the allowances for inflation shall be consolidated with all other adjustments as noted above.
(b) on long – term contracts (i.e. when the total allowance for inflation is substantial) :-
- a separate allowance for inflation shall be created and treated as a reserve against value
- this will result in negative adjustments to ‘Value’ in the CVC Reports, which will reduce to
zero over the construction period of the project.
The tender allowances shall be presented in the following formats :
(i) on Consolidated Standard Forms
(ii) in Categorised Bills of Allowances.
4.2 Consolidated Standard Forms
The following forms shall be redrafted / consolidated:
(a) The Production Allowances = E10,11,12 & 13
(b) Temporary Works = E15
(c) General Expenses = E16
(d) Written-in Sums = E18
(e) Tender Summary = E50
For the consolidated Tender Summary, the following should be noted :
- all amounts against Estimator’s Adjustments and Review Adjustments – lines 6 and 7 must be
incorporated within the Allowances for Production, Temporary Works and General Expenses as
appropriate.
- the revised totals from (a)-(d) above must agree with the corresponding totals on the
consolidated Tender Summary.
- the final total on the consolidated Tender Summary will be the Contract Sum following
negotiations.
To facilitate procurement and, in particular, to ensure that orders are placed within allowances, for
special project the information on E12 may be transferred to the Form E24, which then provides the
allowances for all production materials.
In addition to the above, Form E17- Residual Values – shall be redrafted/consolidated as necessary
and included in the Handover Package for information purposes.
4.3 Categorised Bills of Allowances
The Categorised Bills of Allowances serve the following purposes :
(a) to clarify how the monies on the Tender Summary have been incorporated in the ‘selling bill’
(b) to provide a detailed analysis of the allowances against all production items
(c) to provide a basis for drawing – down allowances for (e.g. General Expenses) as the works
proceed.
To satisfy requirement (a) above, the totals in the selling bill must be reconciled with the totals on E50 :
Contract Sum =
Less preliminaries in Client’s Bill =
Less Lump Sum Adjustment Items in Client’s Bill =
_________
Selling price of Production Items =
Less Spread on Production Items =
_________
Direct costs of Production Items* =
