Product Information

D2 Invasive plant species shallinclude any plant whose controlis governed by legislation andwhich is treated by herbicidal orchemical process. To avoid unnecessary length, item descriptions for permanent works shall generallyidentify the component of the works and not the tasks to be carried out by the contrac-tor, for example However by 2009 it was being suggested that CESMM required updating to meetcurrent engineering practice and procedure, and a review was initiated by the Institution

C2 Item descriptions forexcavation shall be deemed toinclude removal of existing pipesof any material or diameter.The Method of Measurement is designed to be contract and generally specificationneutral. It is therefore necessary to ensure that there is compatibility between theMethod of Measurement and the Conditions of Contract used on the project. To achievethis a schedule must be included in the Preamble to the Bill of Quantities indicating theclause in the Conditions of Contract that defines the terminology used in the Method ofMeasurement. M1 The Commencing Surfaceadopted in the preparation ofthe Bill of Quantities shall beadopted for the measurement ofthe completed work. A24 Item descriptions forconsolidated drained triaxialtests shall state the diameterand the height of the samplesand the effective pressure.

The work shall be divided into items in the Bill of Quantities so that the compo-nent of work which is included in each item does not exhibit more than one feature fromeach division of any one class of the Work Classification, for example principle where it has proved impossible to produce Bill items without reference tosome form of standard classification. These are:Bill of Quantities’ means a list of items giving brief identifying descriptions andestimated quantities of the work comprised in a contract. Ranges of dimensions 5.15. Where all the components of work included in an item are of one dimensionwithin a range given in the Work Classification that dimension may be stated in the itemdescription in place of the range of dimensions given. The Review Committee received advice and helpful comments from a wide range oforganisations and individual practitioners, and would like to express its gratitude to allof them for the assistance they provided.

C1 Items for work in this classshall be deemed to includedisposal of excavated material andremoval of dead services. M23 Trimming of filled surfacesshall be measured to surfaceswhich are to receive noPermanent Works whethertrimming is expressly required ornot. The insertion by the contractor of an item for a Method-Related Charge in the Billof Quantities when tendering shall not bind him to adopt the method stated in the itemdescription in executing the Works.d ) to take account of new techniques in civil engineering construction andmanagement, their influence on the work itself and on the administration ofcontracts.
