be used in any other type of contract without consideration of its suitability under the prevailing

circumstances.

1.2 STRUCTURE OF THE SPECIFICATION

This Specification includes a series of annexures that detail additional requirements.

1.2.1 Road Network and Assets

The Assets to be maintained comprise a mature road network and generally include the constituent

components of the Road Network. The Road Network is defined in Annexure M1/A.

The Assets included in the Services are generally located within the road corridor of the Road

Network. In addition, specific assets defined in Annexure M1/A A4 are also included as part of the

Assets. Some maintenance activities are only included in the Services if located within the Nominal

Work Limits (NWLs). The NWLs are defined in Annexure M1/A A5 and A6.

1.2.2 Maintenance Activities

The Maintenance Activities related to the provision of the Services are defined in Annexure M1/B for

Ordered Work and in TfNSW M3 Annexure M3/B for Routine Services. Payment for the Services is

in accordance with the General Conditions.

1.2.3 Schedules of Identified Records

The records listed in Annexure M1/C are Identified Records for the purposes of TfNSW Q4M.

1.2.4 Planning Documents

The PROJECT QUALITY PLAN must include each of the documents and requirements listed in

TfNSW QA Specification Q4M and must be implemented.

In all cases where this Specification refers to the manufacturer’s recommendations, these must be

included in the PROJECT QUALITY PLAN.

1.2.5 Referenced Documents

Annexure M1/M lists the documents referenced in this Specification.

Unless otherwise specified, materials and workmanship must be in accordance with Specifications and

drawings, and thereafter the Australian Standards. Standards, specifications and test methods are

referred to in abbreviated form (e.g. AS 1234). Unless otherwise specified, the applicable issue of a



2 Ed 6 / Rev 1

referenced document, other than a TfNSW Specification, is the issue current at the date one week

before the closing date for tenders, or where no issue is current at that date, the most recent issue.

1.3 DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS

Some words and phrases have special meanings in this Specification. In some cases, the defined

meaning is different from the meaning that the word or phrase might have in ordinary usage. In order

to understand the Specification, the Service Provider needs to take these special meanings into

3.2 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Traffic management at Worksites must be carried out in accordance with TfNSW QA

Specification G10 or TfNSW QA Specification G10M as appropriate. Where necessary, effective

traffic management must be provided, by:

interfering with or obstructing the free flow of traffic on any lane or shoulder of a road without

considering the road access restrictions which are defined in Annexure M1/A A3..

The Road Occupancy License (ROL) requirements are specified in TfNSW QA Specification G10M.

Road access restrictions may apply under specific circumstances and where they are applicable the

work must be carried out in accordance with

The Traffic Management Centre (TMC) is responsible for maintaining the road traffic operations at

traffic operations at maximum efficiency the Service Provider must nominate a person who will be

responsible for the traffic management of the road network. As a minimum, the nominee will be
