components, towers shall be neatly placed and arranged
inside an open top returnable steel container. This will
prevent towers and its components from any losses due
to pilferage and/or being misplaced during transhipment,
loading and unloading at the port of entry and
transporting to its final destination. The steel container
shall be returned back to the port of shipment by the
Contractor at no extra cost to the Employer. Cost of this
work to be done by the Contractor should be included in
the bid price of towers and its components.
Spares and Spare Parts
The Contractor shall provide spare towers for the Project.
It is understood that these spares will be used only by the
Employer incase of damage or failure outside the
warranty period. The Contractor therefore is obliged to
provide sufficient quantities as replacement for failures
during construction and the duration of the warranty
period. Spare steel towers are to be part of the supply as
indicated in the Schedule of Quantities.
Tools
No particular tools would be required for the supply of
Steel Towers
