General, Requirements
 Description and Scope of works
 Related documents
 Summary of the specific works
 References and standards etc

 Specific Requirements,
 Any requirements to be adhered to in the specific work area

 Types and Quality of Materials that must be used

 Description of materials, Standards

 Units to be used in the measurement of the works, as well as how
the completed work is to be measured, such as in m2 Linear meter
(LM) etc
 Method of Payment
 Method of payments, unit rates etc.

These sub divisions are in fact applicable and form a general guideline to all forms of
construction activities. In general therefore planning specifications follows the sequence of the
works, further divided into specific requirements described above.
A sample specification taken form an actual construction project in Ethiopia is shown below.

1. General items

1.1 Project Description: - what the nature of the project is or an introduction to the
project. Describing the scope of works with a detailed account of the extent of the
work.
1.2 Scope:
“This section covers matters which relate to the construction work as a whole.
Definitions, phrases or wording which would otherwise require repetition in
other sections of the Specifications are also covered by clauses in this section.
Matters covered by the General Conditions of Contract are not repeated in this
section, except where necessary in order to provide more detailed information.”

1.3 Works executed by the employer or other contractors: The Employer reserves
the right to execute, on the Site, works not included in the Contract and to
employ for his purpose either his own employees or other contractors. The
Contractor shall ensure that neither his own operations nor the actions of his
employees shall interfere with the operations of the Employer or his contractors
employed on such work and the same obligations shall be imposed on the
Employer or contractors in respect of work being executed under the Contract

1.4 Location and access Where the project is or the geographical location or the
access options to the site as well as the general description of the surrounding
areas. The Access description usually contains the type of the access roads that
exist, whether it is Gravel or, Bitumen surfaced, all weather or Dry weather road
or if there is no access hence instructing the contractor to build an access road.
“The contractor shall use the temporary roads to and within the site as agreed
with the Engineer. The Contractor will not be allowed to use any other routes
except with the express permission of the Engineer. The contractor shall
provide, maintain and clear away on completion all necessary temporary roads,
access, hard standings culverts and the like There shall be no unnecessary
obstruction to existing roads and rights of way and any damaged caused shall
in any case be made good as it occurs by the contractor at his expense.”
1.5 Special precaution during construction: instruction on issues such as protection
of adjacent property, protection or relocation of public utilities, should be
included. When writing such parts of the specification it is prudent to keep in
mind the cost implication on the project. The specifications may state “This
Contract may include certain work involved in moving and reinstating existing
services that may be affected by the construction of the Works. The Employer
will provide information regarding the location of existing utility service, in the
works area but the Employer does not accept responsibility for the accuracy of
the information….the contractor shall take all the necessary precautions to
protect existing services during construction and during relocation of such
services. ….. any pipe , cable, conduit, or other known service of any nature
whatsoever, which has been damaged as a result of the constructor’s operation
 shall be repaired and reinstated forthwith by the contractor or by the
authority concerned , all at the expense of the contractor and to the
satisfaction of the engineer”

1.6 Maintenance and protection of traffic: when existing traffic is heavy at a

construction site, the contractor should be required; to maintain and protect traffic
with a minimum of interference to the traveling public, the provision of detours,
maintaining minimum traffic etc need to be included in this section.

1.7 Climate: - gives a general description of the weather, describing any seasons of
rain etc. As this affects the timing of the construction as well as the time, it will
take to complete the project. Generally, such information will help the contractor
to have his construction schedule, such as when to do a specific job.

1.8 Soil conditions: - the specifications will give a general description of what the
soil profile looks like. Such sub soil information is also issued at the time of the
tendering, which may be supplemented by further investigation as the work is
started. This information helps the contractor to mobilize what type of machines
he needs:-Whether he has to use temporary roads or whether he can use the soil as
it is (with up grading or not). In issuing such information, one should be careful
to project the soil profile form the borehole data. The typical specification may
read “the subsurface information and data furnished herein are not intended as
representations or warranties but are furnished for information only. It is
expressly understood that the owner and the engineer will not be responsible,
for the accuracy thereof or for any deduction, interpretation or conclusion
drawn there from by the contractor. The information is made available in order
that the contractor may have ready access to the same information available to
the owner and the engineer and is not part of this contract.”

1.9 Units of Measurement:- specifies the type of measurement of standards

applicable to the contract, say international method of measurement (SI) or other
applicable types

MEASUREMENT
a) Units of measurements
All work shall be measured in metric units
b) Bills of Quantities

The quantities set out in the Bill of Quantities are estimated quantities and are
used for the comparison of Tenders and awarding the Contract. It must be
clearly understood that only the actual quantities of work done or materials
supplied shall be measured for payment, and that the billed quantities may be
increased or decreased as provided in the General Conditions of Contract.
Measurement of completed work

Except otherwise noted all distances shown on the Drawings are horizontal
 distances and these distances will be used in Calculating the
quantities of fill, sub base, bases, shoulder ,surfacing and paving for
payment purposes. All cross-sections shall be taken in a vertical plane.

1.10 WORKMANSHIP AND QUALITY CONTROL

The onus rests with the Contractor to produce work which conforms in quality
and accuracy of detail to the requirements of the Specifications and Drawings,
and the Contractor must, at his own expense, institute a quality control system
and provide experienced engineers, foreman, surveyors, materials technicians,
other technicians and other technical staff, together with all transport,
instruments and equipment, to ensure adequate supervision and positive control
of the Works at all times. The cost of all supervision and process control
including testing, so carried out by the Contractor shall be, deemed to be
included in the rates tendered for the related items of work, except that the cost
of certain tests and the provision separately as provided for in those of certain
items of testing and sampling equipment shall be paid for sections of the
Specifications where this applies

1.11 STANDARDS AND CODES:

The contract is based on the standards of quality established in the contract

documents and to this end certain acceptable manufacturers have been
indicated in the Specifications. Substitutions will be considered only when listed
at the time of bidding, together with documentation on establishing that the
item is, in fact, equal or better than that specified. In this Specification Subject
to the approval of the Engineer and the employer, any other national or
internationally accepted standard or manufacturer which maintains or
improves the specified quality may be used

The standard referred to shall be latest editions published at the time of Tender.
All the conditions and particulars as to standard of materials workmanship and
tests contained in such Standards shall be complied with for various Items
unless otherwise agreed by the Engineer. Copies, in the English language, of
any Standards used in connection with the Works shall be supplied to the
Engineer within ……. days of the Engineer's written request stipulating the
required standards. The contractor shall maintain on site one set of all specified
standards and will provide an extra set for the Engineer's office. The latter set
will revert to the Employer.

Where such standards and codes are national in character, or relate to a

particular country or region, other authoritative standards which ensure an
equal or higher quality than the standards and codes specified will be accepted
subject to the Engineer's prior review and written approval. Differences
 between the standards specified and the proposed alternative standards must be
fully described in writing by the Contractor and submitted to the Engineer at
least …………days prior to the date when the Contractor desires the Engineer's
approval. In the event the Engineer determines that such proposed deviations
do not ensure equal or higher quality, the Contractor shall comply with the
standards set forth in the documents.

1.12 Materials:-the type of materials and the specific requirements are stated with
reference to applicable standards.

1.13 Office and site facilities Has two sections that are
i. Facilities for the engineer
ii. Facilities for the contractor
Normally the contractor provides for the needs of the engineer on site, so that he is able
to carry out his tasks. These facilities may include items such as offices, sanitary units,
stores, parking areas etc. In most instances, these facilities are temporary but the client
may include provisions in the contract to keep the items at the end of the contract. The
specifications state the minimum usable space, and may include a sketch of the over-all
dimensions and layout of the building. The contractor may also provide for his own staff,
temporary site offices, living and accommodation facilities etc. If the site has little or no
storage area, the contractor may be required to provide such facilities at his own expense.

B. Site offices/Living accommodation: includes facilities for the Engineer, his staff,
contractor and his staff, workers etc.
Site office
“The office shall have a net floor area and consist of rooms and offices as
detailed in Figure -- Section --- all rooms shall be provided with through
ventilation and electric lighting of a minimum of 100 watts per room. A total of
eight power points shall be provided.”
C. Laboratories, the contract documents may specify the provision and set up as
well as staffing of laboratory facilities for the project. In areas where there may
be other independent laboratories nearby, this item may be omitted, but for remote
areas, it is usually necessary. The specifications state the types of testing
equipment, instruments, and type of building etc. Usually the usable area (area
not including walls, corridors, stairs, terraces etc). Sampling and testing of
materials is to be done under the direction of the engineer. “The Contractor shall
provide, furnish, equip and maintain for the duration of the Contract a site
office, and laboratory for the sole use of the Engineer's resident site staff. The
office and laboratory shall be located adjacent to the Contractor's main site
office and at a location approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall make
available to the Engineer all services provide for his own offices including road
access, fencing, hard standing, water, power, telephone, tele-fax, and
sewerage..”
 D. Survey equipments: documents specify the provision, the type and number of
survey equipments needed for use by the engineer and contractor. It is usually
written, as “the contractor shall provide…”

power water and telephone (communication) such as power required for the
temporary facilities and for the construction, Water for human consumption and
for the construction work such as concrete, washing sand etc use of potable water
for concrete if available, if not specify the source and quality of water to be used
for concreting etc. Telephones, communication for office uses and radios for site
communication, the need to obtain the necessary communication permit from the
relevant authorities. The availability source, and who should pay (whether the
contractor or the client) for these installations need to be included in the
specifications.

“The Contractor shall provide a constant supply of clean potable water suitable
for human consumption, as well as the necessary electric power at 220/250 V to
the offices and laboratory. Electric power shall be supplied to the offices and
laboratories 24 hours per day.”

1.14 Sewage and refuse disposal: specify the standards of treatment, “treated and
disposed of in a hygienic way to satisfy…”
1.15 Engineer’s transport: the contractor provides at all times (24 hrs.) for the sole
use of the engineer, a car… the vehicle is exclusively fro the use of the engineer
and the contractor has no right over it. It should also have full insurance
coverage,

“Motor vehicles of the make and type detailed below shall be supplied, serviced
and maintained in good running order by the Contractor for the full period of
the Contract. The specified vehicles shall, during the contract period, be made
available to the Engineer his representatives and those persons authorized by
him at all times (including at weekends) during breakdown and servicing
periods, equivalent alternative vehicles shall be provided at no extra cost.

audio system and roof rack”

1.16 The programme of work required in, terms of the General Conditions of
Contract shall be submitted to the Engineer not later than one month after the
Contractor has been given access to the Site The programme shall not be in the
form of a bar chart only, but shall clearly show the anticipated quantities of
work to be, performed each month, as well as the anticipated earnings for the
various sections of work.
 1.17 Drawings during the tendering period, drawings are issued so that the contractor
is able to price his tenders. These drawings normally contain sufficient detail, to
define the scope of the works. Frequently however, they require development and
elaboration before the various components can be fabricated. Drawings that
contain such details for fabrication and erection are called shop drawings. For
instance for reinforced concrete construction Shop drawings detail bar schedules,
bar bending details, formworks etc. When the works are, finished then, as built
drawings are prepared to show the work exactly as it is done and after the work is
finished. The specification should normally contain information o these aspects
of the construction

“The Contract Drawings show the general arrangement and details necessary
to perform the Work. The Contractor shall prepare Shop and Working
Drawings, for permanent and temporary Work, and for the proposed methods
of construction, complete with all relevant calculations, descriptions, technical
and performance data Shop Drawings shall consist of fabrication and erection
drawings, schedule drawings, manufacturer's scale drawings, wirings and
control diagrams, and other drawings as required by the specifications
Working Drawings are Contractor prepared plans for temporary structures
