Preface In this edition, we have continued to review and revise the book in a number of areas, in particular with the continuation of our review of the plant resources section in part 3 including a re-alignment with the CECA Daywork Categories, changes within the labour resources section including the new method of dealing with Holiday Pay/Benefits and a fundamental review of the Highways costs section in part 11. In addition to this, we have carried out a general review and revision of all prices up to May/June 2000 in consultation with leading manufacturers, suppliers and specialist contractors. Effort has continued to be directed at reviewing, revising and expanding the scope, range and detail of information to help enable the reader to compare or adjust any unit costs with reference to allocated resources or outputs The rates, prices and outputs included in the Resources and Unit Cost calculations, including allowances for wastage, normal productivity and efficiency, are based on medium sized Civil Engineering schemes of about £8 million in value, with no acute access or ground condition problems. However they are equally applicable to a wide range of construction projects from £½ million to £50 million with little or no adjustment. Where it has been felt to be suitable, detailed tables of multipliers have been provided to enable easy adjustment to outputs or costs for varying work conditions. As with all attempts to provide price guidance on a general basis, this must be loaded with caveats. In applying the rates to any specific project, the user must take into account the general nature of the project, i.e. matters such as scale, site difficulties, locale, tender climate etc.. This book aims at providing as much information as possible about the nature of the rate so as to assist the user to adapt it if necessary. The essential principle remains that this edition continues to provide the reader with cost guidance at a number of levels, varying from the more general functional costs shown in part 11 and part 6, through the detailed unit costs in Parts 4 and 5 which relate respectively to the CESMM3 and the Highways Method of Measurement bills of quantities formats, down to the detailed resource costings given in part 2 supplemented by the further advice on output factors in part 12. The Unit Costs sections (Parts 4, 5 and 6) cover a wide range of items and, where appropriate, notes are included detailing assumptions on composition of labour gang, plant resources and materials waste factors. part 3 of the book (Resources) includes detailed analysis of labour and plant costs, so allowing the user to adjust the unit costs to his individual requirements by the substitution of alternative labour, materials or plant costs. Unit Costs are obviously dependent upon the outputs or man-hours used to calculate them. The outputs used in this work have been compiled in detail from the editors’ wide ranging experience and are based almost exclusively on time and motion studies and records derived from a large number of recent Civil Engineering schemes. This data is constantly being reappraised to ensure it is consistent with the practices of the day. A number of prices and outputs are based upon detailed specialist advice and acknowledgements to the main contributors are included on page xviiii.

The market could change very rapidly and to monitor this and maintain accuracy levels readers should use the free price book update service which will advise of any significant changes to the published information over the period covered by this edition. The Update is circulated free every three months until the publication of the next annual Price Book to those readers who have registered with the publishers; in order to do so readers should complete and return the coloured card bound within this volume. Whilst all efforts are made to ensure the accuracy of the data and information used in the book neither the editors nor the publishers can in any way accept liability for loss of any kind resulting from the use made by any person of such information.

Land Remediation Statutory framework July 1999 saw the introduction of new contaminated land provisions, contained in part lla of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. A primary objective of the measures is to encourage the recycling of brownfield land. Under the Act action to remediate land is required only where there are unacceptable actual or potential risks to health or the environment. Sites that have been polluted from previous land use may not need remediating until the land use is changed. In addition, it may be necessary to take action only where there are appropriate, cost-effective remediation processes that take the use of the site into account. The Environmental Act 1995 amended the Environment Protection Act 1990 by introducing a new regime designed to deal with the remediation of sites which have been seriously contaminated by historic activities. The regime became operational on 1 April 2000. Local authorities and/or the Environment Agency will regulate seriously contaminated sites which will be known as “special sites”. The risks involved in the purchase of potentially contaminated sites is high, particularly considering that a transaction can result in the transfer of liability for historic contamination from the vendor to the purchaser. The contaminated land provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 are only one element of a series of statutory measures dealing with pollution and land remediation that are to be introduced this year. Others include: □ groundwater regulations, including pollution prevention measures □ an integrated prevention and control regime for pollution □ selections of the Water Resources Act 1991, which deals with works notices for site controls, restoration and clean up. The contaminated land measures incorporate statutory guidance on the inspection, definition, remediation, apportionment of liabilities and recovery of costs of remediation. The measures are to be applied in accordance with the following criteria: □ a the standard of remediation should relate to the present use □ the costs of remediation should be reasonable in relation to the seriousness of the potential harm □ the proposals should be practical in relation to the availability of remediation technology, impact of site constraints and the effectiveness of the proposed clean-up method. Liability for the costs of remediation rests with either the party that “caused or knowingly permitted” contamination, or with the current owners or occupiers of the land. Apportionment of liability, where shared, is determined by the local authority. Although owners or occupiers become liable only if the polluter cannot be identified, the liability for contamination is commonly passed on when land is sold.

The ability to forecast the extent and cost of remedial measures is essential for both parties, so that they can be accurately reflected in the price of the land. If neither the polluter nor owner can be found, the clean-up is funded from public resources. Land remediation techniques There are two principal approaches to remediation—dealing with the contamination in situ or off site. The selection of the approach will be influenced by factors such as: initial and long term cost, timeframe for remediation, types of contamination present, depth and distribution of contamination, the existing and planned topography, adjacent land uses, patterns of surface drainage, the location of existing on-site services, depth of excavation necessary for foundations and below-ground services, environmental impact and safety, prospects for future changes in land use and long-term monitoring and maintenance of in situ treatment. In situ techniques A range of in situ techniques is available for dealing with contaminants, including: □ Dilution—the reduction of the concentrations of contaminants to below trigger levels by on-site mixing with cleaner material. □ Clean cover—a layer of clean soil is used to segregate contamination from receptor. This technique is best suited to sites with widely dispersed contamination. Costs will vary according to the need for barrier layers to prevent migration of the contaminant. □ On-site encapsulation—the physical containment of contaminants using barriers such as slurry trench cut-off walls. The cost of on-site encapsulation varies in relation to the type and extent of barriers required, the costs of which range from £35/m2 to more than £100/m2. There are also in situ techniques for treating more specific contaminants, including: □ Bio-remediation—for removal of oily, organic contaminants through natural digestion by micro- organisms. The process is slow, taking from one to three years, and is particularly effective for the long-term improvement of a site, prior to a change of use. □ Soil washing—involving the separation of a contaminated soil fraction or oily residue through a washing process. The dewatered contaminant still requires disposal to landfill. In order to be cost effective, 70–90% of soil mass needs to be recovered. □ Vacuum extraction—involving the extraction of liquid and gas contaminants from soil by vacuum. □ Thermal treatment—the incineration of contaminated soils on site. The uncontaminated soil residue can be recycled. By-products of incineration can create air pollution and exhaust air treatment may be necessary. □ Stabilisation—cement or lime, is used to physically or chemically bound oily or metal contaminants to prevent leaching or migration. Stabilisation can be used in both in situ and off-site locations.

Off-site techniques Removal is the most common and cost-effective approach to remediation in the UK, providing a broad spectrum solution by dealing with all contaminants. Removal is suited to sites where sources of contamination can be easily identified. If used in combination with material-handling techniques such as soil washing, the volume of material disposed at landfill sites can be significantly reduced. The disadvantages of the technique include the fact that the contamination is not destroyed, there are risks of pollution during excavation and transfer; road haulage may also cause a local nuisance. Cost drivers Cost drivers relate to the selected remediation technique, site conditions and the size and location of a project. The wide variation of indicative costs of land remediation techniques shown below is largely because of differing site conditions.

Factors that need to be considered include: □ waste classification of the material □ underground obstructions, pockets of contamination and live services □ ground water flows and the requirement for barriers to prevent the migration of contaminants □ health and safety requirements and environmental protection measures □ location, ownership and land use of adjoining sites □ distance from landfill tips, capacity of the tip to accept contaminated materials, and transport restrictions Other project related variables include size, access to disposal sites and tipping charges; the interaction of these factors can have a substantial impact on overall unit rates. The table below sets out the costs of remediation using dig-and-dump methods for different sizes of project. Variation in site establishment and disposal cost accounts for 60–70% of the range in cost.

The strict health and safety requirements of remediation can push up the overall costs of site organisation to as much as 50% of the overall project cost. A high proportion of these costs are fixed and, as a result, the unit costs of site organisation increase disproportionally on smaller projects. Haulage costs are largely determined by the distances to a licensed tip. Current average haulage rates, based on a return journey range from £1.30 to £1.75 a mile. Short journeys to tips, which involve proportionally longer standing times, typically incur higher mileage rates. A further source of cost variation relates to tipping charges. The table below summarises typical tipping charges for 2000, exclusive of landfill tax: Typical 2000 tipping charges (excluding landfill tax) Waste classification Changes (£/tonne) Non-hazardous wastes Hazardous wastes Special waste Contaminated liquid Contaminated sludge

5–10 10–20 12–25 12–35 35–45

Tipping charges fluctuate in relation to the grades of material a tip can accept at any point in time. This fluctuation is a further source of cost risk. Over the past two years, prices at licensed tips have varied by as much as 50%. In addition, a special waste regulation charge of £15 per load, equivalent to 80 p a tonne, is also payable. Landfill tax, currently charged at £11 a tonne for active waste, is also payable, although exemptions are currently available for the disposal of historically contaminated material.

The Landfill Tax The Tax The Landfill Tax came into operation on 1 October 1996. It is levied on operators of licensed landfill sites at the following rates: □ £2 per tonne □ £11 per tonne

- Inactive or inert wastes. Included are soil, stones, brick, plain and reinforced concrete, plaster and glass (refer to page 602 for a fuller list), - All other taxable wastes. Included are timber, paint and other organic wastes generally found in demolition work, builders skips etc..

From April 2000 the rate of £10 per tonne for “all other taxable wastes” was increased to £11 per tonne, whilst the rate for “inactive or inert wastes” remained at £2 per tonne. It is intended to raise the standard rate of landfill tax for “all other taxable wastes” in future years by an additional £1 per tonne each year. These increases will take place at least until 2004 when the standard rate will become £15 per tonne. Mixtures containing wastes not classified as inactive or inert will not qualify for the lower rate of tax unless the amount of non-qualifying material is small and there is no potential for pollution. Water can be ignored and the weight discounted. Calculating the Weight of Waste There are two options: □ If licensed sites have a weighbridge, tax will be levied on the actual weight of waste. □ If licensed sites do not have a weighbridge, tax will be levied on the permitted weight of the lorry based on an alternative method of calculation based on volume to weight factors for various categories of waste. Effect on Prices The tax is paid by Landfill site operators only. Tiping charges reflect this additional cost. Apart from the possible incidence of Landfill Tax, the cost of disposal will generally comprise the haulage cost plus a tipping charge which will vary according to the toxicity of the material. Example figures are shown on page 169. Exemptions The following disposals are exempt from Landfill Tax: □ dredgings which arise from the maintenance of inland waterways and harbours, □ naturally occurring materials arising from mining or quarrying operations,

□ waste resulting from the cleaning up of historically contaminated land (although to obtain and exemption it is first necessary to obtain a contaminated land certificate from Customs and Excise), □ waste removed from one site to be used on another or to be recycled or incinerated. An additional exemption was introduced from 1st October 1999 for inert waste used to restore landfill sites and to fill working and old quarries with a planning condition or obligation in existence to fill the void.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

2

PURPOSE AND CONTENT OF THE BOOK For many years the Editors have compiled a price book for use in the building industry with, more recently, companion volumes for use in connection with engineering services contracts and landscaping work. All of these price books take their reliability from the established practice within these sectors of the construction industry of pricing work by the application of unit rates to quantities measured from the designer’s drawings. This practice is valid because most building work can be carried out under similar circumstances regardless of site location; a comparatively low proportion of contract value is subject to the risks that attend upon work below ground level; and once the building envelope is complete most trades can proceed without serious disruption from the weather. This is not, however, the general method of pricing Civil Engineering work: the volume of work below ground, increased exposure to weather and the tremendous variety of projects, in terms of type, complexity and scale, makes the straightforward use of unit rates less reliable. So, whilst even in building work similar or identical measured items attract a fairly broad range of prices, the range is much greater in Civil Engineering Bills. This uncertainty is compounded by the lower number of bill items generated under Civil Engineering Methods of Measurement, so that the precise nature of the work is less apparent from the bill descriptions and the statistical effect of ‘swings and roundabouts’ has less scope to average out extremes of pricing. To prepare a price for a Civil Engineering project, then, it is necessary to have regard to the method to be adopted in executing the work, draw up a detailed programme and then cost out the resources necessary to prosecute the chosen method. Because the first part of this process is the province of the Contractor’s planner, there has been a tendency to postpone detailed estimating until the tendering stage itself, with the employer relying up to that point upon an estimate prepared on a ‘broad brush’ basis. The result has been a growing pressure on the part of project sponsors for an improvement in budgetary advice, so that a decision to commit expenditure to a particular project is taken on firmer grounds. The absence of a detailed pricing method during the pre-contract phase also inhibits the accurate costing of alternative designs and regular cost checking to ensure that the design is being developed within the employer’s budget. This book therefore seeks to draw together the information appropriate to two methods of pricing: the cost of resources for use where an operational plan has been outlined, and unit rates for use where quantities can be taken from available drawings. To take some note of the range of unit rates that might apply to an item, the rates themselves are in some cases related to working method—for example by identifying the different types of plant that would suit varying circumstances. Nonetheless, it would be folly to propose that all types of Civil Engineering work could be covered by a price book such as this. The Editors have therefore had in mind the type and scale of work commissioned by a local authority, a public corporation or a large private company. This does embrace the great majority of work undertaken by the industry each year. Although almost all projects will have individual features that require careful attention in pricing, there will be some projects that are so specialist that they will not conform to standard pricing information at all.

But for most projects, within the range of work covered, this book should provide a firm foundation of cost information upon which a job-specific estimate can be built. The contents of the book are therefore set out in a form that permits the user to follow the estimating process through in a structured way, as follows: Part 1: General The balance of this section describes in narrative form the work stages normally followed in a Contractor’s office from receipt of the tender documents through to the submission of the tender. Part 2: Preliminaries and General Items Containing a checklist of items to be priced with Preliminaries and General Items (or ‘Method Related Charges’) and a worked example containing specific cost information. Part 3: Resources This deals with the basic cost of resources, so that a resource-based system of estimating can be adopted where it is possible to develop an outline programme and method statement. Reference to this section will also assist the user to make adjustments to unit rates where different labour or material costs are thought to apply and to calculate analogous rates for work based on the hypothetical examples given. It is stressed that all of the costs given in this section are exclusive of the items costed with the preliminaries and of financing charges, head office overheads and profit. In addition, the materials and plant costs as shown are gross, with no deduction of discount. Part 4 and 5: Unit Costs These sections are structured around methods of measurement for Civil Engineering Work and gives ‘trade by trade’ unit rates for those circumstances where the application of unit rates to measured quantities is possible and practical. Again, it is stressed that the rates are exclusive of the items costed with preliminaries and of financing charges, head office overheads and profit. Both materials and plant costs are adjusted to allow a normal level of discount, with allowances for materials wastage and plant usage factors. Part 6: Ancillary Building Work This section is to be utilised in conjunction with Parts 4 and 5 to enable the user to incorporate within the estimate items more normally associated with Building Work rather than Civil Engineering and which do not fall readily under recognised methods of measurement for Civil Engineering Work. Due to the diversity of items that fall under such a definition, because of specification differences, the format for this section is structured to incorporate a range of items to allow the production of the estimate for such items prior to detailed design information being available. Additionally this section includes, in the same format, items covering simple Building Works which occur in

connection with a Civil Engineering Contract but which do not form a significant proportion of the overall value and therefore do not need to be estimated in great detail using Parts 4 and 5 unit rates. Part 7: Oncosts & Profit Having produced an estimate for the predicted cost of the work, being the sum of the preliminaries and the measured work, the estimate must be converted to a tender by the application of any adjustment made by management (which follows the Management Appraisal described later in this Part of the book) and by additions for financing charges, head office overheads and profit. These additions are discussed in this section and also included is a worked example of a tender summary. Part 8: Costs and Tender Prices Indices The cost and tender price indices included in this part of the book provide a basis for updating historical cost or price information, by presenting changes in the indices since 1986. Part 9: Daywork Including details of the FCEC daywork schedule and advice on costing excluded items. Part 10: Professional Fees These contain reference to standard documentation relating to professional fees for Consulting Engineers and Quantity Surveyors. Part 11: Approximate Estimates The prices in this section have been assembled from a number of sources, including the relevant items in the unit costs section and recovered data from recent projects. They are intended to give broad price guides or to assist in comparison exercises. Part 12: Outputs Scheduled here are various types of operations and the outputs expected of them. Also listed are man hours for various trades found in Civil Engineering. Part 13: Tables and Information These include conversion tables, formulae, and a series of reference tables structured around trade headings.

Part 14: Updates This section is a pro-forma update which allows the user of the book to insert the adjustments to the published prices as and when they are advised through the free quarterly updating bulletin.

OUTLINE OF THE TENDERING AND ESTIMATING PROCESS This section of the book outlines the nature and purpose of Civil Engineering estimating and provides background information for users. It comprises an outline of the estimating and tendering process with supporting notes and commentaries on particular aspects. Some worked examples on tender preparation referred to in this part are included at the end of part 7. It must be emphasised that the main purpose of this book is to aid the estimating process, thus it is concerned more with the predicted cost of Civil Engineering work than with the prices in a bill of quantities. To ensure the correct interpretation of the information provided it is important to distinguish clearly between estimating and tendering; the following definitions are followed throughout. The estimate is the prediction of the cost of a project to the Contractor. The Tender is the price submitted by the Contractor to the Employer. The tender is based on the estimate with adjustments being made after review by management; these include allowances for risk, overheads, profit and finance charges. As discussed later in this section, prices inserted against individual items in a bill of quantities may not necessarily reflect the true cost of the work so described due to the view taken by the Contractor on the risks and financial aspects involved in executing the work. The following list summarises the activities involved in the preparation of a tender for a typical Civil Engineering project. The diagram that follows illustrates the relationships between the activities and, after the diagram, notes on factors affecting each stage of the process are given. 1. An overall appraisal of the project is made. 2. Material requirements are abstracted from the tender documents and prices are obtained from suppliers. Details of work normally sub-contracted are abstracted, together with relevant extracts from the tender documents and prices are obtained from sub-contractors. 3. The site of the works and the surrounding area is visited and studied. Local information is obtained on factors affecting the execution of the contract. 4. A programme and a detailed method of working for the execution of the contract is prepared. This will include details of plant requirements, temporary works, unmeasured work, appropriate supervisory staff, etc. 5. Designs are made for temporary works and other features left to be designed by the Contractor, and quantities are taken off for costing. 6. Major quantities given in the tender documents are checked.

7. The cost estimate for the project is prepared by costing out all of the resources identified by stages 2 to 6. An appraisal is made on the conditions of contract, financial requirements, etc. and an assessment of risk/opportunity is prepared. 8. The tender documents are priced. 9. Management reviews the estimate, evaluates the risks and makes allowances for overheads, profit and finance. 10. The tender is completed and submitted.

1. INITIAL APPRAISAL The purpose of the initial overall appraisal is to highlight any high value areas or any particular problems which could require specialist attention, it can also identify possible alternative methods of construction or temporary works. Tender lists are usually very selective and Contractors will have earned their place on them, therefore tenders are rarely declined or returned, a client who has an enquiry declined may not invite that Contractor to price for work again. Other points to be considered: □ the location and type of project and its suitability to the tenderer’s particular expertise □ the size of project, its financing requirement, the proportion of annual turnover it would represent and the availability of resources □ the size of the tender list and the nature of the competition □ the identity of the employer and his professional consultants □ the adequacy of the tender documents □ an initial appraisal of risk and opportunity (see Section 8)

At the same time, it is essential for the estimator to study the contract documents issued with the enquiry or made available for inspection and note those parts which will affect pricing or involve the Contractor in risks which must be evaluated later and drawn to the attention of management. The following comments are indicative only: Conditions of Contract For Civil Engineering work these are normally based on the standard form of contract issued by the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Association of Consulting Engineers and the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors and generally known as the ‘ICE Conditions of Contract’. Some employing authorities have their own standard conditions of contract which are usually based on the ICE conditions but with additions and amendments to some of the clauses. Other employers and consultants use the basic form with amendments included with the contract documents. The estimator must study and understand the implications of any variations and amendments. Bill of Quantities This serves three purposes: first and foremost it must be prepared with the objective of providing the estimator with as accurate a picture of the project as possible, so as to provide a proper basis for pricing. Second, it should enable the employer to compare tenders on an equal basis and third it will be used to evaluate the work executed for payment purposes. Individual items in the Bill do not necessarily describe in detail the work to be carried out under a particular item; reference must be made to the specification and the drawings to ascertain the full scope of the work involved. The method of preparing the Bill may be based on the ‘Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement’ issued by the Institution of Civil Engineers or the ‘Method of Measurement for Highway Works’ issued by the Department of Transport, but some employing authorities have evolved their own methods and it is important for the estimator to study the Bill and its preambles to ensure that his rates and prices are comprehensive. Specification This gives a detailed description of the workmanship, finish and materials to be used in the construction of the work. It may also give completion periods for sections and/or the whole of the work together with details of the requirements for the employer and/or the Consulting Engineer in connection with their supervision on site. Water Authority and Highway Works in particular are based around a standard specification. Drawings These give details of the work to be carried out and must be read in conjunction with the specification. It is important for the estimator to study the notes and descriptions given on the drawings as these amplify the specification.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

Should the estimator discover any conflict between the various documents, it is important to have such discrepancies clarified by the Employer or Engineer prior to submission of any offer.

2. OBTAINING PRICES (a) Materials When pricing materials, the following points must be noted: □ checks must be made to ensure that the quality of materials to be supplied meets with the requirements of the specification. If necessary, samples should be obtained and tested for compliance □ checks must be made to ensure that the rates of delivery and fabrication periods can meet the demands of the programme. It is sometimes necessary to use more than one supplier, with differing prices, to ensure a sufficient flow of materials □ tests should be carried out to ascertain allowances to be made for operations such as compaction of soils and aggregates. Records of past contracts using similar materials can give this information, providing such records are accurate and reliable (b) Sub-contractors It is common practice among Civil Engineering Contractors to sub-contract a significant proportion of their work. This is done for two main reasons: □ to avoid the necessity of holding large amounts of special plant (earthmoving equipment for example) or specialised labour which, without continuity of work, generally have low utilisation and therefore provide low return on capital employed □ to spread the risks inherent in work of this nature Sub-contracted work can form up to 65–70% of the value of measured work. When utilising sub-contractors’ prices it is extremely important to ensure that the rates given cover the full extent of the work described in the main contract, and that the subcontractors quotation allows for meeting the main Tender programme and methods of working.

3. SITE VISIT Factors to check during the site visit include: □ access □ limitations of working space □ existing overhead and underground services □ nearby public transport routes □ availability of services—water, gas, electricity, telephone, etc. □ availability of labour and sub-contractors

General

□ availability of materials—particularly aggregates and fill materials location of nearest tipping facility □ nature of the ground, including inspection of trial bores/pits if dug ground water level □ presence of other Contractors working on or adjacent to the site.

4. METHOD STATEMENT AND PROGRAMME Whilst an estimate is being prepared it is preferable that a detailed method of working and a programme for the execution of the works is drawn up; the latter can take the form of a bar chart or, for large and more complex projects, may be prepared by more sophisticated means such as a precedence or critical path network. Compliance with the employer’s target completion dates is, of course, essential. The method of working will depend on this programme in so far as the type and size of plant and the gang sizes to be used must be capable of achieving the output necessary to meet the programmed times. Allowance must be made for delays due to adverse weather and other hazards particular to the site. A method statement is prepared in conjunction with the programme, setting out the resources required, outputs to be achieved and the requirements in respect of temporary works, etc. At the same time, separate bar charts may be produced giving: □ plant requirements □ staff and site supervision requirements □ labour requirements. Where practical and economic, the method of working will be based on the use of Contractor-owned plant, but Contractors will also generally use hired plant especially where their overall utilisation of an item of plant is less than about 70% of its available working time. These programmes and method statements will form the basis of the actual contract programme should the tender be accepted. They will also enable the Contractor to assure himself that he has available or can gain access to the necessary resources in plant, labour, materials and supervision to carry out the work should he be awarded the contract.

5. DESIGN OF TEMPORARY WORKS, ETC Normally the period of time allowed for tendering is relatively short and therefore it is important that those aspects requiring design work are recognised as early as possible in the tender period. Design can be carried out either by the Contractor using his own engineers or by utilising the services of a Consulting Engineer. There are three aspects of design to be considered:

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

10

A. Temporary works to the Contractor’s requirements to enable the works to be constructed Design of temporary works covers the design of those parts of the work for which the Contractor accepts full responsibility in respect of stability and safety during construction. Such parts include support structures, cofferdams, temporary bridges, jetties and river diversions, special shuttering, scaffolding, etc. Design must be in sufficient detail to enable materials, quantities and work content to be assessed and priced by the estimator. In designing such work, it is important that adequate attention is given to working platforms and access for labour and plant and also to ease of dismantling and reerection for further uses without damage. It should be noted that many specialist sub-contractors will provide a design service when submitting quotations. For example, scaffolding Contractors will design suitable support work for soffit shuttering, etc. B. Specific items of the permanent works to meet a performance specification set out by the client or the Consulting Engineer It is common practice for certain parts of the work to be specified by means of a performance specification. For example, concrete is specified by strength only, piles by load carrying capacity, etc. It is then left to the Contractor to use those materials, workmanship and design which he feels are most suited to the particular site and conditions. In many cases such design will be carried out by specialist suppliers or subcontractors. C. Alternative designs for sections of the permanent works where the Contractor’s experience leads him to consider that a more economical design could be used It is possible for a Contractor to use his expertise and experience to design and submit alternative proposals and prices for complete sections of the permanent work without, of course, altering the basic requirements of the original design. Examples would be foundations in difficult ground conditions, bridge superstructures, use of precast in place of in situ concrete, etc. Such designs may be carried out by the Contractor’s own staff or in conjunction with Consulting Engineers or specialist Contractors Obviously this is only done when the Contractor can offer considerable savings in cost and/or a reduced construction period. It is necessary to include a price for the original design in the tender, but the decision to submit a keen tender may be underpinned by the hope of sharing such savings with the Employer. In all cases, the Contractor’s designs and calculations must be checked and approved by the Employer’s Consulting Engineer, but such checks and approvals do not relieve the Contractor of his responsibilities for the safety and stability of the work. Where any design work is undertaken it is important to ensure that adequate design insurance is maintained.

6. QUANTITIES CHECK Working within obvious time constraints, the estimating team will endeavour to complete a quantities check on at least the major and high price quantities of the Bill, as this could affect his pricing strategy, for example, in pricing provisional items. If any major discrepancies are noted these should be referred to the management appraisal agenda.

7. COST ESTIMATE At this stage the estimator draws together the information and prepares a cost estimate made up of: □ preliminaries and general items (see part 2) □ temporary works □ labour, costed by reference to the method statement, with appropriate allowances for labour oncosts (non-productive overtime, travelling time/fares, subsistence, guaranteed time, bonus, Employer’s Liability Insurance, training, statutory payments, etc.) (see page 38–39) □ material costs taken from price lists or suppliers’ quotations, with appropriate allowances for waste □ plant, whether owned or hired, with appropriate allowances for transport to/from site, erection/ dismantling, maintenance, fuel and operation. Heavy static plant (batching plant, tower cranes, etc.) will normally be priced with general items; the remainder will normally be allocated to the unit rates □ sublet work, as quoted by specialist sub-contractors, with appropriate allowances for all attendances required to be provided by the main Contractor At the same time, a preliminary assessment of risk/opportunity will be made for consideration with the Management Appraisal (see Section 8 below). This will include a look at: □ weather conditions—costs not recoverable by claims under the Conditions of Contract, ground becoming unsuitable for working due to the effect of weather, etc. □ flooding—liability of site to flooding and the consequent costs □ suitability of materials—particular risk can arise if prices are based on the use of borrow pits or quarries and inadequate investigation has been carried out or development is refused by the local authorities □ reliability of sub-contractors—failure of a sub-contractor to perform can result in higher costs through delays to other operations and employing an alternative subcontractor at higher cost □ non-recoverable costs—such as excesses on insurance claims □ estimator’s ability—e.g.. outputs allowed. This can only be gauged from experience □ cost increase allowances for fixed price contract □ terms and conditions contained in the contract documents □ ability to meet specification requirements for the prices allowed □ availability of adequate and suitable labour

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

12

Risk is, of course, balanced by opportunity and consideration needs to be given to areas for which particular expertise possessed by the Contractor will lead to a price advantage against other tenderers.

8. PRICING THE TENDER Once the cost estimate is complete, the estimator prices the items in the Bill. The rate to be entered against the items at this stage should be the correct rate for doing the job, whatever the quantity shown. Where the overall operation covers a number of differing Bill items, the estimator will allocate the cost to the various items in reasonable proportions; the majority of the work is priced in this manner. The remaining items are normally priced by unit rate calculation. Resources schedules, based on the programme and giving details of plant, labour and staff, perform an important role in enabling the estimator to check that he has included the total cost of resources for the period they are required on site. It is not unusual for an item of plant to be used intermittently for more than one operation. A check on the total time for which the cost has been included in the estimate against the total time the item is needed on site as shown on the programme, gives a period of non-productive time. The cost of this is normally included in site oncosts and preliminaries. A similar situation can arise in the cases of skilled labour, craftsmen and plant drivers. Having priced the Bill at cost, there will remain a sum to be spread over the Bill items. The way in which this is done depends on the view taken by the Contractor of the project; for example: □ sums can be put against the listed general items in the Preliminaries Bill □ a fixed ‘Adjustment Item’ can be included in the Bill for the convenience of the estimator. This can be used for the adjustment made following the Management Appraisal, and for taking advantage of any late but favourable quotations received from sub-contractors or suppliers □ the balance can be spread over the rates by equal percentage on all items, or by unequal percentages to assist in financing the contract or to take advantage of possible contract variations, or expected quantity changes (see notes against 7) The Contractor will normally assess the financial advantages to be gained from submitting his bid in this manner and possibly enabling him to submit a more competitive offer. After completing the pricing of all aspects of the tender, the total costs are summarised and profit, risk, etc., added to arrive at the total value of the Tender. A suggested form of this summary is set out in part 7: Oncosts and Profit. Finally, reasonable forecasts of cash flow and finance requirements are essential for the successful result of the project. Preliminary assessments may have been made for the information of management, but contract cash flow and the amount of investment required to finance the work can now be estimated by plotting income against expenditure using the programme of work and the priced Bill of Quantities. Payment in arrears and retentions, both from the Employer and to the suppliers and sub-contractors, must be taken into account.

General

13

It is unlikely that sufficient time will be available during the tender period to produce such information accurately, but an approximate figure, for use as a guide for finance requirements, can be assessed. The assumption is made that all work which is subcontracted is self financing—i.e. that the sub-contractor is paid after the main Contractor receives payment and that the same contract conditions and terms of payment apply. A worked example is set out in part 7: Oncosts and Profit.

9. MANAGEMENT APPRAISAL Clearly, as far as the detail of the tender build-up is concerned, management must rely upon its established tendering procedures and upon the experience and skill of its estimators. The Management Appraisal will therefore concentrate upon matters of policy and factors having a significant impact upon cost or price, including a review of: □ the major quantities □ the programme and method statement □ plant usage □ major suppliers and/or sub-contractors, and discounts □ the nature of the competition □ risk and opportunity □ contract conditions, including in particular the level of damages for late completion, the minimum amount of certificates, retention and bonding requirements □ cash flow and finance □ margin for head office overheads and profit □ the weighting and spreading of the cost estimate over the measured items in the Bill

10. SUBMISSION OF TENDER On completion of the tender, the documents are read over and then despatched to the employer in accordance with the conditions set down in the invitation letter. A complete copy of the tender as submitted should be retained by the Contractor. Drawings on which the offer has been based should be clearly marked ‘Tender Copy’, their numbers recorded and the drawings filed for future reference. These documents will then form the basis for price variations should the design be amended during the currency of the contract. The Contractor may wish to qualify his offer to clarify the basis of his price. Normally such qualifications are included in a letter accompanying the tender. Legally the Form of Tender constitutes the offer and it is important that reference to such a letter is made on the Form of Tender to ensure that it forms part of the offer. Wording such as ‘and our letter dated…, reference…’ should be added prior to quoting the Tender Sum. Before any qualifications are quoted, careful note must be taken of the ‘instructions to tenderers’ as qualifications; or at least qualifications submitted without a conforming tender, may be forbidden.

PART 2 Preliminaries and General Items This part deals with that portion of Civil Engineering costs not, or only indirectly, related to the actual quantityof work being carried out. It comprises a definition of Method Related Charges, a checklist of items to be accounted for on a typical Civil Engineering contract and a worked example illustrating how the various items on the checklist can be dealt with.

METHOD RELATED CHARGES Although the more familiar terminology of Preliminaries and General Items is used in this book the principle of Method Related Charges—separating non quantity related charges from quantity related charges—is adopted. Generally the former are dealt within this part, while the latter are dealt with in part 4: Unit Costs. In this part non quantity related charges are further subdivided into those that are time related and those that are non time related. The concept of METHOD RELATED CHARGES can be summarised as follows:In commissioning Civil Engineering work the Employer buys the materials left behind, but only hires from the Contractor the men and machines which manipulate them, and the management skills to manipulate them effectively. It is logical to assess their values in the same terms as the origin of their costs. It is illogical not to do so if the Employer is to retain the right at any time to vary what is left behind and if the financial uncertainties affecting Employer and Contractors are to be minimised. Tenderers have the option to define a group of bill items and insert charges against them to cover those expected costs which are not proportional to the quantities of Permanent Works. To distinguish these items they are called Method Related Charges. They are themselves divided into charges for recurrent or time related cost elements, such as maintaining site facilities or operating major plant, and charges for elements which are neither recurrent nor directly related to quantities, such as setting up, bringing plant to site and Temporary Works.’

Preliminaries and general items

15

Another hope expressed with the introduction of Method Related Charges was that they should accurately reflect the work described in the item and that they should not, as had become the practice with some of the vague general items frequently included in Civil Engineering Bills, be used as a home for lump sum tender adjustments quite unrelated to the item. Where cost information is given in the worked example presented at the end of this part of the book, therefore, it must be stressed that only direct and relevant costs are quoted. Where no detailed information is available, it is suggested that when preparing a preliminary estimate, an addition of between 7 1/2%–15% of net contract value is made to cover Contractor’s Site Oncosts both time and non time related.

CHECKLIST OF ITEMS The following checklist is representative but not exhaustive. It lists and describes the major preliminary and general items which are included, implicitly or explicitly, in a typical Civil Engineering contract and, where appropriate, gives an indication of how they might be costed. Generally contract documents give detailed requirements for the facilities and equipment to be provided for the Employer and for the Engineer’s representative and Bills of Quantities provide items against which these may be priced; no such items are provided for Contractor’s site oncosts or, usually, for temporary works and general purpose plant. For completeness a checklist of both types of item is given here under the following main headings: □ Contractor’s site oncosts □ time related □ non time related □ Employer’s and consultants’ site requirements □ time related □ non time related □ Other services, charges and fees □ Temporary works (other than those included in unit costs) □ General-purpose plant (other than that included in unit costs)

INSURANCES AND BOND Contractors are legally required to insure against liability which may be incurred when employees are injured at work and when individuals are injured by owners’ vehicles. There is also a statutory requirement for certain types of machinery to be inspected at regular intervals. In addition to legal requirements, companies insure against possible loss due to fire, explosion, fraud, liability incurred as a result of damage to the property of others and through serious injury to individuals. Certain risks are excluded from insurers’ policies; these include war, revolution, etc, contamination by radioactivity and risks which arise from bad management. Generally insurance companies take into account the claims record of a Contractor when assessing premiums payable on a particular contract or policy. Premiums are related to the risks involved and, on large Civil Engineering contracts, the insurers will require full details of the work, the methods of construction plant used and risks involved due to flood, ground conditions, etc. Insurance companies or brokers should be consulted before submitting a tender for major Civil Engineering work. The following gives an outline of the items to be allowed for in a tender Employer’s liability insurance This provides indemnity to the Employer against legal liability for death of or injury to employees sustained in the course of their employment. The cost is normally allowed for in the build-up of the ‘all-in’ labour rate as a percentage addition to the gross cost. This will vary, depending on the Contractor’s record. An allowance of 2% has been made in this book. Vehicle insurance This can cover individual vehicles or fleets. The cost is normally covered in the rate charged to the contract for the use of the vehicles. All risks insurance This provides for loss of or damage to permanent and/or temporary works being executed on the contract. It also covers plant, materials, etc. The cost is allowed for in the tender as a percentage of the total contract value. This will vary depending on the Contractor’s record and type of contract undertaken and also on the value of excesses included in the policy. Public liability insurance This provides indemnity against legal liability which arises out of business activities resulting in bodily injury to any person (other than employees), loss of or damage to

Preliminaries and general items

25

property (not owned or under the control of the company), obstruction, trespass or the like. Such Insurance can be extended to include labour-only sub-contractors and selfemployed persons if required. The cost is generally included with head office overheads. Professional indemnity insurance This provides against liability arising out of claims made against the conduct and execution of the business. This covers such items as design liability, etc. The cost may be with head office overheads where such where such insurance is considered desirable. Loss of money insurance This covers loss of money and other negotiable items and loss or damage to safes and strong rooms as a result of theft. It is necessary to cover cash in transit for wages, etc. The cost is included with head office overheads. Fidelity guarantee insurance This covers loss by reason of any act of fraud or dishonesty committed by employees. The cost is included with head office overheads. Other insurances Other insurances which may be carried by a Contractor include fire insurance on his permanent premises and contents, consequential loss insurance in relation to his permanent premises, personal accident insurance on a 24 hour per day basis for employees. Contract bond Where the contract calls for a bond to be provided, this is normally given by either banks or insurance companies. The total value of these guarantees available to any company is limited, depending on the goodwill and assets of the company. It will also affect the borrowing facilities available to the company and therefore, to some extent, can restrict his trading. An allowance should be made at a rate of 1½% per annum on the amount of the bond for the construction period plus a rate of ½% per annum for the maintenance period.

Worked Example—Programme of Activities, Staffing and Plant

Preliminaries and general items

27

WORKED EXAMPLE The example is of a contract for the construction of an Airport extension. The contract includes concrete surfaced aprons/runways, surface water drainage, construction of two concrete structures, minor accommodation works and two culverts. The Conditions of contract are ICE Standard conditions; the contract period is 12 months; and the approximate value is £5.8 million. It is assumed that the main Contractor will sub-let bulk earthworks and landscape, fencing, concrete surfacing, signs and lighting as well as waterproofing to structures. It is also taken that all materials are obtained off site (including concrete). The worked example demonstrates a method of assessing preliminary costs and is based on the programme below together with an assessment of general purpose plant (a plant reconciliation is also given).

BASIS OF THIS SECTION The following are brief details of the Construction Industry Joint Council agreement on pay and conditions for the Building and Civil Engineering Industry, which is effective from 26th June 2000. Copies of the Working Rule Agreement may be obtained from Construction Industry Joint Council 56–64 Leonard Street London EC2A 4JX Rates of Pay (Rule WR.2) The basic hourly rates of pay are: Labourer/General Operative £4.78 Skill Rate 4 £5.15 Skill Rate 3 £5.46 Skill Rate 2 £5.83 Skill Rate 1 £6.05 Craft Operative £6.35

Plus Rates for Skill These are incorporated in the tiered rate structure, the application of which is explained in Schedule 1 of the WRA. Bonus (Rule WR.2) The Working Rule leaves it open to employers and employees agreeing a job bonus scheme. Working Hours (Rule WR.3) Normal working hours are unchanged at 39 hour week—Monday to Thursday at 8 hours per day and Friday at 7 hours. Overtime Rates (Rule WR.4) During the period of Monday to Friday, the first 4 hours after normal working day is paid at time and a half, after 4 hours double time shall be paid. Saturday time and a half until completion of the first four hours. Remainder of Saturday and all Sunday at double time. Daily Fare and Travelling Allowances (Rule WR.5) This applies only to distances from home to the site of between 15 and 75 km., giving rates of 75 p to £5.81 for Travelling Allowance (taxed) and £2.82 to £10.16 for Fare Allowance (not taxed). For the one way distance of 15 km used in the following example. we have presumed a rate of £2.82 with effect from 26 June 2000. Subsistence Allowance (Rule WR.15) The current allowance is £21.04 will increase to £21.64 with effect from 26 June 2000.

Annual Holidays Allowance (Rules WR.18 and 21) The Annual Holiday/Benefit Stamp has now been abandoned and we have included both Annual and Public Holiday Pay in accordance with the Template Scheme operated by Building & Civil Engineering Benefit Schemes (B&CE). Allowances have been calculated on total weekly earnings inclusive of overtime and bonus payments ant the labour cost calculation assumes 21 days (4.2 weeks) annual and 8 days (1.6 weeks) public holidays. Plus Rates for Conditions Schedule 2 of the WRA sets out additional rates of pay for intermittent skill, responsibility or working in adverse conditions: Stone Cleaning—45 p per hour for specified conditions; Working in unlined tunnels—12 p per hour; Working in Sewers— 30 p, 20 p or 25 p per hour; Working at Height—25 p per hour for each additional 45 m above 45 m.

LABOUR COSTS

CALCULATION OF LABOUR COSTS This section sets out a method used in calculating all-in labour rates used within this book. The calculations are based on the wage rates, plus rates and other conditions of the Working Rule Agreement (WRA); important points are discussed below. The calculations can be used as a model to enable the user to make adjustments to suit specific job conditions in respect of plus rate, bonus, subsistence and overhead allowances together with working hours etc. to produce alternative all-in rates which can be substituted for those printed. All-in labour costs are calculated on the page opposite for six categories of labour reflecting the different levels of skill recognised in the WRA. The following examples have been extracted from the WRA: GENERAL OPERATIVE Unskilled general labour SKILLED OPERATIVE RATE 4 Gangers+trade chargehands; Banksmen; Attendee at loading/tipping; Compressor/generator operator; Concrete leveller/vibrator operator/screeder+surface finisher, concrete placer; Linesmen-erector’s mate; Timberman’s attendee; Tar spraying operators; Pipe jointers <300mm diameter; Paviors rammerman, kerb+paving jointer; Power driven tools (breakers, tamping machines etc.); Agric. tractor; Drag shovel; Trenching machine <30hp; Dumper <7t; Power roller <4t; Crane <5 t; Mixer <21/14 or 400 litres; Tower crane <2t; Mobile crane/hoists/fork-lifts <5t; Power-driven pumps SKILLED OPERATIVE RATE 3 Linesmen-erectors 2nd grade; Timberman; Steelwork erector (simple work); Pipe layers; Pipe jointers (300–535 mm diameter); Excavator tractor <100hp; Excavator <0.6m3 bucket; Trenching machine 30–70 hp; Dumper 7–16 t; Power roller 4t+;

SUBSISTANCE PAYMENTS are included for key men only: for a stated percentage of the workforce. TRAVELLING ALLOWANCES are based on rate payable for a journey of 15 Km at £3.49 per day. These allowances are adjusted to cater for operatives receiving Subsistance Payments. BONUS PAYMENTS reflect current average payments in the industry. WORKING HOURS & NON-PRODUCTIVE OVERTIME are calculated thus:

PLEASE NOTE: The above prices are based upon information obtained from a number of companies or individual quarries. An average of the above prices is used in part 4 and 5 (Unit Cost compilation), and provides a reasonable guide as to comparative costs of common or DOT Specification materials. It must be remembered that transport costs form a high proportion of delivered stone prices: if a 20 tonne tipper costs £20.00 per hour to operate then it follows that for each hour journey time £1.00 will be added to each tonne delivered. The above costs are based on approximately £1.60 per tonne transport cost. Minimum 16 tonne loads. Allow 8–10p/tonne per mile adjustment to 20 mile inclusion if required. Market conditions and commercial considerations could also affect these prices to a surprising degree—up to double for the more selective materials. We have included such variations only where we feel that there is a sound reason for them and so have attempted to produce a reasonable guide to market conditions. If specific requirements are known then local quarries are usually helpful with information and guide prices.

PLANT

INTRODUCTION The information, rates and prices included in this section are calculated examples of actual owning and operating costs of a range of construction plant and equipment (excluding drivers or operators). To an extent they will also serve as a guide to prevailing commercial plant hire rates. But be aware many factors will influence actual hire rates. For example, rates could be lower because of long term hire, use of older or second hand machines, low market demands/loss leaders, easy tasks or sites near to depot. Rates could be higher due to short term hire, high production demands, low utilisation factors, specialist operations, restricted working and restricted accessability problems, high profit or overhead demands, finance fluctuations. The use factors will mean a hired machine may not be used productively for each hour on site, it is therefore up to the estimator to allow for reasonable outputs in his unit rate calculations. These and other considerations must be borne in mind if using these costs as a comparison to hire rates especially operated plant. All rates quoted are exclusive of Value Added Tax.

CONTRACTOR OWNED PLANT Plant owned by a Contractor generally falls under two headings: □ Small plant and tools which are the subject of a direct charge to contracts and for estimating purposes are normally allowed for as a percentage of the labour cost, in site on-costs (see Preliminaries and General Items), although many items are shown in this section for information. □ Power driven plant and major non-mechanical plant such as steel trestling, scaffolding, gantries etc. Such plant is normally charged to the contract on a rental basis except in the case of purpose made or special plant bought specifically for a particular operation; this latter is normally charged in full to contracts and allowance made for disposal on completion (often at scrap value). A very wide range of plant is readily available from plant hire companies; it is not usually economical for Contractors to own plant unless they can ensure at least 75 to 80% utilisation factor based on the Contractor’s normal working hours. Where a Contractor does own plant, however, it is essential that he maintains reasonably accurate records of the working hours and detailed costs of maintenance and repairs in order that he may

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

106

estimate the charges to be made for each item of plant. For this reason, where a Contractor owns a large quantity of plant, it is normal for a separate plant hire department or company to be formed. This department or company should be financially self supporting and may hire plant to other Contractors when it is not needed. Maintenance of Contractor owned plant can be carried out on site; it is not necessary to maintain a centrally based repair workshop. It is, however, desirable to have some storage facilities available for plant when not in use. The cost of owning plant and hence the rental charges to be made to contracts must take into account: □ capital cost □ depreciation charges □ maintenance and repairs □ cost of finance □ insurances and licences □ administraction, head office, depot and other overhead charges Calculated examples of hourly owning costs of a range of plant and equipment.

Notes—example plant ownership hourly costs □ The above costs would be updated annually or bi-annually, the rental rate being revised to ensure complete recovery of the costs associated with the item of plant and return of capital to enable the machine to be replaced at the end of its life with the Contractor. The purchase price must also be adjusted to ensure recovery of the replacement cost and not the original cost of purchase. □ Driver’s wages and costs should be charged direct to site wages. □ Column A: The utilisation factors used in conjunction with the period of ownership is the percentage of time (per annum) that an item of plant can be expected to be used productively on a site or job and therefore is a very important influence of hourly costs. (Note: Utilisation factors are not the same as site utilisation rates—see note overleaf regarding Fuel Consumption) Economical owning periods/use factors: Life (years) Usage (%) Hydraulic Excavators, large Hydraulic Excavators, medium Hydraulic Excavators, mini Dozers/Scrapers Loaders/Shovels Mobile Cranes Crawler Cranes Dump Trucks Dumpers Rollers/Compaction Compressors/Generators Diesel engine road vehicles Petrol engine road vehicles

□ Column B: The result of applying the utilisation factor to 2,100 hours per annum. □ Columns C and D: The period over which the Contractor owns the plant and during which time the items of plant can be maintained at reasonable efficiency will vary according to the Contractor’s experience, the type of plant under consideration and the work on which is it employed. The owning period of an item of plant can vary considerably on this basis. The data we have used in our calculations varies considerably (see the tables shown above and on the next page). □ Column E: The list price being quoted by dealers, against which should be allowed a level of discount suited to the availability of the plant and the bargaining power between the purchaser and the agent.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

108

□ Column J: Maintenance costs cover major overhauls and replacement costs for wear items only, excluding insurable damage and will vary with each type of plant. This does not include day to day general servicing on site. □ Column K: Finance interest charges are taken on the average base rate over the previous 12 months plus 3%. □ Column L: Insurance premiums have been taken as 2% on the replacement value of the plant (purchase price). □ Column M: Administration, head office, depot and other overhead charges have been taken at +20% □ Consumables should be charged direct to site costs. The costs included with this section are based upon manufacturers’ data and are used in good faith. (For outline estimates fuel consumption can be taken as approximately 0.15–0.20 litres per kW per working hour; lube oils, filters, grease etc., can be taken as 2% to 10% of the fuel cost, depending upon the working conditions of the machine and its attachments). See below for details. □ Please note that the costs in this section have been completely reviewed for recent editions, based on the latest available advice and data from manufacturers and Plant Hire firms, the basis of calculation, including retention period of the plant, has been changed in a number of cases, providing a realistic overall owning and operating cost of the machine. □ These examples are for machine costs only and do not include for operator costs or profit element or for transport costs to and from site. □ Fuel consumption is based on the following site utilisation rates. (Site utilisation being the percentage of time that the machine is operating at its average fuel consumption during a working day) Utilisation Factor Excavators Dozers/Scrapers Loaders/Shovels/Graders Mobile Cranes Crawler Cranes Dump Trucks (not Tippers) Dumpers Compressors, mixers, generators Tractors Hoists, etc. Drills and Saws Rollers/Compaction Plant Piling/Asphalt Equipment All other items

Note that the above consumption figures represent ‘medium’ plant operation, i.e. the plant would not be operating at full throttle and working conditions such as the soil and grades are average. A study of manufacturers’ figures has indicated that ‘high’ or ‘low’ usage can affect consumption on average by ± 25%; ‘high’ usage would involve full loads, continuous working at full throttle with difficult ground and adverse grades, whereas ‘low’ usage would involve more intermittent working with perhaps considerable idling periods, more easily worked ground and easier grades.

PLANT COSTS The costs included in this section are based upon the methodology of the worked examples, these have then been compared to average costs, allowances and hire rates in force at the time of writing (Summer 2000). These costs then form the basis for plant costs included in parts 4 and 5 (except for specialist advice). Weekly costs are based upon a 40 hour week, daily costs are based on an 8 hour day, all costs are exclusive of labour for operation. Also given here is a reference to the 1998 CECA Daywork Schedule (Plant Section). Rates given for consumables are in line with the notes on the preceding page without loss or wastage and are based on the following (All plant except those noted are priced on Gas Oil usage): Petrol 4 star 67.58 pence/litre Petrol Unleaded 61.85 pence/litre Fuel Oil (taxed for use in licensed vehicles) 62.14 pence/litre DERV Fuel Oil (untaxed, for use on site) Gas Oil 13.28 pence/litre Lubrication Oil (15/40) 95.02 pence/litre Mains electric power 8.59 pence/kWh Oxygen £18.08/10 m3 0.18 pence/litre Acetylene £55.24/8.4 m3 0.66 pence/litre Propane 104.75 pence/kg Also included here are allowances for Transmission Oils, Hydraulic Oil, Filters, Grease, etc. .

PART 4 Unit Costs (Civil Engineering Works) INTRODUCTORY NOTES The Unit Costs in this part represent the net cost to the Contractor of executing the work on site; they are not the prices which would be entered in a tender Bill of Quantities. It must be emphasised that the unit rates are averages calculated on unit outputs for typical site conditions. Costs can vary considerably from contract to contract depending on individual Contractors, site conditions, methods of working and various other factors. Reference should be made to part 1 for a general discussion on Civil Engineering Estimating. Guidance prices are included for work normally executed by specialists, with a brief description where necessary of the assumptions upon which the costs have been based. Should the actual circumstances differ, it would be prudent to obtain check prices from the specialists concerned, on the basis of actual/likely quantity of the work, nature of site conditions, geographical location, time constraints, etc. The method of measurement adopted in this section is CESMM3, subject to variances where this has been felt to be of advantage to produce more helpful price guidance. We have structured this Unit Cost section to cover as many aspects of Civil works as possible. The Gang hours column shows the output per measured unit in actual time, not the total labour hours; thus for an item involving a gang of 5 men each for 0.3 hours, the total labour hours would naturally be 1.5, whereas the Gang hours shown would be 0.3. This section is structured in such a manner as to provide the User with adequate background information on how the rates have been calculated, so as to allow them to be readily adjusted to suit other conditions to the example presented: □ alternative gang structures as well as the effect of varying bonus levels, travelling costs etc. □ Other types of plant or else different running costs from the medium usage presumed □ Other types of materials or else different discount/waste allowances from the levels presumed Reference to part 3 giving basic costs of labour, materials and plant together with Parts 12 and 13 will assist the reader in making adjustments to the unit costs.

GUIDANCE NOTES Generally Adjustments should be made to the rates shown for time, location, local conditions, site constraints and any other factors likely to affect the costs of a specific scheme. Method of Measurement Although this part of the book is primarily based on CESMM3, the specific rules have been varied from in cases where it has been felt that an alternative presentation would be of value to the book’s main purpose of providing guidance on prices. This is especially so with a number of specialist contractors. Materials cost Materials costs within the rates have been calculated using the ‘list prices’ contained in part 3: Resources (pages 40 to 107), with an index appearing on page 39), adjusted to allow for delivery charges (if any) and a ‘reasonable’ level of discount obtainable by the contractor, this will vary very much depending on the contractor’s standing, the potential size of the order and the supplier’s eagerness and will vary also between raw traded goods such as timber which will attract a low discount of perhaps 3%, if at all, and manufactured goods where the room for bargaining is much greater and can reach levels of 30% to 40%. High demand for a product at the time of pricing can dramatically reduce the potential discount, as can the world economy in the case of imported goods such as timber and copper. Allowance has also been made for wastage on site (generally 2½% to 5%) dependant upon the risk of damage, the actual level should take account of the nature of the material and its method of storage and distribution about the site. Labour cost The composition of the labour and type of plant is generally stated at the beginning of each section, more detailed information on the calculation of the labour rates is given in part 3: Resources, pages 35 to 37. This should allow the user to see the cost impact of a different gang as well as different levels of bonus payments, allowances for skills and conditions, travelling allowances etc. The user should be aware that the output constants are based on the gangs shown and would also need to be changed. Plant cost A rate build-up of suitable plant is generally stated at the beginning of each section, with more detailed information on alternative machines and their average fuel costs being given in part 3: Resources, pages 108 to 141. This should allow the user to see the cost impact of using alternativeplant as well as different levels of usage (see note on page

Unit costs (civil engineering works)

145

111). The user should be aware that the output constants are based on the plant shown and would also need to be changed. Outputs The user is directed to part 12: Outputs (pages 527 to 539) which contains a selection of output constants, in particular a chart of production rates for Hydraulic backacters on page 529 and haulage times for various capacities of Tippers on page 532.

NOTES Refer also to the worked example on pages 25 to 31. CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS Performance bond The cost of the bond will relate to the nature and degree of difficulty and risk inherent in the type of works intended, the perceived ability and determination of the Contractor to complete them, his financial status and whether he has a proven track record in this field with the provider. Refer to the discussion of the matter on page 23. Insurance of the Works Refer to the discussion of the various insurances on pages 22 and 23 as well as the example on page 28. Third party insurance Refer to the discussion of the various insurances on pages 22 and 23 as well as the example on page 28. SPECIFIED REQUIREMENTS General This section entails the listing of services and facilities over and above the ‘Permanent Works’ which the Contractor would be instructed to provide in the Contract Documents. Accommodation for the Engineer’s Staff Refer to resources—Plant page 141 for a list of accommodation types. Services for the Engineer’s staff Transport vehicles Land Rover, short wheelbase Land Rover, long wheelbase (for other vehicles, refer to Resources—Plant page 132)

Testing of materials Testing of the Works Temporary Works Temporary Works relate to other work which the contractor may need to carry out due to his construction method. These are highly specific to the particular project and envisaged construction method. Examples are: □ access roads and hardstandings/bases for plant and accommodation as well as to the assembly/working area generally □ constructing ramps for access to low excavations □ steel sheet, diaphragm wall or secant pile cofferdam walling to large excavations subject to strong forces/water penetration □ bridges □ temporary support works and decking The need for these items should be carefully considered and reference made to the other sections of the book for guidance on what costs should be set against the design assumptions made. Extensive works could well call for the involvement of a contractor’s temporary works engineer for realistic advice.

SAND, BAND AND WICK DRAINS Notes Vertical drains are a technique by which the rate of consolidation of fine grained soils can be considerably increased by the installation of vertical drainage paths commonly in the form of columns formed by a high-quality plastic material encased in a filter sleeve. Columns of sand are rarely used in this country these days. Band drains are generally 100 mm wide and 3–5 mm thick. water is extracted through the drain from the soft

soils when the surface is surcharged. The rate of consolidation is dependent on the drain spacing and the height of surcharge. Drains are usually quickly installed up to depths of 25 m by special lances either pulled or vibrated into the ground. typical drain spacing would be one per 1–2 m with the rate of installation varying between 1,500 to 6,000 m per day depending on ground conditions and depths.

GROUND CONSOLIDATION— VIBROREPLACEMENT (dry and wet processes) Notes Vibroreplacement is a method of considerably increasing the ground bearing pressure and consists of a specifically designed powerful poker vibrator penetrating vertically into the ground hyderaulically. Air and water jets may be used to assist penetration. In cohesive soils a hole is formed into which granular backfill is placed and compacted by the poker, forming a dense stone column. In natural sands and gravels the existing loose deposits may be compacted without the addition of extra material other than making up levels after settlement resulting from compaction. There are many considerations regarding the soil types to be treaten, whether cohesive or noncohesive, made-up or natural ground, which influence the choice of wet or dry processes, pure densification or stone column techniques with

added granular backfill. It is therefore possible only to give indicative costs; a Specialist Contractor should be consulted for more accurate costs for a particular site. Testing of conditions after consolidation can be static or dynamic penetration tests, plate bearing tests or zone bearing tests. A frequently adopted specification calls for plate bearing tests at 1 per 1000 stone columns. Allowable bearing pressures of up to 400 kN/m2 by the installation of stone columns in made or natural ground. The following costs are typical rates for this sort of work Establishment of standard plant and equipment and removal on completion Standing time Construct stone columns to a depth ne 4 m dry formed water jet formed Plate bearing test ne 11 t or 2 hour duration Zone loading test to specification

GROUND CONSOLIDATION—DYNAMIC COMPACTION Notes Ground consolidation by dynamic compaction is a technique which involves the dropping of a steel or concrete pounder several times in each location on a grid pattern that covers the whole site. For ground compaction up to 10 m, a 15 t pounder from a free fall of 20 m would be typical. Several passes over the site are normally required to achieve full compaction. The process is recommended for naturally cohesive soils and is usually uneconomic for areas of less than 4,000 m2 for sites with granular or mixed granular cohesive soils and 6,000 m for a site with weak cohesive soils. The main considerations to be taken into account when using this method of consolidation are: □ sufficient area to be viable □ proximity and condition of adjacent property and services □ need for blanket layer of granular material for a working surface and as backfill to offset induced settlement □ water table level

The final bearing capacity and settlement criteria that can be achieved depends on the nature of the material being compacted. Allowable bearing capacity may be increased by up to twice the pretreated value for the same settlement. Control testing can be by crater volume measurements, site levelling between passes, penetration tests or plate loading tests. The following range of costs are average based on treating an area of about 10,000 m2 for a 5– 6 m compaction depth. Typical progress would be 1,500–2,000 m2 per week Establishment of standard plant and equipment and removal on completion.

EXCAVATION BY DREDGING Notes Dredging can be carried out by land based machines or by floating plant. The cost of the former can be assessed by reference to the excavation costs of the various types of plant given below, suitably adjusted to take account of the type of material to be excavated, depth of water and method of disposal. The cost of the latter is governed by many factors

Unit costs (civil engineering works)

which affect the rates and leads to wide variations. For reliable estimates it is advisable to seek the advice of a Specialist Contractor. The prices included here are for some typical dredging situations and are shown for a cost comparison and EXCLUDE initial mobilisation charges which can range widely between £1,000 and £6,000 depending on plant, travelling distance etc.. Some clients schedule operations for when the plant is passing so as to avoid the large travelling cost. Of the factors affecting the cost of floating plant, the matter of working hours is by far one of the most important. The customary practice in the dredging industry is to work 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Local constraints, particularly noise restrictions, will have a significant impact. Other major factors affecting the cost of floating plant are: □ type of material to be dredged □ depth of water □ depth of cut □ tidal range □ disposal location □ size and type of plant required □ current location of plant □ method of disposal of dredged material In tidal locations, creating new channels on approaches to quays and similar locations or within dock systems Backhoe dredger loading material onto two hopper barges with bottom dumping facility maximum water depth 15 m, distance to disposal site less than 20 miles approximate daily cost of backhoe dredger and two hopper barges £7,500; average production 100 m3/hr, 1500 m3/day; locate, load, deposit and relocate

The majority of the present generation of trailers have the ability to dump at sea or discharge ashore. Floating craft using diesel driven suction method with a 750 mm diameter flexible pipe for a maximum distance of up to 5000 m from point of suction to point of discharge using a booster (standing alone, the cutter suction craft should be able to pump up to 2000 m). Maximum height of lift 10 m. Average pumping capacity of silt/sand type materials containing maximum 30% volume of solids would be about 8000 m3/day based on 24 hour working, Daily cost (hire basis|) in the region of £15000 including all floating equipmnet and discharge pipes, maintenance and all labour and plant to service but excluding mobilisation/initial set-up and demobilistaion costs (minimum £10000). For use in lakes, canals, rivers, industrial lagoons and from silted locations in dock systems Floating craft using diesel driven suction method with a 200 mm diameter flexible pipe maximum distance from point of suction to point of discharge 1500 m. Maximum dredge depth 5 m. Average pumping output 30 m3 per hour and approximate average costs (excluding mobilisation and demobilisation costs ranging between £2,500 and £4,500 apiece).

CLASS F: IN SITU CONCRETE Gang Labour Plant Material hours £ £ £

NOTES The unit rates in this Section are based on nett measurements and appropriate adjustments should be made for unmeasured excess (e.g. additional blinding thickness as a result of ground conditions). The unit rates for the provision of concrete are based on ready mixed concrete in full loads delivered to site within 5 miles (8 km) of the concrete mixing plant and include an allowance for wastage prior to placing. This section assumes optimum outputs of an efficiently controlled pour with no delays caused by out of sequence working and no abnormal conditions that would affect continuity of work. RESOURCES—LABOUR In situ concrete gang 1 ganger or chargehand (skill rate 4) 2 skilled operatives (skill rate 4) 4 unskilled operatives (general) 1 plant operator (skill rate 3)—25% of time Total Gang Rate/Hour RESOURCES—PLANT In situ concrete 22RB Crane (50% of time) 1.00 m3 concrete skip (50% of time) 11.30 m3/min compressor, 2 tool four 54 mm poker vibrators Total Rate/Hour RESOURCES—MATERIALS The following costs do not reflect in the rates and should be considered separately Delivery to site for each additional mile from the concrete plant further than 5 miles (8 km) Mix design, per trial mix Part loads, per m3 below full load Waiting time (in excess of 6 mins/m3 ‘norm’ discharge time) Making and testing concrete cube Pumping from ready mix truck to point of placing at the rate of 25 m3/hour Pumping from ready mix truck to point of placing

The companies marketing the systems will either supply all the materails and fittings required together with the sale or hire of suitable jacks and equipment for prestressing and grouting or they will undertake to complete the work on a sub-contract basis. The rates given below are therefore indicative only of the probable labour and plant costs and do not include for any permanent materials. The advice of specialist contractors should be sought for more accurate rates based on the design for a particular contract. Pretensioned prestressing is normally used only in the manufacture of precast units utilising special beds set up in the supplier’s factory.

CLASS H: PRECAST CONCRETE Gang Labour Plant Material hours £ £ £

NOTES The cost of precast concrete items is very much dependant on the complexity of the moulds, the number of units to be cast from each mould and the size and weight of the unit to be handled. The unit rates below are for standard precast items that are often to be found on a civil engineering project. It would be misleading to quote for indicative costs for tailor-made precast concrete units and it is advisable to contact Specialist Manufacturers for guide prices.

CLASS P: PILING Gang Labour Plant Material Unit Total hours £ £ £ Net Rate £

GENERALLY There are a number of different types of piling which are available for use in differing situations. Selection of the most suitable type of piling for a particular site will depend on a number of factors including the physical conditions likely to be encountered during driving, the loads to be carried, the design of superstructure, etc.. The most commonly used systems are included in this section It is essential that a thorough and adequate site investigation is carried out to ascertain details of the ground strata and bearing capacities to enable a proper assessment to be made of the most suitable and economical type of piling to be adopted. There are so many factors, apart from design considerations, which influence the cost of piling that it is not possible to give more than an approximate indication of costs. To obtain reliable costs for a particular contract advice should be sought from a company specialising in the particular type of piling proposed. Some Specialist Contractors will also provide a design service if required. BORED CAST IN PLACE CONCRETE PILES Concrete 20 N/mm2, 20 mm aggregate; nominal reinforcement; installed by tripod-mounted percussion rig The following unit costs cover the construction of small diameter bored piling using light and compact tripod rigs requiring no expensive site levelling or access ways. Piling can be constructed in very restricted headroom or on confined and difficult sites. Standard diameters are between 400 and 600 mm with a normal maximum depth of 30 m. The costs are based on installing 100 piles on a clear site with reasonable access. The items ‘Number of piles’ cover purely moving the rig and setting up at each pile position, the cost of bringing equipment onto the site is shown separately as a lump sum so as to enable the user to ascertain the cost per pile related to the number of piles intended. Disposal of excavated material is shown separately, this being generally carried out by the main contractor rather than the piling specialist.

This type of plant is more mobile and faster in operation than the tripod rigs and is ideal for large contracts in cohesive ground. Construction of piles under bentonite suspension can be carried out to obviate the use of liners. Standard diameters of 450–900 mm diameter can be constructed to depths of 30 m. The costs are based on installing 100 piles on a clear site with reasonable access. The items ‘Number of piles’ cover purely moving the rig and setting up at each pile position, the cost of bringing equipment onto the site is shown separately as a lump sum so as to enable the user to ascertain the cost per pile

Concrete is then pumped through the hollow stem of the auger to the bottom and the pile formed as the auger is withdrawn. Spoil is removed by the auger as it is withdrawn. This is a fast method of construction without causing disturbance or vibration to adjacent ground. No casing is required even in unsuitable soils. Reinforcement can be placed after grouting is complete. The costs are based on installing 100 piles on a clear site with reasonable access.

DRIVEN CAST IN PLACE CONCRETE PILES Temporary steel casing method The following unit costs cover the construction of piles by driving a heavy steel tube into the ground either by using an internal hammer acting on a gravel or concrete plug, as is more usual, or by using an external hammer on a driving helmet at the top of the tube. After driving to the required depth an enlarged base is formed by hammering out sucessive charges of concrete down the tube. The tube is then filled with concrete which is compacted as the tube is vibrated and withdrawn. Piles of 350 to 500 mm diameter can be constructed with rakes up to 1 in 4 to carry working loads up to 120 t per pile. The costs are based on installing 100 piles of 430 mm nominal diameter, a concrete strength of 20 M/mm2 suitably reinforced for a working load not exceeding 750 kN, on a clear site with reasonable access.

Unit costs (civil engineering works)

Concrete 20 N/mm2; segmental casing; nominal reinforcement Diameter: 620 mm number of piles concreted length depth driven PREFORMED CONCRETE PILES Generally The following unit costs cover the installation of driven precast concrete piles by using a hammer acting on shoe fitted or cast into the precast concrete pile unit. The costs are based on installing 100 piles of nominal sizes stated, a concrete strength of 50 M/mm2 suitably reinforced for a working load not exceeding 600 kN, with piles average 15 m long, on a clear site with reasonable access. Single pile lengths are normally a maximum of 13 m long, at which point, a mechanical interlocking joint is required to extend the pile. These joints are most economically and practically formed at works. Lengths, sizes of sections, reinforcement details and concrete mixes vary for differing contractors, whose specialist advice should be sought for specific designs. Provision of all plant, equipment and labour including transporting to and from the site and establishing and dismantling piles up to 275×275 mm piles 350×350 mm and over Set up at each pile position piles up to 275×275 mm piles 350×350 mm and over Standing time 235×235 mm 275×275 mm 350×350 mm

Item Concrete 50 N/mm2; reinforced for 600 kN Cross-sectional area: 0.05–0.1 m2; 235×235 mm number of piles of 10 m length number of piles of 15 m length number of piles of 20 m length number of piles of 25 m length add for mechanical interlocking joint

NOTES There are so many factors, apart from design considerations, which influence the cost of tunnelling trhat it is only possible to give guide prices for a sample of the work involved. For more reliable estimates it is advisable to seek the advice of a Specialist Contractor. The main cost considerations are: □ the nature of the ground □ size of tunnel □ length of drive □ depth below surface □ anticipated overbreak

Unit costs (civil engineering works)

PART 5 Unit Costs (Highway Works) INTRODUCTORY NOTES The Unit Costs in this part represent the net cost to the Contractor of executing the work on site; they are not the prices which would be entered in a tender Bill of Quantities. It must be emphasised that the unit rates are averages calculated on unit outputs for typical site conditions. Costs can vary considerably from contract to contract depending on individual Contractors, site conditions, methods of working and various other factors. Reference should be made to part 1 for a general discussion on Civil Engineering Estimating. Guidance prices are included for work normally executed by specialists, with a brief description where necessary of the assumptions upon which the costs have been based. Should the actual circumstances differ, it would be prudent to obtain check prices from the specialists concerned, on the basis of actual/likely quantity of the work, nature of site conditions, geographical location, time constraints, etc. The method of measurement adopted in this section is the Method of Measurement for Highway Works, subject to variances where this has been fett to be of advantage to produce more helpful price guidance. We have structured this Unit Cost section to cover as many aspects of Civil and Highway works as possible. The Gang hours column shows the output per measured unit in actual time, not the total labour hours; thus for an item involving a gang of 5 men each for 0.3 hours, the total labour hours would naturally be 1.5, whereas the Gang hours shown would be 0.3. This section is structured in such a manner as to provide the User with adequate background information on how the rates have been calculated, so as to allow them to be readily adjusted to suit other conditions to the example presented: □ alternative gang structures as well as the effect of varying bonus levels, travelling costs etc. □ Other types of plant or else different running costs from the medium usage presumed □ Other types of materials or else different discount/waste allowances from the levels presumed Reference to part 3 giving basic costs of labour, materials and plant together with Parts 12 and 13 will assist the reader in making adjustments to the unit costs.

GUIDANCE NOTES Generally Adjustments should be made to the rates shown for time, location, local conditions, site constraints and any other factors likely to affect the costs of a specific scheme. Method of Measurement Although this part of the book is primarily based on MMHW, the specific rules have been varied from in cases where it has been felt that an alternative presentation would be of value to the book’s main purpose of providing guidance on prices. This is especially so with a number of specialist contractors. Materials cost Materials costs within the rates have been calculated using the ‘list prices’ contained in part 3: Resources (pages 40 to 107), with an index appearing on page 39), adjusted to allow for delivery charges (if any) and a ‘reasonable’ level of discount obtainable by the contractor, this will vary very much depending on the contractor’s standing, the potential size of the order and the supplier’s eagerness and will vary also between raw traded goods such as timber which will attract a low discount of perhaps 3%, if at all, and manufactured goods where the room for bargaining is much greater and can reach levels of 30% to 40%. High demand for a product at the time of pricing can dramatically reduce the potential discount, as can the world economy in the case of imported goods such as timber and copper. Allowance has also been made for wastage on site (generally 21/2% to 5%) dependant upon the risk of damage, the actual level should take account of the nature of the material and its method of storage and distribution about the site. Labour cost The composition of the labour and type of plant is generally stated at the beginning of each section, more detailed Information on the calculation of the labour rates is given in part 3: Resources, pages 35 to 37. This should allow the user to see the cost impact of a different gang as well as different levels of bonus payments, allowances for skills and conditions, travelling allowances etc. The user should be aware that the output constants are based on the gangs shown and would also need to be changed. Plant cost A rate build-up of suitable plant is generally stated at the beginning of each section, with more detailed Information on alternative machines and their average fuel costs being given in part 3; Resources, pages 108 to 141. This should allow the user to see the cost

Unit costs (highway works)

365

impact of using alternative plant as well as different levels of usage (see note on page 111). The user should be aware that the output constants are based on the plant shown and would also need to be changed. Outputs The user is directed to part 12: Outputs (pages 527 to 539) which contains a selection of output constants, in particular a chart of production rates for Hydraulic backacters on page 529 and haulage times for various capacities of Tippers on page 532.

Unit costs (highway works)

m3/30 m3 Noise barriers Noise barriers consist of the erection of reflective or absorbant accoustical screening to reduce nuisance from noise. Due to the divergence in performance requirements and specification for various locations it is not practical to state all inclusive unit costs. Therefore advice should be sought from Specialist Contractors in order to obtain accurate costings. However listed below are examples of sample specification together with approximate costings in order to obtain budget prices. NB:- The following unit costs are based upon a 2.0 m high barrier Noise reflective barriers Barrier with architectural precast concrete panels and integral posts Barrier with accoustical timber planks post support system Sound Absorptive barriers Barrier with architectural precast wood fibre concrete panels and integral posts Barrier with perforated steel and mineral wool blankets in self-supporting system

SERIES 600: EARTHWORKS Gang Labour Plant Material Unit Total hours £ £ £ Net Rate £

GENERAL Notes The cost of earth moving and other associated works is dependent on matching the overall quantities and production rates called for by the programme of works with the most appropriate plant and assessing the most suitable version of that plant that will: □ deal with the site conditions (e.g. type of ground, type of excavation, length of haul, prevailing weather, etc.); □ comply with the specification requirements (e.g. compaction, separation of materials, surface tolerances, etc.); □ complete the work economically (e.g. provide surface tolerances which will avoid undue excessive thickness of expensive imported materials). Excavation rates

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

Unless stated the units for excavation in material other than topsoil rock or artificial hard materials are based on excavation in firm gravel soils. Factors for alternative types of soil: Multiply the rates by: Scrapers Tractor Backacters Dozers and (minimum bucket Loaders size 0.5 m3) Stiff clay 1.5 2.0 1.7 Chalk 2.5 3.0 2.0 Soft rock 3.5 2.5 2.0 Brocken 3.7 2.5 1.7 rock Disposal rates The other important consideration in excavation of material is bulkage of material after it is dug and loaded onto transport. All pricing and estimating for disposal is based on the volume of solid material excavated and rates for disposal should be adjusted by the following factors for bulkage: Sand bulkage ×1.10 Gravel bulkage ×1.20 Compacted soil ×1.30 buckage Compacted sub-base acceptable fill etc. ×1.30 bulkage Stiff clay bulkage ×1.20 Fill rates The price for filling presume the material being supplied in loose state.

Compaction of clay fill material in embankments and other areas of fill adjacent to structures above structural concrete foundations GEOTEXTILES Notes The geotextile products mentioned below are not specifically confined to the individual uses stated but are examples of one of many situations in which they may be applied. Conversely, these situations are not limited to the geotextile used as an example. The heavier grades of sheeting will need to be manipulated into place by machine (not allowed for below) and cutting would be by hacksaw rather than knife. Care should be taken in assessing the wastage of the more expensive sheeting. The prices include for preparing surfaces, overlaps and turnups, jointing and sealing, fixing material in place if required and reasonable waste between 5% and 10%. Stabilisation applications for reinforcement of granular sub-bases and capping layers placed over weak and variable soils. For use in weak soils with moderate traffic intensities e.g. light access roads: Tensar SS20 Polypropylene Geogrid horizontal

Item Supply and apply selective weed killer; PC £2.95/kg 35 grammes/m2 70 grammes/m2 100 grammes/m2 GROUND IMPROVEMENT—DYNAMIC COMPACTION Ground consolidation by dynamic compaction is a technique which involves the dropping of a steel or concrete pounder several times in each location in a grid pattern that covers the whole site. For a ground compaction of up to 10 m, a 15 t pounder with a free fall of 20 m would be typical. Several passes over the site are normally required to achieve full compaction. T ne process is recommended for naturally cohesive soils and is usually uneconomic for areas of less than 4000 m2, for sites with granular or mixed granular cohesive soils and 6000 m2 for a site with weak cohesive soils. The main considerations to be taken into account when using this method of consolidation are: □ sufficient area to be viable □ proximity and condition of adjacent property and services □ need for blanket layer of granular material for a working surface and as backfill to offset induced settlement □ water table level The final hearing capacity and settlement criteria i ne final bearing capacity and settlement criteria that can be achieved depends on the nature of the

Control testing can be by crater volume measurements, site levelling between passes, pentration tests or plate loading tests. The following range of costs are averages based on treating an area of about 10,000 m2 at 5–6 m compaction depth. Typical progress would be 1,500–2,000 m2 per week.

Crib walling consists of a rigid unit built of rectangular interlocking timber or precast concrete members forming a skeleton of cells laid on top of each other and filled with earth or rock. Prices for these items depend on quantity, difficulty of access to the site and availability of suitable filling material; estimates should be obtained from the manufacturer when the site conditions have been determined. The following are approximate estimates for guidance only: PRECAST CONCRETE Supply and construct crib wall of precast concrete crib units; dry jointed; Andacrib or similar system; excavation and foundation measured separately

SERIES 1600: PILING & DIAPHRAGM WALLING Gang Labour Plant Material hours £ £ £

GENERAL Notes There are a number of different types of piling which are available for use in differing situations. Selection of the most suitable type of piling for a particular site will depend on a number of factors including the physical conditions likely to be encountered during driving, the loads to be carried, the design of superstructure, etc.. The most commonly used systems are included in this section. It is essential that a thorough and adequate site investigation is carried out to ascertain details of the ground strata and bearing cpacities to enable a proper assessment to be made of the most suitable and economical type of piling to be adopted. There are so many factors, apart from design considerations, which influence the cost of piling that it is not possible to give more than an approximate indication of costs. To obtain reliable costs for a particular contract advice should be sought from a company specialising in the particular type of piling proposed. Some Specialist Contractors will also provide a design service if required. PRECAST CONCRETE PILES Driven precast reinforced concrete piles The following unit costs cover the installation of driven precast concrete piles by using a hammer acting on a shoe fitted onto or cast into the pile unit. The costs are based installing 100 piles of nominal sizes stated, and a concrete strength of 50 M/mm2 suitably reinforced for a working load not exceeding 600 kN, with piles average 15 m long, on a dear site with reasonable access. Single pile lengths are normally a maximum of 13 m long, at which point, a mechanical interlocking joint is required to extend the pile. These joints are most economically and practically formed at works. Lengths, sizes of sections, reinforcement details and concrete mixes vary for differing contractors, whose

Concrete injected piles (continuous flight augered) The following unit costs cover the construction of piles by screwing a continuous flight auger into the ground to a design depth (Determined prior to commencement of piling operations and upon which the rates are based and subsequently varied to actual depths.) Concrete is then pumped through the hollow stem of the auger to the bottom and the pile formed as the auger is withdrawn. Spoil is removed by the auger as it is withdrawn. This is a fast method of construction without causing disturbance or vibration to adjacent ground. No casing is required even in unsuitable soils. Reinforcement can be placed after grouting is complete. The costs are based on installing 100 piles on a clear site with reasonable access. Disposal of excavated material is included separately.

The following unit costs cover the construction of piles by driving a tube into the ground either by using an internal hammer acting on a gravel or concrete plug or, as is more usual, by using an external hammer on a driving helmet at the top of the tube. After driving to the required depth an enlarged base is formed by hammering out sucessive charges of concrete down the tube The tube is then filled with concrete which is compacted as the tube is vibrated and withdrawn. Piles of 350 to 500 mm diameter can be constructed with rakes up to 1 in 4 to carry working loads up to 120 t per pile. The costs are based on installing 100 piles of 430 mm nominal diameter, a concrete strength of 20 M/mm2 suitably reinforced for a working load not exceeding 750 kN, on a clear site with reasonable access.

STEEL TUBULAR PILES Steel tubular piles are commonly carried out by a Specialist Contractor and whose advice should be sought to arrive at accurate costings. However the following items can be used to assess a budget cost for each work. The following rates are guide prices only for the supply of NEW steel tubular piles. The pricing policy of British Steel is that these piles are “price upon application” per 100 metres. These guide prices are therefore based upon a PC of £575/ t to include for the purchase of the relevant section of the steel grade required together with allowances for load sizes, delivery charges, waste and projecting piles etc. and for greater accuracy, the actual supply price should be checked with the supplier and adjusted upon the £575/ t used. The following unit costs are based upon driving

PART 6 Unit Costs (Ancillary Building Works) INTRODUCTORY NOTES This part enables the user to include within the estimate for Ancillary Building Works which may be associated with a Civil \Engineering project but, because of the diversity which can occur in the Specification for these Works, cannot be priced as accurately as Unit. Cost Items. Additionally, as such works form only a minor percentage of an overall Civil Engineering Budget, then the need for such accuracy in the Budget is not as critical. Therefore, the rates given within this Part are based upon an average range for each item to allow the user discretionary use based upon more detailed knowledge of the specific project. Should however more detailed pricing information be required then reference should be made to the latest edition of: SPON’S ARCHITECTS’ AND BUILDERS’ PRICE BOOK SPON’S LANDSCAPE AND EXTERNAL WORKS PRICE BOOK SPON’S MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SERVICES PRICE BOOK Also included in this part are items which allow the user to prepare order of cost estimates for various areas of Civil Engineering Works more accurately than by using part 11: Approximate Estimates but without the necessity to complete a full unit cost estimate. Adjustment should be made to the rates shown for time, location, local conditions, site constraints and any other factors likely to affect the costs of a specific scheme.

PART 7 Oncosts and Profit In part 1 of this book, it is stressed that the cost information given in Parts 2 to 6 leads to a cost estimate that requires further adjustment before it is submitted as a tender. This part deals with those adjustments and includes a worked example of a Tender Summary.

RISK/OPPORTUNITY The factors to be taken into account when gauging the possibility of the Estimator’s prediction of cost being inadequate or excessive are given in part 2. Clearly it is

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

536

considered in parallel with profit and it is not possible to give any indicative guidance on the level of adjustment that might result. For the purpose of a preliminary estimate, it is suggested that no adjustment is made to the costs generated by the other parts of this book. At the same time as making a general appraisal of risk/opportunity, management will look at major quantities and may suggest amendments to the unit rates proposed.

HEAD OFFICE OVERHEADS An addition needs to be made to the nett estimate to cover all costs incurred in operating the central services provided by head office. Apart from general management and accountancy, this wil normally include the departments dealing with: estimating planning and design purchasing surveying insurance wages and bonus site safety.

The appropriate addition varies with the extent of services provided centrally, rather than on site, and with size of organisation, but a range of 4% to 8% on turnover would cover most circumstances. Some organisations would include finance costs with head office overheads, as a general charge to the company, but for the purposes of this book finance costs are treated separately (see below).

PROFIT Obviously, the level of profit is governed by the degree of competition applicable to the job—which is in turn a function of the industry’s current workload. Again, the appropriate addition is highly variable, but for the purposes of a preliminary estimate an addition of 2% to 5% onto nett turnover is suggested.

FINANCE COSTS—ASSESSMENT OF CONTRACT INVESTMENT The following procedure may be followed to give an indication of the average amount of capital investment required to finance the contract. It must be emphasised that this

Oncosts and profit

537

method will not give an accurate investment as this can only be done by preparing a detailed cash flow related to the programme for the contract. The example is based on the same theoretical contract used for the worked example in part 2 and should be read in conjunction with the Tender Summary that follows. The average monthly income must first be assessed. This is done by deducting from the Tender total the contingency items and those items for which immediate payment is necessary. £ £ Tender total (excluding finance at £68030+5% employer’s contingencies) 5,850,500 Deduct Subcontractors 1,070,000 Prime cost sums 21,000 Employer’s contingencies (excluding 5% on finance) 283,090 1,374,090 Amount to be financed £ 4,476,410

The average monthly income is this sum (£4,476,410) divided by the contract period (12 months), that is, £373,034. The average contract investment may now be calculated as follows : £ £ Plant and equipment to be purchased Non time related Contractor Employer Other services, charges and fees

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

538

The interest charges that must be added to the Tender price (or absorbed from profit if capital needs to be borrowed) are therefore: £657,553×say 12% ×1 year = say £ 78,906

Notes [1] These non time related oncosts and services are incurred as lump sums during the contract and, therefore, only 50% of such costs are taken for investment purposes [2] This period depends on the terms of payment set out in the contract. [3] Retention is deducted as full retention is taken into account later. [4] Average retention will depend on the retention condition set out in the contract, account any partial completion dates. [5] The contractor assesses here any financial advantage he may obtain by varying his items.

VALUE ADDED TAX All of the figures quoted in this book exclude value added tax, which the conditions of contract normally make the subject of a separate invoicing procedure between the contractor and the employer. Value Added Tax will be chargeable at the standard rate, currently 17 1/2%, on supplies of services in the course of: 1. The construction of a non-domestic building 2. The construction or demolition of a civil engineering work 3. The demolition of any building, and 4. The approved alteration of a non-domestic protected building Visitwww.pricebooks.co.uk

PART 8 Costs and Tender Prices Indices The purpose of this part is to present historic changes in Civil Engineering costs and tender prices. It gives published and constructed indices and diagrammatic comparisons between building and Civil Engineering costs and tender prices and the retail price index, and will provide a basis for updating historical cost or tender price information.

Costs and tender prices indices

541

INTRODUCTION It is important to distinguish between costs and tender prices; Civil Engineering costs are the costs incurred by a Contractor in the course of his business; Civil Engineering tender prices are the prices for which a Contractor undertakes work. Tender prices will be based on Contractor’s costs but will also take into account market considerations such as the availability of labour and materials and the prevailing workload for Civil Engineering

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

542

Contractors. This can mean that in a period when work is scarce tender prices may fall as costs are rising while when there is plenty of work prices will tend to increase at a faster rate than costs. This section comprises published Civil Engineering cost and tender indices, a constructed Civil Engineering cost index and comparisons of these with building cost and tender indices and with the retail price index.

PRICE ADJUSTMENT FORMULA INDICES Cost indices for labour, plant and materials in Civil Engineering work are compiled and maintained by the Construction Sponsorship Directorate (DETR) as Technical Secretariat to the Working Group on Building and Civil Engineering Indices. They are published in a monthly bulletin.formerly by HMSO, now by Tudorseed Construction, and are reproduced here with permission. Details of Tudorseed Construction, to whom enquiries concerning sales and subscriptions should be addressed, are given below. These indices were formerly known as NEDO or ‘Baxter’ indices. The original 1970 Series comprises 14 indices derived from Government sources. Two of them, DERV fuel (index 8) and Metal Sections (index 11B), are little used and a further two, indices 12 and 13, represent materials and labour specifically for structural steelwork. In December 1994 a new Series of indices was introduced, with 15 indices, including the new categories of ready Mixed Concrete (6), Plastic Products (8) and Sheet Steel Piling (15). The 1970 Series and the 1990 Series continue to be published in tandem. The reference numbers and titles are listed below. Quarterly values of the 1970 Series (excluding Indices 8 and 11B) are tabulated overleaf: Index 1970 Series Title Index 1990 Series Title nr nr 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11A 11B 12 13

A CONSTRUCTED COST INDEX BASED ON THE PRICE ADJUSTMENT FORMULA INDICES Although the above indices are prepared and published in order to provide a common basis for calculating reimbursement of increased costs during the course of a contract, they also present time series of cost indices for the main components of Civil Engineering work. They can therefore be used as the basis of an index for Civil Engineering work. The method used here is to construct a composite index by allocating weightings to each of the 10 indices, the weightings being established from an analysis of actual projects. The composite index is calculated by applying these weightings to the appropriate price adjustment formula indices and totalling the results; this index is again presented with a base date of 1970.

THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION TENDER PRICE INDEX Civil Engineering work generally does not lend itself easily to the preparation of tender price indices in the same way as building work. There is, however, a published index for road construction tender prices (available on subscription from the Department of the Environment Transport and the Regions) and this is reproduced below with the permission of HMSO. The index is produced by the Department of the Environment Transport and the Regions and is intended to indicate the movement in tender prices for road construction contracts. It is based on priced rates contained in accepted tenders for Road Construction, Motorway Widening and Major Maintenance Schemes costing over £0.25 m. It is published with a base of 1995=100.

PART 9 Daywork

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

548

INTRODUCTION Daywork ordered by the Engineer pursuant to clause 52(3) of the ICE Conditions of Contract is normally paid for at the rates and prices and under the conditions contained in the “Schedule of Dayworks carried out incidental to contract work” issued by the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors, current at the date of execution of the Daywork. The most recent schedules are those dated 1 July 1998 with Amendments 1 and 2 dated 6 May 1999 and 24 May 1999 respectively, published by the Civil Engineering Contractors Federation. Copies may be obtained from: CIVIL ENGINEERING CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION Construction House 56–64 Leonard Street London EC2A 4JX Tel: 0171 608 5060 Fax: 0171 608 5061 These schedules identify a number of items that are excluded from the rates and percentages quoted, but should be recovered by the Contractor when valuing his Daywork account. Under normal circumstances it is impractical to accurately value these items for each Daywork event, although certain items can be allowed for by means of a percentage addition. Suggested methods of calculating such additions are includedin this section. In Summary the Daywork schedule allows for an addition:of 148% to wages paid to workmen of 88% to labour only sub-contractors and hired plant drivers of 12.5% to subsistence allowances and travel paid to workmen of 12.5% to materials used on dayworks of 12.5% to full cost of plant hired for dayworks of 12.5% to cost of operating welfare facilities of 12.5% to cost of additional insurance premiums for abnormal contract work or special conditions.

Part 3 of this book (Resources—Plant) includes detailed references to the plant section of the 1998 daywork schedule.

1. GENERAL SERVICING OF PLANT Schedule 4.1 specifically excludes time spent on general servicing from the Hire Rates. General servicing in this context can be assumed to mean: □ Checking, replenishing (or changing, if applicable) l.e. engine lubrication transmission lubrications general greasing coolants hydraulic oils and brake systems filters tyres Inspecting special items eg. buckets hoses/airlines shank protecters cables/ropes/hawsers rippers blades, steels, etc

Assuming an 8 hour working day these operations could take a plant operator on average: large machine 20 minutes per day (equating to 1 hour for each 24 worked) medium machine 10 minutes per day (equating to 1 hour for each 48 worked) □ small machine 5 minutes per day (equating to 1 hour for each 96 worked)

In cost terms, these represent: large machine £11.04/hr÷24 hrs=£0.46 □ medium machine £8.97/hr ÷48 hrs=£0.19 □ small machine £8.17/hr÷96 hrs=£0.09

These labour costs can be expressed as a percentage of the schedule hire rates: D8 Dozer =£0.46÷£66.51×100 = 0.7% JCB 3CX =£0.19÷£12.56×100 =1.5% □ 1 tonne dumper =£0.09÷£2.79×100 = 3.2%

Considering the range of these sizes of plant which are normally deployed on site, the following would provide a reasonable average percentage addition : 0.7%×2=1.4% 1.5%×3=4.5% 3.2%×6=19.2% Total=25.1 % for 11 items of plant—average=2.3%

2. FUEL DISTRIBUTION Schedule 4.3 allows for charging for fuel distribution. Assuming this is done with a towed fuel bowser behind a farm type tractor with driver/labourer in attendance, the operation cycle would involve visiting, service, and return or continue onto the next machine. The attendance cost based on the hourly rate tractor/bowser/driver would be: =£10.57+£0.47+£8.17=£19.21 Example A heavy item of plant, for example a Cat D8N Tractor Bulldozer with a 212 kW engine □ Fuel consumption is 30.4 litres/hr (38 litres/hr×80% site utilisation factor) □ Fuel capacity is 200 litres □ Requires filling after 6.5 working hours operation (200 litres divided by 30.40 l/hr). □ Tractor/bowser service taking 30 minutes The machine cost during this 6.5 hr period would be £66.51×6.5, i.e. £ 432.32 The attendance cost for the 30 min cycle would be £19.21×0.5, i.e. £9.61 The percentage addition for fuelling the machine would be £9.61÷£432.32×100=2.2% Example. A medium sized item of plant, for example a JCB 3CX □ Fuel consumption is 5.6 litres/hr (7.5 litres/hr×75% site utilisation factor) a Fuel capacity is 90 litres Requires filling after 16 working hours operation (90 litres divided by 5.60 l/hr). Tractor/bowser service taking 10 minutes The machine cost during this 16 hr period would be £12.56×16, i.e. £ 200.96 The attendance cost for the 10 min cycle would be £19.21×0.17, i.e. £3.27 The percentage addition for fuelling the machine would be £3.27÷£200.96×100=1.6% Example. A small item of plant, for example a 2 tonne dumper: Fuel consumption is 2.4 litres/hr (3 litres/hr×80% site utilisation factor) □ Fuel capacity is 35 litres Requires filling after 14.5 working hours operation (35 litres divided by 2.4 l/hr). □ Tractor/bowser service taking 5 minutes The machine cost during this 14.5 hr period would be £2.79×14.5, i.e. £40.46 The attendance cost for the 5 min cycle would be £19.21×.08, i.e. £1.54 The percentage addition for fuelling the machine would be £1.54 ÷£54.41×100=2.8%

Considering the range of these categories of plant which are normally deployed on site, the following would provide a reasonable average percentage addition

3. WELFARE FACILITIES Schedule 3.3 allows for the net cost of operating these facilities plus 12.5% This is an example of how these costs may be charged to the Daywork account on an 12 month, £5.8m Civil Engineering scheme, where the total labour element is £1,050,000. Facility Weekly Cost £ Jack Leg toilet unit (2) Wheeled cabin 22' Wheeled cabin 12' Labour to clean, maintain and make tea, etc 1 man, 2 hours per day, 6 days×£6.20 Consumables (heat, light, soap, disinfectant, etc) say Rates, insurance, taxes, etc (add 2%) Total weekly cost Multiply by 50 weeks (construction period) plus 6 weeks (maintenance period) Total cost to contract Thus cost as a percentage of the Labour element of the contract= Add, as schedule 3.3 Percentage addition for facilities

0.2 =1.4%

4. HANDLING AND OFFLOADING MATERIALS Schedule 2.3 states that an allowance for handling materials, and an allowance for unloading or storage including wastage should be an additional charge. Example, For a 12 month, £5.8m Civil Engineering scheme where the total cost of materials that require handling (excluding Ready Mix concrete, imported fills, fuels and similar items) is £1,900,000 The following gang is employed (part time) throughout the contract for offloading and handling of materials. Net cost £ 2 labourers 15.36 Lorry (8T) with Hiab lift 15.58 £ 30.94/hour

Allow an average of 5 hours per week over 50 weeks 250 hours @ £30.94/hour=£ 7,735.00 This cost as a percentage of the materials element of the contract

Material waste should be added direct to the cost of materials used for each particular Daywork items as an appropriate percentage.

Comparisons Instead of the previous arrangement of having different agreements designed for each major discipline of engineering, these new agreements have been developed primarily to suit the different roles that Consulting Engineers may be required to perform, with variants of some of them for different disciplines. The agreements have been standardised as far as possible whilst retaining essential differences. Greater attention is required than with previous agreements to ensure the documents are completed properly. This is because of the perceived need to allow for a wider choice of arrangements, particularly of methods of payment.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

554

The agreements are not intended to be used as unsigned reference material with the details of an engagement being covered in an exchange of letters, although much of their content could be used as a basis for drafting such correspondence. Forms of Agreement The initial agreements are for use where a Consulting Engineer is engaged as follows: Agreement as a Lead Consultant Agreement directly by the Client, but not as Lead Consultant Agreement to provide design services for a design and construct Contractor Agreement to provide Report and Advisory Services Agreement as a Project Manager Agreement as Planning Supervisor in accordance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994

Each of Agreements A, B and C are published in two variants Variant 1 Civil and Structural Engineering Variant 2 The Engineering of Electrical and Mechanical Services in Buildings

Each agreement comprises the following: Memorandum of Agreement Conditions of Engagement Appendix I—Services of the Consulting Engineer Appendix II—Remuneration of the Consulting Engineer

Memorandum of Agreement There is a different memorandum for each agreement, reflecting in each instance the particular relationships between the parties. It is essential that the memorandum be fully completed. Spaces are provided for entry of important and specific details relevant to each commission, such as nominated individuals, limits of liability, requirements for professional indemnity insurance, the frequency of site visits and meetings, and requirements for collateral warranties. All the memoranda are arranged for execution under hand; some also have provision for execution as deeds. Conditions of Engagement These have been standardised as far as possible and thus contain much that is common between the agreements, but parts differ and are peculiar to individual agreements to reflect the responsibilities applying. The conditions can normally stand as drafted but

Professional fees

555

clauses may be deleted and others be added should the circumstances so require for a particular commission. Appendix I—Services This appendix, which has significant differences between the agreements and variants, describes the services to be performed. These services include both standard Normal Services, the majority of which will usually be required, and standard Additional Services of which only some will be required. Standard Normal Services may be deleted if not required or not relevant to a particular commission; further Services, both Normal and Additional may be added in spaces provided. It may be agreed in advance, when known that certain of the Additional Services will clearly be required, that these will be treated and paid for as Normal Services for a particular commission. Appendix II—Remuneration/Fees and Disbursements This appendix provides alternate means of assessing the consulting engineer’s fees and disbursements. It identifies, when completed, which of those services listed in Appendix I are to be performed within the overall fee applicable for Normal Services. Figures need to be entered on such details as time charge rates, fee percentages and interest rates on delayed payments. Alternatives which do not apply require deletion and those remaining completion, so that the appendix when incorporated within an engagement contract describes the exact arrangements applicable to that commission. Collateral Warranties The association is convinced that collateral warranties are generally unnecessary and should only be used in exceptional circumstances. The interests of clients, employers and others are better protected by taking out project or BUILD type latent defects insurance. nevertheless, in response to observations raised when the pilot editions excluded any mention of warranties, references and arrangements have been included in the Memorandum and elsewhere by which Consulting Engineers may agree to enter into collateral warranty agreements; these should however only be given when the format and requirements thereof have been properly defined and recorded in advance of undertaking the commission. Requirements for the provision of collateral warranties will be justified even less with commissions under Agreement D than with those under the other ACE agreements. Occasional calls may be made for them, such as when a client intends to dispose of property and needs evidence of a duty of care being owed to specific third parties, but these will be few and far between.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

556

Remuneration Guidance on appropriate levels of fees to be charged is given at the end of each agreement. Firms and their clients may use this or other sources, including their own records, to determine suitable fee arrangements. Need for formal documentation The Association of Consulting Engineers recommends that formal written documentation should be executed to record the details of each commission awarded to a Consulting Engineer. These Conditions are published as model forms of agreement suitable for the purpose. However, even if these particular Conditions are not used, it is strongly recommended that, whenever a Consulting Engineer is appointed, there should be at least an exchange of letters defining the duties to be performed and the terms of payment. Appointments outside the United Kingdom These conditions of Engagement are designed for use within the UK. For work overseas it is impracticable to give definite recommendations; circumstances differ too widely between countries. There are added complications in documentation relating to local legislation, import customs, conditions of payment, insurance, freight, etc. Furthermore, it is often necessary to arrange for visits to be made by principals and senior staff whose absence abroad during such periods represents a serious reduction of their earning power. The additional duties, responsibilities and non-recoverable costs involved, and the extra work on general coordination, should be reflected in the levels of fees. Special arrangements are also necessary to cover travelling and other out-of-pocket expenses in excess of those normally incurred on similar work in the UK, including such matters as local cost-of-living allowances and the cost of providing home-leave facilities for expatriate staff.

CONDITIONS OF ENGAGEMENT Obligations The following is a brief summary of the conditions of engagement. It is recommended that reference should be made to the full document of the Association of Consulting Engineers Conditions of Engagement, 1995 before making an engagement. Obligations of the Consulting Engineer The responsibilities of the Consultant Engineer for the works are as set out in the actual agreement The various standard clauses in the Conditions relate to such matters as differentiating between Normal and Additional services, the duty to exercise skill and

557

care, the need for Client’s written consent to the assignment or transfer of any benefit or obligation of the agreement, the rendering of advice if requested on the appointment of other consultants and specialist sub- consultants, any recommendations for design of any part of the Works by Contractors or Sub-contractors (with the proviso that the Consulting Engineer is not responsible for detailed design of contractors or for defects or omissions in such design), the designation of a Project Leader, the need for timeliness in requests to the Client for information etc., freezing the design once it has been given Client approval and the specific exclusion of any duty to advise on the actual or possible presence of pollution or contamination or its consequences. Obligations of the Client The Consultant Engineer shall be supplied with all necessary data and information in good time. The Client shall designate a Representative authorised to make decisions on his behalf and ensure that all decisions, instructions, and approvals are given in time so as not to delay or disrupt the Consultant Engineer. Site Staff The Consulting Engineer may employ site staff he feels are required to perform the task, subject to the prior written agreement of the Client. The Client shall bear the cost of local office accommodation, equipment and running costs. Commencement, Determination, Postponement, Disruption and Delay The Consulting Engineer’s appointment commences at the date of the execution of the Memorandum of Agreement or such earlier date when the Consulting Engineer first commenced the performance of the Services, subject to the right of the Client to determine or postpone all or any of the Services at any time by Notice. The Client or the Consulting Engineer may determine the appointment in the event of a breach of the Agreement by the other party after two weeks notice. In addition, the Consulting Engineer may determine his appointment after two weeks notice in the event of the Client failing to make proper payment. The Consulting Engineer may suspend the performance of all or any of the Services for up to twenty-six weeks if he is prevented or significantly impeded from performance by circumstances outside his control. The appointment may be determined by either party in the event of insolvency subject to the issue of notice of determination. Payments The Client shall pay fees for the performance of the agreed service(s) together with all fees and charges to the local or other authorities for seeking and obtaining statutory permissions, for all site staff on a time basis, together with additional payments for any

558

variation or the disruption of the Consulting Engineer’s work due to the Client varying the task list or brief or to delay caused by the Client, others or unforseeable events. If any part of any invoice submitted by the Consulting Engineer is contested, payment shall be made in full of all that is not contested. Payments shall be made within 28 days of the date of the Consulting Engineer’s invoice; interest shall be added to all amounts remaining unpaid thereafter. Ownership of Documents and Copyright The Consulting Engineer retains the copyright in all drawings, reports, specifications, calculations etc. prepared in connection with the Task; with the agreement of the Consulting Engineer and subject to certain conditions, the Client may have a licence to copy and use such intellectual property solely for his own purpose on the Task in hand, subject to reservations. The Consulting Engineer must obtain the client’s permission before he publishes any articles, photographs or other illustrations relating to the Task, nor shall he disclose to any person any information provided by the Client as private and confidential unless so authorised by the Client. Liability, Insurance and Warranties The liability of the Consulting Engineer is defined, together with the duty of the Client to indemnify the Consulting Engineer against all claims etc. in excess of the agreed liability limit. The Consulting Engineer shall maintain Professional Indemnity Insurance for an agreed amount and period at commercially reasonable rates, together with Public Liability Insurance and shall produce the brokers’ certificates for inspection to show that the required cover is being maintained as and when requested by the Client. The Consulting Engineer shall enter into and provide collateral warranties for the benefit of other parties if so agreed. Disputes and Differences Provision is made for mediation to solve disputes, subject to a time limit of six weeks of the appointment of the mediator at which point it should be referred to an independent adjudicator. Further action could be by referring the dispute to an arbitrator.

Summary of Scale of Professional Charges Scale No 38. issued by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors provides an itemised scale of professional charges for Quantity Surveying Services for Civil Engineering Works which is summarised as follows: 1.0. Generally 1.1. The Scale of professional charges is applicable where the contract provides for the bills of quantities and final account to be based on measurements prepared in accordance with or based on the principles of the Standard Method of Measurement of Civil Engineering Quantities issued by the Institution of Civil Engineers. 1.2. The fees are in all cases exclusive of travelling and other expenses (for which the actual disbursement is recoverable unless there is some prior arrangement for such charges) and of the cost of reproduction of bills of quantities and other documents, which are chargeable in addition at net cost. 1.3. The fees are in all cases exclusive of services in connection with the allocation of the cost of the works for purposes of calculating value added tax for which there shall be an additional fee based on the time involved. 1.4. If any of the materials used in the works are supplied by the employer or charged at a preferential rate, then the actual or estimated market value thereof shall be included in the amounts upon which fees are to be calculated. 1.5. The fees are in all cases exclusive of preparing a specification of the materials to be used and the works to be done. 1.6. If the quantity surveyor incurs additional costs due to exceptional delays in construction operations or any other cause beyond the control of the quantity surveyor then the fees may be adjusted by agreement between the employer and the quantity surveyor. 1.7. If the works are substantially varied at any stage or if the quantity surveyor is involved in abortive work there shall be an additional fee based on the time involved. 1.8. The fees and charges are in all cases exclusive of value added tax which will be applied in accordance with legislation. 1.9. The scale is not intended to apply to works of a civil engineering nature which form a subsidiary part of a building contract or to buildings which are ancillary to a civil engineering contract. In these cases the fees to be charged for quantity surveying services shall be in accordance with the scales applicable to building works.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

560

1.10. When works of both categories I* and II** are included in one contract the fee to be charged shall be calculated by taking the total value of the sections of work in each of the categories and applying the appropriate scale from the beginning in each case. General items such as preliminaries (and in the case of post contract fees contract price fluctuations) or sections of works which cannot be specifically allocated to either category shall be apportioned pro-rata to the values of the other sections of the works and added thereto in order to ascertain the total value of works in each category. 1.11. When a project is the subject of a number of contracts then, for the purpose of calculating fees, the value of such contracts shall not be aggregated but each contract shall be taken separately and the scale of charges applied as appropriate. 1.12. Roads, railways, earthworks and dredging which are ancillary only to any Category II** work shall be regarded as Category II** work. Works or sections of works of Category I* which incorporate piled construction shall be regarded as Category II** works. * Category I. ** Category II.

Works or sections of works such as monolithic walls for quays, jetties, dams and reservoirs; caissons; tunnels; airport runways and tracks; roads; railways; and earthworks and dredging. Works or sections of works such as piled quay walls; suspended jetties and quays; bridges and their abutments; culverts; sewers; pipe lines; electric mains; storage and treatment tanks; water cooling towers; and structures for housing heavy industrial and public utility plant, e.g., furnace houses and rolling mills to steel works; and boiler houses, reactor blocks and turbine halls to electricity generating stations.

1.13 No addition to the fees given hereunder shall be made in respect of works of alteration or repair where such works are incidental to the new works. If the work covered by a single contract is mainly one of alteration or repair then an additional fee shall be negotiated. 1.14. In the absence of agreement to the contrary, payments to the quantity surveyor shall be made by instalments by arrangement between the employer and the quantity surveyor. 1.15. Copyright in bills of quantities and other documents prepared by the quantity surveyor is reserved to the quantity surveyor. Scale of charges For the full Scale of Fees for Professional Charges for Quantity Surveying Services together with a detailed description of the full service provided the appropriate RICS Fee Scale should be consulted.

PART 11 Approximate Estimates

1. INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AND CIVIL ENGINEERING FACILITIES Prices given under this heading are average prices on a ‘fluctuating basis’ for typical buildings based on the second quarter 2000 tender price level index of 366 (1976=100).

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

562

Unless otherwise stated, prices do not allow for external works, furniture, loose or special equipment and are, of course, exclusive of fees for professional services. Prices are based upon the total floor area of all storeys, measured between external walls and without deduction for internal walls, columns, stairwells, liftwells and the like. As in previous editions it is emphasised that the prices must be treated with reserve in that they represent the average of prices from our records and cannot provide more than a rough guide to the probable cost of a building or structure. In many instances normal commercial pressures together with a limited range of available specifications ensure that a single rate is sufficient to indicate the prevailing average price. However, where such restrictions do not apply a range has been given; this is not to suggest that figures outside this range will not be encountered, but simply that the calibre of such a type of building can itself vary significantly. As elsewhere in this edition, prices do not include Value Added Tax, which should be applied at the current rate to all non-domestic building.

SURFACE CAR PARKS Surface car parking is the cheapest way of providing car parking. The cost of rooftop or basement car parking can be 10 to 15 times the cost of the surface car parking. The vogue in car parking for all except industrial schemes is for concrete block pavers, with different colours marking out parking bays and zones. Grasscrete is an alternative but is not usually used for main parking areas. Guideline figures for parking requirements are shown below: one car space per: offices 22 to 25 m2 gross floor area industrial—factories 45 to 55 m2 gross floor area —warehouses 200 m2 gross floor area shops 20 to 25 m2 gross floor area superstores 10 m2 gross floor area cinemas, theatres 3 to 5 seats hospital 3 hospital beds residential 1 to 2 dwellings

For surface level car parking the area required per car will not generally show much variation. Site shape, position of the building on the site, and parking configuration will be the main determinants of the area to be allowed per car, however, a fairly low range of 20–23 m2 per car will usually be sufficient. Typical costs for surface car parking including lighting and drainage are illustrated below: £/m2 £/car Tarmacadam surfaced, marked out with thermoplastic road paint Interlocking or herringbone concrete block paving, marked out with coloured blocks Grasscrete precast concrete units filled with top soil and grass seeded

Note: Costs include forecourts, aprons and access areas but not approach roads. SERVICES Costs of services to a site are built up of connection charges and service runs. This can vary significantly depending upon the availability or otherwise of a suitably sized main in the neighbourhood of the site. However, typical service charges for an estate of 200 houses might be as follows:Charge per house £ Water Electric

The following are guideline costs for the hire and erection of proprietary scaffold systems, (tube and coupling) costs are very general and are based on a minimum area of 360 m2 at 1.80 m deep. £ 1. Approximate hire (supply and fix) of patent scaffold per 4 week (cost dependant m2 4.00 to upon length of hire, quality of system, number of toe boards handrails etc.) 5.30 Based on this a typical cost of a 60×10 m (600 m2) area for 8 weeks would be about £4,200. 2. Approximate hire (supply and fix of mobile access towers per 4 week hire m2 13.60 to 20.40 (refer also to plant hire in Section 3) 3. Additional costs of Pole ladder access, per 4.0 m high, per 4 week nr 5.10 to 5.85 57.25 4. Additional cost of stair towers extra over the cost of scaffold system per 2 m rise, m2 per 4 week 5. Additional cost of hoarding around base perimeter (using multi use ply sheeting) m2 0.80 to 1.40 per 4 week period 0.15 6. Additional cost of polythene debris netting (no re-use) m2 7. Additional cost of Monaflex ‘T’ plus weatherproof sheeting including anchors and m2 0.75 straps (based on 3 uses)

Erection of scaffolding system is based on 3 men erecting a 16 m2 bay in about 1 hour and dismantling the same in 20 minutes. (i.e. experienced scaffolders) Note: Although scaffolding is essentially plant hire, allowance must be made for inevitable loss and damage to fittings, for consumables used and for maintenance during hire periods.

Manhours include round trip for tipper and driver together with attendant labour for positioning during loading and turning/discharging. The number of cycles are based on the stated heaped capacity of the tipper divided into the total volume of 100 m3 to be moved being multiplied by a bulking factor of 1.30 to the loose soil volume. The average speeds are calculated assuming that the vehicles run on roads or on reasonably level firm surfaces, and allow for acceleration and deceleration with the return empty journey being say 10% faster than the haul. The cycle time shows in detail the time spent being loaded (calculated using a 1.5 m3 loader with a cycle time of 22 seconds), haul journey, discharge (turning/manoeuvring/tipping) and return journey.

Trapezoidal Rule

601

The Volume can be calculated by the same formula, but by substituting the area of each co-ordinate rather than its length. A given trench is divided into two equal sections, giving three ordinates, the first, the middle and the last.

where S=width of the strips A=area of the first section B=area of the last section C=area of the rest of the sections Prismoidal Rule A given trench is divided into two equal sections, giving three ordinates, the first, the middle and the last. where L=total length of trench A=area of the first section B=area of the middle section C=area of the last section
