Question 1

Process? Did you send to RCP who sent to Contractors?

Answer 1

I emailed to RCP, copied to contractors, QS, client, consultants involved

Question 2

SSSP stand for?

Answer 2

Site specific safety plan

Question 3

EoT how is it assessed against?
SCC section?

Answer 3

Understand critical path - steel shop drawings, fabrication, wall setouts
only critical activities, no every activity

SCC defines P&G related costs for variations. Contractor gets time but not costs for wet weather, strikes that are not caused by either party client/contractor. Don’t get P&G for wet weather.
Variation caused by Client/Consultant ream.
Check SCC what’s not entitled, outside of control of both parties
General conditions 11 ‘time for completing the contract works’

Covid is so new, an area of debate, difference in opinion regarding P&G costs. Research within WM - reach amicable closure.

Question 4

Substitution of materials - affects consented docs?

Answer 4

changing materials requires minor variation to consent. Fire report group ratings (ceilings/walls), and radiant fluxes (floors) consented. Discuss with inspector, stamp and sign off.
Amendments try to avoid - Council may want amendment where significant, eg changes to fire cells/smoke cells will be amendment and back up with statement from fire engineer.

Question 5

What is your role when Contractor makes changes on site different to consented documentation?

Answer 5

WM consider this activity outside of scope and claim for additional fees.

Question 6

Fire integrity 60mins
Fire insulation 60mins

Question 7

What if CCC takes longer than PC?
Why is CCC a prerequisite or can it follow later?
Complications? Consequences of this decision?

Answer 7

If I was to set the Practical completion certificate requirements in Schedule 22??
Recognition CCC may take longer than PC.
Qualify - CCC as precondition was requirement of the health board? Requirement by PM written into contract.
PC triggers financial releases
If contractor is delayed by issues beyond his control, may be a client issue or a design issue holding up CCC.
Debate as standard conditions wouldn’t find CCC as a prerequisite.

Question 8

Confirming change of insurance from contractor to client for new project?

Answer 8

Gastro existing project - existing structures and construction insurance was by principal??

Question 9

How would you establish the defects liability period? How does this affect the Tendering process?
DLP period in SCC vs 3910
why 12 months for mechanical only?
can you retain retentions for all trades?

Answer 9

DLP could be different! 3months building works in SCC.
Mercedes 6months for everything else, 12 months for mechanical

Air-conditioning operating through the seasons. Gastro service feedback too hot in 2 spaces, mech eng had to review. Could be 6 months with out the air con going.
10% of contract value, fix fault in mech, replace motor for aircon unit, need to have enough money
$15K for balance of 6 months

Unreasonable to retain total retentions for all trades when there are different periods specified.

On other hospital projects has been 12 months, assume may be an industry standard. Heavy on services and critical

Tender price will be higher at 12 months DLP compared to 3 months.

Different DLP’s complicates release of retentions
