Example clause:
Option A: Lump Sum priced contract with activity schedule
The Contractor offers to provide the works described in the contract for a sum of money. The contract provides for certain risks to be carried by the Employer which will result in the lump sum being adjusted if the compensation events occur.
The activity schedule is normally written by the Contractor since he is the one who knows what
activities will be carried out. Each activity is priced as a lump sum by the Contractor which is the
amount paid when he has completed the activity. In pricing an activity, the Contractor takes
responsibility for estimating quantities and resources, and assessing and pricing risks that are his.
