DAYWORK RATES

Daywork rates will only be used as a basis for payment when the normal rates in the Bills of Quantities
are not applicable or where work cannot be properly measured or valued. No work shall be carried out on
Daywork basis except when ordered in writing by the Superintending Officer.

When work is ordered, the Contractor shall be paid Daywork Prices plus 15%, which shall include for the
use of all ordinary plant, tools, scaffolding, supervision, establishment charges and profit. Daywork prices
shall be taken to mean to actual prime cost to the Contractor of his material, transport and labour for the
work concerned.

The contractor shall produce for verification to the S.O. vouchers specifying the time and materials
employed on the work. If required, the Contractor shall also produce his receipted bills and wages book in
support of his accounts.

Where special mechanical plant is required for use on Daywork, the cost to be paid to Contractor shall be
subject to agreement by the S.O.

The cost of any materials supplied by Government for use on Daywork shall not be taken into account
when calculating the amount on which the 15% addition is based.

Only the time on work actually done will be allowed. A “Day” is considered to be normal working day of 8
hours. Fractions of a day will be paid for “pro-rata”.

Rates for power-driven tools are not included in the labour rates but charges for hand tools shall be
deemed to be included.
