Dr. Sam a)er a %*n! ime, us )e qui quesi*ns an/ i /* *$e &*u%% re$%& me ear%&.

I have one confusion regarding measurement of prime and tack coats for road layers,

though the very matter seems pretty much easy.

My questions are as given hereunder:

1. As you know, the road layers have some side slopes (angle of repose) after

placement and rolling, eing dependent on material type. My question is that should

the prime and tack coats e paid for the full width of road including the sidetriangular areas or without these side triangular areas! Width of each course is

measured at the top surface of that course (Rule M1) and therefore the triangular portionsare excluded for the measurement of that course.

("or road width #.$ m (% shoulder & % lanes' %1m & %$.*'#.$m) at top, which

road width should e taken for prime and tack coats! ack !oat is applied at the topof the "ase !ourse and therefore its #idth should $e measured same as the #idth of "ase

!ourse. %rime coat is applied at the top of the &ggregate Road "ase (if there is no #et'

mix) and its #idth should $e measured as the same #idth as Road "ase. +earing course

is *mm thick, ituminous ase course is -mm and Aggregate road ase is 1*mm

thick eing placed over sugrade! Is there any reference for inclusionexclusion of the

end triangular areas as to su$stantiate it Rule M1 is specifically for this purpose.

Note: It may be noted that I have already browsed through the CESMM3 therefor,

wherefrom I found measurement rule M1 given in CESMM3 (Class ! "" #$% but it is

basi&ally "ertinent to road layers without a mention of 'a& or )rime Coats. *o. It doesnot refer to road layers. It refers to +!ourses+ and the ack !oat and %rime !oat are

!ourses and should $e measured under classification code num$er R- * Is there anyreferen&e whi&h e+"li&itly states the in&lusion of the said &oats in the unit rate of road

layers * hey should $e measured separately and cannot $e expected to $e included inthe rates of the other courses unless specifically stipulated in the %ream$le to the "/0.

%. nlike /0MM$, our pro2ect 3o4 contains separate items for oth of these coats

(M/56 and 51h). 7s this common! In !2MM also there are separate items for

these courses (!oats2prays&pplied surface finishes) as commented a$ove. 7f yes, thenwhere is /0MM$ followed if not in a place like .A.0! !2MM is follo#ed inmany parts of the #orld.

We covered this topic in detail during 2!& 2ession 3 and also did a #orked example.

%lease see the handouts.

7f the 8mission is neither appropriate nor necessary, then it would

amount to de5scoping which would give a right to the /ontractor to

6ear %rof 2am,

%lease provide your valua$le comments on the $elo#,

In a $espoke !ontract $ased on @I6I! 1C3A, su$'clause -.1 is modified as follo#ing,

"Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract, if the Contractor intends to claim

any additional payment pursuant to any Clause in these Conditions or otherwise he shall give notice of his intention to the Employer Representative, with a copy to the Employer, within X days after the event giving rise to the claim has first arisen. If the

Contractor fails to give notice of a claim within such period of X days, the Contractor

shall not be entitled to additional payment and the Employer shall be discharged from all

liability in connection with the claim."

Is the a$ove clause applica$le to variations as #ell and do the !ontractor has to notify the

mployer under this clause his intention to claim additional payment in the re8uired

timeframe even for variations instructed in #riting. If yes, can the mployer on the

grounds that they did not notify the mployer of their intent to seek additional payment

#ithin the time frame (J days), re=ect a variation even though the variation #as re8uired

(i.e. no #ay the mployer could had retracted his instruction) and teh mployer got

$enefited from it.

8/20/2019 Jun 10 Q&A-1

2ince the contract re8uires variations to $e valued and paid (!lause -4 etc), #hether or

not the !ontractor complies #ith 2u$'!lause -.1, variations have to $e valued and paid

for. 9o#ever, if the !ontractor re8uires an additional payment $y #ay of varying an

existing rateprice in valuing such variation andor in respect of any prolongation costs

due to a delay caused $y such variation, then the !ontractor #ould lose his right to claim

such additional payment if he does not comply #ith 2u$'!lause -.1, as discussed during

2!& 2ession H.

&s -.1 >#ithin 43 days !ontractor has to give to the ngineer of his intension of !laim

and as per -.4.. #ithout necessarily admitting mployerPs 7ia$ility, the ngineer shall,on receipt of the notice under 2u$ !lause -.1, inspect such contemporary record and

may instruct the !ontractor to keep any further contemporary records as are reasona$le

and may $e material.

0uestion:

What if the ngineer as per -.4 did not instruct anything nor inspect the record of the

!ontractor nor give determination on the su$mitted notice and claim to the !ontractor for

more than 1 month, #hich caused delay to proceed #ith the variation #ork.

he 8uestion is some#hat confusing. he contemporary records should $e maintained#hilst the !ontractor is proceeding #ith the #ork (#hich has already $een instructed as a

variation) and therefore, the non'inspection $y the ngineer of such records, or further

contemporary records not $eing instructed, or claim not $eing determined cannot cause a

delay to proceed #ith the varied #ork Q If the !ontractor did not commence the varied#ork (or did not complete it) until his claim is determined then the !ontractor is at fault.

Is there any clause in the @I6I! or in any applica$le la# that in such duration thengineer did not provide its confirmation #hether the claim for a ?ariation is accepta$le

or not, the notice of ?ariation is deemed accepted. here is no notice re8uired to value a

variation as #e discussed during 2!& 2ession 1 > ?ariations. *otice is re8uired only toclaim varied ratesprices or to claim prolongation costs if the variation caused a delay.
