Clause 4.4, in the presence of the tenderers’ representatives who choose to attend at the time

and withdrawals, the presence or absence of Tender Security, and such other details as may be
considered appropriate, will be announced by the Employer at the opening. Minutes of the

Employer.
5.3 Information relating to the examination, clarification, evaluation, and comparison of tenders
and recommendations for the award of Contract shall not be disclosed to tenderers or any
other persons not officially concerned with such process until the award to the successful
tenderer has been announced. Any effort by a tenderer to influence the Employer’s officials,
processing of tenders or award decisions may result in the rejection of his tender.
5.4 To assist in the examination, evaluation, and comparison of tenders, the Employer at his
discretion, may ask any tenderer for clarification of the tender, including breakdowns of unit
rates. The request for clarification and the response shall be in writing or by cable, telex or
facsimile but no change in the price or substance of the tender shall be sought, offered, or
permitted except as required to confirm the correction of arithmetic errors discovered in the
evaluation of the tenders in accordance with Clause 5.7.
5.5 Prior to the detailed evaluation of tenders, the Employer will determine whether each tender
(a) meets the eligibility criteria defined
in Clause 1.7;(b) has been properly signed; (c) is accompanied by the required securities; and
(d) is substantially responsive to the requirements of the tendering documents. A substantially
responsive tender is one which conforms to all the terms, conditions and specifications of the
tendering documents, without material deviation or reservation. A material deviation or
reservation is one (a) which affects in any substantial way the scope, quality, or performance
of the works; (b) which limits in any substantial way, inconsistent with the tendering
documents, the Employer’s rights or the tenderer’s obligations under the Contract; or (c)
whose rectification would affect unfairly the competitive position of other tenderers
presenting substantially responsive tenders.
5.6 If a tender is not substantially responsive, it will be rejected, and may not subsequently be
made responsive by correction or withdrawal of the nonconforming deviation or reservation.
15
5.7 Tenders determined to be substantially responsive will be checked for any arithmetic errors.
Errors will be corrected as follows:
(a) where there is a discrepancy between the amount in figures and the amount in words,
the amount in words will prevail; and
(b) where there is a discrepancy between the unit rate and the line item total resulting from
multiplying the unit rate by the quantity, the unit rate as quoted will prevail, unless in
the opinion of the Employer, there is an obvious typographical error, in which case the
adjustment will be made to the entry containing that error.
(c) In the event of a discrepancy between the tender amount as stated in the Form of
Tender and the corrected tender figure in the main summary of the Bill of Quantities,
the amount as stated in the Form of Tender shall prevail.
(d) The Error Correction Factor shall be computed by expressing the difference between
the tender amount and the corrected tender sum as a percentage of the corrected
Builder’s Work (i.e. Corrected tender sum less P.C. and Provisional Sums)
(e) The Error Correction Factor shall be applied to all Builder’s Work (as a rebate or
addition as the case may be) for the purposes of valuations for Interim Certificates and
valuation of variations.
(f) the amount stated in the tender will be adjusted in accordance with the above
procedure for the correction of errors and, with
concurrence of the tenderer, shall be considered as binding upon the tenderer. If the
tenderer does not accept the corrected amount, the tender may be rejected and the
Tender Security may be forfeited in accordance with clause 3.11.
5.8 The Employer will evaluate and compare only the tenders determined to be substantially
responsive in accordance with Clause 5.5.
5.9 In evaluating the tenders, the Employer will determine for each tender the evaluated tender
price by adjusting the tender price as follows:
(a) making any correction for errors pursuant to clause 5.7;
(b) excluding provisional sums and the provision, if any, for contingencies in the Bill of
Quantities, but including Dayworks where priced competitively.
(c) making an appropriate adjustment for any other acceptable variations, deviations, or
alternative offers submitted in accordance with clause 3.12; and
(d) making appropriate adjustments to reflect discounts or other price modifications

offered in accordance with clause 4.6
5.10 The Employer reserves the right to accept or reject any variation, deviation, or alternative
offer. Variations, deviations, and alternative offers and other factors which are in excess of
the requirements of the tender documents or otherwise result in unsolicited benefits for the
Employer will not be taken into account in tender evaluation.
16
5.11 The tenderer shall not influence the Employer on any matter relating to his tender from the
time of the tender opening to the time the Contract is awarded. Any effort by the Tenderer to
influence the Employer or his employees in his decision on tender evaluation, tender
comparison or Contract award may result in the rejection of the tender.
5.12 Firms incorporated in Kenya where indigenous Kenyans own 51% or more of the share
capital shall be allowed a 10% preferential bias provided that they do not sub-contract work
valued at more than 50% of the Contract Price excluding Provisional Sums to an
non-indigenous sub-contractor.
6. Award of Contract
6.1 Subject to Clause 6.2, the award of the Contract will be made to the tenderer whose tender has
been determined to be substantially
responsive to the tendering documents and who has offered the lowest evaluated tender price,
provided that such tenderer has been determined to be (a) eligible in accordance with the
provision of Clauses 1.2, and (b) qualified in accordance with the provisions of clause 1.7 and
1.8.
6.2 Notwithstanding clause 6.1 above, the Employer reserves the right to
accept or reject any tender, and to cancel the tendering process and reject all tenders, at any
time prior to the award of Contract, without thereby incurring any liability to the affected
tenderer or tenderers or any obligation to inform the affected tenderer or tenderers of the
grounds for the action.
6.3 The tenderer whose tender has been accepted will be notified of the award prior to expiration
of the tender validity period in writing or by cable, telex or facsimile. This notification
(hereinafter and in all Contract documents called the “Letter of Acceptance”) will state the
sum (hereinafter and in all Contract documents called the “Contract Price”)that the Employer
will pay the Contractor in consideration of the execution, completion, and maintenance of the
Works by the Contractor as prescribed by the Contract. At the same time the other tenderers
shall be informed that their tenders have not been successful.
The contract shall be formed on the parties signing the contract.
6.4 The Agreement will incorporate all agreements between the Employer and the successful
tenderer. Within 14 days of receipt the successful tenderer will sign the Agreement and return

Conditions of Contract and in the form stipulated in the Tender documents. The Performance
Security shall be in the amount and specified form
6.6 Failure of the successful tenderer to comply with the requirements of clause 6.5 shall
constitute sufficient grounds for cancellation of the award and forfeiture of the Tender
Security.
17
6.7 Upon the furnishing by the successful tenderer of the Performance Security, the Employer
will promptly notify the other tenderers that their tenders have been unsuccessful.
6.8 Preference where allowed in the evaluation of tenders shall not be allowed for contracts not

award and shall not be liable to any person for the termination.

2. Tender sum Comparisons
A) PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS
The preliminary examination in the Financial Evaluation shall be in accordance with

clause 26 of Instruction to Tenderers.
The parameter to be considered under this section includes the following:

Arithmetic errors and comparison of rates.
(1) Arithmetic Errors
The bid shall be checked for arithmetic errors based on the rates and the total sums
indicated in the bills of quantities.
Confirmation shall be sought in writing from the tenderers whose tender sums will be
determined to have a significant arithmetic error to their disadvantage, to confirm
whether they stand by their tender sums. The error shall be treated as per clause 27 of
Instructions to Tenderers.
Non-compliance with the above shall lead to automatic disqualification from

furtherevaluation.
Discount if any shall be treated as an error in pursuant to clause 27 of Instructions

toTenderers.
(2) Comparison of rates

The evaluation committee will compare rates from different bidders and note consistency
of rates and front loading. The evaluation committee will judge and make an appropriate
decision giving evidence.
B) TENDER SUMS COMPARISONS
In this section, tender sums will be compared to the average of all sums for bidders who
have qualified from STAGE 3A and score awarded to a maximum of 20 as shown below.
26
1 Preliminary Average
a. The tender sums of various binders, who qualify at STAGE 3A and the engineer's
estimates, shall be reduced by omitting PC sums, provisional sums and
contingency from the respectful amounts. The average of the reduced amounts so
obtained shall be calculated.
b. Any tenderer whose tender percentage deviation is 20% higher or lower than the
average obtained above, will be deemed to be unreasonably high or low and shall
not be included in determining the mean in table 3, their bids will not be evaluated
further. The Engineer's estimate will also be subjected to the same treatment.
The detailed scoring plan shall be as shown in table 2 below: TABLE 3
Item Description Score Max.

score
I o Tender Sums: (The tender sums of bidders, who qualify at STAGE 3A and 20
the engineer's estimates, shall be reduced by omitting PC sums, provisional
sums and contingency from the respectful amounts. The average of the
adjusted tender sums so obtained shall be calculated. The deviation of the
reduced amounts in respect of each bidder from the average shall then be
worked out as a percentage of the average (Rounded off to one (1) decimal
point) and scores allocated as follows :-)
o Deviation of between 0% and 1% ------------------------------------ 20

o Deviation of between 1.1% and 2% ---------------------------------- 18.5

o Deviation of between 18.1% and 19% --------------------------------------- 1
o Deviation of between 19.1% and 20% --------------------------------------0.5
o Deviation of 20.1% and above -------------------------------------- 0
TOTAL 20
The Tender sum score will be carried forward to STAGE 4
27
C) FINANCIAL SCORE
The Evaluation Team shall compare the prices offered by the tenderers and the Financial
Scores (Fs) will be determined using the formulae below. The financial score will be
allocated a maximum of 30%.
Fs = 30 x Fm/F
Where: Fs is the Financial Score

Fm is the Lowest Priced Responsive Bidsum
F is the Bid Price under consideration
4. DETERMINATION OF THE MOST RESPONSIVE BIDDER
The evaluation team shall combine Technical Evaluation Score, Tender Sums
Comparison Score and Financial Score as below:
Technical Evaluation Score (TEs) + Tender Sums Comparison Score (TSCs)

+Financial Score (Fs)
FINAL SCORE =TEs + TSCs + Fs

= 50% +20%+30%
5. RECOMMENDATION
The Evaluation Committee shall recommend to the client for award, the
Bidder with highest score from Technical and Financial evaluation.

change exceeds 1 percent of the Initial Contract price, the Project Manager shall
adjust the rate to allow for the change.
21.3 If requested by the Project Manager, the Contractor shall provide the Project
Manager with a detailed cost breakdown of any rate in the Bills of Quantities.
22. Variations
22.1 All variations shall be included in updated programs produced by the Contractor.
22.2 The Contractor shall provide the Project Manager with a quotation for carrying out
the variations when requested to do so. The Project Manager shall assess the
quotation, which shall be given within seven days of the request or within any
38
longer period as may be stated by the Project Manager and before the Variation is
ordered.
22.3 If the work in the variation corresponds with an item description in the Bills of
Quantities and if in the opinion of the Project Manager, the quantity of work is not
above the limit stated in Clause 21.2 or the timing of its execution does not cause
the cost per unit of quantity to change, the rate in the Bills of Quantities shall be
used to calculate the value of the variation. If the cost per unit of quantity
changes, or
if the nature or timing of the work in the variation does not correspond with items
in the Bills of Quantities, the quotation by the Contractor shall be in the form of
new rates for the relevant items of Work.
22.4 If the Contractor’s quotation is unreasonable, the Project Manager may order the
variation and make a change to the Contract price, which shall be based on the
Project Manager’s own forecast of the effects of the variation on the Contractor’s
costs.
22.5 If the Project Manager decides that the urgency of varying the Work would
prevent a quotation being given and considered without delaying the Work, no
quotation shall be given and the variation shall be treated as a Compensation
Event.
22.6 The Contractor shall not be entitled to additional payment for costs that could
have been avoided by giving early warning.
22.7 When the Program is updated, the Contractor shall provide the Project Manager
with an updated cash flow forecast.
22.8
23. Payment Certificates, Currency of Payments and Advance Payments
23.1 The Contractor shall submit to the Project Manager monthly applications for
payment giving sufficient details of the Work done and materials on Site and the
amounts which the Contractor considers himself to be entitled to. The Project
Manager shall check the monthly application and certify the amount to be paid to
the Contractor within 14 days. The value of Work executed and payable shall be
determined by the Project Manager.
23.2 The value of Work executed shall comprise the value of the quantities of the items
in the Bills of Quantities completed, materials delivered on Site, variations and
compensation events. Such materials shall become the property of the Employer
once the Employer has paid the Contractor for their value . Thereafter, they shall
not be removed from Site without the Project Manager’s instructions except for
use upon the Works.
23.3 Payments shall be adjusted for deductions for retention. The Employer shall pay
the Contractor the amounts certified by the Project Manager within 30 days of the
date of issue of each certificate. If the Employer makes a late payment, the
Contractor shall be paid simple interest on the late payment in the next payment.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of number of days delayed at a rate three
39
percentage points above the Central Bank of Kenya’s average rate for base
lending prevailing as of the first day the payment becomes overdue.
23.4 If an amount certified is increased in a later certificate or as a result of an award

by an Arbitrator, the Contractor shall be paid interest upon the delayed payment as
set out in this clause. Interest shall be calculated from the date upon which the
increased amount would have been certified in the absence of dispute.
23.5 Items of the Works for which no rate or price has been entered in will not be paid
for by the Employer and shall be deemed covered by other rates and prices in the
Contract.
23.6 The Contract Price shall be stated in Kenya Shillings. All payments to the
Contractor shall be made in Kenya Shillings and foreign currency in the
proportion indicated in the tender, or agreed prior to the execution of the Contract
Agreement and indicated therein. The rate of exchange for the calculation of the
amount of foreign currency payment shall be the rate of exchange indicated in the
Appendix to Conditions of Contract. If the Contractor indicated foreign
currencies for payment other than the currencies of the countries of origin of
related goods and services the Employer reserves the right to pay the equivalent at
the time of payment in the currencies of the countries of such goods and services.
The Employer and the Project Manager shall be notified promptly by the
Contractor of an changes in the expected foreign currency requirements of the
Contractor during the execution of the Works as indicated in the Schedule of
Foreign Currency Requirements and the foreign and local currency portions of the
balance of the Contract Price shall then be amended by agreement between
Employer and the Contractor in order to reflect appropriately such changes.
23.7 In the event that an advance payment is granted, the following shall apply:-
a) On signature of the Contract, the Contractor shall at his request, and

without furnishing proof of expenditure, be entitled to an advance of 10%
(ten percent) of the original amount of the Contract. The advance shall not
be subject to retention money.
b) No advance payment may be made before the Contractor has submitted

proof of the establishment of deposit or a directly
liable guarantee satisfactory to the Employer in the amount of the advance
payment. The guarantee shall be in the same currency as the advance.
c) Reimbursement of the lump sum advance shall be made by deductions

from the Interim payments and where applicable from the balance owing
to the Contractor. Reimbursement shall begin when the amount of the
sums due under the Contract reaches 20% of the original amount of the
Contract. It shall have been completed by the time 80% of this amount is
reached.
40
The amount to be repaid by way of successive deductions shall be calculated by means of
the formula:
R = A(x1 – x11)
80 – 20
Where:
R = the amount to be reimbursed
A = the amount of the advance which has been granted
X1 = the amount of proposed cumulative payments as a

percentage of the original amount of the Contract. This
figure will exceed 20% but not exceed 80%.
X11 = the amount of the previous cumulative payments as a

percentage of the original amount of the Contract. This
figure will be below 80%but not less than 20%.
d) with each reimbursement the counterpart of the directly liable guarantee

may be reduced accordingly.
24. Compensation Events
24.1 The following issues shall constitute Compensation Events:
(a) The Employer does not give access to a part of the Site by the Site
Possession Date stated in the Appendix to Conditions of Contract.
(b) The Employer modifies the List of Other Contractors, etc., in a way that
affects the Work of the Contractor under the Contract.
(c) The Project Manager orders a delay or does not issue drawings,
specifications or instructions required for execution of the Works on time.
(d) The Project Manager instructs the Contractor to uncover or to carry out
additional tests upon the Work, which is then found to have no defects.
(e) The Project Manager unreasonably does not approve a subcontract to be

let.
(f) Ground conditions are substantially more adverse than could reasonably
have been assumed before issuance of the Letter of Acceptance from the
information issued to tenderers (including the Site investigation reports),
from information available publicly and from a visual inspection of the
Site.
(g) The Project Manager gives an instruction for dealing with an unforeseen
condition, caused by the Employer or additional work required for safety
or other reasons.
41
(h) Other contractors, public authorities, utilities, or the Employer does not
work within the dates and other constraints stated in the Contract, and they
cause delay or extra cost to the Contractor.
(i) The effects on the Contractor of any of the Employer’s risks.
(j) The Project Manager unreasonably delays issuing a Certificate of

Completion.
(k) Other compensation events described in the Contract or determined by the

Project Manager shall apply.
24.2 If a compensation event would cause additional cost or would prevent the Work
being completed before the Intended Completion Date, the Contract Price shall be
increased and/or the Intended Completion Date shall be extended. The Project
Manager shall decide whether and by how much the Contract Price shall be
increased and whether and by how much the Intended Completion Date shall be
extended.
24.3 As soon as information demonstrating the effect of each compensation event upon
the Contractor’s forecast cost has been provided by the Contractor, it shall be
assessed by the Project Manager, and the Contract Price shall be adjusted
accordingly. If the Contractor’s forecast is deemed unreasonable, the Project
Manager shall adjust the Contract Price based on the Project Manager’s own
forecast. The
Project Manager will assume that the Contractor will react competently and
promptly to the event.
24.4 The Contractor shall not be entitled to compensation to the extent that the
Employer’s interests are adversely affected by the Contractor not having given
early warning or not having co-operated with the Project Manager.
24.5 Prices shall be adjusted for fluctuations in the cost of inputs only if provided for in
the Appendix to Conditions of Contract.
24.6 The Contractor shall give written notice to the Project Manager of his intention to
make a claim within thirty days after the event giving rise to the claim has first
arisen. The claim shall be submitted within thirty days thereafter.

the Contractor shall submit an interim claim within the said thirty days and a final
claim within thirty days of the end of the event giving rise to the claim.
25. Price Adjustment
25.1 The Project Manager shall adjust the Contract Price if taxes, duties and other
levies are changed between the date 30 days before the submission of tenders for
the Contract and the date of Completion. The adjustment shall be the change in
the amount of tax payable by the Contractor.
25.2 The Contract Price shall be deemed to be based on exchange rates current at the
date of tender submission in calculating the cost to the Contractor of materials to
42
be specifically imported (by express provisions in the Contract Bills of Quantities
or Specifications) for permanent incorporation in the Works. Unless otherwise
stated in the Contract, if at any time during the period of the Contract exchange
rates shall be varied and this shall affect the cost to the Contractor of such
materials, then the Project Manager shall assess the net difference in the cost of
such materials. Any amount from time to time so assessed shall be added to or
deducted from the Contract Price, as the case may be.
25.3 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract, the Contract Price shall be deemed to
have been calculated in the manner set out below and in sub-clauses 25.4 and 25.5
and shall be subject to adjustment in the events specified thereunder;
(i) The prices contained in the Contract Bills of Quantities shall be deemed to
be based upon the rates of wages and other
emoluments and expenses as determined by the Joint Building Council of
Kenya (J.B.C.) and set out in the schedule of basic rates issued 30 days
before the date for submission of tenders.A copy of the schedule used by
the Contractor in his pricing shall be attached in the Appendix to
Conditions of Contract.
(ii) Upon J.B.C. determining that any of the said rates of wages or other
emoluments and expenses are increased or decreased, then the Contract
Price shall be increased or decreased by the amount assessed by the Project
Manager based upon the difference, expressed as a percentage, between
the rate set out
in the schedule of basic rates issued 30 days before the date for submission
of tenders and the rate published by the J.B.C. and applied to the quantum
of labour incorporated within the amount of Work remaining to be
executed at the date of publication of such increase or decrease.
(iii) No adjustment shall be made in respect of changes in the rates of wages

and other emoluments and expenses which occur after the date of
Completion except during such other period as may be granted as an
extension of time under clause 17.0 of these Conditions.
25.4 The prices contained in the Contract Bills of Quantities shall be deemed to be
based upon the basic prices of materials to be permanently incorporated in the
Works as determined by the J.B.C. and set out in the schedule of basic rates issued
30 days before the date for submission of tenders. A copy of the schedule used by
the Contractor in his pricing shall be attached in the Appendix to Conditions of
Contract.
25.5 Upon the J.B.C. determining that any of the said basic prices are increased or
decreased then the Contract Price shall be increased or decreased by the amount to
be assessed by the Project Manager based upon the difference between the price
set out in the schedule of basic rates issued 30 days before the date for submission
of tenders and the rate published by the J.B.C. and applied to the quantum of the
relevant materials which have not been taken into account in arriving at the
amount of any interim certificate under clause 23 of these Conditions issued
before the date of publication of such increase or decrease.
43
25.6 No adjustment shall be made in respect of changes in basic prices of materials
which occur after the date for Completion except during such other period as may
be granted as an extension of time under clause 17.0 of these Conditions.
25.7 The provisions of sub-clause 25.1 to 25.2 herein shall not apply in respect of any
materials included in the schedule of basic rates.
26. Retention
26.1 The Employer shall retain from each payment due to the Contractor the proportion
stated in the Appendix to Conditions of Contract until Completion of the whole of
the Works. On Completion of the whole of the Works, half the total amount
retained shall be repaid to the Contractor and the remaining half when the Defects
Liability Period has passed and the Project Manager has certified that all defects
notified to the Contractor before the end of this period have been corrected.
27. Liquidated Damages
27.1 The Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Employer at the rate stated in
the Appendix to Conditions of Contract for each day that the actual Completion
Date is later than the Intended Completion Date. The Employer may deduct
liquidated damages from payments due to the Contractor. Payment of liquidated
damages shall not alter the Contractor’s liabilities.
27.2 If the Intended Completion Date is extended after liquidated damages have been
paid, the Project Manager shall correct any overpayment of liquidated damages by
the Contractor by adjusting the next payment certificate. The Contractor shall be
paid interest on the overpayment, calculated from the date of payment to the date
of repayment, at the rate specified in Clause 23.30
28. Securities
28.1 The Performance Security shall be provided to the Employer no later than the date
specified in the Letter of Acceptance and shall be issued in an amount and form
and by a reputable bank acceptable to the Employer, and denominated in Kenya
Shillings. The Performance Security shall be valid until a date 30 days beyond the
date of issue of the Certificate of Completion.
29. Dayworks
29.1 If applicable, the Dayworks rates in the Contractor’s tender shall be used for small
additional amounts of Work only when the Project Manager has given written
instructions in advance for additional work to be paid for in that way.
44
29.2 All work to be paid for as Dayworks shall be recorded by the Contractor on Forms
approved by the Project Manager. Each completed form shall be verified and
signed by the Project Manager within two days of the Work being done.

following are the Employer’s risks:
(a) The risk of personal injury, death or loss of or damage to property

(excluding the Works, Plant, Materials and Equipment), which are due to;
(i) use or occupation of the Site by the Works or for the purpose of the
Works, which is the unavoidable result of the Works, or
(ii) negligence, breach of statutory duty or interference with any legal

right by the Employer or by any person employed by or contracted
to him except the Contractor.
(b) The risk of damage to the Works, Plant, Materials, and Equipment to the
extent that it is due to a fault of the Employer or in Employer’s design, or
due to war or radioactive contamination directly affecting the place where
the Works are being executed.
30.2 From the Completion Date until the Defects Correction Certificate has been
issued, the risk of loss of or damage to the Works, Plant, and Materials is the
Employer’s risk except loss or damage due to;
(a) a defect which existed on or before the Completion Date.
(b) an event occurring before the Completion Date, which was not itself the
Employer’s risk
(c) the activities of the Contractor on the Site after the Completion Date.
30.3 From the Start Date until the Defects Correction Certificate has been issued, the
risks of personal injury, death and loss of or damage to property (including,
without limitation, the Works, Plant, Materials, and Equipment) which are not
Employer’s risk are Contractor’s risks.
The Contractor shall provide, in the joint names of the Employer and the
Contractor, insurance cover from the Start Date to the end of the Defects Liability
Period, in the amounts stated in the Appendix to Conditions of Contract for the
following events;
(a) loss of or damage to the Works, Plant, and Materials;
(b) loss of or damage to Equipment;
(c) loss of or damage to property (except the Works, Plant, Materials, and
Equipment) in connection with the Contract, and
(d) personal injury or death.
45

such insurance shall provide for compensation required to rectify the loss or
damage incurred.
30.5 If the Contractor does not provide any of the policies and certificates required, the
Employer may effect the insurance which the Contractor should have provided
and recover the premiums from payments otherwise due to the Contractor or, if no
payment is due, the payment of the premiums shall be a debt due.
30.6 Alterations to the terms of an insurance shall not be made without the approval of
the Project Manager. Both parties shall comply with any conditions of insurance
policies.
31. Completion and taking over
31.1 Upon deciding that the Works are complete, the Contractor shall issue a written
request to the Project Manager to issue a Certificate of Completion of the Works.
The Employer shall take over the Site and the Works within seven [7] days of the
Project Manager’s issuing a Certificate of Completion.
32. Final Account
32.1 The Contractor shall issue the Project Manager with a detailed account of the total
amount that the Contractor considers payable to him by the Employer under the
Contract before the end of the Defects Liability Period. The Project Manager shall
issue a Defects Liability Certificate and certify any final payment that is due to the
Contractor within 30 days of receiving the Contractor’s account if it is correct and
complete. If it is not, the Project Manager shall issue within 30 days a schedule
that states the scope of the corrections or additions that are necessary. If the final
account is still unsatisfactory after it has been resubmitted, the Project Manager
shall decide on the amount payable to the Contractor and issue a Payment
Certificate. The Employer shall pay the Contractor the amount due in the Final
Certificate within 60 days.

33.1 The Employer or the Contractor may terminate the Contract if the other party
causes a fundamental breach of the Contract. These
fundamental breaches of Contract shall include, but shall not be limited to, the
following;
(a) the Contractor stops work for 30 days when no stoppage of work is shown
on the current program and the stoppage has not been authorised by the
Project Manager;

Works, and the instruction is not withdrawn within 30 days;
46
(c) the Contractor is declared bankrupt or goes into liquidation other than for a
reconstruction or amalgamation;
(d) a payment certified by the Project Manager is not paid by the Employer to
the Contractor within 30 days (for Interim Certificate) or 60 days (for Final
Certificate)of issue.
(e) the Project Manager gives notice that failure to correct a particular defect
is a fundamental breach of Contract and the Contractor fails to correct it
within a reasonable period of time determined by the Project Manager;
(f) the Contractor does not maintain a security, which is required.
33.2 When either party to the Contract gives notice of a breach of Contract to the
Project Manager for a cause other than those listed under Clause 33.1 above, the
Project Manager shall decide whether the breach is fundamental or not.
33.3 Notwithstanding the above, the Employer may terminate the Contract for
convenience.
33.4 If the Contract is terminated, the Contractor shall stop work immediately, make
the Site safe and secure, and leave the Site as soon as reasonably possible. The
Project Manager shall immediately thereafter arrange for a meeting for the
purpose of taking record of the Works executed and materials, goods, equipment
and temporary buildings on Site.
34. Payment Upon Termination
34.1 If the Contract is terminated because of a fundamental breach of Contract by the

Contractor, the Project Manager shall issue a certificate for the value of the Work
done and materials ordered and delivered to Site up to the date of the issue of the
certificate. Additional liquidated damages shall not apply. If the total amount due
to the Employer exceeds any payment due to the Contractor, the difference shall
be a debt payable by the Contractor.
34.2 If the Contract is terminated for the Employer’s convenience or because of a

fundamental breach of Contract by the Employer, the Project Manager shall issue
a certificate for the value of the Work done, materials ordered, the reasonable cost
of removal of equipment, repatriation of the Contractor’s personnel employed
solely on the
Works, and the Contractor’s costs of protecting and securing the Works.
34.3 The Employer may employ and pay other persons to carry out and complete the
Works and to rectify any defects and may enter upon the Works and use all
materials on the Site, plant, equipment and temporary works.
34.4 The Contractor shall, during the execution or after the completion of the Works
under this clause remove from the Site as and when required, within such
reasonable time as the Project Manager may in writing specify, any temporary
buildings, plant, machinery, appliances, goods or materials belonging to or hired
by him, and in default the Employer may (without being responsible for any loss
47
or damage) remove and sell any such property of the Contractor, holding the
proceeds less all costs incurred to the credit of the Contractor.
Until after completion of the Works under this clause the Employer shall not be
bound by any other provision of this Contract to make any payment to the
Contractor, but upon such completion as aforesaid and the verification within a
reasonable time of the accounts therefore the Project Manager shall certify the
amount of expenses properly incurred by the Employer and, if such amount added
to the money paid to the Contractor before such determination exceeds the total
amount which would have been payable on due completion in accordance with
this Contract the difference shall be a debt payable to the Employer by the
Contractor; and if the said amount added to the said money be less than the said
total amount, the difference shall be a debt payable by the Employer to the
Contractor.
35. Release from Performance
35.1 If the Contract is frustrated by the outbreak of war or by any other event entirely
outside the control of either the Employer or the Contractor, the Project Manager
shall certify that the Contract has been frustrated. The Contractor shall make the

shall be paid for all Work carried out before receiving it.
36. Corrupt gifts and payments of commission
The Contractor shall not;
(a) Offer or give or agree to give to any person in the service of the

and of the terms and conditions of any agreement for the payment thereof have
been disclosed in writing to the Employer.
Any breach of this Condition by the Contractor or by anyone employed by him or

acting on his behalf (whether with or without the knowledge of the Contractor)
shall be an offence under the provisions of the Public Procurement Regulations
issued under The Exchequer and Audit Act Cap 412 of the Laws of Kenya.
37. Settlement Of Disputes
37.1 In case any dispute or difference shall arise between the Employer or the Project
Manager on his behalf and the Contractor, either during the progress or after the
completion or termination of the Works, such dispute shall be notified in writing
by either party to the other with a request to submit it to arbitration and to concur
48
in the appointment of an Arbitrator within thirty days of the notice. The dispute
shall be referred to the arbitration and final decision of a person to be agreed

applying party within ninety days of the occurrence or discovery of the matter or
issue giving rise to the dispute.
37.4 Notwithstanding the issue of a notice as stated above, the arbitration of such a
dispute or difference shall not commence unless an attempt has in the first
instance been made by the parties to settle such dispute or difference amicably
with or without the assistance of third parties. Proof of such attempt shall be
required.
37.5 Notwithstanding anything stated herein the following matters may be referred to

SECTION V - SPECIFICATIONS
Notes for preparing Specifications
1.0 Specifications must be drafted to present a clear and

precise statement of the required standards of materials,
and workmanship for tenderers to respond realistically and
competitively to the requirements of the Employer and ensure
responsiveness of tenders. The Specifications should require that
all materials, plant, and other supplies to be permanently
incorporated in the Works be new, unused, of the most recent or
current models, and incorporating all recent improvements in
design and materials unless provided otherwise in the Contract.
Where the Contractor is responsible for the design of any part of
the permanent Works, the extent of his obligations must be stated.
2.0 Specifications from previous similar projects are useful and may
not be necessary to re-write specifications for every Works
Contract.
3.0 There are considerable advantages in standardizing General

Specifications for repetitive Works in recognized public sectors,
such as highways, urban housing, irrigation and water supply. The
General Specifications should cover all classes of workmanship,
materials and equipment commonly involved in constructions,
although not necessarily to be used in a particular works contract.
Deletions or addenda should then adapt the General Specifications
to the particular Works.
4.0 Care must be taken in drafting Specifications to ensure they are not
restrictive. In the Specifications of standards for materials, plant
and workmanship, existing Kenya Standards should be used as
much as possible, otherwise recognized international standards may
also be used.
5.0 The Employer should decide whether technical solutions to

specified parts of the Works are to be permitted. Alternatives are
appropriate in cases where obvious (and potentially less costly)
alternatives are possible to the technical solutions indicated in
tender documents for certain elements of the Works, taking into
consideration the comparative specialized advantage of potential
tenderers.
The Employer should provide a description of the selected parts of

the Works with appropriate reference to Drawings, Specifications,
Bills of Quantities, and Design or Performance criteria, stating that
the alternative solutions shall be at least structurally and
functionally equivalent to the basic design parameters and
Specifications.
54
Such alternative solutions shall be accompanied by all information
necessary for a complete evaluation by the Employer, including
drawings, design calculations, technical specifications, breakdown
of prices, proposed construction methodology, and other relevant
details. Technical alternatives permitted in this manner shall be
considered by the Employer each on its own merits and
independently of whether the tenderer has priced the item as
described in the Employer’s design included with the tender
documents.
55
SECTION VI - DRAWINGS
Note 1. A list of drawings should be inserted here
2. The actual drawings including Site plans should be annexed in a

separate booklet.
56
SECTION VII - BILL OF QUANTITIES
Notes for preparing Bills of Quantities
1.0 The objectives of the Bills of Quantities are;
(a) to provide sufficient information on the quantities of Works to be performed to

enable tenders to be prepared efficiently and accurately; and
(b) when a Contract has been entered into, to provide a priced Bill of Quantities for
use in the periodic valuation of Works executed.
In order to attain these objectives, Works should be itemized in the Bill of

Quantities in sufficient detail to distinguish between the different classes of
Works, or between Works of the same nature carried out in different locations or
in other circumstances which may give rise to different considerations of cost.
Consistent with these requirements, the layout and content of the Bill of Quantities
should be as simple and brief as possible.
2.0 The Bills of Quantities should be divided generally into the following sections:
(a) Preliminaries.
The preliminaries should indicate the inclusiveness of the unit prices, and should
state the methods of measurement which have been adopted in the preparation of
the Bill of Quantities and which are to be used for the measurement of any part of
the Works.
The number of preliminary items to be priced by the tenderer should be limited to

tangible items such as site office and other temporary works, otherwise items such
as security for the Works which are primarily part of the Contractor’s obligations
should be included in the Contractor’s rates.
(b) Work Items
(i) The items in the Bills of Quantities should be grouped into sections to
distinguish between those parts of the Works which by nature, location,
access, timing, or any other special characteristics may give rise to
different methods of construction, or phasing of the Works, or
considerations of cost. General items common to all parts of the Works
may be grouped as a separate section in the Bill of Quantities.
(ii) Quantities should be computed net from the Drawings, unless directed
otherwise in the Contract, and no allowance should be made for bulking,
shrinkage or waste. Quantities should be rounded up or down where
appropriate.
57
(iii) The following units of measurement and abbreviations are recommended
for use.
Unit Abbreviation Unit Abbreviation

cubic meter m3 or cu m millimeter mm
hectare ha month mon
hour h number nr
kilogram kg square meter m2 or sq m
lump sum sum square millimeter mm2 or sq mm
meter m week wk
metric ton (1,000 t
kg)
(iv) The commencing surface should be identified in the description of

each item for Work involving excavation, boring or drilling, for
which the commencing surface is not also the original surface. The
excavated surface should be identified in the description of each
item for Work involving excavation for which the excavated
surface is not also the final surface. The depths of Work should be
measured from the commencing surface to the excavated surface,
as defined.
(c) Daywork Schedule
A Daywork Schedule should be included if the probability of unforeseen work, outside the
items included in the Bill of Quantities, is relatively high. To facilitate checking by the
Employer of the realism of rates quoted by the tenderers, the Daywork Schedule should
normally comprise:
(i) a list of the various classes of labour, and

materials for which basic Day work rates or
prices are to be inserted by the tenderer,
together with a statement of the conditions
under which the Contractor will be paid for
Work executed on a Day work basis; and
(ii) a percentage to be entered by the tenderer against each basic

Day work Subtotal amount for labour, materials and plant
representing the Contractor’s profit, overheads, supervision
and other charges.
58
(d) Provisional Quantities and Sums
(i) Provision for quantity contingencies in any particular
item or class of Work with a high expectation of
quantity overrun should be made by entering specific
“Provisional Quantities” or “Provisional Items” in the
Bill of Quantities, and not by increasing the quantities
for that item or class of Work beyond those of the Work
normally expected to be required. To the extent not
covered above, a general provision for physical
contingencies (quantity overruns) should be made by
including a “Provisional Sum” in the Summary of the
Bill of Quantities. Similarly, a contingency allowance
for possible price increases should be provided as a
“Provisional Sum” in the Summary of the Bill of
Quantities. The inclusion of such provisional sums often
facilitates budgetary approval by avoiding the need to
request periodic supplementary approvals as the future
need arises.
(ii) Provisional sums to cover specialized works normally carried out

by Nominated Sub Contractors should be avoided and instead Bills
of Quantities of the specialised Works should be included as a
section of the main Bills of Quantities to be priced by the Main
Contractor. The Main Contractor should be required to indicate the
name (s) of
the specialised firms he proposes to engage to carry out the specialized

Works as his approved domestic sub-contractors. Only provisional sums
to cover specialized Works by statutory authorities should be included in
the Bills of Quantities.
(e) Summary
The Summary should contain a tabulation of the separate parts of

the Bills of Quantities carried forward, with provisional sums for
Daywork, for physical (quantity) contingencies, and for price
contingencies (upward price adjustment) where applicable.
