A labor team asked: "If your project department has to deduct the fees of our subcontracted team because your project department did not declare it in the settlement, doesn't it seem unreasonable and overbearing?"
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Let me explain this.
On the surface, it does appear to be a bit overbearing and unreasonable, because it was our fault, but the consequences are reflected on you, and you are responsible for it.
What I can tell you clearly here is that first of all, our business personnel in the project department can do this and will never deliberately underreport the project quantity data of any of your companies in the settlement.
Secondly, we are also ordinary people, and it is difficult to guarantee that every data we give is 100% correct. Of course, we will adopt an audit mechanism to ensure that the accuracy of our project quantities is within the allowable range. The allowable error is 3%.
This 3% does not seem like much, for example:
Assume that the entire project has a contract amount of 100 million, and the allowed error of 3% is 3 million. All the contents of our settlement are correct, except for the steel and wood structure, which is 1,000 meters less in cost, with an average of 500 yuan per meter.
In other words, the matching settlement is undercalculated by 500,000 yuan. In this case, there is no problem with the accuracy of our matching settlement.
However, the settlement regulations affect the undercounted 1,000 meters of the steel-timber structure, and settlement cannot be processed in the future. Assuming that the entire steel-timber structure is only 2,000 meters long, then it has 50% of the engineering costs incurred.
Because the settlement declaration made by the project department was wrong, a reasonable settlement could not be obtained.
Therefore, I would like to emphasize to everyone that we must pay great attention to the settlement declaration work.
As long as our project department has received the supplier's settlement declaration documents before declaring the settlement work, we will arrange manpower to check the difference between the project quantity you declared and the quantity of work we declared. If the difference is small, we will
All are acceptable.
If the difference is large, we will immediately arrange personnel to fully communicate with your settlement preparer to find out the problem, so as to avoid the huge economic losses caused by the supplier due to settlement reasons."
A labor team asked: "Since we have to wait for the completion of the upper settlement before we can go through the written confirmation procedures for the lower settlement. Now the project department requires us to submit the settlement documents in time after the completion acceptance. In this case, our time is also very limited.
Nervous, is it necessary to do this?"
Zhang Yunqing answered: "We have discussed your concerns in the last meeting, and the result of the discussion is that forcing everyone to report settlement to us after completion acceptance is the most beneficial approach for both parties.
The main reasons are as follows:
1. Suppliers should declare settlement documents in a timely manner. The main management personnel of our project department are generally still on duty. During the settlement review work, if there are any disputes or opinions, the communication will be simple and clear. Both parties are aware of the situation.
, easy to reach agreement. It can ensure that the settlement content is more true and accurate.
However, once you wait for a long time, if the business personnel and production personnel of the project department are transferred or even resign, it will happen that someone who does not know the situation will review your settlement. At the same time, the relevant management personnel of the supplier may also be involved.
Changeable. When there are major changes in the personnel of both parties, it is very likely that the settlement results of both parties will be confusing, which is an extremely unfavorable situation for both parties.
2. Suppliers declare settlement documents in a timely manner, and can subjectively and proactively help the project department's settlement declaration personnel to review whether there are any major underreporting or omissions in the declared project quantities, and can proactively avoid settlement documents.
of under-reporting and omission, thereby protecting the supplier’s settlement interests.
In other words, doing so is beneficial to both Party A and Party B.
3. Suppliers submit settlement documents in a timely manner, and the project department will arrange for timely review. This can ensure the timely payment of the supplier's completion progress payment and settlement project payment, and shorten the supplier's payment collection time. Because completion progress payment is generally a payment ratio
has reached 80%, and when the finance department finds that your payment ratio has reached 80% when paying the supplier for the project, a corresponding settlement review form must be obtained. This is a rigid rule of finance."
A labor team asked: "The explanation of the unit price in our contract also seems a bit overbearing. For example, it includes safe and civilized construction fees, secondary transportation fees, formwork and scaffolding, night construction fees, garbage cleaning and expenses, etc.
What I want to ask is, Western construction generally has a bid price when bidding. Are these costs fully included in the comprehensive unit price of the bid price?"
Zhang Yunqing explained: “This issue of comprehensive unit price has been confirmed after discussion and research:
There is no problem with the content clearly included in the comprehensive unit price, but at the same time, our bidding list also lists some measure fees, such as: templates and scaffolding are listed separately in the form of list items, and the templates and scaffolding are listed separately.
Scaffolding costs are measured and priced separately. A very small amount of sporadic costs that are not listed can be understood to be included in the comprehensive unit price.
The biggest impact on safe and civilized construction costs is the color steel plate fence. For example, if you need to erect a 2,000-meter fence in the bid section, these costs will either be paid by us to the supplier, who will purchase and install them, and they will be included in the cost.
Settlement costs; or our project department arranges its own procurement and bidding, and will not forcibly package this large safety and civilized construction fee to the supplier. But you said that there is a fence cost of about ten meters, in this case it will usually be
Suppliers are required to bear their own responsibility.
The insurance payable and accidental injury insurance involved in the comprehensive unit price refer to the insurance that needs to be purchased by the supplier. Generally, the project department purchases group accidental injury insurance based on the entire project. The labor team and suppliers need to
Cooperate to provide the project department with the ID card information of workers working in this project.”
A labor team asked: "What does this fixed comprehensive unit price mean?"
Zhang Yunqing explained: "The fixed comprehensive unit price is one of the comprehensive unit prices in the engineering industry list, and the other is the adjustable comprehensive unit price, but it needs to meet the adjustment conditions for adjusting the comprehensive unit price agreed in the contract.
Our current standard construction contract templates all choose a fixed comprehensive unit price, which means that during the execution of your contract, no matter what the reason is, the comprehensive unit price agreed in this construction contract is fixed and will not be allowed to be adjusted.
Therefore, the comprehensive unit price for labor team and supplier settlement is also fixed.”
