No, it does not. Essentially it means that whatever quantities of work are found are paid on a quantity x rate basis, REGARDLESS of :
- physical conditions found (as 60.1(12) deleted);
- of weather encountered (as 60.1(13) deleted);
- of amount of quantity change (as 60.4 deleted);
- whether the change in quantities is on the critical path (as 60.5 deleted);
- errors both with the BoQ and between it and different documents (as 60.6 deleted).
So I question why you want to enter into a contract with the risk skewed this way. I would check the quantities very carefully and, as there is no Site Information to determine the ground conditions, be very sure of what might be in the ground.
As an 'aside', deletion of clause 10.1 in its entirety renders the contract inoperable as there is no general statement that you have to act in accordance with it !
