GENERAL PREAMBLES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF MATERIALS AND

WORKMANSHIP APPLICABLE TO ALL SECTIONS OF THIS SCHEDULE

1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1.1 The items contained within this document are described in such a way as to reflect

its use as a Schedule or Rates for reactive maintenance work and are, therefore, not strictly in accordance with any Standard Method of Measurement.

1.2 Notwithstanding (1.1) the items of work have generally been divided into trade order

and measured on an operational basis so that each rate reflects a complete operation of repair work.

1.3 The Schedule of Rates items are based upon historic data obtained from the

Authority’s records of previous years’ reactive maintenance and, as such, is deemed to represent the type of work likely to be encountered in a typical calendar year.

1.4 In order for the Authority to obtain the most economic rates for work of this nature,

certain operations of work have been sub-divided into varying quantities of work relating to the basic repair operation. The Contractor is to note that the spread of each quantity has been calculated by the Authority to be that giving the greatest economy scale with regard to the nature of the work and the relatively small individual quantitates involved. (see also Clauses 2.1 and 3.9).

The schedule of rates item used to value work completed will be the unit rate that corresponds to the total measured quantity of work undertaken per order.

This principle of measurement and valuation will be applied to measure, value and reimburse all work and shall apply to the use of all schedule rates.

1.5 Where a scheduled operation in this document states or implies an “average”

measurement or operation of work, it is intended that an individual order to carry out such works may involve more or less work than average to be executed, but that the rate shall remain as tendered and the Contractor is to allow in his pricing of each item for the range of work indicated or implied. The final discretion as to whether a variation on any item of work executed has occurred, however, shall lie with the Contact Administrator whose decision shall be final and binding.

1.6 The Contractor shall acquaint himself with the measures described in the booklet

“Winter Building” (published on behalf of the DETR by and obtained from HM Stationary Office) for maintaining continuity of work and productivity during inclement weather. All rates shall be deemed to include taking such measures as are described in this booklet whenever applicable or required and having regard to the nature, scope and programme of the works. Such measures should normally include provision of site lighting, shelter and screens for the protection of workpeople and the works and the protection of materials and plant from the effects of the weather.

2. GENERAL DEFINITIONS

2.1 Where classification is given in this document as being between as being between two limiting dimension and quantities, then the interpretation shall be exceeding the first dimension or quantity and not exceeding the second.

2.2 The references “BS” and “CP” refer to the “British Standards” and “Codes of

Practise” respectively and the appropriate published version current at the time work is carried out will apply. Where, without prejudice to legally binding national rules and insofar as the British Standards and Codes or Practice are compatible with community law this shall include equivalent European Standards, European technical approval and common technical specifications of the EEC in respect of material, safety, reliability, function compatibility with existing construction or installations, availability of compatible accessories and where relevant appearance.

2.3 The standard of “Workmanship” will be deemed to mean the minimum acceptable

standard conforming to the relevant British Standard or Code of Practice. Where, without prejudice to legally binding national rules and insofar as the British Standards and Codes of Practice are compatible with community law this shall include equivalent European Standards, European technical approval and common technical specifications of the EEC.

2.4 The standard of “materials” will be deemed to mean the minimum acceptable

standard appropriate for the specified purpose and conforming to the relevant British Standard and shall meet the requirements of the Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994. Where, without prejudice to legally binding national rules and insofar as the British Standard and Codes of Practice are compatible with community law this shall include also equivalent European Standards, European technical approval and common technical specifications of the EEC.

2.5 The term “Manufacturer” or “Supplier” will be deemed to mean the firm under whose

name the particular product is marketed or its equivalent. The term “Reference” means the proprietary brand name or its equivalent and/or reference by which the particular product is identified. Materials and goods are used or fixed strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions printed or in writing and current at the date of supply. In the Contract in order to identify a particular style or quality or material trades names have been used but in all cases an equivalent will be acceptable (See also 2.6)

2.6 Where the terms “similar”, “equivalent”, “equal and approved”, “other approved” and

“or the like” have been used, they shall be deemed to mean that materials of different manufactures but of the same quality and standard may be substituted if prior approval has been obtained from the Contract Administrator. The rates or prices, however, will be deemed to be the same as for the material or materials specified within the Schedule of Rates. The Contractor may substitute materials of a higher quality but at no additional cost to the Council.

2.7 Where the term “pre-exposed” has been used in an operation, it shall be deemed to

mean that an item of work has been measured elsewhere in the Schedule for exposing the item, work or material under consideration and both items shall be regarded as one operation for the purposes of complying with an order to carry out work issued by the Contract Administrator.

2.8 Where the term “standard” has been used in relation to a material or commodity, the

rate against the item shall be deemed to include for all standard size material or commodity under consideration.

3

2.9 The following measurement terms shall apply:-

Lm - Linear Metre m² - Metre squared m³ - Metre cubed Item - Carrying out all the work described in the operation irrespective of the quantity. No/ - Per primary unit of work e.g. per tile, per brick

2.10 With the exception of wall tiles which when “m²” shall be measured to the nearest “0.10m²”, where a “fraction” of a quantity shall apply to any completed work the Contractor shall measure and invoice to the nearest “0.5”, for “Lm” or “m²” and to the nearest “0.10” for M³. “Items” “each” or “No” shall be as the actual number used or pro-rata to the quantity of work actually undertaken except to the extent that when the schedule of rates description specifically details an average range of measurements the “item”, “each” or “No” shall be measured and reimbursed in full.

3.7 The workability of any concrete shall not exceed 50 mm slump in accordance with

the BS and shall be such that it can be readily worked around any obstructions or the like without segregation.

3.8 Concrete shall be well tamped thoroughly worked into all corners and around all

obstructions and solidly compacted: surface treatment shall be by means of a steel trowel or wood float or as otherwise specified in the Schedule.

3.9 Compaction, whether by hand or by mechanical vibration, is to continue until a dense

homogenous mass, free from voids is obtained and which on striking the formwork presents a face free from honeycombing, cracks or excessive dusting. Any concrete which is honeycombed or otherwise unsatisfactory is to be cut out and re-executed or otherwise remedied to the satisfaction of the Contract Administrator.

3.10 Ready-Mix concrete shall not be used without the prior written consent of the

Contract Administrator and all mechanical mixing of concrete shall be by an approved batch mixer, which should ensure a uniform distribution of material throughout the mass and is also capable of discharging the mixture without segregation. The mixing of concrete on site should comply with the BS.

3.11 Hand mixing will only be permitted for small items of concrete and is to be done on a

watertight platform with edging boards in such a manner as to ensure uniform distribution of materials throughout the mass. Mixing is to continue until a homogenous mixture is obtained.

there is a likelihood of frost or cold wind, concreting will not be permitted except at the entire risk of the Contractor, who will take all necessary and adequate precautions as referred to under “Winter Building” in the General Preamble, to protect the new concrete and that recently laid from damage.

3.17 Precautions against freezing shall be such as to ensure that the concrete at no time

during mixing, depositing and setting is at a temperature of or below 5ºC.

3.18 When concreting takes place after frost, aggregates must be adequately thawed out and warmed, and the mixers and other plant free from ice and frost.

3.19 Periods of frost shall be entirely disregarded in computing the age of concrete for

striking of formwork.

3.20 All formwork is to be supplied and designed by the Contractor and shall be deemed to be included in the rates of any concrete work.

3.21 All formwork is to be constructed so as to safely support the concrete in its fluid state

and construction loads without appreciable movement or defection. It is to be sufficiently tight to present loss of liquid cement from the concrete and so constructed that it can be removed without undue vibration or shock. Where formwork is supported from existing parts of the structure it is to be so arranged to form a solid bed. Immediately before the concrete is placed, all formwork is to be cleaned thoroughly and all rubbish, chippings, shavings and sawdust are to be well wetted or treated with a composition approved by the Contract Administrator. Retarding or accelerating liquids are to be used only where specifically approved.

3.22 All formwork is to be removed without undue vibration or shock and without damage

to the concrete, proper precautions being taken to allow for the decrease in rate of hardening that occurs in all cements in cold weather.

3.23 The price of all items of formwork included in the rates is to include for all splayed

edges, notchings allowances for overlaps and passings at angles, battens, strutting, bolting, wedging, casing, striking and removing.

3.24 The description “wrought formwork” shall mean formwork so constructed as to give

true profiles and arises to the concrete members and shall be deemed to include for all necessary rubbing down with carborundum to remove board marks, ridges, etc and all necessary stopping off of air holes etc, whilst the concrete is still new to give a true and perfect face, and the rates shall be deemed to allow for this accordingly.

3.25 Expansion joints shall be formed where necessary or as directed by the Contract

Administrator using “Flexcell” or similar approved materials.

3.26 Bar reinforcement shall conform to the BS 4449. Fabric reinforcement shall comply with BS.

11

4. SCOPE OF THE WORK The Contractor should note that individuals works identified in advance as being above the highest quantity shown in any band in this section of the schedule will be deemed not to be reactive maintenance work and as such would not normally be ordered under the scope of this contract, except at the discretion of the Contract Administrator. (The Contractor may, however, be required to provide a quotation for such larger scale work on an individual order basis and such work will be treated as a variation order).

SCHEDULE OF RATES

SECTION 9

GLAZING

81

GLAZING

1. GENERALLY 1.1 The Contractor is to note that where glass is to be removed it shall be carried out so

as to cause the minimum amount of damage to surrounding frames, adjoining glass or the like, which shall be adequately protected. Damage arising from failure to observe this clause shall be made good at the Contractor’s own expense to the satisfaction of the Contract Administrator.

1.2 Material resembling glass have been included in this section and shall be deemed to be “glazing” for the purpose of this contract.

1.3 All rates contained within the “glazing” section of the schedule are deemed to include for the cost of working at whatever height or location may be ordered and for some provision, erection and removal of all necessary scaffolding, towers, platforms, ladders, roofing ladders or the like that may be required to execute the works up to second storey eaves level and associated roofs.

1.4 Where applicable the rates for glazing are deemed to include for the removal of existing glass, pre-measurement, all cutting, preparation, cleaning and knotting or priming rebates, bedding and fixing, finishing and cleaning on completion to remove all broken glass fragments however small.

1.5 Wherever possible glass shall be cut to size on an approved glass cutting table at other relevant clauses contained in this schedule, the Contractor is to ensure that at all times whilst glazing work is in progress, members of the public are properly protected and kept informed of situations where a danger may arise. At the cessation of all work howsoever caused the Contractor is to completely clear all working areas of fragments of glass however small, by means of an industrial vacuum cleaner if required and leave safe to the satisfaction of the Contract Administrator.

2. GLASS OR THE LIKE 2.1 All glass shall be the best of its respective kind free from bubbles, air holes and other

defects and shall conform where applicable to the appropriate British Standards. Toughened and laminated glass shall be to BS and permanently marked as such in an approved manner.

2.2 The minimum thickness of glass to be fixed in windows and doors shall be 6mm toughened or laminated. In all cases panes of glass or the like are to be in one piece and are to be cut and fitted with due allowance for expansion. The unit of measurement of glass is “per pane”.

2.3 Where applicable the rates for wired or other pattern glass are deemed to include for alignment of wires or patterns to adjacent panes.

82

the nature of the breakage or repair and the safety and welfare of the public and/or the security of the premises.

3.3 Where an order is specifically issued to “make safe” broken glass or where in the opinion of the operative on arriving at the location to which an order refers, the breakage or repair is such so as to immediately threaten the safety or welfare of the public and/or the security of the premises, or for reasons beyond the control of the Contractor the repair cannot be completed in one operation as defined above, the broken glass shall be made safe and the pane or opening as appropriate boarded up. The boarding shall be securely fixed and shall be the minimum necessary to secure the premises. Operatives responding to orders to “make safe” glazing shall at all times have sufficient materials available to “board up” on the first occasion that they visit the location to which an order refers.

3.4 If in the opinion of the Contract Administrator the Contractor is “band up” a glazed area that ought to have been re-glazed in one operation as defined above; which for the avoid of doubt shall specifically include boarding up necessitated by the Contractor’s failure to maintain adequate stocks or supplies of glass or glazing materials or for any other matter reasonably within the Contractor’s control; the Council will not reimburse the Contractor for the cost of boarding up which shall be deemed to have been undertaken for the Contractor’s convenience and at his own expense.

3.5 Putty for glazing to timber shall be linseed oil putty to the appropriate British Standard.

DESCRIPTION OF WORKS AND SCHEDULE OF RATES

SECTION 10 PAINTING AND DECORATING

87

PAINTING AND DECORATING

1. GENERALLY

1.1 The Contractor is to note that the work within this section will often occur as a

consequence of other repair operations and as such the rates shall be deemed to

include for the liaison between trades where applicable.

1.2 All rates contained within this section of the schedule are deemed to include for the

cost of working at whatever height or location may be ordered and for the provision,

erection and removal of all necessary scaffolding, towers, platforms, ladders or the

like that may be required to execute the works.

1.3 All rates contained within this section of the schedule for internal work, (i.e. work

within a building structure), are deemed to include for the cost of all necessary

ladders, step ladders, tressles, boards or the like necessary to undertake the work in

accordance with health and safety regulations.

1.4 The Contractor’s attention is particularly drawn to the fact that in anticipation of the

varying degrees of surface preparation that are likely to be encountered on surfaces

of an identical nature, generally all painting and the like has been divided into

separate operations of preparatory work and separate operations for each individual

coat of paint. As a consequence an order from the Contract Administrator to carry out

painting or the like will state:

a) The item(s) to be painted and their location.

b) The particular preparatory operation required.

c) Details of all coats required, including their respective colours.

No painting whatsoever is to be carried out (unless otherwise described as part of an operation of work elsewhere within this schedule – for example, priming timber) unless the prior approval of the Contract Administrator has been received.

1.5 Where the term “girth” is used it shall be deemed to mean the total girth of all adjoining like items to be painted. Where applicable wok has been divided into surfaces not exceeding 300mm girth and surfaces over 300mm girth.

1.6 “Surfaces” shall be deemed to mean and shall be measure as the area covered and

where applicable allowances made to measurement (unless otherwise stated herein) for the extra girth of edges, mouldings, panels, sinking’s, corrugations, flutings, carvings, enrichments and the like.

1.7 The Contractor is to note that internal operations of painting on woodwork shall be

deemed to include for working on all items of joinery, frames, linings, skirting’s, dado rails, wall mouldings, capping’s, margins, doors and other timer surfaces excluding windows or associated work and that cutting in edges on flush surfaces and work to butts and fastenings shall be deemed to be included where applicable.

1.8 For the purposes of this Contract glazed doors shall be deemed to be as flush doors

and the surface area shall be measured each size over all glass and the additional surface area of painting measured over glazing shall be deemed to cover the additional cost of cutting in next to glass and working over glazing beads or the like irrespective of the pane size.

88

1.9 Windows or glazed screens shall be measured each side (i.e. internally and externally) as an overall superficial area, over frames, linings, mullions, transoms, sills and glass (irrespective of pane size. Cutting in next to glass or weather stripping and work on glazing beads, butts and fastenings shall be deemed to be included. Work on edges of opening casements shall be deemed to be included within the rate for external painting to windows.

1.10 Work on gutters, downpipes or the like externally shall be deemed to be measured as

the surfaces to be painted defined by girth (see Clause 1.5 above). Work to brackets, fittings and the like shall be deemed to be included within the girth measurement. The Contractor is to note that no distinction is made between previously painted timber or metal surfaces in work externally.

1.11 Work to pipes or the like shall be classified and measured by girth (see Clause 1.5

above) and the rates shall be deemed to include for work to all fittings, joints, clips, brackets or the like.

1.12 Where the Contractor is instructed to execute decoration work on a member, surface

or item that is found to be, or he considers being, unsound or unfitting to receive decoration without prior repair work, he shall inform the Contract Administrator immediately and await his instructions.

1.13 Where applicable all ironmongery or the like shall be removed throughout any

decorating work and subsequently re-fixed and all rates shall be deemed to include for this provision. (Face plates to cylinder locks) or the like are not to be painted).

1.14 Work on each side of close-type fencings and gates (grouped together) shall be

measured net overall. Each side of ornamental railings, gates, louvered window openings and the like shall be measured overall regardless of voids.

1.15 Notwithstanding any of the relevant clauses contained within these documents

appertaining to the cleaning of work ore removal of debris, on completion or at each cessation of the work the Contractor is to clean all glass and the like of paint spots or runs to the satisfaction of the Contract Administrator. In addition, the Contractor is to remove from site all empty tins or the like a surplus paint which under no circumstances shall be poured into drainage systems.

1.16 The Contractor’s attention is particularly drawn to the need to adequately protect the

surrounding environment during painting and decorating work and at all times to erect adequate signs and to inform the public of surfaces that are “wet”. The Contractor shall allow in his rates for the protection of all fittings, the provisions of dust sheets and the removal and replacement of all items to facilitate decorating work.

2. PAINTING AND DECORATING

2.1 The whole of the paint or the like materials in this contract shall be to the appropriate British Standard and where applicable all materials are to be obtained from either ICI –Dulux, Crown Decorative Products Ltd or other approved supplier and shall be used strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Low odour, water based paint shall be used on all internal surfaces.

2.2 The colour of all paint or the like to be used shall be as specified on each particular

89

2.3 All painting is to be executed in an approved manner by brush or roller to the appropriate sections of the BS. Spray painting will not be permitted without the approval of the Contract Administrator.

2.4 All woodwork is to be well rubbed down with fine abrasive paper before each coat or as otherwise described. All surfaces are to be clean dry and free from moisture, oil or grease and precautions shall be taken to prevent dust settling on any finished work. Painting shall not be carried out in the vicinity of other trade operations which might cause dust or otherwise damage the work. All work shall be touched up on completion as required by the Contract Administrator at no extra cost.

2.5 No painting on exterior work shall be executed in wet, damp, frosty or foggy weather (or upon surfaces that are not thoroughly dry or clean).

2.6 Each coat is to be completed over the whole of the work before the next coat is proceeded with including any additional stopping and rubbing down that may be necessary and at least 24 hours shall elapse between the finishing of one coat and the commencement of the next. Where two undercoats are required by an order, the Contractor shall use either a dark or light grey for the first coats (to suit the final tint) and the second coat shall be as recommended by the manufacturer (see Clause 2.2 above)

2.7 Knotting shall be best quality patent knotting to BS and primer shall conform to the British Standard appropriate to the surface of the next and to reject any work that is unsatisfactory for whatever reason which shall be removed and put right at the Contractor’s own expense.

2.8 blank
