Handbook For Preparing BQ

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION
HANDBOOK FOR PREPARING BILLS OF QUANTITIES FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS
(Dated 29 December 2006)
PREFACE
In late 2001, the Steering Group to Monitor the Use of the Standard Method of Measurement for Civil Engineering Works set up a Working Group to review the Standard Method of Measurement for Civil Engineering Works, 1992 Edition (the SMM). Members of the Working Group comprised contract advisers of Works Departments under the Environment, Transport and Works Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the Bureau) and representatives from the Legal Advisory Division of the Bureau. The Working Group produced a new measurement document entitled Handbook for Preparing Bills of Quantities for Civil Engineering Works (the Handbook), which is to replace the SMM. In the process of finalizing the Handbook, the Working Group took into consideration the findings and recommendations of a consultant appointed by the Bureau in October 2005 to review the draft Handbook. The Handbook sets out guidelines for preparing the Bills of Quantities for civil engineering works contracts. In identifying and describing the work required of an item of work, the Handbook takes a different approach from that of the SMM. While the SMM relies heavily on the concept of item coverage, the approach in the Handbook is to identify and describe the requirement by way of item description and item description extension. The Bills of Quantities remains to be intended in the first instance to give information upon which tenders can be obtained. When a contract has been entered into, the function of the priced Bills of Quantities is to provide for the valuation of the work executed. More emphasis, however, is now placed on the need to ensure that the price tendered represents the all inclusive value of the work required by the Conditions of Contract, Drawings and Specification. Provisions have also been made to do away with the time consuming and resources demanding Cost ascertainment exercise associated with excusable delay - by measuring and paying such Cost through items in the Bills of Quantities. Unlike the SMM, the Handbook will not form a part of the contract document. In using the Handbook, the contract drafter should devote sufficient time and resources to prepare the Bills of Quantities and take heed of any peculiarities of his project to ensure that the Bills of Quantities are compatible with other documents, including the Conditions of Contract, Drawings and Specification.

PART I GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING BILLS OF QUANTITIES

A. General A.1 These guidelines are to be used for the preparation of Bills of Quantities at the pre-contract stage. The Bills of Quantities shall comprise the following: Preamble Method of Measurement Bill No. 1 : Preliminaries Bill No. 2 : : - Bill No. : - Bill No. : Daywork -* Bill No. : Site Safety and Environmental Management -* Bill No. : Provisional Sums -* Bill No. : Prime Cost Sums - Bill No. : Work and Services Not Separately Itemised - Grand Summary * A.2 A.3 These bills should be included where applicable.
Part II of this Handbook shall be reproduced as the Preamble to the Bills of Quantities. The Method of Measurement shall be prepared to cover all items of work in the bills within the Bills of Quantities using Part III of this Handbook as the basis. The layout of the method of measurement for an item of work shall take the following form: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) Heading; Sub-heading; Item description and unit; Item description extension (if any); and Measurement (if any).
A.4
In Part III of the Handbook, notes, itemisation tables and any wording printed in italics and of a unique font of their own are for guidance of the contract drafter only and shall not be reproduced in the Method of Measurement. The itemisation tables are guidelines for preparing item descriptions. In determining the number of bills to be included in the Bills of Quantities, the contract drafter may take into account the nature and location of work, date of commencement, time for completion or any other pertinent circumstances. Thus, for example, separate bills may be provided for different areas of the Site or Sections of the Works. Each bill shall contain items of work grouped into appropriate sections, adopting the section headings/sub-headings, order and numbering in Part III of this Handbook. Where a section, a sub-heading or a paragraph in Part III of this Handbook is not required for incorporation into the Contract, the contract drafter shall state not used against such section, paragraph or chronological group of paragraphs in the Method of Measurement. This is necessary for maintaining the cross-referencing of paragraphs adopted in the Handbook. To maintain the
A.5 A.6
A.7
consecutive paragraph numbering in the Method of Measurement, when new paragraphs are inserted, the paragraphs should be suffixed with a capital alphabet. Thus, for example, if new measurement rules are provided in respect of manholes after paragraph 5.20 in Part III, they shall be designated as paragraphs 5.20A, 5.20B, etc. Additional paragraphs for items of work under a new sub-heading which are not provided in Part III of this Handbook should be added to the end of the appropriate sections of the Method of Measurement. A.8 Each item description is to be consistent with and be compounded from one or more of the descriptive features listed in the itemisation groups in the various sections in Part III of this Handbook. As many of these groups or features shall be used as may be necessary to identify the work required. However, no more than one feature from any one group may be represented in any one item description. If the descriptive features contained in the itemisation groups do not correctly identify the work required, the contract drafter shall amend and draft any additional item descriptions or item description extensions necessary to fully describe the work for inclusion in the Method of Measurement and the bills. The item descriptions shall be drafted using the wording and format of the itemisation tables in the Handbook. The contract drafter may add new sub-headings, but shall not delete, amend or revise existing sub-headings. The contract drafter shall also amend, revise or add anything to the unit, measurement, item description and item description extension where necessary to suit specific project needs. The purpose of the item description extension is to avoid lengthy item descriptions and to avoid uncertainty or ambiguity as to what is to be priced by identifying and listing those components that are intended to be included under that item of work as distinguished from any other separately measurable items of work. Work or services of an incidental nature need not be stated. Item descriptions shall be concise, comprising descriptions from the chosen groups and features of the itemisation tables, with reference to relevant Drawings where possible, although it is not necessary to refer to all Drawings on which the item being described appears. Information given in item descriptions should be sufficient to identify the work required without ambiguity. The Bills of Quantities are to contain all those items required to comprise the Works. Quantities may be rounded up or down where appropriate. Fractional quantities are not generally necessary but, where required, should not be given to more than one place of decimals.

A.12 A.13
B.
Materials supplied to the Contractor Where the Contractor is to be supplied with materials on Site or where he is to collect materials from a designated source, it should be so stated in the item description or item description extension in the Bills of Quantities.
C.
Work affected by non-tidal open water or tidal water and not covered in Marine Works section Work affected by non-tidal open water or tidal water shall not be measured separately unless the nature of the work is such that if separate measurement for such work is not provided for, this will cause undue difficulty to the tenderers in pricing their tenders.
D.
Plant used on daywork section 27 Separate items should be provided for Provisional Sums, and percentage adjustment thereto, for different categories of plant used on daywork in accordance with the relevant sections of the HKCA Schedules For Plant Used in Dayworks Carried Out Incidental to Contract Work.
E.
Prime Cost Sums section 29 E.1 Where Prime Cost Sums are included in the Bills of Quantities for work to be executed or services to be supplied by a Nominated Sub-contractor, separate items are to be provided for: (i) (ii) general attendance provided by the Contractor in connection therewith in the form of a lump sum; special attendance provided by the Contractor (if required) for any facility or specific requirements not covered under general attendance in the form of a lump sum. Such facility and specific requirements shall be stated clearly in the item description; the Contractors profit in relation to the Prime Cost Sum in the form of a percentage.
(iii) E.2
Where Prime Cost Sums are included in the Bills of Quantities for materials to be supplied by a Nominated Sub-contractor, a separate item shall be provided for the Contractors profit in relation to the Prime Cost Sum in the form of a percentage.
F.
Contingency Sum A Contingency Sum, if required, shall be provided in the Grand Summary following the total of the amounts brought forward from the summary of each bill.
G.
Adjustment Item An item described as the Adjustment Item shall be provided in the Grand Summary following the total of the amounts brought forward from the summary of each bill and the Contingency Sum.
H.
Drawings Measurement may be amplified by Drawings. The item descriptions, item description extensions and relevant measurement clauses pertaining thereto shall make reference to such Drawings where appropriate.
I.
Unit of measurement If it is intended that an item of work is to be paid as a lump sum, sum shall be used as the unit of measurement for such an item of work. The symbol - shall be inserted against the rate and quantity columns in the bills for items of work for which the unit of measurement is sum. For the avoidance of doubt, item shall not be used as a unit of measurement.
J.
Measurement of preliminaries J.1 The measurement of time based preliminaries is divided into two groups: (1) preliminaries other than the Contractors overheads as described in paragraph 1.6 in Part II of this Handbook
and (2) the Contractors overheads as described in paragraph 1.7 in Part II of this Handbook. J.2 Generally speaking and subject to other provisions to the contrary, time based preliminaries other than the Contractors overheads are measured during the original time for completion, the extended time for completion and the Maintenance Period of the Works when such work or services are required and executed. Measurement during the period of culpable delay by the Contractor (i.e. where Works have not been completed but the prescribed/extended time for completion has passed) will be excluded. This is provided for in paragraph 1.6 in Part II of this Handbook. In addition, paragraph 1.6 in Part II of this Handbook provides refinement of the general rule where the Works are divided into Sections. Generally speaking and subject to other provisions to the contrary, time based preliminaries which are the Contractors overheads (i.e. those provided for under the sub-heading Contractors overheads in section 1 in Part III of this Handbook) are measured during the original time for completion, part of the extended time for completion (where the extension of time is granted due to causes relating to direct actions of the Employer/Engineer; i.e. GCC Clauses 50(1)(b)(iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii)) and the Maintenance Period of the Works. Measurement during the period of culpable delay by the Contractor and the period of extension of time granted due to causes other than those described above will be excluded. This is provided for in paragraph 1.7 in Part II of this Handbook. In addition, paragraph 1.7 in Part II of this Handbook provides refinement of the general rule where the Works are divided into Sections. The expression excluding the Sections for Establishment Works and Aftercare to Old and Valuable Trees in paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7 in Part II of this Handbook assumes that Establishment Works and/or Aftercare to Old and Valuable Trees form a separate Section or separate Sections of the Works. If the Contract does not contain any Section of Works which comprises Establishment Works only or any Section of Works which comprises Aftercare to Old and Valuable Trees only, the expressions (excluding the Sections for Establishment Works and Sections for Aftercare to Old and Valuable Trees), /Works except Establishment Works and Aftercare to Old and Valuable Trees and other than the Maintenance Periods for Establishment Works and Aftercare to Old and Valuable Trees in paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7 in Part II of this Handbook shall be deleted as appropriate. If retained, the expressions shall not be italicised. The Handbook and the associated standard provisions are prepared on the assumption that all time based preliminaries are included into a single bill No. 1 (Preliminaries). Should a contract include Section(s) Subject to Excision and time based preliminaries related thereto are included in a separate bill, other than bill No. 1 (Preliminaries), the Method of Measurement, in particular paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7 in Part II of this Handbook, should be specifically drafted to suit.
J.3

J.5
K.
Measurement of work of a temporary nature It is recommended that work of a temporary nature shown on the Drawings and designed by the Engineer be measured irrespective of whether it is to be removed under the Contract.
L.
Measurement of items for photographs - section 1 Where separate measurements are provided for aerial photographs, record photographs etc., appropriate Particular Specification Clauses and Method of Measurement paragraphs should be included in the Contract.
M.
Temporary fencing section 4 Temporary fencing which is to be removed by the Contractor should be included as items under section 1 in Part III of this Handbook. Fencing which does not require removal by the Contractor should be included as items under section 4 in Part III of this Handbook.
N.
Excavation of soft spots, filling of soft spots and other voids sections 5, 6 and 7 No separate items are provided for excavation of soft spots and filling of soft spots and other voids under sections 5, 6 and 7 in Part III of this Handbook. Where soft spots are encountered below the formation level during excavation for works measured under the above sections, they should be dealt with as variations.
O.
General excavation lines - section 7 Lines and levels shall be shown on the Drawings or described in the Specification to indicate the extent of general excavation required to be carried out.
P.
Probing ahead - section 18 No separate items are provided for probing ahead under section 18 in Part III of this Handbook. Where probing ahead is specifically required by the Engineer during excavation for tunnel works, it should be dealt with as a variation.
Q.
Soil nails and erosion control - section 19 Where items for soil nails and erosion control under section 19 in Part III of this Handbook are included in the Contract, the corresponding Particular Specification Clauses should also be included.
R.
Items of work with small quantities The inclusion of items of work with very small quantities, especially items on earthwork and testing, may attract unreasonably high rates which would result in serious financial consequences if the quantities of such items increase substantially. If the only purpose for including these items is to obtain rate(s) from the Contractor, these items should not be included and the works should be dealt with as variations during construction.
S.
Bills for section 1 and section 30 Sections 1 and 30 in Part III of this Handbook are mandatory sections and the items contained therein should be included in each Contract under bill No. 1 (Preliminaries) and a separate last bill (Work and Services Not Separately Itemised) respectively.
T.
Sample bill page A sample showing the layout of a typical page from a bill within the Bills of Quantities is provided for reference at the end of this Part of the Handbook.
10
U.
Item description and item description extension Contract drafters should note that the item description and item description extension of an item of work are generally prepared using the relevant standard specification clauses at the time of preparation of the Handbook as the basis. If other specification clauses concerning any item of work are included in the Contract, the corresponding item description and item description extension should be reviewed and amended as appropriate.
V.
Application For the avoidance of doubt, the guidelines under this Part of the Handbook are to be used for the preparation of Bills of Quantities and are not to be included as part of the Bills of Quantities. Also, the guidelines shall not be deemed to form part of or be taken into consideration in the interpretation of the Bills of Quantities.

PART II PREAMBLE
1. 1.1 General principles Items shown in the bills of the Bills of Quantities are items of work. In the Bills of Quantities, the headings, sub-headings, item descriptions and item description extensions describe and identify the work covered by the respective items of work. Such descriptions or identifications may not be exhaustive. The exact nature and extent of an item of work must be ascertained by reference to the Drawings, Specification, General Conditions of Contract and Special Conditions of Contract, as not all requirements may be stated in the item description or its item description extension. Furthermore, whilst the item description and item description extension may make specific reference to certain Drawings and/or Specification, the item of work described is deemed to include for all requirements shown on all Drawings and/or Specification pertaining to that item of work irrespective of whether or not the Drawing and/or Specification is stated in the item description or item description extension. The rate inserted against an item of work in the bills within the Bills of Quantities shall be deemed to be the full inclusive value of executing, completing, maintaining and/or supplying such item of work including any incidental work thereto, unless expressly stated otherwise elsewhere in the Bills of Quantities. The expression incidental work includes, but is not limited to, the carrying out of all work and services and complying with all obligations which are specified or reasonably implied in the Contract and which are related to, arise out of or are connected with the item of work as described in its headings, sub-headings, item description and item description extension. The rates inserted against the items of work in the bills within the Bills of Quantities shall include, but are not limited to, the following: labour; plant; materials and goods, including without limitation transportation and storage thereof; multiple handling of any kind; sampling and testing; preparation of surfaces and other preparatory work for follow-on activities; assembling, fixing, erecting, installing or placing of materials and goods in position; wastage, bulking, shrinkage and the disposal of any materials and goods; temporary protection and its subsequent removal; Temporary Works, including design; taking precautions and measures as far as is reasonable and practical to prevent interference with or damage to existing structures and utilities, roads, footpaths and paved areas, watercourses and drainage systems, public and private vehicular and pedestrian accesses, trees, graves and burial urns, including the provision of alternative access; (xii) keeping the Works where necessary, and as near as may be practical, free of water and protected from damage due to water and from weather conditions which may adversely affect the Works, and taking measures to prevent flotation of new or existing structures; (xiii) taking all measures required to execute the work as affected by non-tidal open water or tidal water; (xiv) dealing with water in watercourses, pipelines, drains and the like; (xv) working space; (xvi) overbreak and making good; (xvii) construction of longitudinal, expansion, contraction, movement, warping, construction, isolation joints and the like completed with sealants, fillers, cover plates and the like; (xviii) completion of formation and earthwork final surfaces; (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) (ix) (x) (xi)

recording, taking readings, measurements and observations, and submitting to the Engineer all drawings, records, details of procedures and methods of construction to be used, technical literature, test certificates and any other documents or information required to be submitted under the Contract; (xx) carrying out trial mixes, trial runs and all other trials, demonstrations and mock-ups; (xxi) in the case of materials supplied by the Employer, return of the surplus; (xxii) taking all steps that are necessary to obtain and maintain all licences and permits necessary for the execution of the Works, and all costs in connection therewith including the costs of complying with the terms and conditions of the licences and permits; (xxiii) liabilities, obligations and risks involved in the execution of the Works set forth or reasonably implied in the Contract; (xxiv) establishment charges, overheads and profit. Provided that the Contractors overheads, including the overheads of any of his sub-contractors of any tier, shall be deemed to be included exclusively in the rates for the items under the sub-heading Contractors overheads in section 1 (Preliminaries) of the Method of Measurement. The rates inserted in other items of work in the bills within the Bills of Quantities shall not include the Contractors overheads. 1.3 The quantities shall be computed net from the Drawings, unless otherwise stated in the Contract, and no allowance shall be made for bulking, shrinkage or wastage. Where in the Contract a choice of alternative materials or designs is indicated, the item descriptions and rates inserted shall be deemed to cover any of the permitted alternative materials or designs which the Contractor may elect to use. Except for those tests provided for as separate items of work in the bills within the Bills of Quantities, the rates contained in the Contract shall be deemed to include for the cost of carrying out all tests on materials and workmanship specified in the Contract, including but not limited to, the cost of packing and transport required for delivering samples to and collecting from the place of testing. Without prejudice to provisions in other parts of the Bills of Quantities which expressly provide for certain items of work not to be measured, items of work under section 1 (Preliminaries) of the Method of Measurement the units of measurement of which are time based (but excepting items of work as described under the sub-heading Contractors overheads in section 1 (Preliminaries) of the Method of Measurement which shall be measured in accordance with paragraph 1.7 below)# shall not be measured: (i) where the Works are not divided into Sections, between (a) the end of the prescribed time or extended time for completion of the Works/Works except Establishment Works and Aftercare to Old and Valuable Trees**; and the date of completion of the Works/Works except Establishment Works and Aftercare to Old and Valuable Trees** certified by the Engineer in accordance with GCC Clause 53;

28.32
Measurement shall only be made for persons employed on the Works (excluding clerical and administrative staff in the Site office), irrespective of whether they are in the employment of the Contractor or his sub-contractors. For the avoidance of doubt, persons employed on the Works are those persons whose number of man-hours worked on the Site are to be included in the number of man-hours worked for the Contract. Measurement shall only be made for a person who has completed the set of Pre-work Activities on one day prior to his/her work on that day. No extra measurement shall be made for a person who has attended more than one set of Pre-work Activities in a day. A maximum of two numbers for the item for arrange and hold Pre-work Activities of Site Safety Cycle under this sub-heading shall be measured for the same person in any one calendar week (commencing on Monday) unless prior approval has been obtained from the Engineer. No measurement shall be made for the number of persons who have attended the Pre-work Activities in a group but the Engineer or the Engineers Representative is dissatisfied with the content and/or the arrangement of the Pre-work Activities for that group. If the Engineer or the Engineers Representative is only dissatisfied with the content and/or the arrangement of the HIA meeting for a particular group only, then the non-measurement shall be limited to the number of persons for that group which the Engineer or the Engineers Representative considers unsatisfactory. No measurement shall be made for the total number of attendees of Pre-work Activities in a week (commencing on Monday) if the number of individual persons who have attended the Pre-work Activities to the satisfaction of the Engineer or the Engineers Representative within that week is less than 70% of the average number of persons working at the Site in that week. For the avoidance of doubt, the average number of persons working at the Site in a week (commencing on Monday) shall be the quotient of the total number of man-days worked for the Contract in that week divided by the number of working days within that week.
