Instruction Test 3
3. The deal could be incorrect, or the client could be incorrect, but if better project
management was practiced, this could have been found sooner. A vendor may not
issue an order for a shift (although they may request one). The best alternative entails
updating the documents of specifications and meeting with the relevant member of
the team. If such a concern has occurred, in the WBS dictionary or in how the team
member performed the task, it could mean something went wrong.

4. Contract time on most contracts should be controlled by calendar days. Completion by

calendar date may be used if a fixed date has been set for the completion of the
project when appropriate. The completion date or calendar days specified is
calculated by the analysis of the work day that utilizes appropriate production rates
for the construction staging of the project. The engineer in on the wrong here to
refuse paying the liquidated damages he is due. Liquidated damages are not
sanctions but rather a compensation for delay, which occurred in this situation for 43
days longer than the agreed time. To prevent this dispute, it should be clarified that
the dues would be controlled by WORKING DAYS rather than CALENDAR DAYS
and have it on paper.

5. Having Ocular visits before the construction site as well as conducting studies on the
weather conditions and applying those data into the schedule which shall be printed
and signed by the owner would assure the safety of both workers and the reputation
of engineers and the firm since it can assure the schedule of construction to be
strictly observed with in-depth consideration for the reality of the situation in the
building process, rather than having a very idealistic approach on the project which
would be a platform for disappointment.

Instruction Test 3: Read carefully and answer each of the following questions. Write the
correct answer.

1. Identify the contents of the prescribe drawings plans under NBCP.

2. Enumerate in chronological order the CSI divisions and describe each section by giving at
least 3 examples.
3. Your project team member delivers a project deliverable to the Owner. However, the Owner
refuses the deliverable, stating it does not meet the requirement on page 300 of the technical
specifications. You review the document and find that you agree. What is the
BEST thing to do?
4. An engineer is asked by his client to prepare a technical specification on a process connected
with a project which is not along his expertise. Should he decline the job? In the affirmative,
what course of action should he take?
5. A contract incorporating by reference the needed specification provides that an engineering
project shall be completed in 300 days with clause that delay in the completion shall render
the contractor liable for liquidated damages of P50,000.00 a day. The project was completed
after 343 days but the contractor refused to pay the owner the stipulated damages because
according to him the 300 days limit is understood to be working days and not calendar days.
Is the contractor justified in refusing to pay the stipulated damages? Why? If you were the
engineer who prepared the specification, how would you prevent that kind of dispute?
6. Of what importance is the preliminary investigation of the location before the work of
writing the specification is started?
Instruction Test 4 (Problem Solving): Read carefully and answer each of the following
questions. Write the correct answer with solutions.

1. A wall 65m. long and 2 m. high is to be installed using 150mm x 200mm x 400mm concrete
hollow blocks. Estimate the cost of materials only (cement and sand for mortar and
plastering, if class B mixture is used. Do not include footing. Assume the following
information for estimate purposes:
No. of CHB per sq.m. = 12.5 pcs
Quantity of bags of cement for mortar = 1.013 per sq.m. of wall
Quantity of sand needed for CHB mortar = 0.0844 cu.m. per sq.m. of wall
Quantity of sand needed for plastering = 0.016 cu.m. per sq.m. of wall
Quantity of bags of cement for plastering (both sides) = 0.192 per sq.m. of wall
Cement = P200/bag
Sand = P500/cu.m.
CHB = P10/pc.

2. A proposed concrete pavement has dimensions of 4m. wide and 6m. long by 200mm in
thickness. Determine the cost of materials for this pavement if the unit cost for the 40kg/bag
of cement is P110.00 and that of sand is P500 per cu.m. and gravel is P450 per cu.m. Use
class A mixture for this type of pavement. Use the table of concrete proportions per cu.m. of
concrete.

Class Mixture Cement Sand Gravel
