S310 Supply of Dense Graded Asphalt – Annexure
COMMENTARY
USING THE DOCUMENTS
The latest edition of this annexure can be obtained by down loading from the Brisbane City Council
internet site (www.brisbane.qld.gov.au) via the following path: Planning and building › Planning
guidelines › Subdivision and Development Guidelines › Annexures to reference specifications for Civil
Engineering work. The user can either mark up a paper copy to suit the proposed contract or edit the
file direct in Microsoft Word 2010 (or later). Please note that the section and page breaks in the
Microsoft Word file have been inserted to suit double-sided printing.
This annexure forms part of a two-part specification system. The corresponding reference
specification and this annexure must be incorporated in the tender documents either by reference
alone (quoting an edition date) or both by reference and physical inclusion.The annexure modifies the
reference specification by additions, deletions or amendments and takes precedence over any
inconsistent provisions in the reference specification. In particular, the annexure adapts the reference
specification to the technical needs for the particular project. However the user may, alternatively,
employ a ‘Job Specification’ to convey job-specific information. If both annexure and job specification
are used, the job specification takes precedence.Because of the job-specific nature of the annexure, it
is important to identify the project adequately in the header to the annexure or in the text of each
section (either by description or by a contract serial number).
CONTRACTUAL PROVISIONSThe reference specification and annexure deal only with
technical and administrative matters. They do not deal with commercial arrangements. It is most
important that they are used in conjunction with an adequate contract, which makes all necessary
commercial arrangements including provisions for measurement of work and methods of payment.

days of completion of each test.
SAMPLES (Clause 2.3)
The reference specification requires the supplier to submit 50 kg samples of each type of material on

SUPPLIER’S SUBMISSIONS (Clause 2.4)
The reference specification requires the supplier to submit their inspection and test program for
process control testing on request. Specify if this is required before commencing supply of materials
under the Contract. (Note: It is also possible to request past test records but this is probably best
done after the inspection and test program is submitted so you know how much record to ask for.)
