Justin,
Please see additional notes and details to be provided in the Tender Documentation for review by Tenders.
Rip Rap
 Please refer to the detail attached for more information on the specification of Rip Rap packed against
the building on S3.01. For information, the purpose of this Rip Rap is to provide a barrier against the
building to protect scouring of sand due to tidal waters and occasional flooding.
Screw Piles
 In relation to the screw piles, we would draw the Tenderer’s attention to notes on S3.01 regarding
probability of floating rock in the underlying strata and the variability of the soil conditions.
- The Tender should engage a suitable qualified screw pile designer with experience in the area to
provide a realistic allowance of screw pile depths.
- The Tenderer is to clearly state the length of pile allowed for in the Tender Estimate and must
provide a rate to vary both the number and length of piles.
Lift Shaft
 The lift shaft walls have been documented as in-situ walls due in part to the architectural requirement for
external walls to be cast in-situ, but the main reason for this is due to the first floor cantilever beam being
integral to one wall of the lift shaft. We do not believe that adequate connection between a precast wall
and a heavily loaded cantilever beam can be reliably constructed. As such, the lift shaft should remain as
documented.
this advice is not a variation order

contract authority to proceed must first be obtained if this advice involves cost or time variation
it is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that this advice conforms to all requirements necessary for the proper execution of the works

the Contract. Any deviation from the Contract must be formally submitted via the Builder to
the Superintendent clearly highlighting deviations from the scope of Works.
Where drawings are returned to the Contractor for amendment, such drawings shall be
amended and resubmitted within sufficient time to prevent delay to the completion of the
Works. Necessary re-submissions shall be made until such time as the drawings are approved
