15. Modifications by Change Orders
15.1 The Engineer shall have power to order any modification to any part of the works necessary for the
proper completion and /or functioning of the works. Such modifications may include additions,
omissions, substitutions, changes in quality, quantity, form, character, kind, position, dimension, level
or line and changes in the specified sequence, method or timing of execution of the works. No order
for a modification shall have the effect of invalidating the contract, but the financial effect, if any, of
all such modifications shall be valued in accordance with GCC Clauses 15.5 and 15.7.
15.2 All change orders shall be issued in writing, it being understood that:
(a) if for any reason, the Engineer shall find it necessary to give an order orally, he shall as soon
as possible thereafter confirm the order by an change order;

(b) if the Contractor shall confirm in writing an oral order given for the purpose of GCC Clause
15.2 (a) and the confirmation shall not be contradicted in writing forthwith by the Engineer, an
change order shall be deemed to have been issued for the modification.
A change order for modification shall not be required for increase or decrease in the quantity of any
work where such increase or decrease is the result of the quantity exceeding or being less than that
stated in the bill of quantities or price schedule, as the result of valuation of works laid down in GCC
Clause 63.
15.3 Except as provided by GCC Clause 15.2 prior to any change order for modification, the Engineer
shall notify the Contractor of the nature and form of such modification. As soon as possible, after

modification shall be carried out he shall issue the change order stating that the modification shall be
carried out at the prices and under the conditions given in the Contractor's submission referred to in
GCC Clause 15.3 or as modified by the Engineer in accordance with GCC Clause 15.5.
15.5 The prices for all modifications ordered by the Engineer in accordance with GCC Clause 15.2 and
15.4 shall be ascertained by the Engineer in accordance with the following principles:
(a) where work is of similar character and executed under similar conditions to work priced in the
bill of quantities or price schedule it shall be valued at such rates and prices contained therein;
(b) where work is not of a similar character or is not executed under similar conditions, the rates
and prices in the contract to be agreed through negotiation between the Engineer and the
Contractor shall conform to the prevailing market price;
(c) if the nature or amount of any modification relative to the nature or amount of the whole of the
contract or to any part thereof shall be such that in the opinion of the Engineer any rate or price
contained in the contract for any item of work is by reason of such modification rendered
unreasonable, then the Engineer shall fix such rate or price as in the circumstances he shall
think reasonable and proper;
(d) where a modification is necessitated by default or breach of contract by the Contractor, any
additional cost attributable to such modification shall be borne by the Contractor.
15.6 On receipt of the change order requesting the modification, the Contractor shall proceed to carry out
the modification and be bound by these GCC in so doing as if such modification were stated in the
contract. The works shall not be delayed pending the granting of any extension of time for completion
or adjustment to the contract price. Where the order for a modification precedes the adjustment to the
contract price, the Contractor shall keep records of the costs of undertaking the modification and of
time expended thereon. Such records shall be open to inspection by the Engineer at all reasonable
times.
15.7 Where on provisional acceptance an increase or reduction in the total value of the works resulting
from a change order, or from some other circumstance which is not caused by the Contractor's default,
exceeds 25% of the initial contract price (or as modified by addendum), the Engineer shall, after
consultation with the Public Body and the Contractor determine any reduction from the contract price
as a consequence of the application of GCC Clause 15.5. The sum so determined shall be based on
the amount by which the increase or decrease in value of the works exceeds 25%. The sum shall be
notified by the Engineer to the Public Body and the Contractor and the contract price adjusted
accordingly.
15.8 The total value of the works resulting from a change order shall not exceed 30% of the total value of
the initial contract price.
15.9 Any change to the terms of the Contract must be recorded in writing and executed by authorized
signatory of the Contractor and the Engineer. Such record of the change in question must address all
consequential amendments required to be made to the Contract as a result of such change.
15.10 Changes will take effect as from the date specified in the signed record of change and shall not have
retrospective effect unless expressly provided for in such record.
15.11 Each record of change must be dated and sequentially numbered. Each of the Public Body and the
Contractor will be entitled to an original executed counterpart of the record of variation.
15.12 Except as provided in any such record of variation, the Contract will continue in full force and effect.
16. Change in Laws and Regulations

law, regulation, ordinance, order or bylaw having the force of law is enacted, promulgated, abrogated,

deemed to include any change in interpretation or application by the competent authorities) that
subsequently affects the Completion Date and/or the Contract Price, then such Contract Price shall
not be correspondingly increased or decreased and/or the Completion Date shall not be adjusted to
the extent that Contractor has thereby been affected in the performance of any of its obligations under
the Contract.
17. Taxes and Duties

18.3 The failure of a Contractor to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder shall not be considered to be a
breach of, or default under, the Contract insofar as such inability arises from an event of Force
Majeure, provided that the Contractor affected by such an event has taken all reasonable precautions,
due care and reasonable alternative measures, all with the objective of carrying out the terms and
conditions of the Contract.

28. Confidentiality
28.1 The Public Body and the Contractor shall keep confidential and shall not disclose to any third party
any documents, data, or other information furnished directly or indirectly by the other party hereto in
connection with the Contract, whether such information has been furnished prior to, during or
following completion or termination of the Contract if their disclosure would be contrary to law,
would impede law enforcement, would not be in public interest, would prejudice legitimate
commercial interest of the parties or would inhibit fair competition.. Notwithstanding the above, the
Contractor may furnish to its sub-contractors such documents, data, and other information it receives
from the Public Body to the extent required for the sub-contractor to perform its work under the

Contract, in which event the Contractor shall obtain from such sub-contractor an undertaking of
confidentiality similar to that imposed on the Contractor under this Clause.
28.2 The Public Body shall not use such documents, data, and other information received from the
Contractor for any purposes unrelated to the Contract. Similarly, the Contractor shall not use such
documents, data, and other information received from the Public Body for any purpose other than
carrying out the Works in accordance with the Contract.

financing of the Contract;
(b) Now or hereafter enters the public domain other than by breach of the Contract or other act or
omissions of that Party;
(c) Is obtained by a third party who is lawfully authorized to disclose such information;
(d) Can be proven to have been possessed by that party at the time of disclosure and which was not
previously obtained, directly or indirectly, from the other party; or
(e) Is authorized for release by the prior written consent of the other party.

in their possession prior to the commencement of the Contract;

as may be notified to the Contractor in writing by the Public Body from time to time to the extent only
as is necessary for the purposes of auditing and collating information so as to ascertain a realistic
market price for the Works carried out in accordance with the Contract, such exercise being commonly
referred to as "benchmarking". The Public Body shall use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that such
person(s) keeps the Confidential Information confidential and does not make use of the Confidential
Information except for the purpose for which the disclosure is made. The Public Body shall not
without good reason claim that the lowest price available in the market is the realistic market price.
28.6 The Contractor agrees that:
(a) Subject to GCC Sub-Clause 28.6 (b), the decision on whether any exemption applies to a
request for disclosure of recorded information is a decision solely for the Public Body;
(b) Where the Public Body is managing a request as referred to in GCC Sub-Clause 28.6 (a), the
Contractor shall co-operate with the Public Body making the request and shall respond within
five (5) working days of any request by it for assistance in determining how to respond to a
request for disclosure.
28.7 The Contractor shall procure that its sub-contractors shall provide the Public Body with a copy of all
information in its possession or power in the form that the Public Body requires within five (5)

that Information.
28.8 The Public Body may consult the Contractor in relation to any request for disclosure of the
Contractor's Confidential Information in accordance with all applicable guidance.
28.9 The above provisions of this Clause shall not in any way modify any undertaking of confidentiality
given by either of the parties hereto prior to the date of the Contract.
28.10 This GCC Clause 28 shall remain in force without limit in time in respect of Confidential Information
which comprises Personal Data. Except as aforesaid and unless otherwise expressly set out in the
Contract, this GCC Clause 28 shall remain in force for a period of 3 years after the termination or
expiry of this Contract.

28.11 In the event that the Contractor fails to comply with this GCC Clause 28, the Public Body reserves
the right to terminate the Contract by notice in writing with immediate effect.

59.6 The period referred to in GCC Clause 59.3 may be suspended by notifying the Contractor that the
payment certificate or the final statement of accounts cannot be fulfilled because the sum is not due,

become due and repayable immediately and no further advance payments will be made to him.
60.6 Should the advance payment security cease to be valid and the Contractor fail to re-validate it, either
a deduction equal to the amount of the advance payment may be made by the Public Body from future
payments due to the Contractor under the contract, or the Public Body may apply the provisions of
GCC Clause 58.6.

(a) at the bid closing date, or
(b) if the Contract Price has been adjusted previously, the date on which the Public Body
received notification from the Contractor in respect of the last adjustment to effect
the current Contract Price;
B= The fraction of the Contract Price subject to adjustment in accordance with
movements of the selected Material Price Index
MMI = The most recently available selected Material Price Index on the date on which the

62.13 The fraction for each specified element and exact combination of elements that will be applied in the
formula for price adjustment shall be determined in the SCC.
62.14 An increase in the Contract Price takes effect as the new Contract Price in relation to the selected
category on the first day of the next Payment Period following receipt of an application for increase

provided the application is received no later than 14 days prior to the commencement of that Payment
Period.
62.15 An increase in the Contract Price takes effect as the new Contract Price in relation to the selected
categories of inputs on the expiration of 30 days from the date on which the Public Body receives
notification of the increased price from the Contractor, unless another date is agreed in writing
between the Parties;
62.16 When the Contractor varies the Contract Price of a Product or Service it must supply a copy of a
revised Pricing Schedule which incorporates the proposed changes in price and specifies the date on
which the proposed variation in price is to take effect in accordance with GCC Sub-Clauses 62.14 and
62.15.
62.17 The Contractor shall, when it notifies or requests a price adjustment under GCC Sub-Clause 62.12,
provide to the Public Body such Document or other information as the Contractor considers
appropriate for the purpose of substantiating the requested price adjustment.
62.18 Where the Public Body questions a price increase notified or requested under GCC Sub-Clause 62.12,
and the Contractor is not able, on the basis of the information it provided to the Public Body, to
substantiate to the Public Body any, or a part of, the notified or requested price adjustment, the
Contract Price shall be increased by only so much as the Contractor is able to substantiate and:
(a) the substantiated increased Contract Price shall take effect as the new Contract Price in relation
to the Works as the case may be, on the date referred to in GCC Sub-Clause 62.14 or 62.15
unless another date is agreed in writing between the Parties; and
(b) the Contractor shall, if it has not already done so, supply a suitably revised Pricing Schedule in
accordance with the requirements of GCC Sub-Clause 62.16.
62.19 Any discount offered by the Contractor under this Agreement cannot be reduced during the Term of

63. Valuation of Works
63.1 The following methods shall apply to the valuation of works:

(a) For unit-price (admeasurement) contracts:
(i) The amount due under the contract shall be calculated by applying the unit rates to the
quantities actually executed for the respective items, in accordance with the Contract;
(ii) The quantities set out in the bill of quantities shall be the estimated quantities of the works,
which shall not be taken as the actual and correct quantities of the works to be executed
by the Contractor in fulfillment of his obligations under the Contract;
(iii) The Engineer shall determine by measurement the actual quantities of the works executed
by the Contractor, and these shall be paid for in accordance with GCC Clause 64. Unless
otherwise provided in the SCC no additions shall be made to the items in the bill of
quantities except as a result of a modification in accordance with GCC Clause 15 or
another provision of the Contract entitling the Contractor to additional payment;
(iv) The Engineer shall, when he requires any parts of the works to be measured, give
reasonable notice to the Contractor to attend, or to send a qualified agent to represent him.
The Contractor or his agent shall assist the Engineer in making such measurements and
shall furnish all particulars required by the Engineer. Should the Contractor not attend, or
omit to send such agent, the measurement made by the Engineer or approved by him shall
be binding on the Contractor;
(b) For lump-sum contracts, the amount due under the Contract shall be determined on the basis of
the breakdown of the overall contract price, or on the basis of a breakdown expressed as a
percentage of the contract price corresponding to completed stages of the works. Where items
are accompanied by quantities, these shall be firm quantities for which the Contractor has
submitted his all-in price, and shall be paid for irrespective of the quantities of work actually
carried out.
64. Interim Payment
64.1 Unless otherwise specified in the SCC, the Contractor shall submit monthly statement for interim
payment to the Engineer at the end of each period referred to in GCC Clause 64.7 in a form approved
by the Engineer. The monthly statement shall include the following items, as applicable:

in question;
(b) An amount reflecting any price adjustment pursuant to GCC Clause 62;
(c) An amount to be withheld as retention sum under GCC Clause 61;
(d) Any credit and/or debit for the period in question in respect of plant and materials on Site
intended for, but not yet incorporated in, the permanent works in the amount and under the
conditions set out in GCC Clause 64.2;
(e) An amount to be deducted on account of the advance payment repayment under the provisions
of GCC Clause 60; and
(f) Any other sum to which the Contractor may be entitled under the Contract.
64.2 The Contractor shall be entitled to such sums as the Engineer may consider proper in respect of plant
and materials intended for, but not yet incorporated in, the permanent works provided that:
(a) The plant and materials conform with the specifications for the permanent works and are set
out in batches in a way that they may be recognized by the Engineer;
(b) Such plant and materials have been delivered to the Site, and are properly stored and protected
against loss or damage or deterioration to the satisfaction of the Engineer;
(c) The Contractor's record of requirements, orders, receipts and use of plant and materials under
the contract are kept in a form approved by the Engineer and such records are available for
inspection by the Engineer;
(d) The Contractor submits with his statement, the estimated value of the plant and materials on
Site together with such documents as may be required by the Engineer for the purpose of
valuation of the plant and materials and providing evidence of ownership and payment
therefore; and
(e) Where the SCC so provide, ownership of the plant and materials referred to in GCC Clause 83
shall be deemed to be vested in the Public Body.
64.3 Approval by the Engineer of any interim payment certified by him in respect of plant and materials
pursuant to this GCC Clause shall be without prejudice to the exercise of any power of the Engineer
under the Contract to reject any plant or materials which are not in accordance with the provisions of
the Contract.

of, such plant and materials on site and shall effect such additional insurance as may be necessary to
cover the risk of such loss or damage from any cause.
64.5 Within 30 days of receipt of the said statement for interim payment, it shall be approved or amended
in such manner that, in the Engineer's opinion, the application reflects the amount due to the
Contractor in accordance with the Contract. In cases where there is a difference of opinion as to the
value of an item, the Engineer's view shall prevail. On determination of the amount due to the
Contractor, the Engineer shall, within the same 30 days deadline, issue and transmit to the Public
Body for payment and to the Contractor for information, an Interim Payment Certificate for the
amount due to the Contractor and shall inform the Contractor of the works for which payment is being
made.
64.6 The Engineer may, by an Interim Payment Certificate, make any corrections or modifications to any
previous certificate issued by him and shall have power to modify the valuation in or withhold the
issue of, any Interim Payment Certificate if the works or any part thereof is not being carried out to
his satisfaction.
64.7 Unless the SCC provide otherwise, the frequency shall be one interim payment per month.
65. Final Statement of Account
65.1 Unless otherwise agreed in the SCC, the Contractor shall not later than 90 days after the issue of the
Final Acceptance Certificate referred to in GCC Clause 89, submit to the Engineer a draft final
statement of account with supporting documents showing in detail the value of the work done in
accordance with the Contract, together with all further sums which the Contractor considers to be due
to him under the Contract in order to enable the Engineer to prepare the final statement of account.

required for its verification, the Engineer shall prepare the final statement of account, which
determines:

Public Body is entitled under the Contract, the balance, if any, due from the Public Body to the
Contractor, or from the Contractor to the Public Body, as the case may be.
65.3 The Engineer shall issue to the Public Body or to its duly authorized representative, and to the
Contractor, the final statement of account showing the final amount to which the Contractor is entitled
under the Contract. The Public Body or its duly authorized representative and the Contractor shall
sign the final statement of account as an acknowledgement of the full and final value of the work
implemented under the Contract and shall promptly submit a signed copy to the Engineer. However,
the final statement of account shall not include amounts in dispute which are the subject of
negotiations or amicable settlement.
65.4 The final statement of account signed by the Contractor shall constitute a written discharge of the
Public Body confirming that the total in the final statement of account represents full and final
settlement of all monies due to the Contractor under the Contract, other than those amounts which are
the subject of amicable settlement. However, such discharge shall become effective only after any
payment due in accordance with the final statement of account has been made and the performance
security referred to in GCC Clause 58 has been returned to the Contractor.
65.5 The Public Body shall not be liable to the Contractor for any matter or thing whatsoever arising out
of, or in accordance with, the Contract or execution of the works, unless the Contractor shall have
included a claim in respect thereof in his draft final statement of account.
66. Direct Payments to Sub-Contractors
66.1 When the Engineer receives a claim from a Sub-Contractor duly approved under GCC Clause 14 to
the effect that the Contractor has not met his financial obligations so far as the Sub-Contractor is
concerned, the Engineer shall give notice to the Contractor either to pay the Sub-Contractor or to
inform him of the reasons why payment should not be made. Should such payment not be made, or
reasons not be given within the period of notice, the Engineer may, after satisfying himself that the
work has been carried out, certify, and the Public Body shall meet the debt claimed by the Sub-

Contractor out of the sums remaining due to the Contractor. The Contractor shall remain entirely
responsible for the work in respect of which direct payment has been made.
66.2 If the Contractor gives adequate reasons for refusing to meet all or part of the debt claimed by the
Sub-Contractor, the Public Body shall only pay to the Sub-Contractor such sums as are not in dispute.
Sums claimed by the Sub-Contractor in respect of which the Contractor has given adequate reasons
for his refusal to pay shall be paid by the Public Body only after the parties have come to an amicable
settlement or after a judgment of a court has been duly notified to the Engineer.
66.3 Direct payments to Sub-Contractors shall not exceed the value at contract prices of the services
performed by the Sub-Contractors for which they request payment; the value at contract prices shall
be calculated or assessed on the basis of the bill of quantities, the price schedule or the breakdown of
the lump sum price.
66.4 Direct payments to Sub-Contractors shall be made entirely in the currency specified in SCC Clause
59.1.
66.5 The provisions of this GCC Clause shall apply subject to the requirements of the law applicable by
virtue of GCC Clause 68 concerning the right to payment of creditors who are beneficiaries of an
assignment of credit or of a collateral security.
67. Delayed Payments
67.1 Once the time-limit referred to in GCC Clause 59.3 has expired, the Contractor – unless the Contractor
is a public body which is partly or wholly financed by the Federal Government Budget – shall upon
demand, submitted within two months of receiving late payment, be entitled to late-payment interest
at the rediscount rate applied by the National bank of Ethiopia on the first day of the month in which
the time-limit expired, plus three and a half percentage points. The interest shall be payable for the
time elapsed between the expiry of the payment deadline and the date on which the Public Body’s
account is debited. .
67.2 Any default in payment of more than 120 days from the expiry of the period laid down in GCC Clause
67.1 shall entitle the Contractor either not to perform the Contract or to terminate it.

68.3 In the event of a legally binding attachment of the property of the Contractor affecting payments due
to him under the contract, without prejudice to the time limit laid down in GCC Clause 67, the Public
Body shall have 30 days, starting from the day when it receives notification of the definitive lifting of
the obstacle to payment, to resume payments to the Contractor.
69. Claims for Additional Payment
69.1 If under the Contract there are circumstances which the Contractor considers entitle him to additional
payment, the Contractor shall:
(a) if he intends to make any claim for additional payment, give to the Engineer notice of his
intention or make such claim within 15 days after the said circumstances become known to the
Contractor, stating the reason for his claim; and

(b) submit full and detailed particulars of his claim as soon as it is reasonably practicable, but no
later than 60 days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed by the Engineer. In case
the Engineer agrees to another deadline than the said 60 days, the agreed upon deadline will in
any event, require that such particulars shall be submitted no later than the date of submission
of the draft final statement of account. The Contractor shall thereafter promptly submit such
further particulars as the Engineer may reasonably require assessing the validity of the claim.
69.2 When the Engineer has received the full and detailed particulars of the Contractor's claim that he
requires, he shall, without prejudice to GCC Clause 44.4, after due consultation with the Public Body
and, where appropriate, the Contractor, determine whether the Contractor is entitled to additional
payment and notify the parties accordingly.
69.3 The Engineer may reject any claim for additional payment which does not comply with the
requirements of this GCC Clause.

the end of the period specified for implementation of tasks or extended Intended Completion Date
under GCC Clause 72 and the actual date of completion, at the rate and up to the maximum amount
specified in the GCC Clause 27. If the works have been the subject of partial acceptance in accordance

SCC.
79.3 The Contractor shall ensure that statements are drawn up, in good time and in accordance with the

the Contractor to the Engineer. The request shall indicate the reference to the contract, the lot number
and the place where such acceptance is to take place, as appropriate. The components and materials
specified in the request must be certified by the Engineer as meeting the requirements for such
acceptance prior to their incorporation in the works.
80.4 Even if materials or items to be incorporated in the works or in the manufacture of components have
been technically accepted in this way, they may still be rejected and must be replaced immediately by

the Contractor if a further examination reveals defects or faults. The Contractor may be given the
opportunity to repair and make good materials and items which have been rejected, but such materials
and items will be accepted for incorporation in the works only if they have been repaired and made
good to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
81. Inspection and Testing
81.1 The Contractor shall ensure that the components and materials are delivered to the site in time to allow
the Engineer to proceed with acceptance of the components and materials. The Contractor is deemed
to have fully appreciated the difficulties which he might encounter in this respect, and he shall not be
permitted to advance any grounds for delay in fulfilling his obligations.
81.2 The Engineer shall be entitled, either by himself or his agent, to inspect, examine, measure and test
the components, materials and workmanship, and check the progress of preparation, fabrication or

Engineer's presence. The Contractor shall forthwith forward duly certified copies of the test results to
the Engineer, who shall, if he has not attended the test, be bound by the test results.
81.5 When components and materials have passed the tests referred to in this GCC Clause, the Engineer
shall notify the Contractor or endorse the procedure's certificate to that effect.
81.6 If the Engineer and the Contractor disagree on the test results, each shall give a statement of his views
to the other within 15 days after such disagreement arises. The Engineer or the Contractor may require
such tests to be repeated on the same terms and conditions or, if either party so requests, by an expert
to be selected by common consent. All test reports shall be submitted to the Engineer who shall
communicate the results of these tests without delay to the Contractor. The results of the re-testing
shall be conclusive. The cost of the re-testing shall be borne by the party whose views are proved
wrong by the re-testing.
81.7 In the performance of his duties, the Engineer and all persons authorized by him shall disclose only
to those persons who are entitled to know of it information which he has obtained by reason of his
inspection and testing of the methods of manufacture and operation of the undertaking.
82. Rejection
82.1 Components and materials which are not of the specified quality shall be rejected. A special mark
may be applied to the rejected components or materials. This shall not be such as to alter them or
affect their commercial value. Rejected components and materials shall be removed by the Contractor
from the site within a period which the Engineer shall specify, failing which they shall be removed

by the Engineer as of right at the expense and risk of the Contractor. Any work incorporating rejected
components or materials shall be rejected.
82.2 The Engineer shall, during the progress of the works and before the works are taken over, have the
power to order or decide:
(a) the removal from the Site, within such time limits as may be specified in the order, of any
components or materials which, in the opinion of the Engineer, are not in accordance with the
contract;
(b) the substitution of proper and suitable components or materials; or
(c) the demolition and proper re-execution, or satisfactory repair, notwithstanding any previous
test thereof or interim payment therefore, of any work which, in respect of components,
materials, workmanship or design by the Contractor for which he is responsible, is not, in the
opinion of the Engineer, in accordance with the Contract.
82.3 The Engineer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, give to the Contractor notice in writing of his
decision specifying particulars of the alleged defects.
82.4 The Contractor shall with all speed and at his expense make good the defects so specified. If the
Contractor does not comply with such order, the Public Body shall be entitled to employ other persons
to carry out the same and all expenses consequent thereon or incidental thereto may be deducted by
the Public Body from any monies due or which may become due to the Contractor.
82.5 The provisions of this GCC Clause shall not affect the right of the Public Body to claim under GCC
Clauses 19 and 78.
83. Ownership of Plant and Materials
83.1 All equipment, temporary works, plant and materials provided by the Contractor shall, when brought
on the Site, be deemed to be exclusively intended for the execution of the works and the Contractor
shall not remove the same or any part thereof, except for the purpose of moving it from one part of
the site to another, without the consent of the Engineer. Such consent shall, however, not be required
for vehicles engaged in transporting any staff, labor, equipment, temporary works, plant or materials
to or from the Site.
83.2 The SCC may provide that all equipment, temporary works, plant and materials on Site owned by the
Contractor or by any company in which the Contractor has a controlling interest shall, for the duration

and materials on Site in order to complete the works.
83.4 Any agreement for the hire by the Contractor of equipment, temporary works, plant and materials
brought onto the Site, shall contain a provision that on request in writing made by the Public Body
within 7 days after the date on which the termination under GCC Clause 21 becomes effective, and
on the Public Body undertaking to pay all hire charges in respect thereof from such date, the owner
thereof will hire such equipment, temporary works, plant or materials to the Public Body on the same
terms as they were hired by the Contractor, except that the Public Body shall be entitled to permit the
use thereof by any other Contractor employed by him for completing the works under the provisions
of GCC Clause 21.5.

83.5 Upon termination of the contract before completion of the works, the Contractor shall deliver to the
Public Body any plant, temporary works, equipment or materials the property in which has vested in
the Public Body or been made subject to a lien by virtue of GCC Clause 83.2. If he fails to do so, the
Public Body may take such appropriate action as it deems fit in order to obtain possession of such
plant, temporary works, equipment and materials and recover the cost of so doing from the Contractor.
84. General Principles
84.1 Verification of the works by the Engineer with a view to provisional or final acceptance shall take
place in the presence of the Contractor. The absence of the Contractor shall not be a bar to verification
on condition that the Contractor has been summoned in due form at least 30 days prior to the date of
verification.
84.2 Should exceptional circumstances make it impossible to ascertain the state of the works or otherwise
proceed with their acceptance during the period fixed for provisional or final acceptance, a statement
certifying such impossibility shall be drawn up by the Engineer after consultation, where possible,
with the Contractor. The verification shall take place and a statement of acceptance or rejection shall
be drawn up by the Engineer within 30 days following the date on which such impossibility ceases to
exist. The Contractor shall not invoke these circumstances in order to avoid his obligation to present
the works in a state suitable for acceptance.

86.1 The Public Body may make use of the various structures, parts of structures or sections of the works
forming part of the contract as and when they are completed. Any taking over of the structures, parts
of structures or sections of the works by the Public Body shall be preceded by their partial provisional
acceptance. However, works may in cases of urgency be taken over prior to acceptance provided an
inventory of outstanding work is drawn up by the Engineer and agreed to by the Contractor and the
Engineer beforehand. Once the Public Body has taken possession of a structure, a part thereof or
section of the works, the Contractor shall no longer be required to make good any damage resulting
otherwise than from faulty construction or workmanship.
86.2 The Engineer may, at the request of the Contractor and if the nature of the works so permits proceeds
with partial provisional acceptance, provided that the structures, parts of structures or sections of the
works are completed and suited to the use as described in the Contract.

86.3 In the cases of partial provisional acceptance referred to in GCC Sub-Clauses 86.1 and 86.2 the
Defects Liability Period provided for in GCC Clause 88 shall, unless the SCC provide otherwise, run
as from the date of such partial provisional acceptance.

issued.
87.2 The Contractor may apply, by notice to the Engineer, for a certificate of provisional acceptance not
earlier than 15 days before the works, in the Contractor's opinion, are complete and ready for
provisional acceptance. The Engineer shall within 30 days after the receipt of the Contractor's
application either:
(a) issue the certificate of provisional acceptance to the Contractor with a copy to the Public Body
stating, where appropriate, his reservations, and, inter alia, the date on which, in his opinion,
the works were completed in accordance with the Contract and ready for provisional
acceptance; or
(b) reject the application giving his reasons and specifying the action which, in his opinion, is
required of the Contractor for the certificate to be issued.
87.3 If the Engineer fails either to issue the certificate of provisional acceptance or to reject the Contractor's
application within the period of 30 days, he shall be deemed to have issued the certificate on the last
day of that period. The certificate of provisional acceptance shall not be deemed to be an admission
that the works have been completed in every respect. If the works are divided by the contract into
sections, the Contractor shall be entitled to apply for separate certificates for each of the sections.
87.4 Upon provisional acceptance of the works, the Contractor shall dismantle and remove temporary
structures as well as materials no longer required for use in connection with the performance of the
contract. He shall also remove any litter or obstruction and redress any change in the condition of the

partial acceptance, the Defects Liability Period shall be extended only for the part of the works
affected by the replacement or renewal.
88.3 If any such defect appears or such damage occurs, during the period referred to in GCC Clause 88.1,
the Public Body or the Engineer shall notify the Contractor. If the Contractor fails to remedy a defect
or damage within the time limit stipulated in the notification, the Public Body may:

(a) carry out the works himself, or employ someone else to carry out the works, at the Contractor's
risk and cost, in which case the costs incurred by the Public Body shall be deducted from monies
due to or from securities held against the Contractor or from both; or
(b) terminate the Contract.
88.4 If the defect or damage is such that the Public Body has been deprived substantially of the whole or a
part of the benefit of the works, the Public Body shall, without prejudice to any other remedy, be
entitled to recover all sums paid in respect of the parts of the works concerned together with the cost
of dismantling such parts and clearing the Site.
88.5 In case of emergency, where the Contractor cannot be reached immediately or, having been reached,
is unable to take the measures required, the Public Body or the Engineer may have the work carried
out at the expense of the Contractor. The Public Body or the Engineer shall as soon as practicable
inform the Contractor of the action taken.
88.6 Where the SCC stipulates that the maintenance work, necessitated by normal wear and tear, shall be
carried out by the Contractor, such work shall be paid for from a provisional sum. Deterioration
resulting from the circumstances provided for in GCC Clause 44 or from abnormal use shall be
excluded from this obligation unless it reveals a fault or defect justifying the request for repair or
replacement under GCC Clause 88.
88.7 The defects liability shall be stipulated in the SCC. If the duration of the Defects Liability Period is
not specified, it shall be 365 days. The Defects Liability Period shall commence on the date of
provisional acceptance.
88.8 After provisional acceptance and without prejudice to the defects liability referred to in this GCC
Clause, the Contractor shall no longer be responsible for risks which may affect the works and which
result from causes not attributable to him. However, the Contractor shall be responsible as from the
date of provisional acceptance for the soundness of the construction, as laid down in the in the
Ethiopian law.
89. Final Acceptance
89.1 Upon the expiry of the Defects Liability Period, or where there is more than one such period, upon
the expiry of the latest period, and when all defects or damage have been rectified, the Engineer shall
issue to the Contractor a Final Acceptance Certificate and a copy thereof to the Public Body stating
the date on which the Contractor completed his obligations under the Contract to the Engineer's
satisfaction. The Final Acceptance Certificate shall be given by the Engineer within 30 days after the
expiration of the above stated period, or as soon as any works ordered under GCC Clause 88 have
been completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
89.2 The works shall not be considered as completed until the Final Acceptance Certificate has been signed
by the Engineer and delivered to the Public Body, with a copy to the Contractor.
89.3 Notwithstanding the issue of the Final Acceptance Certificate, the Contractor and the Public Body
shall remain liable for the fulfillment of any obligation incurred under the contract prior to the issue
of the Final Acceptance Certificate, which remains unperformed at the time such Final Acceptance
Certificate is issued. The nature and extent of any such obligation shall be determined by reference to
the provisions of the contract.

4.2 Classification of Excavation Materials

4.2.1 General
The terms of the below formations are hereby defined for the purpose of this contract only for
classifying excavated materials for payment.
a) Hard Rock (sound rock)

This classification covers the basaltic or other rock type, which is black, dark grey and etc in
color. This rock is very hard. The normal means of excavation requires the uses of explosives.
Where blasting is not permitted, the contractor shall use heavy-duty rock breaking equipment.
Highly interlocked boulders of wide areal extent (above 2 meter in both ways) that require
machine to be excavated will be included under this type of rock. Slightly fractured rocks that
require heavy-duty machine to be excavated shall be grouped under hard rock.

b) Soft Rock
This classification may include but not necessarily limited to basaltic and ignimbrite rocks. It is
rather soft, can easily be hewn, and can be excavated by means of sledge hammers, wedges and
miners bars. Isolated volume of boulder of any size interlocked to a reasonable degree that
require manual materials or simple machine are also grouped under this type of rock. Moderately
to highly fractured/jointed and/ or weathered rocks are categorized under soft rock. Volcanic
ash, tuff, river deposits and highly weathered materials are grouped under soft rock.
c) Earth
Earth shall mean all material except hard and soft rock as defined above in clauses a and b. Earth
shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, all geologically recent materials overlying rock
such as alluvium, black-cotton and talus, all layers of earth which are cemented so that the earth
becomes conglomerate, decomposed materials shall be considered as earth.
d) In all formation
In all formation shall mean excavation in hard, soft rock and earth materials.
e) Formation classification: - the formation classification for estimating of rate is as follows.
The depth classification works for all types of formations.
Depth of
0-1.5m 1.5-3m >3m

4.2.2 Excavation Open Cut

a) Excavation Method
The contractor shall perform all open cut excavation and grading to the final elevation lines and
grades shown on the drawings or approved by the Engineer. The rock Excavation in the
foundation area of the structures shall be done by such care full methods as line route cutting
or chiseling using skill labor. The contractor plan his excavation operations in the rock area in
such manner that the bulk of material produced is of < 30mmsize. The responsibility for the
success of excavation method shall rest with the contractor regardless of approval by engineer.
The rock excavation from the main canal and others structures’ foundation area be stockpiled
as per instruction of the Engineer.

b) Excavation Extent
Excess excavation performed by the contractor for any purpose or reason, except that order in
writing by the engineer, shall be at the expense of the contractor. All excavation for structures
shall be carried to foundation material satisfactory to the engineer regardless of whether the
elevation therefore is higher or lower than the elevation shown on the drawings. All necessary
precautions shall be taken to preserve the material below and beyond the lines of all excavation
in undisturbed conditions. All over excavation required by the engineer to be backfilled shall
be back filled by the contractor in the accordance with the instruction of engineer. Materials for
use in the work shall be carefully excavated to produce the material in form suitable for the
work.
c) Excavation allowable
Except for trench excavation and Earthen channel excavation, Excavation for structures
construction shall be performed within the working space for excavation limits indicated below.

The measurement and payment for excavation shall be according to the type of excavation that
is hard rock or soft rock or earth, as classified in the field by the engineer. The item rate for
payment of excavation with tolerances as specified under excavation tolerance for backfill or
waste shall include the disposition of material in the specified manner. Payment will be made
for the number of excavated cubic meters measured as provided above at the contract unit price.

Part -5 EARTHWORKS AND EMBANKMENT CONSTRUCTION

5.1 Dam Embankments
The dam embankments shall consist of compacted clay core, granular shell and rock fill. The
various filters and drains, shall also be included. The upstream slope of the Dam shall have riprap
protection.
The embankment shall be constructed to conform at the end of the Defects Liability Period to the
finished levels shown on the Drawings.
The Contractor shall provide and maintain proper profile rails showing the position and inclination
of the various slopes.
Notwithstanding this condition, lengths of the dam embankment may be constructed at different
times, with the requirement that the temporary transverse slope (in a direction parallel to the dam
axis) of the placed fill (to include core and shoulder zones) does not exceed 1:4 (vertical :
horizontal). When the fill placing is recommenced against this slope, it shall be first cut back to
well compacted material, without shrinkage cracks and with the correct moisture, for the core
material. The new fill shall be thoroughly keyed onto this slope by supplementary compaction in
an upstream-downstream direction, where each new layer meets the slope.
The new fill layers will connect to the existing fill by cutting in the existing slope “steps”
(horizontal) of 3 core layers depth on which the end of the new layer shall be compacted. The
“steps” shall be cut one at a time.
The difference in elevation at the boundaries between adjacent material zones shall not exceed 0.5m.
All material for the riprap protection, the rock fill, shell, clay core and the various
filters/transitions/ and drains shall be obtained from sources approved by the Engineer. Potential
Borrow Areas, Potential quarry locations which have been investigated within and outside of the
reservoir area, may be utilised by the Contractor for rock, shell and core material, as long as the
requirements of this Specification (with respect to these materials), are satisfied.
5.2 Dam Fills – Materials
This specification covers materials for permanent earthworks in the form of the Main
Embankments and backfill behind structures, as well as temporary earthworks such as the
cofferdam.
Although quarries and Borrow Areas should be opened to provide the fill materials required,
nevertheless it is anticipated that substantial proportions of material obtained from excavations

will be suitable for use as fill in the dam. All reasonable measures shall be taken to maximize use
of excavated material in the permanent works.
Materials shall not be transported to the Site until all tests, analyses and final inspections have
been made and certified copies of reports of tests and analyses or manufacturer's warranties have
been submitted to the Engineer. The tests specified in the standard Specification shall be carried
out by the manufacturers of the materials or by an approved testing laboratory and three certified
copies of test reports shall be supplied.
5.2.1 Impervious Fill
Material for impervious fill shall be core material or alluvium from the borrow pits or dam
excavation with at least 35% of the material by weight finer than 0.075 mm (No. 200 BS

than required, it shall be exposed to the air, scarified and ploughed in order to reduce the
moisture content uniformly prior to excavation.
If, before excavation operations at any location in the borrow pits, the moisture is lower than the
target moisture, additional wetting shall be introduced into the borrow pits by irrigation,
at least 3 Days in advance of excavation operations. Care shall be exercised to moisten the
material uniformly prior to excavation, avoiding both excessive run-off and accumulation of
water in depressions.

5.2.2 Filter and Drainage Materials
5.2.2.1 Shell Material
The upstream shell affords stability against end of construction, rapid drawdown, earthquake,
and other loading conditions. The downstream shell acts as a drain that controls the line of
seepage and provides stability under high reservoir levels and during earthquakes. For the most
effective control of through seepage and seepage during reservoir drawdown, the
permeability should increase progressively from the core out toward each slope.
Shell materials shall be reasonably free of deleterious Substances like lumps of clay, organic
matter, and other substances not defined which may possess undesirable characteristics. The
material shall not contain silica sand in sufficient quantity to prevent bonding.

filter sources seemed to have much fine content and hence it will need processing during
implementation such as washing the silt. Alternatively, sand for either filter or concrete works can
be obtained by crushing. Therefore, the contractor should confirm the suitability of the proposed
sources for the mentioned purpose and should proceed if any only if gets approval from the
engineer. If this is not possible alternatives should be presented to the engineer for his approval.
The water absorption (ASTM C128) shall not exceed 4%, the percentage wear in the Los Angeles
abrasion test (ASM C131) shall not exceed 35% and when subjected to the sodium soundness test

5.2.2.3 Riprap/Stone Material
Riprap is an assemblage of rocks “nested” together to protect a structure or area

from the action of water. The rock lumps forming the riprap protection to the dam shall be graded
by weight in accordance with the requirements given in Table below.
The rock lumps shall be dense, sound, angular and resistant to abrasion and the river water
composition and shall be free from cracks, seams, weathering and other defects that would
tend to increase unduly their destruction by water. Water rounded boulders shall not be used.

The Contractor shall take all measures necessary to ensure the safety of personnel working at the
toe of external embankment slopes, including catch fences and such other measures as are
considered necessary by the Engineer. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Contractor shall remain
solely responsible for the safety of the Works and all personnel.
5.2.6 Trial Fills
Before placing any fill in the permanent Works the Contractor shall construct a trial fill, for the
construction of the dam embankment, using the plant and materials he proposes to use for the
permanent works. The purpose of this trial fill is to determine working practices necessary to
achieve the required in-situ density and moisture content and to demonstrate that the Contractor's

working methods and equipment are satisfactory. The trial fill shall be constructed in a location to
be agreed with the Engineer.
If there is a change in the nature of the fill material, the Engineer may direct that additional
laboratory tests and/or trial fill are required to assess whether any change in working practice is
required. The Engineer shall decide which additional laboratory tests are required and the
Contractor shall comply and submit the test results for the Engineer’s approval of the said material.
If the Engineers rejects the material shall not be used by the Contractor for the dam construction.
The trial fill shall be so located as to allow a clear run of at least 50 m for the fill and the compaction
equipment and shall contain not less than 2000 m3 of each of the following:
a. Compacted shoulder fills

b. Filter and Drainage fills
The Contractor shall use the same equipment and techniques to construct the trial fill as that
which he proposes to use to construct the main embankment. In coordination with the Engineer
the Contractor shall determine on the trial fill the layer thickness, loading of the rollers and the
number of roller passes required to achieve the specified degree of compaction.
In demonstrating his working methods the Contractor shall cover the following items:

The fill placed in the trial fill shall cover the full range of moisture contents permitted.
In addition to in-situ density moisture content and laboratory compaction tests to demonstrate
conformity to the specified degree of compaction, the Contractor shall carry out other testing and
investigations as agreed with the Engineer, to provide an independent check on the density
achieved. This shall include:

▪ Levelling the surface of each layer in a 1.5m grid between each pass of the roller
to determine the relationship between settlement and number of passes.
▪ Particle size distribution tests.
▪ Trial trench to examine segregation within layers and degree of interlocking
between layers.
Before commencing the trial fill the Contractor shall submit in writing his proposals for carrying
out the trials for the approval of the Engineer. On completion of the trial fill the Contractor shall
submit a report on the trials to the Engineer.
No fill shall be placed as part of the permanent works until the trial fill relevant to that section of
work has been completed, and the approval of the Engineer.
If the fill material changes: textures/color/gradation/characteristics etc., It shall not be placed as

part of any dam unless the Contractor proves with lab. Results and trial fills, the show that said
material to be suitable for the zone in which it is supposed to serve as fill and answer the
specification demands, fully, satisfying the Engineer and after his approval in writing.
5.2.7 Equipment
5.2.7.1 Vibratory Rollers
Vibratory rollers shall have a total static weight of not less than 15 ton with at least 90 percent of
the weight transmitted to the ground through a single smooth drum for granular material and pad
foot (7” high) roller for core material, when the roller is standing in a level position. The diameter
of the drum shall be larger than 1.5 m. The frequency of vibration during operations shall not be
greater than 25 Hertz, for core and 32 Hertz for filter and drainage materials and at those
frequencies; the dynamic force shall be not less than 18,000 kg. The roller shall be operated at
speeds not to exceed 3km per hour. The character and efficiency of this equipment shall be subject
to the approval of the Engineer. The same weight, static/dynamic forces, velocity, etc., are required
of self-propelled vibratory compactors.
5.2.7.2 Power Tampers
Compaction of material, in areas where it is impracticable to use a heavy roller or tractor, shall be
performed by the use of approved power tampers or vibratory rollers of smaller size, which will
give the Target Density at the correct moisture.

5.2.7.3 Impervious Fill
Earth fill shall be placed and compacted in continuous layers which are approximately horizontal
and not more than 150 mm compacted thickness, or as directed by the Engineer. Vibratory roller
or similar with the recommended type of drums approved, shall be used.
Before placing any layer, the surface of the underlying layer shall be moistened and/or worked
with a scarifier or other suitable equipment if in the opinion of the Engineer such moistening or
working is necessary to ensure that there is a satisfactory bond between the two layers.
Furthermore, before placing a new layer, any material in underlying layers shall be removed or
re-worked to the satisfaction of the Engineer if in his opinion:
▪ It has been compacted outside the limits of moisture content specified herein, or
▪ It has received less compaction than specified herein, or
▪ It has been cracked by drying, softened by wetting, or damaged by any other cause.
At the time of compaction in the embankment, each portion of the fill shall have moisture
content within the range "Proctor Optimum Moisture Content" (OMC) to OMC + 2%, or within
such other range related to the Proctor Optimum as the Engineer may determine.
If it is necessary to add water, this shall be done well in advance of placing by spraying at the
borrow pits. Supplementary water may be added on the embankment, but only from tankers
producing a uniform spray controlled from the cab. Water tankers with leaky valves or fittings
will not be permitted on the embankment. If it is necessary to dry the material all necessary
work such as ripping, aeration with rotary cultivators, harrowing, etc. shall be carried out before
transporting the material to the embankment.
The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that the moisture content of each portion of fill
is uniform and within the specified limits at the time of compaction and shall use such plant as
may be necessary to achieve this.
Any material which has been placed in the embankment and prepared for compaction at
moisture content outside the limits specified and any material being compacted, which has been
damaged by drying or wetting or any other cause, shall be removed or re-worked to the
satisfaction of the Engineer.
Holes formed in the embankment by the removal of samples for tests shall be filled tamped and
consolidated in homogeneity with the surrounding fill.
The routes taken on the embankment by vehicles and mechanical plant shall be varied to avoid
tracking and local over compaction.

Impervious fill shall be compacted in such a manner that the average percentage compaction of
the fill at any time defined as the ratio Filed Dry Density to Laboratory Maximum Dry Density
shall be not less than 98%.
Material which has been compacted to a dry density less than that required by this Specification
or at moisture content outside the specified range shall be removed or re-worked and re-
compacted until the required properties are achieved. In this case the field dry densities recorded
before removal or re-compaction of the material shall be omitted from the calculations of mean
percentage compaction and standard deviation.
5.2.7.4 Filter and Drainage Material
Filter materials associated with the concrete face are to be placed next to slopes of up to 1
vertical to 0.3 horizontal. The Contractor shall form and compact the inner slopes to form a
neat, uniform and workmanlike appearance.
Great care shall be taken to avoid segregation, and where this occurs the coarse material shall be
removed and replaced by material of the specified grading.
The filter, granular shell and drainage layers shall be placed in approximately horizontal layers
not exceeding 200mm compacted thickness.
Each layer shall be thoroughly compacted by means of a vibrating compaction machine (static
weight between 15 and 25 kg/cm of drum) to achieve a minimum field dry density of 93% of
maximum index density.
In order not to “Contaminate” the filter material by impervious core material or coarser
transition zone material, the Filters will always be placed 1 layer above the adjacent fills of core
material on one side and coarser filter/transition zone on the other side.
In the horizontal “Drainage Carpet”, the layers being horizontal, the above procedure doesn’t
apply.
5.2.7.5 Rock fill
The material to be compacted shall be off-loaded on the previously finished compacted and
approved layer, as continuation of the Present Rock fill layer be spread, pushed and levelled by
means of bulldozers or other suitable equipment over the face in such a manner that the fine
material is well mixed with the rock. Hauling, spreading and compacting equipment shall be
routed uniformly over the full width of the layer to be compacted. After the material has been
dumped on the fill, oversize material be bladed off the fill and disposed of so that layer thickness
need not be dictated by the presence of isolated large rocks.

The Engineer may direct that additional action be taken and the Contractor will abide.
Unless otherwise indicated on the Drawings, rock fill shall be compacted in continuous layers
which are approximately horizontal and not more than the thickness given in Table below or as
determined from the trial fill. Each layer shall be compacted by vibrating rollers. The compacted
surface shall have a uniform appearance; concentrations of large stones shall be removed and
replaced by finer materials.
Water shall be sprayed/flushed on the rock fill in a volume of 15% *** of the rock fill volume;
the spray being distributed uniformly over the layer.
Water shall be added as necessary to the other rock fill zones to maximize the density that is being
achieved. This will be determined from the trial fill, although subject to amendment as directed
by the Engineer.

If the results show the need for a bigger/different type of compactor/roller the Contractor shall present the
new substitute compactor/roller characteristics for approval only after trial fill results show the substitute to
be adequate to his satisfaction shall the Engineer approve it in writing.
5.2.8 Backfill to Structures
Backfill shall be placed in layers not more than 200mm thick and lightly tamped if the material is
crushed rock, or compacted to a density of not less than 95% of Standard Proctor optimum density
if the material is earth fill.
Within 1 meter of concrete structures the method of compaction shall be such as to avoid damage
to the structure. Compaction shall be by means of compressed air tampers rather than heavy rollers,
and the layer thickness shall be adjusted accordingly to achieve the required density of the
material.
5.2.8.1 Fill Sampling
The Contractor shall take samples as directed by the Engineer to enable the following tests to be
carried out:
a. Field bulk density and moisture content

b. Laboratory compaction
c. Particle size distribution
d. Plastic and liquid limits
The minimum rate of sampling and testing shall be as shown in Table below
The actual frequency of sampling may be greater than this and shall be determined from the results
of previous tests, the quality of the material revealed during such tests and the uniformity of such
quality. The frequency may be amended as required by the Engineer.
In the event that individual compaction tests on samples of fill material result in widely ranging
values for Proctor Optimum moisture content and Proctor Maximum dry density, and maximum
index density the Engineer may require that during the construction of the trial embankments and
from time to time during the construction of the actual embankments, laboratory Proctor
compaction and maximum index density tests shall be carried out at the same frequency as field
density tests on material taken from the fill adjacent to the location of the filed density test.
Should the fill placed, in the opinion of the Engineer, be likely not to comply with the
Specification, the Contractor shall, if directed by the Engineer, Carry out additional tests.

Test".
5.2.9.3 Tolerances
Earthworks shall be constructed within the following tolerances:
Vertical elevations - 0mm/ + 100mm

Horizontal dimensions - 250mm/ + 250mm
5.3 Borrow Areas and Quarries
The Contractor will excavate provisional Test Pits in each Borrow Area as directed by the
Engineer to verify the amount of the available material in placement and depth, approved by the
Engineer.
Each Test Pit shall be logged for its material layers. An accurate map of each Borrow Area or
Quarry shall be submitted to the Engineer’s Representative for approval.
The map shall be to scale and include for each Test Pit: the logs, including material description,
layers thickness, depth of Test Pit and any other data demanded by the Engineer.
All Alluvium, Rock fill and core materials for the dams shall be obtained from the borrow areas
(BA), spillway excavation and quarries (Q) shown on the Drawings. The BA & Q for material for
the core zone and embankment shoulders should have been proved to contain adequate quantities
for construction of the Works, by the additional test pits the Contractor has excavated, within the
areas expropriated by the Employer.
The location and extent of additional borrow pits within borrow areas shall be as agreed with the
Engineer.
In operating the borrow areas and Quarries the Contractor shall take due note of the variable
moisture conditions which occur throughout the year. The Contractor should note that there will
be a seasonal variation in groundwater levels and a consequent variation in the natural moisture
content depending on the extent and intensity of the rainfall in the wet season (normally July to
September). This variation will extend into the dry season and the Contractor should take
appropriate measures for either “drying out” or “wetting up” the fill material as appropriate.
Borrow and Quarry areas shall be operated such that slopes are free draining, with the provision
of temporary drainage ditches as required.
The Contractor should stockpile separately Construction material of each type to be used for the
works in enough quantity to ensure the continuation of the works without interruption.
Each type of construction material shall be stockpiled in separate storing area approved by the
Engineer and kept from mixing with other type Construction materials, by methods approved by
the Engineer.
Final excavated surfaces of borrow pits shall be graded to slopes not steeper than 1: 1.5 for Borrow
Pits and 1:0.5 (vertical : horizontal) for Quarries. They shall be operated so as not to impair the
usefulness or mar the appearance of any part of the Works or any other property of the Employer.

The surfaces of heaps of rejected materials shall be trimmed and left in a reasonably smooth,
drained, and even condition. Where final slopes of borrow pits extend above full supply level,
these shall be hydro seeded.
Other than as shown on the drawings as part of the construction of the Works, no excavation for
fill material shall be permitted within 100 m of the upstream toes of the different dams
embankments.
In any case a blanket of at least 1m thick impermeable material shall be left at the bottom of the
Borrow Areas, to ensure minimum seepage.
5.4 Permitted Deviations
Except as limited by minimum thickness of thin zones the deviations from the defined boundary
between the various zones shall not exceed the tolerances given in Table below.

5.5 Compaction Trials
Prior to placing any embankment material in the Works the Contractor shall construct trial
embankments using the earth fill materials for core zone, cofferdam material and the embankments
shoulder excavated from the proposed borrow/ quarry areas.
In constructing the trial embankment, the same Equipment and technique shall be used by the
Contractor as that which he proposes to use in constructing the embankment properly. In
collaboration with the Engineer the Contractor shall determine the number of roller passes and the

loading of the rollers required to achieve the degrees of compaction specified for the embankments
shoulder zones and the core zone.
Self-propelled towed rollers shall be pulled by tractors which are adequately powered to work
satisfactorily when the rollers are fully loaded, including working on slopes.
5.6 Preparation of Foundations and Abutments in Rock
Where material for the earth fill core is to be placed against rock foundations or abutments the
rock shall be excavated to the lines and dimensions indicated on the drawings. The rock shall be
so shaped as to form a smooth and regular surface to the satisfaction of the Engineer so that the
core can be properly compacted against it. All cavities, fissures, and areas where a smooth surface
cannot be achieved shall be treated with concrete.
Before placing the earth fill core material against the rock foundation all obvious cracks in the
rock shall be cleaned out and cement slurry in the proportions of:
1 Part Cement: 2 Parts Water shall be spread over the contact zone and in the cracks.
5.7 Excavation of Cut off Trench at Dam
The cut off trench at the Dam will be founded, as indicated on the Drawings or as directed by the
Engineer.
Where the cut off trench is founded on rock, the sequence of excavation shall be:
a) Excavate down to rock level.

b) Excavate moderately weathered or partially weathered rock to depths directed by
the Engineer, by the use of hydraulic breakers, jack hammers or other such
equipment for the excavation in rock (blasting of the rock will not be permitted).
c) Clean up of the exposed rock, including picking and barring of loose rock.
d) Place cement slurry over the exposed rock surface, at locations as directed by the
Engineer to the requirements specified.
5.8 Construction of Clay Core
Materials approved for inclusion in the core of the embankment shall be compacted in layers not
exceeding 0.2m before compaction and in such a manner that field densities as measured in-situ
using Test Nr 15(B) of BS 1377 achieve a compaction of not less than 98% when compared with
the maximum dry density arrived at by means of Test Nr 12 of BS 1377 (standard proctor - 2.5 kg
hammer method). The moisture content of the material shall be controlled preferably at the borrow
area as specified in Clause 5.9, to give uniformly distributed in-situ moisture content after

compaction, as a percentage of the optimum moisture content determined by Test Nr 12 of BS

1377 (2.5 kg rammer method) as defined in Table hereunder.
Percentage of Optimum Moisture Content

Location Percentage of Optimum Moisture Content (OMC)
Core Zone Between OMC and 2% wet of OMC
Where compacted material does not meet the requirements specified above, it shall be removed
or re-worked as indicated by the Engineer. If for any reason the surface of the earth fill material
becomes so smooth or dry that, in the opinion of the Engineer, it cannot be properly bonded with
the succeeding layer, then the Contractor shall remove the surface layer and scarify or water the
newly exposed surface, or both, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, before recommencing filling
operations.
If smooth rollers are employed, the surface of the clay shall be scarified and target moisture kept,
before a further layer is placed on top.
Where the material is placed against the sides of the core trench, steep rock faces or the spillway
walls, it may be necessary to use hand held compacting equipment to achieve the required degree
of compaction.
The surface of the core shall be sealed by rolling with a smooth roller or other approved means
and an adequate cross-fall provided during or before rainfall in order to facilitate surface
drainage and prevent the ingress of water into the core material.
5.9 Construction of Riprap Protection
Approved material for inclusion in the riprap protection shall be transported without intermediate
handling direct to the point of final use, where it shall be dumped and graded off in a manner to
ensure that the larger rock fragments are uniformly distributed and the smaller rock fragments fill
the spaces between the larger rock fragments to form compact uniform layers of riprap of the
specified thicknesses as shown on the Drawings. Hand placing will be required only to the extent
necessary to secure the results specified above.
5.10 Construction of Internal Drainage Layers and Filters
The drainage layers, and filters in the dam embankment shall be constructed of material complying
with the requirements.
As the drainage layers or filters are steeply inclined 1:0.4 (vertical: horizontal), they shall be
brought up in 0.30 m horizontal layers, and compacted by approved vibratory equipment to achieve
the specified density. As specified formerly, the filter and drainage layers shall be at all times at
least 1-2 layers higher than the core material and rock fill. This will prevent the introduction of

other material into the filter/drainage material. The filter fill will always be 1 layer higher than the
drainage layer. This will not apply for the horizontal “Carpet Drain”.
Where the material is to form filter/drainage layers which are horizontal it may, subject to the
approval of Engineer, be placed in layers not exceeding 0.30 m in thickness after compaction.
During or immediately prior to compaction, the material shall be thoroughly wetted. The outer and
inner boundaries of each layer shall be true to the lines, dimensions, elevations shown on the
Drawings.
It is of the utmost importance to ensure that the drainage layers and filters are not contaminated by
other fill materials and the Contractor shall ensure that constructional traffic does not cross such
sections of the embankment or otherwise contaminate the drainage or filter material. If, the
Contractor finds out that, or in the Engineer’s opinion, contamination does take place, the
contaminated material shall be removed from the Works and the Contractor shall have no claim
for payment for such material so removed.
The Density Index (ID) of the compacted material shall not be less than 70% as determined by
Test Method Nr 4 of BS 1377: Part 4: 1990.
5.11 Control of Moisture Content
Moisture content of the embankment material shall be controlled as far as practicable at the borrow
pits as defined to give uniformly distributed in situ moisture contents after compaction within the
limits given for the various materials. Supplementary water, if required, may be added to the
material by sprinkling on the embankment and shall be mixed uniformly throughout the layer
before compaction.
Measurement and Payment
The rates tendered shall include full compensation for the excavation, hauling, spreading,
showering and compaction of surfaces
Payment will be made for the number of compacted cubic meters measured as provided above at
the contract unit price per cubic meter for shell material
Collectively the rates shall also include full compensation for all other incidentals necessary for
completing the work as specified.

5.12 Test on Embanking Material
Whilst embanking is in progress periodic site tests will be made by the Engineer in the borrow
pit and on the material, to ascertain the grading, moisture content, index properties, compaction
characteristics and other such properties of the embanking material.
Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer field control tests of the core and shoulder materials
will be made for every layer, or approximately every 400 m³ of material placed to ascertain the
density and moisture content of the fill, to ensure adequate compaction.
Tests will be made by the Engineer’s Representative on the filter, drainage and bedding material
for approximately every 200 m³ placed on the embankment.
All tests will be made in accordance with the various parts of BS 1377: 1990 where applicable or
in accordance with other recognized standards, as specified.
In all cases the tests will be performed at the laboratory provided in accordance with under the
supervision of the Engineer but the Contractor shall deliver samples to the laboratory as required
by the Engineer.
The performance of the tests specified in no way relieves the Contractor of his responsibility to
ensure by similar test or any other means that the embanking materials are placed in accordance
with the requirements of this Specification.
Laboratory Testing Equipment

5.13 Settlement Allowance
In the setting out and construction of the embankment an allowance shall be made for post-
construction settlement. The nominal crest level shall be raised by the amount shown on the
embankment camber diagram by steepening the slopes of the embankments.
Dam Surfacing and Finishing works

When the embankment has been constructed, and all major outlets and drains installed, the dam can
then be finished off. It is quite important that the training banks along the spillway sides are well
established with grass cover and protected with other erosion prevention measures before the spillway
is to be used. Rains on an unprotected embankment and water flow through an incomplete spillway
can, at the least, cause minor rills and gullies and, at worst, destroy the structure altogether. Therefore,
when most of the heavy earthmoving and other work has been done, it is vitally important not to
neglect the minor finishing touches that, if delayed, can negate much or all of the work already
performed.
Inspection Requirements
At the time of siting the dam it should have been made clear to the local community/dam owner that
to maintain the dam in good condition and to prolong its life as a sound, useful water resource,
competent and timely inspection and maintenance are going to be required.
Training Banks
Training banks are required along one or both sides of the spillway to keep floodwater away from the
downstream toe and shoulder of the embankment and within the channel. Training banks are often
constructed without a core, but often will use the same slopes as the main embankment. However, the
design can vary according to site conditions and crest widths and heights can be reduced as required.
In construction, care should be taken to avoid traversing the spillway and no earth should be removed
from the channel bed for this bank unless cut is required to form the spillway.
Concrete or stone pitching at the end of the main embankment and along the inner sides of the training
banks may be advisable.
Other Works
In finishing the main embankment, the crest should be given a slight downward slope towards the
reservoir so as to encourage runoff towards the reservoir and the less erodible upstream section of the
embankment. The accumulation of water on and in the downstream shoulder must be avoided.

shown on the
Drawings.
Formwork shall consist of purpose-made or proprietary timber; metal or plastic boarding;
or sheeting;
adequate to support the forces during construction of the concrete structure without
excessive deflection.
Construction Requirements
Formwork shall be so designed as to be sufficiently rigid to ensure that the specified

dimensional tolerances can be achieved under the combined action of self-weight, dead load
and imposed loads as well as the additional loads resulting from the rate of concreting, the
layer thickness of the concrete cast in one operation and the method of placing and compaction.
Before the concrete is placed, all dirt and foreign matter shall be removed from the
forms and the forms shall be thoroughly wetted with water.
Removal of forms and false work

Falsework and formwork shall not be removed before the concrete has attained sufficient
strength to support its own mass and any loads, which may be imposed on it. This condition
shall be assumed to require the formwork to remain in place after the concrete has
been placed, for the appropriate minimum period of time given in Table 8204/1.
Forms that do not support the dead load of concrete members and forms for railings and
barriers may be removed 24 hours after the concrete is placed.
Falsework and formwork shall be carefully removed without exposing the cast concrete
to damage, disturbance or shock.
Weather may be regarded as being "normal" when atmospheric temperatures
adjacent to the concrete, as measured by a maximum-and-minimum thermometer, do
not fall below 15°C, and as "cold" when temperatures, similarly measured, fall below
5°C. When the minimum temperatures fall between these values, the length of the period
after which the formwork may be removed shall be determined by interpolation between
the periods specified for normal and cold weather.
Any period during which the temperature remains below 2°C shall be disregarded in
calculating the minimum time which shall elapse before the forms are removed.

(b) Repairs to surface defects

Surface defects such as small areas of honeycombing, cavities produced by form ties, large
isolated blow-holes, broken corner edges, etc. shall be repaired with mortar having a
cement and sand ratio equal to that of the concrete being repaired.
For the repair of large or deep areas of honey combing and defects, special approved
methods and techniques, such as pneumatically applied mortar, pressure grouting and
epoxy bonding agents may be used on approval of the Engineer.
Where, in the opinion of the Engineer, the extent of the honeycombing or defects is of
such a degree that doubt exists about the effectiveness of repair work, the Contractor shall,
at his own cost, perform a load test to prove that the structural safety of the repaired
member has not been prejudiced, failing which, the structure shall be rebuilt in part or in
full at the Contractor's cost.
Where the concrete has been damaged by adhesion to the formwork panel, the cracked and
loose concrete shall be removed; or where the fresh concrete has lifted off at construction
joints, the crack shall be scraped out immediately on both sides of the wall to a depth of
at least 50 mm. The cavities so formed shall then be repaired as described herein.
(c) Rubbing the surfaces

If the finish of exposed formed surfaces does not comply with the requirements for
uniformity of texture, appearance and colour, the Contractor shall, when so instructed by
the Engineer, rub down the exposed surfaces of the entire structure or of any part of it as
specified herein.
The surface shall be saturated with water for at least one (1) hour. Initial rubbing shall be done
with a medium-coarse carborundum stone, where a small amount of mortar, having a sand
to cement ratio equal to that of the concrete being repaired, is used on the surface. Rubbing
shall be continued until all form marks, projections and irregularities have been removed
and a uniform surface has been obtained. The paste produced by the rubbing shall be left
in place. The final rubbing shall be carried out with a fine carborundum stone and water. This
rubbing shall continue until the entire surface is of a smooth, even texture and is uniform in
colour. The surface shall then be washed with a brush to remove surplus paste and powder.
Where the concrete surfaces formed by sliding formwork require treatment to achieve the
surface finish specified for the member, the concrete shall, as soon as the surfaces under the
formwork are exposed, be floated with rubber-lined floats to the desired finish.
Measurement and Payment

The unit of measurement shall be the square metre, and only the actual area of formwork
in contact with the finished face of the concrete shall be measured. Formwork for the
different classes of finish shall be measured separately.
The tendered rates shall include full compensation for procuring and furnishing all
materials required; erecting the falsework and formwork; constructing the forms; forming
the grooves, fillets, chamfers and stop-ends for construction joints; treating and preparing
