Providing Cashflow Support to Consultants Due to Impact of COVID-19

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some construction projects could be delayed and subjected to further reviews. The unexpected extension of construction contract periods has led to additional works and affected the cashflow of consultants as payment milestones are now stretched over a longer period of time.

To address these difficulties faced by consultants, the Government has provided various support measures to consultants:
✅ The Job Support Scheme (JSS) helps employers retain local employees by helping to offset their wages.
✅ Government agencies provides ex-gratia payments to consultants for services rendered for evaluation of contractors’ COVID-19 claims.
✅ Government agencies have also been given the flexibility to issue more regular payments in between payment milestones in light of lengthened project durations.

We also encourage BE sector clients, such as private developers and contractors in Design and Build projects, to adopt similar measures mentioned above.

Clients can take into consideration additional work scopes taken on by consultants due to the pandemic, beyond certification of COVID-related claims, and provide payment accordingly.

Further Simplified Claim Process for Prolongation Costs in Public Sector Construction Contracts due to COVID-19 Events

MOF and BCA have introduced a further simplified approach for non-manpower related prolongation cost claims to public sector construction contracts with contract value above $100million.

Government agencies will provide a base $100,000 for every month of certified delay due to COVID-19 as payment for cost sharing of non-manpower related cost increases under Part 8B of COTMA. No substantiation from contractors is required to accompany the claim for this base $100,000.

This is in addition to BCA’s circular dated 27 Apr 2021 on the simplified approach for non-manpower related prolongation cost claims, which provides a base 0.1% of awarded contract sum for every month of certified delay, for eligible contracts with awarded contract sum up to $100 million.

Streamlining Antigen Rapid Test (ART) Regime at Worksites

🏗 More than 50 worksites have piloted ART since 31 May. BCA has collected data and feedback from the pilot sites and will be streamlining the ART regime at worksites to make it easier for contractors to administer.

Key Revisions to ART Regime:
- Workers/visitors at small worksites (i.e. less than 20 non-dorm workers/visitors daily) and Singaporeans/PRs accessing worksites can:
✅ Administer ART on site, or
✅ Remotely administer ART at home with virtual supervision done via video call with ART supervisor

- If ART supervisors are able to at all times keep a 3m distance from those conducting self-swab, reduced PPE requirements may be adopted:
✅ Wear surgical 3-ply face mask; and
✅ Wear face shield

Ensure List of Workers Deployed to Construction Projects/Supply Works Premises is Updated

We would like to remind all main contractors to ensure that their lists of workers deployed to construction projects/supply works premises are updated (including workers from sub-contractors). This is to avoid any AccessCode issues, unnecessary RRT reminders if they are no longer working at the said premise/project site and facilitate contact tracing if needed.

In order to ensure that the lists of workers on premises are up to date, BCA will re-instate an additional check for firms submitting new or modified restart applications starting from 26 July 2021. As such, please allow for 2-3 working days for the processing of applications.

We seek your cooperation to ensure the safety of our workers and worksites.

确保及时更新建筑工程或建筑材料供应场地的工人名单

建设局在此提醒所有总承包商，务必确保及时更新建筑工程/建筑材料供应场地的工人名单（包括分包商的工人名单）。这是为了避免工人遇到通行码（AccessCode）有关的状况，以及方便有关当局加快病例接触者的追踪工作。此外，这也能避免工人因不在上述场所或工地工作却接收不必要的轮流定期检测（RRT）通知。

为了确保业者提供最新的工人名单，建设局将从2021年7月26日起，对所有提交全新或经修订的重启工程申请表进行额外的检查。因此，审批流程需要2到3个工作日的时间来完成相关的检查。

我们寻求您的合作，以确保工人和工作场所的安全。

Reminder to remain vigilant and ensure Safe Management Measures (SMM) compliance

There have been new cases of COVID-19 infection involving workers from the construction sector in Singapore. BCA urges firms to be extra vigilant to prevent potential disruptions to works or industry-wide shutdown should the situation worsen.

🅰️ SMMs to comply with include the following:
✅ Ensure only permitted persons who do not exhibit symptoms of COVID are on-site
✅ Ensure all persons on-site have undergone at least one swab test and tested negative for COVID-19 within 14 days before entering the site
✅ Ensure all persons perform TraceTogether only SafeEntry check-in
✅ Ensure only AccessCode “Green” workers are on-site
✅ Ensure all personnel on-site wear a mask at all times except during activities that require masks to be removed (e.g. mealtimes)

🅱️ With effect from 16 August 2021, there will be additional requirements for the industry to:
✅ Check the vaccination status of a person before permitting the person to enter into a worksite;
✅ Ensure unvaccinated persons wear a unique visual identifier at all times when they are on-site
✅ Ensure SMO/SDO closely supervises unvaccinated persons at all times when they are on-site so as to ensure unvaccinated persons comply with SMM

[Updated] These requirements are consistent with measures which the industry has been practising. For example, workers/visitors wearing different coloured vests while on site. All these measures allow the SMO/SDO to efficiently supervise all workers to ensure compliance with worksite SMM, including during breaks or swab testing and to reduce inter-mixing between grips at worksites.

Let’s keep our worksites safe together.

提醒大家保持警惕，严格遵守安全管理措施

最近本地出现几起建筑业工人感染冠状病毒的新病例。建设局敦促建筑业者提高警惕，以防止病毒在工地传播造成工程被令停工或建筑业全面停工的情况发生。

🅰️ 要遵守的安全管理措施包括:
✅只允许没有出现感染冠病症状的获准人员进入工地；
✅确保所有准备进入工地的人员在进入工地前的14天内，至少接受过一次聚合酶链式反应（PCR）拭子检测，而且检测结果呈阴性，才允许进入工地；
✅确保所有人员使用合力追踪（TraceTogether）应用程序,或携手防疫器/蓝色通行证（BluePass）防疫器在SafeEntry系统登记入场；
✅确保只有持有绿色通行码的工人进入工地；
✅确保所有在工地的人员时刻戴好口罩，只有在进行需摘下口罩的活动时（如用餐时间）才可除下。

🅱️从2021年8月16日起，建筑业者还需遵守额外规定:
✅在允许任何人员进入工地之前，需检查该人员是否已完成冠病疫苗接种；
✅确保尚未完成冠病疫苗接种的人员，在工地时应时刻佩戴独特识别标志；
✅确保安全管理专员/安全距离专员时刻密切监督工地上那些未接种疫苗者，确保他们严格遵守安全管理措施。

[更新] 这些规定与建筑业一直以来采取的防疫措施是一致的，例如规定工人/访客在工地时穿上彩色背心。这些措施有助安全管理专员/安全距离专员有效地监督工人/访客，确保他们遵守工地的安全管理措施，包括在休息时间或进行拭子检测时保持安全距离，减少跟区隔开来的工人在工地接触交流。

让我们合力保障建筑工地的安全。

Commencement Of The COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020 [COTMA] – Part 10A (Reliefs For Construction Contracts Affected By Increase In Foreign Manpower Salary Costs)

Part 10A of the COTMA will commence on 6 August 2021. It was passed in the Parliament on 11 May 2021 to provide contractors relief for increase in foreign manpower salary costs incurred from 1 Oct 2020 to 30 Sep 2021.

For eligible construction contracts, contractors should discuss with their clients to reach a mutually agreeable cost-sharing arrangement to address foreign manpower (i.e. Work Permit Holders) salary cost increases.

If the discussion is unsuccessful, contractors can apply for an Assessor’s determination to adjust the contract sum of the eligible construction contracts. The Assessor will take into account all the facts, including the loss suffered or benefit obtained by any contractual party in respect of foreign manpower salary cost increases, such as Foreign Worker Levy (FWL) rebates received.

Public Sector Approach for COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020 [COTMA] Part 10A – Reliefs For Construction Contracts Affected By Increase In Foreign Manpower Salary Costs

The COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020 [COTMA] Part 10A has commenced on 6 August 2021. Part 10A is premised on negotiation between contract parties to reach a mutually agreeable cost-sharing arrangement to address foreign manpower (i.e. Work Permit Holders) salary cost increases.

🏗 Approach for Public Sector Construction Contracts

📆 From 1 October 2020 to 30 April 2021
The public sector will take a proactive stance by offering a base 1.3% of monthly progress payment to address foreign manpower salary costs increase for eligible construction contracts under COTMA Part 10A. Contractors that have incurred foreign manpower salary costs increase more than the industry average of 1.3% monthly progress payment can still put up their proposed adjustment to the Contract Sum to the respective GPE for negotiation.

🏗 Approach for Private Sector Construction Contracts
Private sector contract parties (including subcontracts) are encouraged to adopt similar methods to minimise the time and resources spent in negotiation.

We hope any negotiations that contract parties have to undertake can be resolved amicably. BCA will also continue to monitor and review the impact of increased foreign manpower salary costs.

公共部门对COTMA 第10A部分（为那些因外籍劳工成本攀升而受影响的建筑业者提供建筑合同方面的援助）的应对措施

COTMA第10A部分已于2021年8月6日生效。第10A部分的前提是让各方通过协商，进行双方同意的成本分担安排，以应对聘用外籍劳工成本的增加 。

🏗 公共部门的应对措施

📆 2020年10月1日至2021年4月30日期间
公共部门将主动为符合条件的建筑合同提供从2020年10月1日至2021年4月30日期间，每月进度付款的1.3 %为基础，以应对因冠病疫情导致聘用持工作准证外籍劳工的成本增加。承包商若因外籍员工薪金成本攀升而支付超过业界平均的每月进度付款的1.3 %，仍可向相关公共部门提出调整合约金额的建议，进行协商。

🏗 私人领域建筑合同的处理方式
尽管这一做法适用于公共部门的建筑合同，但我们鼓励私人领域合同（包括分包合同）采取类似的做法，以减少可能花费在协商上的时间和资源。由于冠病疫情是前所未有的，而且各方都会在一定程度上受到影响，我们希望各方能够团结一致，就项目达成和睦的结果。
