Assignment
Contract administration and monitoring is the most important area of construction
management. Contract administration process should start right from the day work is
assigned to the company. Discuss any project contract currently in progress with your
company and how administration and monitoring is being done. Draw the organization chart
for this activity and explain all the function carried out. Do you think the system is achieving
results? Discuss.
1. INTRODUCTION
Contract management is the process that enables both parties to a contract to meet their
obligations in order to deliver the objectives required from the contract. It also involves
building a good working relationship between customer and provider. It continues throughout
the life of a contract and involves managing proactively to anticipate future needs as well as
reacting to situations that arise.
The central aim of contract management is to obtain the services as agreed in the
contract and achieve value for money. This means optimising the efficiency, effectiveness
and economy of the service or relationship described by the contract, balancing costs against
risks and actively managing the customerprovider relationship. Contract management may
also involve aiming for continuous improvement in performance over the life of the contract.

c) WMM -250 mm in two layers
d) BM -75mm
e) DBM -110 mm in two layers
f) BC - 50mm
A typical pavement cross section of the NH-4 section is as shown in figure below
Existing two- lane pavement will be widened by the same treatment as that for new
carriageway.
