CESM
ClVlL ENGINEERING STANDARD METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
THIRD EDITION

European Procurement Law

Recent developments ln European Law have led the Standing Revlew Committee on CESMM to consider careNly whether any changes are necessary to CESMM2 in order that it may continue to be used for contracts awarded by public authorities within the United Khgdom. . .
<

"

The problem arises from a decision of the European Court in the Irish Case I C o ~ s i o of n the European Communities (supportedby the Khgdom of Spaln. Intervenor)]v Ireland. Building Law Reports. volume 44. P I. In this Case the Court declared that a spedflcatton which called for mate* to comply with an Irish Standard was fflegal. ?he Court ruled that this was contrary to ArUcle 30 of the Treaty of Rome and that the spedflcation should have called for the materials to be to the Irlsh Standard'or equivalent' Thls decision only affects contracts let by Government Agencies and Local Authorities at the present Ume. Howww, these contracts represent a substantial propomon of the UK cML engineering workload and the c w h e wlll extend further If the present draR Excluded Sectors DirecUve Is Implemented. Strictly speaktng. CESMM does not specify what materials are to be used in cM1 englneerlng works. It only prescribes how thatwhich has been speclfled Is to be measured. In the opMon of the committee it follows that. generally. compllers of BUls of Quantities can conttnue to use CESMM without any f f l compuers wish to amendment. ?he committee adopts the view that. If B speclfy BS components (such as relnforclng steel]. they should use the CESMM code number and descrfption for that item. Howeyer, If they arc now prohlblted from so specifying they could adopt a more general description of the component and use an appropriate code number which would. in effect. requlre the use of the so-called 3 items'. The consequence of the above approach is that many Bills of uantitfes would then cease to have standard numbering and item descriptions for a large amount of their content. particularly reinforcement and plpework. and one of the major obJectlves of CESMM would thus be undermined.
A more pragmatic approach. therefore, may be for compuers of BUS of Quantities to include in their Preamble a statement to the &ect that:-

Any reference to BriUsh Standards appearing withirrthese Bills of Quantities shall be deemed to be foilowed by the worda 'or equivalent'. Provldlng that this is done. it should permit Bffl compllers to conUnue to use the standard item numbers and descriptions set out in CESMM wen where those contain a reference to a British Standard. It may also be prudent for a similar statement to appear somewhere within the speciacation but that i sa matter to be addressed in thedrafling of the speclflcation.

PREFACE
The Cjvd Eng~neermg Standard Method of Measurement, t h ~ r d edit~on (CESMM3). has been approved by the sponsors--the lnst~tut~on of CIVII Engmeers and the Federat~on of Clvd Eng~neenng Contractors--for use in works of clvll englneerlng construction T h ~ s th~rd edtt~on supersedes the second e d ~ t ~ o publ~shed n In 1985. Reference to CESMM3 in the Appendlx to the Form of Tender, as prov~ded for by of Contract, s ~ x t h ed~t~o (January n 1991) IS sufflclause 57 of the ICE Cond~t~ons clent to glve effect to the use of thls standard method of measurement for a part~cular contract CESMM3 may be used w ~ t h other cond~t~ons of contract such as the ICE Cond~t~on of s Contract for Ground lnvest~gat~on and the ICE Condit~onsof Contract for Minor Works. When other cond~t~ons of contract are used, paragraph 1.2 and clause numbers referred to in CESMM3 should be amended by a statement in the Preamble In accordance w ~ t h paragraph 5 4 The Committee under whose gu~dance CESMM3 has been prepared wlil keep the use of the document under revlew and cons~der any suggestions for amendment. These should be addressed to The Secretary, The lnstltut~onof Civd Engmeers. 1-7 Great George Street, London SWlP 3AA Revwon of the document will be made when such actton seems warranted

In 1964 the Councll of the lnstltutlon of Clvd Engmeers set up a Committee underthe Cha~rmansh~p of T A. L. (now SirAngus) Paton, CMG, BSc(Eng).

In 1971 the workof revcslon was undertaken by Martm Barnes, PhD, BSc(Eng), MICE, who worked tn~t~ally under an agreement w ~ t h the Un~vers~ty of Manchester lnst~tute of Sc~ence and Technology and, after he left the Unwers~ty in 1972, under a d~rect agreement w ~ t h the lnst~tut~on of C~vdEngmeers A Steermg Commmee was appomted by the Councd of the lnstltutlon of Clvd Engmeers to supervtse the work The Steer~ng Comm~ttee was enlarged in 1972 by the appotntment of an addit~onal representatwe from each of the lnst~tut~on of Ctvd Engmeers, the Assoc~at~on of Consultmg Engmeers and the Federat~onof Civd Engmeermg Contractors.

Many organlzatlons contr~butedcomments and suggesttons for amendment o the document and others pan~c~pated by revlewmg drafts and glvlnl adv~ce. The Review Committee 1 s Indebted to the many people who helped in t h ~ way, and part~cularlyto the Federation of C~vdEng~neer~ng Contractors whi appo;nt2?d a comm~ttee to revnew and comment upon the drafts.
I The object of the amendments made in the second e d ~ t ~ o was n twofold F~rstly was'to take account of developments in c w ~ engmeermg l technology and in th s~gn~ficance of d~fferent costs of c w l englneermg work wh~ch have taken place sinc the first e d ~ t ~ o was n publ~shed. Secondly t t was to take the upportuntty of alterm the wording of the small number of provlslons of the first edmon whlch experlenc had shown were not workmg e~ther as smoothly as they mtght or in the way whic had been intended. The second ed~tton of the CESMM is consequently not a radw departure from the first ed~tion, but an update and general overhaul

The two most not~ceablechanges are the categortzatlon and upgradmg of tt. former notes in the work class~ficatlon and the mtroduct~on of a standard method r measurement for sewer renovatlon work The rearrangement of the former note IS intended to make the document easker to use in two ways Firstly, the notes ha\ been re-named rules in order to emphas~ze that the~r provwons govern how wo of quantltles and th should be described and measured in c w l englneenng b ~ l l s they have equal status w ~ t h rules in any other part of the document Secondly, the the four separate functions wh11 have been d~vided Into four categories to md~cate they perform and have, as far as possible, been l a ~ d out alongside the parts of tt class~fication tables to wh~ch they relate The sectson for measurement of sewer renovatlon work has been ~ntroduced order to prowde for the cons~derably~ncreased volume of work of t h ~ s type nc bemg undertaken The method of measurement for sewer renovatlon In t t document is based upon that devlsed origmally for the Water Research Centre at lncluded in thew standard spec~flcat~onThe lnstrtut~on of C~vil Engmeers and t ' Federat~on of Civd Engmeermg Contractors acknowledge the assistance glven the Water Research Centre in allowmg t h ~ s method of measurement to be embod~ In the CESMM

Althpugh ; h e second kdit~onof the C ~ v dEngmeermg Standard Method of Measurement was publrshed in T985, a number of factors have combmed to cause the need for a t h ~ r d edit~on.The maln changes incorporated in the thwd edrt~on(CESMM31 are amendments to enable its use w ~ t h the ICE Conditions of 1 9 9 1 ) .and the ~ntroduct~on of a standard method Contract. s ~ x t h ed~t~o (January n of measurement for water mam renovatlon and for simple burld~ng works ~nc~dental to cwil engmeerlng works (classes Y and Z) Account has also been l technology and the opportunity taken to take of developments in c ~ v iengineering make minor amendments and correctrons to the text of the second edrt~onThere are no changes in princ~ple or in the general arrangement.
