(b) Value-related obligations . . . . . . . . . . . lump sum
(c) Time-related obligations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . month
Payment of the lump sums tendered under Subitems (a), (b)
and the rate per month for Subitem (c) shall, for the three
subitems together, include full compensation for all the
Contractor's charges in respect of the following items,
collectively termed the "Contractor's General Obligations".
(i) Setting up and maintaining his organisation, camps,
accommodation and constructional plant on the site and
their removal on completion of the contract.
(ii) Complying with the requirements of the General
Conditions of Contract and Section 1200, including the
effecting of insurances and providing the sureties required.
(iii) All general site and office overheads, profit, financing
costs, risks, legal and contractual responsibilities and other
costs and obligations of a preliminary or general nature
which are not specifically measured for payment under any
other items of payment.
The lump sum tendered under Subitem 13.01(a) above shall
represent full compensation for the fixed part of the
Contractor's general obligations (ie that part which is
substantially fixed and is not a function of the time required
for the completion of the Contract or of the value of the
work).
Should the final value of the work (excluding any payments
in terms of the General Conditions of Contract) increase or
decrease by 20% or less in relation to the tendered amount
(less any allowances, if any, in the tender for price
adjustments in terms of the General Conditions of Contract),
the lump sum tendered for Subitem 13.01(a) shall not be
subject to any variation whatsoever. However, should the
said increase or decrease of the final value of the work
exceed 20% of the tendered amount, the provisions of the
General Conditions of Contract shall apply to that portion of
the said increase or decrease which is in excess of 20% of
the tendered amount.
Payment of the lump sum tendered under Subitem 13.01(a)
will be made in three instalments, as follows:
(1) The first instalment, 50% of the lump sum, will be
paid in the first payment certificate after the Contractor has
met all his obligations under this Section and has made a
substantial start with construction in accordance with the
approved programme.
(2) The second instalment, 35% of the lump sum, will be
paid when the value of the work done reaches one half of
the tendered amount, excluding contingencies and price
adjustments in terms of the General Conditions of Contract.
(3) The third and final instalment, 15% of the lump sum,
will be paid when the Works have been completed and the
Contractor has fulfilled all the requirements of this Section.
Before any payment is made under this subitem, the
Contractor shall satisfy the Engineer that he has provided
camps and constructional plant of good quality on the site,
the value of which exceeds that of the first instalment.
The Contractor may also be required to furnish documentary
proof that he owns the camps and constructional plant on
the site, the value of which shall exceed that of the first
instalment.
1300-2
n the event of the Contractor not being able to satisfy the
Engineer as to the ownership of the camps and
constructional plant, the Engineer shall have the right to
withhold parts of any payments to be made under this
subitem, until the Works have been completed.
The lump sum tendered under Subitem 13.01(b) shall
represent full compensation for that part of the Contractor's
general obligations, which are a function of only the value of
the work, but not of the period of completion. Should the
final value of the work (excluding any payments in terms of
the General Conditions of Contract) increase or decrease by
20% or less in relation to the tendered amount (less any
allowances, if any, in the tender for price adjustments in
terms of the General Conditions of Contract), the lump sum
tendered for Subitem 13.01(b) will be increased or
decreased pro rata in full settlement of any difference in
value-related general obligations resulting from an increased
or decreased value of the work.
However, should the said increase or decrease in the final
value of the work exceed 20% of the tendered amount, the
above-mentioned pro rata increase or decrease in the lump
sum tendered under Subitem 13.01(b) shall apply up to the
limit of 20%, and the provisions of the General Conditions of
Contract shall apply to that portion of the said increase or
decrease which is in excess of the said limit of 20% of the
tendered amount.
The lump sum tendered in Subitem 13.01(b) will be payable
monthly in instalments in relation to the value of work done
(excluding the value of any price adjustments in terms of
the General Conditions of Contract).
The tendered rate per month for Subitem 13.01(c)
represents full compensation for that part of the Contractor's
general obligations which are mainly a function of
construction time. The tendered sum will be paid monthly,
pro rata for parts of a month, from the date on which the
Contractor has received a written instruction, in terms of the
General Conditions of Contract, to start the work until the
end of the period for completion of the Works, plus any
extension thereof as provided for in the General Conditions
of Contract, provided that:
(a) should the Works be certified as having been
completed before the contractual date for completion of the
Works, the Contractor will then be entitled to payments in
regard to the unexpired period for completion;
(b) should the progress of the Contractor in terms of the
value of work done be in arrears in regard to his approved
original programme, payments in respect of this item may
be limited to payments for that period, which, in his original
programme (after suitable adjustments in respect of the
extension of time granted) agrees with the actual value of
work done.
Any payment made under tem 13.01 will not be taken into
account when determining whether the value of a certificate
complies with the "minimum amount of interim certificate",
as laid down in the appendix to tender. The adjustments
specified in Subitems (a), (b) and (c) will be made only if the
value of the work or the period for completion were to
change and it is agreed that such adjustments will be in full
settlement of the changed compensation for amended
general obligations.
