This document provides the 2012 Standard Specifications for road, bridge, and municipal construction projects in Washington State. It contains 9 divisions that cover general requirements, earthwork, aggregates, bases, surfaces, structures, drainage, miscellaneous construction, and materials. The specifications are developed by WSDOT and the AGC to provide contractual guidelines for transportation projects. They reflect years of refinement and aim to balance risks between contractors and the agency. The specifications become the legal agreement once incorporated into a construction contract.
This note considers whether a contract term can exclude all liability for latent defects and limit liability to defect repair or replacement. The clause is based on clause 36.9 from MF/1, the Model Form of conditions for electrical, electronic and mechanical plant from IMechE/IET.
The relevant cases are British Fermentation Products v Compair Reavell [1999] 2 All ER (Comm) 389 and in BHP Petroleum v British Steel [2000]2 All ER (Comm) 133.
The note was prepared by Sarah fox, 500 Words Ltd. She has reviewed, adapted, advised and trained on the MF/1 form of contract.

The document discusses various types of defect exclusions commonly found in CAR/EAR insurance policies for offshore contractors. It describes the different LEG clauses - LEG1/96 contains an outright defects exclusion, LEG2/96 excludes costs to repair defects but covers consequential damage, and LEG3/96 covers damage from defects but excludes additional costs to improve the original design. It also discusses exclusions in WELCAR 2001 policies and differences between defining defects versus damage. The key points are that defect exclusions aim to balance coverage for damage from defects while excluding coverage to repair defects themselves, and interpretation depends on how parts and damage are defined.

Clause 4.2 Performance Security-Understanding Clauses in FIDIC ‘Conditions of...Divyanshu Dayal
The document discusses performance security under FIDIC conditions of contract. Performance security is usually 10% of the contract price and is valid until the contractor has completed the works and remedied any defects. The employer can claim under the performance security if the contractor fails to extend the validity period, fails to pay amounts owed, or fails to remedy a default. The performance security is returned once the contractor is entitled to the performance certificate.
This document summarizes changes between the 2000 and 2014 editions of the Joint Building Contracts Committee (JBCC) standard form construction contracts used in South Africa. Some key changes include streamlining and restructuring the contract from 40 to 30 clauses, expanding and clarifying contractor and employer duties, consolidating insurance provisions, reformulating security provisions, and increasing contractor liability for works risk while defining force majeure events. Specific changes are outlined for indemnities, setting out, subcontractors, and completion phases. The document provides an overview of the evolution of the JBCC standard forms and significant differences between editions.
This document discusses different types of variations that may occur under an FIDIC 1999 Redbook construction contract. It outlines engineer/employer-initiated variations such as additional works, omissions, and acceleration orders. It also discusses contractor-initiated variations and other categories like re-measured contracts and errors in design. The document examines how variations are valued and paid for and how they impact the time for completion and consequences under UAE civil code.
A bespoke approach to offshore energy exploration and production projects is vital.
Given the harsh environments, in deep waters with difficult climate conditions, in which offshore E&P projects are increasingly located, coupled with the employment of new and complex technologies, we are seeing ever increasing risks and costs for contractors. The changing regulatory environment, designed to address previous disasters, adds further cost burdens.
In this situation, it may be thought that standard contracts are a great way to save on costs, but it is essential that they be chosen correctly and amended appropriately. Recent judgments on contracts have been sobering, with parties often finding the contract leaves them liable for things they did not expect, and highlight the desirability for bespoke contractual agreements.
As well as poorly drafted contracts, another major factor causing problems with offshore E&P projects is insufficient risk allocation. This can, and often does, lead to a failure to deliver on time, cost overruns, and contractual disputes. These usually occur when risks are not identified, or the contract doesn’t clearly allocate identified risks to a particular party. It is vitally important that risks be identitifed and allocated at the outset.
Key issues to address properly include the scope of work, renumeration and performance criteria, compliance with regulatory requirements, and termination rights of the parties.
Typical mistakes include failure to identify, isolate, and allocate risk, unclear contract terms, poor choice of standard form wordings, or poorly amended standard forms. Failure to engage specialist advisors, which leads to a lack of due diligence in important areas such as tax, regulatory requirements, liability and indemnity issues, is another common error affecting offshore E&P projects.
In the presentation below, Clyde & Co Partner Sandra Sinclair-Hughes explains the importance of a bespoke approach to offshore projects, and how vital it is to ensure a strong, robust contract has been drafted, and a proper risk assessment and allocation has been carried out.

This strategic plan will specify the details relating to the acquisition of Piezoelectric Embedded Transducers (PET) to be utilized to provide enhanced surveillance capabilities for the new Wide Alignment Limited Loading (WALL) Geostructure Program. As referenced by Kim, Roberts & Brown (2016), United States federal policy and regulatory guidance encourage the use of fixed-price contracts in an effort to secure best value for purchasing groups; therefore, the form of contract that shall be utilized shall be a Fixed Price Economic Price Adjustment (FPEPA) contract to account for the uncertainties of future economic conditions that may cause fluctuations in the future costs of supplies and equipment that the contractor might be required to provide under contract and would not at this time be predictable. Contract Type
Pursuant to 41 USC 253 and 10 USC 2305, competition will be full and open and the contract shall be both severable and non-severable. For the procurement of 1,000 Piezoelectric Embedded Transducers, the contract shall be non-severable; however, any elements relating to their maintenance and non-developmental support and data to be reported shall be considered non-severable. Additionally, given the complexity and technical nature of this service, price alone is not sufficient to determine the award and therefore, the contract will be awarded based on a contracting by negotiation bidding process. Furthermore, it is assumed that the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acquisitions Division wishes to hold discussions regarding the contract to ensure that its needs are clearly communicated and met to its satisfaction. To allow ICE to have maximum flexibility in awarding the contract, the trade-off process shall also be initiated.
Planning Fundamentals
The subsequent planning fundamentals shall also be incorporated within this strategic plan as they are essential for the PET sourcing and future negotiations: (1) Contractor Performance Requirements, (2) Deliverables, and (3) Assumptions.
Contractor Performance Requirements and Deliverables
The contractor shall be responsible for providing substantial value to ICE in the form of required hardware to ensure the enhancement of the surveillance capability for the WALL program, software to certify the technical monitoring and successful operation of the hardware, and the non-developmental support and data which will be utilized to analyze the stabilization and sustainabili ...

03/10: Draft Core Toll Concessions P3 Model Contract Guideartba
This document provides initial comments from the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) in response to the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) draft guide on core toll concessions public-private partnerships. ARTBA advocates that the guide should be educational rather than prescriptive given P3s rely on market efficiencies. ARTBA also suggests discussing performance bonding requirements and toll collection/enforcement responsibilities and mechanisms in more detail given their complexity in P3 projects. ARTBA incorporates prior detailed comments submitted in 2013 and offers to engage further with FHWA to refine the guide.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of TPMS in Proper Tire Pressure MaintenanceTiroGage
NHTSA Report from November 2012 on the evaluation of the effectiveness of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) in Proper Tire Pressure Maintenance.
This report is an analysis of the data collected through the Tire Pressure Monitoring System‐Special Study as it pertains to the effectiveness of TPMS in promoting proper tire inflation. The study was conducted in 2011, using a nationally representative sampling structure, based on the primary sampling units (PSUs) of the National Automotive Sampling System. NASS personnel collected 6,103 complete vehicle observations including tire pressure of all four tires. This survey found that 23.1 percent of the MY 2004‐2007 vehicles without TPMS had at least one severely underinflated tire as defined by FMVSS No. 138 (25% or more below the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold tire pressure), but only 11.8 percent of the MY 2004‐ 2007 vehicles equipped with TPMS had a severely underinflated tire. Based on these results, the presence of TPMS on a vehicle of model years 2004 to 2007 is estimated to result in a 55.6‐percent reduction in the likelihood that the vehicle will have one or more severely underinflated tires as defined by FMVSS No. 138. It is also estimated to result in a 30.7‐percent reduction in the likelihood that the vehicle will have one or more tires that are overinflated by 25 percent or more above the manufacturer’s recommended cold tire pressure.
During the first eight years of operation TPMS is estimated to save a typical passenger car 9.32 gallons of fuel and a typical LTV 27.89 gallons of fuel. During 2011 TPMS is estimated to have saved $511 million across the vehicle fleet through reduced fuel consumption.
NHTSA plans to conduct further research to determine the effect of TPMS on the incidence of tire‐related crashes and injuries.
This document provides a contract management plan for a project. It outlines roles and responsibilities for managing contracts, tracking contracts, amending contracts, and closing out contracts. It references guidance documents and contract tracking databases to help manage the project contracts. The plan will be reviewed annually and updated as needed throughout the project lifecycle.
This document discusses road network development and management. It covers topics such as providing access through road networks, finding objective indicators to measure performance, improving existing road networks by reducing travel time delays, accidents, and vehicle operation costs. It also discusses generating income through road tolls and taxes to finance construction and maintenance costs. The main objectives for road authorities are to provide access, improve financial feasibility, expand networks to connect isolated areas, and reduce environmental impacts.

The document summarizes a report on contract administration and site management for a health centre extension project. It recommends using a JCT Intermediate Contract with Quantities due to its flexibility and simplicity compared to other standard forms. The contract administrator's role is described as both desk-based and requiring site presence to monitor progress and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. Statutory approvals from planning and building control authorities are necessary and the approval process involves submitting plans and allowing inspections. Risks associated with the site such as ground conditions and potential delays must be managed under the contract.
This document provides an overview of loads and load combinations for steel bridge design according to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. It describes the various components of permanent and transient loads, including gravitational dead loads, live loads, wind loads, and loads due to temperature changes. It also discusses load factors and limit states, and summarizes the different strength, service, fatigue, and extreme event load combinations specified in the AASHTO LRFD specifications.
Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey ...SirmaDuztepeliler
"Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey Toward Sustainability"
The booklet of my master’s thesis at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. (Gothenburg, Sweden)
This thesis explores the transformation of the vacated (2023) IKEA store in Kållered, Sweden, into a "Reuse Hub" addressing various user types. The project aims to create a model for circular and sustainable economic practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and a shift in societal overconsumption patterns.
Reuse, though crucial in the circular economy, is one of the least studied areas. Most materials with reuse potential, especially in the construction sector, are recycled (downcycled), causing a greater loss of resources and energy. My project addresses barriers to reuse, such as difficult access to materials, storage, and logistics issues.
Aims:
• Enhancing Access to Reclaimed Materials: Creating a hub for reclaimed construction materials for both institutional and individual needs.
• Promoting Circular Economy: Showcasing the potential and variety of reusable materials and how they can drive a circular economy.
• Fostering Community Engagement: Developing spaces for social interaction around reuse-focused stores and workshops.
• Raising Awareness: Transforming a former consumerist symbol into a center for circular practices.
Highlights:
• The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with producers and wholesalers to repurpose surplus materials before they enter the recycling phase.
• This project can serve as a prototype for reusing many idle commercial buildings in different scales and sizes.
• The findings indicate that transforming large vacant properties can support sustainable practices and present an economically attractive business model with high social returns at the same time.
• It highlights the potential of how sustainable practices in the construction sector can drive societal change.

5. Foreword
These Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction have been
developed to serve as a baseline for the work delivered to the public by the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The Standard Specifications are incorporated into
the written agreement (Contract) between WSDOT as Contracting Agency and the Contractor,
except where the Contract indicates that a particular specification has been amended or
replaced with a special provision to resolve project-specific issues. The decision to amend or
replace any standard specification with a special provision is made during the design process
and is based upon the sound engineering judgment of the project designer.
These Standard Specifications reflect years of refinement through the literally hundreds
of projects the Department delivers each year. In addition, the standards are the result of
countless hours of development and review by both our internal WSDOT staff as well
as our industry partners through the joint WSDOT/Associated General Contractors’
Standing Committees.
Finally, these standards reflect the contracting philosophy and balance of risk-allocation
that the Department has adopted through the years. We believe that this balance of risks
provides us the lowest final cost solution to our transportation needs. For example, shifting
risk to the Contractor can provide more certainty on final cost, but may result in higher initial
cost. On the other hand, accepting more risk by the owner can result in lower initial costs, but
less certainty on the final cost. We at the Department of Transportation believe that we have
reached the optimum point of balance for risk, and we will continue to consider this balance
on all future specification revisions.
The language above indicates that these specifications are to be used only as a guideline
during the design process, and that is true. Once they have been incorporated into a Contract,
however, they become the legal and enforceable language of that Contract. The Standard
Specifications, the Amendments to the Standards, and the Project Special Provisions, along
with any attachments in the Contract documents, define a Contract and are no longer seen as
guidelines. Rather, they are the written agreement, subject to revision only through the change
order process.
This preface is for informational purposes only and is not to be used to interpret or affect
the terms.
