520			_aConsiders the relationship between MMHW and contract documents for highway works. Cites specifically the "ICE conditions of contract", which is being dropped by the Highways Agency (HA) in favour of their design and build conditions for all major improvement schemes. The HA uses the "Engineering and Construction Contract" for nearly all other works. The "Specification for Highway Works", contained in the "Manual of contract documents for highway works", is intended to be used on all highway contracts. Draws together the relationship between the conditions of contract, the specification, notes for guidance, the drawings and bills of quantities. Concludes that each of the contract documents has a different role to play, so it is vital that the content of each of the documents is restricted to only the information it is required to contain. Overlap and duplication of content between the various documents must be avoided if clear and unambiguous contract documents are to be achieved. Flowcharts.
