his Tender, otherwise, it will be deemed to have been included.
2.0
PROGRAMME AND PROGRESS OF WORKS

Within 30 days after the acceptance of tender, the Contractor shall submit
to the S.O. for his approval three (3) copies of a detailed programme in
Microsoft Project format showing the time order, procedure and method
in which the Contractor propose to carry out the Works, and shall
whenever required by the S.O. or his representative, furnish for his

such programme or the furnishing of such particulars shall not relieve the
Contractor of any of his duties or responsibilities under this Contract.
If at any time it should appear to the S.O. that the actual progress of the
Works does not conform to the approved programme referred to herein,
the Contractor shall produce, at the request of the S.O. a revised
programme showing the modifications to the previously approved
programme necessary to ensure the completion of the whole Works within
the time set for completion.
3.0
CONSTRUCTION SITE
The location of the Site is shown on the Drawings. The Contractor shall be
deemed to have inspected the Site before tendering and to take into
account all the conditions there, such as means of access, facilities for
transport, storage and movement of plants and materials, and any other
contingencies liable to affect his tender price, as no claim for extra payment
in this connection will be entertained.
The Contractor shall be liable for and shall indemnify SAVAN DKLS against
any damage, expense, liability, loss, claim or proceedings whatsoever
whether arising at common l aw or by statute in respe ct of personnel
i nj ury to or de ath of any person whomsoever or to any property arising

4.0
PREPARATION OF THE WORK AREA
4.1
Detection of Existing Utilities and Services
2013
The Contractor shall investigate, and have full knowledge of the position of
existing utilities and underground services such as drains, pipes, electric
cables, culverts, etc. He shall take all necessary precaution as part of his
work. He shall undertake the following:-
4.2
i.
Detailed utility detection using radio and or ultrasonic machine. The

drawings must be submitted to the S.O in 2 set in A1 size, coloured to
differentiate the type of services. The type of utility, size and depth shall
be clearly indicated.
ii.
Where necessary, trial pits and exploration trenches to ascertain the

exact portions of these services shall be excavated, well ahead of
pipe repair / maintenance excavation, in places where they are known
or thought to be and elsewhere and these shall be backfilled with
approved materials.
iii.
All damages to the existing services shall be made good to the

satisfaction of SAVAN-DKLS and the relevant authorities.
Isolation of Valves
Before any excavation, SAVAN-DKLS representative and the Contractor shall
jointly locate all valves & pipelines in the area.
1. Ascertain the type, size and estimated length of pipe that may be
affected due to the excavation and repair works. The information will
enable the maintenance team to mobilize the appropriate tools, spare
parts, etc. The information will be important in estimating the volume of
water loss due to pipe bursts or pipe leaks .
2. Sketch the location plan and the distribution network layout in a Record
Form for updating and record purposes.
3. SAVAN-DKLS representative shall identify all isolating and scour valves
affected by the pipe to be repaired as well as valves located in the
vicinity. It is important to ensure that water scouring will not result in
flooding of the area, in particular the area for excavation.
Prior to excavation, shut the isolating valves as identified. As a direct
effect, the pipeline pressure will drop and hence, water will stop. When
this has been confirmed, the scour valves may be opened to discharge
the remaining water from the main prior to excavation work.
4. However, if water pressure neither drops nor leakage subsides after
closing of the identifi ed valve, then SAVAN-DKLS representative and
his team may need to locate any possible unknown inter-connections.
2013
5. When the inter-connections have been identifi ed, the isolating valve
shall be shut to facilitate repair work. Update the sketch of the pipe layout
in the attached Record Form. The sketch shall then be submitted to SAVANDKLS representative upon completion.
4.3
Trench Excavation / Cutting of Premix Road

The trench shall be excavated by such method as allowed by SAVANDKLS for proper maintenance and repair work.
1.
Trench excavation shall be carried out by such methods and to such

lines, dimensions and depths to allow for the proper construction of the
works.
2.

excavated materials by the road-side. Excavated materials shall be
carted away to a waiting lorry and transported to dump site to be
determined by the Contractor.
4.
In cases where the trench depth exceeds 1.5 m, sheet pile wall or
strutting of trenchs wall shall be provided to prevent any untoward
incident such as cave in from happening.
Dewatering of Trench
The Contractor shall note that certain parts of the pipeline may be laid in
ground with high water table, especially in areas adjacent to the streams, river
crossings and ponds.
1.
The Contractor shall allow cost for dewatering and keeping all the
excavations and trenches dry for the pipeline repair work to be carried in a
safe manner during the execution of the work.

schemes or housing estates under development or are in the sidetables of minor rural roads.
The S.O. may, at his absolute discretion, vary the distances stated
above if he considers that traffi c, road or weather conditions or road
side-table limitations warrant the variation.
Unless the S.O. permits otherwise, the trenches shall be excavated to the
widths given in Table B1 below.

Where pipes are to be laid on a concrete bed, the width of the excavation
at the bottom of the trench shall be the width of the underside of the
concrete bed. At all joints the trench shall be so excavated as to give a
working space of not less than 300mm all round the joint. Where bends are
made by deflecting pipes at joints the trench shall be widen to permit this
operation. The sides of the trench shall be cut vertical, and where
necessary, shall be protected against caving in by timbering to the
approval of the S.O.
The trench shall be excavated to the depths intended or shown in the
Drawings and shall be finished and trimmed accurately to level and grade.
Where no invert levels are shown or indicated the bottom of the trench
shall be graded so that the pipe invert slopes evenly between the adjacent
invert levels.
Should the ground be so wet or soft that, in the opinion of the S.O. it does
not from a firm base for the pipe, or should rock be encountered at the
bottom of the trench, the trench shall be excavated 250mm below the
level intended or shown in the Drawings and then brought back to the
correct level with sand well rammed into place. Such deepening of pipe
trench and filling back shall be treated as a variation under the terms of
the Contract. Should the bottom of the trench be inadvertently excavated
below the specified level, it shall be bought back, at the Contractors
expense, to the correct level with sand carefully rammed into place.
5.0
ROCK EXCAVATION
Rock shall mean those geological strata of hard material which necessitate the
use of blasting or approved pneumatic tools for their removal. Solid
boulders found in trench excavation and foundation pits shall be
considered as rock if such boulder is of size each exceeding 0.08 cubic
metre or each exceeding 0.17 cubic metre if occurring in general
excavations.
Shale and clay boulders shall not be classified as rock. The S.O.s
decision as to whether or not the material of the excavation is to be classified
as rock shall be final.
Notwithstanding the above, rock shall not include materials which in the
judgment of the S.O. can be loosened with a tractor mounted and
drawn ripper of the following description:
2013
The Contractor shall be entitled to extra payment for rock excavation

only if reasonable notice is given to the S.O. to examine and measure such
material prior to breaking up. The volume of rock excavated shall be
taken as its volume in-situ before it is broken up.

UNAUTHORIZED EXCESSIVE EXCAVATION

Unless otherwise directed or approved by the S.O., if any excavation including
rock excavation is carried beyond the limits on or against which permanent
work is to be supported in accordance with the Drawings, the Contractor
shall at his own expense be required to fi ll the excess excavation with
Grade 20 mix concrete or other suitable materials acceptable to the S.O.
9.0
ADDITIONAL EXCAVATION ORDERED BY THE S.O.

If after excavating the sites on which the various parts of the Works are
to be constructed, it is found that any part of the formation is unsuitable
to provide a satisfactory foundation, such portion shall be further excavated
to such depths as the S.O. may direct and refilled to the correct formation
level with Grade 20 concrete or other selected materials acceptable to the
S.O. Such extra excavation and refilling shall be treated as a variation under
the terms of the Contract.
10.0
TIMBER LEFT IN EXCAVATION

If, in the opinion of the S.O., it is necessary to leave in position any timbering,
the Contractor shall be paid at the rate stated in the Bill of Quantities
provided that, in the opinion of the S.O., the necessity of leaving the
timbering has not arisen from carelessness or negligence on the part of the
Contractor.
11.0
EXCAVATION IN ROADS
No trench is to be excavated in the carriageway unless specific approval
has been given by the local authority. The whole operation of excavation and
reinstatement of the trench shall be completed as quickly as possible.
The Contractor shall ensure that minimum interference to traffic flow is
maintained at all times.
A joint site inspection shall be arranged by the Contractor before
commencement of work if so requested by the local authority. After pegging
out, the Contractor shall inform the local authority and the police of the
actual date of commencement at least one week in advance of and on the
day of commencement.
All materials from the excavation, if accepted for backfilling shall be neatly
stacked outside the carriageway. Where there is no place to stack the
excavated materials outside the carriageway, all excavated materials shall be
removed from the work site immediately after excavation.
2013
Where specifi c approval has been given by for half width construction,
the traffic lines may be reduced to not less than 4.0 metres wide and where
necessary, the shoulder should be strengthened by the Contractor to
accommodate traffic load to the satisfaction of the S.O. and at the Contractors
cost.
Trenches shall be provided with adequate shuttering, walling and struts to
prevent the adjoining road pavement from cracking and subsiding.
If a road diversion is required, the Contractor shall build it to the
specifications of the appropriate local authority. It shall be maintained to
allow for smooth traffi c flow until the reinstatement is completed.
Carriageway excavation across important and busy road and junctions
shall be carried out during off-peak hours e.g. Saturday afternoons,
Sundays or at night. The S.O. will specify the appropriate times based on
the merits of each case and such conditions shall be strictly adhered to by
the Contractor.
12.0

Where the pipeline crosses underneath streams, culverts and other watercourses, the Contractor shall be deemed to have allowed for all
additional measures necessary for the proper construction of the pipeline
especially maintaining the flow of water.
13.0
INSPECTION
Until the S.O. has inspected and approved the excavation, no concrete
shall be placed and no pipes shall be laid upon the surface prepared by
excavation. Any work built on foundations which have not been approved
by the S.O., shall on the order of the S.O., be uncovered or removed by the
Contractor and the foundations reinstated all at the Contractors own
expense.
14.0
BACKFILLING OF EXCAVATIONS OTHER THAN PIPE TRENCHES

Backfilling of all excavations shall not be carried out until the works
therein have been inspected and approved by the S.O. In backfilling
excavations other than pipe trench excavations, approved portions of the
excavated materials shall be employed. Where required, approved materials
shall be brought to site for backfilling works. The materials shall be
deposited and spread in layers of not more than 300 mm deep, and each
layer shall be thoroughly rammed by a mechanical vibrating tamper or
smooth wheel roller and watered if required.
If so directed by the S.O., the backfilling shall be finished off slightly proud
of the surrounding ground to allow for settlement, but the contractor shall
make good any settlement, which may occur during the construction of the
works and during the Defects Liability Period of the Contract at his own
expense.
15.0
BACKFILLING OF PIPE TRENCHES

After the pipe laying has been approved by the S.O. and before the
pipelines are tested, only suffi cient backfi lling of the trenches to
2013
prevent snaking and to maintain the pipes in position will be

permitted, but all joints shall be left exposed. However, i n the case of uPVC
pipes , complete backfilling is required before testing. In low lying ground or
any other locality where the trench may be filled with water and cause
floatation of the pipes, or elsewhere as my be decided by the S.O., the
backfilling shall follow the pipe laying as closely as possible.
2013
In backfilling pipe trenches, only approved sand free from stones or rocks
shall be carefully spread along the trench bottom between the pipes and the
trench walls to a depth of about 150 mm and shall be hand rammed.
Further layers each of about 150 mm thick of the same material shall
then be spread and rammed in the same manner up to the top of the pipe.
I t s h a l l b e p l a c e d i n l a ye r s e a c h o f 1 5 0 m m t h i c k n e s s a n d h a n d o r
mechanically rammed until the backfill is 500mm above the top of the
pipes. The rest of the trench backfill shall be in layers each of 300mm
thickness and compacted by a mechanical vibrating tamper to fi nish off
slightly proud of the surrounding ground. The degree of compaction of
each layer shall not be less than 95 percent of the dry density obtainable
using the BS Standard Compaction Test. The Contractor shall have to
make good any settlement to avoid formation of drains at gulleys within
the refilled trenches.
16.0
APPROVED FILL MATERIAL

Approved fill material to be used as backfill to the top of the pipes shall be
uniform low plasticity granular material. The material shall be free from all
organic or other materials subject to decay. Highly plastic or expansive
soils or clay shall not be used. The filling material shall be readily
compactable to its maximum density and must not form mud, or otherwise
breakdown when wet.
Should the material being placed as fill or backfill while acceptable at the
time of section, become unacceptable to the S.O. or his representatives
due to exposure to weather conditions or due to flooding or have become
puddled, soft or segregated during the process of the works, the Contractor
shall, at his own expense, removed such damaged, softened or segregated
material and replaced it with fresh approved material.
Where the pipeline crosses a road, approved sand shall be used as fill
material up to the road formation level.
17.0
ROAD REINSTATEMENT
Road reinstatement works shall be carried out by the Contractor to a
standard equivalent or superior to the road condition existing prior to
excavation and to the approval of the S.O.

organic soil, broken pre-mix or stones are to be used. The sand shall be
compacted 150mm layers. The degree of compaction of each layer below
the pavement course shall not be le ss than 95 pe rce nt of the dry
de nsi ty obtai nabl e usi ng the BS He avy Compaction Test. The
Contractor shall bear the cost of such tests and shall make good any works
which are found to be unsatisfactory.
Sand material shall be deposited in layers on both sides of the pipe
simultaneously and thoroughly compacted and around the pipe working
alternately on either side of the pipe until the trench have been fi lled up
to 150m above the top of the pipe except for pipes laid in roads where the
sand backfill shall be brought up to the base

Where necessary the Contractor shall adjust the moisture content of
the refi ll material either by drying out or by adding water to assist the
compaction of the material.
The road surface shall be reinstated with new materials of the type
existing on site. Edges of the reinstated road pavement shall be
straight and neatly finished to match the existing road to the satisfaction
of the S.O.
Final road surfaces over pipe trenches shall be reinstated within the
following periods or as per local authorities approval:
Along major roads Immediately after backfilling,
Along minor roads within 3 days after backfilling,
Pilot pits immediately after backfilling.
If the Contractor fails to carry out the reinstatement to the satisfaction of the
S.O. or any further reinstatement that may be necessary of any trenches
across roads and footpaths, the S.O. or the local authority may proceed with
such repairs and the cost of such reinstatement shall be deducted by the S.O.
from any payments due or to become due to the Contractor.

no right of ownership to the surplus materials excavated.
19 . 0
EMBANKMENTS
Embankments and filled areas shall be made by depositing approved soil in

regular layers not more than 300 mm in loose thickness. Each layer shall be
well compacted with approved mechanical rammers or rollers before the
next layer is placed. Compaction shall continue until the soil is at a
density not less than that of any adjacent cuttings in the in situ state. All
practical steps shall be taken to avoid the inclusion of excess water in the
fill and the finished surface of each layer shall be sufficiently even to
prevent the ponding of rain water in ruts and hollows. The S.O. may direct
the fi lling to stop in inclement weather. In dry weather eff ective
consolidation shall be assisted by watering. If the soil of the fill or the
previous layer of compacted soil is too moist for further effective
compaction, compaction shall be deferred until in the opinion of the S.O., it has
dried sufficiently. The Contractor
2013
shall disk harrow the soil to aid the drying if so directed by the S.O.
The fi ll materials shall be obtained from the surplus excavated materials
at the site of the works or from approved borrow pits.

such part, in the manner specified or as agreed with the S.O. in his
presence and such levels when agreed with him shall form the basis for
measurement.
The Contractor shall obtain the S.O.'s prior approval to the proposed
methods of obtaining and recording this information and shall aff ord the
S.O. all facilities to attend and check each survey and recording. The
Contractor shall give to the S.O. notice of his intention to carry out such
survey work at least 24 hours in advance of the commencement of the
survey. The Contractor shall carry out to the S.O.'s instructions, all
extra surveys required to resolve any doubts which may arise as to the
correctness of any survey or record and the S.O.'s decision shall be
fi nal regarding what shall be recorded as the correct survey.
A similar procedure shall be adopted to record any rock surface limits
and levels before they are blasted or excavated.
Each survey drawing with agreed data shall be referred to as a "Record
Survey" which shall be signed by the Contractor and the S.O. and shall
form the basis of measurement of the appropriate work. The Contractor
