ABSTRACT
A common area of confusion is the payment to the Contractor for unfixed materials within or outside the Working Areas. The Project Manager is required to certify payments within one week of each assessment date. The Project Manager assesses the amount due at each assessment date, calculating the Price for Work Done to Date using the rules of the specific Main Option. The Contractor submits an application for payment to the Project Manager before each assessment date, and must include details of the application, the format to be in accordance with the Scope. The Scope may require the Contractor to comply with a specific procedure in respect of, for example, submission of design proposals or procurement of Subcontractors. The cost of any consumables and equipment provided by the Contractor for the Project Managers or Supervisors offices is also included as direct cost. The cost of Equipment operators is included within the People costs.
