Part C2 Pricing Data - Option A

C2.1 Pricing assumptions Option A
How work is priced and assessed for payment
Option A is a lump sum form of contract where the work to be done is broken down into well-defined activities each
listed in the activity schedule and priced by the tendering consultant as a lump sum. (See clause 11.2(22)).
Only completed activities which are without Defects are assessed for payment at each assessment date; no part
payment is made if the activity is not completed by the assessment date. (See clause 11.2(20)).
The activity schedule may change after the Contract Date as a result of compensation events. (See clause 11.2(15)).
Function of the Activity Schedule
The Activity Schedule is only a pricing document. Clause 55.1 in Option A states: “Information in the Activity Schedule
is not Scope”. Specifications and descriptions of the service or any constraints on how it is to be done are included in
the Scope and per Clause 20.1, “The Consultant Provides the Service in accordance with the Scope” and therefore not
in accordance with the Activity Schedule.
Link to the programme
Clause 31.4 in Option A states that “The Consultant provides information which shows how each activity on the
Activity Schedule relates to the operations on each programme submitted for acceptance”. Ideally the tendering
consultant will develop a high level programme first then resource each activity on the programme and thus arrive at
the lump sum price for that activity which is entered into the activity schedule.
Preparing the activity schedule
The tendering consultant prepares the activity schedule by breaking down the work described within the Scope into
suitable activities which can be well defined, shown on a programme and priced as a lump sum.
The description of each activity must be enough to determine exactly what work is included within it and to know
when it has been completed.
Each deliverable identified in the Scope must be shown in the activity schedule using the opening words “Deliver
and obtain acceptance by the Service Manager for ……..” In effect this means the Consultant can only claim
payment for that activity once the deliverable has been accepted by the Service Manager.
It is assumed that in preparing the activity schedule the Consultant:
 Has taken account of the guidance given in the “User Guide, Preparing a Professional Service Contract”;
 Understands the function of the Activity Schedule and how work is priced and paid for;
 Is aware of the need to link the Activity .Schedule to activities shown on each programme which it submits
for acceptance by the Service Manager;
 Has listed and priced activities in the activity schedule which are inclusive of everything necessary and
incidental to Providing the Service in accordance with the Scope, as it was at the Contract Date, as well as
correct Defects except correcting a Defect for which the Consultant is not liable;
 Has priced work it decides not to show as a separate activity within the Prices of other listed activities in
order to fulfil the obligation to complete the service for the tendered total of the Prices.

CSIR CONTRACT NO.
 Understands there is no adjustment to the lump sum Activity Schedule price if the amount, or quantity, of
work within that activity later turns out to be different to that which the Consultant estimated at time of
tender. The only basis for a change to the Prices is because of a compensation event.
However, the Consultant does not have to allow in its Prices for matters that may arise as a result of a compensation
event.
Expenses
Expenses are not included in the activity schedule items and are assessed separately at each assessment date.
Expenses associated with employing a staff member in Providing the Service are listed separately by the Client in
Contract Data provided by the Client. As only the expenses listed may be claimed by the Consultant, all other cost to
the Consultant associated with Providing the Service is treated as being included within the Activity Schedule prices
or People Rates.
People Rates
When a compensation event occurs changes to the affected Activity Schedule item or new priced items in the Activity
Schedule are assessed as the actual Defined Cost for work already done and the forecast Defined Cost for work not yet
done. (See clause 63.1, then 11.2(16) and 63.13 in Option A)
Defined Cost is the cost of the components in the Short Schedule of Cost Components (Clause 11.2(16)).
These components comprise cost of people using the People Rates for the time spent working on the compensation
event and any payment due to Subcontractors for their involvement in the compensation event.
Tendering consultants enter people rates in Contract Data provided by the Consultant for categories of persons.

CSIR CONTRACT NO.
C2.2 The Activity Schedule - Option A
The activity schedule has the following format.
Each of the deliverables identified in the Scope must be described using the opening words, “Deliver and obtain
acceptance by the Service Manager for …….”.

No. Reference

Supply and facility requirements

This pilot digester requires a supply battery prepared according to below list. Furthermore, it
requires space as well as handling of ventilation and drain, also listed below.
A. Electrical power: 3-phase connection at minimum 32A. 380-480 VAC 50/60 Hz. Actual supply
must be notified to CRS at order.
B. Steam: Minimum 10 bar(g), recommended 12 bar(g), at peak consumption rate of 30 g/s.
Average consumption is considerably lower.
C. Compressed air: Dry air at minimum 6 bar(g), maximum 8 bar(g). Mill supplies are often of
inferior quality in terms of moisture present and pressure kept – a separate compressor for
laboratory is recommended. Peak consumption 200 NL/min, average considerably lower.
D. Nitrogen: Preferably supplied by bottle. Multi-bottle system preferred as to avoid pressure
drops when supply running low or bottle switched. Minimum 18 bar(g), maximum 22 bar(g).
Actual consumption is very low.
E. Cooling water: Minimum 3 bar(g), maximum 6 bar(g), at peak consumption rate of 30 Lpm.
Maximum temperature 40C.
F. Demin water: Minimum 4 bar(g), maximum 8 bar(g), at peak consumption rate of 15 Lpm.
G. Space & entrance: Pilot outer dimension, including platforms, will be approximately 4 x 2.2
m, but space around is recommended on three sides so that floor space needed will be
minimum 6 x 3.2 m, excluding areas for charge and discharge handling, tools, bottles etc.
Machine height during transportation approximately 3 m and fully mounted on sight
approximately 3.5 m. Platform height at approximately 1.6 m above floor. Minimum door
dimension for entrance to pilot hall is width 1.4 m and height 3.1 m. Precise dimensions
given after engineering has been completed.
H. Drain: Pilot will release cooling water and dirty liquors – these drains can be separated. By
hose from pilot to collection points. Drain canals recommended.
I. Ventilation: Pilot hall will need good ventilation. Consider extra suction points near drain
outlets and digester vessel, but this is not strictly required.
J. Control room / area: A designated control room is not required, but strongly recommended.
The control room can be used not only for the control PC, but as a small near pilot office,
storage for special tools and spares etc. Must be overlooking the machine in any case. Please
note that a control room could be used for other equipment too. Should be air conditioned,
both for the convenience of operators as well as for computers and storage of spares.
K. Support area: In our experience, having 10-15 m2 extra floor space for handling, washing,
cleaning, near machine storage, service etcetera is often very valuable.

5.3.2. Temperature Control

The temperature control system will comprise of a solid-state relay power regulation
of the elements via a microprocessor based temperature controller – the RKC RB100.
Figure 6: The RKC RB100 is a robust

temperature indicating controller
5.3.3. Thermocouples
A single thermocouple will monitor and execute control of the temperature along the
heated length of the tube. The temperature will be taken outside the tube, in the
insulated heating cavity. The thermocouples will also be placed through the discharge
cowling to monitor the internal gas temperature. Again, this will be alarmed to
indicate combustion and run-away temperatures.
If the client wants the kiln to have 3 independent heating zones, this must be
specified, and the proposal will be adjusted accordingly.
5.3.4. Motor Control

The motors for the auger feeder and the tube rotation will be controlled by VFDs,
allowing the operator to adjust feed rates and residence time. The VFD’s will be fitted
with HMI’s mounted on the front of the control panel.
