O4 BILL of QUANTITIES
Item Description - Describes briefly the work to be executed by the Contractor (the details of work will be described in the Tender Drawing and coverage rule in the Preamble to BQ and the MoM) e.g: Excavate unsuitable material below embankment or below Formation in cuttings as shown in the drawing or as per specification to disposal areas within the R.O.W as approved by the S.O.

Quantities - BQ quantity as a basis for estimating the rate - Final quantity to be remeasured

O7 MEASUREMENT RULE
Sets out the CONDITION under which the Work will be measured and the METHOD by which the Quantities shall be computed in accordance with paragraph 5.17 Section 5: Preparation of the Bill of Quantities 5.17 : All measurement shall be taken nett otherwise stated in the measurement rules of the CESMM. No allowance shall be made for bulking, shrinkages or wastages. Quantities can be rounded where appropriate but common sense must be applied. The total quantity and the effect on its rounding off must be considered. Where unavoidable, fractional quantities should be given to one decimal place only.

Gives the requirement of the work wrt material use & method statement

Unsuitable material shall be excavated to such depth and over such area as directed by the S.O

OVERVIEW CESMM_________________________________________________________________________________________________

O9 CONSTRUCTION DRAWING
indicates shapes & dimension - length - breadth - depth as a basis for the Tenderer to calculate the rates for construction the final dimension will be determined base on actual requirement on site

CLASS E - EARTHWORK

CESMM (UK)

- excavation in stages eg. excavate from 0m to 1.5m depth from 1.5m to 3.0m depth a.s.o - let the Contractor choose the appropriate method of construction - difficulties encountered and loss of productivity associated with increasing depth of excavation to be reflect in the builtup rate - measured whole - item description or drawing should indicate the depth of excavation to facilitate computation of rate by the contractor

CLASS E - EARTHWORK

Rule M1 In accordance with Paragraph 5.17, the quantities of earthwork shall be computed nett using dimension from the Drawings with no allowance for bulking, shrinkages or wastages. Where boundaries between different materials are not shown in the Drawings, measurement shall be made on Site.

BACK ISSUES: Defination for ROCK JKR/SPJ/1988 Specification for Roadworks published by Jabatan Kerja Raya, Malaysia Rock shall mean material found in ledges or masses in its original position which would normally have to be loosened either by blasting or pneumatic tools or, if excavated by hand, by wedges and sledge hammers. It shall NOT include material which can be loosened with a track-type tractor with mounted and drawn ripper of the following description:
Class E Earthwork (CESMM)__________________________________________________________________________

DOZER & RIPPER UNIT

Tractor Unit: Equiptment with a minimum weight of 20 tonnes and nett horse power rating of 200 brake horse power or more. The tractor unit is to be in good condition and operated by experienced personnel skilled in the use of ripping equipment Ripping Unit: The ripper to be attached to the tractor shall be the most efficient parallelogram type recommended by the tractor or ripper manufacturer. The ripper shall have single shank in good working condition with sharpened cutting point.

EARTH (Grade V & VI)

Totally weathered

ROCK (Grade III & IV)

Cracks and fissures, partially weathered Fresh, monolithic, no fractures or cracks

Class E Earthwork (CESMM)____________________________________________________________________________

THE PROBLEM

EARTH (Grade V & VI)

SEDIMENTARY HARD MATERIAL

ROCK (Grade I & II)

Class E Earthwork (CESMM)____________________________________________________________________________

THE PROBLEM
On Site: In between the two extreme material on site (earth and rock) we have HARD MATERIAL

which is not been clearly defined not included in the scope of specification which the Contractor has to excavate but not priced accordingly the current practice, it is usually been paid under normal excavation i.e. excavation in earth

Resulting in: Claim by the Contractor due to low productivity for excavation in natural hard material (get paid for earth excavation instead of excavation in rock)
Class E Earthwork (CESMM)____________________________________________________________________________

THE SOLUTION
REDEFINE ROCK ROCK or ARTIFICIAL HARD MATERIAL shall be material that requires the use of either hydraulic rock breaker, pneumatic tools or explosives. ..(CESMM) DEFINE NATURAL HARD MATERIAL NATURAL HARD MATERIAL shall be material other than ROCK and ARTIFICIAL HARD MATERIAL that requires ripping and other specialised equipment. . (CESMM)

The Contractor gets paid For what he Did

Class E Earthwork (CESMM)__________________________________________________________________________

POINT TO TAKE NOTE

JKR TECHNIAL DIRECTIVE (ARAHAN TEKNIK) has redefine the term COMMON EXCAVATION, HARD MATERIAL and ROCK EXCAVATION (Draft) COMMON EXCAVATION Common Excavation shall mean excavation in any material either than hard material/rock excavation HARD MATERIAL/ROCK EXCAVATION Hard material/rock excavation shall mean excavation in any material that cannot be loosened by an excavator with a minimum mass of 44 tons and a minimum rating of 321 BHP. The excavator shall be in good condition and operated by an experience personnel skilled in the use of excavator equipment.
Class E Earthwork (CESMM)__________________________________________________________________________

POINT TO TAKE NOTE.cont.

HARD MATERIAL/ROCK EXCAVATION shall required one or a combination of the following methods:

Excavation using track excavator exceeding a mass of 44 tones and 321 BHP rating Ripping using a tractor unit of minimum weight of 37 tones and 305 BHP rating and a ripper attached Excavation using pneumatic tools Open blasting Controlled blasting

- Hard Material & Rock will have a common rate -

Class E Earthwork (CESMM)__________________________________________________________________________

COMPROMISE
ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION RULE
Item description for EXCAVATION IN NATURAL HARD MATERIAL and ROCK shall state the method of excavation where appropriate A4

This clause will cater for Designers requirement to dictate the method of construction where specific need prevails

OLD PRACTICE

itemised under Preliminaries description of Bill too general, up to the Contractors imagination in determining the coverage required for the Environmental Protection & Enhancement no indication as to what the work items included under this Class allocated sum is Lump Sum (no detailed breakdown of work given)

e.g.

To carry out environmental protection works according to the existing laws and regulations

Class P Environmental Protection & Enhancement (CESMM)______________________________________________________________

CURRENT PRACTICE

separate Bill for Environmental Protection & Enhancement work items to be indicated item description has to be clear and concise allocated as Provisional Sum or can be subjected to re-measurement of quantities at the end of contract

Class P Environmental Protection & Enhancement (CESMM)______________________________________________________________

ITEMS COVERAGE
7 items coverage:

Appointment of Environmental Officer Preparation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP) Pollution Control Measures Preservation of Flora Preservation of Fauna Environmental Monitoring Programme Environmental Audit
