Dear Sir
To
Kurunegala (Ch.78+000)
Though responsibilities of Contractor, Engineer/ Employer are clearly defined in the contra~t Documents, there
seems to be some confusion in interpretation that causes hindrance to the project serio sly. It is prudent to
review the responsibility of each Party on all design tasks as envisaged in Specifications nd CoC in order to
~a~d~~ordel~ I
1. Design of Structures: There is general agreement that all structures shall be deSigner by the Contractor
in terms of section 120.1 of the Specifications. Sections 120.2, 120.3, 120.4, 120.5 ~nd 120.6 explain in
detail the responsibility of the contractor on all aspects of the designs and approvals'l
2. Design of Embankment Slopes: The section 120.1 of the Specifications attributes e responsibility to
the Contractor on this task. The stability of slope and the settlement of emban ment are the I:ey
parameters to be checked after designing the width and height to suit the horizonta / vertical profile of
the Expressway issued by RDA. The key technical staff list of contractor includes a Ge technical Engin(!er
(Ref: Volume-2 of Bidding documents - Section 02 - Bidding Data - Sub clause 42(e)) who shall be
competent in carrying out this slope stability check.
