Non-Technical Provisions

Non-technical provisions also include the engineer s construction cost estimate which is a designer s prediction regarding the probable cost of a construction project (Choi 2004). Because of liability concerns, some design professionals use the expression opinion of probable cost. This cost estimate, or whatever it is called, should remain confidential until after the bid opening. 

Supplemental conditions, which are also called special provisions, are extensions of the general conditions and address site-specific requirements and other idiosyncrasies of a project. Examples include special times when work may proceed, specific insurance and bonding requirements, daily damages for delays, permits that will be needed, hourly wages to be paid, temporary facilities to be provided, and the need for security personnel. 

The client, owner, or customer may require that bids be submitted in a specific format or fashion. This leads to the engineer developing bid forms that will be completed by bidders. Similarly, special instructions to bidders may be prepared to explain steps in the bidding process such as how to obtain a set of bidding documents, place and time to submit a proposal, withdrawal of a submitted bid, and conditions under which proposals could be rejected.

While this provision clearly confirms singular legal personality for Cyprus at the international level, it retains the theory of two sovereign entities when analysed from within. It is also interesting to note that the more usual word of state union for this kind of construction was, in the end, replaced by the non-technical term partnership , avoiding the need to take a view on the precise legal nature of this arrangement. 

The CTD is organised into five modules. A schematic representation of the stmcture and hierarchy is shown in Figure 6.1. Module 1 is designed to contain region-specific information such as application forms and other administrative provisions that may apply. As such, it is not harmonised and is not considered part of the CTD. The other four modules present the technical data in a harmonised format. Module 2 should contain critical overview assessments of the quality, non-dinical and clinical data, together with summaries of the non-clinical and clinical data. The objective of this section is to provide reviewers with an introduction to the submission, and to orient... 

The latter deadline is set nearly 20 years after the ministerial call for a new chemicals policy in the EU. Above 10 t, a Chemical Safety Report with data on a relatively large set of parameters, including data on intrinsic properties, exposure scenarios and risk management measures, is to be included in the registration (Article 14, Annex 1). For substances in quantities of 1-10 t, a technical dossier with more basic data (Article 10) is stated to be sufficient. Concerning so-called non-phase-in substances , i.e. basically those not being produced or marketed before REACH, the registration provisions entered into force on 1 June, 2008 (Article 141). 

Under the general provisions of novelty, non-obviousness and utility/technical applicability the following examples of biological subject matter with biomedicinal applications may be considered as patentable. For products which also occur in nature, this applies to a form which is isolated from nature or changed from how they exist in nature. See also Table 9 for country-specific exclusions. 

Each State Party has the right to request an on-site challenge inspection of any facility or location in the territory or in any other place under the jurisdiction or control of any other State Party for the sole purpose of clarifying and resolving any questions concerning possible non-compliance with the provisions of this Convention, and to have this inspection conducted anjrwhere without delay by an inspection team designated by the Director-General [of the Technical Secretariat] and in accordance with the Verihcation Annex. 

LAND 125 Phase 2B (SE v.l) - this was the Interim Capability originally scoped nnder the Parallel Path strategy. This was intended to provide a range of discrete (non-integrated) equipment solutions with little if arty technical integration planned, as human factors issues were expected to be dealt with by the soldier. The SE v. 1 addressed dismoimted infantry capability shortfalls through the provision of equipment previously provided to Special Forces and proven effective (Hill, 2005). 

The treaty requires that chemical attacks should be investigated, and that the victims of such attacks should be assisted (including states parties that feel threatened by activities prohibited under the treaty). It obligates all states parties to proffer assistance, establishes a voluntary fund for this purpose, and indicates procedures for the rapid provision of detection systems, protective equipment, medical antidotes, advice and other assistance. Should the Technical Secretariat uncover evidence of non-compliance, the Executive Council must first consult with the states concerned, and, if necessary, set deadlines for corrective action to be taken. Should these measures prove insufficient, the Executive Council may refer the matter to the Conference of the States Parties, which may decide to recommend a collective response. In cases of particular gravity , the Conference is required to bring the issue before the UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council.
