Standard contract provisions (vol 4): design and construct (D&C) contract
Design and Construct Contracts (D&C) have been used by the department in the past, with feedback and comment following use being assessed and incorporated into this Second Edition of Volume 4 of the Standard Contract Provisions Roads Manual. The Department’s version of a D&C contract is not based on Australian Standard General Conditions of Contract for design and construct contracts.
Unlike traditional delivery such as the RCC (Road Construction Contract), D&C Contracts require a “Brief” to detail the Scope of Works to be carried out by the Contractor. The 'Brief" is scalable for a particular project.
Selection of tenderers is usually through a pre-registration process that may not follow the procedure set out in the MRPDS (Main Roads Project Delivery System) as used for the traditional contract delivery.
