FRAMEWORK TENDER / brief

Call-off brief

Renew 120 m of DN150 ductile iron water main along Brook Lane. The baseline trench is 1.4 m deep in ordinary ground. Keep customer supplies available and reinstate the road after testing.

Establish the composite main rate, calculate net and purchase quantities, then assess a deeper section with groundwater.

The pricing return must distinguish measured agreed work, proposed rates and unresolved items. Do not present a subtotal containing omissions as the complete call-off price.
