Pavement Surfacing Memorandum of Information Part B Page 5 of 18 D. Earthworks E. Traffic Management F. Traffic Calming Schemes G. Transportation Schemes H. Working with Services / Utilities I. Other associated ancillary works. Many of the work activities to be carried out will require the successful Economic Operator to employ and use skilled personnel and specialist equipment and resources associated with such work activities. For each Contract, the successful Economic Operator will be required to carry out any such works instructed by a Works Order issued under the provisions of the contract. Such works will require a standard of works delivery consistent with that defined in the Tender Documents. Reimbursement to the successful Economic Operator for such works will be paid to them generally on the basis of applicable rates and prices. Details of the contracts pricing mechanisms will be provided in the Tender Documents. For each Contract, it is likely that the successful Economic Operator will be required to work at more than 1 location at any 1 time in order to meet the requirements of TransportNI's programme of work. The Economic Operator will be expected to have sufficiently skilled and available resources necessary to meet the requirements of such a programme and will be required to include in his rates and prices for the inevitable peaks and troughs that will be inherent in any such programme. Such peaks and troughs may result from a variety of circumstances, not all within the control of TransportNI. The financial limits for individual Orders under Minor Improvement Works shall generally be between 15 001 GBP - 350 000 GBP (inclusive). Economic Operators should be advised that the Contracting Authority is under no obligation to issue any Works Order under this contract.
