       16.4     If the outer envelope is not sealed and marked as above, the Employer will assume no

18. Late Bids

        19.5     Bidders may only offer discounts to, or otherwise modify the prices of their bids by
                 submitting Bid modifications in accordance with this clause, or included in the original

                 with Clause 19 shall be rejected.

20. Bid Opening

        15.1     The Employer will open the bids, including modifications in the presence of bidders
                 representatives who choose to attend at the time and in the place specified in the Bid

                 will be announced by the Employer at the opening.

        15.2     Bids or modifications that are not opened and read out at bid opening shall not be
                 considered further for evaluation, irrespective of the circumstances. In particular, any

                 and recommendations for the award of a contract shall not be disclosed until the award to
                 the successful Bidder has been announced. Any effort by a Bidder to influence the

22. Clarification of Bids

        22.1     To assist in the examination, evaluation, and comparison of bids, the Employer may, at
                 the Employer’s discretion, ask any Bidder for clarification of the Bidder’s Bid. The

                 facsimile, but no change in the price or substance of the Bid shall be sought, offered, or
                 permitted except as required to confirm the correction of arithmetic errors discovered by
                 the Employer in the evaluation of the bids in accordance with Clause 24.

23. Examination of Bids and Determination of Responsiveness

        23.1     Prior to the detailed evaluation of bids, the Employer will determine whether each bid
                 is substantially responsive to the requirements of the bidding documents. A
                 substantially responsive Bid is one, which conforms to all the terms, conditions and
                 specifications of the bidding documents, without material deviation or reservation. A
                 material deviation or reservation is one:

                 (a)     which affects in any substantial way the scope, quality, or performance of the
                         Works; or

                 (b)     which limits in any substantial way, inconsistent with the documents, the
                         Employer’s rights or the Bidder’s obligations under the Contract; or
12                                                                        Section I. Instructions to bidders
             (c)    whose rectification would affect unfairly the competitive position of other
                    bidders presenting substantially responsive bids?

             23.2   If a Bid is not substantially responsive, it will be rejected by the Employer, and
                    may not subsequently be made responsive by correction or withdrawal of the
                    nonconforming deviation or reservation.

24. Correction of Errors

      24.1   Bids determined to be substantially responsive will be checked by the Employer for any
             arithmetic errors. Errors will be corrected by the Employer as follows:

             (a)    where there is a discrepancy between the amounts in figures and in words, the
                    amount in words will govern;

             (b)    where there is a discrepancy between the unit rate and the line item total resulting
                    from multiplying the unit rate by the quantity, the unit rate as quoted will govern;
                    and

             (c)    if the Bidder refuses to accept the correction his Bid will be rejected, and the Bid
                    Security will be forfeited in accordance with Clause 14.

25. Currency for Bid Evaluation

      25.1   Bids will be evaluated as quoted in the currency of the Employer’s country as defined in
             the Contract Data in accordance with Sub-Clause 12.1, unless a Bidder has used different
             exchange rates than those prescribed in Sub-Clause 12.2, in which case the Bid will be
             first converted into the amounts payable in different currencies using the rates quoted in
             the Bid and then reconverted to the Employer’s currency using the exchange rates
             prescribed in Sub-Clause 12.2.

26. Evaluation and Comparison of Bids

      26.1   The Employer will evaluate and compare only the bids determined to be substantially
             responsive in accordance with Clause 24.

      26.2   In evaluating the bids, the Employer will determine for each Bid the evaluated Bid price
             by adjusting the Bid price as follows:

             (a)    making any correction for errors pursuant to Clause 24;

             (b)    excluding provisional sums and the provision, if any, for contingencies in the Bill
                    of Quantities, but including Daywork, where priced competitively; and

             (c)    making appropriate adjustments to reflect discounts or other price modifications
                    offered in accordance with Sub-Clause 19.5.

      26.3   The Employer may waive any minor informality or non-conformity, which does not
             constitute a material deviation, provided such waiver does not prejudice or affect the
             relative standing of any Bidder. Variations, deviations, and alternative offers and other
             factors, which are in excess of the requirements of the bidding documents or otherwise
             result in unsolicited benefits for the Employer will not be taken into account in Bid
             evaluation.
Section I. Instructions to bidders                                                                         13

27. Award of Contract

        27.1     Subject to Clause 28, the Employer will award the Contract to the Bidder whose Bid has
                 been determined to be substantially responsive to the bidding documents and who has
                 offered the lowest evaluated Bid price, provided that such Bidder has been qualified in
                 accordance with the provisions of Clause 3.

28. Employers Right to Accept any Bid to Reject any or all Bids

        28.1     Notwithstanding Clause 27, the Employer reserves the right to accept or reject any Bid,
                 and to cancel the bidding process and reject all bids, at any time prior to the award of
                 Contract, without thereby incurring any liability to the affected Bidder or bidders or any
                 obligation to inform the affected Bidder or bidders of the grounds for the Employer’s
                 action.

29. Notification of Award and Signing of Agreement

        29.1     The Bidder whose Bid has been accepted will be notified of the award by the Employer
                 prior to expiration of the Bid validity period by registered letter. This letter (hereinafter
                 and in the Conditions of Contract called the "Letter of Acceptance") will state the sum that
                 the Employer will pay the Contractor in consideration of the execution, completion, and
                 maintenance of the Works by the Contractor as prescribed by the Contract (hereinafter and
                 in the Contract called the "Contract Price").

        29.2     The notification of award will constitute the formation of the Contract subject to the
                 Bidder signing the Agreement in accordance with Sub-Clause 29.3.

        29.3     The Employer will send the successful Bidder the Agreement form provided in the
                 bidding documents incorporating all agreements between the Employer and the successful
                 Bidder. It will be sent to the successful bidder within 15 days following the notification of
                 award. Within 15 days of receipt, the successful Bidder will sign the Agreement and
                 deliver it to the Employer.

        29.4     Upon the receipt of the signed Agreement from the Bidder, the Employer will, within one
                 week, notify the other bidders that their bids have been unsuccessful.

30. Advance Payment

        30.1     The Employer will provide an Advance Payment as stipulated in the Conditions of
                 Contract, subject to a maximum amount, as stated in the Bid Data Sheet. The Advance
                 Payment request shall be accompanied by an Advance Payment Security (Guarantee)
                 in the form provided in Section III. For the purpose of receiving the Advance Payment,
                 the Bidder shall make and estimate of, and include in its Bid, the expenses that will be
                 incurred in order to commence work. These expenses will relate to the purchase of
                 equipment, machinery, materials, and on the engagement of labour during the first
                 month beginning with the date of the Employer’s “Notice to Proceed” as specified in
                 the Contract Data.

31. Fraud and Corruption

        31.1     It is the Bank’s policy to require Borrowers (including beneficiaries of Bank loans and
                 grants), as well as bidders/ suppliers/ contractors/ concessionaires under Bank-financed
14                                                                       Section I. Instructions to bidders
            projects, programmes and studies, to observe the highest standards of ethics during the
            procurement and the execution of contracts under such projects, programmes and
            studies. In pursuance of this policy, the Bank requires that Borrowers shall include in
            bidding documents, provisions against corrupt practices.

     31.2   The Bank defines, for the purposes of these provisions, the terms set forth below as
            follows:

            (a)    “corrupt practice” means the offering, giving receiving or soliciting of any thing
                   of value to influence the action of a public official in the procurement process
                   or in contract execution, and includes, inter alia, bribery and extortion or
                   coercion which involve threats of injury to person, property or reputation; and

            (b)    “fraudulent practice” means a misrepresentation of facts in order to influence a
                   procurement process or the execution of a contract to the detriment of the
                   Borrower, and includes collusive practices among bidders or between bidders
                   and Borrower (prior to or after bid submission) designed to establish bid prices
                   at artificial, non-competitive levels.

     31.3   The Bank will, following its own investigation and determination in accordance with its
            procedures:

            (a)    reject a proposal for award if it determines that the bidder recommended for
                   award has engaged in corrupt or fraudulent practices in competing for the
                   contract in question;

            (b)    cancel the portion of the loan or grant allocated to a contract for goods or works
                   if it at any time determines that corrupt or fraudulent practices were engaged in
                   by representatives of the Borrower or of a beneficiary of the Loan or Grant
                   during the procurement or the execution of that contract; and

            (c)    declare a firm ineligible, either indefinitely or for a stated period of time, to be
                   awarded a Bank-financed contract if it at any time determines the firm has
                   engaged in corrupt or fraudulent practices in competing for, or in executing, a
                   Bank-financed contract. A firm declared ineligible by the Bank in accordance
                   with this sub-paragraph shall be ineligible to be awarded a Bank-financed
                   contract during the period of time determined by the Bank.

     31.4   The Bank reserves the right, where a firm has been found by a national or international
            entity to have engaged in corrupt or fraudulent practice, to declare that such a firm is
            ineligible, for a stated period of time, to be awarded a Bank-financed contract.

     31.5   The Bank will have the right to require that, in contracts financed by the Bank, a
            provision be included requiring suppliers and contractors to permit the Bank to inspect
            their accounts and records relating to the performance of the contract and to have them
            audited by auditors appointed by the Bank.

elongated or laminated pieces. It shall be graded within the limits of Table 1 of B.S.
882 for its respective nominal size.

If in the opinion of the the Project Manager the aggregate meets the above
requirements, but is dirty or adulterated in any manner it shall be screened and/or
washed with clean water if he so directs at the Contractor’s expense.

Aggregates shall be delivered to the site in their prescribed sizes or grading and shall
be stockpiled on paved areas or boarded platforms in separate units to avoid
intermixing.

Fine aggregate

Fine aggregate shall be sand free from impurities and complying with British Standard
No. 882. Grading zone 2 of Table 2.

      Coarse aggregate

     Coarse aggregate shall be hard crushed rock free from impurities and complying with
     British Standard No. 882 "graded aggregate" 20 mm to 5 mm nominal size as Table 1.

          Water
     Water for concrete shall be free from impurities, complying with BS 3148

           Hardcore

     Hardcore for filling under floors shall be good, hard stone ballast or quarry waste, to
     the approval of the the Project Manager, broken to pass through not greater than a 150
     mm ring or to be 75% of the finished thickness of the layers being compacted,
     whichever is the lesser. Hardcore shall be free from all weeds, roots, vegetable soil,
     clay, black cotton soil or other unstable materials.

     It shall be graded with smaller stones and fine materials to give a dense compact mass
     after consolidation. Sufficient fine material shall be added to each layer to give
     gradation of material as necessary to obtain a solid compact mass after rolling.
     Hardcore filling is to be laid in layers each of a consolidated thickness not exceeding
     250 mm. Each layer shall be compacted by at least 8 passes of a 10-tonne smooth-
     wheeled roller or a 2-tonne vibrating roller until all movement ceases. Sufficient
     water is to be added to obtain maximum compaction to the the Project Manager’s
     approval. To each layer a 25 mm thick layer of sand complying with the specification
     of fine aggregate for concrete shall be spread over the surface and forced into the
     hardcore by the use of a vibrating roller weighing not less than 2 tones. This operation
     should be carried out when the materials are dry and repeated whilst the sand is well
     watered. Should all the sand be absorbed the the Project Manager may require a
     further layer to be applied and the process repeated.

     The top surface of the hardcore shall be leveled or graded to fall as required, and shall
     then be blinded with a layer of similar material broken to 25 mm gauge and finished
     with a 10-tonne smooth-wheeled roller. The surface so obtained shall be to the
     Engineer’s approval.

           Compacted hardcore

     The sub-grade shall be compacted by a smooth-wheeled roller of 8 to 10 tonnes weight
     or the vibrating roller of minimum 1300 Kg., or other approved plant. The number of
     coverage shall be at least 10 and there shall be a 50% overlap of successive coverage.
     If so instructed by the Engineer, water shall be added during compaction to obtain
     optimum water content. Filling shall be compacted as above but in maximum 200 mm
     deep layers.

           Sand

     The sand shall be as described for fine aggregate but that for plastering shall be light in
     colour and well graded to a suitable fineness in accordance with the nature of work in
     order to obtain the finish directed.

Finishes
       General

 The Contractor will be required from an early stage in the contract to prepare samples,
 for the approval of the the Project Manager, of the various concrete finishes specified
 hereafter. Samples are to be prepared using the same materials and the same methods
 of construction, compaction, curing, etc. as the Contractor proposes to use for
 executing the full quantity of the work. A record of the mix, water content, method of
 compaction, any additives used, etc., is to be kept for each sample prepared. When the
 the Project Manager has approved a sample it will be kept on site in an approved
 location. The finishes in construction will be expected to be up to a standard equal to
 the approved sample. Consistency in cement colour, and the colour, grading and
 quality of aggregates must be maintained in all finished concrete work.

       Mortars

 Cement mortar shall consist of one part of Portland cement to three parts sand by
 volume. The cement/lime mortar shall consist of one part of Portland cement, one part
 of lime and six parts of sand by volume.

 The ingredients of mortar shall be measured in proper gauge boxes on a boarded
 platform, the ingredients being thoroughly mixed dry, and again whilst adding water.
 In the case of cement/lime mortar, sand and lime shall be mixed first and then the
 cement added.

 All mortar is to be thoroughly mixed to a uniform consistency with only sufficient
 water to obtain a plastic condition suitable for toweling. No mortar that has
 commenced to set is to be used or re-mixed for use.

       Tamped finish

 Areas so specified shall be finished at the time of casting with a tamped finish to the
 Engineer’s approval produced by an edge board. Board marks are to be made to a true
 pattern and will generally be at right angles to the traffic flow. Haphazard or diagonal
 tamping will not be accepted.

       Fair face

 Fair face surfaces shall be clean, smooth, even, true to form, line and level, and free
 from all board marks, joint marks, honeycombing, pitting, and other blemishes. Forms
 are to be provided with a smooth lining of plywood, steel, or other approved material
 which will achieve the required finish without any general rubbing down. Rubbing
 down will only be permitted to remove any projecting fins at corners or joints.

       Fine face

 Fine face surfaces shall be for Fair face above, but to a higher standard obtained from
 forms provided with an impervious sheet lining of metal or plastics faced plywood in
 large panels arranged in an approved pattern. Rubbing down shall only be permitted
40                                                                       Section V. Contract data

      after an inspection by the Project Manager. The finished surfaces shall be capable of
      receiving a painted finish.

            Chisel-dressed finish

      Chisel-dressed finish is to be carried out on any grade of concrete but not until it is at
      least 30 days old. The surfaces are to be fully chisel-dressed to remove a maximum of
      12 mm (average 9 mm) of the surface by shearing and exposing the aggregate without
      excessive cracking of the surrounding matrix. Arises of columns, beams, etc., are pre-
      formed fair face with timber fillets set in the formwork and care must be taken in
      working up to these to preserve a clean line.

      For vertical surfaces of walls and columns particular care must be taken to remove all
      sharp projections. For beam soffits this requirement is not necessary. All surfaces
      requiring this treatment are to have margins chisel-dressed by hand for a minimum
      width of 75 mm commencing from the fillet edge. Thereafter, mechanical chisel-
      dressing may be used, but the Contractor must ensure that a uniform texture and even
      plane surface is achieved. The use of sharply pointed steel tools for both hand and
      mechanical chisel-dressing is essential. Upon completion the surfaces are to be
      thoroughly wire brushed and washed down.

            Protection of finishes

      Wherever possible, in-situ exposed concrete finishes should be commenced at the
      highest level and worked progressively down the building. Precaution shall be taken
      to avoid staining or discoloration of previously finished concrete faces by leakage of
      grout from newly placed concrete. The Contractor shall, during all stages of
      construction, adequately protect all concrete finishes from Damage by leaking grout,
      knocking, paint stains, falling plaster, etc. In cases of balustrade walls to staircases
      and members where Damage is otherwise likely, concrete finishes shall be protected
      by cladding with timber, celotex, or other approved sheeting. All Sub-contractors
      shall be informed accordingly on the precautions to be taken.

     Blinding
      All blinding concrete to be 1:3:6, or as otherwise instructed by the Project Manager in
      writing.

     Formwork
      The method and system of formwork which the Contractor proposes to use shall be
      approved of by the Project Manager before construction commences. Formwork shall
      be substantially and rigidly constructed of timber or steel or pre-cast concrete or other
      approved material.

      All timber for formwork shall be good, sound, clean, sawn, well-seasoned timber, free
      from warps and loose knots and of scantings sufficiently strong for their purpose.

     Construction of formwork
41


All formwork shall be of sufficient thickness and with joints close enough to prevent undue
       leakage of liquid from the concrete and fixed to proper alignment, level and plumb and
       supported on sufficiently strong bearers, shores, braces, plates e.t.c. properly held
       together by bolts or other fastenings to prevent displacement, vibration or movement by
       the weight of materials, men and plant on same and so wedged and clamped as to permit
       easing and removal of the formwork without jarring the concrete. Where formwork is
       supported on previously constructed portions of the reinforced concrete structural frame,
       the Contractor shall by consultation with the Project Manager ensure that the supporting
       concrete is capable of carrying the load and/or sufficiently propped from lower floors or
       portions of the frame to permit the load to be temporarily carried during construction.

       Soffits shall be erected with an upward camber of 5 mm for each 5 meters of
       horizontal span or as directed by the Project Manager.

       Great care shall be taken to make and maintain all joints in the formwork as tight as
       possible, to prevent the leakage of grout during vibration. All faulty joints shall be
       caulked to the Project Manager’s approval before concreting. The formwork shall be
       sufficiently rigid to ensure that no distortion or bulging occurs under the effects of
       vibration. If at any time the formwork is insufficiently rigid or in any way defective
       the Contractor shall strengthen or improve such formwork as the Project Manager may
       direct.

       The Contractor’s attention is drawn to the various surface textures and applied finishes
       required and the faces of formwork next to the concrete must be of such material and
       construction and be sufficiently true to provide a concrete surface which will in each
       particular case permit the specified surface treatment or applied finish.

       All surfaces which will be in contact with concrete shall be oiled or greased to prevent
       adhesion of mortar. Oil or grease shall be of a non-staining mineral type applied as a
       thin film before the reinforcement is placed. Surplus moisture shall be removed from
       the forms prior to placing of the concrete.

       Temporary openings shall be provided at the base of columns, wall and beam forms
       and at any other points where necessary to facilitate cleaning and inspection
       immediately before the pouring of concrete. Before the concrete is placed the
       shuttering shall be trued-up and any water accumulated therein shall be removed. All
       sawdust, nails, chips and other debris shall be washed out or otherwise removed from
       within the formwork. The reinforcement shall then be inspected for accuracy of
       fixing. Immediately before placing the concrete the formwork shall be well wetted
       and inspection openings shall be closed. The erection, easing, striking and removing
       of all formwork must be done under the personal supervision of a competent foreman,
       and any Damage occurring through faulty formwork or its incorrect removal shall be
       made good by the Contractor at his own expense.

       After removal of formwork, all projections, fins etc., on the concrete surface shall be
       chipped off, and made good to the requirements of the Project Manager. Any voids or
       honeycombing shall be treated as described in “Faulty Concrete”.

       Stripping formwork
42                                                                           Section V. Contract data

        All formwork shall be removed without undue vibration or shock and without Damage
        to the concrete. No formwork shall be removed without the prior consent of the
        Engineer and the minimum periods that shall elapse between the placing of the
        concrete and the striking of the formwork will be as follows:

        Beam sides, wall and columns                                2 days
        Slab Soffits (props left under)                             3 days
        Beam Soffits                                                7 days
        Removal of props (partly subject to 7 days
 concrete cube strength being satisfactory) to:

        Slabs                                                       10 days
        Beams                                                       14 days
        Cantilevered Beams and Slabs                                28 days

        If the Contractor wishes to take advantage of the shorter stripping times permitted for
        beams and slab soffits when props are left in place, he must so design his formwork
        that sufficient props are agreed with the Project Manager can remain in their original
        positions without being moved in any way until the expiry of the minimum time for
        removal of props. Stripping and re-propping will not be permitted.

        The above times may be reduced in certain circumstances, at the discretion of the
        Engineer provided an approved method is adopted at the Contractor’s expense to
        ensure that the required concrete strength is attained before the forms are stripped.

        Solid strips in composite slabs shall be considered as beams. The tops of retaining
        walls shall be adequately supported with stout raking props at intervals required by the
        Engineer. These props are not to be removed until 7 days after casting of the floor
        slab is over.

               Supporting props to wall and beam soffits

 When directed by the Project Manager, supporting props to wall and beam soffits are to be left in
       position until the completion of the whole of the reinforced concrete structure. The props
       are to be to the approval of the Engineer and the Contractor must submit the suggested
       method of propping to the Engineer prior to removal of formwork to the relevant
       surfaces.

       Concrete mixes
        Concrete to be used shall be of the classes specified in "Ministry of Works standard
        Specification" Section 17.

          Class       Nomin     Trial Strength in N/mm2         Where used in this

Concrete mixing and placing
 The concrete shall be mixed only in approved power-driven mixers of a type and
 capacity suitable for the work, and in any event not smaller than 0.04/0.28 cu.m.
 capacity. The mixer shall be equipped with an accurate water measuring device. All
 materials shall be thoroughly mixed dry before water is added and the mixing of each
 batch shall continue for a period of not less than two minutes after the water has been
 added and until there is a uniform distribution of the materials and the mass is uniform
 in colour.

 The entire contents of the mixed drum shall be discharged before recharging. The
 volume of mixed material shall not exceed the rated capacity of the mixer. Whenever
 the mixer is started, 10% extra cement shall be added to the first batch and no extra
 payment will be made on this account.

 As a check on concrete consistency slump tests may be carried out and shall be in
 accordance with B.S. 1881. The Contractor shall provide the necessary apparatus and
 carry out such tests as are required. The slump of the concrete made with the specified
 water content, using dry materials, shall be determined and the water to be added
 under wet conditions shall be so reduced as to give approximately the same slump.

 The concrete shall be mixed as near to the place where it is required as is practicable,
 and only as much as is required for a specified section of the work shall be mixed at
 one time, such sections being commenced and finished in one operation without delay.
 All concrete must be efficiently handled and used in the Works within twenty (20)
 minutes of mixing. It shall be discarded from the mixer direct either into receptacles
 or barrows and shall be distributed by approved means which do not cause separation
 or otherwise impair the quality of the concrete. Approved mechanical means of
 handling will be encouraged, but the use of chutes for placing concrete is subject to
 prior approval of the Project Manager.

 Concrete shall be placed from a height not exceeding 1,500 mm directly into its
 permanent position and shall not be worked along the shutters to that position. Unless
 otherwise approved, concrete shall be placed in a single operation to the full thickness
 of slabs, beams, and similar members, and shall be placed in horizontal layers not
 exceeding 1,500 mm deep in the walls and similar members.

 Concrete in columns may be placed to a height of 4 meters with careful placing and
 vibration and satisfactory results. Where the height of the column exceeds 4 meters
 suitable openings must be left in the shutters so that this maximum lift is not exceeded.

 Concrete shall be placed continuously until completion of the part of the work between
 construction joints as specified hereinafter or of a part of the approved extent. At the
 completion of a specified or approved part a construction joint of the form and in the
 positions hereinafter specified shall be made. If stopping of concrete be unavoidable
 elsewhere, a construction joint shall be made where the work is stopped. A record of
 all such joints shall be made by the Contractor and a copy supplied to the Project
 Manager.

 Any accumulation of set concrete on the reinforcement shall be removed by wire
 brushing before further concrete is placed. The Contractor shall provide runways for
44                                                                      Section V. Contract data

      concreting to the satisfaction of the Project Manager. Under no circumstances will the
      runways be allowed to rest on the reinforcement. Care shall be taken that the concrete
      is not disturbed or subjected to vibrations and shocks during the setting period.
      Mixing machines, platforms and barrows shall be clean before commencing mixing
      and be cleaned on every cessation of work. Where concrete is laid on hardcore or
      other absorbent materials, the base shall be suitable and sufficiently wetted before the
      concrete is deposited.

     Works cube tests
      Work cubes are to be made at intervals as required by the Project Manager in
      accordance with C.P. 114, and the Contractor shall provide a continuous record of the
      concrete work. The cubes shall be made in approved 150 mm moulds in strict
      accordance with the Code of Practice. Three cubes shall be made on each occasion.
      Each cube shall be marked with a distinguishing number (numbers) to run
      consecutively and the date, and a record shall be kept o site giving the following
      particulars:-

      a)    Cube No.
      b)    Date made
      c)    Location in work
      d)    7-Day Test, Date, Strength
      e)    28-Day Test, Date, Strength

      Cubes shall be forwarded, carriage paid, to an approved Testing Authority, in time to
      be tested two at 7 days and the remaining one at the discretion of the Project Manager.
      No cube shall be dispatched within three days of casting. Copies of all Works Cube
      Tests shall be forwarded to the Project Manager and one shall be retained on site. If
      the strengths required above are not attained and maintained during the carrying out of
      the contract, the Contractor will be required to increase the proportion of cement
      and/or substitute better aggregates so as to give concrete which does comply with the
      requirements of the contract. The Contractor may be required to remove and replace
      at his own cost any concrete which fails to attain the required strength as ascertained
      by Works Cube Tests.

     Compaction
      At all times during which the concrete is being placed, the Contractor shall provide
      adequate trained and experienced labour to ensure that the concrete is compacted in
      the forms to the satisfaction of the Project Manager. Concrete shall not be placed at a
      rate greater than will permit satisfactory compaction or to a depth greater than 400 mm
      before it is compacted.

      During and immediately after placing, the concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by
      means of continuous tamping, spading, slicing and vibration. Vibration is required for
      all concrete of classes 40, 35, 25, and 20. Care shall be taken to fill every part of the
      forms, to work the concrete under and around the reinforcement without displacing it
      to avoid disturbing recently placed concrete which has began to set. Any water
      accumulating on the surface of newly placed concrete shall be removed and no further
      concrete shall be placed thereon until such water is removed.

Discounts or any modification to bid prices not submitted in accordance with Clause 19 shall be rejected. 20. Bid Opening 15.1 The Employer will open the bids, including modifications in the presence of bidders representatives who choose to attend at the time and in the place specified in the Bid Data Sheet. The bidders’ names, the Bid prices, the total amount of each Bid, any discounts, the presence or absence of Bid Security, bid modifications and withdrawals will be announced by the Employer at the opening. 15.2 Bids or modifications that are not opened and read out at bid opening shall not be considered further for evaluation, irrespective of the circumstances. In particular, any discount offered by a Bidder which is not read out at bid opening shall not be considered further. 21. Process to be Confidential 21.1 Information relating to the examination, clarification, evaluation, and comparison of bids and recommendations for the award of a contract shall not be disclosed until the award to the successful Bidder has been announced. Any effort by a Bidder to influence the Employer’s processing of bids or award decisions may result in the rejection of his Bid. 22. Clarification of Bids 22.1 To assist in the examination, evaluation, and comparison of bids, the Employer may, at the Employer’s discretion, ask any Bidder for clarification of the Bidder’s Bid. The request for clarification and the response shall be in writing or by cable, telex, or facsimile, but no change in the price or substance of the Bid shall be sought, offered, or permitted except as required to confirm the correction of arithmetic errors discovered by the Employer in the evaluation of the bids in accordance with Clause 24. 23. Examination of Bids and Determination of Responsiveness 23.1 Prior to the detailed evaluation of bids, the Employer will determine whether each bid is substantially responsive to the requirements of the bidding documents. A substantially responsive Bid is one, which conforms to all the terms, conditions and specifications of the bidding documents, without material deviation or reservation. A material deviation or reservation is one: (a) which affects in any substantial way the scope, quality, or performance of the Works; or (b) which limits in any substantial way, inconsistent with the documents, the Employer’s rights or the Bidder’s obligations under the Contract; or
  • 12. 12 Section I. Instructions to bidders (c) whose rectification would affect unfairly the competitive position of other bidders presenting substantially responsive bids? 23.2 If a Bid is not substantially responsive, it will be rejected by the Employer, and may not subsequently be made responsive by correction or withdrawal of the nonconforming deviation or reservation. 24. Correction of Errors 24.1 Bids determined to be substantially responsive will be checked by the Employer for any arithmetic errors. Errors will be corrected by the Employer as follows: (a) where there is a discrepancy between the amounts in figures and in words, the amount in words will govern; (b) where there is a discrepancy between the unit rate and the line item total resulting from multiplying the unit rate by the quantity, the unit rate as quoted will govern; and (c) if the Bidder refuses to accept the correction his Bid will be rejected, and the Bid Security will be forfeited in accordance with Clause 14. 25. Currency for Bid Evaluation 25.1 Bids will be evaluated as quoted in the currency of the Employer’s country as defined in the Contract Data in accordance with Sub-Clause 12.1, unless a Bidder has used different exchange rates than those prescribed in Sub-Clause 12.2, in which case the Bid will be first converted into the amounts payable in different currencies using the rates quoted in the Bid and then reconverted to the Employer’s currency using the exchange rates prescribed in Sub-Clause 12.2. 26. Evaluation and Comparison of Bids 26.1 The Employer will evaluate and compare only the bids determined to be substantially responsive in accordance with Clause 24. 26.2 In evaluating the bids, the Employer will determine for each Bid the evaluated Bid price by adjusting the Bid price as follows: (a) making any correction for errors pursuant to Clause 24; (b) excluding provisional sums and the provision, if any, for contingencies in the Bill of Quantities, but including Daywork, where priced competitively; and (c) making appropriate adjustments to reflect discounts or other price modifications offered in accordance with Sub-Clause 19.5. 26.3 The Employer may waive any minor informality or non-conformity, which does not constitute a material deviation, provided such waiver does not prejudice or affect the relative standing of any Bidder. Variations, deviations, and alternative offers and other factors, which are in excess of the requirements of the bidding documents or otherwise result in unsolicited benefits for the Employer will not be taken into account in Bid evaluation.
  • 13. Section I. Instructions to bidders 13 27. Award of Contract 27.1 Subject to Clause 28, the Employer will award the Contract to the Bidder whose Bid has been determined to be substantially responsive to the bidding documents and who has offered the lowest evaluated Bid price, provided that such Bidder has been qualified in accordance with the provisions of Clause 3. 28. Employers Right to Accept any Bid to Reject any or all Bids 28.1 Notwithstanding Clause 27, the Employer reserves the right to accept or reject any Bid, and to cancel the bidding process and reject all bids, at any time prior to the award of Contract, without thereby incurring any liability to the affected Bidder or bidders or any obligation to inform the affected Bidder or bidders of the grounds for the Employer’s action. 29.

If in the opinion of the the Project Manager the aggregate meets the above requirements, but is dirty or adulterated in any manner it shall be screened and/or washed with clean water if he so directs at the Contractor’s expense. Aggregates shall be delivered to the site in their prescribed sizes or grading and shall be stockpiled on paved areas or boarded platforms in separate units to avoid intermixing. Fine aggregate Fine aggregate shall be sand free from impurities and complying with British Standard No. 882. Grading zone 2 of Table 2. Coarse aggregate
  • 38. 38 Section V. Contract data Coarse aggregate shall be hard crushed rock free from impurities and complying with British Standard No. 882 "graded aggregate" 20 mm to 5 mm nominal size as Table 1. Water Water for concrete shall be free from impurities, complying with BS 3148 Hardcore Hardcore for filling under floors shall be good, hard stone ballast or quarry waste, to the approval of the the Project Manager, broken to pass through not greater than a 150 mm ring or to be 75% of the finished thickness of the layers being compacted, whichever is the lesser. Hardcore shall be free from all weeds, roots, vegetable soil, clay, black cotton soil or other unstable materials. It shall be graded with smaller stones and fine materials to give a dense compact mass after consolidation. Sufficient fine material shall be added to each layer to give gradation of material as necessary to obtain a solid compact mass after rolling. Hardcore filling is to be laid in layers each of a consolidated thickness not exceeding 250 mm. Each layer shall be compacted by at least 8 passes of a 10-tonne smooth- wheeled roller or a 2-tonne vibrating roller until all movement ceases. Sufficient water is to be added to obtain maximum compaction to the the Project Manager’s approval. To each layer a 25 mm thick layer of sand complying with the specification of fine aggregate for concrete shall be spread over the surface and forced into the hardcore by the use of a vibrating roller weighing not less than 2 tones. This operation should be carried out when the materials are dry and repeated whilst the sand is well watered. Should all the sand be absorbed the the Project Manager may require a further layer to be applied and the process repeated. The top surface of the hardcore shall be leveled or graded to fall as required, and shall then be blinded with a layer of similar material broken to 25 mm gauge and finished with a 10-tonne smooth-wheeled roller. The surface so obtained shall be to the Engineer’s approval. Compacted hardcore The sub-grade shall be compacted by a smooth-wheeled roller of 8 to 10 tonnes weight or the vibrating roller of minimum 1300 Kg., or other approved plant. The number of coverage shall be at least 10 and there shall be a 50% overlap of successive coverage. If so instructed by the Engineer, water shall be added during compaction to obtain optimum water content. Filling shall be compacted as above but in maximum 200 mm deep layers. Sand The sand shall be as described for fine aggregate but that for plastering shall be light in colour and well graded to a suitable fineness in accordance with the nature of work in order to obtain the finish directed.
  • 39. 39 Finishes General The Contractor will be required from an early stage in the contract to prepare samples, for the approval of the the Project Manager, of the various concrete finishes specified hereafter. Samples are to be prepared using the same materials and the same methods of construction, compaction, curing, etc. as the Contractor proposes to use for executing the full quantity of the work. A record of the mix, water content, method of compaction, any additives used, etc., is to be kept for each sample prepared. When the the Project Manager has approved a sample it will be kept on site in an approved location. The finishes in construction will be expected to be up to a standard equal to the approved sample. Consistency in cement colour, and the colour, grading and quality of aggregates must be maintained in all finished concrete work. Mortars Cement mortar shall consist of one part of Portland cement to three parts sand by volume. The cement/lime mortar shall consist of one part of Portland cement, one part of lime and six parts of sand by volume. The ingredients of mortar shall be measured in proper gauge boxes on a boarded platform, the ingredients being thoroughly mixed dry, and again whilst adding water. In the case of cement/lime mortar, sand and lime shall be mixed first and then the cement added. All mortar is to be thoroughly mixed to a uniform consistency with only sufficient water to obtain a plastic condition suitable for toweling. No mortar that has commenced to set is to be used or re-mixed for use. Tamped finish Areas so specified shall be finished at the time of casting with a tamped finish to the Engineer’s approval produced by an edge board. Board marks are to be made to a true pattern and will generally be at right angles to the traffic flow. Haphazard or diagonal tamping will not be accepted. Fair face Fair face surfaces shall be clean, smooth, even, true to form, line and level, and free from all board marks, joint marks, honeycombing, pitting, and other blemishes. Forms are to be provided with a smooth lining of plywood, steel, or other approved material which will achieve the required finish without any general rubbing down. Rubbing down will only be permitted to remove any projecting fins at corners or joints. Fine face Fine face surfaces shall be for Fair face above, but to a higher standard obtained from forms provided with an impervious sheet lining of metal or plastics faced plywood in large panels arranged in an approved pattern. Rubbing down shall only be permitted
  • 40. 40 Section V. Contract data after an inspection by the Project Manager. The finished surfaces shall be capable of receiving a painted finish. Chisel-dressed finish Chisel-dressed finish is to be carried out on any grade of concrete but not until it is at least 30 days old. The surfaces are to be fully chisel-dressed to remove a maximum of 12 mm (average 9 mm) of the surface by shearing and exposing the aggregate without excessive cracking of the surrounding matrix. Arises of columns, beams, etc., are pre- formed fair face with timber fillets set in the formwork and care must be taken in working up to these to preserve a clean line. For vertical surfaces of walls and columns particular care must be taken to remove all sharp projections. For beam soffits this requirement is not necessary. All surfaces requiring this treatment are to have margins chisel-dressed by hand for a minimum width of 75 mm commencing from the fillet edge. Thereafter, mechanical chisel- dressing may be used, but the Contractor must ensure that a uniform texture and even plane surface is achieved. The use of sharply pointed steel tools for both hand and mechanical chisel-dressing is essential. Upon completion the surfaces are to be thoroughly wire brushed and washed down. Protection of finishes Wherever possible, in-situ exposed concrete finishes should be commenced at the highest level and worked progressively down the building. Precaution shall be taken to avoid staining or discoloration of previously finished concrete faces by leakage of grout from newly placed concrete. The Contractor shall, during all stages of construction, adequately protect all concrete finishes from Damage by leaking grout, knocking, paint stains, falling plaster, etc. In cases of balustrade walls to staircases and members where Damage is otherwise likely, concrete finishes shall be protected by cladding with timber, celotex, or other approved sheeting. All Sub-contractors shall be informed accordingly on the precautions to be taken. Blinding All blinding concrete to be 1:3:6, or as otherwise instructed by the Project Manager in writing. Formwork The method and system of formwork which the Contractor proposes to use shall be approved of by the Project Manager before construction commences. Formwork shall be substantially and rigidly constructed of timber or steel or pre-cast concrete or other approved material. All timber for formwork shall be good, sound, clean, sawn, well-seasoned timber, free from warps and loose knots and of scantings sufficiently strong for their purpose. Construction of formwork
  • 41. 41 All formwork shall be of sufficient thickness and with joints close enough to prevent undue leakage of liquid from the concrete and fixed to proper alignment, level and plumb and supported on sufficiently strong bearers, shores, braces, plates e.t.c. properly held together by bolts or other fastenings to prevent displacement, vibration or movement by the weight of materials, men and plant on same and so wedged and clamped as to permit easing and removal of the formwork without jarring the concrete. Where formwork is supported on previously constructed portions of the reinforced concrete structural frame, the Contractor shall by consultation with the Project Manager ensure that the supporting concrete is capable of carrying the load and/or sufficiently propped from lower floors or portions of the frame to permit the load to be temporarily carried during construction. Soffits shall be erected with an upward camber of 5 mm for each 5 meters of horizontal span or as directed by the Project Manager. Great care shall be taken to make and maintain all joints in the formwork as tight as possible, to prevent the leakage of grout during vibration. All faulty joints shall be caulked to the Project Manager’s approval before concreting. The formwork shall be sufficiently rigid to ensure that no distortion or bulging occurs under the effects of vibration. If at any time the formwork is insufficiently rigid or in any way defective the Contractor shall strengthen or improve such formwork as the Project Manager may direct. The Contractor’s attention is drawn to the various surface textures and applied finishes required and the faces of formwork next to the concrete must be of such material and construction and be sufficiently true to provide a concrete surface which will in each particular case permit the specified surface treatment or applied finish. All surfaces which will be in contact with concrete shall be oiled or greased to prevent adhesion of mortar. Oil or grease shall be of a non-staining mineral type applied as a thin film before the reinforcement is placed. Surplus moisture shall be removed from the forms prior to placing of the concrete. Temporary openings shall be provided at the base of columns, wall and beam forms and at any other points where necessary to facilitate cleaning and inspection immediately before the pouring of concrete. Before the concrete is placed the shuttering shall be trued-up and any water accumulated therein shall be removed. All sawdust, nails, chips and other debris shall be washed out or otherwise removed from within the formwork. The reinforcement shall then be inspected for accuracy of fixing. Immediately before placing the concrete the formwork shall be well wetted and inspection openings shall be closed. The erection, easing, striking and removing of all formwork must be done under the personal supervision of a competent foreman, and any Damage occurring through faulty formwork or its incorrect removal shall be made good by the Contractor at his own expense. After removal of formwork, all projections, fins etc., on the concrete surface shall be chipped off, and made good to the requirements of the Project Manager. Any voids or honeycombing shall be treated as described in “Faulty Concrete”. Stripping formwork
  • 42. 42 Section V. Contract data All formwork shall be removed without undue vibration or shock and without Damage to the concrete. No formwork shall be removed without the prior consent of the Engineer and the minimum periods that shall elapse between the placing of the concrete and the striking of the formwork will be as follows: Beam sides, wall and columns 2 days Slab Soffits (props left under) 3 days Beam Soffits 7 days Removal of props (partly subject to 7 days concrete cube strength being satisfactory) to: Slabs 10 days Beams 14 days Cantilevered Beams and Slabs 28 days If the Contractor wishes to take advantage of the shorter stripping times permitted for beams and slab soffits when props are left in place, he must so design his formwork that sufficient props are agreed with the Project Manager can remain in their original positions without being moved in any way until the expiry of the minimum time for removal of props. Stripping and re-propping will not be permitted. The above times may be reduced in certain circumstances, at the discretion of the Engineer provided an approved method is adopted at the Contractor’s expense to ensure that the required concrete strength is attained before the forms are stripped. Solid strips in composite slabs shall be considered as beams. The tops of retaining walls shall be adequately supported with stout raking props at intervals required by the Engineer. These props are not to be removed until 7 days after casting of the floor slab is over. Supporting props to wall and beam soffits When directed by the Project Manager, supporting props to wall and beam soffits are to be left in position until the completion of the whole of the reinforced concrete structure. The props are to be to the approval of the Engineer and the Contractor must submit the suggested method of propping to the Engineer prior to removal of formwork to the relevant surfaces. Concrete mixes Concrete to be used shall be of the classes specified in "Ministry of Works standard Specification" Section 17. Class Nomin Trial Strength in N/mm2 Where used in this al mix Contract 7 day 28 day 15 1:3:6 13 19.5 Surround to pipes 25 1:2:4 25 32.5 Spillway lining, walls
  • 43. 43 Concrete mixing and placing The concrete shall be mixed only in approved power-driven mixers of a type and capacity suitable for the work, and in any event not smaller than 0.04/0.28 cu.m. capacity. The mixer shall be equipped with an accurate water measuring device. All materials shall be thoroughly mixed dry before water is added and the mixing of each batch shall continue for a period of not less than two minutes after the water has been added and until there is a uniform distribution of the materials and the mass is uniform in colour. The entire contents of the mixed drum shall be discharged before recharging. The volume of mixed material shall not exceed the rated capacity of the mixer. Whenever the mixer is started, 10% extra cement shall be added to the first batch and no extra payment will be made on this account. As a check on concrete consistency slump tests may be carried out and shall be in accordance with B.S. 1881. The Contractor shall provide the necessary apparatus and carry out such tests as are required. The slump of the concrete made with the specified water content, using dry materials, shall be determined and the water to be added under wet conditions shall be so reduced as to give approximately the same slump. The concrete shall be mixed as near to the place where it is required as is practicable, and only as much as is required for a specified section of the work shall be mixed at one time, such sections being commenced and finished in one operation without delay. All concrete must be efficiently handled and used in the Works within twenty (20) minutes of mixing. It shall be discarded from the mixer direct either into receptacles or barrows and shall be distributed by approved means which do not cause separation or otherwise impair the quality of the concrete. Approved mechanical means of handling will be encouraged, but the use of chutes for placing concrete is subject to prior approval of the Project Manager. Concrete shall be placed from a height not exceeding 1,500 mm directly into its permanent position and shall not be worked along the shutters to that position. Unless otherwise approved, concrete shall be placed in a single operation to the full thickness of slabs, beams, and similar members, and shall be placed in horizontal layers not exceeding 1,500 mm deep in the walls and similar members. Concrete in columns may be placed to a height of 4 meters with careful placing and vibration and satisfactory results. Where the height of the column exceeds 4 meters suitable openings must be left in the shutters so that this maximum lift is not exceeded. Concrete shall be placed continuously until completion of the part of the work between construction joints as specified hereinafter or of a part of the approved extent. At the completion of a specified or approved part a construction joint of the form and in the positions hereinafter specified shall be made. If stopping of concrete be unavoidable elsewhere, a construction joint shall be made where the work is stopped. A record of all such joints shall be made by the Contractor and a copy supplied to the Project Manager. Any accumulation of set concrete on the reinforcement shall be removed by wire brushing before further concrete is placed. The Contractor shall provide runways for
  • 44. 44 Section V. Contract data concreting to the satisfaction of the Project Manager. Under no circumstances will the runways be allowed to rest on the reinforcement. Care shall be taken that the concrete is not disturbed or subjected to vibrations and shocks during the setting period. Mixing machines, platforms and barrows shall be clean before commencing mixing and be cleaned on every cessation of work. Where concrete is laid on hardcore or other absorbent materials, the base shall be suitable and sufficiently wetted before the concrete is deposited. Works cube tests Work cubes are to be made at intervals as required by the Project Manager in accordance with C.P. 114, and the Contractor shall provide a continuous record of the concrete work. The cubes shall be made in approved 150 mm moulds in strict accordance with the Code of Practice. Three cubes shall be made on each occasion. Each cube shall be marked with a distinguishing number (numbers) to run consecutively and the date, and a record shall be kept o site giving the following particulars:- a) Cube No. b) Date made c) Location in work d) 7-Day Test, Date, Strength e) 28-Day Test, Date, Strength Cubes shall be forwarded, carriage paid, to an approved Testing Authority, in time to be tested two at 7 days and the remaining one at the discretion of the Project Manager. No cube shall be dispatched within three days of casting. Copies of all Works Cube Tests shall be forwarded to the Project Manager and one shall be retained on site. If the strengths required above are not attained and maintained during the carrying out of the contract, the Contractor will be required to increase the proportion of cement and/or substitute better aggregates so as to give concrete which does comply with the requirements of the contract. The Contractor may be required to remove and replace at his own cost any concrete which fails to attain the required strength as ascertained by Works Cube Tests. Compaction At all times during which the concrete is being placed, the Contractor shall provide adequate trained and experienced labour to ensure that the concrete is compacted in the forms to the satisfaction of the Project Manager. Concrete shall not be placed at a rate greater than will permit satisfactory compaction or to a depth greater than 400 mm before it is compacted. During and immediately after placing, the concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by means of continuous tamping, spading, slicing and vibration. Vibration is required for all concrete of classes 40, 35, 25, and 20. Care shall be taken to fill every part of the forms, to work the concrete under and around the reinforcement without displacing it to avoid disturbing recently placed concrete which has began to set. Any water accumulating on the surface of newly placed concrete shall be removed and no further concrete shall be placed thereon until such water is removed.
