Other Authorities and Stakeholders. The Consulting Engineer shall identify all authorities and stakeholders who should be consulted about the design and implementation of this project and the degree to which liaison with each is expected. In addition, the Consulting Engineer shall compile a list of the relevant persons, their capacity to act for such authority or body and their contact details, with whom liaison must take place but shall not commit to any meetings without first engaging the Client to confirm how and when such meetings should be held. Where the Project traverses land under the control of a Tribal (Traditional) Authority then the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform is to be notified and a determination and record of which officer is responsible for the area affected must be made. Where a Project Liaison Committee (PLC) has not been established as a community structure, the Client under the guidance of the Consulting Engineer will establish s a PLC within the boundary concerned. During the development of the design and the construction phases the Consulting Engineer shall continue these same liaison duties, including representing the Client if so authorised and providing the Client with written records of all liaison meetings and conversations. Allowance has been made for these requirements in the Pricing Schedule under Additional Duties.
