ABSTRACT
SPECIAL STRUCTURES DESIGNED BY CONTRACTOR
Notes This section envisages the following types of structure which may be required to be designed by the Contractor based on stipulated performance criteria:
* Buried structures * Earth retaining structures * Environmental barriers * Underbridges up to 8m span * Footbridges * Piped culverts * Box culverts * Drainage exceeding 900mm diameter * Other structures
Naturally, this work cannot be catered for directly in this section and will require the preparation of a sketch solution and approximate quantities to allow pricing using the various other Unit Costs sections as well as the Approximate Estimates section. An allowance must be added to such an estimate to cover the Contractor's design fee(s) and expenses.
