Contract Documentation
Assuming the traditional procurement route with ICE 6th edition form of contract and a bill of quantities then the contract documents in order of importance are as follows: (1) Conditions of Contract As detailed above, the conditions of contract represent the legally binding agreement between the parties and cover such important elements as expected completion date of the work, methods and timing of payments, access to the works, sequence of construction, storage areas available to the contractor etc. (2) Contract Drawings These indicate the location, scope and design complexity of the works and show graphically the full extent of what is required to be constructed. (3) Specication The specication details the quality required in the works. The contract drawings indicate locational information but cannot readily represent quality they therefore have cross-references to specication clauses which fully describe the expected quality of each element. Quality may be specied by prescriptive or performance criteria. (4) Bill of Quantities The denition used in rule 1.7 of CESMM3 is as follows: Bill of Quantities means a list of items giving brief identifying descriptions and estimated quantities of the work comprised in a Contract. This denition rightly infers that the bill should be brief and should not unnecessarily repeat information contained elsewhere on the drawings or the specication. Because of the uncertain nature of much of civil engineering work at the billing stage the quantities are correctly dened as estimated, and in the majority of contracts the works will be remeasured on site to reect the true quantities actually required. It should be noted that bills of quantities, while desirable, are not essential contract documents. However the other three documents are essential in order to fully detail what is contractually required.
