1.1		INTRODUCTION

1.1.1		Lihir Gold Limited (ARBN 069 803 998), a company incorporated in Papua New Guinea, of Level 7, Pacific Place, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea (hereinafter referred to as “LGL”) is the owner and operator of the Lihir Mine located on Lihir Island (hereinafter referred to as the “Mine”) and is carrying out expansion work, generally described as the Million Ounce Project (hereinafter referred to as the “Total Project”).

1.1.2		To manage the Total Project, LGL will be entering into a number of Contracts (“Work Packages”), with various contractors, to carry out sections of the Total Project in individual Work Packages. It is essential for the successful completion of the Total Project that all Contractors work together with LGL as a team, and contribute positively to the resolution of problems and to the completion of the Total Project on time and on budget.

1.1.3		The conditions and procedures by which the Contracts will be managed are based on the following general principles:

	a.		The Contractors awarded Work Packages shall be experienced and proficient in the specific Work Package field and shall therefore be conversant with the day-to-day problems encountered on a project of this size, and shall have made adequate allowance in their Tender Price to overcome such problems by efficient management, supervision, and co-ordination. Accordingly, only major issues will require resolution/ direction at the project management level.

	b.		During the course of performing the Work, it is unlikely that idyllic work conditions will exist. The interface between related contracts, and ongoing mining operations, necessary changes to the Work, material deliveries, the terrain, and the prevailing weather conditions will all contribute to varying the programmed flow of work. The Contractor’s Tender shall recognize this and shall include the necessary flexibility, including alterations of resource levels and workforce relocations to optimize productivity and progress, in the Tender Price.

	c.		This Work Package is an integral part of the Total Project. Therefore, it is essential that the Contract be completed in accordance with the Contract Schedule to ensure that the Total Project is completed in accordance with the Total Project Program. Accordingly, time is of the essence of this Contract.

	d.		In order to ensure the resolution of issues as they occur, and to afford LGLLGL the opportunity to investigate alternative options, all matters involving extra payment will be subject to strict notification requirements which will be rigidly enforced as LGLLGL should not be required to pay for anything it has not had the opportunity to approve, avoid, or minimise.

1.2		DESCRIPTION OF THE TOTAL PROJECT AND SITE

1.2.1		To assist the Contractor in becoming familiar with the Total Project, this section contains a brief description of the Total Project and other general information. Some aspects of this information may change, or be inaccurate, therefore no reliance should be placed upon it. It is simply offered by way of general introduction.

1.2.2		The Mine is located on Lihir Island within the Lihir Island Group. The Lihir Island Group consists of four islands, of which Niolam Island (commonly known as Lihir Island) is the largest. Lihir Island is located at longitude 152°38’ E, latitude 3°07’ S, and approximately 700 kilometres North-East of the PNG capital of Port Moresby. The Mine is located approximately 50 metres above sea level. The temperature at the Mine ranges from +19°C to +35°C and the average precipitation is 4,800 millimetres per year.

2.1.1		The Tenderer, by submission of its Tender, unconditionally agrees, in consideration of LGL evaluating and considering its Tender, to be bound by the Conditions of Tendering set out herein.

2.2		TENDER DOCUMENTS

2.3		TENDERER TO INFORM ITSELF

2.3.1		The Tenderer understands and acknowledges that it has, and in any event, that it is reasonable to deem that it has:

	a.		examined carefully and acquired actual knowledge of the Tender Documents and any other information made available in writing by LGL to the Tenderer for the purpose of tendering;

	b.		inspected the Site and its surroundings and as a result of careful examination, has satisfied itself as to any and all restrictions resulting from carrying out the Work on an operating mine site, the nature, extent and location of the Work, the formation and geology of the ground, the character, quality and quantity of the surface or sub-surface materials and structures to be encountered, the character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during the prosecution of the Work, the availability of labour, water, power, communications, roads and means of transportation, disposal, handling and storage of materials, the general local conditions, including weather conditions, and all other matters or things which may affect the execution of the Work;

	c.		examined all information and made all necessary inquiries relevant to the risks, contingencies and other circumstances having an effect or which could have an effect on its Tender, including making inquiries regarding all geotechnical information produced for exploration and/or mine development, and satisfied itself that it has examined sufficient information for the purpose of preparing its Tender;

	d.		satisfied itself as to the correctness and sufficiency of its Tender and that its Tender Price covers the cost of complying with all the obligations of the Contract and of all matters and things necessary for the due and proper performance and completion of the Work described in the Tender Documents including any risks and contingent liabilities related thereto.

2.3.2		LGL will not bear the cost of any errors, misunderstandings or deficiencies of the Tenderer. Therefore, no claims will be accepted based on the assertion of the Tenderer that it was not aware of the provisions or conditions covered by the Tender Documents or had otherwise omitted to make some provision in its Tender Price.

2.3.3		Should any Tenderer find any discrepancies, inconsistencies, errors or omissions in the Tender Documents or should it be in doubt as to their meaning, it shall at once notify LGL in writing and LGL will explain or amend the Tender Documents. No explanation or amendment to the Tender Documents will be recognised, unless in the form of a written notice of explanation or addendum issued by LGL in the form set out in Tender Form Appendix 3/A or 3/B, respectively.

2.3.4		Verbal advice or information given or obtained in respect of this Tender shall not constitute a warranty or a statement to the Tenderer on which the Tenderer may rely and shall not be binding on LGL.

3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 2 Page No 1

Section 2 — Conditions of Tendering

2.4		TENDER PRICE

2.4.1		The Tender Price submitted in accordance with these Conditions of Tendering shall be expressed in the currency stated in Clause 1.8 (Total Project Data).

2.4.2		The Tender Price shall be fixed in wage rates or allowances, material costs, transportation costs, primage, fees, taxes and all other costs or expenses of whatsoever kind, whether or not of the forgoing nature unless specifically provided for in Section 9. Where unit rates are tendered, a complete detailed breakdown showing all components that make up each rate shall be provided.

2.4.3		The Tender Price shall be expressed as either:

	a.		a total lump sum, or

	b.		a schedule of all-inclusive Tender Rates, extended by the provisional unit quantities to give an Estimated Total Cost,

		as nominated in Volume 3B, Section 9, Tender Conditions of Particular Application.

2.4.4		For Lump Sum contracts, the Tenderer shall provide a breakdown of its Tender Price in accordance with the items listed in Tender Form Appendix 10/A. Each item must be priced and the quantity, material and erection components for each item provided. No items shall be “included” or merged in other items. Tender Form Appendix 10/A is required for budget control and the assessment of Progress Claims, and therefore must accurately reflect the Tenderers estimate. If LGL considers that the Tenderer has ‘loaded’ Tender Form Appendix 10/A to artificially increase the value of the earliest items of Work to be executed, it may amend Tender Form Appendix 10/A as it thinks appropriate and such amended Tender Form Appendix 10/A shall be used for the assessment of Progress Claims. Any such amendment shall not be subject to dispute by the Tenderer / Contractor. The Tenderer shall add to Tender Form Appendix 10/A any additional item for which it requires payment and shall ensure the total of Tender Form Appendix 10/A equals the Tender Price.

2.4.5		For Unit Rate contracts, the Tenderer shall submit Tender Rates as required by Tender Form Appendix 10/A, which shall be used to pay the Contractor for the actual Work done. The Tender Rates shall be either Unit Rates covering the entire cost of performing identifiable units of Work (such as cubic meters of excavation) or shall be all-inclusive Hourly Hire Rates for personnel and equipment where units of Work cannot be readily identified, or may be a combination of both, depending upon the nature of Work required. Tender Form Appendix 10/A may, where appropriate, also include some items for which a Lump Sum is required. The Tenderer shall extend each Tender Rate in the Tender Form Appendix 10/A by the number of units estimated to be required to execute the provisional Scope of Work, if any, set out in the Tender Documents, and shall add to Tender Form Appendix 10/A any additional Tender Rate or Lump Sum item for which it will require payment. The extended Tender Rates, additional Tender Rates and Lump Sums shall then be totalled to give an Estimated Tender Price. The Estimated Tender Price will only be used for LGL budget purposes and to monitor the performance of the Tenderer if it is awarded the Contract. It shall not be taken to imply a guaranteed scope of work, a minimum or maximum price, or any other such thing of whatsoever nature. The extent of work to be performed will be solely determined by LGL during the course of the Contract.

2.4.6		Where plant and equipment Hourly Hire Rates are tendered on Tender Form Appendix 10/A, the rates shall exclude plant operators and shall only apply to the period which such plant and equipment actually executes work or is necessarily retained at the location of a specific item of work to perform periodic tasks necessary for the execution of the Work (Stand By). Labour Hourly Hire Rates tendered on Tender Form Appendix 10/A including plant operators, shall apply to the full hours, days or weeks that such labour is engaged in performing Work at the direction of LGL excluding public holidays,

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

4.1		PRELIMINARIES

4.1.1		Introduction

		This section sets out the general terms and conditions, which are to regulate the performance of the Work, and the obligations and requirements of the various parties involved in the execution of the Work. These general terms and conditions set out the procedures to be followed by the various parties in relation to standard tasks or in the event of common occurrences and should be strictly followed to ensure the efficient administration of the Contract. The terms and conditions have been set out herein under headings and subheadings to assist in the practical use of the document. However, such headings do not form part of the General Conditions of Contract and cannot be used in the interpretation of the Contract. For example, conditions relating to liabilities are not restricted to those terms and conditions headed “4.4 LIABILITIES”.

4.1.2		Supervision of the Work

4.1.2.1		LGL shall generally supervise the Work. The purpose of this general supervision is to advise the Contractor of any observed deviations from the requirements of the Contract, to direct variations to the Work, to accept or reject Work or material, and to decide all questions which arise in the execution of the Work. Such general supervision shall not relieve the Contractor in any way from providing continuous superintendence for the detailed direction of the Work or from its obligation to complete the Work in accordance with the Contract.

4.1.2.2		The operational structure of LGL will be generally as shown in Appendix 5/A and general supervision of the Work will occur on three levels: Area Manager, Engineering Manager and Construction Manager, in accordance with the guidelines set out hereunder:

	i)		Area Manager

			The Area Manager shall be directly responsible for the day-to-day general supervision of the Work and will be the Contractor’s communication link with LGL. The role of the Area Manager will be such that to ensure positive progress he or she will assist, direct and, if appropriate, offer advice to the Contractor both verbally and in writing but shall do so with the benefit of immunity from causing any liability or additional costs as a result of his or her actions.

			If the Contractor considers that any actions of the Area Manager could cause additional costs or create any liability, whether for negligence or otherwise, the Contractor shall ignore such actions and immediately seek directions from the Engineering Manager. By agreement to these conditions, the Contractor absolves the Area Manager and LGL from any such liability and accepts that such immunity is necessary for the effective day-to-day general supervision of the Work and that its rights are otherwise sufficiently protected by its access to the Engineering Manager for directions.

			In cases where the Contractor may be performing Work in more than one area, different Area Managers may be nominated for each area.

	ii)		Engineering Manager

			The Engineering Manager shall be responsible for the technical and engineering supervision of the Work, shall deal with all matters relative to design, testing and approval of the Work, and shall decide all questions which arise in the execution of the Work which cannot be resolved by the Area Manager or which may involve any extra cost.



Volume 3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 4 Page No 1

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

			All directions issued by the Engineering Manager shall be in writing in the form of Site Instructions and where practical, shall be issued to the Contractor via the Area Manager. The Contractor shall comply with all such directions.

	iii)		Construction Manager

			The Construction Manager shall be responsible for the overall supervision and co-ordination of the Total Project. In relation to this Contract, that responsibility will involve attendance at meetings and discussions with the Contractor on overall performance. If the Contractor believes that any action or direction by the Construction Manager constitutes a variation to the Contract, or will involve it in any additional costs, it shall obtain a Site Instruction from the Engineering Manager, prior to proceeding with the variation or complying with the direction.

The terms Area Manager, Engineering Manager and Construction Manager shall also include the duly and properly authorised (in writing) designate (s) of each.

4.1.3		Contractor’s Superintendence

4.1.3.1		Activities relating to the execution of the Work shall be directly supervised by the Contractor’s Key Personnel listed on Tender Form Appendix 3/G. Should the Contractor wish to substitute for any of these Key Personnel, such substitution shall be subject to the approval of LGL and shall be conditional upon the substituted Key Personnel being of equal experience and competence. The Contractor’s supervisory staff, such as foremen and leading hands, shall continuously superintend all Work (whether executed by Subcontractors or otherwise) to provide detailed direction of the Work at the location where Work is being executed.

4.1.3.2		It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to effectively organize its own internal communications, therefore any direction given to any person supervising the Work on behalf of the Contractor shall be deemed to have been given to the Contractor and any matters within the knowledge of such persons, shall be deemed to be within the knowledge of the Contractor.

4.1.3.3		The Contractor’s Key Personnel shall be fluent in the English language.

4.1.4		Commencement of the Work

4.1.4.1		The Contractor shall commence Work on Site within seven (7) days of the date of issue of the Letter of Acceptance or within such extended period as may be nominated in the Letter of Acceptance.

4.1.5		Access to Site

4.1.5.1		LGL shall, on the date for the Contractor to commence Work on Site, give to the Contractor access to sufficient of the Site to enable it to commence Work and thereafter to execute the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract. As the Work is being carried out as part of an expansion to an operating mine, access will not be free and clear or unrestricted but will be subject to operating restrictions. At all times, operating requirements shall take precedence over access requirements for the Work.

4.1.5.2		Should any delay take place in giving the Contractor initial access to the Site to commence Work, the delay shall be deemed not to constitute a breach of contract but the Contract Schedule shall be amended to the extent necessary to overcome such delay. The objective of any such amendment shall be to maintain completion dates. Should any



Volume 3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 4 Page No 2

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

		subsequent delay in providing ongoing access take place, the provisions of Clause 4.2.4 shall apply.

4.1.5.3		The Contractor shall not be entitled to unrestricted access or sole possession of any part of the Site as other contractors and persons will be carrying out work on the Site concurrently with the Contractor and in many instances in the same work area. The Contractor shall adopt all necessary measures to prevent and avoid conflicts.

4.1.6		Security

4.1.6.1		The Contractor shall provide security equal to of the Contract Sum for the purpose of ensuring the due and proper performance of the Contract and of satisfying the obligations of the Contractor under the Contract. LGL may recover all debts due and owing from the Contractor to LGL from the security if not otherwise paid by or recovered from the Contractor. The security shall be in the form of cash, bank cheque, irrevocable letter of credit or Unconditional Bank Guarantee in the form set out in Appendix 5/B.

4.1.6.2		The security shall be lodged by the Contractor with LGL within fourteen (14) days after the Date of Acceptance of Tender.

4.1.6.3		If the Contractor fails to provide the security within the time prescribed in Clause 4.1.6.2, LGL may terminate the Contract, pursuant to Clause 4.5.4.

4.1.7		Inspection and Provision of insurance Policies

4.1.7.1		Before commencing the Work and whenever requested in writing, at any time and from time to time thereafter, so to do by LGL, the Contractor shall produce evidence to the satisfaction and approval of LGL of the insurances effected and maintained by the Contractor and its Subcontractors for the purposes of this Contract.

4.1.7.2		The identity of the insurers and the form of the policies shall be subject to the approval of LGL.

4.1.7.3		If, after being requested in writing by LGL so to do, the Contractor fails to produce evidence of compliance with its insurance obligations under this Contract, LGL may effect and keep in force any such insurance and pay such premiums as may be necessary for that purpose, and the amount so paid shall be a debt due from the Contractor to LGL.

4.1.7.4		The Contractor shall, as soon as practicable, inform LGL in writing of the occurrence of any event that may give rise to a claim under a policy of insurance effected as required by this Contract. The Contractor shall ensure that LGL is kept fully informed of subsequent actions and developments concerning the claim.

4.1.7.5		The effecting of insurance as required by this Contract shall not in any way limit the liabilities or obligations of the Contractor under the Contract.

4.1.7.6		The insurance requirements of this Contract are set out in Section 6.

4.2		ADMINISTRATION

4.2.1		Written Communications

4.2.1.1		All written communications from the Contractor to LGL shall be addressed to the Engineering Manager and shall have a reference code on the top right-hand corner. This code shall be:

		C/Work Package No./ Reference No.



Volume 3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 4 Page No 3

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

		The reference No. can be any consecutive series of numbers provided that the same number is never used twice.

4.2.1.2		All written communications from LGL to the Contractor shall be similarly referenced but prefixed with the letter L, i.e. L/Work Package No./Reference No.

4.2.1.3		All communications shall be in the English language.

4.2.1.4		The Contractor shall treat all information relating to the business, operations, practices, policies, procedures, notes, memorandums, reports or logs of LGL as strictly confidential and shall only disclose this information to a third party upon receipt of prior written approval from LGL.

4.2.2		Site Instructions

4.2.2.1		Ail written directions and on Site communications (other than verbal communications by the Area Manager pursuant to Clause 4.1.2.2) shall be issued to the Contractor by Site Instructions as detailed in Appendix 5/C and in accordance with the Site Instruction Flow Chart Appendix 5/D.

4.2.2.2		All Site Instructions are issued subject to the condition that they are either:

	i)		No cost variation to the Contract;

	ii)		Issued with Quotation Price Request N° xx (work not to proceed until Contract Variation is issued); or

	iii)		Issued with Dayworks sheet N° xx (work to proceed on Dayworks basis).

		as indicated by the notation adjacent to the checked box.

4.2.2.3		The Contractor is required to sign the Site Instruction and return copy No. 4 to the Engineering Manager. By signing the Site Instruction, the Contractor agrees to the condition(s) as noted. In the event that any Site Instruction is inadvertently issued without any checked box it shall be deemed to be issued on the condition that it is a “No cost variation to the Contract”. If the Contractor does not agree with the conditions as noted, the Contractor shall immediately, and prior to taking any action in relation to the Site Instruction, arrange a meeting with the Engineering Manager to resolve the issue. If the Contractor fails to sign the Site Instruction but proceeds to comply with the Site Instruction, such action shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by the Contractor of the conditions. This deemed acceptance shall not affect LGL’s right to suspend payments due to the Contractor’s failure to sign the Site Instruction

4.2.2.4		Notwithstanding the issue of any Site Instruction, Quotation Price Request, Contract Variation or Dayworks Sheet, in the event that any such document is subsequently found to authorize additional Work which is already within the Scope of Work, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any adjustment to the Contract Sum.

4.2.3		Site Meetings

4.2.3.1		LGL shall convene a pre-start meeting with the Contractor to correspond with the Contractor’s mobilization to Site. The purpose of this meeting will be to introduce the Contractor’s Key Personnel to LGL’s on-site personnel and to discuss Site procedures and the Contract Schedule.

4.2.3.2		During the execution of the Work, LGL shall convene a weekly co-ordination meeting. Twenty-four (24) hours prior to this meeting, the Contractor shall submit its Progress



Volume 3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 4 Page No 4

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

		Reports required by Clause 4.2.4 and any subsequent revisions to the Contract Schedule. A draft agenda for this meeting is set out in Appendix 5/E.

4.2.3.3		The Contractor shall be represented at site meetings, as may be convened by LGL, by the attendance of its Key Personnel and any other personnel requested to be in attendance by LGL.

4.2.3.4		The purpose of site meetings shall be to openly discuss all matters relative to the Work and the progress thereof. Minutes of the meetings shall be kept by LGL and issued to the Contractor as soon as possible thereafter. Should the Contractor not agree with the accuracy of the minutes, it shall notify LGL within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt thereof of any inaccuracy. Failure to so notify will be deemed acceptance by the Contractor of the minutes as a true and accurate record.

4.2.3.5		Notwithstanding the recording of such minutes, nothing which transpires at any meeting, shall constitute a direction or an agreement of any kind unless and until the Engineering Manager has issued a Site Instruction confirming such direction or agreement.

4.2.4		Progress and Programming of the Work

4.2.4.1		The Contractor shall proceed with the Work in accordance with the Contract Schedule.

4.2.4.2		If the Contractor is not achieving a rate of progress, which is in accordance with the Contract Schedule, LGL may proceed in accordance with Clause 4.5.4.

4.2.4.3		The Contractor shall submit Progress Reports in the format set out in Appendix 5/F (Sheets 1 to 3). The Progress Report (Appendix 5/F, Sheet 1) shall be submitted to and agreed with the Area Manager, at least every seven (7) days (and at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the weekly coordination meeting). Appendix 5/F, Sheet 2 “Daily manpower” and Sheet 3 “Plant and Equipment Usage” shall be submitted to and agreed with the Area Manager each day.

4.2.4.4		If the Contractor’s weekly Progress Report shows any actual or predicted progress less than the progress required to maintain the Contract Schedule, then the Contractor shall, together with the Progress Report, submit a Revised Schedule showing the effect of the lack of progress and an Alternative Schedule showing how the lost time can be made up so that all Work can be completed in accordance with the Contract Schedule. If the Revised and/or Alternative schedules are relatively minor changes to the existing Contract Schedule they may, in the first instance, be marked up on a copy of the existing Contract Schedule in two distinctly different colours.

4.2.4.5		If the Contractor considers that any delay in progress since its last Progress Report has or will be caused by an act or omission on the part of LGL, it shall, together with the weekly Progress Report (Appendix 5/F, Sheet 1), submit a statement of facts upon which it bases such an assertion and a quotation for the extra costs, if any, of proceeding in accordance with the Alternative Schedule. The Contractor shall have no entitlement to any extra costs incurred more than seven (7) Days prior to submission of the statement of facts.

4.2.4.6		LGL shall direct the Contractor, by written Site Instruction, which schedule to follow and thereafter such schedule shall become the Contract Schedule. If the Contractor has submitted only a marked up copy of the existing Contract Schedule, it shall immediately produce a properly amended Contract Schedule to show either the Revised or Alternative form in accordance with the direction given by LGL.

4.2.4.7		In the event that LGL directs the Contractor to proceed with the Alternative Schedule and considers that the lack of progress was or would have been caused wholly or in part



Volume 3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 4 Page No 5

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

		by an act or omission on the part of LGL, an appropriate Contract Variation shall be issued.

4.2.4.8		In the event that LGL directs the Contractor to proceed with the Revised Schedule and considers that the lack of progress was or would have been caused wholly or in part by an act or omission of LGL, no Contract Variation shall be issued at this time, however, the Site Instruction directing the use of the Revised Schedule shall record the extent to which LGL accepts responsibility for the delay. At Practical Completion, such Site Instructions shall be reviewed in accordance with the following principles:

	i)		The period of delay for which LGL has accepted responsibility shall be totalled (and where partial responsibility has been accepted a corresponding portion of the period by which the completion date changed shall be used).

	ii)		A credit period shall be determined for Variations and Dayworks by determining the percentage value of Contract Variations and Dayworks to the Contract Sum and applying this percentage to the Original Contract Period.

	iii)		The actual period of overrun (if any) of the Date for Practical Completion shall be determined by calculating the difference between the Date for Practical Completion and the date upon which the Contractor first applied for Practical Completion pursuant to Clause 4.2.12.

	iv)		The Reimbursable Period of delay (if any) shall be calculated by the following formula:

			Reimbursable Period = the lesser of:

	a)		actual period of overrun less credit period; or

	b)		total period of delay for which LGL has accepted responsibility.

4.2.4.9		A Contract Variation shall be issued for the Contractor’s Actual Onsite Overhead Costs (as defined by Clause 4.5.9.1) for the Reimbursable Period calculated by ascertaining the average of the Contractor’s Actual Onsite Overheads at the time of each accepted delay and applying this to the Reimbursable Period.

4.2.4.10		It is specifically agreed that the amount of the Contract Variations issued pursuant to Clause 4.2.4.7 or 4.2.4.9 shall represent the Contractor’s total entitlement for the consequence of any delays for which LGL has accepted responsibility.

4.2.4.11		Where the Contract Schedule makes provisions for delays by the inclusion of “float periods”, the use of such float periods in amended Contract Schedules shall be subject to the approval of LGL.

4.2.4.12		Where two or more concurrent events cause delay, then the events, if any, caused by or which are the responsibility of the Contractor shall be regarded as the cause of delay for the purpose of Clauses 4.2.4.7 and 4.2.4.8.

4.2.4.13		Each issue of the Contractor’s amended Contract Schedule shall be appropriately marked with the date of issue and an issue identification number or letter and shall list the amendments made from the previous issue.



Volume 3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 4 Page No 6

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

4.2.4.14		The Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional payment for complying with the provisions of this Clause except as expressly set out herein, it being expressly agreed that such requirements form part of the Contractor’s offer to perform the Work for the Contract Sum and that any risks in relation thereto are accepted by the Contractor.

4.2.4.15		The Contractor shall only be entitled to recover the costs of delay or acceleration in accordance with the procedures set out in this clause 4.2.4.

4.2.5		Suspension of the Work

4.2.5.1		LGL may instruct the Contractor to suspend the progress of the whole or any part of the Work, for such time or times as LGL may think fit.

4.2.5.2		Should the Contractor wish to suspend the progress of the whole or any part of the Work, it shall, in writing, notify LGL and explain the reasons for the suspension. LGL shall thereupon, if it considers it necessary or reasonable so to do, grant permission for a suspension of the whole or any part of the Work for such time or times as it deems fit.

4.2.5.3		When the reason for the suspension no longer exists, LGL shall instruct the Contractor to recommence work on the whole or on any relevant part of the Work and the Contractor shall comply with such direction promptly.

4.2.5.4		The Contractor shall have no right to receive any additional payment by reason of any direction to suspend the progress of all or any part of the Work other than in accordance with the provisions of Clause 4.2.4.

4.2.5.5		The suspension of the progress of the whole or any part of the Work shall not affect the obligation of the Contractor to execute the Work.

4.2.6		Progress Claims and Payments

4.2.6.1		The Contractor shall only be entitled to claim by way of progress payments for Work executed (excluding materials not incorporated in the works) comprising:

	i)		The Contract value of Work executed;

	ii)		The value of Work executed pursuant to any issued Contract Variations; and

	iii)		The value of Work executed pursuant to an issued Site Instruction authorising Work to proceed on a Dayworks basis and evidenced by Dayworks sheets signed by the Area Manager.

4.2.6.2		Once each month, the Contractor shall prepare and present to the Area Manager a Progress Claim in the form set out in Appendix 5/G (Sheets 1 to 4). The Area Manager shall then make an assessment of the value of Work done and completed and sign the appropriate sections of the Progress Claim forms noting any adjustments thereto.

4.2.6.3		Should the Area Manager make any adjustments to the Contractor’s Progress Claim, the Area Manager and the Contractor shall jointly review the adjustments so that the Contractor may accept or reject the adjustment. Such acceptance or rejection shall be noted on the appropriate section of the Progress Claim forms and shall be signed by one of the Contractor’s Key Personnel holding a position of authorization as noted in Tender Form Appendix 3/G

4.2.6.4		Should the Contractor not accept the adjustments, the matter shall be referred to the Engineering Manager who shall decide the extent or amount of Work for the purpose of the Progress Claim. In making this decision, the Engineering Manager shall not be under any obligation to measure or otherwise correctly determine the extent or amount of Work,



Volume 3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 4 Page No 7

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

		but shall merely make an expedient decision to resolve the issue. The Engineering Manager’s decision shall be final and binding for the purpose of the Progress Claim and the Contractor shall not be entitled to claim any additional monies, including interest, as a consequence of the Engineering Manager’s decision.

4.2.6.5		As soon as the extent of Work has been agreed upon by the Area Manager and the Contractor, or decided by the Engineering Manager, the Contractor shall submit the Progress Claim to the Engineering Manager complete with any statutory required documents and the originals of any Dayworks sheets claimed for.

4.2.6.6		The Engineering Manager shall not accept and shall return to the Contractor any Progress Claim which is either not in the prescribed form, including cost codes, etc., not signed by the Area Manager (and Engineering Manager if required) or hot accompanied by the appropriate documentation.

4.2.6.7		The Engineering Manager shall determine the amount of the progress payment, which shall be the total gross value of the Work, executed in accordance with Clause 4.2.6.1 less:

	i)		Any progress payments already made in respect of the Work for which the gross value was determined;

	ii)		hold back on the Adjusted Contract Sum;

	iii)		The amount of any payments which are overdue from the Contractor to any employees, agents, consultants, Subcontractors or Suppliers relating to the Work; and

	iv)		Any other proper withholding or deduction (including debts due from the Contractor to LGL).

		The Engineering Manager shall issue to the Contractor a copy of the Progress Claim showing the value certified and the adjustments (if any) made.

4.2.6.8		LGL shall pay the Contractor the net amount for payment to the Contractor shown on the Progress Claim within Thirty (30) days from the date of acceptance by the Engineering Manager of the Contractor’s Progress Claim.

4.2.6.9		All amounts due and payable to the Contractor shall be paid to the Contractor either by cheque at the place for payment nominated in Clause 1.8 (Total Project Data) or via electronic funds transfer into the Contractor’s nominated bank account,

4.2.6.10		If LGL shall be in default in making any payment, and if such default continues for seven (7) days after service of a notice in writing by the Contractor demanding such payment, then the Contractor shall be entitled to claim interest at the Contractor’s then current bank overdraft rate from seven (7) days after the date of such notice until payment is made.

4.2.6.11		The payment of monies shall not be taken as evidence against, or as an admission by, LGL that any Work or item of Work has been constructed or executed in accordance with the Contract, or of the value thereof, but shall be taken to be payment on account only.

4.2.6.12		By submission of each Progress Claim, the Contractor certifies that all employees, agents, consultants, Subcontractors and suppliers have been paid all amounts properly due to them relating to the Work and that the Contractor has notified LGL of all Claims of whatsoever nature that it may have against LGL arising out of circumstances occurring since submission of the Contractor’s previous Progress Claim. LGL shall not be liable to



Volume 3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 4 Page No 8

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

		the Contractor for any Claim of whatsoever nature with respect to which it has not been so notified.

4.2.6.13		If at any time the Contractor has not done something which it is required to do under the Contract (such as complied with a Site Instruction, provided Progress Reports, submitted Quotation Price Request forms or produced documents) LGL may withhold payments until such obligations are complied with and the provisions of Clause 4.2.6.10 shall not apply.

4.2.7		Variations

4.2.7.1		The Contractor shall vary the Work as directed in writing by LGL and no Variation shall vitiate this Contract. If at any time during the progress of the Work, LGL determines that the form, quality or quantity of the Work should be varied, LGL may require the Contractor to:

	i)		Increase, decrease or omit any part of the Work;

	ii)		Change the character or quality of the Work;

	iii)		Change the levels, lines, positions or dimensions of any part of the Work; or

	iv)		Execute additional work.

4.2.7.2		The Contractor shall vary the Work only upon receipt of a Contract Variation or a Site Instruction authorising the Variation to proceed on a Dayworks basis.

4.2.7.3		If a Variation to the Work is required by LGL, the Contractor shall be issued with a Site Instruction as per Appendix 5/C (Site Instruction) together with either a Dayworks sheet or a Quotation Price Request. If the Site Instruction is issued with a Dayworks sheet, the requirements of Clause 4.2.8 shall be followed. If the Site Instruction is issued with a Quotation Price Request, the procedure to be followed shall be as set out in Clauses 4.2.7.4 to 4.2.7.6.

4.2.7.4		Quotation Price Requests will be issued as per Appendix 5/H (Sheets 1 and 2) and generally in accordance with the Quotation Price Request flow chart, Appendix 5/I.

4.2.7.5		Upon receipt of the Quotation Price Request, the Contractor shall price the Variation at the rates included in the Schedule of Rates for Variations and Dayworks (Tender Form Appendix 10/B sheet 1) to the extent that such rates are applicable. If no such rates are applicable, the Contractor shall set out the labour and plant components of each item of the Variation and extend the quantities at the unit labour and plant rates applicable to the class of labour or plant involved as set out in the Schedule of Rates for Variations and Dayworks (Tender Form Appendix 10/B sheets 2 and 3) and shall set out the material cost components of each item of the Variation plus any Additional, Reasonable and Valid Charge for Procurement and Delivery to the Site (refer to Clause 4.5.9.1) of such material. All items shall be totalled to arrive at the total fixed price lump sum quotation.

4.2.7.6		The Contractor shall present the completed Quotation Price Request to the Engineering Manager within forty eight (48) hours of its issue and provide whatever explanations or details as may be required in order to satisfy the Engineering Manager that the quoted price is correct and reasonable. If any adjustments are agreed upon, such adjustments shall be noted on the Quotation Price Request. Once satisfied of the correctness and reasonableness of the Quotation Price, the Engineering Manager shall approve the Quotation Price Request for issue of a Contract Variation as per appendix 5/J and generally in accordance with the Contract Variation flow chart appendix 5/K). The approval of the Engineering Manager shall be in principle only and will be subject to checking the quantities and rates in detail. Acceptance of the quotation will only be



Volume 3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 4 Page No 9

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

		affected by the issue of a Contract Variation. The Contractor shall not proceed with the Variation until receipt by it of the Contract Variation.

4.2.7.7		If the Contractor and LGL do not agree upon the value of the Variation, LGL may have the Variation executed by others and if the Variation affects any of the Work not commenced or not completed, then that part of the Work or the remaining balance thereof, may also be deleted from the Contract at the full Contract value thereof and the Contractor shall not be entitled to claim any costs, loss or damage as a consequence of such deletion.

4.2.7.8		LGL may issue to the Contractor from time to time during the progress of the Work revised drawings or new details which may or may not involve Variations to the Work. All drawings and details will be issued to the Contractor by way of a Site Instruction. Should the Contractor come into possession of any revised drawings or new details without a Site Instruction, it shall immediately refer to the Engineering Manager for a Site Instruction.

4.2.7.9		Revised drawings or new details shall not form a part of the Contract nor shall they be used for execution of the Work unless accompanied by a Site Instruction authorising their use. If revised drawings or new details issued by LGL for the purpose of a Quotation Price Request affect any part of the Work in progress, the Contractor shall immediately refer to the Engineering Manager for directions.

4.2.7.10		Variations to the Work shall only be executed by the Contractor’s existing resources if such resources have the capacity to carry out the Variation, without impact on the Contract Schedule. In all other cases, the Contractor shall provide additional resources (the costs of which are included, or shall be deemed included, in the rates tendered by the Contractor in the Schedule of Rates for Variations and Dayworks — Appendix 10/B).

4.2.8		Dayworks

4.2.8.1		If the Engineering Manager issues a Site Instruction on the condition that a Variation is to proceed on a Dayworks basis, the Contractor shall immediately proceed with the Variation so directed and shall record the resources utilised on the first day, on the Dayworks sheets (Appendix 5/L) which are issued with the Site Instruction.

4.2.8.2		At the conclusion of the first days Work, the Contractor shall present to the Area Manager the completed Dayworks sheet for verification and approval, whereupon the Area Manager shall issue the Dayworks sheet for the following day’s Work. This procedure shall be repeated until completion of the Variation ordered.

4.2.8.3		Under no circumstances will the Area Manager verify or approve a Dayworks sheet other than an original Dayworks sheet issued for Dayworks on that day.

4.2.8.4		LGL shall not be liable to pay the cost of any Variation executed pursuant to a Site Instruction issued on the condition that the Variation is to proceed on a Dayworks basis, unless the Work is recorded, verified and approved as set out above.

4.2.8.5		Dayworks shall be priced as follows:

	i)		LABOUR shall be priced at the unit labour rates for Variations and Dayworks (Tender Form Appendix 10/B sheet 2) applicable to the class of labour engaged on the Work (excluding superintendence and administration).

	ii)		PLANT AND EQUIPMENT shall be priced at the unit plant and equipment rates for Variations and Dayworks (Tender Form Appendix 10/B sheet 3).



Volume 3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 4 Page No 10

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

iii)

MATERIAL shall be priced at the Contractor’s Actual Direct Cost plus any Additional Reasonable and Valid Charges for Procurement and Delivery (refer to Clause 4.5.9.1).

4.2.8.6		If the Schedule of Rates for Variations and Dayworks does not contain a rate necessary for pricing the Dayworks, a new rate shall be calculated based on the same method of calculation used to derive similar rates in the Schedule of Rates for Variations and Dayworks (Tender Form Appendix 10/B).

4.2.8.7		Dayworks shall only be executed by the Contractor’s existing resources if such resources have the capacity to carry out the Work, without impact on the Contract Schedule. In all other cases, the Contractor shall provide additional resources (the cost of which are included, or shall be deemed included, in the rates tendered by the Contractor in the Schedule of Rates for Variations and Dayworks — Appendix 10/B)

4.2.8.8		At the end of each Progress Claim period, when the extent of Dayworks for the period has been agreed upon, a Contract Variation shall be issued to adjust the Contract Sum by the value so agreed. This Contract Variation number shall be noted on subsequent Dayworks Progress Claims (Appendix 5/G, Sheet 4/4) but shall not be included in the Schedule of Variations (Appendix 5/G, Sheet 3/4).

4.2.9		Adjustments to the Schedule of Rates

4.2.9.1		If the Contract is a Schedule of Rates Contract, the quantities listed are provisional only and are estimates of the quantities of work required to execute the Work defined in the Original Scope of Work. Should the actual quantities required be different to the provisional quantities, the Contractor shall, as soon as the difference becomes apparent, but in any event, prior to including any additional quantities in a Progress Claim, submit a detailed quantity take off to the Engineering Manager who shall verify the quantities.

4.2.9.2		The amount payable to the Contractor for each item in the Schedule of Rates shall be determined by application of the Tender Rates to the actual quantity unless the actual quantity varies from the provisional quantity by more than in which case the following procedure shall apply:

	i)		where the actual quantity is greater than of the provisional quantity, the rate applicable to the quantity in excess of the of the provisional quantity shall be adjusted to reflect any change in the Actual Direct Costs of carrying out that additional quantity; and

	ii)		where the actual quantity is less than of the provisional quantity, the rate shall be adjusted to reflect any change in Actual Direct Costs of carrying out that quantity.

4.2.9.3		This Clause shall be read subject to the provisions of Clause 4.5.3 and shall not operate to defeat the intent and purpose of that Clause. All costs associated with the Original Scope of Work shall be deemed included in the Tender Rates, even if these costs are not described in any item description in the Schedule of Rates.

4.2.10		Goods or Services Provided by LGL

4.2.10.1		During the execution of Work, in addition to items specifically referred to in the Contract, various goods and services may be provided to the Contractor by LGL. The Contractor will be charged for such additional goods and services at LGL’s cost plus which shall be deducted from payments due to the Contractor as back charges or may be otherwise recovered as a debt due.

4.2.10.2		The provision of such goods and services shall be recorded on warehouse requisitions or agreed back charge forms.



Volume 3A Issue 1 October 2006 version 3		Section 4 Page No 11

Section 4 — General Conditions of Contract

4.2.11		Assignment and Subcontracting

4.2.11.1		The Contractor shall not assign, mortgage, charge or encumber this Contract or any part hereof, or any benefit or monies or interest hereunder, without the written approval of LGL.

4.2.11.2		The Contractor shall not Subcontract any section of the Work without the written consent of LGL. Any request by the Contractor to Subcontract any section of the Work shall nominate the proposed Subcontractor and shall include Key Personnel, Current Projects, Wages and Employment Conditions, Plant and Equipment details and safety and environmental information for the Subcontractor in the same form as those submitted by the Contractor at time of Tender and shall state whether any such items are in addition to, or replace, those items nominated by the Contractor in its Tender.

4.2.11.3		Approval to Subcontract any section of the Work shall not alter, in any way, the Contractor’s obligations and/or liabilities under the Contract.

4.2.12		Practical Completion

4.2.12.1		The Contractor shall give the Engineering Manager fourteen (14) days notice in writing of the date upon which the Contractor anticipates that Practical Completion will be reached. At the commencement of the fourteen (14) day period, the Contractor shall arrange with the Area Manager and any technical advisers to the Area Manager (such as electrical and mechanical inspectors) a preliminary inspection of the Work. The purpose of this inspection will be to prepare a provisional list of items requiring attention prior to Practical Completion. The Area Manager may add to this list as any other items become apparent prior to the Contractor applying for Practical Completion.

4.2.12.2		The purpose of these provisional lists is to assist the Contractor, but they shall not substitute for the Contractor’s own quality control, nor shall they replace the Practical Completion inspection by the Engineering Manager from which additional items may result.

4.2.12.3		When the Contractor is of the opinion that Practical Completion has been reached, the Contractor shall request, in writing, the Engineering Manager to issue a Certificate of Practical Completion. Within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of the request, the Engineering Manager shall give to the Contractor a Certificate of Practical Completion as per Appendix 5/M, stating the date of Practical Completion, or shall give the Contractor, in writing, the reasons for not issuing the certificate and detailing any matter which the Contractor should attend to before re-applying to the Engineering Manager for the issue of a Certificate of Practical Completion in the same manner as the original application.

4.2.12.4		The issue of a Certificate of Practical Completion issued pursuant to this Clause, shall not constitute approval of any Work or other matter in respect of which it is issued, nor shall it be taken as an admission by LGL of the due performance of the Contract, or any part thereof, or of the accuracy of any Claim or demand made by the Contractor, or of additional or varied Work having been ordered by LGL, nor shall any such Certificate negate or prejudice any of the rights or remedies of LGL. Following the issue of the Certificate of Practical Completion, the Contractor shall be entitled to claim a Progress Payment pursuant to Clause 4.2.6 for the full value of Work executed, which payment shall not be subject to the hold back. LGL however may, at its absolute discretion, hold back an amount sufficient to cover the full costs of any minor defects or omissions existing at the stage of Practical Completion, until all such items are rectified.

		The Contractor shall repair the membrane lining at its cost where the repairs are required due to damage made by the Contractor during the installation of the brick lining.

8.2.8.5.2		Mortar

		The mortar joints shall be in accordance with the Supplier’s design which will include the average design mortar joint thickness and maximum and minimum mortar joint thicknesses.

		All mortar joints shall be full and tight with no air inclusions or voids. The bricks shall be buttered on three sides and pressed into place. Excess mortar shall be cleaned off with a trowel and mortar surface finished. During the work, LGL or its inspector will have the right to request the Contractor to remove random bricks to ensure that mortar coverage is complete on the brick backside.

		The mortar mix, its application, and curing shall be made in strict accordance with the mortar manufacturer’s instructions. Mixed mortar life, as specified by the manufacturer, shall be strictly adhered to and not exceeded. Nothing shall be added to prepared mortar to extend its life beyond that specified by the manufacturer. Leftover mortar, not used within the prescribed hardening time, shall be discarded.

8.2.8.5.3		Bricks

		Damaged, broken or chipped bricks shall not be installed. LGL and the Contractor shall establish guidelines regarding the acceptance of marginally damaged bricks.

		Cutting of the bricks shall be done outside the Autoclave. The cuts shall be smooth and straight to provide a good bonding surface. The cuts shall be made with a brick cutting saw only. All residual water on the cut piece shall be wiped off with a clean dry rag.

		To prevent air moisture condensation, which would impair mortar quality, no bricks shall be laid when the temperature is less than 3°C above the ambient air dew point at the location where the refractory lining is being installed.

		The temperature of the brickwork must be maintained within the range of 10°C and 32°C until the mortar is set.

6.2.8.5.4		Nozzles

		before the end on the day the deficiency is identified. Failure of LGL to identify deficiencies shall not relieve the Contractor from its responsibility to repair or replace any areas found to be deficient.

		The Contractor shall satisfy LGL that the tests described have been performed according to the test method requirements, and that the test results meet or exceed the specification.

		The Contractor shall notify LGL at least 3 days in advance of readiness of each agreed upon witness point.

		Defective materials disclosed by testing shall be rejected and not used.

8.2.8.6.2		Mortar

		Samples of mixed mortar shall be randomly taken once per day during installation of the brick lining. Sufficient material shall be taken to make three 2.54 cm right cylinders from each mix. Consistency in taking the samples is important. The samples shall be uniformly cured at 20°C for seven days or 20 °C for 24 hours and 60°C for 16 hours.

		Following curing, the Contractor shall perform compressive strength in accordance with ASTM C579, method A and water adsorption tests in accordance with ASTM C413 on one of the cylinders from each batch. The compressive strength of the mortar samples shall be greater than 90% of the value specified by the supplier for that mortar type. If the sample fails the test, then the Contractor shall test a second sample. If the 2^nd sample also fails, then LGL and the Contractor shall evaluate the impact of the failed sample and, at its discretion, LGL may require the affected brick lining affected by the sub-standard mortar, reinstalled at no cost to LGL.

		Untested samples will be delivered by the Contractor to LGL clearly identifying the lot number, date manufactured, batch number, batch time/cure time, compressive strength, and water absorption as documented in the Contractor’s QA/QC documentation. LGL at its discretion and cost, may test additional cylinders to verify the Contractor’s QA/QC documentation.

8.2.8.6.3		Rejection

		If the workmanship is not in accordance with the supplier’s design and specification, this scoe of work, or the Contractor’s QCP, then LGL will require repairs or alterations to rectify the defect.

		If defects in the materials or workmanship are discovered after Practical Completion, they will be handled in accordance with the Defects Liability.

		Any omission or failure on the part of LGL to disapprove or reject any work or materials shall not be construed as an acceptance of any defective work or materials.

1. PROJECT DOCUMENT CONTROL (see QP1)

All copies of the Project Quality Plan for each project shall be controlled and issued by the Managing Director.

Where subcontractors’ procedures and/or inspection/test plans are submitted to YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA, they shall be treated as controlled documents, as part of the Project Quality Plan.

The Site Manager shall issue relevant extracts from the Project Quality Plan to the Site Supervisor, Quality Inspectors and subcontractors as controlled copies.

The Site Supervisor shall issue relevant ITP Checklists and work instructions to direct labour personnel as required and shall be responsible for updating such documents if revised pages are issued to him by the Site Manager.

All documents shall be issued in protective binders.

The Site Manager shall issue design plans to the Site Supervisor, and relevant extracts to subcontractors, as controlled copies.

The Site Manager shall check that Standards held by YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA AUSTRALASIA and subcontractors engaged for this project are up to date by insertion of all amendments. He shall also ensure that a copy of these Standards is available on the site during construction.

2. PURCHASED MATERIALS (see QP 5)

The Site Supervisor is responsible for receipt of incoming goods. This involves checking that supply orders are complete, identified and undamaged, and also that any required documentation such as certificates of compliance and test results are submitted by the supplier.

Any nonconforming products shall be clearly labeled by the Site Supervisor and kept separate from conforming products pending a decision on their disposal. The Site Supervisor shall keep records of such actions.

If conformance certificates are to be supplied with any product but have not been received by the time the product is to be installed, the Site Supervisor is to check with the Site Manager if it

Page 12 of 19


		York Forter Australasia Pty Ltd		Project Quality Plan YFA-039 Rev. 1 \| 16/06/08 S.Speers

is OK to use the product. If OK’d record exactly where the product is located in the job, for future traceability on daily inspection sheet YFA-021.

3. COMMENCEMENT OF WORK

As contractor, YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA is responsible for the following activities prior to commencement of work:

Arrange with Site Manager any clearance certificate required

Arrange with Site Manager for access permits, as required

Confirm with Site Manager that RL control marks are clearly identified for setting out the work.

4. CONTROLLING CONSTRUCTION PROCESSES (see QP12)

Inspection/Test Plans (ITPs) and Construction Checklists are provided to direct project staff on the “right” way to carry out and check work so that the specified product quality is obtained. Items to be checked may include receiving, in-process and final inspections, Details for test methods, frequency and acceptance criteria for final testing are referenced to YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA procedures in the Checklists. If a process is complex, unusual or where safety is a major concern, a detailed Work Instruction is also prepared as a guideline for the Site Supervisor (e.g. working in confined spaces).

ITPs and Construction Checklists for the project are listed on the PQP Summary form and attached behind it. The Site Supervisor should fill out each Checklist as each activity or check is completed. If a check does not pass, the Site Supervisor must rectify the problem (treating it as a nonconformance if necessary) before proceeding to the next construction activity.

Testing organisations are listed on the PQP Summary form.

After signing off all items on the Construction Checklist for each construction process, the Site Supervisor makes a final check that all work required have been satisfactorily completed and all testing has passed. Record that this check has been done and is OK by initialing the item in the YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA column on the ITP.

The Project Manager is responsible for signing off Hold and Witness Points in the YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA column on the ITP.

Project staff are encouraged to look out for and suggest opportunities for construction processes. If and difficulty is experienced in following an ITP, Construction Checklist or work instruction, notify the Site Manager.

		York Forter Australasia Pty Ltd		Project Quality Plan YFA-039 Rev. 1 \| 16/06/08 S.Speers

5. IDENTIFICATION AND TRACEABILITY (see QP6)

Under QA, we are required to provide written evidence that each part of the finished construction work has passed all inspections and tests. This means that we have to break up the project into discrete work areas or lots. The work area of lot number must be written on each construction Checklist and Test Report so that any problems can be identified back to their physical location.

6. MONITORING SUBCONTRACTORS (see QP4)

The Site Manager will advise what surveillance is needed for each subcontractor. This generally comprises inspecting work then signing off either the subcontractor’s checklist or our own checklists. Surveillance personnel are to maintain daily records of surveillance activities and notify the Site Supervisor of Site Manager of any nonconformance. Subcontracted activities which will require surveillance by YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA are indicated on the PQP Summary form.

7. CONTROL OF NONCONFORMING PRODUCT (see QP13)

Employees are required to carry out their work in such a manner as to prevent nonconformance. However, the Company recognises that nonconformance may occur from time to time within its own work and that of its subcontractors.

Site Supervisor Responsibility — evaluating nonconformance and deciding how to rectify them in the absence of the Site Manager, but subject to review by the Site Manager. Responsible for restricting further processing of nonconforming work until a rectification method has been finalised. Detection and rectification of minor defects.

Minor Defects — work acceptable for Practical Completion but needing minor finishing off prior to full acceptance.

Nonconformance — a deficiency in the work which makes the product unacceptable in terms of YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA design and construction requirements.

Minor Defects

Minor defects which are a normal part of construction and which get rectified in the normal course of events need not be documented as nonconformance. The Site Supervisor shall keep a

Page 14 of 19


		York Forter Australasia Pty Ltd		Project Quality Plan YFA-039 Rev. 1 \| 16/06/08 S.Speers

minor defects list (e.g. In Defects Notebook or Daily Diary). Rule out, initial and date each listed defect after that defect has been satisfactorily rectified.

Nonconformance in Construction

When nonconforming work is detected by Company personnel, the nonconformance shall be notified promptly to the Site Supervisor. The Site Supervisor shall also be advised if the Site Manager or YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA identifies a nonconformance. Actions to be taken are:

a)		Immediately arrange for the nonconforming work to be suitably identified by labels, flags, markers or other appropriate means to distinguish it from conforming work or materials. Wherever possible, physically isolate the nonconforming work.

b)		Immediately record the nature of the nonconformance on a Nonconformance Report NCR 001.

c)		Assess whether the construction process is likely to produce more nonconforming work and whether further output should be restricted. Consider the significance of the nonconformance and the progress of the project. Where appropriate, restrict production until a rectification for the nonconformance has been resolved and note this on the Nonconformance Report.

d)		Immediately examine the nature of the nonconformance and determine the appropriate method for rectifying the problem. This may be by rework, repair, replacement or use-as-is. Record the rectification method and when you intend to undertake it, on the Nonconformance Report.

e)		Where the proposed rectification involves a change from the design plans or YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA Standards, submit a copy of the Nonconformance Report to the Site Manager for concurrence to the rectification. Do not commence rectifying the nonconformance without the concurrence of the Site Manager (and from YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA; if applicable).

f)		Where the Site Supervisor has determined the rectification in the absence of the Site Manager, the Site Manager shall review the Nonconformance Report to determine if any further action is needed.

g)		The rework, repair or replacement shall be inspected or tested in accordance with the Inspection and Test Plan or as otherwise agreed with the Site Manager to ensure that the required qualify has been achieved. This shall be confirmed on the Nonconformance Report.

Page 15 of 19


		York Forter Australasia Pty Ltd		Project Quality Plan YFA-039 Rev. 1 \| 16/06/08 S.Speers

If required by YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA, a HOLD POINT shall apply prior to covering up rectification work. In such cases notify the Site Manager when the rectification work has achieved conformance.

Subcontractor Non conformances

For subcontractors working under YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA quality system, subcontractor nonconformance shall be resolved as described above.

Where a subcontractor is working under its own quality system, non conformances may be recorded on the subcontractor’s Nonconformance Report forms. The subcontractor shall notify YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA Site Manager or Site Supervisor if the nonconformance rectification involves a change from YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA Standards. The subcontractor’s proposed rectification shall be submitted to the Site Manager for acceptance by YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA.

File a copy of the subcontractor’s Nonconformance Report where YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA has been involved in resolving the nonconformance, but do not fill out a YORK FORTER AUSTRALASIA Nonconformance Report.

8. CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE ACTION (see QP13)

Where nonconforming work occurs or where the potential for nonconforming work becomes apparent, a review will be carried out to investigate the cause and determine appropriate actions, which will prevent future occurrence of the nonconformance. Any customer complaints will be reviewed in the same way. Employees should be encouraged to suggest opportunities for improving the quality system.

The Site Supervisor is to notify the Site Manager or Managing Director of any deficiencies with procedures or suggestions for improvement.

9. QUALITY RECORDS (see QP15)

The site Supervisor shall promptly file quality records at the site in lever-arch folders, grouped as follows:

•		Construction Processes — For each process, include ITP Checklists, test results and daily inspections separately for each lot or work area.

•		Supplied goods and Materials-For each supplier, include delivery dockets, receiving inspection records, certificates etc.

•		Nonconformance Records

•		Site Safety Records

10. VARIATIONS

Any variations necessary during construction must be referred back to the Designer to amend the design and submission for client approval before work proceeds. The Site Manager shall keep records of all such variations.

11. PROJECT QUALITY AUDITS (see QP11)

To ensure that our QA is operating effectively, quality audits are done on some jobs. If Project Audit is marked YES on the PQP Summary form, the Quality Manager will arrange a QA audit.

12. INDUCTION AND TRAINING (see QP16)

Employees are not to perform construction tasks unless competent for them. Certificates required for the project are listed on the PQP Summary form.

The project / safety manager is responsible for briefing employees on their specific roles and responsibilities at appropriate stages of each project and explaining how to follow the ITPs and Checklists.

Subject: MOPU-0035, MOPU-0063, and MOPU-1010, Knight ###-##-####, Autoclave Lining

Dear Mr. ,

Thank you and for your communications concerning the #4 Autoclave Project. We are pleased to update our proposal for the PNG Work Package (0035), the Malaysia Work Package (0063) and Internal Materials (1010) for the new #4 autoclave. Technical details concerning these offers are brought forward as attachments, from earlier letters.

OFFER SUMMARY

	•		Under MOPU 1010, all lining materials including titanium compartment walls and nozzle liners will be provided.

	•		Under MOPU0063, the PYROFLEX® RESIBOND® DuPly Membrane System will be installed at the fabricator shop in Malaysia before the autoclave shell ships.

	•		Under MOPU0035, the brick lining will be installed after the shell is in place at the Lihir PNG site.

LINING DESIGN AND SUPPLY, MOPU1010

The lining system as covered by MOPU1010 is as shown on the attached autoclave proposal drawing. Note that the cost of all membrane and brick lining materials is in the MOPU-1010 contract price. Freight to Brisbane for bricks and to Malaysia Port for the membrane system is offered as an optional item.

INSTALLATlON AND FIELD SERVICES

IN MALAYSIA, MOPU0063

PYROFLEX® 500 RESIBOND® DuPly™ Membrane System will be installed and spark tested by Koch Knight personnel and local labour working at the steel fabricator’s Malaysian shop. Tools and equipment including scaffolding will be rented from local suppliers. PYROFLEX Tool kits and any remaining materials at Malaysia will be shipped by LGL on to Lihir Island along with the autoclave shell. At the completion of the membrane installation, the crew will leave the area for the 16 weeks of transit and building erection time needed to complete the autoclave and its building. LGL requested that living costs for this crew be added, since no LGL accommodations are available in Malaysia. The costs of visas, work permits, accommodations and travel expense within Malaysia are shown as line items in the pricing tabulations.

IN LIHIR ISLAND, MOPU0035

Koch Knight personnel will provide quality control and the full time Koch Knight presence at the site. For the installation, Knight has included the services of York-Forter Australasia as our brick

installation subcontractor. The installation price from York-Forter is firm for work complete through 30 September 2011.

Note that the cost for 16 hours per worker of site safety training is now included in the York price. Knight will absorb this cost for our supervisors.

The recently (April 2009) released “Information for Foreign Companies Operating in Papua New Guinea” details commercial requirements for foreign company registration, visas and work permits, professional registration and insurance specifics. These items have been covered during the MOPU0035 Negotiation Table discussions with the resulting agreements covered in the meeting notes. Per those discussions our bids are now in compliance with these requirements. These agreements are also applicable for the MOPU0063 Malaysian work. These costs of meeting these requirements are given as additional items in this proposal.

Limited nonworking time (for example, during the Easter holiday 2011) is included for the YFA crew to remain continuously onsite during the course of the project. If the final schedule includes the Christmas holiday or another event that requires a site shutdown for a longer (3 days or more) time, a limited demob/remob (secure the site, travel out and back, open the site after the break) will be needed. A cost for this demob/remob is offered, and may be used if required by the schedule as updated by LGL from time to time.
