ESKOM HOLDINGS SOC Ltd CONTRACT NUMBER: ____________

C2.1 Pricing assumptions: Option A
The conditions of contract
How work is priced and assessed for payment
Clause 11 in NEC3 Term Service Contract, June 2005 (TSC3) core clauses and Option A states:
Identified and 11
defined terms 11.2 (12) The Price List is the price list unless later changed in accordance
with this contract.
(17) The Price for Services Provided to Date is the total of
Contractor has completed and
calculated by multiplying the quantity which the Contractor has
completed by the rate.
(19) The Prices are the amounts stated in the Price column of the Price
List. Where a quantity is stated for an item in the Price List, the Price is
calculated by multiplying the quantity by the rate.
This confirms that Option A is a priced contract where the Prices are derived from a list of items of
service which can be priced as lump sums or as expected quantities of service multiplied by a rate
or a mix of both.
Function of the Price List
Clause 54.1 in Option A states: “Information in the Price List is not Service Information”. This
confirms that instructions to do work or how it is to be done are not included in the Price List but in
the Service Information. This is further confirmed by Clause 20.1 which states, “The Contractor
Provides the Service in accordance with the Service Information”. Hence the Contractor does not
Provide the Service in accordance with the Price List. The Price List is only a pricing document.
Link to the Contractor’s plan
Clause 21.4 states “The Contractor provides information which shows how each item description
on the Price List relates to the operations on each plan which he submits for acceptance”. Hence
when compiling the price list, the tendering contractor needs to develop his first clause 21.2 plan in
such a way that operations shown on it can be priced in the price list and result in a satisfactory
cash flow in terms of clause 11.2(17).
Preparing the price list
It will be assumed that the tendering contractor has read Pages 14, 15 and 73 of the TSC3
Guidance Notes before preparing the price list. Items in the price list may have been inserted by
the Employer and the tendering contractor should insert any additional items which he considers
necessary. Whichever party provides the items in the price list the total of the Prices is assumed
to be fully inclusive of everything necessary to Provide the Service as described at the time of
entering into this contract.
ESKOM HOLDINGS SOC Ltd CONTRACT NUMBER: ____________
Provision of Telephone Management System for Matla Power Station
1 As the Contractor has an obligation to correct Defects (core clause
42.1) and there is no compensation event for this unless the
Defect was due to an Employer’s risk, the lump sum Prices and
rates must also include for the correction of Defects.
2 If the Contractor has decided not to identify a particular item in the
price list at the time of tender the cost to the Contractor of doing
the work must be included in, or spread across, the other Prices
and rates in the price list in order to fulfil the obligation to complete
the service for the tendered total of the Prices.
3 There is no adjustment to lump sum prices in the price list if the
amount, or quantity, of work within that lump sum item of service
later turns out to be different to that which the Contractor
estimated at time of tender. The only basis for a change to the
Prices is as a result of a compensation event. See Clause 60.1.
4 Hence the Prices and rates tendered by the Contractor in the price
list are inclusive of everything necessary and incidental to
Providing the Service in accordance with the Service Information,
as it was at the time of tender, as well as correct any Defects not
caused by an Employer’s risk.
5 The Contractor does not have to allow in his Prices and rates for
matters that may arise as a result of a compensation event. It
should be noted that the list of compensation events includes
those arising as a result of an Employer's risk event listed in core
clause 80.1.
Format of the price list
(From of the TSC3 Guidance Notes)
Entries in the first four columns in the price list in section C2.2 are made either by the Employer or
the tendering contractor.
If the Contractor is to be paid an amount for the item which is not adjusted if the quantity of work in
the item changes, the tendering contractor enters the amount in the Price column only, the Unit,
Expected Quantity and Rate columns being left blank.
If the Contractor is to be paid an amount for an item of work which is the rate for the work
multiplied by the quantity completed, the tendering contractor enters the rate which is then
multiplied by the Expected Quantity to produce the Price, which is also entered.
If the Contractor is to be paid a Price for an item proportional to the length of time for which a
service is provided, a unit of time is stated in the Unit column and the expected length of time (as a
quantity of the stated units of time) is stated in the Expected Quantity column.

Description
Source: Life Saving-Rules.pdfEskom and its subsidiaries will conduct business with respect and care for people to ensure that no

to the environment. Eskom is committed to preventing all work-related injuries. In fulfilling this
commitment to protect people, the environment and property, management will provide and
maintain a safe and healthy work environment, in accordance with industry standards and in
compliance with legislative requirements.
At-risk behaviour leads to incidents. Life-saving Rules are safety rules that have been created to
enforce zero tolerance for serious at-risk behaviours. These rules have been determined in terms
of the consequences of the behaviours they describe, that is, if a particular set of behaviours or
actions has a very high probability of causing disabilities or fatalities when performed.
The Eskom Life-saving Rules complement our existing safety best practices and are safety rules to
be followed at all locations.
The Life-saving Rules apply to all Eskom employees, agents, consultants, and contractors. Visitors
to Eskom should also respect and adhere to these rules as applicable and could be instructed to
leave the Eskom premises with immediate effect should they refuse to do so.
2.1 Scope
This standard shall apply at all Eskom sites with the intention to promote a safe working
environment for all Eskom employees, agents, consultants, and contractors. Visitors to Eskom
should also respect and adhere to these rules, as applicable.
2.1.1 Purpose
This standard clarifies the five most prominent causes of serious injuries and fatalities within
Eskom, and non-adherence to
these rules, due to the potential consequences of serious injury or fatality at the workplace.
2.1.2 Applicability
This standard shall apply throughout Eskom Holdings SOC Limited, its divisions, subsidiaries, and
entities wherein Eskom has a controlling interest and/or Eskom contractors, unless specifically
exempted by Sustainability Systems, where the business transacted may be of a completely
different nature to the core business of Eskom.

standards and procedures. Outline the key principles or rules to support the implementation of the
standard statement.
3.2 Consequences of violating a Life-Saving Rule
In terms of general health and safety in Eskom, if any of the Life-saving Rules are violated, it will
be treated as a serious misconduct, and result in a disciplinary process in accordance with the
Eskom Disciplinary Code and Procedure.
It must be highlighted that Eskom takes a ZERO TOLERANCE stance to violation of these rules.
Depending on the circumstances, Eskom reserves the right, where a contractor
manager/supervisor allows the violation of a Lifewhile determining an appropriate sanction.
In the light of a contractor employee allegedly violating a Life-saving Rule, the contractor shall
immediately remove the employee from site and initiate the disciplinary process. The contractor
shall investigate any violation of a Life-saving Rule and initiate the disciplinary process within five
(5) working days of the violation. The contractor shall after the disciplinary process furnish Eskom
with a copy of the sanction.

standards and procedures. Outline the key principles or rules to support the implementation of the
standard statement.
3.2 Consequences of violating a Life-Saving Rule
In terms of general health and safety in Eskom, if any of the Life-saving Rules are violated, it will
be treated as a serious misconduct, and result in a disciplinary process in accordance with the
Eskom Disciplinary Code and Procedure.
It must be highlighted that Eskom takes a ZERO TOLERANCE stance to violation of these rules.
Depending on the circumstances, Eskom reserves the right, where a contractor
manager/supervisor allows the violation of a Lifewhile determining an appropriate sanction.
In the light of a contractor employee allegedly violating a Life-saving Rule, the contractor shall
immediately remove the employee from site and initiate the disciplinary process. The contractor
shall investigate any violation of a Life-saving Rule and initiate the disciplinary process within five
(5) working days of the violation. The contractor shall after the disciplinary process furnish Eskom
with a copy of the sanction.
