Preface In this larger and easier to read format for the book, we have taken the opportunity to review and update the content of the book generally as well as continuing with further updating of Part 5 to take into account the revisions in the Method of Measurement for Highway Works. We have carried out a general revision of all prices up to May/June 2003 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 £2 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 7 and Part 12, 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 3 supplemented by the further advice on output factors in Part 13. The Unit Costs sections (Parts 4, 5 and 7) 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 information is constantly being re-appraised 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 xiii.

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.

PART 1 General

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: Land Remediation Part 7: Unit Costs (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 8: 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 9: 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 1983. Part 10: Daywork Including details of the CECA daywork schedule and advice on costing excluded items. Part 11: Professional Fees These contain reference to standard documentation relating to professional fees for Consulting Engineers and Quantity Surveyors. Part 12: 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 13: 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 14: Tables and Information These include conversion tables, formulae, and a series of reference tables structured around trade headings. Part 15: 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 8. 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.

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 □ 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 33–37) □ 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 (see page 119–148) □ 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

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

12

□ availability of adequate and suitable labour 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 8: 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. 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 8: 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 quantity of 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

17

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.’ 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 7½% and 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

27

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 property (not owned or under the control of the company), obstruction, trespass or the like.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

28

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 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 30th June 2003. 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.1) The basic and additional hourly rates of pay are: Labourer/General Operative Skill Rate 4 Skill Rate 3 Skill Rate 2 Skill Rate 1 Craft Operative

£5.77 £6.21 £6.59 £7.04 £7.30 £7.67

Plus Rates for Skill (Rule WR.1.2.2) These are incorporated in the tiered rate structure, the application of which is explained in Schedule 1 of the WRA. In addition to the Basic Rate of Pay, skilled operatives who carry out skilled work as defined in Schedule 1 are entitled to an additional payment per hour as the following scale: Extra £/hr i £0.24 ii £0.85 iii £1.40

Excavator, bucket capacity 30.57 m3 Excavator, bucket capacity 15.28 m3–30.57 m3 Excavator, bucket capacity 7.65 m3–15.28 m3

Additional Payment (Rule WR.1.4) The WRA recognises an entitlement to additional payments to operatives employing intermittent skill, responsibility orworking in adverse conditions, for each hour so engaged as defined in Schedule 2 as follows: Extra £/hr A £0.15 Tunnels Operatives (other than Tunnel Machine Operators, Tunnel Miners and Tunnel Miners’ Mates) wholly or mainly

engaged in work of actual construction including the removal and dumping of mined materials but excluding operatives whose employment in the tunnel is occasional and temporary B £0.24 Sewer Operatives working within a totally Work enclosed active surface water sewer of any nature or condition C £0.32 Sewer Operatives working outside existing Work sewers excavating or removing foul materials emanating from existing sewers C £0.32 Working Operatives (including drivers of tower at height cranes, but excluding the drivers of power driven derricks on high stages and linesmen-erectors and their mates and scaffolders) employed on “detached work” D £0.37 Sewer within a totally enclosed active foul Work sewer of any nature or condition E £0.56 Stone Operatives other than craft operatives cleaning dry-cleaning stonework by mechanical process for the removal of protective material and/or discolouration

BASIS OF THIS SECTION Bonus (Rule WR.2) The Working Rule leaves it open to employers and employees to agree bonus scheme. Based on measured output and productivity for any operation or operations on a job. 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. The working hours for operatives working shifts are 8 hours per weekday, 40 hours per week. Rest/Meal Breaks (Rule WR.3.1) Times fixed by the employer, not to exceed 1 hour per day in aggregate, including a meal break of not less than half an hour. 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.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

42

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 81 p to £6.21 for Travelling Allowance (taxed) and £3.02 to £10.86 for Fare Allowance (not taxed). For the one way distance of 15 km used in the following example, we have presumed a rate of £3.02 with effect from 30th June 2003. Rotary Shift Working (Rule WR.6) This relates to the situation where more than one shift of minimum 8 hours is worked on a job in a 24 hour period, and the operative rotates between the shifts either in the same or different pay weeks. The basic rate shall be the operatives normal hourly rate plus 14%. Overtime beyond the 8 hour shift shall be at time and a half for the first 4 hours at normal rate plus 14%, thereafter double normal rate. Night Work (Rule WR.7) Providing night work is carried out by a separate gang from those working during daytime, an addition of 25% shall be paid on top of the normal hourly rate. Overtime payments: during the period of Monday to Friday, the first 4 hours after normal working day is paid at time and a half plus the 25% addition of normal hourly rate, after 4 hours double time shall be paid. All hours worked on Saturday and all Sunday at double time. Tide Work (Rule WR.9) Where the operative is also employed on other work during the day, additional time beyond the normal working day shall be paid in accordance with the rules for overtime payments. Where the operative is solely involved in work governed by tidal conditions, he shall be paid a minimum of 6 hours at normal rates for each tide. Payment for hours worked in excess of 8 over two tides shall be calculated proportionately

Work done after 4 pm Saturday and during Sunday shall be at double time. Operatives are guaranteed 8 hours at ordinary rate for any time worked between 4 pm and midnight on Saturdays and 16 hours for two tides worked on a Sunday. Tunnel Work (Rule WR.10) The first part of a shift equivalent to the length of the normal working day shall be paid at the appropriate normal rate, the first four hours thereafter at time and a half and thereafter at double time. In the case of shifts on a Saturday, the first 4 hours are at time and a half, thereafter at double time. All shifts on a Sunday at double time. Saturday shifts extending

Basis of this section

43

into Sunday are at double time. Sunday shifts extending into Monday, time after midnight: first 4 hours at time and a half, thereafter at double time. Subsistence Allowance (Rule WR.15) The 2002 allowance of £22.43 will increase to £25.00 per night with effect from 30th June 2003. 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 and the labour cost calculation assumes 21 days (4.2 weeks) annual and 8 days (1.6weeks) public holidays.

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 overleaf for six categories of labour reflecting the different classifications set out in the WRA. AVERAGE WORKING WEEK has been calculated to an equal balance between winter and summer (46.20 working weeks per year). SUBSISTENCE 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 Subsistence Payments. BONUS PAYMENTS reflect current average payments in the industry. WORKING HOURS & NON-PRODUCTIVE OVERTIME are calculated thus:

BASIC MATERIAL PRICES This section comprises a price list for materials which assumes that the materials would be in quantities as required for a medium sized civil engineering project of say, £5–6 million and the location of the works would be neither city centre nor excessively remote. The material prices have been obtained from manufacturers and suppliers and are generally those prevailing at the time of preparing this edition (May/June 2003). They are given for the units in which the materials are sold, which may not necessarily be the unit used in the Unit Costs sections. In effect these prices reflect the normal ‘list price’; there are NO adjustments for the following: □ waste or loss or any offloading or distribution charges, unless specifically noted, □ trade discounts pertinent to the market, type of work involved and the relationship between contractor and supplier. In addition, all prices quoted throughout this book are exclusive of Value Added Tax. This section comprises: Page bar and fabric reinforcement

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. Refer to section dealing with th Aggregate Tax on page 701. The above costs exclude the tax

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. To an extent they will serve as a guide to prevailing commercial plant hire rates, but be aware that 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 the depot. Rates could be higher due to short term hire, high production demands, low utilisation factors, specialist operations, restricted working and restricted accessibility problems, high profit or overhead demands and 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 an other considerations must be borne in mind if using these costs as a comparison to hire rates especially operated plant. All rates quoted EXCLUDE the following: □ Cost of drivers/operators □ VAT

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 estimate the charges to be made for each item of plant. For this reason, where a

Plant

141

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 □ Administration, head office, depot and other overhead charges PLANT Calculated examples of hourly owning costs of a range of plant and equipment:

PLANT 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 Life Usage factors:— (years) (%) 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.

Plant

143

□ 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.

PLANT □ 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.

□ Note that the above consumption figures represent ‘medium’ plant operation, i.e. the plant would not 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

Plant

‘low’ usage would involve more intermittent working with perhaps considerable idling periods, more easily worked ground and easier grades. PLANT 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 2003). 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 November 2002 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 70.10 pence/litre Petrol Unleaded 70.41 pence/litre Fuel Oil (taxed for use in 65.21 pence/litre licensed vehicles) DERV Fuel Oil (untaxed, for use 18.46 pence/litre on site) Gas Oil Lubrication Oil (15/40) 103.95 pence/litre Mains electric power 9.66 pence/kWh Oxygen £38.74 /10 m3 0.21 pence/litre Acetylene £64.00 /8.4 m3 0.76 pence/litre Propane 121.34 pence/kg Also included here are allowances for Transmission Oils, Hydraulic Oil, Filters, Grease, etc. N/A indicates that information not available.

PART 4 Unit Costs (Civil Engineering Works)

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

188

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 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 13 and 14 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 but also in the cases of work where a more detailed presentation will enable the user to allow for ancillary items. Materials cost Materials costs within the rates have been calculated using the ‘list prices’ contained in Part 3: Resources (pages 40 to 118), 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 33 to 37. In addition on pages 37 and 38 is a summary of labour grades and responsibilities extracted from the Working Rule Agreement. Within Parts 4 and 5, each section is prefaces by a detailed build-up of the labour gang assumed for each type of work. 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 119 to 148. Within Parts 4 and 5, each section is prefaces by a detailed build-up of plant assumed for each type of work This should allow the user to see the cost impact of using alternative plant as well as different levels of usage (see notes on pages 121 and 122). 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 13: Outputs (pages 595 to 604) which contains a selection of output constants, in particular a chart of haulage times for various capacities of Tippers on page 597.

Columns of sand are rarely used in this country these days.

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,

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book 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.

Class C: Geotechnical and other specialist processes

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

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book achieved depends on the nature of the material being compacted. Allowable bearing capacity may be increased by up to twice the pre-treated 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.

CLASS F: IN SITU CONCRETE Item NOTES The unit rates in this Section are based on net 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

The companies marketing the systems will either supply all the materials and fittings required

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book 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.

Gang Labour Plant Material Unit Total hours £ £ £ rate £

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 N: MISCELLANEOUS METALWORK Item

NOTES General The following are guide prices for various structural members commonly found in a Civil Engineering contract. The list is by no means exhaustive and costs are very much dependent on the particular design and will vary greatly according to specific requirements. For more detailed prices, reference should be made to Specialist Contractors. Cladding CESMM3 N.2.1 requires cladding to be measured in square metres, the item so produced being inclusive of all associated flashings at wall corners and bases, eaves, gables, ridges and around openings. As the relative quantities of these flashings will depend very much on the complexity of the

building shape, the guide prices shown below for these items are shown separately to help with the accuracy of the estimate. Bridge bearings Bridge bearings are manufactured and installed to individual specifications. The following guide prices are for different sizes of simple bridge bearings. If requirements are known, then advice ought to be obtained from specialist manufacturers such as CCL. If there is a requirement for testing bridge bearings prior to their being installed then the tests should be enumerated separately. Specialist advice should be sought once details are known.

CLASS P: PILING Item

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 Generally The items “number of piles” are calculated based on the following: □ allowance for provision of all plant, equipment and labour including transporting to

Standing time is quoted at £90.25 per hour for tripod rig, £182.00 for mobile rig and £100.00 for continuous flight auger. Disposal of material arising from pile bores The disposal of excavated material is shown separately, partly as this task is generally carried out by the main contractor rather than the piling specialist, but also to allow for simple adjustment should contaminated

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.

NOTES Generally The following unit costs are for guidance only. For more reliable estimates it is advisable to seek the advice of a Specialist Contractor. These rates are for the supply and laying of track other than in connection with the Permanent Way. Permanent Way The following rates would not reflect work carried out on the existing public track infrastructure (Permanent Way), which tends to be more costly not merely due to differences in technology and the level of specification

and control standards, but also due to a number of logistical factors, e.g.: □ access to the works for personnel, plant and machinery would be via approved access points to the rail followed by travel along the rail to the work area; this calls for the use of additional and expensive transport plant as well as reducing the effective shift time of the works gang □ effect of track possession periods will dictate when the work can be carried out and could well force night-time or weekend working and perhaps severely reducing the effective shift hours where coupled to long travel to work distances and the need to clear away before the resumption of traffic. □ the labour gang will be composed of

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book more highly paid personnel, reflecting the additional training received; in addition there may well be additional gang members acting as look-outs; this could add 30% to the gang rates shown below □ plant will tend to cost more, especially if the circumstances of the work call for rail/road plant; this could add 20% to the gang rates shown Possession costs Where the contractor’s work is on, over or poses a risk to the safety of the railway, then the contractor normally applies for possession of the track. During the period for which the contractor is given possession, rail traffic stops. Possessions of the Operational Safety Zone may well be

CLASS T: TUNNELS Item NOTES There are so many factors, apart from design considerations, which influence the cost of tunnelling that 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 □ support of face and roof of tunnel (rock bolting etc.) □ necessity for pre-grouting □ ventilation □ presence of

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 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 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 13 and 14 will assist the reader in making adjustments to the unit costs.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

664

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. Materials cost Materials costs within the rates have been calculated using the ‘list prices’ contained in Part 3: Resources (pages 40 to 118), 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 33 to 37. In addition on pages 37 and 38 is a summary of labour grades and responsibilities extracted from the Working Rule Agreement. Within Parts 4 and 5, each section is prefaces by a detailed build-up of the labour gang assumed for each type of work. 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 119 to 148. Within Parts 4 and 5, each section is prefaces by a detailed build-up of plant assumed for each type of work This should allow the user to see the cost impact of using alternative plant as well as different levels of

Guidance Notes

665

usage (see note on pages 121 and 122). 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 13: Outputs (pages 595 to 604) which contains a selection of output constants and in particular a chart of haulage times for various capacities of Tippers on page 597. Method of Measurement A keynote to bills of quantities for highway works is the brevity of descriptions due to a strong emphasis being placed on the estimator pricing the work described in the Specification and shown on the Drawings. 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 but also in the cases of work where a more detailed presentation will enable the user to allow for ancillary items.

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 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 (minimum and bucket Loaders size 0.5 m3) Stiff 1.5 2.0 1.7 clay Chalk 2.5 3.0 2.0 Soft 3.5 2.5 2.0 rock Broken 3.7 2.5 1.7

rock Disposal rates All pricing and estimating for disposal is based on the volume of solid material excavated. A basic consideration in assessing the volume of material to be removed is the bulkage of material after it is dug and loaded onto transport. The actual volume of disturbed material will be subject to the following factors for bulkage: Sand bulkage × 1.10 Gravel bulkage × 1.20 Compacted soil bulkage × 1.30 Compacted sub-base, × 1.30 acceptable fill etc. bulkage Stiff clay bulkage × 1.20 Fill rates The price for filling presume the material being supplied in loose state.

Conversely, the scenarios are not limited to the geotextile used as an example. The heavier grades of sheeting will need to be manipulated into place by machine 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 turn-ups, jointing and sealing, fixing material in place

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. The 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

Earthworks

layer of granular material for a working surface and as backfill to offset induced settlement □ water table level The granular blanket layer performs the dual functions of working surface and backfill material. Generally 300 mm thickness is required. 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 pre-treated 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 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.

SERIES 1600: PILING AND EMBEDDED RETAINING WALLS Item 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

Gang Labour Plant Material Unit Total hours £ £ £ rate £

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book 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. PILING PLANT

SERIES 1600: PILING AND EMBEDDED RETAINING WALLS Item Gang Labour Plant Material Unit Total hours £ £ £ rate £ STEEL SHEET PILES Sheet steel piling is commonly carried out by a Specialist Contractor, whose advice should be sought to arrive at accurate costings. However, the following items can be used to assess a budget for such work. The following unit costs are based on driving/ extracting 1,500 m2 of sheet piling on a clear site with reasonable access. Note: area of driven piles will vary from area supplied dependant upon pitch line of piling and provision for such allowance has been made in PC for supply. The materials cost below includes the manufacturer’s tariffs for a 200 mile delivery

thicknesses of 500 to 1,500 mm up to 40 m deep may be constructed. Special equipment such as the Hydrofraise can construct walls up to 100 m deep. Restricted urban sites will significantly increase the costs. The following costs are based on constructing a diaphgram wall with an excavated volume of 4000 m3 using a grab. Typical progress would be up to 500 m per week. Disposal of excavated material is not included in the unit costs.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book cement air entrained concrete water repellant concrete PRECAST CONCRETE 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 the 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 maunfacturers for guide prices. Pretensioned prestressed beams;

SERIES 2000: WATERPROOFING FOR STRUCTURES Item

GENERAL Notes This section is based around the installation of proprietary systems to new/recently completed works as part of major scheme, for minor works/ repairs outputs will be many times more. Outputs are also based on use of skilled labour, therefore effieciency is high and wastage low (5–7% only allowed) excepting laps where required.

PART 6 Land Remediation The purpose of this part is to review the general background of ground contamination, the cost implications of current legislation and to consider the various remedial measures and to present helpful guidance on the cost of Land Remediation. It must be emphasised that the cost advice given is an average and that costs can vary considerably from contract to contract depending on individual Contractors, site conditions, type and extent of contamination, methods of working and various other factors as diverse as difficulty of site access and distance from approved tips. We have structured this Unit Cost section to cover as many aspects of Land Remediation works as possible.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

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.

Definition

979

DEFINITION Generally Contaminated land refers generally to land which contains contaminants in sufficient quantities to harm people, animals, the environment or structures. There is now a statutory definition of ‘contaminated land’ contained within Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act. Contaminants comprise hazardous substances (solids, liquids or gases) that are not naturally occurring in the site. They arise from previous site usage, although sites can be affected by pollutants arising from adjoining sites through the movement of water and air. A contaminated site can similarly pose a risk to surrounding land by offsite migration of contaminants. Contaminated sites can be sold on, although the new owner would take on the responsibility for the contamination and would obviously take this into account in the offered price. The extent of remediation works required to address contamination varies dependent on the intended future use of the site—with industrial uses calling for a lower level of work than if the site were intended to be used for residential or agricultural purposes. In a commercial world, expenditure on decontaminating the land would usually need to be balanced against the release of the latent site value—unless of course the contamination contravened statutory limits. Hazardous contaminants fall into three broad categories: □ Chemical contamination of land or water □ Biological contamination of land or water (e.g. samples containing pathological bacteria potentially harmful to health). □ Contamination of a physical nature (e.g. radioactive material, unsuitable fill materials, flammable gas or combustible material e.g. wood dust) These can also be listed in the following sub-groups: □ Gases

Toxic, flammable and explosive gases e.g. hydrogen cyanide hydrogen sulphide Flammable and explosive gases e.g. methane

April 2000 saw the introduction of new contaminated land provisions, contained in Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. A primary objective of the legislation is to identify and remediate contaminated 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 to a more sensitive end-use. 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 for dealing with ‘contaminated land’ as defined. The regime became operational on 1 April 2000. Local authorities are the main regulators of the new regime although the Environment Agency will regulate seriously contaminated sites which will be known as “special sites”. The contaminated land regime incorporates 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: □ the planning system □ 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.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

984

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 have been introduced. 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 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 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.

Initial study

985

INITIAL STUDY Approach Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act (1990) [EPA], which was introduced by Section 57 of the Environment Act 1995, requires an overall risk-based approach to dealing with contaminated sites, which is consistent with the general good practice approach to managing land subject to contamination. The regulatory regime set out in Part IIA is based on the following activities: □ identify the problem □ assess the risks □ determine the appropriate remediation requirements □ consider the costs □ establish who should pay □ implementation and remediation These are examined more fully below: Identify the problem Site investigations comprising desk study research and intrusive investigations are necessary to provide information on the soil conditions and possible contaminants located on the site in order that an assessment of the risks may be carried out. Based on this, it should then be possible to ensure that the most appropriate remedial measures are used. In addition, from a purely cost angle, the more complete the study is at this stage, then the greater the reliability of the cost estimate. Initially: □ research previous use(s) of the site by reference to historical maps, local records, interviewing local inhabitants, previous employees etc. □ study geological maps and local records to determine ground strata, water table, underground aquifers, direction of movement of ground water, presence of water extraction wells locally which may be at risk from contamination. □ examine local records to try and determine underground and above ground service routes and whether still live Ideally such studies should also take in surrounding land as the site may be at risk of contamination from an adjoining site problem. The aim would be to establish the previous pattern of development of the site. Based on the sites various uses, areas of previous development and likely contaminants may be identifiable. It may well be possible to categorize the site into areas each with possibly

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

986

differing problems and occurring at differing depths. In all probability, a proportion of even a contaminated site could prove to be trouble free. Even though a site may have no history of potentially contaminative use, previous owners may have inadvertently created a problem by importing fill materials from a contaminated source. A site ‘conceptual model’ should be developed from the desk study research, showing the ‘receptors’ potentially at risk and the ‘pathway’ between the contamination source and each receptor. The next step should be soil sampling of the various areas and laboratory analysis of the materials to determine if the soil contains a contaminant (or contaminants) as well as obtaining an idea of the distribution of the contaminants over the site (in areas as well as depth) and the associated concentrations. The number of sampling points taken on any given site will largely depend on engineering judgement, economics and time. The use of an accurate and regularly spaced sampling grid allows the site to be categorized into areas of high and low risk (i.e. areas exceeding or falling below the trigger values. It may then be possible to use different remedial measures for the differing areas of concentration. Consideration should be given to the proposed development. There is little point in carrying out expensive remedial works to a site merely for it to be then subjected to the same use. On the other hand, work is very much called for if the proposed use is for agricultural or recreational purpose or else the contaminants threaten the water regime. If the contaminants are static and not putting development at risk, there may be a strong economic argument for leaving them alone. Bearing in mind the history of the site, the nature and concentration of the contaminant(s) and the most likely path, it should then be possible to chose an appropriate remedial technique. Assess the risks With an understanding of the site geology and of the nature, distribution and magnitude of contaminants within the site, an assessment can then be made of the risk that they pose, which will depend largely on the sensitivity of the site and the future land use. A qualitative risk assessment used to involve a comparison of the observed contaminant concentrations with screening values, such as the ICRCL trigger concentrations. A quantitative risk assessment looks at the particular site, the potential of the hazards to migrate and then a calculation of the likely dose of contaminant at the receptor. This figure is compared with toxicology data—e.g. the EEC limit for arsenic in drinking water in 2003 will be 10 ppb (parts per billion). It can be difficult to arrive at an adequate definition of the acceptable levels of risk for the particular site, in view of the complications caused by differences in geology on a regional scale and local site variations. Individual site variations can affect chemical and physical properties and substances themselves can interact to increase or even reduce the risk. Threats to aquifers would force a vigorous approach to treatment.

Initial study

987

Determine the appropriate remediation requirements Consideration should be given to the most appropriate treatment suited to the location and type of contaminant, the end use of the site and the risks. Consider the costs The estimate should review the chosen treatment and take into account: □ a careful measurement/estimate of the quantities involved, e.g. the volume(s) of contaminants which may need removal, length and depth of containment walls, size distribution and depth of boreholes for the extraction of contaminated liquids □ site location—a study of the surrounding roads, built-up areas etc. which may restrict access to and from the site for construction vehicles; this could well influence the size of the vehicles used □ appropriate landfill sites/haulage distance—a review of suitable tips which can take the contaminants, checking their rate of accepting such material, which may well be limited by their licence; bear in mind that tipping charges can vary significantly over a period of time but preferential rates can be obtained for a programme of tipping. Large quantities of material may force a proportion being disposed of not just at the closest, but also at the more distant tips as well—if time is not at a premium, it may well prove cheaper to extend the length of the programme. □ the location/haulage distance of sites of suitable fill materials □ a review of any set time scales and a calculation of a practical contract period, perhaps taking into account any requirements for phased hand over of parts of the site. □ an assessment of the implications of the contaminants on the site establishment— protective clothing and footwear and shower and messing facilities for personnel, wheel wash facilities for vehicles and the careful disposal of contaminated wash water etc. It is essential that the estimate is a practical all-embracing exercise to help ensure that a realistic budget is set for the project. Once the work commences on site, it cannot be halted even if costs overrun the anticipated budget. If it does not prove possible to survey the site fully, part or all of the estimate could be at risk and the client should be made aware of the potential risk. Cost minimisation Apart from careful measurement and rate evaluation, there are a number of methods of helping to minimise costs, such as: □ On-site testing to reduce off site volumes To help ensure that low risk materials are not removed unnecessarily □ Correct classification of waste To help ensure that the contaminant incurs the lowest tipping charge □ Use of clean site rubble as far as possible for fill

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

988

□ Use of existing contaminated solids for the stabilisation of contaminated liquids/sludges. The removal of such a mixture by lorry may be much cheaper than removing liquid by tanker. □ Ensure the fill and rate of compaction are suitable for the end use To avoid future cost. □ Encapsulation of non-mobile contaminants Cheaper than removing from site or treating. □ Back-hauling of fill materials Where possible, organising the truck taking the material to the tip to return with the fill materials, avoiding the cost of travelling empty. Establish who should pay 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. If neither the polluter nor owner can be found, the clean-up is funded from public resources. Implementation and remediation Tenders should be sought on clear documentation with the ability for the subsequent work to be remeasured and revalued. There should be a stringent site monitoring system implemented. This should include monitoring the effectiveness of operations (especially in the case of remedial operations other than dig and dump) as well as checking the chemical profile of all imported fill materials to avoid the obvious. Approvals involve both the Environment Agency and the local authority Environmental Health Officer/ Contaminated Land Officer. A Health and Safety file handed to the site owner at completion should cover all the checking procedures in detail. Arrange for suitable warranties, which would be required by any future purchaser of the site.

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. On most sites, contamination can be restricted to the top couple of metres, although gasometer foundations for example can go down 8 or 10 metres. Underground structures can interfere with the normal water regime and trap water pockets. There could be a problem if contaminants get into fissures in bed rock. 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—this is unlikely to be acceptable to the regulators. □ 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 £40/m2 to more than £110/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. Most bio-remediation is ex-situ, i.e. it is dug out and then treated on site in bio-piles. The process can be slow, perhaps taking as much as one to three years depending upon the scale of the problem, but 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. This also involves the excavation of the material for washing ex-situ. The de-watered contaminant still requires disposal to landfill. In order to be cost effective, 70–90% of soil mass needs to be recovered. It will involve

constructing a hard area for the washing, intercepting the now-contaminated water and taking it away in tankers. □ Vacuum extraction—involving the extraction of volatile organic compounds (e.g. benzene) from soil and groundwater by vacuum. □ 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. □ Aeration—if the ground contamination is highly volatile, e.g. fuel oils, then the ground can be ploughed and rotavated to allow the substance to vaporize. □ Pumping—to remove liquid contaminants from boreholes or excavations. Contaminated water can be pumped into holding tanks and allowed to settle; testing may well prove it to be suitable for discharging into the foul sewer subject to payment of a discharge fee to the local authority of 35p to 65 p per m3. It may be necessary to process the water through an approved water treatment system to render it suitable for discharge. Off-site techniques Removal for landfill disposal 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 considerations

COST CONSIDERATIONS 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. Indicative costs of land remediation techniques (excluding landfill tax) Remediation Unit Rate technique (£/unit) Removal

55–165 22–55 22–88 33–94 44–94 66–121 55–121 825=1,320

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.

General Items and disposal cost accounts for 60–70% of the cost range. The strict Health and Safety requirements of remediation works can produce quite high site organisation costs as a % of the overall project cost (see the table above). A high proportion of these costs are fixed and, as a result, the unit costs of site organisation increase disproportionately on smaller projects. A further source of cost variation relates to tipping charges. The table below summarises typical tipping charges for 2002, exclusive of landfill tax: Typical 2003 tipping charges (excluding landfill tax) Waste classification Charges (£/tonne) Non-hazardous wastes Hazardous wastes Special waste Contaminated liquid Contaminated sludge

8–10 10–12 12–25 15–40 40–50

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. Prices at licensed tips can vary by as much as 50%. In addition, a special waste regulation charge of £15.40 per load, equivalent to 81 p per tonne assuming a 19 tonne load, is also payable.

Class A General Items Remedial works contracts generally show a high level of preliminaries, perhaps around the 30–40% mark, mainly due to the high costs of Health and Safety and temporary works when dealing with contamination. The tables below demonstrate the spread of costs on three site studies included as examples. Over and above the normal site establishment costs included within Part 4 Class A; a number of the following items may need to be included. □ Protective clothing and footwear/site safety inductions □ Hygiene/Decontamination Unit □ Occupational health checks (office staff as well as site labour)

□ Bath wheel wash facility □ Weighbridge facility with auto ticketing □ Scaffold gantry for safe covering of wagons □ Steel storage tanks for contaminated liquids □ Temporary fencing between clean and dirty areas and around excavations □ Administration connected with special waste taxes, licenses, etc. □ Portable on-site laboratory □ Dust suppression □ Odour suppression □ Vibration monitoring Class B Ground Investigation A further 3–9% can be spent on carrying out the site testing and validation sampling. There is a direct connection between a client spending more money on adequate site investigations and reducing the risk of there being something unforeseen and untoward on the site. This section covers items such as trial pits and trenches, light cable percussion boreholes, laboratory testing which are carried out as part of the remediation contract to prove the ground has been cleaned to an acceptable standard. Indicative costs for testing can be found in Part 4 Class B. Long term ground water monitoring may also be required. Class C Geotechnical Services As part of the remediation strategy it may be deemed necessary by the site engineer to use diaphragm walls, ground anchorages, ground consolidation techniques, grout holes, etc. Indicative costs are included within Part 4 Class C. Class D Demolition and Site Clearance The costs associated with this section are site dependant and can found in Part 4 Class D. Class E Excavation Excavation and backfilling costs can be found within Part 4 Class E. As part of the remediation strategy contaminated material may be deemed acceptable as backfill by mixing with inert material. Costs for the rotavation of material within stockpiles are approximately £0.50–1.00/m3. Blending of clean material with contaminated sludges/liquids to allow transportation off site will vary depending on the ratio. As a guide, mixing on a 1:1 ratio will cost approximately £4/m3. Costs for crushing and screening excavated material are usually expected to be around £6/m3 and £4/m3 respectively. Haulage costs are largely determined by the distances to a licensed tip. A frequently used haulage vehicle will be a 19 tonne payload articulated vehicle, costing say £375 per day including driver and fuel. The cost per load naturally reflects the difficulty of the route. An average 75 miles round trip, with 5 trips being carried out per day would cost

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

996

£75 per load, or £1.00 per mile. For short distances, the cost per mile could rise to £1.50, reflecting the greater number of trips and hence a greater amount of time in loading and dumping. The haulage cost per m3 of the disposed material naturally depends on its density. Disposal costs need to be established with the nearest licensed landfill site as they vary depending on the locality and waste classification. On top of this must be included the Special Waste Regulation Charge and consideration as to whether landfill tax is applicable.

The landfill tax

997

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

Inactive or inert wastes. Included are soil, stones, brick, plain and reinforced concrete, plaster and glass (refer to the table below for a fuller list),

£14 per tonne—

All other taxable wastes. Included are timber, paint and other organic wastes generally found in demolition work, builders skips etc..

From April 2003 the rate of £13 per tonne for “all other taxable wastes” was increased to £14 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. Waste liable at the lower rate Group Description Conditions of material 1

Volume to weight conversion factors To convert inactive or inert waste (i.e. largely water insoluble and non or very slowly biodegradable: e.g. sand, subsoil, concrete, bricks, mineral fibres, fibreglass etc.), multiply the measured volume in cubic metres by 1.5 to calculate the weight in tonnes. 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. Tipping 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 an 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.

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 on 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 then by using Part 12: Approximate Estimates but without the necessity to complete the full unit cost estimate. Adjustments should be made to the rates shown to allow for time, location, local conditions, site constraints and any other factors likely to affect the cost of the specific scheme.

PART 8 Oncosts and Profit In Part 1 of this book, it is stressed that the cost information given in Parts 2 to 7 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.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1058

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 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 net estimate to cover all costs incurred in operating the central services provided by head office. Apart from general management and accountancy, this will 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).

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1060

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 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 charges) Deduct Subcontractors Prime cost sums Employer’s contingencies Amount to be financed

6,592,452

1,205,000 75,000 165,000 1,445,000 £ 5,147,452

The average monthly income is this sum (£5,147,452) divided by the contract period (12 months), that is, £428,954. 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

[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 17½%, 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

PART 9 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.

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 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

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 nr 1970 Series Title Index 1990 Series Title nr 1 Labour and supervision in Civil Engineering

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 10 Daywork

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1082

INTRODUCTION “Dayworks” relates to work which is carried out incidental to a contract but where no other rates have been agreed. In the case of the ICE Conditions of Contract It is ordered by the Engineer pursuant to clause 52(5): “(5) The Engineer may if in his opinion it is necessary or desirable order in writing that any additional or substituted work shall be executed on a daywork basis in accordance with the provisions of Clause 56(4).” Clause 56(4) states that: “Where any work is carried out on a daywork basis the Contractor shall be paid for such work under the conditions and at the rates and prices set out in the daywork schedule included in the Contract or failing the inclusion of a daywork schedule he shall be paid at the rates and prices and under the conditions contained in the “Schedule of Dayworks carried out incidental to Contract Work” issued by The Civil Engineering Contractor’s Association (formerly issued by The Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors), current at the date of execution of the daywork. The contractor shall furnish to the Engineer such records receipts and other documentation as may be necessary to prove amounts paid and/or costs incurred. Such returns shall be in the form and delivered at the times the Engineer shall direct and shall be agreed within a reasonable time. Before ordering materials the Contractor shall if so required submit to the Engineer quotations for the same for his approval.” The most recent Schedule is dated November 2002 and is 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: 0207 608 5060 Fax: 0207 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 included in this section. In Summary the Daywork schedule allows for an addition:—

Introduction

1083

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 2002 Daywork Schedule. The text of the document is as follows:

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1084

SCHEDULES OF DAYWORKS CARRIED OUT INCIDENTAL TO CONTRACT WORK The General clauses in the Schedule are repeated in full as follows: 1. Labour “Add to the amount of wages paid to operatives..............................................148%” 1.1 “Amount of wages” means:— Actual wages and bonus paid, daily travelling allowances (fare and/or time), tool allowance and all prescribed payments including those in respect of time lost due to inclement weather paid to operatives at plain time rates and/or at overtime rates. 1.2 The percentage addition provides for all statutory charges at the date of publication and other charges including:— National Insurance and Surcharge. Normal Contract Works, Third Party & Employer’s Liability Insurances. Annual and Public Holidays with pay. Statutory and industry sick pay. Welfare benefits. Industrial Training Levy. Redundancy Payments. Employment Rights Act 1996. Employment Relations Act 1999. Site Supervision and staff including foremen and walking gangers, but the time of the gangers or charge hands working with their gangs is to be paid for as for operatives. Small tools—such as picks, shovels, barrows, trowels, hand saws, buckets, trestles, hammers, chisels and all items of a like nature. Protective clothing. Head Office charges and profit. 1.3 The time spent in training, mobilisation, demobilisation etc. for the Dayworks operation is chargeable. 1.4 All hired plant drivers and labour sub-contractor’s accounts to be charged in full (without

deduction of any cash discounts not exceeding 2.5%) plus 88%. 1.5 Subsistence or lodging allowances and periodic travel allowances (fare and/or time) paid to or incurred on behalf of operatives are chargeable at cost plus 12.5%.

2. Materials “Add to the cost of materials...........................................................................12.5%” 1. The percentage addition provides for Head office charges and Profit. 2. The cost of materials means the invoiced price of materials including delivery to site without deduction of any cash discounts not exceeding 2.5%. 3. Unloading of materials:— The percentage added to the cost of materials excludes the cost of handling which shall be charged in addition. An allowance for unloading into site stock or storage including wastage should be added where materials are taken from existing stock. 3. Supplementary Charges 1. Transport provided by contractors for operatives to, from, in and around the site to be charged at the appropriate Schedule rates. 2. Any other charges incurred in respect of any Dayworks operation including, tipping charges, professional fees, sub-contractor’s accounts and the like shall be paid for in full plus 12.5% (without deduction of cash discounts not exceeding 2.5%). Labour subcontractors being dealt with in Section 1. 3. The cost of operating welfare facilities to be charged by the contractor at cost plus 12.5%. 4. The cost of additional insurance premiums for abnormal contract work or special site conditions to be charged at cost plus 12.5%. 5. The cost of watching and lighting specially necessitated by Dayworks is to be paid for separately at Schedule rates. 4. Plant 1. These rates apply only to plant already on site, exclusive of drivers and attendants, but inclusive of fuel and consumable stores unless stated to be charged in addition, repairs and maintenance, insurance of plant but excluding time spent on general servicing. 2. Where plant is hired specifically for Dayworks: plant hire (exclusive of drivers and attendants), fuel, oil and grease, insurance, transport etc., to be charged at full amount of invoice (without deduction of any cash discount not exceeding 2.5%) to which should be added consumables where supplied by the contractor, all plus 12.5%. 3. Fuel distribution, mobilisation and demobilisation are not included in the rates quoted which shall be an additional charge.

4. Metric capacities are adopted and these are not necessarily exact conversions from their imperial equivalents, but cater for the variations arising from comparison of plant manufacturing firms’ ratings. 5. Minimum hire charge will be for the period quoted. 6. Hire rates for plant not included below, shall be settled at prices reasonably related to the rates quoted. 7. The rates provide for Head Office charges and Profit. The Schedule then gives twenty-four pages of hire rates for a wide range of plant and equipment.

1087

APPLICATION OF DAYWORKS Generally A check should be made on the accuracy of the recorded resources and times. Tender documents generally allow the contractor to tender percentage variations to the figure calculated using the published percentage additions. These vary widely but a reasonable average indication can be along the lines of: Labour..........

20% less

Materials........

10% less

Plant.............

30% less

Labour The Contractor should provide substantiation of the hourly rates he wishes to be paid for the various classes of labour and should demonstrate that the basic “amount of wages” does not include any of the items actually covered by the percentage addition. The wage bill is intended to reflect the cost to the Contractor. The time involved is not restricted to the duration of the task, but also includes mobilisation and demobilisation, together with any training needed—which would include induction courses required for Health & Safety requirements. The rate paid is the actual value of wages and bonuses paid (not simply the basic rate promulgated for the labour grade involved, and includes overtime rates if applicable, tool money, time lost due to inclement weather. In addition, daily travelling allowances are included, as are periodic travel allowances and also subsistence or lodging allowances. Care should be taken that the matters deemed included in the percentage addition are not duplicated in the amount of wages. For example, it should be noted that foremen, gangers and other supervisory staff are covered by the percentage addition, unless they work in which case they are paid for at the correct rate for the task involved. The proportion of the time they spend working rather than supervising must be agreed. Refer to the amplification of labour categories on Page 36. Hired or sub-contracted labour is paid at invoiced cost, adjusted only where any cash discount exceeded 2½%, in which case the excess percentage is deducted. Materials The cost of materials delivered to the site is simply the invoiced price of the materials plus any delivery charges. Should the cash discount exceed 2½%, the excess percentage is deducted from the amount to be paid.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1088

The percentage addition simply covers the cost of Head Office charges and profit. It does not include for unloading or temporarily storing the materials nor for distributing them on site to the work place. Such cost can be charged, even in cases where the materials may already be in the site stock. Material waste should be added direct to the cost of materials used for each particular Daywork items as an appropriate percentage. 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, £6.3 m Civil Engineering scheme where the total cost of materials that require handling (excluding Ready Mix concrete, imported fills, fuels and similar items) is £2,090,000. The following gang is employed (part time) throughout the contract for offloading and handling of materials. Net cost £ 2 labourers

Supplementary charges 1. Transport Schedule 3.1 states that transport provided by contractors to take operatives to and from the site as well as in and around the site shall be charged at the appropriate Schedule Rate. This would entail the driver and vehicle being included with the labour and plant parts of the Daywork calculation. 2. Any other charges This relates to any other charges incurred in respect of any Dayworks operation and includes tipping charges, professional fees, sub-contractor’s accounts and the like.

1089

Schedule 3.2 provides for full payment of such charges in full plus the addition of 12½% for Head Office charges and Profit. Should the cash discount exceed 2½%, the excess percentage is deducted from the amount to be paid. Welfare Facilities Schedule 3.3 allows for the net cost of operating these facilities plus 12.5%. Example: How the costs of operating welfare facilities may be charged to the Daywork account on an 12 month, £5.8 m Civil Engineering scheme, where the total labour element is £1,150,000.

Insurances Schedule 3.4 allows for the cost of additional insurance premiums for abnormal work or special site conditions to be charged at cost plus 12.5%. Watching and lighting Schedule 3.5 allows for all such costs necessitated by Dayworks to be paid for separately at Schedule rates.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1090

Plant The cost of the driver(s) and any required attendants such as banksmen should be covered in the labour section of the dayworks calculation. The Schedule rates include fuel and consumable stores, repairs and maintenance (but not the time spent on general servicing) and insurance. The Schedule rates only apply to machinery which is on site at the time of the work— where plant is specifically hired for the task, the Contractor is entitled to be paid the invoiced value. If the invoice excludes consumables used (fuel, oil and grease) then the Contractor is entitled to add the cost—together with insurance and any transport costs incurred in getting the equipment on site all subject to a 12½% addition for Head office costs and profit. Head Office charges and Profit allowances are included in the Schedule rates, 12½% being added to the charged value of hired plant. 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) i.e. engine lubrication transmission lubrications general greasing coolants hydraulic oils and brake systems filters tyres □ Inspecting special items e.g. buckets hoses/airlines shank protectors cables/ropes/hawsers rippers blades, steels, etc Example: 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)

The cost of the servicing labour would be as follows: large machine

£13.33/hr÷24 hrs

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 on to the next machine. The attendance cost based on the hourly rate tractor/bowser/driver would be: =£12.03+£0.53+£11.08=£23.64 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). ○ 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 £75.34×6.5, i.e. £ 489.71 The attendance cost for the 30 min cycle would be £23.64×0.5, i.e. £11.82

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1092

The percentage addition for fuelling the machine would be:

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) ○ 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 £14.22×16 hrs, i.e. £227.52 The attendance cost for the 10 min cycle would be £23.64×0.17 hrs, i.e. £4.02 The percentage addition for fuelling the machine would be:

Example: A medium sized 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 2.40 l/hr). ○ Tractor/bowser service taking 5 minutes The machine cost during this 14.5 hr period would be £3.20×14.5 hrs, i.e. £46.40 The attendance cost for the 5 min cycle would be £23.64×0.08 hrs, i.e. £1.89 The percentage addition for fuelling the machine would be:

Considering the range of these categories of plant which are normally deployed on site, the following would provide a reasonable average percentage addition for the above: 2.4%×2

PART 11 Professional Fees

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1096

CONSULTING ENGINEERS’ FEES INTRODUCTION A scale of professional charges for consulting engineering services in connection with civil engineering works is published by the Association of Consulting Engineers (ACE) Copies of the document can be obtained direct from:— The Association of Consulting Engineers Alliance House Caxton Street London SW1H OQL Tel 0207 222 6557 Fax 0207 222 0750 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. 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

Consulting engineers' fees

1097

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 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

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1098

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. 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 co-ordination, should be reflected in the levels of fees. Special

Consulting engineers' fees

1099

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 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.

1100

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 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 unforeseeable 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

Consulting engineers' fees

1101

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.

QUANTITY SURVEYORS’ FEES Introduction A scale of professional charges for quantity surveying services in connection with civil engineering works is published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The scale has been determined by the Fees Committee appointed by the Quantity Surveyors Divisional Council of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The scale is recommended and not mandatory. Copies of the document can be obtained direct from:— The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors 12 Great George Street Parliament Square London SW1P 3AD 0870 333 1600 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.

Quantity surveyors' fees

1103

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 cases the fees to be charged for quantity surveying services shall be in accordance with the scales applicable to building works. 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.

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.

** Category II.

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 12 Approximate Estimates

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1106

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 2003 Building Works tender price level index of 426 (1976=100). Unless otherwise stated, prices INCLUDE overheads and profit but EXCLUDE external works, furniture, loose or special equipment and 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. Unit Cost excluding VAT £ m2

SURFACE CAR PARKS

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1122

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 200 m2 gross floor area

—warehouses

20 to 25 m2 gross floor area

shops

10 m2 gross floor area

superstores 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

52

1130 to 1,300

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 £

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 load4ed (calculated using a 1.5 m3 loader with a cycle time of 22 seconds), haul journey, discharge (turning/manoeuvring/tipping) and return journey.

The aggregates tax

1231

THE AGGREGATES TAX The Tax The Aggregates Tax came into operation on 1 April 2002 in the UK, except for Northern Ireland where it will be phased in over five years commencing in 2003. It is currently levied at the rate of £1.60 per tonne on anyone considered to be responsible for commercially exploiting ‘virgin’ Aggregates in the UK and should naturally be passed by price increase to the ultimate user. All materials falling within the definition of ‘Aggregates’ is liable for the levy unless it is specifically exempted. It does not apply to clay, soil, vegetable or other organic matter. The hope is that this will:— □ Encourage the use of alternative materials that would otherwise be disposed of to landfill sites. □ promote development of new recycling processes, such as using waste tyres and glass □ promote greater efficiency in the use of virgin aggregates □ reduce noise+vibration, dust+other emissions to air, visual intrusion, loss of amenity+damage to wildlife habitats The intention is for part of the revenue from the levy to be recycled to business and communities affected by Aggregates extraction, through:— □ a 0.1 percentage point cut in employers’ national insurance contributions □ a new £35 million per annum ‘Sustainability Fund’ to reduce the need for virgin materials and to limit the effects of extraction on the environmental where it takes place. A number of key priorities have been identified with a promise to give effect to them through existing programmes. The intention was to publish the results early in 2003. Definition ‘Aggregates’ means any rock, gravel or sand which is extracted or dredged in the UK for aggregates use. It includes whatever substances are for the time being incorporated in it or naturally occur mixed with it. ‘Exploitation’ is defined as involving any one or a combination of any of the following:— □ being removed from its original site □ becoming subject to a contract or other agreement to supply to any person □ being used for construction purposes □ being mixed with any material or substance other than water, except in permitted circumstances

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

Incidence It is a tax on primary Aggregates production—i.e. ‘virgin’ Aggregates won from a source and used in a location within the UK territorial boundaries (land or sea). The tax is not levied on aggregates which is exported nor on Aggregates imported from outside the UK territorial boundaries. It is levied at the point of sale. Exemption from tax An ‘aggregate’ is exempt from the levy if it is:— □ material which has previously been used for construction purposes □ aggregate that has already been subject to a charge to the Aggregates levy □ aggregate which was previously removed from its originating site before the commencement date of the levy □ aggregate which is being returned to the land from which it was won □ aggregates won from a farm land or forest where used on that farm or forest □ rock which has not been subjected to an industrial crushing process □ aggregate won by being removed from the ground on the site of any building or proposed building in the course of excavations carried out in connection with the modification or erection of the building and exclusively for the purpose of laying foundations or of laying any pipe or cable □ aggregate won by being removed from the bed of any river, canal or watercourse or channel in or approach to any port or harbour (natural or artificial), in the course of carrying out any dredging exclusively for the purpose of creating, restoring, improving or maintaining that body of water □ aggregate won by being removed from the ground along the line of any highway or proposed highway in the course of excavations for improving, maintaining or constructing the highway+otherwise than purely to extract the aggregate □ drill cuttings from petroleum operations on land and on the seabed □ aggregate resulting from works carried out in exercise of powers under the New Road and Street Works Act 1991, the Roads (Northern Ireland) Order 1993 or the Street Works (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 □ aggregates removed for the purpose of cutting of rock to produce dimension stone, or the production of lime or cement from limestone. □ aggregates arising as a waste material during the processing of the following industrial minerals: ○ ball clay ○ barytes ○ calcite ○ china clay

○ coal, lignite, slate or shale ○ feldspar ○ flint ○ fluorspar ○ fuller’s earth ○ gems and semi-precious stones ○ gypsum ○ any metal or the ore of any metal ○ muscovite ○ perlite ○ potash ○ pumice ○ rock phosphates ○ sodium chloride ○ talc ○ vermiculite However, the levy is still chargeable on any aggregates arising as the spoil or waste from or the by-products of the above exempt processes. This includes quarry overburden. Anything that consists ‘wholly or mainly’ of the following is exempt from the levy (note that ‘wholly’ is defined as 100% but ‘mainly’ as more than 50%, thus exempting any contained aggregates amounting to less than 50% of the original volumes: □ clay, soil, vegetable or other organic matter □ coal, slate or shale □ china clay waste and ball clay waste Relief from the levy either in the form of credit or repayment is obtainable where: □ it is subsequently exported from the UK in the form of aggregate □ it is used in an exempt process □ where it is used in a prescribed industrial or agricultural process □ it is waste aggregate disposed of by dumping or otherwise, e.g. sent to landfill or returned to the originating site Environment Act 1995 Provides for planning permissions for minerals extraction (which includes aggregates) to be reviewed and updated on a regular basis by the mineral planning authorities. Minerals planning guidance notes were to be updated to ensure that all mineral operators provide local benefits that clearly outweigh the likely impacts of mineral extraction.

The Rural White Paper published in November 2000 This set out the government’s Vision of a countryside that is sustainable economically, socially and environmentally’ apart from economic support, action was proposed to deal with a number of environmental threats, one is to reduce the environmental impact (such as damage to biodiversity and visual intrusion) of aggregate extraction by imposing an Aggregates levy. Finance Act 2001 This provides for a levy being charged on aggregate which is subject to commercial exploitation. It places the levy under the care and management of the Commissioners of Customs & Excise. Anticipated impact The British Aggregates Association has suggested that the additional cost imposed by quarries is more likely to be in the order of £2.65 per tonne on mainstream products, applying an above average rate on these in order that by-products and low grade waste products can be held at competitive rates, as well as making some allowance for administration and increased finance charges. With many gravel aggregates costing in the region of £7.50 to £9.50 per tonne, there will be a significant impact on construction costs. The Civil Engineering Contractors Association has predicted that the tax will push up total construction prices in the civil sector by 1.3%. Other models have come up with figures much higher than this, but the level for any particular project will of course depend on the constituents and type of work involved. It has been estimated that between 20 and 25% of aggregate production is used for road maintenance and construction. Obviously there will be a substantial cost impact on civil engineering schemes involving large quantities of aggregates as fill materials etc. in schemes such as roads, railways and airports, but there will also be a significant impact on any building work which employs large quantities of aggregate not only in their primary state but also as concrete or concrete based products. An average building project could attract an increase of approximately 0.8 to 1%. Individual typical materials could be affected as follows:— □ Concrete: given that a cubic metre contains 1.9–2.4 tonnes of sand and aggregate, the levy could push up prices by £ 3.04–3.84 per m3 at the £1.60 rate, were this to be £2.65 as reasoned above, the resulting increase would be £5.04–6.36 per m3. On a ready mix supply price of say £65 per m3, this would represent an average rise of 5.29% or 8.77% respectively. □ Precast concrete blocks: anticipated at 10 p per m2 on dense aggregates □ Concrete roof tiles: anticipated at 10 p to 50 p per m2 of roofing

1235

□ Precast concrete pavings: anticipated at 2 to 5% on the cost of concrete pavings, flags, blocks, kerbs etc. □ Bitumen macadam paving: anticipated to be in the region of 2.5% on the cost of materials

Avoidance An alternative to using new aggregates in filling operations is to crush and screen rubble which may become available during the process of demolition and site clearance as well as removal of obstacles during the excavation processes. Example: Assuming that the material would be suitable for fill material under buildings or roads, a simple cost comparison would be as follows (note that for the purpose of the exercise, the material is taken to be 1.80 t/m3 and the total quantity involved less than 1,000 m3):— Importing fill material: £/m3 £/tonne Cost of ‘new’ aggregates delivered to site

From the above it can be seen that potentially there is a great benefit in crushing site materials for filling rather than importing fill materials.

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1236

Setting the cost of crushing against the import price would produce a saving of £6.98 per m3. If the site materials were otherwise intended to be removed from the site, then the cost benefit increases by the saved disposal cost to £16.48 per m3. Even if there is no call for any or all of the crushed material on site, it ought to be regarded as a useful asset and either sold on in crushed form or else sold with the prospects of crushing elsewhere.

CAPITAL ALLOWANCES

Introduction Capital Allowances provide tax relief by prescribing a statutory rate of depreciation for tax purposes in place of that used for accounting purposes. They are utilised by government to provide an incentive to invest in capital equipment, including commercial property, by allowing the majority of taxpayers a deduction from taxable profits for certain types of capital expenditure, thereby deferring tax liabilities. The capital allowances most commonly applicable to real estate are those given for capital expenditure on both new and existing industrial buildings, and plant and machinery in all commercial buildings. Other types of allowances particularly relevant to property are hotel and enterprise zone allowances, which are in fact variants to industrial buildings allowances code. Enhanced rates of allowances are available to small and medium sized enterprises and on certain types of energy saving plant and machinery, whilst reduced rates apply to items with an expected economic life of more than 25 years. The Act The primary legislation is now contained in the Capital Allowances Act 2001. Amendments to the Act have been made in each subsequent Finance Act. The Act is arranged in 12 Parts and was published with an accompanying set of Explanatory Notes. Plant and Machinery The Finance Act 1994 introduced major changes to the availability of Capital Allowances on real estate. A definition was introduced which precludes expenditure on the provision of a building from qualifying for plant and machinery, with prescribed exceptions. List A in Section 21 of the 2001 Act sets out those assets treated as parts of buildings:— Walls, floors, ceilings, doors, gates, shutters, windows and stairs. □ Mains services, and systems, for water, electricity and gas. □ Waste disposal systems. □ Sewerage and drainage systems. □ Shafts or other structures in which lifts, hoists, escalators and moving walkways are installed. □ Fire safety systems.

1239

Similarly, List B in Section 22 identifies excluded structures and other assets. Both sections are, however, subject to Section 23. This section sets out expenditure, which although being part of a building, may still be expenditure on the provision of Plant and Machinery. List C in Section 23 is reproduced below:

LIST C EXPENDITURE UNAFFECTED BY SECTIONS 21 AND 22 Sections 21 and 22 do not affect the question whether expenditure on any item in List C is expenditure on the provision of Plant or Machinery 1. Machinery (including devices for providing motive power) not within any other item in this list. 2. Electrical systems (including lighting systems) and cold water, gas and sewerage systems provided mainly (a) to meet the particular requirements of the qualifying activity, or (b) to serve particular Plant or Machinery used for the purposes of the qualifying activity. 3. Space or water heating systems; powered systems of ventilation, air cooling or air purification; and any floor or ceiling comprised in such systems. 4. Manufacturing or processing equipment; storage equipment (including cold rooms); display equipment; and counters, checkouts and similar equipment. 5. Cookers, washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators and similar equipment; washbasins, sinks, baths, showers, sanitary ware and similar equipment; and furniture and furnishings. 6. Lifts, hoists, escalators and moving walkways. 7. Sound insulation provided mainly to meet the particular requirements of the qualifying activity. 8. Computer, telecommunication and surveillance systems (including their wiring or other links). 9. Refrigeration or cooling equipment. 10. Fire alarm systems; sprinkler and other equipment for extinguishing or containing fires. 11. Burglar alarm systems. 12. Strong rooms in bank or building society premises; safes. 13. Partition walls, where moveable and intended to be moved in the course of the qualifying activity. 14. Decorative assets provided for the enjoyment of the public in hotel, restaurant or similar trades. 15. Advertising hoardings; signs, displays and similar assets.

16. Swimming pools (including diving boards, slides and structures on which such boards or slides are mounted). 17. Any glasshouse constructed so that the required environment (namely, air, heat, light, irrigation and temperature) for the growing of plants is provided automatically by means of devices forming an integral part of its structure. 18. Cold stores. 19. Caravans provided mainly for holiday lettings. 20. Buildings provided for testing aircraft engines run within the buildings. 21. Moveable buildings intended to be moved in the course of the qualifying activity. 22. The alteration of land for the purpose only of installing Plant or Machinery. 23. The provision of dry docks. 24. The provision of any jetty or similar structure provided mainly to carry Plant or Machinery. 25. The provision of pipelines or underground ducts or tunnels with a primary purpose of carrying utility conduits. 26. The provision of towers to support floodlights. 27. The provision of— (a) any reservoir incorporated into a water treatment works, or (b) any service reservoir of treated water for supply within any housing estate or other particular locality. 28. The provision of— (a) silos provided for temporary storage, or (b) storage tanks. 29. The provision of slurry pits or silage clamps. 30. The provision of fish tanks or fish ponds. 31. The provision of rails, sleepers and ballast for a railway or tramway. 32. The provision of structures and other assets for providing the setting for any ride at an amusement park or exhibition. 33. The provision of fixed zoo cages. Case Law The fact that an item appears in List C does not automatically mean that it will qualify for capital allowances. It only means that it may potentially qualify. Guidance about the meaning of plant has to be found in case law. The cases go back a long way, beginning in 1887. The current state of the law on the meaning of plant derives from the decision in the case of Wimpy International Ltd v Warland and Associated Restaurants Ltd v Warland in the late 1980s. The Judge in that case said that there were three tests to be applied when considering whether or not an item is plant. 1. Is the item stock in trade? If the answer yes, then the item is not plant.

Capital allowances

1241

2. Is the item used for carrying on the business? In order to pass the business use test the item must be employed in carrying on the business; it is not enough for the asset to be simply used in the business. For example, product display lighting in a retail store may be plant but general lighting in a warehouse would fail the test. 3. Is the item the business premises or part of the business premises? An item cannot be plant if it fails the premises test, i.e. if the business use is as the premises (or part of the premises) or place on which the business is conducted. The meaning of part of the premises in this context should not be confused with the law of real property. The Inland Revenue’s internal manuals suggest there are four general factors to be considered, each of which is a question of fact and degree: □ Does the item appear visually to retain a separate identity □ With what degree of permanence has it been attached to the building □ To what extent is the structure complete without it □ To what extent is it intended to be permanent or alternatively is it likely to be replaced within a short period There is obviously a core list of items that will usually qualify in the majority of cases. However, many other still need to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. For example, decorative assets in a hotel restaurant may be plant but similar assets in an office reception area would almost certainly not be. Refurbishment Schemes Building refurbishment projects will typically be a mixture of capital costs and revenue expenses, unless the works are so extensive that they are more appropriately classified a redevelopment. A straightforward repair or a “like for like” replacement of part of an asset would be a revenue expense, meaning that the entire amount can be deducted from taxable profits in the same year. Where capital expenditure is incurred that is incidental to the installation of plant or machinery then Section 25 of the 2001 Act allows it to be treated as part of the expenditure on the qualifying item. Incidental expenditure will often include parts of the building that would be otherwise disallowed, as shown in the Lists reproduced above. For example, the cost of forming a lift shaft inside an existing building would be deemed to be part of the expenditure on the provision of the lift. Rate of Allowances Capital Allowances on plant and machinery are given in the form of writing down allowances at the rate of 25% per annum on a reducing balance basis. For every £100 of qualifying expenditure £25 is claimable in year 1, £18.75 in year 2 and so on until either the all the allowances have been claimed or the asset is sold. In addition to the basic rate, enhanced rates are available to certain types of business and on certain classes of asset. Capital expenditure on plant and machinery by a small and medium sized enterprise attracts a 40% first year allowance. In subsequent years allowances are available at the

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1242

25% rate mentioned above. The definition of small and medium sized enterprise is broadly one that meets at least 2 of the following criteria: □ Turnover not more than £11.2 m □ Assets not more than £5.6 m □ Not more than 250 employees First year allowances are not generally available on the provision of plant and machinery for leasing. The Enhanced Capital Allowances Scheme The scheme is one of a series of measures introduced to ensure that the UK meets its target for reducing greenhouse gases under the Kyoto Protocol. 100% first year allowances are available on products included on the Energy Technology Product List published on the DETR website at http://www.eca.gov.uk/ and other technologies supported by the scheme. All businesses will be able to claim the enhanced allowances, but only investments in new and unused Machinery and Plant can qualify. Leased assets only qualify from 17 April 2002. Eight technologies were originally covered by the scheme and a further five technologies were added in the Finance Act 2002: □ Combined heat and power e.g. utilisation of the heat produced as a waste by-product in power stations. □ Boilers. □ Motors. □ Variable Speed Drives. □ Refrigeration. □ Pipe Insulation. □ Thermal screens. □ Lighting. □ Heat pumps □ Radiant and warm air heaters □ Solar heaters □ Energy-efficient refrigeration equipment □ Compressor equipment Buildings and structures as defined above and long life assets as discussed below cannot qualify. Information and Communications Technology In addition to utilising the tax system to direct investment towards environmentally friendly technology, the Government also wants to ensure small business remains globally competitive through investment in computers and the like. 100% first year allowances are also available on expenditure incurred on “Information and

Communications Technology” by a small enterprise between 1 April 2000 and 31 March 2003. The three classes of ICT defined in the Finance Act 2000 are: □ Computers, peripheral devices, data connection equipment and cabling and dedicated electrical systems □ WAP phones, third generation mobile phones, and devices for receiving and transmitting information to and from data networks and similar devices connected to a television set □ Software The definition of a small enterprise is broadly one that meets at least 2 of the following criteria: □ Turnover not more than £2.8 m □ Assets not more than £1.4 m □ Not more than 50 employees Long Life Assets A reduced writing down allowance of 6% per annum is available on plant and machinery that is a long-life asset. A long-life asset is defined as plant and machinery that can reasonably be expected to have a useful economic life of at least 25 years. The useful economic life is taken as the period from first use until it is likely to cease to be used as a fixed asset of any business. It is important to note that this likely to be a shorter period than an item’s physical life. Plant and machinery provided for use in a building used wholly or mainly as dwelling house, showroom, hotel, office or retail shop or similar premises, or for purposes ancillary to such use, cannot be long-life assets. In contrast plant and machinery assets in buildings such as factories, cinemas, hospitals and so on are all potentially long-life assets. Industrial Building Allowances An industrial building (or structure) is defined in Sections 271 and 274 of the 2001 Act and includes buildings used for the following qualifying purposes: □ Manufacturing □ Processing □ Storage □ Agricultural contracting □ Working foreign plantations □ Fishing □ Mineral extraction The following undertakings are also qualifying trades:

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1244

□ Electricity □ Water □ Hydraulic power □ Sewerage □ Transport □ Highway undertakings □ Tunnels □ Bridges □ Inland navigation □ Docks The definition is extended to include buildings provided for the welfare of workers in a qualifying trade and sports pavilions provided and used for the welfare of workers in any trade. Vehicle repair workshops and roads on industrial estates may also form part of the qualifying expenditure. Retail shops, showrooms, offices, dwelling houses and buildings used ancillary to a retail purpose are specifically excluded. Writing Down Allowances Allowances are given on qualifying expenditure at the rate of 4% per annum on a straight-line basis over 25 years. The allowance is given if the building is being used for a qualifying purpose on the last day of the accounting period. Where the building is used for a non-qualifying purpose that year’s allowance is lost. A purchaser of used industrial building will be entitled to allowances equal to, in very simple terms, the original construction cost after adjustment for any periods of nonqualifying use. The allowances will be spread equally over the remaining period to the date twenty-five years after first use. The only exception to this rule is where the purchaser acquires the building unused from a property developer when the allowances will be based on the purchase price. Hotel Allowances Industrial Building Allowances are also available on capital expenditure incurred on constructing a “qualifying hotel”. The building must not only be a “hotel” in the normal sense of the word, but must also be a “qualifying hotel” as defined in Section 279 of the 2001 Act, which means satisfying the following conditions: □ The accommodation is in buildings of a permanent nature □ It is open for at least 4 months in the season (April to October) □ It has 10 or more letting bedrooms □ The sleeping accommodation consists wholly or mainly of letting bedrooms □ The services that it provides include breakfast and an evening meal (i.e. there must be a restaurant), the making of beds and cleaning of rooms.

Capital allowances

1245

A hotel may be in more than one building and swimming pools, car parks and similar amenities are included in the definition. Enterprise Zones A 100% first year allowance is available on capital expenditure incurred on the construction (or the purchase within two years of first use) of any commercial building within a designated enterprise zone, within ten years of the site being so designated. Like other allowances given under the industrial buildings code the building has a life of twenty-five years for tax purposes. The majority of enterprise zones had reached the end of their ten-year life by 1993. However, in certain very limited circumstances it may still be possible to claim these allowances up to twenty years after the site was first designated. Flats Over Shops Tax relief is available on capital expenditure incurred on or after 11 May 2001 on the renovation or conversion of vacant or underused space above shops and other commercial premises to provide flats for rent. In order to qualify the property must have been built with 1980 and the expenditure incurred on, or in connection with: □ Converting part of a qualifying building into a qualifying flat. □ Renovating an existing flat in a qualifying building if the flat is, or will be a qualifying flat. □ Repairs incidental to conversion or renovation of a qualifying flat, and □ The cost of providing access to the flat(s). The property must not have more than 4 storeys above the ground floor and it must appear that, when the property was constructed, the floors above the ground floor were primarily for residential use. The ground floor must be authorised for business use at the time of the conversion work and for the period during which the flat is held for letting. Each new flat must be a self-contained dwelling, with external access separate from the ground-floor premises. It must have no more than 4 rooms, excluding kitchen and bathroom. None flats can be “high value” flats, as defined in the legislation. The new flats must be available for letting as a dwelling for a period of not more than 5 years. An initial allowance of 100 per cent is available or, alternatively, a lower amount may be claimed, in which case the balance may be claimed at a rate of 25 per cent per annum in subsequent a years. The allowances may be recovered if the flat is sold or ceases to be let within 7 years Agricultural Buildings Allowances are available on capital expenditure incurred on the construction of buildings and works for the purposes of husbandry on land in the UK. Agricultural building means

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1246

a building such as a farmhouse or farm building, a fence or other works. A maximum of only one-third of the expenditure on a farmhouse may qualify. Husbandry includes any method of intensive rearing of livestock or fish on a commercial basis for the production of food for human consumption, and the cultivation of short rotation coppice. Over the years the Courts have held that sheep grazing and poultry farming are husbandry, and that a dairy business and the rearing of pheasants for sport are not. Where the use is partly for other purposes the expenditure can be apportioned. The rate of allowances available and the way in which the system operates is very similar to that described above for industrial buildings. However, no allowance is ever given if the first use of the building is not for husbandry. A different treatment is also applied following acquisition of a used building unless the parties to the transaction elect otherwise. Other Capital Allowances Other types of allowances include those available for capital expenditure on Mineral Extraction, Research and Development, Know-How, Patents, Dredging and Assured Tenancy.

VAT AND CONSTRUCTION Introduction Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax on the consumption of goods and services. The UK adopted VAT when it joined the European Community in 1973. The principal source of European law in relation to VAT is the EC Sixth Directive 77/388 which is currently restated and consolidated in the UK through the VAT Act 1994 and various Statutory Instruments as amended by subsequent Finance Bills. The tax is administered in the UK by HM Customs & Excise. VAT Notice 708: Buildings and construction (August 1997) gives the interpretation of the law in connection with construction works from the point of view of Customs and Excise. VAT tribunals and court decisions since the date of this publication will affect the application of the law in certain instances. This leaflet is available from any VAT Business Advice Centre. The telephone and address is in local telephone books under “Customs and Excise”. It is also available from the internet. The Customs and Excise website address is http://www.hmce.gov.uk/. The scope of VAT VAT is payable on: □ Supplies of goods and services made in the UK or the Isle of Man; □ By a taxable person □ In the course or furtherance of business; and □ Which are not specifically exempted or zero-rated. Rates of VAT There are three rates of VAT: □ A standard rate, currently 17.5% □ A reduced rate, currently 5%; and □ A zero rate. Additionally some supplies are exempt from VAT and others are outside the scope of VAT. Recovery of VAT When a taxpayer makes taxable supplies he must account for VAT at the appropriate rate of either 17.5% or 5%. This VAT then has to be passed to Customs & Excise. This VAT will normally be charged to the taxpayer’s customers. As a VAT registered person, the taxpayer can reclaim from Customs and Excise as much of the VAT incurred on their purchases as relates to the standard-rated, reduced-

VAT and construction

1249

rated and zero-rated onward supplies they make. A person cannot however reclaim VAT which relates to any non-business activity or to any exempt supplies they make. At predetermined intervals the taxpayer will pay to Customs and Excise the excess of VAT collected over the VAT they can reclaim. However if the VAT reclaimed is more than the VAT collected, the taxpayer can reclaim the difference from Customs and Excise. Example X Ltd constructs a block of flats. It sells long leases to buyers for a premium. X Ltd has constructed a new building designed as a dwelling and will have granted a long lease. This sale of a long lease is VAT zero-rated. This means any VAT incurred in connection with the development which X Ltd will have paid (e.g. payments for consultants and certain preliminary services) will be reclaimable. For reasons detailed below the builder employed by X Ltd will not have charged VAT on his construction services. Taxable Persons A taxable person is an individual, firm, company etc who is required to be registered for VAT. A person who makes taxable supplies above certain value limits is required to be registered. The current registration limit is £55,000 for 2002–03. The threshold is exceeded if at the end of any month the value of taxable supplies in the period of one year then ending is over the limit, or at any time, if there is reasonable grounds for believing that the value of the taxable supplies in the period of 30 days than beginning will exceed £55,000. A person who makes taxable supplies below these limits is entitled to be registered on a voluntary basis if they wish, in order, for example, to recover VAT incurred in relation to those taxable supplies. In addition, a person who is not registered for VAT in the UK but acquires goods from another EC member state, or make distance sales in the UK, above certain value limits may be required to register for VAT in the UK. VAT Exempt Supplies If a supply is exempt from VAT this means that no tax is payable—but equally the person making the exempt supply cannot normally recover any of the VAT on their own expenses. Generally property transactions such as leasing of land and buildings are exempt unless a landlord chooses to standard-rate its supplies by a process known as electing to waive exemption—more commonly known as opting to tax. This means that VAT is added to rental income and also that VAT incurred, on say, an expensive refurbishment, is recoverable. Supplies outside the scope of VAT Supplies are outside the scope of VAT if they are: □ Made by someone who is not a taxable person □ Made outside the UK and the Isle of Man; or

Spon's civil engineering and highway works price book

1250

□ Not made in the course or furtherance of business In course or furtherance of business VAT must be accounted for on all taxable supplies made in the course or furtherance of business with the corresponding recovery of VAT on expenditure incurred. If a taxpayer also carries out non-business activities then VAT incurred in relation to such supplies is not recoverable. In VAT terms, business means any activity continuously performed which is mainly concerned with making supplies for a consideration. This includes: □ Any one carrying on a trade, vocation or profession; □ The provision of membership benefits by a clubs, associations and similar bodies in return for a subscription or other consideration; and □ Admission to premises for a charge. It may also include the activities of clubs and other recreational bodies including charities and non-profit making bodies. Examples of non-business activities are: □ Providing free services or information; □ Maintaining museums, or particular historic sites; □ Publishing religious or political views. Construction Services In general the provision of construction services by a contractor will be VAT standard rated at 17.5%, however, there are a number of VAT reliefs for construction services provided in relation to certain residential and charitable use buildings. The supply of building materials is VAT standard rated at 17.5%, however, where these materials are supplied as part of the construction services the VAT liability of those materials follows that of the construction services supplied. Zero-rated construction services At the time of the 2002 Budget the following construction services are VAT zero-rated including related building materials. The construction of new dwellings The supply of services in the course of the construction of a building designed for use as a dwelling or number of dwellings is zero-rated other than the services of an architect, surveyor or any other person acting as a consultant or in a supervisory capacity. The following conditions must be satisfied in order for the works to qualify for zerorating:

VAT and construction

1251

1. the work must not amount to the conversion, reconstruction or alteration of an existing building; 2. the work must not be an enlargement of, or extension to, an existing building except to the extent the enlargement or extension creates an additional dwelling or dwellings; 3. the building must be designed as a dwelling or number of dwellings. Each dwelling must consist of self-contained living accommodation with no provision fro direct internal access from the dwelling to any other dwelling or part of a dwelling; 4. statutory planning consent must have been granted for the construction of the dwelling, and that construction carried out in accordance with that consent; 5. separate use or disposal of the dwelling must not be prohibited by the terms of any covenant, statutory planning consent or similar provision. The construction of a garage at the same time as the dwelling can also be zero-rated as can the demolition of any existing building on the site of the new dwelling A building only ceases to be an existing building (see points 1. and 2. above) when it is: 1. demolished completely to ground level; or when 2. the part remaining above ground level consists of no more than a single façade (or a double façade on a corner site) the retention of which is a condition or requirement of statutory planning consent or similar permission. The construction of a new building for ‘relevant residential or charitable’ use The supply of services in the course of the construction of a building designed for use as a relevant residential or charitable building is zero-rated other than the services of an architect, surveyor or any other person acting as a consultant or in a supervisory capacity. A ‘relevant residential’ use building means: 1. a home or other institution providing residential accommodation for children; 2. a home or other institution providing residential accommodation with personal care for persons in need of personal care by reason of old age, disablement, past or present dependence on alcohol or drugs or past or present mental disorder; 3. a hospice; 4. residential accommodation for students or school pupils 5. residential accommodation for members of any of the armed forces; 6. a monastery, nunnery, or similar establishment; or 7. an institution which is the sole or main residence of at least 90% of its residents. A ‘relevant residential’ purpose building does not include use as a hospital, a prison or similar institution or as an hotel, inn or similar establishment. A ‘relevant charitable’ use means use by a charity: 1. otherwise than in the course or furtherance of a business; or 2. as a village hall or similarly in providing social or recreational facilities for a local community.

Non qualifying use which is not expected to exceed 10% of the time the building is normally available for use can be ignored. The calculation of business use can be time based, floor area based or on a head count with approval required from Customs and Excise. The construction services can only be zero-rated if a certificate is given by the end user to the contractor carrying out the works confirming that the building is to be used for a qualifying purpose i.e. for a ‘relevant residential or charitable’ purpose. The construction of an annex used for a ‘relevant charitable’ purpose The construction services provided in the course of construction of an annexe for use entirely or partly for a ‘relevant charitable’ purpose can be zero-rated. In order to qualify the annexe must: 1. be capable of functioning independently from the existing building; 2. have its own main entrance; and 3. be covered by a qualifying use certificate. The conversion of a non-residential building into dwellings or the conversion of a building from non-residential use to ‘relevant residential’ use where the supply is to a ‘relevant’ housing association The supply to a ‘relevant’ housing association in the course of conversion of a nonresidential building or non-residential part of a building into: 1. a building or part of a building designed as a dwelling or number of dwellings; or 2. a building or part of a building for use solely for a relevant residential purpose, of any services related to the conversion other than the services of an architect, surveyor or any person acting as a consultant or in a supervisory capacity are zero-rated. A ‘relevant’ housing association is defined as: 1. a registered social landlord within the meaning of Part I of the Housing Act 1996 2. a registered housing association within the meaning of the Housing Associations Act 1985 (Scottish registered housing associations), or 3. a registered housing association within the meaning of Part II of the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1992 (Northern Irish registered housing associations). If the building is to be used for a ‘relevant residential’ purpose the housing associations should issue a qualifying use certificate to the contractor completing the works. The construction of a permanent park for residential caravans The supply in the course of the construction of any civil engineering work ‘necessary for’ the development of a permanent park for residential caravans of any services related to the construction can be VAT zero-rated. This includes access roads, paths, drainage, sewerage and the installation of mains water, power and gas supplies.

Certain building alterations for handicapped persons Certain goods and services supplied to a handicapped person, or a charity making these items and services available to handicapped persons can be zero-rated. The recipient of these goods or services needs to give the supplier an appropriate written declaration that they are entitled to benefit from the zero rating. The following services (amongst others) are zero-rated: 1. the installation of specialist lifts and hoists and their repair and maintenance 2. the construction of ramps, widening doorways or passageways including any preparatory work and making good work 3. the provision, extension and adaptation of a bathroom, washroom or lavatory; and 4. emergency alarm call systems Approved alterations to protected buildings A supply in the course of an ‘approved alteration’ to a ‘protected building’ of any services other than the services of an architect, surveyor or any person acting as consultant or in a supervisory capacity can be zero-rated. A ‘protected building’ is defined as a building that is: 1. designed to remain as or become a dwelling or number of dwellings after the alterations; or 2. is intended for use for a ‘relevant residential or charitable purpose’ after the alterations; and which is; 3. a listed building or scheduled ancient monument. A listed building does not include buildings that are in conservation areas but not on the statutory list or buildings included in non-statutory local lists. An ‘approved alteration’ is an alteration to a ‘protected building’ that requires and has obtained listed building consent or scheduled monument consent. This consent is necessary for any works that affect the character of a building of special architectural or historic interest. It is important to note that ‘approved alterations’ do not include any works of repair or maintenance or any incidental alteration to the fabric of a building which results from the carrying out of repairs, or maintenance work. A ‘protected building’ that is intended for use for a ‘relevant residential or charitable purpose’ will require the production of a qualifying use certificate by the end user to the contractor providing the alteration services. Listed Churches are ‘relevant charitable’ use buildings and therefore where ‘approved alterations’ are being carried out the zero-rate of VAT can be applied. Additionally following an announcement in the 2001 Budget listed places of worship can apply for a grant on repair and maintenance works equal to the difference between the 17.5% paid for the repair and maintenance works and the value if the works had been charged at 5%. Information relating to the scheme can be obtained from the website http://www.lpwscheme.org.uk/

DIY Builders and Converters Private individuals who decide to construct their own home are able to reclaim VAT they pay out on goods they use to construct their home by use of a special refund mechanism made by way of an application to Customs & Excise. This also applies to services provided in the conversion of an existing non-residential building to from a new dwelling. The scheme is meant to ensure that private individuals do not suffer the burden of VAT if they decide to construct their own home. Charities may also qualify for a refund on the purchase of materials incorporated into a building used for non-business purposes where they provide their own free labour for the construction of a ‘relevant charitable’ use building. Reduced-rate construction services Following the 2002 Budget the construction services detailed below can be treated at the reduced rate of VAT of 5%. A changed number of dwellings conversion In order to qualify for the 5% rate there must be a different number of ‘single household dwellings’ within a building than there were before commencement of the conversion works. A ‘single household dwelling’ is defined as a dwelling that is designed for occupation by a single household. These conversions can be from ‘relevant residential’ purpose buildings, nonresidential buildings and houses in multiple occupation. A house in multiple occupation conversion This relates to construction services provided in the course of converting a ‘single household dwelling’, a number of ‘single household dwellings’ or a ‘relevant residential’ purpose building into a house for multiple occupation such as a bed-sitting accommodation. A special residential conversion A special residential conversion involves the conversion of a ‘single household dwelling’, a house in multiple occupation or a non-residential property into a ‘relevant residential’ purpose building such as student accommodation or a care home. Renovation of derelict dwellings The provision of renovation services in connection with a dwelling, ‘relevant residential’ purpose building and multiple occupation dwelling that has been derelict for three or more years can be carried out at a reduced rate of VAT of 5%.

Installation of energy saving materials The installation of certain energy saving materials including insulation, draught stripping, central heating and hot water controls and solar panels can be provided at a reduced rate of VAT. Installation, maintenance and repair of central heating systems The grant funded installation, maintenance and repair of central heating systems to qualifying persons and those on benefits will be at a reduced rate of VAT of 5%. Installation of security goods If in conjunction with the installation of energy saving materials or qualifying works to central heating systems for qualifying pensioners then any security goods also installed can be treated at the reduced rate. Building Contracts Design and build contracts If a contractor provides a design and build service relating to works that are entitled to a reduced or zero rate of VAT any design costs incurred by the contractor will follow the VAT liability of the principal supply of construction services. Management contracts A management contractor acts as a main contractor for VAT purposes and the VAT liability of his services will follow that of the construction services provided. If the management contractor only provides advice without engaging trade contractors his services will be VAT standard rated. Construction Management and Project Management The project manger or construction management is appointed by the client to plan, manage and co-ordinate a construction project. This will involve establishing competitive bids for all the elements of the work and the appointment of trade contractors. The trade contractors are engaged directly by the client for their services. The VAT liability of the trade contractors will be determined by the nature of the construction services they provide and the building being constructed. The fees of the construction manager or project manager will be VAT standard rated. If the construction manager also provides some construction services these works may be zero or reduced rated if the works qualify. NBW Crosher & James
