Appendix I Model Form of Daywork/Daily Record Sheets

Sub-Clause 13.6 ‘Daywork’ requires the Contractor to submit each day to the Engineer details of resources utilised.

Additionally, there are many instances in the Contract where the keeping (and agreement) of daily records is crucial if the Contractor is to be properly reimbursed for his efforts. This applies particularly to those events where the Contractor is entitled to payment of Cost. Further, there will be other occasions, particularly relating to claims and their quantification, where accurate records of actual events would be beneficial.

Following is a proposed standard format which can be varied to suit the requirements of an individual site. These daywork/daily record sheets should be colour-printed in groups of five and bound in sets of 100 (20 × 5).

Each set of five would have a unique sequential number. This would help identify records that are not signed, not presented or simply ‘lost’ in the system.

The top copy and one other would be taken by the Engineer and the next two copies by the Contractor’s site office. These four copies would be perforated for separation. A fifth copy, unperforated, would be kept in the Contractor’s field office responsible for producing the record sheets.

It may happen that the Contractor’s supervisory staff are not fluent in the language of the Contract. Provided that Badge No./Fleet No./Material Codes are correctly recorded, together with the relevant quantities, the form can be conveniently completed by a junior staff member with the correct language skills.

The valuation of the individual sheets takes place in the Contractor’s site office. The quantum, whether for daywork or other purposes, can be sent to the Engineer as part of the monthly application for an Interim Payment Certificate or as part of a claim presentation, accompanied by a copy of the original, signed daywork/daily record sheet.
