DETAILED SPECIFICATION OF WORKS
1. Techniques
1.1. The Contractor shall arrange for the supply, storage and delivery to the Lift Site of the Materials.
1.2. It is the responsibility of the Contractors to ensure they have the required Equipment to complete the Works (including but not limited to ropes etc). The Contractor must be capable of getting the Equipment required to the Lift Site.
1.3. Annexure 4 of the Invitation to Tender details the Location Maps for the Works. Location Map 01 shows an overview of the Sites.
1.4. For the avoidance of doubt the Contract shall only relate to Works confirmed by the Authority by way of a Purchase Order Form.
1.5. There is to be no flying over any reservoir with an underslung load.
1.6. At any given Works Site, the Lime must be applied first. Seed will then be applied (this is the subject of a separate Contract). The NPK Fertiliser (Initial or Maintenance) must be applied two weeks after the seed has been applied, and no sooner than four weeks after the application of Lime. Target Completion Dates for Lime and Fertiliser are given for each Site in Section 1 of the Invitation to Tender.
2. Materials
2.1. Granulated Lime Fertiliser
The application rate is 1000 kg per Ha for all Works Sites. The application rate is the same for both the initial and follow-up treatments. Maps showing the locations of each Lift Site relative to the Works Sites receiving treatment are shown in Location Maps 1 through 9 in Annexure 4 of the Invitation to Tender.
2.2. N:P:K Fertiliser
There are two separate N:P:K Fertiliser constituencies; one for the initial application and one for the maintenance application. These must be clearly marked and should be kept separate. The application rates are required to achieve an application ratio of :
2.2.1. 40kg N:120kg P2O5:60kg K2O per Ha for the initial treatment (using Initial Fertiliser); and
2.2.2. 40kg N: 60kg P2O5:60kg K2O per Ha for the maintenance treatment(s) (using Maintenance Fertiliser).
Maps showing the locations of each Lift Site relative to the Works Sites receiving treatment are shown in Location Maps 1 through 11 of the Invitation to Tender.
3. Sites
3.1. Lift Sites (arranged from south to north)
The following Lift Sites shall be used for the Works. Note that the areas in which the Materials are to be applied (the Works Sites) may be served by more than one Lift Site, or a single Lift Site may serve multiple Works Sites. See Section 1 of the Invitation to Tender and the Location Maps in Annexure 4 of the Invitation to Tender for clarification. The Nominated Officer may impose conditions on any Lift Site.
On some Lift Sites it is permissible to store Materials. This is indicated in the individual description for each Lift Site as given below (3.2.1 to 3.2.8 of the Invitation to Tender).

- LIMITED STORAGE means that the Contractor should aim to have at the Lift Site only enough Materials to complete the day's work, but if the Works have to be stopped unexpectedly then the Contractor may, at their own risk, keep the rest of that day's Materials on site. However the Contractor may not stockpile Materials for several days' work. The Contractor must take reasonable precautions to protect the Materials from damage or loss.
- STORAGE PERMITTED means that the Contractor may, at their own risk, stockpile several days' worth of Materials at the Lift Site. The Contractor must take reasonable precautions to protect the Materials from damage or loss.
