1.11 CHARGEABLE FEES TO THE CONTRACTOR


The Consulting Engineer will reserve the right to seek fees from the Contractor, via the
Superintendent, to carry out additional attendance and works outside of, but not limited to, those
outlined below. Such Consulting Engineers fees will be submitted via the Superintendent, and
must be accepted by the Contractor prior to the requested attendance or works being
conducted.
1.11.1 During Construction
It is expected that the Contractor and all Sub-Contractors will have an appropriate level of
engineering and management capability, and a functional Quality Assurance System in place to
successfully complete the works.
The following activities will be carried out during the construction phase of the project as part of
the Consulting Engineers normal responsibilities:
Review and comment on the Contractors Quality Plan;
Review of shop drawings, noting that any such review is only to ensure compliance with
the intent of this Specification and associated Drawings, and does not relieve the
Contractor from the responsibility to correctly complete the works;
Review samples submitted to ensure compliance with the intent of this Specification and
associated Drawings;
Conceptually review if alternatives proposed are appropriate. Should the Consulting
Engineer be required by the Principal to review the design or calculation data of the
proposed alternative, or re-calculate data; then the Consulting Engineer reserves the right
to seek fees from the Contractor, via the Superintendent, to carry out these works.
Carry out periodic walk-through inspection of the works to ensure that the works are
being carried out in compliance with:
-

All relevant regulations;

The intent of this Specification and associated Drawings;

The Contractors Quality Plan.

Non-compliances resulting from inspections will be provided to the Superintendent in a written


report and shall be remedied by the Contractor;
Periodic walk-through inspections will be scheduled to coincide with site Project Client
Group (PCG) meetings;
Respond in a timely manner to Requests for Information (RFI) correspondences via an
Engineers Advice. It is expected that the Contractor has exhausted all reasonable efforts
to obtain the information before submitting an RFI;
Review and comment on the justification and quantum of variation claims in terms of both
time and cost;
Assess monthly progress claims;
Carry out random reviews of commissioning activities and test records. The Consulting
Engineer will advise the Contractor in a timely manner of those commissioning activities
to be witnessed;
Review and comment on Operating and Maintenance Manuals and As-Installed
documentation;

Review and comment on status of the works with respect to achieving Practical
Completion;
Review the works prior to the expiration of the Defects Liability Period. The Consulting
Engineer shall not be responsible for reviewing maintenance of the works during the
Defects Liability Period, including Essential Services Maintenance.
1.11.2 At Practical Completion
Requirements for the comprehensive defects lists are detailed further in this Specification, under
the heading Comprehensive Defects List. Refer to this Specifications index.
Once the Consulting Engineer is satisfied that the extent and scope of works still to be rectified
on the final comprehensive defects list is reasonably complete, a final inspection walk-through
will be conducted by the Consulting Engineer with the attendance of the relevant Trade SubContractors and Contractor.
If the final defect list submitted is found not to reflect the extent and scope of works to be
rectified on-site, and a recommendation of practical completion is not appropriate, the
Consulting Engineer will reserve the right to charge for subsequent attendances.
1.11.3 Operation and Maintenance Manuals and As-Installed Drawings
Requirements for the Operating and Maintenance Manuals and As-Installed Drawings are
detailed further in this Specification.
Should the Operating and Maintenance Manuals and As-Installed Drawings demonstrate major
deficiencies in meeting the requirements, formats, details and information set out in this
Specification, the Consulting Engineer will provide a general note to refer to the Specification.
No detailed comments will be provided by the Consulting Engineer.
Should the Operating and Maintenance Manuals and As-Installed Drawings demonstrate minor
deficiencies in meeting the requirements, formats, details and information set out in this
Specification, the Consulting Engineer will provide comments regarding specific areas to be
improved upon.
The Consulting Engineer will reserve the right to charge for any subsequent reviews, in addition
to the two (2) reviews mentioned above.
