Contracts
The BOQ is the underlying basis for the tender. In other words, the contract price
is arrived at, only, on the basis of the BOQ.
Under these contracts, the tenderer or contractor takes full responsibility for
construction of the project.
Although the design is the employer’s responsibility, there may be cases that
specific or micro issues related to designs may be left to the contractor.
Types of Contracts
It is widely accepted that these types of contracts are usually the most reliable
form of contracts to assess the end cost of the project.
Reason being, that in all such cases, the contractor’s bid is based on a lump sum
basis.
The down-side in such cases being that if the contractor has agreed to a lump
sum arrangement, there may be little or no lee way in subsequently raising claims
owing to delays which were within the contemplation of parties.
In other words, these contracts cap the employer’s liability, and unless some
exceptional circumstances are made out, the contractor is bound to perform the
work at the agreed rates.
Types of Contracts
Payments under these contracts will usually be made on an interim
or monthly basis.
