer.

3. General Concrete Work

Concreting in hot weather

Concreting in hot weather largely overcome by placing the concrete with sufficient speed and
preventing it from drying out. Concrete sets more quickly when it is hot and, consequently, it
should not be left standing in hot weather. Where there is likely to be a delay in placing, the
aggregates could be sprayed with water to cool them, but the increase in water content should be
allowed for alternatively, or in addition, a retarding admixture may be used. Ready-mixed
concrete which may be subject to delay should be kept agitating.

3.1 Concrete quality control

Concrete has many properties, such as: strength, durability, consistency, and workability, the two
essential properties of hardened concrete being durability and strength. Both properties are
affected by the voids or capillaries in the concrete which are caused by incomplete compaction or
by excessive water in the mix. Within certain limits, the higher the cement content and the lower
the water/cement ratio, the stronger and more, durable will be the concrete. Having dense
impervious concrete is-also necessary if it is to retain or exclude water and corrosion protection to
reinforcement.
The requirement that air voids be kept to a minimum means that the materials must be so
proportioned that the mix is workable enough to be fully compacted with the means available.
The use of mechanical compaction equipment allows a drier and potentially stronger and more
durable mix to be used than if compaction is done by manual methods.
Testing concrete is only to confirm the concrete produced meets the desired properties the

SBD- Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: Bidding Forms Page 34 of 29 Issued by:
 Part 1: Bidding Procedures Section 4: Bidding Forms

main part is having true-construction practice. The fundamental part being the control maintained
by the contractor to assure that all materials submitted for acceptance conforms to the contract
requirements. Pre-conditions to be fulfilled for Concrete work
The following activities and equipment’s will be checked with respect to corresponding method
statements specified prior to concrete production.
• Since concrete is workable material while it is fresh, but difficult once it hardened even to
demolish. We will carefully check the following drawings superimposing one over the other.
• The type and quality of cement including date of expire,
• the quality of local materials, such as gravel, sand, etc.
• The quality of water,
• The formwork construction,
• Position & number of reinforcement bar,
•The equipments required (mixer, vibrator, etc.),

Activity:

The series of operations which will be performed on the raw materials will determine the
strength, durability and appearance of the finished work.
Concrete will be mixed on site with concrete mixers and cast in place after the approval by the
engineer and left free from any disturbance to be cured for sufficient time until it attains its
strength.
After the engineer’s approval of the ingredients of concrete, the re-bar and the formwork
construction, fresh concrete shall be mixed with the help of high capacity concrete mixers and
transported by dampers and then pored in to the formwork using crane in combination of concrete
bakete.

3.2 Mixing time

Careful mixing of concrete is essential. Mixing times will vary according to the mix, the mixer
and whether or not the mixer is filled to capacity. A uniform colour is usually a good guide to
efficient mixing and it will be attained by visual inspection with estimated time sate on standard
literature.

Placing and compacting

SBD- Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: Bidding Forms Page 35 of 29 Issued by:
 Part 1: Bidding Procedures Section 4: Bidding Forms

Before the concrete is placed in its final position, the insides of the forms will be inspected to
make sure they are clean and have been treated with release agent. Where the forms are deep,
temporary openings should be provided for this inspection. Rubbish, such as sawdust, shavings
and wire, will be blown out with compressed air or broom.

The concrete will be placed in its final position rapidly so that it is not too stiff to work. On no
account water will be added after the concrete has left the mixer. A mass of concrete, which will
have to be moved to some other part of the form, should not be allowed to accumulate in one
place. The concrete will be placed as closely as possible to its final position. It will never be
moved by vibrating it and allowing it to flow, as this may result in segregation which will show
on the surface of the finished work.

3.3 Vibration

If concrete is to achieve its maximum strength, it must be compacted so that it contains the
minimum of unwanted air. This is easy with a wet, workable mix, but the excess water in this sort
of concrete contributes to weakness. The strongest and most durable concrete is as dry as can be
fully compacted by the means available.
Concrete will be compacted using poker type vibrators inside the formwork & around the
reinforcement. Care should be taken:-
• It will be placed vertically in the concrete, held in position until air bubbles cease to come to the
surface
• Over-vibration is not allowed, but it is not as common as under-vibration. Over-vibration may
cause segregation and the formation of a weak layer is formed at the top of a pour.

3.4 Fixing reinforcement

Unless the bars are rigidly fixed in the correct position, the reinforcement may be displaced
during concreting, particularly if the concrete is vibrated. Top layers of horizontal steel should be
well supported on concrete spacers so that they are not displaced by operatives walking on them
or by other excessive loads such as bundles of unfixed reinforcement both of which should be
actively discouraged as possible.

SBD- Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: Bidding Forms Page 36 of 29 Issued by:
 Part 1: Bidding Procedures Section 4: Bidding Forms

 At all intersections, the bars or links will be securely tied together with black wires. The
ends of the wire ties must not point towards the face of the concrete and all ends will be
cut of or, preferably bent
 Reinforcement bar first will be free from loose mill scale, loose rust, dirt, oil, grease,
paint, retarders, hardened concrete stuck to erected reinforcement bars, etc. and/ or other
harmful matter which might prevent the proper adhesion to concrete.
 The Scope of the work will include any wire brushing or other cleaning of steel
reinforcement as may be necessary and, if directed by the Engineer, the reinforcement
will be cleaned before being placed in position and before pouring concrete.
 Reinforcement bar will be straightened before cutting and bending, Shop (ST) drawings
showing the bar length, bends, points of splices, splice lengths, bar number and other
necessary information will be given.

-Our Method of Control:

• The reinforcement will be stored so that it is kept clean and reasonably free from rust and other
impurities.
• Every bar will be checked for corrosion, crack & cleanness before put into use
• Every bar will be straightened before cutting and bending,
• Covers will be kept as specified in the design using appropriate spacers
• Spacers will be of such materials and will be durable, not lead to corrosion of the reinforcement
and not cause spalling of the concrete cover.
• Spacer blocks made from cement, sand and small aggregate will match the mix proportion of
the surrounding concrete so far as practical with a view to being comparable in strength,
durability and appearance.

Risk:

The risks that ultimately affect the strength and the intended purpose of the Reinforcement are:
• Improper stockpiling of reinforcement bars that lead to corrosion (Loss of effective area/ size)
• Improper Placing of reinforcement bars (Miss-positioned, lucking concrete spacers there by
unable to keep the specified concrete cover to reinforcement
• Placing Un-straightened reinforcement bars in structural members,
• Uneven distance of stirrups in columns and beams,

SBD- Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: Bidding Forms Page 37 of 29 Issued by:
 Part 1: Bidding Procedures Section 4: Bidding Forms

• Problems in point of splices in beams,

• The use of reinforcement bars with scale & surface rusts that result from improper stockpiling,
4. Formwork

Formwork types can be off Timber, I section, and steel and 2cm thick ply wood panels &
bracings to the required levels with the help of carpenters & their helpers. The purpose of
formwork is to contain freshly placed and compacted concrete until it has gained enough strength
to be self-supporting, to produce a concrete member of the required shape and size, and to
produce the desired finish to the concrete. To achieve this, the general design and construction
requirements of formwork should be sufficiently rigid to prevent undue deflection during the
placing of the concrete.

Note:
 All formwork will be inspected and approved by the Engineer before concrete is placed within
it.
• Formworks can be constructed from steel panels and/or lumber, steel and/or wooden props &
bracings to the required levels.
• The formwork will be stiff enough (will have sufficient strength) to carry safely weight of
material to be supported and working load.
• Except where specially noted, dimensions, levels, sizes, positions and covers are to be exactly as
dimensioned or specified with the allowable tolerances for cast in-situ concrete resulting from the
formwork put into use:

4.1 Method of Control:

As Cast-in-place concrete requires formwork to define its shape as it cures in addition the
following points will be considered: -
• It will be water tight to protect leakage of cement paste (grout),
• It will be smooth enough to produce the required finished surface especially if the concrete to be
accurate finish,
• We will construct formwork in such a way that concrete members and structures are of correct
size, shape, alignment, elevation and position.

SBD- Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: Bidding Forms Page 38 of 29 Issued by:
 Part 1: Bidding Procedures Section 4: Bidding Forms

•We will erect false work and support, brace and maintain it to safely support vertical, lateral and
asymmetrical loads applied until such loads can be supported by in-place concrete structures.
• We will support form facing materials by structural members spaced sufficiently close to
prevent deflection. Fit forms placed in successive units for continuous surfaces to accurate
alignment, free from irregularities and within allowable tolerances.

4.2 Re-Use of forms:

• Clean and repair surfaces of forms to be re-used in the work. Split, frayed, delaminated or
otherwise damaged form facing material will not be acceptable. Apply new form coating
compound material to concrete contact surfaces as specified for new formwork.
• When forms are extended for successive concrete placement, thoroughly clean surfaces, remove
fins and laitance, and tighten forms to close all joints. Align and secure joints to avoid offsets. Do
not use "patched" forms for exposed concrete surfaces.
• Timber/lumber forms must be stored for re-use after they are securely braced to avoid warping.
• No forming material must be allowed to be built permanently into exposed visible surfaces.

4.3 Curing

Curing should start immediately after the removal of formwork and, if necessary, the concrete
should be insulated as a protection against low temperature. Timber formwork is frequently a
good insulator in its own right, so in winter it is particularly important to avoid thermal shock to
the warm concrete when timber or insulated steel forms arc removed and the concrete is exposed
to the air. If the formwork is not required elsewhere, it may suffice to leave it in place until the
concrete has cooled from its high early temperature. The formwork must be removed slowly: the
sudden removal of wedges is equivalent to a shock load on the partly hardened concrete. Careful
removal is also less likely to damage the formwork itself and will thus prolong its life.

-4.3.1 Methods of curing

• The concrete will be cured for sufficient time with water or by applying covering to the concrete
surface. Care will be taken that no concrete be left to dry prematurely so that the fresh concrete

SBD- Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: Bidding Forms Page 39 of 29 Issued by:
 Part 1: Bidding Procedures Section 4: Bidding Forms

will be protected from rain, sun and wind by applying water on sacking, sand, sawdust or other
approved means wherever applicable.

• To prevent evaporation of moisture and the consequent formation of cracks in the surface, the
curing of horizontal surfaces exposed to the sun or to drying winds will begin immediately the
concrete has been placed and finished.

4.3.2 Sampling Fresh Concrete

Before we test concrete, it is important that to obtain a representative sample of the material while
at the same time minimizing the possibility of non-specification material being incorporated into
the structure or pavement. All standards prohibit sampling from the initial concrete discharge
from the Mixer. The tests being:-

- Concrete cubes test

The moulds for test cubes will be made of steel or cast iron with the inner surfaces parallel to
each other and machine-faced having a metal base-plate with true surface to support the mould
and prevent leakage.
It is essential that the concrete in the cubes will be fully compacted in three layers as per technical
specifications and/or documents.

3-Procedure in Concreting
Activity:

• First the excavation is made up to the approved foundation depth.

• If the soil is thick black cotton soil a selected material/lean concrete is laid in approved
thickness as pe the engineers order.
 False work and form work erecting will be the next activity
 In the meantime reinforcement bending and cutting wing wall and Abutment 1 will be finished
so as to place the reinforcements according to master drawings. Note that reinforcements
which should extend to Abutment and walls to be placed before concrete is casted for footing.
• After the engineer’s approval of the re-bar and the formwork construction, fresh concrete will
be mixed with the help of concrete mixers

SBD- Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: Bidding Forms Page 40 of 29 Issued by:
 Part 1: Bidding Procedures Section 4: Bidding Forms

• Aggregate, sand and cement is transported near the concrete mixer and the mixing star with
controlled mix proportion.
• Concrete is placed before setting has commenced and in any case within 30 Minutes from the
time that the water is added in the mixer.
• It will be vibrated with vibrators during the placing work inside the formwork & around the
reinforcement. Care will be taken to prevent segregation of the materials in the concrete while
placing and vibration as well as bleeding of concrete.
• Larger vibrator diameters can be used
• Concrete is not dropped in any way during placing from a height in excess of 1.5 meter.
• Slump test is to be checked as the casting goes on.
• Representative samples will be taken.
• Curing goes on.
• Finishing.
• Demolish

D. Bill of Quantities or Activity Schedule

1. Preamble
Bidders must price each item in the Bill of Quantities separately and follow the instructions
regarding the transfer of various totals in the summary.
The Bill of Quantities must be read with all the other contract documents and the Contractor shall
be deemed to have thoroughly acquainted himself with the detailed descriptions of the works to
be done and the way in which they are to be carried out. All the works must be executed to the
satisfaction of the Engineer.
(a). Quantity of items
The quantities set forth against the items in the bill of quantities are an estimate of the quantity of
each kind of the work likely to be carried out under the contract and are given to provide a
common basis for Bids.
There is no guarantee to the Contractor that it will be required to carry out the quantities of work
indicated under any one particular item in the bill of quantities or that the quantities will not differ
in magnitude from those stated.
When pricing items, reference should be made to the conditions of contract, the specifications
and relevant drawings for directions and descriptions of work and materials involved.
The quantities given in the bill of quantities are provisional and reflect the estimates made at the
time of approval to provide a basis for this Bidding Document and Bids. Bidders must consider
every aspect of the Bidding Document carefully.
Any comments concerning the quantities must be made in the form of an attachment, following
the system of itemization, quoting the codes and brief descriptions, as in the present documents,
including the rates and prices.
Except where the technical specifications or the bill of quantities specifically and expressly state
otherwise, only permanent works are to be measured. Works will be measured net to the
dimensions shown on the drawings or ordered in writing by the Engineer, except where described
or prescribed elsewhere in the Contract.
In adjusting extras or variations on the Contract, works will be measured on the same basis as that
on which the quantities were prepared. All works not specifically mentioned in the bill of
quantities will be taken as included in the prices of various items.
Where, in the opinion of the Engineer, extra works cannot be properly measured or valued, the
Contractor may, if so directed by the Engineer, carry out the work at the day work rates shown in

SBD-Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: Schedule of Requirements Page 22 of 11 Issued by:
 Part 2: Schedule of Requirements
Section 6: Schedule of Requirements

the schedule of day work. All completed day work sheets must be signed by the Engineer on or
before the end of the week in which the works are executed.
No allowance will be made for loss of materials or volume thereof during transport or
compaction.
(f) Units of measurement
The units of measurement used in the annexed technical documentation are those of the International
System of Units (SI). No other units may be used for measurements, pricing, detail drawings etc. (Any
units not mentioned in the technical documentation must also be expressed in terms of the SI.)
Abbreviations used in the bill of quantities are to be interpreted as follows:

Mm means millimeter H means hour

M means meter L.s. means Lump sum
mm² means square millimeter Km means kilometer
m² means square meter L means liter
m³ means cubic meter % means per cent
Kg means kilogram N.d means nominal diameter
To means tone (1000 kg) m/m means man-month
Pcs means pieces m/d means man-day
2. Terms Relating to Payments
Each item in the bill of quantities for which payment is to be made in a lump sum, and for which no
payment schedule is provided, must be paid after the work covered by the lump sum has been
completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
3. Pricing
The prices and rates inserted in the bill of quantities are to be the full inclusive values of the
works described under the items, including all costs and expenses which may be required in and
for the construction of the works described together with any temporary works and installations
which may be necessary and all general risks, liabilities and obligations set forth or implied in the
documents on which the tender is based. It will be assumed that establishment charges, profit and
allowances for all obligations are spread evenly over all the unit rates.
Rates and prices must be entered against each item in the bill of quantities. The rates will cover
all tax, duty or other liabilities which are not stated separately in the bill of quantities and the Bid.

4. Completing the Bill of Quantities

In the bill of quantities, rates and prices will be entered in the appropriate columns in currency
specified in BDS.
5. Description of Unit Prices
The Bills of Quantities that follow give the description of the items required. The relevant clauses
from the technical specifications are shown.
(a). Day work schedule
A day work schedule should be included only if there is a high probability of unforeseen works not
covered by the bill of quantities. To facilitate checking by the Public Body of the realism of rates
quoted by the Bidders, the daywork schedule should normally comprise the following:
(i) A list of the various classes of labor, materials, and construction plant for which
basic daywork rates or prices are given by the Bidder, together with a statement of
the conditions under which the Contractor will be paid for work executed on a
daywork basis;
(ii) The nominal quantities for each item of daywork, to be priced by each Bidder in its
Bid. The rate to be entered by the Bidder against each basic daywork item should
include the Contractor's profit, overheads, supervision and other charges.
(g) Provisional sums/Contingencies
A general provision for physical contingencies (quantity overruns) may be made by including a
provisional sum in the overall bill of quantities. The inclusion of such provisional sums often
facilitates budgetary approval by avoiding the need to request periodic supplementary approvals as the
future need arises. Where such provisional sums or contingency allowances are used, the SCC must
state the manner in which they will be used, and under whose authority (usually the Engineer's).

(uuu) if for any reason, the Engineer shall find it necessary to give an order orally, he shall as
soon as possible thereafter confirm the order by an change order;
(vvv) if the Contractor shall confirm in writing an oral order given for the purpose of GCC Clause
15.2 (a) and the confirmation shall not be contradicted in writing forthwith by the Engineer,
an change order shall be deemed to have been issued for the modification.
A change order for modification shall not be required for increase or decrease in the quantity of
any work where such increase or decrease is the result of the quantity exceeding or being less
than that stated in the bill of quantities or price schedule, as the result of valuation of works laid
down in GCC Clause 63.
15.3 Except as provided by GCC Clause 15.2 prior to any change order for modification, the Engineer

modification shall be carried out at the prices and under the conditions given in the Contractor's
submission referred to in GCC Clause 15.3 or as modified by the Engineer in accordance with

rates and prices in the contract to be agreed through negotiation between the Engineer and
the Contractor shall conform to the prevailing market price;
(bbbb) if the nature or amount of any modification relative to the nature or amount of the whole

SBD-Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: General Conditions of Contract Page 13 of 52 Issued by:
 Part 3: Contract Section 7: General Conditions of
Contract

of the contract or to any part thereof shall be such that in the opinion of the Engineer any
rate or price contained in the contract for any item of work is by reason of such
modification rendered unreasonable, then the Engineer shall fix such rate or price as in the
circumstances he shall think reasonable and proper;
(cccc) where a modification is necessitated by default or breach of contract by the Contractor,
any additional cost attributable to such modification shall be borne by the Contractor.
15.6 On receipt of the change order requesting the modification, the Contractor shall proceed to carry
out the modification and be bound by these GCC in so doing as if such modification were stated
in the contract. The works shall not be delayed pending the granting of any extension of time for
completion or adjustment to the contract price. Where the order for a modification precedes the
adjustment to the contract price, the Contractor shall keep records of the costs of undertaking the
modification and of time expended thereon. Such records shall be open to inspection by the
Engineer at all reasonable times.
15.7 Where on provisional acceptance an increase or reduction in the total value of the works resulting
from a change order, or from some other circumstance which is not caused by the Contractor's
default, exceeds 25% of the initial contract price (or as modified by addendum), the Engineer
shall, after consultation with the Public Body and the Contractor determine any reduction from the
contract price as a consequence of the application of GCC Clause 15.5. The sum so determined
shall be based on the amount by which the increase or decrease in value of the works exceeds
25%. The sum shall be notified by the Engineer to the Public Body and the Contractor and the
contract price adjusted accordingly.
15.8 The total value of the works resulting from a change order shall not exceed 30% of the total value
of the initial contract price.
15.9 Any change to the terms of the Contract must be recorded in writing and executed by authorized
signatory of the Contractor and the Engineer. Such record of the change in question must address
all consequential amendments required to be made to the Contract as a result of such change.
15.10 Changes will take effect as from the date specified in the signed record of change and shall not
have retrospective effect unless expressly provided for in such record.
15.11 Each record of change must be dated and sequentially numbered. Each of the Public Body and the
Contractor will be entitled to an original executed counterpart of the record of variation.
15.12 Except as provided in any such record of variation, the Contract will continue in full force and
effect.

Certification of Compliance form completed by the Contractor.
59.3 Payments to the Contractor of the amounts due under each of the interim payment certificates and
the final statement of account issued by the Engineer shall be made by the Public Body within 90
days of such certificate of statement being delivered to the Public Body. The date of payment shall
be the date on which the paying institution's account is debited. The payment certificate shall not
be admissible if one or more essential requirements are not met.
59.4 Interim payment certificates or final statement of account must be accompanied with copies of
invoices and other appropriate supporting materials of the amounts payable.

payment certificate or the final statement of accounts cannot be fulfilled because the sum is not
due, because appropriate substantiating documents have not been provided or because there is

out on the spot for the purpose of further checks. The Contractor shall provide clarifications,
modifications or further information within 30 days of being asked to do so. Within 30 days of

payment, it shall become due and repayable immediately and no further advance payments will be
made to him.
60.6 Should the advance payment security cease to be valid and the Contractor fail to re-validate it,

later than the date fixed for the commencement of the works, these retention sums by a retention

requires, he shall, without prejudice to GCC Clause 44.4, after due consultation with the Public
Body and, where appropriate, the Contractor, determine whether the Contractor is entitled to
additional payment and notify the parties accordingly.

Document: General Conditions of Contract Page 57 of 52 Issued by:
 Part 3: Contract Section 7: General Conditions of
Contract

are adversely affected by the Contractor not having given early warning.
75. Acceleration
75.1 When the Public Body wants the Contractor to finish before the Intended Completion Date, the

Document: General Conditions of Contract Page 58 of 52 Issued by:
 Part 3: Contract Section 7: General Conditions of
Contract

the end of the period specified for implementation of tasks or extended Intended Completion Date
under GCC Clause 72 and the actual date of completion, at the rate and up to the maximum
amount specified in the GCC Clause 27. If the works have been the subject of partial acceptance
in accordance with GCC Clause 86, the liquidated damages specified in the GCC Clause 27 may
be reduced in the proportion which the value of the accepted part bears to the value of the whole
of the works.
78.2 If the Public Body has become entitled to the maximum claim under GCC Clause 78.1 he may,
after giving notice to the Contractor:
(ff) Seize the performance guarantee; and /or
(gg) Terminate the contract; and
(hh) Enter into a contract with a third party at the Contractor's cost for the provision of the
balance of the works.
79. Work Register
79.1 A work register shall, unless otherwise provided by the SCC, be kept on the site by the Engineer,
who shall enter in it at least the following information:
(ii) the weather conditions, interruptions of work owing to inclement weather, hours of work,
number and type of workmen employed on the site, materials supplied, equipment in use,
equipment not in working order, tests carried out, samples dispatched, unforeseen
circumstances, as well as orders given to the Contractor;
(jj) detailed statements of all the quantitative and qualitative elements of the work done and the
supplies delivered and used, capable of being checked on the Site and relevant in
calculating payments to be made to the Contractor.

recorded in separate documents. The technical rules for drawing up the statements shall be as set
out in the SCC.
79.3 The Contractor shall ensure that statements are drawn up, in good time and in accordance with the
SCC, in respect of work, services and supplies which cannot be measured or verified
subsequently; failing this, he shall accept the decisions of the Engineer, unless, at his own
expense, he provides evidence to the contrary.
79.4 Entries made in the work register as work progresses shall be signed by the Engineer and
countersigned by the Contractor or his representative. If the Contractor objects, he shall
communicate his views to the Engineer within 15 days following the date on which the entry or
the statements objected to be recorded. Should Contractor fail to countersign or to submit his

SBD-Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: General Conditions of Contract Page 59 of 52 Issued by:
 Part 3: Contract Section 7: General Conditions of
Contract

views within the period allowed, the Contractor shall be deemed to agree with the notes shown in
the register. The Contractor may examine the work register at any time and may, without
removing the document, make or receive a copy of entries which he considers necessary for his
own information.
79.5 The Contractor shall, on request, provide the Engineer with the information needed to keep the
work register in good order.

80.2 The works, components and materials shall conform to the specifications, drawings, surveys,
models, samples, patterns and other requirements in the SCC which shall be held at the disposal of
the Public Body or the Engineer for the purposes of identification throughout the period of

by the Contractor to the Engineer. The request shall indicate the reference to the contract, the lot
number and the place where such acceptance is to take place, as appropriate. The components and
materials specified in the request must be certified by the Engineer as meeting the requirements
for such acceptance prior to their incorporation in the works.
80.4 Even if materials or items to be incorporated in the works or in the manufacture of components
have been technically accepted in this way, they may still be rejected and must be replaced
immediately by the Contractor if a further examination reveals defects or faults. The Contractor
may be given the opportunity to repair and make good materials and items which have been
rejected, but such materials and items will be accepted for incorporation in the works only if they
have been repaired and made good to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
81. Inspection and Testing
81.1 The Contractor shall ensure that the components and materials are delivered to the site in time to
allow the Engineer to proceed with acceptance of the components and materials. The Contractor is
deemed to have fully appreciated the difficulties which he might encounter in this respect, and he
shall not be permitted to advance any grounds for delay in fulfilling his obligations.
81.2 The Engineer shall be entitled, either by himself or his agent, to inspect, examine, measure and
test the components, materials and workmanship, and check the progress of preparation,
fabrication or manufacture of anything being prepared, fabricated or manufactured for delivery

SBD-Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: General Conditions of Contract Page 60 of 52 Issued by:
 Part 3: Contract Section 7: General Conditions of
Contract

of the requisite quality and quantity. This shall take place at the place of manufacture, fabrication,
preparation or on the site or at such other places as may be specified in the contract.
81.3 For the purposes of such tests and inspections, the Contractor shall:
(kk) provide to the Engineer, temporarily and free of charge, such assistance, test samples, parts,
machines, equipment, tools or materials and labor as are normally required for inspection
and testing;
(ll) agree, with the Engineer, on the time and place for tests;
(mm)provide access for the Engineer at all reasonable times to the place where the tests are to be
carried out.
81.4 If the Engineer is not present on the date agreed for tests, the Contractor may, unless otherwise
instructed by the Engineer, proceed with the tests, which shall be deemed to have been made in
the Engineer's presence. The Contractor shall forthwith forward duly certified copies of the test
results to the Engineer, who shall, if he has not attended the test, be bound by the test results.
81.5 When components and materials have passed the tests referred to in this GCC Clause, the
Engineer shall notify the Contractor or endorse the procedure's certificate to that effect.
81.6 If the Engineer and the Contractor disagree on the test results, each shall give a statement of his
views to the other within 15 days after such disagreement arises. The Engineer or the Contractor
may require such tests to be repeated on the same terms and conditions or, if either party so
requests, by an expert to be selected by common consent. All test reports shall be submitted to the
Engineer who shall communicate the results of these tests without delay to the Contractor. The
results of the re-testing shall be conclusive. The cost of the re-testing shall be borne by the party
whose views are proved wrong by the re-testing.
81.7 In the performance of his duties, the Engineer and all persons authorized by him shall disclose
only to those persons who are entitled to know of it information which he has obtained by reason
of his inspection and testing of the methods of manufacture and operation of the undertaking.
82. Rejection
82.1 Components and materials which are not of the specified quality shall be rejected. A special mark
may be applied to the rejected components or materials. This shall not be such as to alter them or
affect their commercial value. Rejected components and materials shall be removed by the
Contractor from the site within a period which the Engineer shall specify, failing which they shall
be removed by the Engineer as of right at the expense and risk of the Contractor. Any work
incorporating rejected components or materials shall be rejected.
82.2 The Engineer shall, during the progress of the works and before the works are taken over, have the

SBD-Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: General Conditions of Contract Page 61 of 52 Issued by:
 Part 3: Contract Section 7: General Conditions of
Contract

power to order or decide:

(nn) the removal from the Site, within such time limits as may be specified in the order, of any
components or materials which, in the opinion of the Engineer, are not in accordance with
the contract;
(oo) the substitution of proper and suitable components or materials; or
(pp) the demolition and proper re-execution, or satisfactory repair, notwithstanding any previous
test thereof or interim payment therefore, of any work which, in respect of components,
materials, workmanship or design by the Contractor for which he is responsible, is not, in
the opinion of the Engineer, in accordance with the Contract.
82.3 The Engineer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, give to the Contractor notice in writing of
his decision specifying particulars of the alleged defects.
82.4 The Contractor shall with all speed and at his expense make good the defects so specified. If the
Contractor does not comply with such order, the Public Body shall be entitled to employ other
persons to carry out the same and all expenses consequent thereon or incidental thereto may be
deducted by the Public Body from any monies due or which may become due to the Contractor.
82.5 The provisions of this GCC Clause shall not affect the right of the Public Body to claim under
GCC Clauses 19 and 78.
83. Ownership of Plant and Materials
83.1 All equipment, temporary works, plant and materials provided by the Contractor shall, when
brought on the Site, be deemed to be exclusively intended for the execution of the works and the
Contractor shall not remove the same or any part thereof, except for the purpose of moving it from
one part of the site to another, without the consent of the Engineer. Such consent shall, however,
not be required for vehicles engaged in transporting any staff, labor, equipment, temporary works,
plant or materials to or from the Site.
83.2 The SCC may provide that all equipment, temporary works, plant and materials on Site owned by
the Contractor or by any company in which the Contractor has a controlling interest shall, for the
duration of the execution of the works, be:
(qq) vested in the Public Body; or
(rr) made subject to a lien in favor of the Public Body; or
(ss) made subject to any other arrangement regarding priority interest or security.
83.3 In the event of termination of the contract in accordance with GCC Clause 21 due to the
Contractor's breach of Contract, the Public Body shall be entitled to use the equipment, temporary
works, plant and materials on Site in order to complete the works.

SBD-Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: General Conditions of Contract Page 62 of 52 Issued by:
 Part 3: Contract Section 7: General Conditions of
Contract

83.4 Any agreement for the hire by the Contractor of equipment, temporary works, plant and materials
brought onto the Site, shall contain a provision that on request in writing made by the Public Body
within 7 days after the date on which the termination under GCC Clause 21 becomes effective,
and on the Public Body undertaking to pay all hire charges in respect thereof from such date, the
owner thereof will hire such equipment, temporary works, plant or materials to the Public Body
on the same terms as they were hired by the Contractor, except that the Public Body shall be
entitled to permit the use thereof by any other Contractor employed by him for completing the
works under the provisions of GCC Clause 21.5.
83.5 Upon termination of the contract before completion of the works, the Contractor shall deliver to
the Public Body any plant, temporary works, equipment or materials the property in which has
vested in the Public Body or been made subject to a lien by virtue of GCC Clause 83.2. If he fails
to do so, the Public Body may take such appropriate action as it deems fit in order to obtain
possession of such plant, temporary works, equipment and materials and recover the cost of so
doing from the Contractor.
Acceptance and Defects Liability
84. General Principles
84.1 Verification of the works by the Engineer with a view to provisional or final acceptance shall take
place in the presence of the Contractor. The absence of the Contractor shall not be a bar to
verification on condition that the Contractor has been summoned in due form at least 30 days
prior to the date of verification.
84.2 Should exceptional circumstances make it impossible to ascertain the state of the works or
otherwise proceed with their acceptance during the period fixed for provisional or final
acceptance, a statement certifying such impossibility shall be drawn up by the Engineer after
consultation, where possible, with the Contractor. The verification shall take place and a statement
of acceptance or rejection shall be drawn up by the Engineer within 30 days following the date on
which such impossibility ceases to exist. The Contractor shall not invoke these circumstances in
order to avoid his obligation to present the works in a state suitable for acceptance.
85. Tests on Completion
85.1 The works shall not be accepted until the prescribed verifications and tests have been carried out
at the expense of the Contractor. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer of the date on which
such verification and tests may commence.
85.2 Works which do not satisfy the terms and conditions of the Contract, or in the absence of such
terms and conditions, which are not carried out in accordance with trade practices in the Federal

SBD-Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: General Conditions of Contract Page 63 of 52 Issued by:
 Part 3: Contract Section 7: General Conditions of
Contract

Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, shall, if required, be demolished and rebuilt by the Contractor
or repaired to the satisfaction of the Engineer, otherwise this shall be done as of right after due
notice at the expense of the Contractor, by order of the Engineer. The Engineer may also require
the demolition and reconstruction by the Contractor, or repair to the satisfaction of the Engineer,
under the same conditions of work, in which unacceptable materials have been used, or carried out
in the periods of suspension provided for in GCC Clause 20.
86. Partial Acceptance
86.1 The Public Body may make use of the various structures, parts of structures or sections of the
works forming part of the contract as and when they are completed. Any taking over of the
structures, parts of structures or sections of the works by the Public Body shall be preceded by
their partial provisional acceptance. However, works may in cases of urgency be taken over prior
to acceptance provided an inventory of outstanding work is drawn up by the Engineer and agreed
to by the Contractor and the Engineer beforehand. Once the Public Body has taken possession of a
structure, a part thereof or section of the works, the Contractor shall no longer be required to make
good any damage resulting otherwise than from faulty construction or workmanship.
86.2 The Engineer may, at the request of the Contractor and if the nature of the works so permits
proceeds with partial provisional acceptance, provided that the structures, parts of structures or
sections of the works are completed and suited to the use as described in the Contract.
86.3 In the cases of partial provisional acceptance referred to in GCC Sub-Clauses 86.1 and 86.2 the
Defects Liability Period provided for in GCC Clause 88 shall, unless the SCC provide otherwise,
run as from the date of such partial provisional acceptance.
87. Provisional Acceptance
87.1 The works shall be taken over by the Public Body when they have satisfactorily passed the tests
on completion and a certificate of provisional acceptance has been issued or is deemed to have
been issued.
87.2 The Contractor may apply, by notice to the Engineer, for a certificate of provisional acceptance
not earlier than 15 days before the works, in the Contractor's opinion, are complete and ready for
provisional acceptance. The Engineer shall within 30 days after the receipt of the Contractor's
application either:
(tt) issue the certificate of provisional acceptance to the Contractor with a copy to the Public
Body stating, where appropriate, his reservations, and, inter alia, the date on which, in his
opinion, the works were completed in accordance with the Contract and ready for
provisional acceptance; or

SBD-Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: General Conditions of Contract Page 64 of 52 Issued by:
 Part 3: Contract Section 7: General Conditions of
Contract

(uu) reject the application giving his reasons and specifying the action which, in his opinion, is
required of the Contractor for the certificate to be issued.
87.3 If the Engineer fails either to issue the certificate of provisional acceptance or to reject the
Contractor's application within the period of 30 days, he shall be deemed to have issued the
certificate on the last day of that period. The certificate of provisional acceptance shall not be
deemed to be an admission that the works have been completed in every respect. If the works are
divided by the contract into sections, the Contractor shall be entitled to apply for separate
certificates for each of the sections.
87.4 Upon provisional acceptance of the works, the Contractor shall dismantle and remove temporary
structures as well as materials no longer required for use in connection with the performance of
the contract. He shall also remove any litter or obstruction and redress any change in the condition
of the Site as required by the contract.
87.5 Immediately after provisional acceptance, the Public Body may make use of all the works as
completed.
88. Defects Liability
88.1 The Contractor shall be responsible for making good any defect in, or damage to, any part of the
works which may appear or occur during the Defects Liability Period and which arises either
from:
(vv) the use of defective plant or materials or faulty workmanship or design of the Contractor;
and/or
(ww) any act or omission of the Contractor during the Defects Liability Period.
88.2 The Contractor shall at his own cost make good the defect or damage as soon as practicable. The
Defects Liability Period for all items replaced or renewed shall recommence from the date when
the replacement or renewal was made to the satisfaction of the Engineer. If the contract provides
for partial acceptance, the Defects Liability Period shall be extended only for the part of the works
affected by the replacement or renewal.
88.3 If any such defect appears or such damage occurs, during the period referred to in GCC Clause
88.1, the Public Body or the Engineer shall notify the Contractor. If the Contractor fails to remedy
a defect or damage within the time limit stipulated in the notification, the Public Body may:
(xx) carry out the works himself, or employ someone else to carry out the works, at the
Contractor's risk and cost, in which case the costs incurred by the Public Body shall be
deducted from monies due to or from securities held against the Contractor or from both; or
(yy) terminate the Contract.

SBD-Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: General Conditions of Contract Page 65 of 52 Issued by:
 Part 3: Contract Section 7: General Conditions of
Contract

88.4 If the defect or damage is such that the Public Body has been deprived substantially of the whole
or a part of the benefit of the works, the Public Body shall, without prejudice to any other remedy,
be entitled to recover all sums paid in respect of the parts of the works concerned together with
the cost of dismantling such parts and clearing the Site.
88.5 In case of emergency, where the Contractor cannot be reached immediately or, having been
reached, is unable to take the measures required, the Public Body or the Engineer may have the
work carried out at the expense of the Contractor. The Public Body or the Engineer shall as soon
as practicable inform the Contractor of the action taken.
88.6 Where the SCC stipulates that the maintenance work, necessitated by normal wear and tear, shall
be carried out by the Contractor, such work shall be paid for from a provisional sum.
Deterioration resulting from the circumstances provided for in GCC Clause 44 or from abnormal
use shall be excluded from this obligation unless it reveals a fault or defect justifying the request
for repair or replacement under GCC Clause 88.
88.7 The defects liability shall be stipulated in the SCC. If the duration of the Defects Liability Period
is not specified, it shall be 365 days. The Defects Liability Period shall commence on the date of
provisional acceptance.
88.8 After provisional acceptance and without prejudice to the defects liability referred to in this GCC
Clause, the Contractor shall no longer be responsible for risks which may affect the works and
which result from causes not attributable to him. However, the Contractor shall be responsible as
from the date of provisional acceptance for the soundness of the construction, as laid down in the
in the Ethiopian law.
89. Final Acceptance
89.1 Upon the expiry of the Defects Liability Period, or where there is more than one such period, upon
the expiry of the latest period, and when all defects or damage have been rectified, the Engineer
shall issue to the Contractor a Final Acceptance Certificate and a copy thereof to the Public Body
stating the date on which the Contractor completed his obligations under the Contract to the
Engineer's satisfaction. The Final Acceptance Certificate shall be given by the Engineer within 30
days after the expiration of the above stated period, or as soon as any works ordered under GCC
Clause 88 have been completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
89.2 The works shall not be considered as completed until the Final Acceptance Certificate has been
signed by the Engineer and delivered to the Public Body, with a copy to the Contractor.
89.3 Notwithstanding the issue of the Final Acceptance Certificate, the Contractor and the Public Body
shall remain liable for the fulfillment of any obligation incurred under the contract prior to the

SBD-Works (NCB) - Prepared by the FPPA (Version 1, August 2011)

Document: General Conditions of Contract Page 66 of 52 Issued by:
 Part 3: Contract Section 7: General Conditions of
Contract

issue of the Final Acceptance Certificate, which remains unperformed at the time such Final
