Handling of printed emails

1. When there are more than one attachment, identify whether they belong to one submission or several submissions each bearing its own serial number or date (e.g., letters, site memos, proposed variations, instructions, variation quotations, payments, minutes, regular reports, etc.).
2. Separate between different submissions by staples or clips.
3. Arrange different submissions according to the dates stated on them (not the dates received).
4. Within the same submission, arrange the attachments in logical sequence, usually covering letter or site memo at the front and drawings at the back. Descriptive documents are usually in the middle. Summaries may be put before or after the details depending on the authors. Follow the specific contents page or the list of items stated in the email. Do not follow the order of the attachments to the email because they have no logical sequence.
5. Fold thin A3 attachment (say, not exceeding 5 pages) forward from right to left along the centre line into A4 size, and then fold the top flap from left to right along the centre line into half A4 size. 
6. Fold thick A3 attachment backward from right to left keeping the edge clear from the left punch holes.
7. Stamp the date received on the top right hand corner of each separate submission received (but no need for different parts of the same submission which are not supposed to be taken out for use separately).
8. Stamp the date received on the top right hand corner on each programme and on the bottom right hand corner on each drawing because they may be filed or taken out for use separately.
9. Mark near the date chop the relevant instruction numbers.
10. Stamp neatly and clearly at a blank space.
11. Do not stamp on submissions emailed by our office unless they are returned with emails received.
12. Write on the emails simple reference numbers and dates of those separate submissions which are filed not immediately after the relevant emails to enable future tracing.
13. Initial neatly on the bottom left corners of the emails after arranging the emails and attachments.
14. File the emails directly in the appropriate email sub-folders of the relevant projects.
15. If the emails are printed by somebody other than the relevant team members, file the emails under the "00Printed" email folder for subsequent filing by the relevant team members. 
16. Distribute the printed emails once every half-an-hour to the relevant project team members for reading.
17. Circulate within the relevant team starting from the director to the assistant. If any person is absent, pass on to the next one present.
18. Read and initial on the top right hand corners of the emails and the first pages of separate submissions.
19. Take immediate actions as required by the emails.
20. File the emails in the relevant hardcopy folder after all team members have read and initialled and when no further immediate action is required.
21. File different submissions according to their dates even though those dates may be sometime in the past so that they can tell the complete story when the files are read sequentially sometime later. The date received stamp can help to trace that emails sending them though the submission and the email may be filed separately.​​​​​​

​​ Filing of letters and emails 信件和電郵的歸檔

1. Create a separate folder section for each preliminary cost estimate, proposed instruction, confirmation of verbal instruction, formal instruction, other item to appear in the final account (e.g., group of provisional quantities, provisional sum), financial report, payment valuation, etc.
2. Name the email folders or label the hardcopy folder flysheets by their serial numbers.
3. If an email covers more than one folder section, email it back to the office with a note added to the subject so as to distinguish. Do not just make copies because identical copies will be deleted if a "remove duplicate" check is done.
4. File requests for estimates and estimates under the proposed instruction folders. Move them to the formal instruction folders after the issuance of the formal instructions.
5. Move confirmations of verbal instructions to the formal instruction folders after the issuance of the formal instructions.
6. Change the folder or label names to reflect or track the move.
7. File quotations and assessment related to a formal instruction under the same folder section, i.e., all matters related from cost estimate until agreement are to be filed together to tell the complete story.
8. Spilt into more folders if an instruction covers more than one variation or final account item.
9. Update the financial report descriptions and amounts to match whenever a new or revised quotation or assessment is received or issued.
10. File communications with each tenderer separately. This is important for tracking the development, preparing the letter of award/intent, and contract binding.
11. In principle, all incoming and outgoing documents in the email folders and hard copy folders should mirror each other, except for working documents not sent out.
12. Bind tender documents as a book, not to be filed.
