remove and dispose of or otherwise remedy, at the Contractor’s expense any defective
or unsatisfactory work produced with the alternative equipment.

Neither the Employer nor the Contractor shall have any claim against the other for
either the withholding or the granting of permission to use alternative equipment, or
for the withdrawal of the permission.

(m) Maintenance of Existing Roads

Upon receipt of the Notice to Commence, the Contractor shall assume the
responsibility for maintaining properly the road sections scheduled for improvement
under this Contract. The obligation shall extend to public roads outside the Contract
limits and all detour structures that are used as access or haul roads by the Contractor.
Maintenance shall generally consist of routine patching, repairs and correction of
deformations for asphalt and concrete surfaced roads and the cyclic grading and repair
of gravel or earth surface roads. In addition to normal maintenance activities, the
Contractor shall be required to repair, at his own expense, any damage to any roads or
structures resulting from construction traffic associated with the Contract passing over
such roads or structures. Maintenance and repair work shall be carried out in
accordance with relevant Specifications or as instructed by the Engineer. Watering of
gravel road when necessary shall be made to reduce dust and nuisance to the public.
In relation to construction execution, traffic regulation such as load limit, traffic rules,
etc., shall be strictly in accordance with the traffic law of Timor - Leste and shall be
strictly observed. In case of any damage to existing road or structure, the Contractor
shall repair properly the damaged portion without delay at his own expense to the
satisfaction of the Engineer.

Maintenance of the existing road(s) shall not be measured for direct payment, but is a
subsidiary obligation of the Contractor under the Contract, covered by the unit rates
entered by the Contractor under the different pay items in the Bill of Quantities.

In cases where prior to start of construction operations the condition of the road or
structure to be used by the Contractor for construction operations is in deteriorated
condition which poses danger to the public, the Engineer may direct the Contractor to
rectify deteriorated panels or sections to an acceptable standard chargeable to the
project. Thereafter, maintenance shall be the sole obligation of the Contractor.

Any failure of the Contractor in complying with the obligations for maintenance and
traffic control of the existing road as specified above shall entitle the Engineer to carry
out such works as he deems necessary and to charge the Contractor with the full costs
thereof plus ten (10) percent of such cost, which shall be deducted from any expenses
due or which may become due to the Contractor under the Contract.

The MTCPW Standard Specifications, series of 2005 shall govern in the absence of regular pay items in this
specification.

SECTION 100 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

ITEM 101 FACILITIES FOR THE ENGINEER

101.1 Sub-Section 101.1 of the MTCPW Standard Specifications, 2005 Offices and
laboratories for the Engineer is revised to read as follows:

101.1 (a) Provide Building for Field Office, Laboratory and Engineer’s Quarters including
Medical Room on a designated state-owned site. The Contractor shall furnish,
place or erect and
Section VI – Fraud and Corruption 116

maintain until final acceptance of the project the hereinafter referred to as

the “Engineer’s Compound:

One (1) unit combined field office building and materials testing laboratory
and a separate building for the living quarters. The Engineer’s Compound shall
also contain a medical room for treatment of minor injuries to workers and
staff.

The Engineer will advise the site for the Engineer’s buildings to be approved by the
Ministry of Public Works (MPW) at the start of the construction contract.

The building shall be constructed in accordance with the standard specifications and
design shown on the Construction Drawings. The facilities shall be provided with all the
necessary electricity, water, drainage, sewer and security services for twenty-four (24)
hours a day, for all days of the contract period, for the exclusive use of the Engineer
and his staff. The Contractor shall obtain approval from the Engineer on the detailed
layout of the Engineer’s Compound before any work upon them is commenced.

The Engineer’s Compound shall be fenced with barbed wire (or equivalent) to a height
as shown on the Drawings and with necessary gates as directed or as shown on plans.
The estimated perimeter of fencing shall be determined and approved by the Engineer.
When required, the ground shall be raised to a grade that will keep it completely free
from flooding or to prevent inundation during rainy season. The compound shall be
provided with a parking area for at least six (6) vehicles. Outside lighting around the
building and parking shall be installed to the satisfaction of the Engineer and be
maintained at all times. Appropriate signs shall be installed to identify the facility to

Should there be no main electric line available, the Contractor shall also provide a
generator or power generating unit with enough capacity to supply the power needed.
The generator shall be housed in solid concrete bunkers to minimize the noise of the
operation and shall be located remotely from the building it is servicing.

All installations, fixtures, fittings and accessories shown are to be understood as

minimum requirements only and shall not restrict the Engineer from ordering the
Contractor to provide supplementary provisions. In the absence of any details or
specifications or provisions for the purpose of making alterations or amendments to the
Pay Items, the Contractor shall seek approval from the Engineer.

A septic tank, as part of the facilities for the engineer, shall have a capacity of not less
than six (6) cubic meters with two compartments. The Contractor must provide a drain
field with drain tile or a leaching well with adequate capacity for the personnel and the
usage of the facility for the duration of the Contract. The Contractor may propose other
satisfactory methods for disposing of sanitary waste that may be implemented only after
the written approval of the Engineer.

It shall be understood that if the Contractor cannot provide the articles as described or
intends to supply equivalent substitutes, he should secure the approval of the Engineer.

At the completion of the Contract, the combined Field Office/Laboratory and the Living
Quarters for the Engineer shall be turned-over and become property of the Government.

first seek the Engineer’s approval of the building proposed to be rented before
finalizing any rental agreement. The building for the Engineer shall be
supplied with potable water and electricity 24/7, all as approved by the
Engineer.

In the event of Contractors default to complete and make ready for occupancy the
permanent Field Office Building, Laboratory and Quarters within the three (3) month
period, the Contractor will be solely responsible for the cost of extending rental,
operation and maintenance of the temporary facilities until such time that the permanent
facilities are occupied by the Engineer.

The unit of measurement for the provision of Engineer’s Temporary Office,
