SECTION II - SPECIFICATIONS
Notes for preparing Specifications
1.
Specifications must be drafted to present a clear and precise statement of the required
standards of materials, and workmanship for tenderers to respond realistically and
competitively to the requirements of the Procuring Entity and ensure responsiveness of
tenders. The Specifications should require that all materials, plant, and other supplies to be
permanently incorporated in the Works be new, unused, of the most recent or current models,
and incorporating all recent improvements in design and materials unless provided
otherwise in the Contract. Where the Contractor is responsible for the design of any part of
the permanent Works, the extent of his obligations must be stated.
2.
Specifications from previous similar projects are useful and may not be necessary to re-write
specifications for every Works Contract.
3.
There are considerable advantages in standardizing General Specifications for repetitive
Works in recognized public sectors, such as high ways, urban housing, irrigation and water
supply. The General Specifications should cover all classes of workmanship, materials and
equipment commonly involved in constructions, although not necessarily to be used in a
particular works contract. Deletions or addenda should then adapt the General Specifications
to the particular Works.
4.
Care must be taken in drafting Specifications to ensure they are not restrictive. In the
Specifications of standards for materials, plant and workmanship, existing Kenya Standards
should be used as much as possible, otherwise recognized international standards may also
be used.
5.
The Procuring Entity should decide whether technical solutions to specified parts of the
Works are to be permitted. Alternatives are appropriate in cases where obvious (and
potentially less costly) alternatives are possible to the technical solutions indicated in tender
documents for certain elements of the Works, taking into consideration the comparative
specialized advantage of potential tenderers.
6.
The Procuring Entity should provide a description of the selected parts of the Works with
appropriate reference to Drawings, Specifications, Bills of Quantities, and Design or
Performance criteria, stating that the alternative solutions shall be at least structurally and
functionally equivalent to the basic design parameters and Specifications.
7.
Such alternative solutions shall be accompanied by all information necessary for a complete
evaluation by the Procuring Entity, including drawings, design calculations, technical
specifications, breakdown of prices, proposed construction methodology, and other relevant
details. Technical alternatives permitted in this manner shall be considered by the Procuring
Entity each on its own merits and independently of whether the tenderer has priced the item
as described in the Procuring Entity's design included with the tender documents.
