    DEFINITION OF TERMS

    Program of Works (POW)

    _ - is the total estimated cost of the project which covers the Civil Works Cost,
    Engineering Supervision and Administrative Overhead, Road Right-of-Way Acquisition Cost,
    Construction Contingency, etc. The POW shall include information about the project location
    and limits, quantity and unit cost for each item of work, construction duration, funding
    source, equipment requirements, etc.

    Approved Budget for the Contract (ABC)

    - is the total estimated agency estimate (direct cost, indirect cost and tax) for civil
    works contract of infrastructure projects, wherein it is the ceiling of award of contract for
    government locally-funded projects and reference for comparison of bid costs of contractors
    for both locally-funded and foreign-assisted projects.

    Oetailed Unit Price Analysis (OUPA)

    - is the determination of reasonable unit cost of each item of work which reflects the
    breakdown showing the quantities of work items, unit prices of materials, equipment rental
    rates, labor rates and DPWH-prescribed indirect costs including taxes.

    Standard Labor Rates


    .J
    - are matrices prepared and issued by Department of Public Works and Highways
    (DPWH) periodically showing the required compensation for manpower workforce of
    different categories, which comprises the minimum wage as approved by the NWPC, DOLE
    plus the monetary benefits.

    ACEL Guidebook 2014

    - is a guidebook where rental rates of commonly used equipment for infrastructure


    projects are based. It is published by Association of Carriers and Equipment Lessors, (ACEL)
    Inc..

    Construction Materials Price Oata (CMPO)

    - is a compilation of unit prices of construction materials updated quarterly per


    District Engineering Office to be used as reference in the pricing of materials component of
    the pay items of work in the preparation of DUPA, ABC & POW, including new items .of work
    . involved in a va.

    iii
    DPWH Standard Specifications for Public Works and Highways

    - commonly called as "Blue Book", is a compilation of detailed descriptions of work


    items in constructing public works and highways projects such as roads, bridges, buildings,
    etc. In other words, a compilation of specifications of standard works acceptable to the
    DPWH.

    - is composed of specifications containing detailed description of the workmanship,


    material requirements, technical dimensions, materials proportion, datum lines and grades
    and other established references to follow or adhere to, e.g. AASHTO,ASTM, etc.; basis of
    measurement, payment and unit of measure/measurement; and basis of acceptance and
    special details that would give the user a clear view of the work to be done.

    Low Rise Building

    "One-storey up to 5-storeys in height, i.e. from 3.00 m up to a maximum of
