2 Table of changes Change No. Date Scope Acknowledgement The SABS Standards Division wishes to acknowledge that this part of SANS 1921 is based on the standard specifications for Road and Bridge Works for State Roads Authorities (1998) prepared by the Committee of Land Transport Officials. Foreword This South African standard was approved by National Committee SABS TC 59, Construction standards, in accordance with procedures of the SABS Standards Division, in compliance with annex 3 of the WTO/TBT agreement. This document is referenced in the Construction Industry Development Board Act, 2000 (Act No. 38 of 2000). SANS 1921 consists of the following parts, under the general title Construction and management requirements for works contracts: Part 1: General engineering and construction works. Part 2: Accommodation of traffic on public roads occupied by the contractor. Part 3: Structural steelwork. Other parts: To be confirmed. Annex A forms an integral part of this part of SANS Annex B is for information only. Reaffirmed and reprinted in December This standard will be reviewed every five years and be reaffirmed, amended, revised or withdrawn.

3 Introduction The scope of work contained in engineering and construction works contracts (see SANS 10403), specifies and describes the works which are to be provided and any other requirements and constraints relating to the manner in which the contract work is to be performed. It also specifies all the requirements pertaining to engineering, procurement, construction and management associated with the works and provides sufficient information to enable tenderers to price and plan the requirements for the contract. Table D.1 of SANS 10403:2003 provides a list of topics that should be considered in the development of the scope of work. It is, however, possible to provide standards that establish generic construction and management requirements which are applicable to a wide range of engineering and construction works and independent of contracting and pricing strategies in respect of particular activities. This part of SANS 1921 establishes generic requirements for the accommodation of traffic on public roads occupied by the contractor and can be referenced in, and made contract-specific through the provision of, specification data in the scope of work for a particular contract. It is intended for use with the standard conditions of a contract for engineering and construction works that are not drafted around specific management and construction techniques and procedures, i.e. forms of contract that address only the risks, liabilities and obligations of contracting parties and the agreed procedures for the administration of their contract. This part of SANS 1921 is suitable for use in most contracting strategies, ranging from design by employer to design and build, and is generally compatible with the provisions of the Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils' (FIDIC) first edition (1999) series of conditions of contract, the Joint Building Contracts Committee's (JBCC) series 2000 agreements, the New Engineering Contract (NEC) system of contracts and the South African Institution of Civil Engineering's General Conditions of Contract for Construction Works, first edition (2004). It makes reference to the parties to the contract, namely the employer and the contractor. No reference is made to the employer s agents or representatives as their delegations and responsibilities are established in the contract data pertaining to a particular contract. The SANS 2001 standards (all parts, in course of preparation) for construction works provide technical descriptions of the standard of materials and workmanship that the contractor is to use in the works, or the performance requirements of the works. 1

5 Construction and management requirements for works contracts Part 2: Accommodation of traffic on public roads occupied by the contractor 1 Scope This part of SANS 1921 establishes the construction, management and maintenance requirements for temporary deviations and detours, barricades and signs, and everything else that is necessary for the safe and easy passage of all public traffic during construction. It also specifies the defects liability period, and the obliteration of temporary deviations as they become redundant. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of SANS All standards are subject to revision and, since any reference to a standard is deemed to be a reference to the latest edition of that standard, parties to agreements based on this part of SANS 1921 are encouraged to take steps to ensure the use of the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Information on currently valid national and international standards can be obtained from the SABS Standards Division. SANS 1200 MM (SABS 1200 MM), Standardized specification for civil engineering construction Section MM: Ancillary roadworks. SANS 10403, Formatting and compilation of construction procurement documents. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this part of SANS 1921, the definitions given in SANS and the following definitions apply: 3.1 catchwater drain longitudinal drain outside the road prism, for diverting water that would otherwise flow into the road prism 3.2 contract binding agreement between the employer and the contractor 3.3 contractor natural or juristic person or partnership that contracts with the employer to provide engineering and construction works 3
