Submission.
The use of proposed alternatives shall not compromise the intent or performance of the original
design.
All costs associated with the use of proposed alternatives are deemed to be included in the
Tender Submission, whether this is stated explicitly or not by the Tenderer.
Proposals for the submission of alternatives after the acceptance of tenders will only be
considered where:
The original offer is not available, or delivery cannot meet the required project timetable,
or
The alternative offers a cost saving to the Project.
The Superintendent reserves the right to deduct the cost of considering post tender alternatives
from the Contract Sum.
The Contractor is to assume all responsibility for the design, installation, and impact on all other
systems as a result of the proposed alternative.
1.8
TRADE AND BRAND NAMES

Trade and brand names are used in this Specification as an aid in setting the level of quality
required. This does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to ensure that the product
offered will perform to the requirements of this Specification.
1.9
REGULATIONS AND FEES

Obtain all necessary permits, consents, approvals and certificates from all authorities having
jurisdiction over any part of the work of this contract. Pay all royalties and costs relating to
patent rights, trade marks or other protected rights. Comply with all regulations and by-laws of
the authorities and fully indemnify the Principal against any claims arising there from.

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;
UMOW LAI
(BDUB.0102 SPE001 A) 27-05-16

Electrical Services
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.

Construction Guidelines
CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES
HEALTH AND SAFETY
All works shall be undertaken in accordance with the Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) Act
and all applicable Occupational Health & Safety Regulations, Standards and Guidelines.
Contact the relevant OH&S Authority if unsure about which regulations, standards and
guidelines apply.
Prior to commencement of any works, identify any hazards or work sequences that may be a
risk to the health and safety of site personnel or the public. Undertake a Job Safety Analysis
(JSA) or similar formal risk assessment procedure to determine whether the risks may be
eliminated, substituted, isolated or protective equipment is required, and formally record the
results. JSAs shall form part of a comprehensive OH&S Plan for the project. Ensure all
relevant personnel are fully aware of the OH&S Plan, and implement a system of monitoring for
compliance.
2.2
PROTECTION OF PERSONS
Where there is a risk of injury to building occupants or the public, the working area must be
defined, a barrier erected and notices displayed to prohibit access by people other than those
authorised by the Contractor.
2.3
PROTECTION OF PROPERTY
Protect all works from damage on the project site and adjoining areas.
Make good any damage to adjoining surfaces, finishes, buildings, grounds, roads, footpaths,
crossovers, street channels, street kerbs or any other adjoining property that arises out of, or
can be attributable to the, execution of the Works.
