FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE DES INGENIEURS-CONSEILS CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT FOR WORKS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION PART I GENERAL CONDITIONS WITH FORMS OF TENDER AND AGREEMENT PART II CONDITIONS OF PARTICULAR APPLICATION WITH GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF PART II CLAUSES FOURTH EDITION 1987 Reprinted 1988 with editorial amendments Reprinted 1992 with further amendments FOREWORD The terms of the Fourth Edition of the Conditions of Contract for Works of Civil Engineering Construction have been prepared by the Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs Conseils (FIDIC) and are recommended for general use for the purpose of construction of such works where tenders are invited on an intemational basis. The Conditions, subject to minor modifications, are also suitable for use on domestic contracts. The version in English of the Conditions is considered by FIDIC as the official and authentic text for the purpose of translation. In the preparation of the Conditions it was recognised that while there are numerous Clauses which will be generally applicable there are some Clauses which must necessarily vary to take account of the circumstances and locality of the Works. The Clauses of general application have been grouped together in this document and are referred to as Part 1 - General Conditions. They have been printed in a form which will facilitate their inclusion as printed in the contract documents normally prepared. The General Conditions are linked with the Conditions of Particular Application, referred to as Part 11, by the corresponding numbering of the Clauses, so that Parts 1 and 11 together comprise the Conditions governing the rights and obligations of the parties. Part II must be specially drafted to suit each individual Contract. When dredging and certain types of reclamation work are involved special consideration must be given to Part II. To assist in the preparation of Part II explanatory material and example clauses are published with the Conditions in a separately bound document entitled “Conditions of Contract for Works of Civil Engineering Construction, Part II Conditions of Particular Application, with Guidelines for preparation of Part II Clauses, Fourth Edition”. FIDIC has published a "Guide to the Use of FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Works of Civil Engineering Construction" which includes comments on the provisions of the Fourth Edition of the Conditions. Users of the Fourth Edition may find it helpful to refer to this Guide. It may also be helpful for users to refer to other FIDIC publications, such as: Tendering Procedure (First Edition 1982) Construction, Insurance and Law (1986) FIDIC gratefully acknowledges the suggestions and comments it has received during the preparation of this edition from European International Contractors (E1Q as mandatory of Confederation of International Contractors Associations (CICA) with participation of Associated General Contractors of America (AGC).  FIDIC 1987 CONTENTS PART 1: GENERAL CONDITIONS Definitions and Interpretation 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 Definitions Headings

Instructions given by the Engineer shall be in writing, provided that if for any reason the Engineer considers it necessary to give any such instruction orally, the Contractor shall comply with such instruction. Confirmation in writing of such oral instruction given by the Engineer, whether before or after the carrying out of the instruction, shall be deemed to be an instruction within the meaning of this Sub-Clause. Provided further that if the Contractor, within 7 days, confirms in writing to the Engineer any oral instruction of the Engineer and such confirmation is not contradicted in writing within 7 days by the Engineer, it shall be deemed to be an instruction of the Engineer.  FIDIC 1987 3 Engineer to Act Impartially 2.6 The provisions of this Sub-Clause shall equally apply to instructions given by the Engineer's Representative and any assistants of the Engineer or the Engineer’s Representative appointed pursuant to Sub-Clause 2.4.

The Contractor shall not subcontract the whole of the Works. Except where otherwise provided by the Contract, the Contractor shall not subcontract any part of the Works without the prior consent of the Engineer. Any such consent shall not relieve the Contractor from any liability or obligation under the Contract and he shall be responsible for the acts, defaults and neglects of any Subcontractor, his agents, servants or workmen as fully as if they were the acts, defaults or neglects of the Contractor, his agents, servants or workmen. Provided that the Contractor shall not be required to obtain such consent for: (a) the provision of labour, (b) the purchase of materials which are in accordance with the standards specified in the Contract, or (c) the subcontracting of any part of the Works for which the Subcontractor is named in the Contract. In the event of a Subcontractor having undertaken towards the Contractor in respect of the work executed, or the goods, materials, Plant or services supplied by such Subcontractor, any continuing obligation extending for a period exceeding that of the Defects Liability Period under the Contract, the Contractor shall at any time, after the expiration of such Period, assign to the Employer, at the Employer’s request and cost, the benefit of such obligation for the unexpired duration thereof. Contract Documents Lanquage/s and Law 5.1 There is stated in Part II of these Conditions: (a) the language or languages in which the Contract documents shall be drawn up, and (b) the country or state the law of which shall apply to the Contract and according to which the Contract shall be construed.  FIDIC 1987 4 Priority of Contract Documents 5.2 Custody and Supply of Drawings and Documents 6.1 One Copy of Drawings to be Kept on Site 6.2 Disruption of Progress 6.3 Delays and Cost of Delay of Drawings 6.4 Failure by Contractor to Submit Drawings 6.5 If the said documents are written in more than one language, the language according to which the Contract shall be construed and interpreted is also stated in Part II of these Conditions, being therein designated the “Ruling Language”. The several documents forming the Contract are to be taken as mutually explanatory of one another, but in case of ambiguities or discrepancies the same shall be explained and adjusted by the Engineer who shall thereupon issue to the Contractor instructions thereon and in such event, unless otherwise provided in the Contract, the priority of the documents forming the Contract shall be as follows: (1) The Contract Agreement (if completed); (2) The Letter of Acceptance; (3) The Tender; (4) Part II of these Conditions; (5) Part I of these Conditions; and (6) Any other document forming part of the Contract. The Drawings shall remain in the sole custody of the Engineer, but two copies thereof shall be provided to the Contractor free of charge. The Contractor shall make at his own cost any further copies required by him. Unless it is strictly necessary for the purposes of the Contract, the Drawings, Specification and other documents provided by the Employer or the Engineer shall not, without the consent of the Engineer, be used or communicated to a third party by the Contractor. Upon issue of the Defects Liability Certificate, the Contractor shall return to the Engineer all Drawings, Specification and other documents provided under the Contract. The Contractor shall supply to the Engineer four copies of all Drawings, Specification and other documents submitted by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer in accordance with Clause 7, together with a reproducible copy of any material which cannot be reproduced to an equal standard by photocopying. In addition the Contractor shall supply such further copies of such Drawings, Specification and other documents as the Engineer may request in writing for the use of the Employer, who shall pay the cost thereof. One copy of the Drawings, provided to or supplied by the Contractor as aforesaid, shall be kept by the Contractor on the Site and the same shall at all reasonable times be available for inspection and use by the Engineer and by any other person authorised by the Engineer in writing. The Contractor shall give notice to the Engineer, with a copy to the Employer, whenever planning or execution of the Works is likely to be delayed or disrupted unless any further drawing or instruction is issued by the Engineer within a reasonable time. The notice shall include details of the drawing or instruction required and of why and by when it is required and of any delay or disruption likely to be suffered if it is late. If, by reason of any failure or inability of the Engineer to issue, within a time reasonable in all the circumstances, any drawing or instruction for which notice has been given by the Contractor in accordance with Sub-Clause 63, the Contractor suffers delay and/or incurs costs then the Engineer shall, after due consultation with the Employer and the Contractor, determine: (a) any extension of time to which the Contractor is entitled under Clause 44, and (b) the amount of such costs, which shall be added to the Contract Price, and shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. If the failure or inability of the Engineer to issue any drawings or instructions is caused in whole or in part by the failure of the Contractor to submit Drawings, Specification or other documents which he is required to submit under the Contract, the Engineer shall take such failure. by the Contractor into account when making his determination pursuant to Sub-Clause 6.4.  FIDIC 1987 5 Supplementary Drawings and Instructions 7.1 Permanent Works Designed by Contractor 7.2 Responsibility Unaffected by Approval 7.3 The Engineer shall have authority to issue to the Contractor, from time to time, such supplementary Drawings and instructions as shall be necessary for the purpose of the proper and adequate execution and completion of the Works and the remedying of any defects therein. The Contractor shall carry out and be bound by the same. Where the Contract expressly provides that part of the Permanent Works shall be designed by the Contractor, he shall submit to the Engineer, for approval: (a) such drawings, specifications, calculations and other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the Engineer as to the suitability and adequacy of that design, and (b) operation and maintenance manuals together with drawings of the Permanent Works as completed, in sufficient detail to enable the Employer to operate, maintain, dismantle, reassemble and adjust the Permanent Works incorporating that design. The Works shall not be considered to be completed for the purposes of taking over in accordance with Clause 48 until such operation and maintenance manuals, together with drawings on completion, have been submitted to and approved by the Engineer Approval by the Engineer, in accordance with Sub-Clause 7.2, shall not relieve the Contractor of any of his responsibilities under the Contract. General Obligations Contractor’s General Responsibilities 8.1 Site Operations and Methods of Construction 8.2 Contract Agreement 9.1 Performance 10.1 Security The Contractor shall, with due care and diligence, design (to the extent provided for by the Contract), execute and complete the Works and remedy any defects therein in accordance with the provisions of the Contract. The Contractor shall provide all superintendence, labour, materials, Plant, Contractor’s Equipment and all other things, whether of a temporary or permanent nature, required in and for such design, execution, completion and remedying of any defects, so far as the necessity for providing the same is specified in or is reasonably to be inferred from the Contract. The Contractor shall give prompt notice to the Engineer, with a copy to the Employer, of any error, omission, fault or other defect in the design of or Specification for the Works which he discovers when reviewing the Contract or executing the Works. The Contractor shall take full responsibility for the adequacy, stability and safety of all Site operations and methods of construction. Provided that the Contractor shall not be responsible (except as stated hereunder or as may be otherwise agreed) for the design or specification of Permanent Works, or for the design or specification of any Temporary Works not prepared by the Contractor. Where the Contract expressly provides that part of the Permanent Works shall be designed by the Contractor, he shall be fully responsible for that part of such Works, notwithstanding any approval by the Engineer. The Contractor shall, if called upon so to do, enter into and execute the Contract Agreement, to be prepared and completed at the cost of the Employer, in the form annexed to these Conditions with such modification as may be necessary. If the Contract requires the Contractor to obtain security for his proper performance of the Contract, he shall obtain and provide to the Employer such security within 28 days after the receipt of the Letter of Acceptance, in the sum stated in the Appendix to Tender. When providing such security to the Employer, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer of so doing. Such security shall be in the form annexed to these Conditions or in such other form as may be agreed between the Employer and the Contractor. The institution providing such security shall be subject to the approval of the Employer. The cost of complying with the requirements of this Clause shall be borne by the Contractor, unless the Contract otherwise provides.  FIDIC 1987 6 Period of 10.2 Validity of Performance Security Claims under 10.3 Performance Security Inspection 11.1 of Site The performance security shall be valid until the Contractor has executed and completed the Works and remedied any defects therein in accordance with the Contract. No claim shall be made against such security after the issue of the Defects Liability Certificate in accordance with Sub-Clause 62.1 and such security shall be returned to the Contractor within 14 days of the issue of the said Defects Liability Certificate.

If any such part has been covered up or put out of view after compliance with the requirement of Sub-Clause 38.1 and is found to be executed in accordance with the Contract, the Engineer shall, after due consultation with the Employer and the Contractor, determine the amount of the Contractor’s costs in respect of such of uncovering, making openings in or through, reinstating and making good the same, which shall be added to the Contract Price, and shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. In any other case all costs shall be borne by the Contractor. The Engineer shall have authority to issue instructions from time to time, for: (a) the removal from the Site, within such time or times as may be specified in the instruction, of any materials or Plant which, in the opinion of the Engineer, are not in accordance with the Contract, (b) the substitution of proper and suitable materials or Plant, and (c) the removal and proper re-execution, notwithstanding any previous test thereof or interim payment therefor, of any work which, in respect of (i) materials, Plant or workmanship, or (ii) design by the Contractor or for which he is responsible, is not, in the opinion of the Engineer, in accordance with the Contract. In case of default on the part of the Contractor in carrying out such instruction within the time specified therein or, if none, within a reasonable time, the Employer shall be entitled to employ and pay other persons to carry out the same and all costs consequent thereon or incidental thereto shall, after due consultation with the Employer and the Contractor, be determined by the Engineer and shall be recoverable from the Contractor by the Employer, and may be deducted by the Employer from any monies due or to become due to the Contractor and the Engineer shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. Suspension Suspension 40. 1 of Work The Contractor shall, on the instructions of the Engineer, suspend the progress of he Works or any part thereof for such time and in such manner as the Engineer may consider necessary and shall, during such suspension, properly protect and secure the Works or such part thereof so far as is necessary in the opinion of the Engineer. Unless such suspension is: (a) otherwise provided for in the Contract, (b) necessary by reason of some default of or breach of contract by the Contractor or for which he is responsible,  FIDIC 1987 17 Engineer’s 40.2 Determination following Suspension, Suspension 40.3 lasting more than 84 Days (c) necessary by reason of climatic conditions on the Site, or (d) necessary for the proper execution of the Works or for the safety of the Works or any part thereof (save to the extent that such necessity arises from any act or default by the Engineer or the Employer or from any of the risks defined in Sub-Clause 20.4), Sub-Clause 40.2 shall apply. Where, pursuant to Sub-Clause 40.1, this Sub-Clause applies the Engineer shall after due consultation with the Employer and the Contractor, determine (a) any extension of time to which the Contractor is entitled under Clause 44, and (b) the amount, which shall be added to the Contract Price, in respect of the cost incurred by the Contractor by reason of such suspension, and shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. If the progress of the Works or any part thereof is suspended on the instructions of the Engineer and if permission to resume work is not given by the Engineer within a period of 84 days from the date of suspension then, unless such suspension is within paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) of Sub-Clause 40.1, the Contractor may give notice to the Engineer requiring permission, within 28 days from the receipt thereof, to proceed with the Works or that part thereof in regard to which progress is suspended. If, within the said time, such permission is not granted, the Contractor may, but is not bound to, elect to treat the suspension, where it affects part only of the Works, as an omission of such part under Clause 51 by giving a further notice to the Engineer to that effect, or, where it affects the whole of the Works, treat the suspension as an event of default by the Employer and terminate his employment under the Contract in accordance with the provisions of Sub-Clause 69.1, whereupon the provisions of Sub-Clauses 69.2 and 69.3 shall apply. Commencement and Delays Commencement 41.1 of Works Possession of 42.1 Site and Access Thereto The Contractor shall commence the Works as soon as is reasonably possible after the receipt by him of a notice to this effect from the Engineer, which notice shall be issued within the time stated in the Appendix to fender after the date of the Letter of Acceptance. Thereafter, the Contractor shall proceed with the Works with due expedition and without delay. Save insofar as the Contract may prescribe: (a) the extent of portions of the Site of which the Contractor is to be given possession from time to time (b) the order in which such portions shall be made available to the Contractor, and, subject to any requirement in the Contract as to the order in which the Works shall be executed, the Employer will, with the Engineer's notice to commence the Works, give to the Contractor possession of (c) so much of the Site, and (d) such access as, in accordance with the Contract, is to be provided by the Employer as may be required to enable the Contractor to commence and proceed with the execution of the Works in accordance with the programme referred to in Clause 14, if any, and otherwise in accordance with such reasonable proposals as the Contractor shall, by notice to the Engineer with a copy to the Employer, make. The Employer will, from time to time as the Works proceed, give to the Contractor possession of such further portions of the Site as may be required to enable the Contractor to proceed with the execution of the Works with due dispatch in accordance with such programme or proposals, as the case may be.  FIDIC 1987 18 Failure to Give 42.2 Possession Rights of Way 42.3 and Facilities Contractor Time for 43.1 Completion Extension of Time 44.1 for Completion Contractor 44.2 to Provide Notification and Detailed Particulars Interim 44.3 Determination of Extension If the Contractor suffers delay and/or incurs costs from failure on the part of the Employer to give possession in accordance with the terms of Sub-Clause 42. 1, the Engineer shall, after due consultation with the Employer and the Contractor, determine: (a) any extension of time to which the Contractor is entitled under Clause 44, and (b) the amount of such costs, which shall be added to the Contract Price, and shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. The Contractor shall bear all costs and charges for special or temporary rights of way required by him in connection with access to the Site. The shall also provide at his own cost any additional facilities outside the Site required by him for the purposes of the Works. The whole of the Works and, if applicable, any Section required to be completed within a particular time as stated in the Appendix to Tender, shall be completed in accordance with the provisions of Clause 48, within the time stated in the Appendix to Tender for the whole of the Works or the Section (as the case may be), calculated from the Commencement Date, or such extended time as may be allowed under Clause 44. In the event of: (a) the amount or nature of extra or additional work, (b) any cause of delay referred to in these Conditions, (c) exceptionally adverse climatic conditions, (d) any delay, impediment or prevention by the Employer, or (e) other special circumstances which may occur, other than through a default of or breach of contract by the Contractor or for which he is responsible, being such as fairly to entitle the Contractor to an extension of the Time for Completion of the Works, or any Section or part thereof, the Engineer shall, after due consultation with the Employer and the Contractor, determine the amount of such extension and shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. Provided that the Engineer is not bound to make any determination unless the Contractor has (a) within 28 days after such event has first arisen notified the Engineer with a copy to the Employer, and (b) within 28 days, or such other reasonable time as may be agreed by the Engineer, after such notification submitted to the Engineer detailed particulars of any extension of time to which he may consider himself entitled in order that such submission may be investigated at the time. Provided also that where an event has a continuing effect such that it is not practicable for the Contractor to submit detailed particulars within the period of 28 days referred to in Sub-Clause 44.2(b), he shall nevertheless be entitled to an extension of time provided that he has submitted to the Engineer interim particulars at intervals of not more than 28 days and final particulars within 28 days of the end of the effects resulting from the event. On receipt of such interim particulars, the Engineer shall, without undue delay, make an interim determination of extension of time and, on receipt of the final particulars, the Engineer shall review all the circumstances and shall determine an overall extension of time in regard to the event. In both such cases the Engineer shall make his determination after due consultation with the Employer and the Contractor and shall notify the Contractor of the determination, with a copy to the Employer. No final review shall result in a decrease of any extension of time already determined by the Engineer.  FIDIC 1987 19 Restriction on 45.1 Working Hours Rate of Progress 46.1 Liquidated 47.1 Damages for Delay Reduction of 47.2 Liquidated Damages Subject to any provision to the contrary contained in the Contract, none of the Works shall, save as hereinafter provided, be carried on during the night or on locally recognised days of rest without the consent of the Engineer, except when work is unavoidable or absolutely necessary for the saving of life or property or for the safety of the Works, in which case the Contractor shall immediately advise the Engineer. Provided that the provisions of this Clause shall not be applicable in the case of any work which it is customary to carry out by multiple shifts. If for any reason, which does not entitle the Contractor to an extension of time, the rate of progress of the Works or any Section is at any time, in the opinion of the Engineer, too slow to comply with the Time for Completion, the Engineer shall so notify the Contractor who shall thereupon take such steps as are necessary, subject to the consent of the Engineer, to expedite progress so as to comply with the Time for Completion. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional payment for taking such steps. If, as a result of any notice given by the Engineer under this Clause, the Contractor considers that it is necessary to do any work at night or on locally recognised days of rest, he shall be entitled to seek the consent of the Engineer so to do. Provided that if any steps, taken by the Contractor in meeting his obligations under this Clause, involve the Employer in additional supervision costs, such costs shall, after due consultation with the Employer and the Contractor, be determined by the Engineer and shall be recoverable from the Contractor by the Employer, and may be deducted by the Employer from any monies due or to become due to the Contractor and the Engineer shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. If the Contractor fails to comply with the Time for Completion in accordance with Clause 48, for the whole of the Works or, if applicable, any Section within the relevant time prescribed by Clause 43, then the Contractor shall pay to the Employer the relevant sum stated in the Appendix to Tender as liquidated damages for such default and not as a penalty (which sum shall be the only monies due from the Contractor for such default) for every day or part of a day which shall elapse between the relevant Time for Completion and the date stated in a Taking-Over Certificate of the whole of the Works or the relevant Section, subject to the applicable limit stated in the Appendix to Tender. The Employer may, without prejudice to any other method of recovery, deduct the amount of such damages from any monies due or to become due to the Contractor. The payment or deduction of such damages shall not relieve the Contractor from his obligation to complete the Works, or from any other of his obligations and liabilities under the Contract. If, before the Time for Completion of the whole of the Works or, if applicable, any Section, a Taking-Over Certificate has been issued for any part of the Works or of a Section, the liquidated damages for delay in completion of the remainder of the Works or of that Section shall, for any period of delay after the date stated in such Taking-Over Certificate, and in the absence of alternative provisions in the Contract, be reduced in the proportion which the value of the part so certified bears to the value of the whole of the Works or Section, as applicable. The provisions of this Sub-Clause shall only apply to the rate of liquidated damages and shall not affect the limit thereof.  FIDIC 1987 20 Taking-Over 48.1 Certificate Taking Over of 48.2 Sections or Parts Substantial 48.3 Completion of Parts Surfaces 48.4 Requiring Reinstatement When the whole of the Works have been substantially completed and have satisfactorily passed any Tests on Completion prescribed by the Contract, the Contractor may give a notice to that effect to the Engineer, with a copy to the Employer, accompanied by a written undertaking to finish with due expedition any outstanding work during the Defects Liability Period. Such notice and undertaking shall be deemed to be a request by the Contractor for the Engineer to issue a Taking-Over Certificate in respect of the Works. The Engineer shall, within 21 days of the date of delivery of such notice, either issue to the Contractor, with a copy to the Employer, a Taking-Over Certificate, stating the date on which, in his opinion, the Works were substantially completed in accordance with the Contract, or give instructions in writing to the Contractor specifying all the work which, in the Engineer's opinion, is required to be done by the Contractor before the issue of such Certificate. The Engineer shall also notify the Contractor of any defects in the Works affecting substantial completion that may appear after such instructions and before completion of -Over Certificate within 21 days of completion, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, of the Works so specified and remedying any defects so notified. Similarly, in accordance with the procedure set out in Sub-Clause 48.1, the Contractor may request and the Engineer shall issue a Taking-Over Certificate in respect of: (a) any Section in respect of which a separate Time for Completion is provided in the Appendix to Tender, (b) any substantial part of the Permanent Works which has been both completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer and, otherwise than as provided for in the Contract, occupied or used by the Employer, or (c) any part of the Permanent Works which the Employer has elected to occupy or use prior to completion (where such prior occupation or use is not provided for in the Contract or has not been agreed by the Contractor as a temporary measure). If any part of the Permanent Works has been substantially completed and has satisfactorily passed any Tests on Completion prescribed by the Contract, the Engineer may issue a Taking-Over Certificate in respect of that part of the Permanent Works before completion of the whole of the Works and, upon the issue of such Certificate, the Contractor shall be deemed to have undertaken to complete with due expedition any outstanding work in that part of the Permanent Works during the Defects Liability Period. Provided that a Taking-Over Certificate given in respect of any Section or part of the Permanent Works before completion of the whole of the Works shall not be deemed to certify completion of any ground or surfaces requiring reinstatement, unless such Taking-Over Certificate shall expressly so state. Defects Liability Defects Liability 49.1 Period In these Conditions the expression “Defects Liability Period” shall mean the defects liability period named in the Appendix to Tender, calculated from: (a) the date of completion of the Works certified by the Engineer in accordance with Clause 48, or (b) in the event of more than one certificate having been issued by the Engineer under Clause 48, the respective dates so certified, and in relation to the Defects Liability Period the expression “the Works” shall be construed accordingly.  FIDIC 1987 21 Completion of 49.2 Outstanding Work and Remedying Defects Cost of 49.3 Remedying Defects Contractor’s 49.4 Failure to Carry Out Instructions Contractor 50.1 to Search To the intent that the Works shall, at or as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Defects Liability Period, be delivered to the Employer in the condition required by the Contract, fair wear and tear excepted, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, the Contractor shall: (a) complete the work, if any, outstanding on the date stated in the Taking-Over Certificate as soon as practicable after such date, and (b) execute all such work of amendment, reconstruction, and remedying defects, shrinkages or other faults as the Engineer may, during the Defects Liability Period or within 14 days after its expiration, as a result of an inspection made by or on behalf of the Engineer prior to its expiration, instruct the Contractor to execute. All work referred to in Sub-Clause 49.2 (b) shall be executed by the Contractor at his own cost if the necessity thereof is, in the opinion of the Engineer, due to: (a) the use of materials, Plant or workmanship not in accordance with the Contract, (b) where the Contractor is responsible for the design of part of the Permanent Works, any fault in such design, or (c) he neglect or failure on the part of the Contractor to comply with any obligation, expressed or implied, on the Contractor’s part under the Contract. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, such necessity is due to any other cause, he shall determine an addition to the Contract Price in accordance with Clause 52 and shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. In case of default on the part of the Contractor in carrying out such instruction within a reasonable time, the Employer shall be entitled to employ and pay other persons to carry out the same and if such work is work which, in the opinion of the Engineer, the Contractor was liable to do at his own cost under the Contract, then all costs consequent thereon or incidental thereto shall, after due consultation with the Employer and the Contractor, be determined by the Engineer and shall be recoverable from the Contractor by the Employer, and may be deducted by the Employer from any monies due or to become due to the Contractor and the Engineer shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. If any defect, shrinkage or other fault in the Works appears at any time prior to the end of the Defects Liability Period, the Engineer may instruct the Contractor, with copy to the Employer, to search under the directions of the Engineer for the cause thereof. Unless such defect, shrinkage or other fault is one for which the Contractor is liable under the Contract, the Engineer shall, after due consultation with the Employer and the Contractor, determine the amount in respect of the costs of such search incurred by the Contractor, which shall be added to the Contract Price and shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. If such defect, shrinkage or other fault is one for which the Contractor is liable, the cost of the work carried out in searching as aforesaid shall be borne by the Contractor and he shall in such case remedy such defect, shrinkage or other fault at his own cost in accordance with the provisions of Clause 49. Alterations, Additions and Omissions Variations 51.1 The Engineer shall make any variation of the form, quality or quantity of the Works or any part thereof that may, in his opinion, be necessary and for that purpose, or if for any other reason it shall, in his opinion, be appropriate, he shall have the authority to instruct the Contractor to do and the Contractor shall do any of the following: (a) increase or decrease the quantity of any work included in the Contract, (b) omit any such work (but not if the omitted work is to be carried out by the (c) Employer or by another contractor),  FIDIC 1987 22 Instructions for 51.2 Variations Valuation of 52.1 Variations Power 52.2 of Engineer to Fix Rates Variations 52.3 Exceeding 15 per cent (d) change the character or quality or kind of any such work, (e) change the levels, lines, position and dimensions of any part of the Works, (f) execute additional work of any kind necessary for the completion of the Works, or (g) change any specified sequence or timing of construction of any part of the Works. No such variation shall in any way vitiate or invalidate the Contract, but the effect, if any, of all such variations shall be valued in accordance with Clause 52. Provided that where the issue of an instruction to vary the Works is necessitated by some default of or breach of contract by the Contractor or for which he is responsible, any additional cost attributable to such default shall be borne by the Contractor. The Contractor shall not make any such variation without an instruction of the Engineer. Provided that no instruction shall be required for increase or decrease in the quantity of any work where such increase or decrease is not the result of an instruction given under this Clause, but is the result of the quantities exceeding or being less than those stated in the Bill of Quantities. All variations referred to in Clause 51 and any additions to the Contract Price which are required to be determined in accordance with Clause 52 (for the purposes of this Clause referred to as “varied work”), shall be valued at the rates and prices set out in the Contract if, in the opinion of the Engineer, the same shall be applicable. If the Contract does not contain any rates or prices applicable to the varied work, the rates and prices in the Contract shall be used as the basis for valuation so far as may be reasonable, failing which, after due consultation by the Engineer with the Employer and the Contractor, suitable rates or prices shall be agreed upon between the Engineer and the Contractor. In the event of disagreement the Engineer shall fix such rates or prices as are, in his opinion, appropriate and shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. Until such time as rates or prices are agreed or fixed, the Engineer shall determine provisional rates or prices to enable on-account payments to be included in certificates issued in accordance with Clause 60. Provided that if the nature or amount of any varied work relative to the nature or amount of the whole of the Works or to any part thereof, is such that, in the opinion of the Engineer, the rate or price contained in the Contract for any item of the Works is, by reason of such varied work, rendered inappropriate or inapplicable, then, after due consultation by the Engineer with the Employer and the Contractor, a suitable rate or price shall be agreed upon between the Engineer and the Contractor. In the event of disagreement the Engineer shall fix such other rate or price as is, in his opinion, appropriate and shall notify the Contractor accordingly, with a copy to the Employer. Until such time as rates or prices are agreed or fixed, the Engineer shall determine provisional rates or prices to enable on-account payments to be included in certificates issued in accordance with Clause 60. Provided also that no varied work instructed to be done by the Engineer pursuant to Clause 51 shall be valued under Sub-Clause 52.1 or under this Sub-Clause unless, within 14 days of the date of such instruction and, other than in the case of omitted work, before the commencement of the varied work, notice shall have been given either: (a) by the Contractor to the Engineer of his intention to claim extra payment or a varied rate or price, or (b) by the Engineer to the Contractor of his intention to vary a rate or a price If, on the issue of the Taking-Over Certificate for the whole of the Works, it is found that as a result of: (a) all varied work valued under Sub-Clauses 52.1 and 52.2, and  FIDIC 1987 23 Daywork 52.4 (b) all adjustments upon measurement of the estimated quantities set out in the Bill of Quantities, excluding Provisional Sums, dayworks and adjustments of price made under Clause 70, but not from any other cause, there have been additions to or deductions from the Contract Price which taken together are in excess of 15 per cent of the “Effective Contract Price” (which for the purposes of this Sub-Clause shall mean the Contract Price, excluding Provisional Sums and allowance for dayworks, if any) then and in such event (subject to any action already taken under any other Sub-Clause of this Clause), after due consultation by the Engineer with the Employer and the Contractor, there shall be added to or deducted from the Contract Price such further sum as may be agreed between the Contractor and the Engineer or, failing agreement, determined by the Engineer having regard to the Contractor’s Site and general overhead costs of the Contract. The Engineer shall notify the Contractor of any determination made under this Sub-Clause, with a copy to the Employer. Such sum shall be based only on the amount by which such additions or deductions shall be in excess of 15 per cent of the Effective Contract Price. The Engineer may, if in his opinion it is necessary or desirable, issue an instruction that any varied work shall be executed on a daywork basis. The Contractor shall then be paid for such varied work under the terms set out in the daywork schedule included in the Contract and at the rates and prices affixed thereto by him in the Tender. The Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer such receipts or other vouchers as may be necessary to prove the amounts paid and, before ordering materials, shall submit to the Engineer quotations for the same for his approval. In respect of such of the Works executed on a daywork basis, the Contractor shall, during the continuance of such work, deliver each day to the Engineer an exact list in duplicate of the names, occupation and time of all workmen employed on such work and a statement, also in duplicate, showing the description and quantity of all materials and Contractor's Equipment used thereon or therefor other than Contractor's Equipment which is included in the percentage addition in accordance with such daywork schedule. One copy of each list and statement will, if correct, or when agreed, be signed by the Engineer and returned to the Contractor. At the end of each month the Contractor shall deliver to the Engineer a priced statement of the labour, materials and Contractor's Equipment, except as aforesaid, used and the Contractor shall not be entitled to any payment unless such lists and statements have been fully and punctually rendered. Provided always that if the Engineer considers that for any reason the sending of such lists or statements by the Contractor, in accordance with the foregoing provision, was impracticable he shall nevertheless be entitled to authorise payment for such work, either as daywork, on being satisfied as to the time employed and the labour, materials and Contractor's Equipment used on such work, or at such value therefor as shall, in his opinion, be fair and reasonable. Procedure for Claims Notice of Claims 53.1 Contemporary 53.2 Records Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract, if the Contractor intends to claim any additional payment pursuant to any Clause of these Conditions or otherwise, he shall give notice of his intention to the Engineer, with a copy to the Employer, within 28 days after the event giving rise to the claim has first arisen. Upon the happening of the event referred to in Sub-Clause 53.1, the Contractor shall keep such contemporary records as may reasonably be necessary to support any claim he may subsequently wish to make. Without necessarily admitting the Employer's liability, the Engineer shall, on receipt of a notice under Sub-Clause 53.1, inspect such contemporary records and may instruct the Contractor to keep  FIDIC 1987 24 Substantiation 53.3 of Claims Failure to Comply 53.4 Payment of Claims 53.5 any further contemporary records as are reasonable and may be material to the claim of which notice has been given. The Contractor shall permit the Engineer to inspect all records kept pursuant to this Sub-Clause and shall supply him with copies thereof as and when the Engineer so instructs. Within 28 days, or such other reasonable time as may be agreed by the Engineer, of giving notice under Sub-Clause 53.1, the Contractor shall send to the Engineer an account giving detailed particulars of the amount claimed and the grounds upon which the claim is based. Where the event giving rise to the claim has a continuing effect, such account shall be considered to be an interim account and the Contractor shall, at such intervals as the Engineer may reasonably require, send further interim accounts giving the accumulated amount of the claim and any further grounds upon which it is based. In cases where interim accounts are sent to the Engineer, the Contractor shall send a final account within 28 days of the end of the effects resulting from the event. The Contractor shall, if required by the Engineer so to do, copy to the Employer all accounts sent to the Engineer pursuant to this Sub-Clause. If the Contractor fails to comply with any of the provisions of this Clause in respect of any claim which he seeks to make, his entitlement to payment in respect thereof shall not exceed such amount as the Engineer or any arbitrator or arbitrators appointed pursuant to Sub-Clause 67.3 assessing the claim considers to be verified by contemporary records (whether or not such records were brought to the Engineer's notice as required under Sub-Clauses 53.2 and 53.3). The Contractor shall be entitled to have included in any interim payment certified by the Engineer pursuant to Clause 60 such amount in respect of any claim as the Engineer, after due consultation with the Employer and the Contractor, may consider due to the Contractor provided that the Contractor has supplied sufficient particulars to enable the Engineer to determine the amount due. If such particulars are insufficient to substantiate the whole of the claim, the Contractor shall be entitled to payment in respect of such part of the claim as such particulars may substantiate to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The Engineer shall notify the Contractor of any determination made under this Sub-Clause, with a copy to the Employer. Contractor’s Equipment, Temporary Works and Materials Contractor’s 54.1 Equipment, Temporary Works and Materials; Exclusive Use for the Works Employer not 54.2 Liable for Damage Customs 54.3 Clearance Re-export of 54.4 Contractor’s Equipment All Contractor’s Equipment, Temporary Works and materials provided by the Contractor shall, when brought on to 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. Provided that consent shall not be required for vehicles engaged in transporting any staff, labour, Contractor’s Equipment, Temporary Works, Plant or materials to or from the Site. The Employer shall not at any time be liable, save as mentioned in Clauses 20 and 65, for the loss of or damage to any of the said Contractor's Equipment, Temporary Works or materials. The Employer will use his best endeavours in assisting the Contractor, where required, in obtaining clearance through the Customs of Contractor's Equipment, materials and other things required for the Works. In respect of any Contractor’s Equipment which the Contractor has imported for the purposes of the Works, the Employer will use his best endeavours to assist the Contractor, where required, in procuring any necessary Government consent to the re-export of such Contractor’s Equipment by the Contractor upon the removal thereof pursuant to the terms of the Contract.  FIDIC 1987 25 Conditions of Hire 54.5 of Contractor’s Equipment Costs for the 54.6 Purpose of Clause 63 Incorporation of 54.7 Clause in Subcontracts Approval of 54.8 Materials not Implied With a view to securing, in the event of termination under Clause 63, the continued availability, for the purpose of executing the Works, of any hired Contractor’s Equipment, the Contractor shall not bring on to the Site any hired Contractor’s Equipment unless there is an agreement for the hire thereof (which agreement shall be deemed not to include an agreement for hire purchase) which contains a provision that the owner thereof will, on request in writing made by the Employer within 7 days after the date on which any termination has become effective, and on the Employer undertaking to pay all hire charges in respect thereof from such date, hire such Contractor’s Equipment to the Employer on the same terms in all respects as the same was hired to the Contractor save that the Employer shall be entitled to permit the use thereof by any other contractor employed by him for the purpose of executing and completing the Works and remedying any defects therein, under the terms of the said Clause 63. In the event of the Employer entering into any agreement for the hire of Contractor’s Equipment pursuant to Sub-Clause 54.5, all sums properly paid by the Employer under the provisions of any such agreement and all costs incurred by him (including stamp duties) in entering into such agreement shall be deemed, for the purpose of Clause 63, to be part of the cost of executing and completing the Works and the remedying of any defects therein. The Contractor shall, where entering into any subcontract for the execution of any part of the Works, incorporate in such subcontract (by reference or otherwise) the provisions of this Clause in relation to Contractor's Equipment, Temporary Works or materials brought on to the Site by the Subcontractor. The operation of this Clause shall not be deemed to imply any approval by the Engineer of the materials or other matters referred to therein nor shall it prevent he rejection of any such materials at any time by the Engineer. Measurement Quantities 55.1 Work to be 56.1 Measured The quantities set out in the Bill of Quantities are the estimated quantities for the Works, and they are not to be taken as the actual and correct quantities of the Works to be executed by the Contractor in fulfilment of his obligations under the Contract. The Engineer, shall except as otherwise stated, ascertain and determine by measurement the value of the Works in accordance with the Contract and the Contractor shall be paid that value in accordance with Clause 60. The Engineer shall, when he requires any part of the Works to be measured, give reasonable notice to the Contractor’s authorised agent, who shall: (a) forthwith attend or send a qualified representative to assist the Engineer in making such measurement, and (b) supply all particulars required by the Engineer. should the Contractor not attend, or neglect or omit to send such representative, then the measurement made by the Engineer or approved by him shall be taken to be the correct measurement of such part of the Works. For the purpose of measuring such Permanent Works as are to be measured by records and drawings, the Engineer shall prepare records and drawings as the work proceeds and the Contractor, as and when called upon to do so in writing, shall, within 14 days, attend to examine and agree such records and drawings with the Engineer and shall sign the same when so agreed. If the Contractor does not attend to examine and agree such records and drawings, they shall be taken to be correct. If, after examination of such records and drawings, the Contractor does not agree the same or does not sign the same as agreed, they shall nevertheless be taken to be correct, unless the Contractor, within 14 days of such examination, lodges with the Engineer notice of the respects in which such records and drawings are claimed by him to be incorrect. On receipt of such notice, the Engineer shall review the records and drawings and either confirm or vary them.  FIDIC 1987 26 Method of 57.1 Measurement Breakdown of 57.2 Lump Sum Items The Works shall be measured net, notwithstanding any general or local custom, except where otherwise provided for in the Contract. For the purposes of statements submitted in accordance with Sub-Clause 60.1, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer, within 28 days after the receipt of the Letter of Acceptance, a breakdown for each of the lump sum items contained in the Tender. Such breakdowns shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. Provisional Sums Definition of 58.1 “Provisional Sum” Use of 58.2 Provisional Sums Production of 58.3 Vouchers “Provisional Sum” means a sum included in the Contract and so designated in the Bill of Quantities for the execution of any part of the Works or for the supply of goods, materials, Plant or services, or for contingencies, which sum may be used, in whole or in part, or not at all, on the instructions of the Engineer.

The Employer or such other contractor may use for such completion so much of the Contractor’s Equipment, Temporary Works and materials as he or they may think proper. The Engineer shall, as soon as may be practicable after any such entry and termination by the Employer, fix and determine ex parte, or by or after reference to the parties or after such investigation or enquiries as he may think fit to make or institute, and shall certify: (a) what amount (if any) had, at the time of such entry and termination, been reasonably earned by or would reasonably accrue to the Contractor in respect of work then actually done by him under the Contract, and (b) the value of any of the said unused or partially used materials, any Contractor’s Equipment and any Temporary Works.

Currency and Rates of Exchange Currency 71.1 Restrictions Rates of 72.1 Exchange If, after the date 28 days prior to the latest date for submission of tenders for the Contract, the Government or authorised agency of the Government of the country in which the Works are being or are to be executed imposes currency restrictions and/or transfer of currency restrictions in relation to the currency or currencies in which the Contract Price is to be paid, the Employer shall reimburse any loss or damage to the Contractor arising therefrom, without prejudice to the right of the Contractor to exercise any other rights or remedies to which he is entitled in such event. Where the Contract provides for payment in whole or in part to be made to the Contractor in foreign currency or currencies, such payment shall not be subject to variations in the rate or rates of exchange between such specified foreign currency or currencies and the currency of the country in which the Works are to be executed.  FIDIC 1987 37 Currency 72.2 Proportions Currencies of 72.3 Payment for Provisional Sums Where the Employer has required the Tender to be expressed in a single currency but with payment to be made in more than one currency and the Contractor has stated the proportions or amounts of other currency or currencies in which he requires payment to be made, the rate or rates of exchange applicable for calculating the payment of such proportions or amounts shall, unless otherwise stated in Part II of these Conditions, be those prevailing, as determined by the Central Bank of the country in which the Works are to be executed, on the date 28 days prior to the latest date for the submission of tenders for the Contract, as has been notified to the Contractor by the Employer prior to the submission of tenders or as provided for in the Tender. Where the Contract provides for payment in more than one currency, the proportions or amounts to be paid in foreign currencies in respect of Provisional Sums shall be determined in accordance with the principles set forth in Sub-Clauses 72.1 and 72.2 as and when these sums are utilised in whole or in part in accordance with the provisions of Clauses 58 and 59. REFERENCE TO PART II As stated in the Foreword at the beginning of this document, the FIDIC Conditions comprise both Part I and Part II. Certain Clauses, namely Sub-Clauses 1.1 paragraph (a) (i) and (v), 5.1 (part), 14.1, 14.3, 68.2 and 70.1 must include additional wording in Part II for the Conditions to be complete.

The Conditions, subject to minor modifications, are also suitable for use on domestic contracts. The version in English of the Conditions is considered by FIDIC as the official and authentic text for the purpose of translation. The Clauses of general application have been grouped together in a separately bound document and are referred to as Part I-General Conditions. They have been printed in a form which will facilitate their inclusion, as printed, in the contract documents normally prepared. In the preparation of the Conditions it was recognised that while there are numerous Clauses which will be generally applicable there are some Clauses which must necessarily vary to take account of the circumstances and locality of the Works. Part I - General Conditions and Part II - Conditions of Particular Application together comprise the Conditions governing the rights and obligations of the parties. For this reason a Part II standard form has not been produced. It will be necessary to prepare a Part II document for each individual contract and the Guidelines are intended to aid in this task by giving options for various clauses where appropriate. Part II clauses may arise for one or more reasons, of which the following are examples: (i) Where the wording in Part I specifically requires that further information is to be included in Part II and the Conditions would not be complete without that information, namely in Sub-Clauses 1.1 paragraphs (a) (i) and (iv), 5.1 (part), 14.1, 14.3, 68.2 and 70.1 (ii) Where the wording in Part I indicates that supplementary information may be included in Part 11, but the conditions would still be complete without any such information, namely in Sub-Clauses 2.1 paragraph (b), 5.1 (part), 21.1 paragraph (b) and 72.2. (iii) Where the type, circumstances or locality of the Works necessitates additional Clauses or Sub-Clauses. (iv) Where the law of the country or exceptional circumstances necessitate an alteration in Part I. Such alterations should be effected by stating in Part II that a particular Clause, or part of a Clause, in Part I is deleted and giving the substitute Clause, or part, as applicable. As far as possible, in the Clauses that are mentioned hereunder, example wording is provided. In the case of some Clauses, however, only an aide-memoire for the preparation is given. Before incorporating any example wording it must be checked to ensure that it is wholly suitable for the particular circumstances and, if not, it must be varied. Where example wording is varied and in all cases where additional material is included in Part II, care must be taken that no ambiguity is created with Part 1 or between the Clauses in Part II. 1 Dredging and Reclamation Work Special consideration must be given to Part II where dredging and certain types of reclamation work are involved. Dredgers are considerably more expensive than most items of Contractor's Equipment and the capital value of a dredger can often exceed the value of the Contract on which it is used. For this reason, it is in the interests of both the Employer and the Contractor that a dredger is operated intensively in the most economic fashion, subject to the quality of work and any other over-riding factors. With this end in view, it is customary to allow the Contractor to execute dredging work continuously by day and by night seven days a week. Another difference from most civil engineering is that on dredging work the Contractor is not normally held responsible for the remedying of defects after the date of completion as certified under Clause 48. Part II contains explanations and example wording to cover the above points and others relating to dredging. Clauses 11, 12, 18, 19,28,40,45,49,50 and 51 are those which most often require attention in Part II when dredging work is involved and reference is included under each of these Clauses. Other Clauses may also need additions in Part II in certain circumstances. Reclamation work varies greatly in character and each instance must be considered before deciding whether it is appropriate to introduce in Part II changes similar to those adopted for dredging, or to use the standard civil engineering form unaltered. 2 PART II CONDITIONS OF PARTICULAR APPLICATION Clause 1 Sub-Clause 1.1 – Definitions Definitions (a) (i) The Employer is (insert name) (a) (iv) The Engineer is (insert name) If further definitions are essential, additions should be made to the list. Clause 2 Sub-Clause 2.1 - Engineer’s Duties Engineer’s Duties EXAMPLE The Engineer shall obtain the specific approval of the Employer before carrying out his duties in accordance with the following Clauses of Part 1: (a) Clause (insert applicable number) (b) Clause (insert applicable number) (c) Clause (insert applicable number) This list should be extended or reduced as necessary. In some cases the obligation to obtain the approval of the Employer may apply to only one Sub-Clause out of several in a Clause or approval may only be necessary beyond certain limits, monetary or otherwise. Where this is so, the example wording must be varied. If the obligation to obtain the approval of the Employer could lead to the Engineer being unable to take action in an emergency, where matters of safety are involved, an additional paragraph may be necessary. EXAMPLE Notwithstanding the obligation, as set out above, to obtain approval, if, in the opinion of the Engineer, an emergency occurs affecting the safety of life or of the Works or of adjoining property, he may, without relieving the Contractor of any of his duties and responsibilities under the Contract, instruct the Contractor to execute all such work or to do all such things as may, in the opinion of the Engineer, be necessary to abate or reduce the risk.

Conversion between the currencies stated in such Table other than the (insert name of currency) shall be made at rates of exchange determined by use of the relative rates of exchange between such currencies and the (insert name of currency) set out therein. Payments to Contractor 60. All payments to the Contractor by the Employer shall be made: (a) in the case of payment(s) under Sub-Clause(s) 70.2 and (insert number of any other applicable Clause), in (insert name of currency/ies); (b) in the case of payments for certain provisional sum items excluded from the Appendix to Tender, in the currencies and proportions applicable to these items at the time when the Engineer gives instructions for the work covered by these items to be carried out; and (c) in any other case, including Increase or Decrease of Costs under Sub-Clause 70.1, in the currencies and proportions stated in the Appendix to Tender as applicable to such payment provided that the proportions of currencies stated in the Appendix to Tender may from time to time upon the application of either party be varied as may be agreed. Payments to Employer 60. All payments to the Employer by the Contractor including payments made by way of deduction or set-off shall be made: (a) in the case of credit(s) under Sub-Clause(s) 70.2 and (insert number of any other applicable Clause) in (insert name of currency/ies); (b) in the case of liquidated damages under Clause 47, in (insert name of currency/ies); (c) in the case of reimbursement of any sum previously expended by the Employer, in the currency in which the sum was expended by the Employer; and (d) in any other case, in such currency as may be agreed. If the part payable in a particular currency of any sum payable to the Contractor is wholly or partly insufficient to satisfy by way of deduction or set-off a payment due to the Employer in that currency, in accordance with the provisions of this Sub-Clause, then the Employer may if he so desires make such deduction or set-off wholly or partly as the case may be from the balance of such sum payable in other currencies. Where all payments are to be made in one currency the following Sub-Clause may be added: EXAMPLE SUB-CLAUSE (to be numbered, as appropriate) Currency of 60. The currency of account shall be the (insert name of currency) and all payments Account made in accordance with the Contract shall be in (insert name of currency). Such and Payments (insert name of currency), other than for local costs, shall be fully convertible. The percentage of such payments attributed to local costs shall be as stated in the Appendix to Tender. 18 Where place of payment is to be defined the following Sub-Clause may be added: EXAMPLE SUB-CLAUSE (to be numbered, as appropriate) Place of Payment 60. Payments to the Contractor by the Employer shall be made into a bank account nominated by the Contractor in the country of the currency of payment. Where payment is to be made in more than one currency separate bank accounts shall be nominated by the Contractor in the country of each currency and payments shall be made by the Employer accordingly. Where provision is to be included for an advance payment the following Sub-Clause may be added: EXAMPLE SUB-CLAUSE (to be numbered, as appropriate) Advance Payment 60. An advance payment of the amount stated in the Appendix to Tender shall, following the presentation by the Contractor to the Employer of an approved performance security in accordance with Sub-Clause 10.1 and a Guarantee in terms approved by the Employer for the full value of the advance payment, be certified by the Engineer for payment to the Contractor. Such Guarantee shall be progressively reduced by the amount repaid by the Contractor as indicated in Interim Payment Certificates of the Engineer issued in accordance with this Clause. The advance payment shall not be subject to retention. The advance payment shall be repaid by way of reduction in Interim Payment Certificates commencing with the next certificate issued after the total certified value of the Permanent Works and any other items in the Bill of Quantities (excluding the deduction of retention) exceeds (insert figure) per cent of the sum stated in the Letter of Acceptance. The amount of the reduction in each Interim Payment Certificate shall be one (insert fraction) of the difference between the total value of the Permanent Works and any other items in the Bill of Quantities (excluding the deduction of retention) due for certification in such Interim Payment Certificate and the said value in the last preceding Interim Payment Certificate until the advance payment has been repaid in full. Provided upon the issue of a Taking-Over Certificate for the whole of the Works or upon the happening of any of the events specified in Sub-Clause 63.1 or termination under Clauses 65, 66 or 69, the whole of the balance then outstanding shall immediately become due and payable by the Contractor to the Employer. Settlement of Disputes Clause 67 Where it is considered desirable to add to Sub-Clauses 67.3 provisions with respect to the number of arbitrators, the place of arbitration and the language of arbitration, the following paragraphs may be added to Sub-Clause 67.3: EXAMPLE The arbitral tribunal shall consist of ……(a sole or three) arbitrator(s). The place of arbitration shall be ……(city and country). The language of the arbitration shall be ....... It is desirable that the place of arbitration be situated in a state, other than that of the Employer or the Contractor, which has a modem and liberal arbitration law and which has ratified a bilateral or multilateral convention (such as the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards), or both, that would facilitate the enforcement of an arbitral award in the states of the parties to the Contract. In the absence of stipulations as to the three above mentioned matters, (number of arbitrators, place of arbitration and language of arbitration), the ICC will decide on the number of arbitrators (typically three in any substantial construction dispute) and on the place of arbitration. The arbitral tribunal will decide on the language of the arbitration if the parties cannot agree. It may also be considered desirable in some cases for other parties to be joined into any arbitration between the Employer and the Contractor, thereby creating a multi-party arbitration. While this may be feasible, multi-party arbitration clauses require skillful draftmanship on a case-by-case basis. No satisfactory standard form of multi-party arbitration clause for international use has yet been developed. 19 Where it is decided that a settlement of dispute procedure, other than that of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), should be used the Clause may be varied. Sub-Clause 67.3 - Arbitration EXAMPLE Following paragraph (b), delete the words "shall be finally settled... International Chamber of Commerce” and substitute "shall be finally settled under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules as administered by (insert name of administering authority)”. Where alternatives to the ICC are considered care should be taken to establish that the favoured alternative is appropriate for the circumstances of the Contract and that the wording of Clause 67 is checked and amended as may be necessary to avoid any ambiguity with the alternative. Care should be taken to define exactly how the arbitral tribunal is to be appointed and, where appropriate, an appointing authority should be designated. Notices Clause 68 Sub-Clause 68.2 - Notice to Employer and Engineer For the purposes of this Sub-Clause the respective addresses are: (a) The Employer (insert address) (b) The Engineer (insert address) The addresses should be inserted when the documents are being prepared prior to inviting tenders. Default of Employer Clause 69 Sub-Clause 69.1 - Default of Employer Where the Employer is a government it may be considered appropriate to vary the Sub-Clause. EXAMPLE Delete paragraph (c) and renumber paragraph (d) as (c). Where the terms of the Sub-Clause, when read in conjunction with Sub-Clause 69.3, are in conflict with the law of the country the Sub-Clause may require to be varied. EXAMPLE Delete "or” at the end of paragraph (c) and delete paragraph (d). Changes in Cost and Legislation Clause 70 Three alternative methods of dealing with price adjustment are given below. The first alternative is suitable where a contract is of short duration and no price adjustment is to be made: Sub-Clause 70.1-Increase or Decrease in Cost EXAMPLE Delete the text of the Sub-Clause and substitute Subject to Sub-Clause 70.21 the Contract Price shall not be subject to any adjustment in respect of rise or fall in the cost of labour, materials or any other matters affecting the cost of execution of the Contract. Sub-Clause 70.2-Subsequent Legislation EXAMPLE Delete the words ", other than under Sub-Clause 70.1, ” The second alternative is suitable where price adjustment is to be made by establishing the difference in cost between the basic price and the current price of local labour and specified materials: 20 Sub-Clause 70.1 - Increase or Decrease in Cost EXAMPLE Delete the text of the Sub-Clause and substitute Adjustments to the Contract Price shall be made in respect of rise or fall in the cost of local labour and specified materials as set out in this Sub-Clause. (a) Local Workmen (i) For the purpose of this Sub-Clause: "Local Workmen" means skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workmen of all trades engaged by the Contractor on the Site for the purpose of or in connection with the Contract or engaged full time by the Contractor off the Site for the purpose of or in connection with the Contract (by way of illustration but not limitation: workmen engaged full time in any office, store, (workshop or quarry); “Basic Rate” means the applicable basic minimum wage rate prevailing on the date 28 days prior to the latest date for submission of tenders by reason of any National or State Statute, Ordinance, Decree or other Law or any regulations or bye-law of any local or other duly constituted authority, or in order to conform with practice amongst good employers generally in the area where the Works are to be carried out; and "Current Rate" means the applicable basic minimum wage rate for Local Workmen prevailing on any date subsequent to the date 28 days prior to the latest date set for submission of tenders by reason of any National or State Statute, Ordinance, Decree or other Law or any regulation or bye-law of any local or other duly constituted authority, or in order to conform with practice amongst good employers generally in the area where the works are to be carried out. (ii) The adjustment to the Contract Price under the terms of this Sub-Clause Rates for Local workmen by: (a) the number of all hours actually worked, and (b) in respect of those hours worked at overtime rates, by the product of the number of said hours and the percentage addition required by the law to be paid by the Contractor for overtime. Such adjustment may be either an addition to or a deduction from the Contract Price. (iii) No other adjustment of the Contract Price on account of fluctuation in the remuneration of Local Workmen shall be made. (b) Specified Materials (i) For the purpose of this Sub-Clause: "Specified Materials" means the materials stated in Appendix (insert reference) to Tender required on the Site for the execution and completion of the Works; "Basic Prices” means the current prices for the specified materials prevailing on the date 28 days prior to the latest date for submission of tenders; and "Current Prices" means the current prices for the specified materials prevailing at any date subsequent to the date 28 days prior to the latest date for submission of tenders. (ii) The adjustment to the Contract Price under the terms of this Sub-Clause shall be calculated by applying the difference between the Basic and Current Prices to the quantity of the appropriate Specified Material which is delivered to the Site during the period for which the particular Current Price is effective. Such adjustment may be either an addition to or a deduction from the Contract Price. 21 (iii) The Contractor shall use due diligence to ensure that excessive wastage of the Specified Materials shall not occur. Any Specified Materials removed from the Site shall be clearly identified in the records required under paragraph (d) of this Sub-Clause. (iv) The provisions of this Sub-Clause shall apply to fuels used in Contractor’s Equipment engaged on the Site for the purposes of executing the Works, including vehicles owned by the Contractor (or hired by him under long term arrangements under which the Contractor is obligated to supply fuel) engaged in transporting any staff, labour, Contractor's Equipment, Temporary Works, Plant or materials to and from the Site. Such fuels shall be clearly identified in the records required under paragraph (d) of this Sub-Clause. The provisions of this Sub-Clause shall not apply to any fuels sold or supplied to any employee of the Contractor or to any person for use in any motor vehicle not being used for the purposes of the Contract. (v) The Contractor shall at all times have regard to suitable markets and shall, whenever buying materials a variation in the cost of which would give rise to an adjustment of the Contract Price under this Sub-Clause, be diligent to buy or procure the same at the most economical prices as are consistent with the due performance by the Contractor of his obligations under the Contract. If at any time there shall have been any lack of diligence, default or negligence on the part of the Contractor, whether in observing the above requirements or otherwise, then, for the purposes of adjusting the Contract Price pursuant hereto, no account shall be taken of any increase in cost which may be attributable to such lack of diligence, default or negligence and the amount by which any cost would have been decreased but for such lack of diligence, default or negligence shall be deducted from the Contract Price. (vi) No other adjustment to the Contract Price on account off fluctuation in the cost of materials shall be made. (c) Overheads and Profits Excluded In determining the amount of any adjustment to the Contract Price pursuant to this Sub-Clause no account shall be taken of any overheads or profits. (d) Notices and Records The Contractor shall forthwith, upon the happening of any event which may or may be likely to give rise to adjustment of the Contract Price pursuant to this Sub-Clause, give notice thereof to the Engineer and the Contractor shall keep such books, accounts and other documents and records as are necessary to enable adjustment under this Sub-Clause to be made and shall, at the request of the Engineer, furnish any invoices, accounts, documents or records so kept and such other information as the Engineer may require. (e) Adjustment after Date of Completion Adjustment to the Contract Price, after the due date for completion of the whole of the Works pursuant to Clause 43, or after the date of completion of the whole of the Works certified pursuant to Clause 48, shall be made in accordance with Current Rates or Current Prices, as applicable, ruling at the due date for completion or the date stated in the Taking-Over Certificate, whichever is the earlier. (f) Determination of Adjustment to Contract Price The amount of any adjustment to the Contract Price pursuant to this Sub-Clause shall be determined by the Engineer in accordance with the foregoing rules. 22 EXAMPLE APPENDIX TO TENDER for use in conjunction with the second alternative. SPECIFIED MATERIALS MATERIAL UNIT PRICE AND TRANSPORT LOCATION TO SITE PRICE DELIVERED TO SITE REMARKS Bitumen Diesel Petrol Lubricants Cement Reinforcing Steel Explosives NOTES: 1.The Contractor shall provide copies of quotations to substantiate all prices included in the above table. 2. All subsequent price substantiation shall be from the same source as original unless otherwise agreed by the Engineer. 3. The Contractor shall submit full explanation and provide substantiating documentation for the mode of transport to Site he proposes. Only the proposed documented mode of transport shall qualify or price adjustment. (Note: Materials stated in the Appendix to Tender should be those of which substantial quantities are involved.) The third alternative is suitable where price adjustment is to be made through the application of indices in a formula: Sub-Clause 70.1 - Increase or Decrease in Cost EXAMPLE Delete the text of the Sub-Clause and substitute (a) Adjustments to the Contract Price in respect of rise and fall in the cost of labour and materials and other matters affecting the cost of execution of the Works shall be calculated for each monthly statement pursuant to Sub-Clause 60.1, the Statement at Completion pursuant to Sub-Clause 60.5 and the Final Statement pursuant to Sub-Clause 60.6 in accordance with the provisions of this Sub-Clause if there shall be any changes in the following Index figures compiled by (insert details of source of indices) and published by (insert details of publication): (i) the Index of the cost of Labour in (insert name of country), (ii) the Index of the cost of (insert other factor, as relevant), or (iii) the Index of the cost of (insert other factor, as relevant). (b) For the purpose of this Sub-Clause: (i) "Base Index Figure" shall mean the index figure applicable on the date 28 days prior to the latest date for submission of tenders, and (ii) "Current Index Figure” shall mean the index figure applicable on the last day of the period to which the particular statement relates. Provided that in respect of any work the value of which is included in any such monthly statement (or Statement at Completion or Final Statement) and which was executed after the due date (or extended date) for completion of the whole of the Works, pursuant to Clause 43, the Current Index Figure shall be the index figure applicable on the aforesaid due date (or extended date) for completion of the whole of the Works. 23 (iii) "Effective Value” shall be the difference between: (a) The amount which is due to the Contractor under the provisions of Sub-Clauses 60.2, 60.5 or 60.8 (before deducting retention and excluding repayment of the advance payment) less any amounts for: work executed under nominated Subcontracts materials and Plant on the Site, as referred to in Sub-Clause 60.1 (c) dayworks, variations or any other items based on actual cost or current prices, and bonuses (if any) adjustments under Clause 70, and (b) The amount calculated in accordance with (b) (iii) (a) of this Sub-Clause and included in the last preceding statement. (c) The adjustment to the Contract Price shall be calculated by multiplying the Effective Value by a Price Fluctuation Factor which shall be the net sum of the products obtained by multiplying each of the proportions given in paragraph (d) of this Sub-Clause by the following fraction: Current Index Figure - Base Index Figure Base Index Figure calculated using the relevant index figures. (d) For the purpose of calculating the Price Fluctuation Factor, the proportions referred to in paragraph (c) of this Sub-Clause shall (irrespective of the actual constituents of the work) be as follows: 0. in respect of labour (and supervision) costs subject to adjustment by reference to the Index referred to in (a) (i) of this Sub-Clause; 0. in respect of by reference to the Index referred to in (a) (ii) of this Sub-Clause; 0. in respect of by reference to the Index referred to in (a) (iii) of this Sub-Clause; 0. in respect of all other costs which shall not be subject to any adjustment; 1.00 Total (e) Where the value of an Index is not known at the time of calculation, the latest available value shall be used and any adjustment necessary shall be made in subsequent monthly statements. (Note: The number of indices included under (a) of this Sub-Clause may be varied, if it is determined that a different number of factors should be separately identified, and in such case (d) of this Sub-Clause must be altered to be consistent.) Currency Proportions Clause 72 Sub-Clause 72.2 - Currency Proportions Where it is decided that the rate or rates of exchange shall be established from a source other than the Central Bank of the country, the Sub-Clause may be varied. EXAMPLE Delete the words from "prevailing... ” to the end of the sentence and substitute “stated in the Appendix to Tender”. 24 Clause 73 onwards Where circumstances require, additional Clauses may be added. EXAMPLE CLAUSES (to be numbered, starting with Clause 73, as appropriate). Additional Clauses Where the law applicable to the Contract does not cover bribery, the following example Clause may be added. Bribes .1 If the Contractor or any of his Subcontractors, agents or servants offers to give or agrees to offer or give to any person, any bribe, gift, gratuity or commission as an inducement or reward for doing or forbearing to do any action in relation to the Contract or any other contract with the Employer or for showing or forbearing to show favour or disfavour to any person in relation to the Contract or any other contract with the Employer, then the Employer may enter upon the Site and the Works and terminate the employment of the Contractor and the provisions of Clause 63 hereof shall apply as if such entry and termination had been made pursuant to that Clause. Where circumstances require that particular confidentiality is observed, the following example Clause may be added. Details to be Confidential .1 The Contractor shall treat the details of the Contract as private and confidential, save in so far as may be necessary for the purposes thereof, and shall not publish or disclose the same or any particulars thereof in any trade or technical paper or elsewhere without the previous consent in writing of the Employer or the Engineer.
