New clarification added: Clarification:Subject: Clarification Request Regarding Membrane Thickness Beneath Canal LiningDear UNOPS Team,With reference to the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) and Technical Specifications for the subject project, specifically the item stating:"Providing machinery, equipment, and all required materials for laying a 1.0 cm thick membrane layer in the canal section beneath the lining,"we kindly request clarification regarding the specified membrane thickness.The BOQ indicates a membrane thickness of 1.0 cm (10 mm). However, in similar irrigation canal rehabilitation and lining projects, membrane thicknesses are typically specified in millimeters, with 1.0 mm being a commonly adopted thickness. Therefore, the stated thickness of 10 mm appears unusual and may significantly affect the selection of materials, procurement requirements, installation methodology, and bid pricing.Accordingly, we kindly request clarification on the following:Please confirm the correct membrane thickness required for this project (1.0 mm or 1.0 cm (10 mm)).If the required thickness is indeed 1.0 cm (10 mm), please provide the complete technical specifications of the membrane, including:Material type (HDPE, PVC, Geomembrane, or equivalent);Density and thickness requirements;Tensile strength and elongation properties;Permeability characteristics;Jointing/welding and overlap requirements;Installation and quality control procedures.This clarification is essential to enable us to prepare accurate and competitive offers and to ensure execution in accordance with the project requirements.We appreciate your support and look forward to receiving your clarification.Kind regards,UNOPS REPLY:Please note that UoM for this item was amended through amendment no. 2 (which will be published very soon)
