V - GUIDES PRESCRIBING THE SCOPE OF WORK AND ADOPTED UPON SUBJECTION OF CERTAIN ARCHITECTURAL SPECIALTIES
Guidelines for using the guides
Principles :
- The guides complete the tendering documents.
- The guides reproduced in this Schedule must be considered and complied with by tenderers only in the territories where they are applicable, i.e., only in the territories that have adopted them during the subjection of a specialty. In the table in Schedule I, the words “with guide” indicate such a subjection.
- The guides do not apply to tenders for electrical specialties or tenders for mechanical specialties.
Guidelines:
- A tender is deemed to include all work mentioned in the guide for the specialty in question.
- Work not mentioned in a guide does not implicitly fall under another specialty.
- A guide prescribes the scope of work for the specialty in question. However, a tender for a specialty with a guide must consider all adopted guides, as they may influence the scope of work covered by the tender. Guides do not apply to tenders for electrical specialties or mechanical specialties.
- The relevant sections of the specifications must be mentioned in the tender form, in accordance with Section E-2 of the Tendering Code. Mention of a section of the specifications implies the performance of all the work included in it, except:
a) the performance of work that falls within the scope of work prescribed in the guide for another specialty;
b) the performance of work that is specifically excluded by a guide. Such work is then excluded from the tender and no indication in the tender form is necessary.
- When work mentioned in a guide is included in a section of the specifications of another specialty, the tenderer must not mention this section in their tender form, but must include it in their price, except for work that is included in sections of the specifications relating to the electrical or mechanical specialties.
