JBCC Minor Works Contract 23: Tips and Best Practices



Construction Information in JBCC is defined as all information issued by the principal agent and/or agents including the contract documents, specifications, drawings, schedules, notices and contract instructions required for the execution of the works.

It must be noted that JBCC provides no guidance on what is required in terms of a schedule of outstanding information or a programme. It simply obligates the contractor to furnish the programme to enable the principal agent to monitor the progress of the works and to furnish the progress updates and schedule of outstanding information to avoid delays. The word schedule is however indicative of a plan showing intended dates or times for certain events.


The difference between the penultimate certificate and a normal certificate for a progress payment is that half the retention is now released. Retention is a percentage of the amount certified as due to the contractor that is retained by the client to ensure that the contractor properly completes the works. So for example if the total retention was 5%, then 97.5% of the amount owed will become payable once the penultimate certificate has been issued, rather than 95% under a normal progress payment.


Competition within the acute care sector as well as increased penetration by managed care organizations has influenced the structure and role of academic health centers during the past decade. The market factors confronting academic health centers are not dissimilar from conditions that confront other organizations competing in mature industries characterized by declining profitability and intense rivalry for market share. When confronted with intense competition or adverse external events, organizations in other industries have responded to potential threats by forming alliances, developing joint ventures, or merging with another firm to maintain their competitive advantage. Although mergers and acquisitions dominated the strategic landscape in the healthcare industry during the past decade, recent evidence suggests that other types of strategic ventures may offer similar economic and contracting benefits to member organizations. Academic health centers have traditionally been involved in network relationships with multiple partners via their shared technology, collaborative research, and joint educational endeavors. These quasi-organizational relationships appear to have provided a framework for strategic decisions and allowed executives of academic health centers to select strategies that were competitive yet closely aligned with their organizational mission. The analysis of factors that influenced strategy selection by executives of academic health centers suggests a deliberate and methodical approach to achieving market share objectives, expanding managed care contracts, and developing physician networks.
