Upon the issue of Certificate of Substantial completion and provisional acceptance of the project,
partial amount of the retention money stated in the Works Contract will be certified by the
Consultant for payment to the Contractor
Upon issuance of Taking-Over Certificate and expiration of the Defects Liability Period, the
remaining amount of Retention Money will be certified by the Consultant for Payment to the
Contractor.
As part of the Contract Administration, the Consultant will undertake the following contractual
duties.
The Consultant will establish effective coordination with the local authorities and the community in
relation to implementing the biological, physical and social measures including the prevention and
control of HIV/AIDS in the project workplaces. Moreover, rock blasting near settlement areas will be
properly coordinated with the relevant officers of the Government Authorities to minimize levels of
noise pollution and community interference.
The Consultant will maintain close liaison with throughout the provision of the services as adequate
liaison with the Employer greatly facilitates implementation of the project works. All reports, site
meetings, site visits and inspection of the works progress through communication with the Client
and the Contractor will be important features of the liaison with.
The Resident Engineer will play a major role in the liaison with. Accordingly, he will liaise with the
Client, through the counterpart, in matters related to the following project activities:
1. Making arrangement for monthly progress meetings on site,
2. Discussions on problems encountered, variations, and claims,
3. Discussions on work progress against the approved program and construction issues, etc
It is also of vital use to ensure close liaison with the Regional Administrators to facilitate any matters
requiring interaction with the local society such as assessment and settlement of right-of-way
problems in respect of crops and buildings. Moreover, the Consultant will assist the Contractor to
maintain close co-ordination with all relevant local authorities so that unnecessary small scale
irrigation project to services and properties is avoided which will adversely affect the project
progress.
The Consultant will continuously monitor the Contractor’s progress against the approved program
and the associated method of working in all activities.
As a contractual obligation, the Contractor is expected to carry out the works as per his program
without any significant slippage. To ensure this, the progress of works will be reviewed on a
monthly basis and any shortfall observed will be pointed out to the Contractor with directives to
take corrective measures.
As an efficient way of following up the progress, the Consultant will produce a resource analysis
against production needs, required for the timely completion of the project. Critical items, which
could affect the progress of works, will be identified from the approved program and will be closely
monitored throughout the Contract period with appraisals of changes required for the positive
advance of the progress.
Based on the observations, the Contractor will be advised when additional resources, revised
methods of working or reprogramming of the Works are deemed to be required.
One of the means for controlling the progress of the works will be conducting of progress meetings.
Accordingly, weekly and monthly meetings will be held at the project site office. The meeting will
focus on the accomplishment of the planned work and the corresponding delay, if any, with the
respective resource allocation. Problems encountered and proposed solutions will be highlighted to
resolve the problem of delay. These meetings will be minted and signed for a record.
An agenda will be prepared listing the matters to be raised in the Progress Meetings, which will
normally include the following:
Program and progress,
Supply of materials,
Shortage and breakdown of plants and machinery,
Availability of labor,
Quality control,
Weather conditions and effect on the progress of works,
Actions to recover delays,
Variations, and
Claims and recording of facts
Meetings and correspondences are important contractual means to create mutual understanding
between the Contractor and Consultant’s site staff for the positive advance of the project works. At
the initial stages of the construction, a Line of Communication will be formed that will base an
assessment of the task assignment of each of the Contractor and Consultant’s key staffs. Site
meeting will be made to undertake this task prior to commencement of construction of the
permanent works, which will ultimately form an efficient Line of Communication.
In addition to the Line of Communication, the Contractor through discussion with the Consultant will
produce Formats for the various activities of the project work. This will include formats and
presentations for various laboratory tests, data collection form for surveying works, Request for
Approval forms, formats for measurement of finished works, etc.
Variation Orders are issued where extra works significantly affect the contract Sum. These may
involve omissions or additions to the Contract Sum. Variation Orders may be approved by the
Project Manager within his authority as provided in the Conditions of Contract. However, most
Variation Orders must be approved by the Client and accepted by the Contractor.
Following the approval of the amendments, the Consultant will prepare and issue Instructions,
Variation Orders to the Contractor (including alterations, additions or omissions from the signed
contract) complete with the associated measurements, and payment instructions will be advised of
such instructions and variation orders together with the associated implications.
The Consultant will keep records of all change (variations including Day work) and orders issued with
respect to the Works.
Variation orders should include issues such as type of work to be accomplished including the limit of
the work; authority under which the instruction has been given; method of measurement; agreed
unit rate and method of payment.
An attempt will be made to complete the works specified within the ceiling amount of the contract.
The nature of construction, some changes in the plans and specifications may be necessary during
the course of construction to suit field conditions, which subsequently alter the contract amount.
In practice, the Bill of Quantities and the bid amount listed in the bid schedule do not govern the
final project cost.
The Consultant will devise a method for optimization of cost by means of determining the exact
volume of work, including amendments, changes and modifications, and will come up with the final
estimated cost during the work progress. Variation orders, that include alterations, additions and
omissions will be valued at the rates and prices fixed on the contract or if not suitable prices will be
fixed. This together with the estimated quantity will enable estimates of the final construction cost
to be updated on a monthly basis and help in identifying possible cost over runs or under runs.
In case of increase/decrease of the estimated initial project cost due to Variation Orders approved by
the consultant/client, the reason for the same will be indicated.
Payments to the Contractor will be made only for the actual quantities of work items performed in
accordance with the plans and specification.

3 CONSULTANT CONTRACTUAL DUTIES (Cont…)
3.6 Measurement and Payment
Measurement and valuation is clearly a prerequisite to certification and payment of works. Most
contracts are of the bill of quantities type (ad measurement contracts) and their measurement and
valuation are governed by the conditions of contract.
A record of these measurements and derived quantities must be kept by both the contractor and
the Supervising Consultant on site to form a basis for preparation of the Interim Payment
Certificates.
Project Records are important instruments to show the detailed Works being undertaken for the
project and are clear evidences for justifying or rejecting potential claims that could arise in the
course of the construction.
Site Diary and Daily Log Sheets
Documentation of Design Drawings, Reports, As-built Drawings and Correspondence
Contractual correspondences and data
Contractor’s equipment
Work stoppages and delays
Daily and Weekly Activities
Accidents on site
Official visitors on site
Daily weather records
Activities
Media Reports
The Consultant recognizes the importance of handling claims raised by the Contractor, which could
become a major issue adversely affecting the progress of works. Accordingly, the Consultant’s
supervisory staff will be aware of contractual conditions that could give rise to potential claims.

3 CONSULTANT CONTRACTUAL DUTIES (Cont…)
3.9 Preparation and Submission of Claims
It is most important to comply with the terms of the Contract, as often there are time requirements
within which the Contractor is required to submit the details of his “claim” with supporting
documentation. The “Claim” cannot be entertained if the time limitations are not observed. The
“claim” must be accompanied by complete supporting information and relevant documentation.
Such information will include the contractual basis for the claim, details of the “claim” itself, and
complete details of costs including the rates.
In a contractual relationship, disputes can arise as a result of disagreement about issues related to
quality, quantity, payment or program of the work. Parties are advised to settle disputes politely.
If a claim cannot be settled by negotiations, the parties can agree to place their respective cases
before a conciliator as per the Contract provision. In the event of adjudication or arbitration, the
Consultant will provide the necessary personnel and expertise to advise and assist the employer in
any such process and will prepare any further analysis of the Contractor’s claims submissions as may
be necessary to assist the employer in the presentation of his case. The assistance will be continued
until such time that the Client is through with the case.
