Procurement routes

1. Traditional system

c. Client is responsible for the
management of the contract

2. Turnkey contract

-The client is responsible for the


preparation of their work
specification/statement of requirement
-The client does not retain an engineer
during the construction
-The clients role is limited to
inspection , payment and ensuring the
successful completion of the work.

3. The design and build

The contract is responsible for


both construction design and
construction
The client should have an
engineer who protect the interest
of the client

4. Construction management and managing contract

The contract pricing

which contract is calculated
Lump sum
Remeasurement/bill of quantity
and
Cost reimbursement(cost plus)

Lump sum

It provides the maximum
incentives to the contractor to
complete the work on time
It reduces to minimum the amount
of administration involved after
contract agreement

10

Conditions related to lump sum


method
The ground condition on the site
Material quantity and specification
number of labors and labor hours
Descriptions and quantities of boughtout
items
Types of constructional plant which will
be
required and for what periods
Time required by the designers
11

Conditions related to lump


sum method continued
The site organization and facilities and
which will be required and for how long.
Factors which will affect the site
productivity
Geographical and climatic factors as
they affect site work
Access to site
Local availability of material and labor
NB: The contractor should give similar
information to the subcontractors
12

Bill of quantity
It involve in estimation of quantity,
cost of the materials, labor, supervision
and plant which will be required to
execute the work.
It is commonly used in building and
engineering contracts

13

Cost reimbursement
In Cost reimbursement contract (cost
plus contract), the contractor is
reimbursed the actual cost they incur.
It can be used where the scope of the
work to be carried out can not be
properly defined at the beginning and
the risk associated with the works are
high (repair/rehabilitation). This is a high
form of contracting for the client as the
final cost is not known when the

the tender list to large firms possessing
the resources to finance the contract.

have to inflate their tender prices by
financing charges.
It gives encouragement to and allow the
employer to take advantage of firms
possessing technical initiatives who

Advantage of terms of
payment continued

being saddled with a contractor who
has insufficient cash with which to
carry out the contract and of having
therefore to either support the
contractor financially or terminate
the contract.

16

Delay in payment
After issue of completion certificate by
the architect or engineer, there is no
excuse for delay
Late payment is breach of contract
Many contract charge interest on
client of being delay of payment
If payment is delayed after notice from
the contractor for more than a specified
period, the contract has right to
suspend the work or terminate the
contract
17

Advance payment
It is recommended to avoid advance
payment

18

Retention money
With contracts for building and civil
engineering works, it is usual for the
purchaser to retain a proportion of the
contract price until the work has been
completed.
This percentage varies but is usually
between 10 per cent and 20 per cent.
