NEC ECC: Option C Schedule of Cost Components - Charges under NEC3

$

When SoCC 4.43 is used in an Option C contract, what is the definition of 'payments'?

I am currently working with an amended form that adds additional items to 4.43 (from 4.44) which the contractor can receive 'payments for'. These include:

(j) medical facilities and first aid
(k) sanitation
(l) security
(m) copying
(n) telephone, telex, fax, radio and cctv
(o) surveying and setting out
(p) computing
(q) hand tools not powered by compressed air

How would these payments be calculated?

Currently the contractor is placing them as lump sums, ie a full cost of a laptop, full cost of mobile phones etc. I feel it isn't fair to pay a full value of these items, but a payment should be proportion depending on the scheme programme/value (originally 24 week programme/under £450k Target Cost) as it is reasonable that these items will be used again.

At the moment, I am deducting a portion of the lump sum as a Disallowed Cost.

Thoughts?
