construction.
In the event of ambiguity between Technical Specifications or Tender Drawings the highest
standard shall prevail.
5. CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Client ADWEA

The CONTRACTOR will provide all items, articles, materials, operations, sundries, labour,
supervision, guarantees, allowances for overhead and profit etc., shown or implied in any of
the CONTRACT documents including equipment, tools, scaffolds, and other incidentals as
may be required.
It is to be emphasized that the Technical Specifications and Tender Drawings represent the
Basic Engineering Design only. The CONTRACTOR shall visit the site(s), check the existing
installations and verify data, arrangements, conditions, limitations, available spaces, etc. all
proposed WORK(S) on adjacent sites and in adjacent areas which might affect the WORK(S)
on this site and any other information required by him to complete the work in accordance
with PROJECT requirements.
It is the CONTRACTOR's responsibility to visit the site and take such measurements which
are necessary to prepare detail engineering for the PROJECT according to his investigations
and findings which can be implemented to form a fully acceptable operating system that
meets the specific guaranteed values as set out in CONTRACT.
The CONTRACTOR shall note that ADWEA/ENGINEER shall not be responsible for any
differences in the final design data used by the CONTRACTOR and the basic data provided
in Technical Specifications and Tender Drawings; nor shall such eventuality be used by the
CONTRACTOR to demand any variations or additional money over and above the contracted
amount.
In complying with the requirements of the Specifications both with respect to arrangement and
detail, all design is to conform to the best current engineering practice. Each of the several
parts of the plant and equipment shall be of the manufacturer's standard design provided that
such design is in general accordance with the Technical Specifications and Tender Drawings.
The essence of design is to maintain simplicity in order to give long continuous service with
high economy and low maintenance cost.
The design, dimensions and materials of all parts shall be such that they will not suffer
damage as a result of stresses under the most severe service conditions.
The material used in the construction of all plant and equipment shall be of the highest quality
and selected particularly to meet the duties required of them.
All similar parts of the plant and equipment shall be interchangeable.
All equipment shall operate without undue vibration and with the least possible amount of
noise and shall not cause nuisance.
All equipment shall be designed to minimise the risk of fire and any damage which may be
caused in the event of fire.
The equipment shall also be designed to prevent the ingress of all vermin, accidental contact
with live parts and to minimise the ingress of dust and dirt. The use of materials which may be
liable to attack by termites or other insects shall be avoided.
Client ADWEA

The CONTRACTOR is bound to adhere to the design data and design criteria as stated in the
Technical Specifications and Tender Drawings. If, during the execution of the CONTRACT,
the CONTRACTOR intends to deviate from these data and / or criteria, he is obliged to ask
ADWEA/ENGINEER for approval, and to state the reasons for the same.
ADWEA/ENGINEER are free to accept or reject such deviations proposed by the
CONTRACTOR.
All design and drawings prepared by the CONTRACTOR shall be subject to approval by
ADWEA/ENGINEER.
Not withstanding any omissions and in addition to CONTRACTOR's General Obligations, it

shall be expressly understood that the CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for:
• Supplying, installing and commissioning complete systems and related works in

accordance with CONTRACT documents to satisfy the aim of the CONTRACT.
• Carrying out the works in such a manner so as to cause minimum disruptions to existing
works and services.
• Carrying out the works to the full intent of the CONTRACT, and to the full satisfaction of
ADWEA/ENGINEER.
6. QUALIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR/SUB-CONTRACTOR
Each CONTRACTOR/SUB-CONTRACTOR shall have the technical expertise to undertake a

quality work with similar demonstrably completed projects in the United Arab Emirates.
ADWEA/ENGINEER reserve the right to inspect any or all of the CONTRACTOR/SUB-
CONTRACTOR's designated similar projects and to approve, or otherwise, on the basis of the
work so demonstrated. ADWEA/ENGINEER may request certificates of satisfaction from
owners or consultants of other projects done by CONTRACTOR/SUB-CONTRACTOR(S).
Where the CONTRACTOR intends to do all parts of the WORK(S) using his own work force
he shall so indicate at tender stage and give details of the proposed supervisors, who shall
have a recognised qualification and training in such WORK(S). Previous site experience
alone will not be considered adequate.
Unless such indications are given at tender stage, the CONTRACTOR shall subcontract the
WORK(S) to a qualified SUB-CONTRACTOR who must be submitted to ADWEA/ENGINEER
at tender stage.
The CONTRACTOR will state clearly at the time of bid any SUB-CONTRACTOR(S) proposed
and who will not be revocable by the CONTRACTOR. The CONTRACTOR is expected to
have firm bid prices from SUB-CONTRACTOR(S) prior to submitting a bid and it is his
responsibility to contractually bind prospective SUB-CONTRACTOR(S) at that time for both
price and performance.
In the event that any such SUB-CONTRACTOR is not acceptable to ADWEA/ENGINEER or

fails to meet any of the other requirements, ADWEA/ENGINEER may nominate to the
Client ADWEA

CONTRACTOR any of the other acceptable SUB-CONTRACTOR(S) who have bid the
project to other CONTRACTORS at the prices bid to those other CONTRACTORS.
ADWEA/ENGINEER is not obliged to give reasons for any acceptance or rejection of any
SUB-CONTRACTOR(S), or whether any rejection is due to past performance or to present
staff limitations or otherwise.
In the event that a SUB-CONTRACTOR is proposed by the CONTRACTOR and is not

acceptable for whatever reason but ADWEA/ENGINEER does not nominate a SUB-
CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR must propose further SUBCONTRACTOR(S) until
satisfying ADWEA/ENGINEER. The CONTRACTOR will be bound to follow this procedure
regardless of any price difference between his original SUB-CONTRACTORS bid and that of
a satisfactory SUB-CONTRACTOR.
7. STANDARDS
