Note: Refer to Clause 16.7 for definition of the above notations.

16.4 The cost sharing of horizontal elements shall include only the Permanent Bus Interchange level

and the level immediately above the Permanent Bus Interchange if there is such a level which could be deemed to serve as the roof to Permanent Bus Interchange other than the intended commercial or residential usage.

16.5 For the avoidance of doubts, horizontal elements other than those at the Permanent Bus

Interchange level (within the Permanent Bus Interchange boundary) and the level immediately above the Permanent Bus Interchange (within Permanent Bus Interchange boundary) shall be borne by the successful tenderer.

16.6 The cost apportionment formula for horizontal element in the Permanent Bus Interchange will

adopt the Load Distribution Method. LTA’s share in the cost for each individual horizontal element at individual level which is within the boundary of the Permanent Bus Interchange will be computed based on the formula below:

RLTA x Cost of Individual Horizontal Element

SCH-1-28

The individual horizontal element and the corresponding RLTA are defined as follows:

a. Slab and Beam, exclusive of Transfer Beam as defined in (c), at the level immediately above Permanent Bus Interchange and within the Permanent Bus Interchange boundary, if this level could be deemed to serve as the roof of Permanent Bus Interchange

c. Transfer Beam is a key structural element which mainly transfers the upper floor(s) loading, especially the concentrated column loadings, to the structural elements beneath its level due to the discontinuity of the column. When Transfer Beam is located at the Permanent Bus Interchange level and the level immediately above Permanent Bus Interchange, the corresponding RLTA is defined as

Note: Refer to Clause 16.7 for definitions of the above notations. 16.7 For the purpose of calculating the cost apportionment, the following notations shall apply:

RLTA : Ratio of cost apportionment to be born by LTA

BIDL = Total Dead Load at Permanent Bus Interchange Level, inclusive of Self Weight

of structural members and Superimposed Dead Load, e.g. floor finishes, partitions, ceiling/services, etc. (Unit: kN)

BIroofDL = Total Dead Load at the level immediate above Permanent Bus Interchange,

inclusive of Self Weight of structural members and Superimposed Dead Load of floor finishes and ceiling/services (Unit: kN)

BILL = Total Live Load at the Permanent Bus Interchange Level (Unit: kN)

BIroofLL = Total Live Load at the level immediate above the Permanent Bus Interchange

(Unit: kN)

BIIDL = Intensity of Dead Load or the equivalent at the Permanent Bus Interchange

Level, inclusive of Self Weight of structural members and Superimposed Dead Load, e.g. floor finishes, partitions, ceiling/services, etc. (Unit: kN/m

BIroofIDL = Intensity of Dead Load or the equivalent at the level immediate above the

Permanent Bus Interchange, inclusive of Self Weight of structural members and Superimposed Dead Load of floor finishes and ceiling/services (Unit: kN/m

BIroofILL = Intensity of Live Load at the level immediate above the Permanent Bus

Interchange (Unit: kN/m2)

BIILL = Intensity of Live Load at the Permanent Bus Interchange Level (Unit: kN/m2)

Area = The Loading Area by the relevant Transfer Beam (Unit: m

TotalLoad = the accumulated total load carried at the base of column or the soffit of

pilecap, or by the Transfer Beam (Unit: kN)

16.8 LTA’s share in the cost for site clearance, anti-termite treatment, piling equipment and testing, will be computed based on the ratio of Constructed Floor Area (CFA) of the Permanent Bus Interchange, over CFA of the overall development.

16.9 The cost of basement construction, including excavation, temporary retaining walls, strutting,

shoring and working platform, instrumentation and monitoring, basement wall and slab, water proofing, and whatever beneath the Permanent Bus Interchange level shall be fully borne by the successful tenderer.

16.10 The cost apportionment of other elements is as follows:

Item Description Remarks

a Rainwater goods Separate Cost for the Permanent Bus Interchange

b Architectural Works Within the Permanent Bus Interchange boundary

c External Works Based on the Permanent Bus Interchange frontage

d M & E works Separate Cost for the Permanent Bus Interchange

16.11 The successful tenderer shall submit the relevant Architectural, Civil and Structural, M&E

Drawings of the Permanent Bus Interchange and the detailed breakdown of cost apportionment for LTA’s approval.
