Technical Support in the Tender and Contract Stage

Technical Support Related to Common Specifications

The Central Council of Construction Business gave its recommendations on the construction contract standard provisions for public works in June 1995. It includes such new items as the responsibility of the contractor, necessity of documentation, clarity of expression and procedure, and introduction of a new performance security system.
Based on this, the common specifications for public works was greatly revised. However, we continue to provide support in improvements that match the needs of the changing world.

Study and Research on the Tender and Contract Systems

Since the proposal by the Central Council of Construction Business in February 1998, an evaluation has been made for the adoption of a tendering and contact system introducing the Value Engineering (VE) method, design-and-build contracting method, technical - proposal type overall evaluation method, and using private sector technologies, such as Project Management (PM) and Construction Management (CM) methods, and the test projects have been implemented. Furthermore, tenders and contracts for specific projects are being conducted experimentally based on the PFI (Private Financing Initiative) Promotion Law that was approved by the Parliament in July 1999. We have been continuously conducting study and research on such new tender and contract methods.

Technical Support on Cost Estimation Standards

The cost estimation standards for the port construction are widely used by clients, such as local construction offices nationwide and port authorities, and construction companies receiving the contract orders. SCOPE is examining this standard for the renting of ships and equipment, for quantities per unit work (production rate) of non-standardized construction and for standardized construction with provisional quantities per unit work (production rate). We also provide support for the proper and efficient cost estimation through timely revision and planning of cost estimation standards for airport construction.
