Schedules of Rates Contract A Schedule of the work items without quantities (or inaccurate quantities; possibly with upper and lower probable limits) is prepared by the owner and /or A/E to be rated by the contractor.The descriptions of items and the units of measurement are similar to those used in a normal B.O.Q., but no quantities are given. It is common for separate rates to be quoted for labor, plant, and materials. Used for repair and maintenance works or under conditions of urgency.
