2.0 Considerations for Contingency
Road Repair Program

1. All the work plan is based on visual inspection and assessment of the work is based on experience – details
investigation and testing will be required to confirm the repair method and may result in difference repair method
selected
2. Maintenance of traffic can require traffic detour, installation of concrete barriers, signaling, etc., that may result in
additional cost
3. Extent of damage may increase from now to the time of the work
4. The region is experiencing a rapid growth in construction which will affect the availability of raw material and its
cost
5. Current asphalt damage on roads under guaranty is not necessarily covered by the guaranty as the root cause of
the damage my be below the work of the Contractor – area to be repaired under the future contract may have to be
increased to encompass this work

Considering the above, a contingency of 25% is considered for all works
