2. An Individual Class Room Activity

Tasks 2.2, 3.2& 5.3 are carried out in the class room under the supervision of the Assessor

Assignment Scenario

Suppose you are working as an estimator of a contracting company,and you have received a set of

tender documents for tendering to a proposed multi story auditorium building and you are given

Client:- Urban Development Authority

Funding Agency: World Bank

Location: Nugegoda

Contract period:- 12 months

Condition of contract:- FIDIC

Type of Contract:- Fluctuating price contract

Interim payments: Monthly

It was a busy time for your tender department when you review the tender document because you

are already in the process of pricing few other projects with limited resources and the labour force

of the construction department of your company also limited. Resources in the mechanical

department are inadequate and many of the plants items are hired. However the management of

the company is more interesting to win this contract therefore you have decided to price the BOQ

Followings are some of your findings during the site visit

Proposed site is located in an urban area but isolated, surrounded by a lake and it is a

marshy land Access road is adequate but there is no existing bridge over the lake.

Land is a bare land and no any existing buildings.

Surround area is highly commercial area no any permanent residence

TENDER ESTIMATION

1.3 List the factors to be considered in pricing a tender and highlight the factors which effect the

above tender.(P2)

1.4 Evaluate critically in term of pricing and decide, the importance or value of findings of site visit

mentioned above. include precise and detailed information and assess possible alternatives,

bearing in mind their strengths and weaknesses if they were applied instead.( D1)

1.5 List the sources and nature of information for cost estimating (P3)

1.6 Designa reasonable tender time table for above project(M1)

Task 2 Prepare standard rates for labour, construction plant and materials

It is also estimators responsibility to establish all-in rates for labour, material and plants which

can be used during the pricing process.

2.1 List the factors to be considered when calculate all in rates for labour, plants andmaterial(P4)

2.2 Analyse the factors listed in 3.1 and explain how each one contributes to the topic(labour

cost, material cost and plant cost)(M2)

2.3 Establish all-in rates for labour (skilled labour), material (cement, ready mixed concrete,

structural timber) and plants (dumper). (P5, M1)

Task 2.3 will be completed as a classroom activity with the information to be

provided. The students are allowed to refer only the lecture notes issued by the

assessor and any relevant printed text books and not allowed to share any materials

during the activity period

Task 3 Build up unit rates for trade work itemsAssume that you have decided to calculate new unit rates for major work items as a part of pricing.

The following work items were selected to calculate the unit rates

Item Description Qty Unit Rate Amount

2.E.1 GR 20 (20) reinforced concrete in

columns 220 m

2.F. 2 150mm thick concrete block wall in

cement mortar 1:6 250 m

3.1 State the factors which effect the unit rates of each work item .(P6)

3.2 Analyse the unit rate for above work items.(P7, M1,M2,M3,D3)


provided.The students are allowed to refer only the lecture notes issued by the

assessor and any relevant printed text books and not allowed to share any materials

during the activity period

Task 4 Demonstrate ability to costing of preliminaries / overhead cost of the

Contractor

The items found in the preliminaries section of a bill of quantities are usually the most difficult and

arbitrary of all to price. The nature and the conditions of contact of every job are different and the

items encountered in the Preliminaries are therefore necessarily unique toeach particular project,and

whilst records from previously priced jobs will be useful and will assist in some measure in

estimating the cost of the current set of preliminaries.

4.1 Explain preliminaries and overhead costs in a Bill of quantities(P8)

4.2 Demonstratethemethods that can be used to calculate cost of preliminaries. Relevant

examples should identify from site visit detail given above(M2,M3)

4.3 Calculate the cost of above preliminary examples identified by you, with your own

assumptions (Assumptions must indicate clearly) (P9)

Task 5 Describe the procedure followed in preparation of a quotation

5.1 Design twosample Inquiry letters to subcontractor and supplier in order to collect theirquotations. (P10)

5.2 Describe the different form of discounts offered in the construction industry and explain how

you in corporate them in pricing (P11)

You have called for quotations from three different suppliersin order to purchase 150000 bricks

and suggested likely delivery programme as follows

50000 bricks to be delivered to site by 2nd May

Another 50000 to be delivered by 15th June

Another 50000 to be delivered by 15th July and total 150000 bricks.

Information abstracted from three quotations are as follows:
