WORKS
CLASSIFICATION OF FUNCTIONS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
1. General:
The term ‘WORKS’ denotes buildings, creation of fixed assets and additions thereto as
well as their maintenance and repairs. It includes all types of works concerned with
development of land, civil construction, structural and mechanical fabrication and all
other connected water supply and sanitary connections, electrical, other service facilities
and road works , horticultural etc., the ‘WORKS’ include maintenance and repairs of all
works and buildings financed from sanctioned budget proposals.
2. Classification of Works:
‘ORIGINAL WORKS’ comprise of all new constructions whether of entirely new works
or of additions and alternations to existing works, purchases and also works whether of
additions and alterations or of special repairs to newly purchased or previously
abandoned buildings/ structures required for bringing them to use. There are to be
provided individually in the Capital Budget.
3. ‘REPAIRS’ include primarily operation undertaken to maintain proper condition of
buildings and works in ordinary use and also new works in circumstances indicated in
para (4) hereunder.
4. When a portion of an existing structure or other works not being a road surface, road
bridge, cause ways, embankment, ferry approach, protection, or training work in
connection with a road, is to be replaced or remodeled, (whether or not change involves
any dismantlement) and the cost of the change represents a genuine increase in the value
of the properties, the work of replacement or remodeling as the case may be, should be
classified as ‘original works’. The cost (which should be estimated if not known) of the
portion replaced or remodeled being credited to the estimate for ‘original works’ and
debited to ‘Repairs’ in all other cases, the whole cost of the new work should be charged
to ‘Repairs’.
5. In the case of buildings, the capital value of any portion of the building which is
abandoned or dismantled without replacement should be written off the total capital value
of the building in any proforma account of its cost. Repairs consist of:
a. Ordinary repairs i.e., repairs, replacements and renewals,
b. Periodical services such as white washing, colour painting, distempering etc.,
c. Special repairs,
6. Routine Maintenance Services:
These consist of:
a. Sanitation services,
b. Horticultural services,
c. House keeping of factory, estate office and township,
d. Pollution control with regard to industrial effluent, domestic effluent, air pollution
etc.,
e. Air conditioning and allied services.
Items under Repairs & maintenance under para 3 & 4 are chargeable to revenue and are
within the powers of sanction of head of the Unit. Expenditure on these items is to be met
from the Revenue amounts sanctioned for this purpose for each year. Though only
maintenance & Repairs are generally done on contact, yet day-to-day maintenance may
also be tried and done on contract.
7. Petty Works:
The expenditure on minor additions and alterations to factory buildings upto Rs. 20,000/-
for factory buildings, Rs. 1,000/- for each quarter and Rs., 5,000/- for non-residential
building in township (which may be revised as and when found necessary) may be
classified at the discretion of the Dy.Chief Engineer / Manager-Civil not below the rank
of Gr.5, of the Unit, as petty works expenditure, and debited to ‘Repairs’. Separate
estimates are sanctioned in respect of such additions and alterations and if such works
relate to township buildings and rented buildings, the cost is taken into account in
determining the capital cost and in calculating the rent.
8. Road works:
i) NEW WORK::
When an existing portion of a road and connected works are to be replaced or
remodeled and the change represents the genuine increase in the value of the
property, the cost of replacement or remodeling as the case may be should be classed
as ‘NEW “WORKS” and the cost of value of the portion to be replaced or remodeled
shall not be debited to repairs.
ii) REPAIRS:
a) Ordinary repairs, maintenance including surface painting and necessary
addition of stone chips, gravel or sands, but not including asphaltic concrete,
premix asphalt macadam, bitumen grout, bitumen semi-grout mix-in-place,
cement concrete or cement macadam.
b) Special repairs and periodical renewals.

SECTION II
STAGES OF EXECUTION OF WORKS
10. After the regulation for work required to be done is received from various Units /
Divisions / user Departments, a preliminary estimate is prepared to given an idea of the
approximate cost involved based on preliminary plans. It is sent to the requisitioning
authority for inclusion in the Budget proposals for approval. For execution of the works,
under mentioned three items are the basic requisites which are required to be fulfilled,
before it is taken in hand or liability incurred in connection with it.
1. Administrative / expenditure sanction approval.
2. Technical sanction,
3. Appropriation or re-appropriation of funds.
11. No normal work should be commenced or liability thereon incurred until
administrative approval and expenditure sanctions have been accorded, a proper detailed
estimate based on essential drawings and preliminary structural and services designs
sanctioned and allotment of funds made.
12. ‘Works of Inescapable urgency’:
Where the works are of emergent nature and cannot await inclusion in the capital budget
for the ensuing year, proposals will be forwarded for approval. The powers to accept
such works of inescapable urgency not included in the capital budget are as under:
i. The powers shall be limited to works costing upto Rs. 5 lakhs to be approved
by the Unit Head.
ii. In respect of urgent works, the powers shall not be exercised in so far as the
road works and road bridges are concerned.
iii. Where the work is started in anticipation of technical sanction, a not shall be
kept on record indicating that the project has broadly been technically
scrutinized by the Chief Engineer and has been found to be sound.
13. Administrative Approval:
Feasibility report/ Board approval /Budget approval should be obtained to the
preliminary estimate for the work. This formal acceptance of the proposal by the
authority is termed as “Administrative approval of the work”. (The petty works referred
to above is an original work, the cost of which does not exceed Rs. 20,000/- for factory
and Rs. 1,000/- for each quarter and Rs. 5,000/- for non-residential building in township).
Fr approval / Board approval constitute the administrative approval. The powers to
accord administrative approval is as per delegation of powers issued by Management
from time to time.
14. The preliminary estimate should be based on plinth area rates prevailing at the
particular place and countersigned by the authority competent to accord technical
sanction to the detailed estimate for the work and should be forwarded to the Head of the
Unit which shall examine the proposal and accord administrative approval.
15. The act of appropriation or re-appropriation of funds is treated as sanction to incur
expenditure on works and accordingly, it is not necessary to issue any formal orders
conveying sanction to incur expenditure.
16. Excess over administrative approval:
Excess upto 10% above the latest approval cost index of the amount of administrative
approval is authorised to the Chief Engineer – Civil / Executive not below the rank of Gr.
VI of the Unit upto their respective powers of Technical sanction. In case it exceeds the
limit, a revised administrative approval is however necessary if the excess is covered by
the requisite expenditure sanction.
17. Excess over Technical Saction :
The expenditure sanction can be exceeded if so required at any stage during the execution
of the work by the Chief Engineer-Civil / not below the rank of Gr. VI within the powers
of Technical sanction upto 10%.
18. Any excess beyond these limits will necessitate revised expenditure sanction which
should be applied for as soon as such excess is foreseen.
19. Technical Sanction:
After receipt of the administrative approval and expenditure sanction, detailed estimates
are required to be prepared for Technical sanction. As its name indicates it amount to no
more than guarantee that the proposals are structurally sound and that the estimates are
accurately calculated and based on adequate data.
20. Ordinarily Technical sanction should be accorded on receipt of administrative
approval and expenditure sanction, but in exceptional circumstances, it is permissible for
the competent authorities to accord technical sanction to the works before receipt of
expenditure sanction.
21. Excess over Technical sanction:
The Chief Engineer / not below the rank of Gr. VI may pass excess over estimate
provided that the excess is not more than 10% of the amount sanctioned and that too in
such cases where the excess so sanctioned makes the total estimate exceed the amount
upto which he is empowered to sanction should be reported every month to his next
higher authority which has to satisfy itself about the propriety of the excess sanction. If
however, the excess does not result in going beyond the amount upto which he is
empowered to accord the sanction to an estimate, no further action is required. If the case
is otherwise, report is made every month to the next higher authority who should satisfy
himself about the propriety of the excess sanction.
22. In case where the excess is within a limit of Rs.10,000/- on a sanction original work
and /or repairs irrespective of the total amount of the sanctioned estimate, this may be
passed as an exception by the Executive Engineer concerned (Gr.III). Revised
administrative approval in such cases is not necessary.
23. No officer in charge of the work is empowered over a revised estimate sanction by
the higher authority than himself.
24. In case of excess over repair estimates the officers lower than the rank of Chief
Engineer Civil not below the rank of Gr.VI may pass excess over such estimates only
upto 10%.
25. Where the excess occurs at such an advanced stage in the construction of a work as a
render submission of a revised estimate purposeless, the completion report is utilized as a
revised estimate. The officer not less than Dy. Chief Engineer (Gr.V) may pass such
completion report if the total expenditure in question is not greater than what is
empowered to sanction in the case of revised estimate.
26. In cases where designs are submitted by specialised firms and tenders are based on
such designs, technical sanction should be accorded on the basis of accepted designs
before the acceptance of the contract.
26. In cases where designs are submitted by specialised firms and tenders are based on
such designs, technical sanction should be accorded on the basis of accepted designs
before the acceptance of the contract.
27. Technical sanction need not be revised in excess over the technical sanction if it is
only attributable to increase in accepted tender rates.
28. Appropriation of funds:
As soon as technical sanction is accorded work order has to be issued for every work by
Executive Engineer / not below the rank of Gr.III furnishing work order number, grant
reference capital sanction reference number, description of work, amount of estimate,
sanctioning authority, time allowed for completion of work and detailed instructions
regarding agency for mode of carrying out the work. A copy of the work order will be
furnished to Finance and officer in-charge of execution of the work.
29. Sanctions accorded by the Board of Directors lapse at the end of three financial
years. Where a commitment cannot be made before the end of the financial year and the
proposal has not been dropped, the requirement of funds will be included in the capital
budget for the ensuing year. The spill over of any sanction should be included in
expenditure budget of ensuing year.
30. Ordinary Repairs and Periodical Services:
a) For incurring revenue expenditure towards maintenance / repairs of buildings, roads,
water works, pollution control, horticulture etc., for which necessary expenditure are
provided in the performance budget, revenue administrative approval should be
obtained from competent authority.
b) In respect of ordinary repairs, the Chief Engineer-Civil / not below the rank of Gr. VI
is competent to approve expenditure upto Rs.20000/- in each case with regard to
maintenance of repairs of buildings, water supply and sanitary installation,
horticulture work including fencing and providing curtains etc. In case of other minor
works of revenue nature, the amount is restricted to Rs.10,000/- only in each case.
The Chief Engineer Civil / not below the rank of Gr. VI will exercise the powers subject
to the availability of funds as per budget allotment without the concurrence of the
financial controller concerned. This should be intimated to finance.
31. For cases involving expenditure beyond the above limits upto Rs.100000/-
concurrence of finance and competent authorities will have to be obtained.
32. In respect of periodical maintenance no financial concurrence is required so long as
the services are rendered at the approved intervals. However the funds are to be provided
for the purpose fully as projected, the projection be done during February of each year.
Where the periodical services are not covered under the approved intervals, concurrence
of finance and management will have to be obtained.
33. The general period of painting white washing etc., shall be as per the annexure
enclosed in the manual.
34. Further the Chief Engineer Civil / not below the rank of Gr. VI will maintain
periodical standard measurement books. This will indicate the details of various
buildings to be painted / distempered / colour washed areas thereof on the date of which
the services were last rendered. Maintenance of such a book enables the Chief Engineer
to ensure that the services are rendered as and when they fall due. A copy will also be
kept with respective EE. It will also enable prompt payment of bills as the areas once
measured will remain the same, unless additions and alterations are carried out.
35. Works Debitable to Revenue:
Estimates for repairs, periodical services debitable to revenue execution will be intimated
by the Civil Engineering department some time in June (RE of the current year, BE of the
forthcoming year). Based on the previous year revenue expenditure, anticipated revenue
expenditure for the forthcoming year estimated amounts are indicated in the budget
depending upto the prevailing cost index. The necessity of repairs and periodical services
will be critically examined. Total projected expenditure approved by the Head of the
Unit in consultation with finance will be projected in the performance budget under
“Repairs to Buildings”.
36. The Civil Engineering department will also draft the plan for routine maintenance
works of current year and next year separately covering horticulture landscape, sanitation
etc. The total projected expenditure on these works will be separately projected after
approval under “Operating Expenses” miscellaneous.
37. Special Repairs:
Replacement and renewals costing more than Rs.50000/- each are to be treated on par
with original works for purposes of Administrative and budget control. Requirement of
fund in this respect should be included in the replacement budget for the year
individually.
SECTION III
DEPOSIT WORKS
38. The term “Deposit work” is applied to work of construction or repairs, the cost of
which is not met out of company grants / funds (ITI), but being financed from other
Department / agencies. These departments / agencies may either deposit in cash entire
amount required for the work or otherwise placed at the disposal of the unit head. Such
funds should be provided wholly from the grants of the respective departments / agencies.
In all such cases the work should be executed in accordance with the procedure laid down
in the works manual.
39. The Company should decline to undertake the construction or maintenance of
buildings of non-government bodies and institution unless it is in the interest of the
Company or Government.
40. Power to Undertake Deposit works:
Unit heads can take up the works only after such proposals approved by the Corporate
Management.
41. Departmental charges for such deposit works should be levied at a rate not lower
than 8% for all charges relating to establishment including T&P charges, budget control
etc.
42. Realisation of Deposit:
a. Whenever a deposit work is to be undertaken, the deposit should be realised
before any liability is incurred on the work. 1% of the anticipated project cost
should be realised before preparation of preliminary estimates. In addition to the
outlay on the work in the preliminary estimate, departmental charges at such
percentages shall also be realised in advance. No interest will be allwed on the
sums deposited from any source, including private contributions.
b. In the case of deposit works of autonomous bodies which are financed entirely
from Government grants, and from who receipt of deposits is assured, 33 1/3%
of the estimated cost of the work may be got deposited in advance. Thereafter,
the expenditure incurred may be got reimbursed through monthly bills
simultaneously with rendering of monthly accounts on the progress of work.
The deposit of 33 1/3% obtained as the first instalment should be retained for
adjustment against the last portion of the estimated expenditure.
c. Where delays are experienced in obtaining deposits, and where the expenditure
has to be incurred out of the 33 1/3% reserve to keep the works going, the matter
should be brought to the notice of Competent Authority promptly for taking up
the matter with the client. No expenditure shall be incurred on deposit works out
of Company grants and vice-versa.
d. To enable the client to provide additional funds in time whenever the expenditure
is anticipated to exceed the preliminary estimate figure, a revised preliminary
estimate should be submitted to the client well in time during the execution of
work.
e. Where a client has defaulted in making the required deposit, and where the
oustanding amount exceeds Rs.10 lakhs, or where the works outlay is
predominantly for purchase of capital equipments and machineries the entire
deposit including departmental charges should be realised in advance.
f. In no case deposits received from a client department for its work should be
diverted to other works.
g. The client is to be clearly made to understand that the Company does not bind
itself to complete the work within the amount of the preliminary estimate, and that
they should agree to pay for the excess expenditure that may occur. An
acknowledgement of this clear understanding shall be obtained from the client
before the deposit work is taken in hand.
h. The Engineer-in-charge should ensure that at any time during the progress of the
work, the expenditure is not more than the deposits received for the work. Where
the Engineer-in-charge is doubtful about the timely receipt of deposits, he should
notify the client that if further deposit is not received, the work would be stopped,
and any contractural liability arising out of such stoppage of work will be borne
by the client. He should also bring this to the notice of his higher officers for
taking up the matter with the client.
i. While submitting preliminary estimates for deposit works for obtaining
administrative approval and expenditure sanction, a copy of the terms and
conditions under which the works would be taken up by the Company.
43. Execution of deposit works and settlement of accounts:
a. With regard to design, estimate and execution of work, instructions as contained
above should be followed. The scope of work should not be altered without
written permission of the client.
b. The Engineer-in-charge shall send to their Finance Dept every month the
Statement of Expenditure along with the Schedule of Deposit works for
transmission to the concerned client after verification. These should indicate
against each work, the amount of the estimate, the total deposit recived and the
expenditure incurred, both during the month and uptodate. The Engineer-in-
charge should invariably endorse a copy of this Statement to the concerned client.
c. The Engineer-in-charge should regularly send these statements to enable the
adjustment of outstanding amounts in the books of the clients, and to avoid
difficulties in reconciliation of accounts relating to deposit works after passage of
time.
d. The Engineer-in-charge should also send a quarterly report to the clients showing
the amount deposited and the expenditure incurred against each of the works for
settlement of accounts.
e. It is necessary that the Executive engineers settle their accounts against the deposit
works expeditiously so that the amount in the books of the audit as well as the
client does not remain unsettled for long.
SECTION IV
PREPARATION OF ESTIMATES
44. Preliminary Estimates:
Preliminary estimate is required to be prepared on the basis of plinth area, rate of
DPE/CPWD updated to the latest approved cost index and further increased/adjusted on
linear interpolation method to the middle period of completion of work or other such
methods adopted for ready and rough calculations so as to given an appropriate idea of
the cost involved in the proposal.
45. In case of major works of various kinds both factory and township works, data
required for preparing such estimates should be collected from the local authorities, in the
questionaire placed at “Annexure ” where required, sub soil investigations and tests to
determine the safe bearing capacity may be conducted.
46. The line sketch of the project according to the requirement should be prepared and
the Engineer-in-charge of Electrical work should be consulted for incorporating his
requirements in the estimate.
47. Whenever a new type of construction is undertaken people should be sent for
study/training or such specialised construction expert orgainisations in the field should
be consulted so that sufficient care is taken in designing, estimating and construction.
48. Provision for services like, sanitary, water supply drainage and electrical
installations, pollution control, effluent treatment etc., should be made on the basis of
percentage of the cost of building estimate as considered reasonable according to the
specifications to be adopted. In case where the cost of such subheads is disproportionate
to the cost of building these may be shown.
49. While forwarding the estimate, the following information should invariably be
furnished in the forwarding notes:
i ) Justification for the proposal.
ii ) In case of residential and office buildings, total demand for and availability of
accommodation should be mentioned along with scales of BPE guidelines.
iii ) Whether the plinth area rates of buildings and percentages of various services
allowed in the estimate are as per those recommended by BPE for similar constructions.
In case of any deviation from the approved scales of accommodation or approved plinth
area rates, complete justification should be there.
iv ) In case of proposals for construction of offices and residential accommodation other
than big cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and Chennai it should be specifically stated
whether suitable accommodation on reasonable rent is available.
50. While forwarding the estimates for administrative department it should be specially
mentioned by the Unit Finance, whether the expenditure involved can be met.
i ) From within the sanction grants available for civil works.
ii ) From the specific budget allotment during the financial year furnishing reference to
grant No.
iii) By re-appropriation of funds and if so the source of their purpose should be
indicated.
51. Detailed estimates:
As soon as administrative approval and expenditure sanction for a work is received and
availability of the site assured, Chief Engineer-Civil, not below the rank of Gr. VI will
be informed for furnishing detailed drawings. He will examine the abstract cost of the
preliminary estimate and intimate and the estimated cost thereof. He will also indicate
the authority responsible for preparation of the detailed estimates for each component
part. It will then be the duty of the concerned officer in each wing to see that the detailed
estimate for the parts falling within his competence are sanctioned without any loss of
time. In normal cases the period for preparation and sanction of detailed estimates as
referred hereto should not exceed three months.
52. The papers for a work in general will consist of a report plans, specifications,
detailed statement of measurements, quantities and rates etc., with an abstract showing
the total estimated cost of each item. These documents together form what is called
“THE ESTIMATE”. In the case of a project consisting of several works, the report may
be a single document for all the works, likewise the specifications, but details of
measurement and abstracts of costs may conveniently be prepared for each work
supplemented by a general abstract bring the whole together.
53. The estimates for projects, when submitted should be comprehensive, supported by
complete details and based on drawings and calculation of designs where necessary. In
order to ensure these they should be prepared under the following heads:
i) Buildings, including internal service installations for e.g. water, sanitary,
electrical and furniture.
ii) Boundary walls or fences, gateways, roads and paths, grassing, shrubberies and
trees connected with the garden layout.
iii) Main roads outside the boundary walls of the building under construction
necessary for the layout.
iv) Electrical power connections with mains or service connection outside the
boundary of compound.
v) Water supply storm water drainage, sewerage.

55.Schedule of Rates:
To facilitate the preparation of estimates, as also to serve as a guide in setting rates in
connection with contract agreement latest DSR, schedule of rates, will be followed for
the work commonly executed should be maintained in the unit and department and kept
up to date.
56. The schedule of rates for different area as issued under the authority of the Director
General (Works), Chief Engineer Central P W D should be adopted in preparation of
estimates in general. But where due to any reason the latter are not considered sufficient,
the deviations should be explained in detail in the report of the estimate under separate
“RATES”.
57. Provision for Contingencies
In addition to the provision for all expenditure which can be foreseen for a work, a
provision of 3% on the cost of estimate should be added to cover the cost of
contingencies which includes temporary civil office accommodation, transport,
telephone, etc., besides the cost of the work charged establishment for which no provision
should exist separately. The decision whether the amount chargeable to contingencies
will rest with Executive Engineer.
58. Where provision for certain item is made on lump sum basis, the amount to cover
contingencies on execution of such items should be included in the lump sum itself, while
determining the amount for contingencies as a percentage of the estimated cost items
where lump sum provision has been made should be excluded from the cost.
59. Forwarding of schedule:
While forwarding the detailed estimate for technical sanction, following information
should invariably be furnished.
i) Necessary details in support of the lump sum provision against the cost of civil
construction works made in the estimate.
ii) Basis on which the rates have been adopted i.e., name of the schedule of rates of the
locality adopted in the project, schedule of rates etc.,
iii) Prevailing average cost at side of material and labour e.g. bricks, sand, cement, stone
aggregate timber, steel and labour (mason, carpenter and bender).
iv) A brief note on the special construction difficulties if any, that are likely to be
encountered during the project construction stage.
60. The estimates in respect of residential buildings should be sanction after the plans and
designs both architectural and structural, which should be mostly according to the BPE
guidelines have been prepared in detail.
61. In case of large sized multi-storeyed structures, detailed estimates should be got
prepared and technically sanctioned only after all the building and architectural working
drawings are finalised.
62. Before the estimate is put up for technical sanction, time required should be taken
note of completed and submitted along with the estimate to the competent authority.
63. Calculation of building cost index:
Detailed estimate should prepared based on DSR schedule of rates available for the
particular place of work for a particular year. In case DSR schedule of rates is not
available for a particular year, estimates will have to be prepared based on latest DSR
schedule of rates available for the place. Building cost index of the place of work will
have to be calculated if not available from CPWD authorities. The detailed estimate
based on available DSR rates should be updated allowing for percentage increase in
building cost index. Normally C I for a place should be prepared / updated at every six
months.
64. Supplementary Estimates:
Any development of a project though necessary, while the work is in progress which is
not fairly, contingent, on the proper execution of the work as first sanctioned, must be
covered by a supplementary estimate accompanied by a full report of the circumstances
which render if necessary. The abstract must show the amount of original estimate and
the total of the sanction required including the supplementary amount.
65. Revised Estimate:
When any excess over sanctioned estimates is foreseen and there is likely to be avoidable
delay in the preparation of a revised estimate, an immediate report of the circumstances
should be made to the authorities whose sanction will ultimately be required, the revised
estimate is to be submitted, with the latest existing sanction of component authority and
by a report showing the progress made up to date.
66. Additions and alterations Estimates:
No additions and alterations should be carried out in permanent buildings without the
concurrence of the Chief Engineer Civil / Civil Engineering Head of the unit in writing
while submitting estimates containing the proposal for additions and alterations. The fact
that the concurrence of the Dy. Chief Engineer / not below the rank of Gr. V has been
obtained, should be stated explicitly.
67. Where a portion of the building is required to be demolished the estimate should
provide for cost of dismantling. Credit for the value of dismantling materials should be
given to the estimate and report of the estimate should contain proposals for utilizing the
useful materials obtained from the dismantled materials and for disposal of unserviceable
items.
68. Repairs Estimates:
The total estimated cost of maintenance of a building / structure during a year should be
as per Annexure. This is based on plinth area rate per square meter of building.
The repair estimates should be divided under the following subheads:
i ) Items of work to be done by contract:
This should show such items of work which are to be done through the agency or a
contractor for e.g. white washing and painting of doors and windows etc., the quantities
of such items should be based on the measurements recorded in the standard
measurement books.
ii ) Petty works:
Such as replacement of glass panes, repairs of floors, patch repairs to cement plaster to
walls, roof leak repairs, replacement of broken AC sheets, repairs to leak roof gutters,
specialised works in plating shops, pollution control etc., since such repairs cannot be
estimated in the beginning only, lumpsum provision should be made for different items in
the estimate. An idea of amount to be provided for, should be taken from the actual
figures of expenditure incurred during the last year.
iii ) Normally all works are to be done by contracts only. However where natue of job is
such that it cannot be measured and purely temporary work, it will be got executed by
employing labour who will be paid minimum wages / local market rates which ever is
higher, the LMR being certified by an officer not below the rank of Gr. V.
69. Estimate for Road works:
Projects for the construction of new roads must be accompanied by the following
documents:

occur in the line of the road.
vii ) Detailed estimate sheets.
Necessary provision should be made for shifting of pipe line drainage electric poles and
cables, telephone lines, if any coming in the way of new alignment. For maintenance and
repairs and special repairs same procedure should be adopted as laid down in para 69.
70. Purchase of Buildings:
In case of purchase and renting built up accommodation to house offices, residential
buildings for the company wherever authorised by the Board separate estimates are
required to be prepared after a survey and valuation report of the Committee consisting of
Civil Engineer / Finance and administrative representatives is submitted to the
administrator and concurrence there to obtained from the concerned authority.
71. The maintenance of such purchased buildings will be carried out on the same plinth
area basis as laid down in the case of other buildings.
72. NO COMPANY buildings built or purchased should be disposed off or sold or
demolished unless it has previously been ascertained that it is not required by the
company or it is in dangerous condition or beyond economic repairs, or it is necessary to
vacate one site on which it stands for constructing more important company building or
structure.
73. Repairs to leased and requisitioned properties:
The company may take on rent / lease if and when considered necessary for residential,
office accommodation, stores accommodation and production. The repair estimates for
these buildings should be prepared on the same plinth area rates basis as outlined above,
provided it is not covered in the lease agreement to be done by the landlord.
74. While submitting estimates for repairs on additions and alterations to such buildings,
following information should invariably be furnished in the report of the estimates:

SECTION – V
EXECUTION OF WORK
Preliminaries and submission of Plans to Local Bodies
78. On receipt of feasibility report / Budget approval to the estimates, action is
immediately initiated for taking possession of the land acquired by the Company for the
purpose. Where the scheme includes electrical, air conditioning, sanitary installation,
horticulture works and lifts, the concerned sections in respect of these portions are
immediately informed along with copies of the relative portions of estimates, plans
furnished to them to initiate further action on these items. Action should also be taken to
submit and obtain necessary approvals from Inspector of factories, Electrical Inspectorate
and other Municipal Corporation / local bodies / statutory bodies like Pollution Control
Board, keeping in view provision and requirements of bye-laws. The divisional heads of
the Unit should furnish details of manufacturing process, floor charts and other necessary
information prescribed by Inspector of Factories for according necessary approval.

the provision of external services viz., road, drains, water supply mains, sewerage,
electrical connections, there should be better coordination between the Company officers
concerned with the project, Municipal and other authorities. They should be moved
simultaneously for provision of ancillary services. Provision for such external services,
wherever required to be provided for, by the company, should invariably be made in the
main project estimate.
80. Scope of sanction:
The authority granted by a sanction to an estimate must on all occasions be looked upon
as strictly limited by the precise objects for which the estimate is intended to be
provided. Accordingly, material deviations from original proposal should not be made
without the sanction of the authorities which accorded the administrative approval to the
work, even though the cost of the same may be covered by savings on other items.
i ) Similarly if subsequent to the grant of technical sanction, material structural
alterations are contemplated the orders of the authority which sanctioned the estimate
technically should be obtained, even though no additional expenditure may be involved
due to such alterations.
ii) Any development of a project considered necessary while a work is in progress, which
is not fairly contingent on proper execution of the work at first sanctioned, must be
covered by a supplement estimate as explained in earlier sections. The Engineer-in
charge of the project during the course of execution of work should not enter into
commitments without sanction of the competent authority in the matter.
iii) No religious edifice / should be destroyed or injured in the execution of works
without the full and free consent of the persons / institutions interested in it, or without
the concurrence of the principal civil or political authority on the spot, within whose
jurisdiction such edifice stands.
81. Consultation with Department of Archaeology:
i) In case of construction of any modern structure at or in close proximity to any
projected monument, the Chief Engineer Civil not below the rank of Gr.VI should
consult the department of Archaelogy invariably prior to framing the designs of the
proposed structure.
ii) No ancient monument should be dismantled, demolished in the set up and construction
of the new townships colonies and extensions to the present structures, wherever such
monument exists without consulting Archaelogy Deparment.
82. Inspection of works:
It is incumbent upon various officers concerned with work i.e., S.E, SEE, EE, AEE, AE,
JE (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical) to inspect the work frequently to ensure that the works
are being executed in general according to designs and specifications laid down for the
purpose. Primarily an officer, who records / test checks (for the purpose of this manual,
JEs who are qualified diploma holders are considered as officers) the measurements for
an item of work, will be responsible for the quality, quantity and dimensional accuracy of
work he has measured/ test checked. The Asst. Executive Engineer / Asst Engineer must
make adequate surprise checks to ensure quality of work during concreting.
83. Completion certificate :
i. Before a work is declared as completed in all respects and final payment is released to
the contractor, it should be inspected by the Dy. Chief Engineer Civil and necessary
certificate should be recorded by him for all works costing Rs.30 lakhs and above from
civil works, 10 lakhs and above each from Electrical Sanitary, water supply and road
works.
ii.) In case of works whose contract value is less than Rs.30 lakhs, the Executive
Engineer in-charge should record similar certificates as the case may be.
iii) If an architect is engaged for the work, he is also required to record a similar
certificate on the completion of the work, indicating therein that the building has been
constructed according to approved architectural designs and architectural specifications.
84. Completion of works:
i) On completion of the work, the originating departments / users should be informed of
the same and formal handing over arranged in writing. Reasonable advance intimation of
completion of the work should be given to the concerned department to enable them to
make arrangements for taking over.
ii) Completion plans consisting of the record plans for important structure of the project
and details should be prepared and kept with the Civil Engineering Department / library
along with the completion report showing the expenditure incurred on the project.
85. Co-ordination in Respect of Execution of works of other than Civil:
i) The works of Electrical installations and sanitary and water supply installations should
be properly coordinated with the building construction by planning well ahead of the
commencement of actual construction of building, so that there may be no delay in the
final completion of the building.
ii) No sooner a project is started, the Electrical Engineer concerned must be informed by
the Executive Engineer ( Civil) in charge of the construction and asked to produce wiring
diagram. Similar action will be taken in respect of sanitary and water supply
installations. The concerned divisional units should then prepare drawings to show their
respective installations and mark clearly the positions and sizes of the holes or chases
which should be prepared in triplicate, out of which two copies should be sent to the
Executive Engineer in charge of building work. He should see that all the holes and
chases are left in the proper places while masonry work is in progress. Joint inspections
should be arranged with the Executive Engineer in charge of Electrical installations to
ensure that no mistakes are made in the positions and also to arrange for modifications, if
any, that may be considered advisable.
iii) Generally, composite tenders for building, internal water supply and sanitary, internal
wiring and conducting be called with all Civil contractors. Tenders for external sanitary
water supply and electrification must be suitably called in a phased manner if required
taking into consideration the completion of the building.
iv) When the building work has sufficiently advanced and is nearing completion,
Horticulture wing should take action with regard to their portion of the work wherever
required.
v) The Engineer-in-charge of the building work should maintain a register namely,
“Consolidated Register of Works” so as to exhibit the total cost of the project including
all components viz., building, water supply, Sanitary installation, electrical installations
etc. On completion of their respective portion of works, the Corporate units will intimate
the audited figures of expenditure through a completion report and get the excess, if any,
passed. The overall responsibility for obtaining the revised administrative approval and
expenditure sanction for the project as a whole, wherever required, will rest with the
Assistant Manager not below the rank of Gr. III.
vi) Situations for calling spot quotations – competent authority
a. Wherever a work is to be taken up, or a material is to be procured under critical
situations, such as in the case of a break down of an essential service, or works
which brooks no delay, spot quotations may be collected from reputed and
established agencies dealing with the work or supply of material, and the work
awarded or supply order placed immediately.
b. In case of a situation where there is a shortage of a critical material that is
required to be arranged departmentally for the execution of a work, and its rate is
not stable, and there is a wide day-to-day fluctuation in its rate in the market, spot
quotations may be collected from reputed and established agencies dealing with
the material , and supply order may be placed immediately for such quantities of
material that are immediately required, nd as are available with the agency. Spot
quotations should be collected by Engineer-in-charge of the work.
c. Prior approval of such authority should be obtained, in oral if not in writing,
before awarding the work or placing the supply order. Reference thereof should
be mentioned while forwarding the case for obtaining the written approval of this
authority, and the same should be sought at the earliest possible opportu nity but
not later than 10 days.
SECTION – VI
PART II CONTRACTS
86 Definition of Contract :
When two or more persons have a common intention communication to each other to

acceptance of the proposal completes the agreement.
87. Types of Contracts:
Types of contracts which are usually entered into for works / services are described in the
following subheads:
i). Notice inviting tenders and in brief known as NIT is required to be invariably used in
respect of works which tender is to be called. The salient features of this NIT is that it
includes names of works, estimated costs put to tender, period of completion, time and
date of receipt and opening of tenders and other relevant conditions.
It should be clearly mentioned in the NIT whether:
a) The site for the work is available or,
b) The site for the work shall be made available in parts.
ii) For works costing Rs.2 lakhs and below as well as for repetitive type of works relating
to standard approved designs, contractors are required to state the percentage above or
below the total estimated cost of works, shown in the schedule of quantities attached to
the tender papers.
Term contract / zonal contract:
For maintenance and minor works zonal contract / term contract can also be awarded on
percentage tender basis on each subhead applicable, for schedule rates. The contract may
be for a period of one year and less and should not exceed 10 lakhs in total value each.
iii) Item Rate tender:
For item rate tender contractors are required to quote rates for individual items of work
on the basis of schedule of quantities furnished by the company. This type of contract
ensures more detailed analysis of costs by the contractor and as such is more scientific.
The company will have to work out the schedule of quantities against each item of work
and the contractors will have to work out the rates against each item.
As far as possible all tenders except as enumerated in para II above for small works
should be invited on item rate basis.
iv) Lumpsum contracts:
As its name indicates, this is used for works which contractors are required to quote a
lumpsum figure for completing the works in accordance with the given specifications,
designs, drawings etc., such contract should be entered into a exceptional cases.
v) Labour supply contract:
This type of contact is required for carrying out all emergency works which cannot be
measured and paid for on contract basis A contract will be finalised for a period of one
year or a predetermined number of man days of labour, whichever is earlier. Work order
will be placed on the contractor based on the estimate for the total number of man days,
indicating the number of days on the contract, giving him 24 hours notice for supply of
labour. Whenever semi skilled or skilled labour is required, the same contractor will
supply the labour but the rate will be based on the pro-rata basis as per schedule. While
awarding the contract, the minimum wages as per schedule. While awarding the contract,
the minimum wages as per prevailing labour act should be indicated to be paid by the
contractor. The labour contract will also will include the contractors liability towards
payment of ESI, PF contractor profit etc., as per the prevalent rules.
88. Work order:
Subsequent to issue of acceptance letter by the competent authority work orders shall be
issued by Executive Engineer incharge of construction on behalf of ITI. The company
and the contractors will have to enter into agreement within 30 days of issue of work
order.
89. Registration of Contractors:
i) An advertisement should be issued in English and in regional language in leading local
newspaper calling the tenders for registration with the company for specific types of
works. The list of possible tenderers can be augmented by referring to MES/CPWD/
LOCAL PWD / Railways / other Public Sector Undertakings for their recognised
tenderers and also showing previous experience in the unit. The Chief Engineer in co-
ordination with finance and audit departments should scruitinise the application and
finalise the list of contractors. The following guidelines will be followed:

ii) Limited and Restricted Tenders:
Restricted tenders can be called for on the following groups.
a. The work is required to be executed with very great speed which not all contractors are
in a position to generate.
b. Where the work is of special nature requiring specialised equipment which is not likely
to be available with all contractors and
c. Where the work is of secret nature and public announcement is not desirable.
The question of inviting restricted tenders should be adopted only where it is absolutely
necessary. There need be no fixed restricted list of contractors should be as big as
possible so that competitive tenders are received. Each case should be examined on
merits and referred to the Management through Chief Engineer for approval.
“Limited Tender or Single Tender enquiries will be issued to those firms which are borne
on the list of approved contractors. The Corporate office reviews the registration of the
firms every three years. The limited tender enquiry should be issued to past successful
contractors / suppliers plus 16 more firms from the approved list (which could be selected
on the basis of rotation) or the actual number of firms on the approved list if the number
is less than 15.
Restricted call of tender is normally made after selection of contractors on “pre-

removal from the panel can be considered. Similarly the units will indicate whether the
firm is to be upgraded to the next higher / lower category depending on their
performance.
x) Whether consultants are engaged for design of structures, all designs submitted by
consultants may be cross checked by other agencies such as IIT / IISC or any other
Government agencies before acceptance. To the extent a consultant is engaged, it is
necessary to ensure that the relationship between the undertaking and the consultant is
correctly defined so that the consultant can be held legally and financially responsible for
the work entrusted to them.
xi) ITI will have at every unit a design and planning office, to undertake normal
design for which services of consultants have not been engaged.
xii) Award of work without call of tenders:
91.1 Procedure
i) Normally tenders should be called for all works costing more than Rs.50000.
In case where the work is to be awarded expeditiously, the prescribed period
of notice may be reduced. In urgent cases, or when the interest of the work so
demands or where it is more expedient to do so, works may be awarded
without call of tenders after approval of the competent authority.
ii) The precise reasons should be recorded.
iii) The work awarded after calling for quotations shall be construed to have been
awarded without call of tenders.
iv) Normally, unless situation warrants otherwise, work orders shall be placed
only after competitive call of quotations with publicity through web and
notice board.
v) The period of notice for call of quotations may be decided by the authority
accepting the work order depending upon the urgency. Spot quotations can
be collected if the situation so warrants. Spot quotations should be collected
by Engineer-in charge.

contradiction with each other. Additional conditions should be decided by
the NIT approving authority, and he shall be responsible for the same.
Wherever special conditions have financial implications the same should
be enforceable.
c. The schedule of quantities of work.
d. A set of drawings referred to in the schedule of quantities of work.
e. Specifications of the work to be done.
iv) Generally splitting of works for the purpose of inviting tenders should not be restored
to. Sometimes it may be administratively convenient or otherwise expedient to split up
the work and invite tenders separately for the split tenders.
v) In respect of major works involving strict technical standard or specialised items of
work, it will be useful to invite tenders to be submitted in two parts viz.,
a. Containing the technical offer
b. Financial offer.
The System of having two parts viz.,
a. Technical offer and financial offer is also applicable where either lump sum tenders or
tenders based on contractors own design are called for. The technical offer would be
opened first and after technical evaluation is completed financial offer would be opened.
This would ensure that all the offers are evaluated technically without any bias.
vi) All notices calling for tender should be in the standard form and be serially
numbered, a proper register being maintained for the purpose. They should be only
issued after the authority competent to accept the tender has approved the NIT papers.
Notice inviting tenders should be carefully prepared. The use of symbols % in the
schedule of quantities accompanying the NIT is prohibited and the words 100 and 1000
must be written e.g: “Per hundred sq.metres” must be written and not per % sq. mtrs”.
Notice Inviting Tender:
93. The NIT papers are very important documents on which all tenders and subsequent
agreements with the contractors are based. It is therefore very necessary that each page
and the correction slips as also other corrections and modifications made in the NIT
papers are numbered and signed by the competent authority in token of approval and on
forwarding letters would not serve the purpose. All corrections in the NIT’s and pages

SECTION IX
SALE OF TENDER DOCUMENTS
101. Sale of Tender Documents :
i) Tender documents should be prepared and kept ready for sale to the contractors before
the notice is actually sent to the press or is posted on the notice board and every
contractor desiring to tender shall be asked to make a written application. It is the
responsibility of the Executive Engineer / Divisional Accountant to see that tender
documents are made available to the contractors as soon as the proper application is
made.
ii) In order to obviate difficulty to get competitive rates, in respect of all specialised jobs,
it is necessary that that the tenders for specialised works should be issued to the firms
concerned, who deal in the items of works for which tenders are being invited in addition
to registered contractors, for this purpose following item should be taken as specialied
item.

new contractors, it is preferable to issue tender documents only after they have executed
works of equal amount and similar nature.
iv) For deciding the limit upto which a particular contractor is eligible to tender, the cost
of materials whether proposed to be issued free or on payment shall not be deducted from
the cost of work put to tender.

items should be attached to the tender documents, where it is not feasible to describe the
work required to be carried out without the same for the information and guidance of the
contractors.
vi) If response to tenders from the contractors of the appropriate classes is poor, the
tenders may be thrown open to the contractors in the next lower class with the prior
approval of the Chief Engineer but not a particular contractor.
vii) Any tender form which is issued either for sale or for office use should be issued
under the signature of the Asst. Executive Engineer or Executive Engineer as the case

vi Any ambiguities in rates quoted by tenderers in words or figures must be clearly
indicated on each page of the schedule attached to the tenders to which it concerns.
vii. In case where the contractor has quoted rates in rupees, and no paise is mentioned the
word “ONLY” should be added after the words rupees and the correction should be
initiated and dated with suitable remarks at the end.
viii. The officer in charge should see that the contractors quote entire rates in words
including paise to avoid changes of tampering in rates and if the contractor fails to do so,
the Executive Engineer himself writes the rates in words at the time of opening of tenders
and if necessary initiate action against the contractor.
ix. The Divisional Accounts officer and the tenderer should be encouraged to be present
at the time of opening of the tenders. Percentage and lump sum tenders should be read
out to the tenderers as far as possible. In case of item rate tenders, the total amount

not follow these instructions and desists from filling the tenders carefully, it
would be open to the Department to take disciplinary action against the
contractor.
xiv. Reasonability and competitiveness of rates
The tender accepting authority shall satisfy himself about the reasonability of rates before
acceptance of the tenders. Reasonability of rates shall primarily be assessed on the basis
of justified rates is detailed in the following para Permissible variations over the
justified rates are given in para Where justification of rates is not required to be
prepared, the tender accepting authority while deciding the tenders, may refer to the rates
of tender of similar nature of works called within a period of last three months. Similar
works shall mean works similar in nature, quantum, specifications and location, which is
very close.
xv. Justification of tenders
Justification statement shall be prepared for checking the reasonability of rates. There is
no need for preparing justification in case the lowest tender is less than the estimated cost
put to tender + 10%. For acceptance of tender, however, the remaining provisions of
this manual shall apply.
The method consists of preparing detailed analysis of rates by taking market rates of
labour, materials, cartage etc. The method of analyzing item is the same as given in the
standard CPWD Analysis of Rates. The major items on the whole costing at least 90% of
the estimated cost put to tender are analyzed, to work out the justified percentage on this
basis. The items to be considered should be so selected that have higher estimated cost
and amount. One should start with the items having the highest estimated amount, and
then the next lower amount in the descending order and so on, till at least 90% of the
estimated amount is reached.
Any other suitable method may also be adopted, depending upon the kind of work. The
adoption of a particular method should be decided judiciously by the authority competent
to accept the tenders For the justification of tenders, the issue rate ( and not the market
rate) of stipulated materials shall be considered for items stipulated for issue, irrespective
of the quantity of stipulated materials stated in the draft NIT/ tender documents.
The effect of building and other construction workers cess Act 1996, service tax, VAT
etc. wherever applicable and other factors which actually contributes towards the cost,
but are not covered in Analysis of Rates can also be added in arriving at the justified
amount.
While determining the lowest tenderer, the financial effect of adding / subtracting of all
mandatory conditions should be clearly should be clearly taken into account, whether
such conditions may or may not be acceptable.
When the conditions stipulated is not mandatory, but is in the form of an offer giving a
special rebate, conditionally or against certain facility provided, it is open for the
department to accept or reject such a condition. In determining the lowest tender, while
such a condition need not be taken into account, the effect of such a condition given by
one of the contractors has to be kept in view if is to the advantage of the company. The
lowest tenderer may be asked during negotiations whether he is prepared to suitably
amend his tendered amount if a similar facility is given to him.
The fact that the financial effect of all the conditions have been taken into account for
determining the position of tenders does not, ipso; facto mean that ll conditions shall be
acceptable or not. The officer accepting the tender has to take a decision on each
individual condition, regarding its acceptability or otherwise. If the conditions are not
acceptable in the form in which the tenderer has stipulated them, the tenderer can be
requested during negotiations to bring them into an acceptable form. But in all cases the
authority vested with the officer competent to accept a tender is restricted to carry out
negotiations only with the lowest tenderer for which purposes the above guidelines have
to be allowed for determining the lowest tenderer voluntary rebates offered by contractors
for timely payment of running bills and final bills within a certain period may be
accepted in consultation with Finance Department. An offer of rebate on final bills should
be accepted on following conditions.
Final bill shall be prepared and payment made for disputed items.
Time limit for payments shall be 3/6 months after completion certificate by Engineer-in-
charge for works costing Rs.2.00 lakhs/above Rs. 2.00 lakhs respectively as the case may
be.
While preparing pre-final bill, it should be ensured that amount in the final bill is
available for adjustment of rebate on final payment.
In case the contract offers a single rebate for both regular payment of running bills and
final bill, the rebate will be applicable individually to each final bill / running bill and
will be recovered accordingly i.e., recovery of the value of the work done, as payable in
the running bill will be made in each running bill and the recovery on the value of the
work done since penultimate bill will be deducted from the final bill.
103. FREAK RATES:
On scrutiny of tenders, rates for items found either unworkably low or unbelievably high
are termed as freak rates. Normally rates quoted should be considered freak, if the rates
are less or more by 25%. If the tender submitted as a whole is unworkable because of
freak rates the tender may be rejected. Where freak rates are quoted by lowest
acceptable tenderer, the contractor may be informed of the rate quoted by him for the
item. He may be given an opportunity to correct the rate if he so wishes. It should be
made clear to him while addressing the contractor that under no circumstances he will be
allowed to increase the rates.
Where freak rates are accepted based on the act that it is workable on the whole, it should
be ensured that the quantities in respect of such items are not varied to the disadvantages
of ITI. Prior approval should be taken from competent authority as stipulated below.
The powers to award additional quantities against abnormally high (low) rate items
(variation being more than 25% as compared to estimated rates ) will be as per the
delegation of powers issued by management from time to time.
The officers are allowed to award such additional quantities upto 25% of the quantity
stipulated in the contract in respect of work below plinth level and upto 5% in the case of
work done above plinth level and beyond the limit their power to award such quantities
shall be restricted to the monetary limit stated above.
104. Late Tenders:
The following procedure will be adopted in case of late tenders.
Late tenders i.e., tender received after the specified time for tender opening and delayed
tenders i.e, tenders received before the time specified but after the due date and time
specified in NIT and post tender offers should not be considered at all. The cover
containing such offers need not even be opened but returned to the tenderes with the date
and time of receipt clearly mentioned on the envelope and duly signed by a responsible
officer. However single tenders received late both in case of open tenders and the limited
tenders deliveries are acceptable and prices are reasonable provided no other offers have
been received in time. However, the delay should not be more than 24 hours or next
working day in case of holiday. When the tenders are under examination no other
authority should be allowed to make queries or call for reports.
105. Negotiations
As a general rule negotiations however should not be resorted to but in cases where it
becomes necessary to do so, negotiations should be restricted only to the lowest tenderer
unless otherwise approved by the competent authority. No negotiations should be
resorted to in order to bring down rates when these are only marginally in excess of the
lowest rates received and accepted for similar works in the past. It should be ensured that
the sanctity of the tender system is not violated by negotiations and to avoid a tendency to
make the tenderers tentative rather than competitive. The accepting office may order that
discussions may be carried out with the lowest tenderer in the following situations.
i. If there is scope to modify the freak rates.
ii. If there is necessity to delete the tenders special conditions if they are in contravention
of general terms and conditions of the contract.
iii. In cases where the lowest offer is not technically and financially acceptable reasons
should be recorded confidentially and prior approval of the authority not higher than
them are competent to accept the tender should be obtained, the accepting authoirity after
recording the reasons in writing may order negotiations either with the lowest acceptable
contractor or with all those who have responded to the tender and whose offers are
technically acceptable.
iv. During the negotiations, it should be ensured that scope of work is not altered which
would otherwise deprive the other tenderers from competing for the altered scope of
work.
When tenderers are called for negotiations or requested to submit their revised offers they
must be given an undertaking in the proforma that they should be permitted to attend the
negotiations only after they comply with this requirement and their revised offers should
accompany this undertaking.
v. No negotiations should be resorted to in order to bring down rates when these are only
marginally in excess of the lowest rates received and accepted for similar works in the
past. In order to ensure that the sanctity of the tender is not violated and to avoid a
tendency to make tender tentative rather than competitive, it has been decided that excess
in rates upto the percentage marginal limits as indicated below shall be.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Value of work Limit margin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) For works costing upto Rs. 50,000/- 5%
b) For works costing above Rs. 50,000/- & upto 5.0 lakhs 2 ½ %
c) For works costing over Rs. 5.0 lakhs 1 %
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
106, Tender Committee
Tender committees are authorised to negotiate all contracts exceeding Rs. 10000/- in
value where freak rates and contrary terms and conditions are involved, with prior
approval of unit head.

107. Powers of Accepting tender
1. Where competitive tenders ( open and limited) have been called for and more than one
valid tender has been received, the powers of acceptance of tender are as per the
delegation of powers issued by management from time to time.
All tenders will be accepted as the recommendation of tender committee.
108. Price Escalation (as per BPE norms)
If the prices of materials (not being materials supplied or services rendered at fixed prices
by the department) and / or wages of labour required for execution of the work increases,
the contractor shall be compensated for such increase as per provision detailed below
and the amount of the contract shall accordingly be varied, subject to the condition that
such compensation i.e., escalation in prices shall be available only for the work done
during the stipulated part of the contract including such period for which contract is
validly extended for contract without any penal action also subject to the condition that
no such compensation shall be payable for a work for which the stipulated period of
completion is 18 months or less. Such compensations for escalation in the prices
materials and labour when due shall be worked out based on the following provisions.
i. The base date for working out such escalation shall be the last date on which tenders
were stipulated to be received.
ii. The cost of work on which escalations will be payable shall be reckoned as 85% of the
cost of work as per the bills, running or final and from this amount the value of materials
supplied of this contract or services rendered at fixed charges of this contract, and
proposed to be recovered in the particular bill, shall be deducted before the amount of
compensation for escalation is worked out. In the case of materials brought to the site
for which they may secure advance is included in the bill, the full value of such materials
as assessed by the Engineer-in-charge (and not the reduced amount for which secured
advance has been paid) shall be included in the cost of work and secured advance is
deducted from the bill for operation of this clause. Similarly, when such materials are
incorporated in the work and the secured advance is deducted from the bill, the full
assessed value of the materials originally considered for operation of this clause should
be deducted from the cost of the work shown in the bill, running or final. Further the cost
of work shown shall not include any work for which payment is made at prevailing rates.
iii. Components of materials, labour, P O L etc., shall be predetermined for every work
and incorporated in the conditions of contract attached to the tender papers and the
decision of the Engineer-in-charge in working out such percentages shall be binding on
the contractor.
iv. The compensation for escalation for materials, labour and P O L shall be worked out
as per the formula given.

time of tender, shall be treated as part of the Security Deposit. The security deposit can
also be accepted in cash or demand draft.
ii) A sum @ 5% of the gross amount of the bill shall be deducted from each running bill
of the contractor, till the sum along with the sum already deposited as earnest money
amounts to security deposit @ 5% of the tendered amount of the work. Such deductions
shall be made unless the contractor has deposited the amount of security at the rate
mentioned in cash. This is in addition to the performance guarantee that the contractor is
required to deposit as per para
iii) Security deposit can be released against bank guarantee issued by a Nationalised
/schedule Bank on its accumulation to a minimum amount of Rs.5 lakhs subject to the
condition that amount of any bank guarantee except last one, shall not be less than Rs.5
lakhs.
111. Refund of Security Deposit: 50% of Security Deposit after completion of the work
and payment of final bills and balance 50% after completion of the defects liability period
of one year.
112. Defects liability period:
i. Normally the period of maintenance for all the works will be Twelve months, works
which are of special nature such as tarfelting, water proofing, special surface finished for
effluent treatment plants, contractors own designs for complicated works will have longer
period upto 5 years prescribed by appropriate technical authority, for roads the defects
and liability period is 6 months. During the defects liability period the contractor would
be responsible to rectify all defects noticed and attributed to the work done by him, in
respect of works executed by him. This will be made clear in the tender documents.
ii. As soon as any defects in the works are noticed, the Engineer-in-charge will intimate
to the contractor in writing the defects observed and request him to rectify the defects at
this risk and expense. If there is no response from the contractor inspite of repeated
requests, ITI should proceed with the rectification of work at the contractors risk and
expense and get the work completed with intimation to the contractor. The extra cost
incurred by the department should be recovered from the defaulting contractor
disciplinary action to be taken against the contractor.
113. Defects Liability Deposit:
On expiry of defects liability period or on payment of the final bill whichever is later the
Engineer-in charge shall on demand from the contractors refund to him, the remaining
portion of the security deposit provided the Engineer in charge is satisfied that there are
no dues outstanding against the contractors.
ii) Before refunding the balance half of security deposit, the Engineering Department
should certify that a ‘ No Demand certificate’ indicating that there are no demand dues
from the contractor under this contract. The contractor should, while accepting refund
certify that he has no further claims against this contract in full and final settlement.
iii) If the contractor so desires, the company may consider refunding of security deposit
recovered from the bills together with initial security deposit after completion of the work
and payment of the final bill on production of Banker’s guarantee for a like amount on
verification with the bank. The Bankers guarantee shall be redeemed after completion of
the defects liability period.
114. Standing Earnest Money Deposit:

full satisfaction of the appropriate technical authority, such contractor will be permitted
to make in the prescribed form a standing earnest money deposit as specified below
which may be held as common deposit towards earnest money in respect of several works
for which he may submit tenders, the amount of standing earnest money deposit shall be
as follows:
Enlistment of contractors in ITI allow the following categories of contractors to deposit
lumpsum deposit money specified against each in the prescribed form below in order to
enable them to secure exemption from payment of earnest money.
Class of Contractors Amount required to
be deposited Rs.
Tendering limits
Rs.
Class I (B & R) Contractors 20,000 Unlimited
Class II (B & R) Contractors 15,000 15 Lakhs
Class III (B & R) Contractors 10,000 5 Lakhs
Class I (Electrical / S & W)
furniture Contractors
5,000 Unlimited
Class II ( Electrical) Contractors 3,000 1,50,000
Class III (Electrical) Contractors 2,000 75,000
Note:
A contractor enlisted in more than one category ( i.e., Electrical, sanitary and water
supply and furniture in addition to building and road shall have to make the required
deposit in the category where the deposit is the highest.
115. Standard Schedule of rates specifications:
It is not always possible to incorporate into tender documents the precise definition of
each item of work involved and the Engineering standard expected. It is also desirable
that the tenderers are generally made aware of the principles on which the work executed
will be priced. To facilitate these and also with a view to standardise the principles of
estimation, the DSR / Standard schedule rates and specifications applicable to the region
will generally form the basis of all estimates and tenders. Any change in standard
schedule of rates by appropriate authority of DSR will automatically apply to ITI
estimates and tenders.
SECTION XII
DEVIATIONS AND AMENDMENTS
116. Deviations:
During the execution of work, sometimes it may be necessary to carry out some items of
work not originally included in the tender. Further it may also be necessary to order for
deviation in work from the existing contract to cater for changes required during
execution. Where the item of work to be carried out is contingent upon the work already
entrusted to the contractor, it may be advantageous to order on the existing contract.
Such item should be ordered as “Deviation to the contract” It is always hinging on the
contractor to carry out additional work as per deviation order within limits prescribed
below:
Sanction of Deviations:
Apart from obligation of sanctioning rates of contract a proper check is needed on
deviations in quantities of higher / lower side for each and every item. In order to
exercise proper check on deviat
sanctions, following procedures shall be followed.
i. Deviations in quantities of individual item upto +/- 10% of agreement quantities will
not need any prior approval of Technical Sanctioning authority and sanction of deviation
is not required.
ii Deviations beyond this limit of +/- 10% should not be made at site without in principle
approval of Technical Sanctioning authority. Once in principle approval is obtained, the
total deviations (including initial +/-10%) shall be sanctioned by Officers as per
delegation of powers.
The amount of a deviation statement shall be the algebraic sum of deviation amounts of
all individual items.
117. While ordering deviations the following conditions should also be satisfied.
i. If deviations from the sanctioned plans and estimates become necessary these should
ordinarily be first discussed by the subordinate staff with the Executive Engineers and if
he agrees in principle then the proposals should be formulated. The Executive Engineer
shall then be responsible to obtain the prior sanction of the competent authority to such
deviations. The fact that the deviations are shown in the architect’s plan should not be
construed as having the sanction of the competent authority. The architect should
similarly obtain prior concurrence of the competent authority for making deviations from
the approved plans, on the basis of which estimates have been framed and tenders called
for. In the case of architects the competent authority will be the same authority who has
sanctioned the estimate technically.
ii. Officers of ITI have been delegated with the powers to sanction rates of additional and
substituted items of work in respect of each work. This will be as per the delegation of
powers issued by the management from time to time.
a.. These powers should be exercised for technical reasons only.
b. Scales of accommodation and furniture by the higher authority should not be
exceeded.
c.. These powers are in respect of each contract.
d. These powers will be exercised independently by each authority, i.e., E.E., S.E will
exercise the powers in addition to those of A E E / Asst. Engineer and Executive
Engineer respectively.
iii. “ The rates of extra / substituted items which have not been approved by the
competent authority may be paid to the contractor in the running account bills at part
rates to be termed as “Provisional rates”. The provincial rate to be paid should not
exceed.
75% of the rate recommended to the competent authority if the rate is directly available
in the relevant schedule of rate and,
50% of the rate recommended to the competent authority if it is based on market rates.
The payment at provisional rates should be done only when prior approval in principle to
execute the extra / substituted items has been obtained from the competent authority.
118. Pricing of Deviations:
The rates of additional altered or substituted item of work under this clause shall be
worked out in accordance with the following provisions in their respective order.
i. If the rates for the additional, altered or substituted items of work are specified in the
contract for similar nature of the work contractor is bound to carry out the additional,
altered or substituted work at the same rates as are specified in the contract for the work.
ii. If the rates for the additional, altered or substituted work are not specifically provided
in the contract for the work, the rates will be derived from the rates for a similar class of
work as are specified in the contract for the work.
iii. If the altered, additional or substituted work include any work for which no rate is
specified in the contract for the work and which cannot be derived from similar class of
work in the contract, then such work shall be carried out at the rates entered in ….*DSR
plus or minus percentage which the corresponding tendered amount bears to be estimated
cost in the entire work put to tender.
(* Here mention the name of schedule of rates applicable with the year. The year should
correspond to the year of DSR adopted in the estimate).
iv. If the rates for the altered, additional or substituted work cannot be determined in the
manner specified in sub clauses (I) to (iii) above, then the contractor shall within 7 days
of the date of receipt of order to carry out of the work, inform Engineer-in charge of the
rate which it is his intention to charge for such class of work, supported by analysis of
rate or rates claimed, and the Engineer-in charge shall determine the rate or rates on the
basis of prevailing market rates and pay the contractor accordingly. However, the
Engineer in charge, by notice in writing will be at full liberty to cancel his order to carry
out such class of work and arrange to carry it out in such manner as he may consider and
arrange to carry it out in such manner as he may consider advisable. But under no
circumstances, the contractor shall suspend the work on the plea of non settlement of
rates of items falling under this clause.
119. Amendments:
Where an item of work which is altogether new or is not contingent upon the work
already entrusted to the contractor or is likely to affect the work already entrusted to the
contractor, or is likely affect the scope of the contract substantially is proposed to be
ordered on the contractor, the same should be ordered as “Amendment” to the contract.
An officer who is competent to conclude a contract is also competent to amend the same
provided that the total value of the contract as amended falls within the powers of the
officer to accept the contract. However, amendment to contracts involving the following
requires approval of the authorities indicated below:
1. Where the amendment seeks to increase the rates in the existing contract accepted by
the Chief Engineer, prior approval of General Manager is required. In case of contracts
accepted by General Manager, prior approval of Managing Director should be obtained.
In case of contracts accepted by Managing Director / Chairman prior approval of
chairman should be taken.
ii. Amendments seeking to order fresh items falling beyond the scope of contract are to
be treated as single tender contracts and require the approval of the authorities competent
to accept such contracts.
In such cases, a single tender report is to be submitted to the next higher office ( General
Manager in the case of Chief Engineer / Dy. General Manager and Managing Director in
the case of General manager and chairman in the case of Managing Director.
The single tender report should clearly bring out the reasons for which competitive
tenders were not called for and whether financial concurrence was obtained.
In order to avoid disputes it is essential that :
a) All deviation order / amendments issued to contractor are reduced to writing and
b) The rates for the work so ordered are communicated to the contractor at the time the
deviation is ordered.
SECTION XIII
EXECUTION
120. Site order Books:
The Engineer-in-charge or his representative (s) will maintain a “Site order Book” for
each contract in which he will records all orders on contract for commencement of work,
deviations, stopping of work, and the contractor should be required to note these
instructions and sign in token thereof. Any objections raised by the contractor should be
promptly attended to and resolved without any delay.
The Engineer-in-charge or his representative (s) shall also maintain the following
registers / documents, in order to control the quality of works, as per relevant
specifications and also to ensure passing of materials / works at appropriate stages as per
terms of contract.
a)Works Diary / Site order book
b) In case of works where Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) is stipulated to be used from an
approved source / manufacturer, such registers need not be maintained. However, the
computerised despatch slips that are sent with each despatch of RMC shall be kept on
record.
c) Any other Register prescribed
d) Dismantled materials arising out of dismantlement through departmental works
i) The serviceable materials obtained from dismantlement of a building or
structure wherever not sold by tender or auction, should be recorded without
value in the measurement book for record purpose. On the basis of these
measurements, these should be taken in the Register of Dismantled Material .
After the entries are made in the Register, and duly attested by the Assistant
Engineer, the entries in the Measurement Book should be crossed by diagonal
red ink line with a suitable note that these materials have been entered in the
Register.
ii) A separate folio or set of folios should be kept apart for keeping the accounts
of dismantled materials pertaining to each work.
iii) The serviceable materials obtained from dismantlement should be used in the
works as far as possible and shall be shown as issued to works accordingly in
the Register. The unserviceable materials should be disposed of in the manner
prescribed in CPWD Manual.
iv) The undisposed balances should be physically verified at least once a year and
the result of the verification recorded in the “Remarks Column”.
v) This register (even for “Nil” transactions) should be submitted by the
Engineer in charge regularly each month alongwith the monthly accounts for
scruitiny. In cases where the Junior Engineers are stationed at places other
than the headquarters of the Sub-Divisions, separate registers should be
furnished by them every month for incorporating in the Register maintained
before its submission to Corporate Office. After the transactions have been
checked the Register should be laid before the Executive Engineer for
monthly review. The fact of such review should be placed on record in all
cases.
vi) In no case dismantled materials should be collected on the road berms. If for
any reasons, it is not found possible to comply with these instructions in any
particular case, the written approval of the Dy. Chief Engineer and local
authority, if any, should be obtained.
vii) The “ Empties” i..e., empty drums, tins, bags, and other containers should also
be included and accounted for in the Register of Dismantled Materials.
120.1 Dismantled materials arising out of dismantlement through contract.
i) In case of building or structure is dismantled through contract, a stipulation /
provision in the schedule of work can be made in the NIT / contract that the
contractor has to take away the dismantled materials within specified time,
and for which he should give credit to the Department at his tendered and
accepted rates.
ii) There may be cases where the intrisic value of the dismantled materials may
be more than the cost of dismantlement of the building / Structure. In that
event, sufficient safeguard should be taken through suitable stipulation /
provision in the NIT / contract whereby the contractor deposits the cost work.
The cost of dismantling shall be paid to him after he completes the
dismantling work. The cost of dismantling shall be paid to him after he
completes the dismantling work.
iii) The contract shall also have the usual provision of security deposit /
performance guarantee to ensure that the contractor completes the dismantling
work, and that he does not just walk away with the costly dismantled
materials.
iv) In case where dismantlement is part of construction contract, lump sum
stipulation can be made for dismantling and removing the dismantled
material, recovery of which can be made as early as possible preferably in first
three running bills.
120.2 Dismantled materials arising out of maintenance works
i) Relevant para of CPWD Manual may be referred to for disposal of dismantled
materials arising out of maintenance works done through contracts.
ii) In case of dismantled materials of negligible salvage value arising out of
departmental maintenance of works, such as electrical lamps and tubes, A.C
sheet ridges, PVC flooring etc., may not to be taken in the dismantled
materials account, and they shall be disposed of as deemed fit. The Engineer
shall exercise a check on the quantum of materials dismantled from their
normal consumption pattern.
iii) For other dismantled materials having salvage value arising out of such works,
these should be accounted for in the Register of Dismantled Materials, and
disposed of or re-used as the case may be.
121. Issue of Materials to contractors:
a) Only cement is the major item which is stipulated for issue in most of the contracts.
Stores issue to contractors under the terms of contract are intended for the exclusive use
and consumption on the work for which they are issued. There is inherent risk of their
pilferage and misuse if such stores are issued in bulk to contractors much in advance of
their actual requirement. It is essential that issue to contractors should be regulated and
restricted to actual requirements.
Comparison of actual consumption and theoretical calculation should be made after the
completion of the work and such variation is generally being made in the final bill stage
or pre-final bill.
Executive Engineer should keep a broad check on the consumption of cement at various
intermediate stages of works to make sure that there is no pilferage and misuse of cement.
On the authority of the contractors acknowledgement, the cost recoverable from him
should be debited at once to his personal account. The recovery from the contractor on
account of the cost of materials issued to him for use on a work should ordinarily be
made by deduction from the first bill authorisation as advance payment or an account
payment to him for the work. When any item is supplied in excess of permissible
variation over theoretical consumption, the recovery for excess should be made at twice
the issue rate, no recovery should be made for less use of issued item.
b) Issue of Materials not stipulated in the contract.
If at any subsequent to the execution of a contract as a through rate basis, the contrctor
desires the issue to him, for use as a work of materials which exist in company stocks, but
the supply whereof by the company was not provided for in the contract, the mterial
should not be issued except with the express authority of SE. who should specify in each
case the rate to be charged for the materials inclusive of delivery at the place where they
are stored. When submitting such a case to SE the Executive Engineer should elucidate
the circumstances which gave rise to this contingency and should also add his
recommendations in respect if the recovery rates for such materials. The rates charged
for the materials should be that provided in the analysis of rates for the item of work on
which it should be used plus and minus the percentage above and below the schedule rate
allowed to the contractor and market rate and stock issue rate plus storage charges
whichever is higher. No carriage and incidental charges should be borne by company in
connection with the supply.
122. Return of surplus material:
All materials issued to the contractor by the company for use on a particular work shall
on completion or foreclosure of the work be returned by the contractor at his expense at
the place of issue, after making the allowance for actual consumption. Surplus materials
returned by the contractor shall be credited to him by the Engineer in charge at rates not
exceeding those at which these were originally issue to him after taking into
consideration any deterioration or damage which may have been caused to the said
material while in custody of the contractor. If on completion of the works, the contractor
fails to return surplus material out of the materials thus supplied by the company., the
Engineer in charge may by a written notice to the contractor require him to pay for such
unreturned surplus materials at double the issue rates. This payment should be made by
the contractor normally within a fortnight after receipt of notice or this amount will be
recovered by the contractors final bill.
If materials are supplied by the company, it should be clearly mentioned in the tender
documents that for purpose of the contract, cement shall be issued to the contractor the
rate of ……..per bag of cement ……….plus handling charges of 10% over the rate.
In order to minimise the chances of pilferage from the site of work, the cement godown
should be properly and effectively double locked, keys of one lock remaining with the
Department and that of the other with the contractor.
A register should be maintained at the site of work containing the columns. These
registers should be properly numbered and each page initiated by the Executive
Engineer. The cement godown and the register should be checked by the Executive
Engineer atleast once a month.
ii. After the completion of the work, the theoretical quantity of cement to be used in the
work shall be calculated on the basis of statement showing quantity of cement to be used
in different items of work. In case any item is executed for which the standard constants
for the consumption of cement are not available in the above mentioned statement or
cannot be derived from this statement and the same shall be calculated on the basis of
standard formula to be laid down by the Engineer-in-charge. Over this theoretical
quantity of cement shall be allowed a variation upto 5% plus / minus for works the
estimated cost of which as put to tender is not more than Rs. 2 lakhs 4% plus/minus for
works the estimated cost of which put to 3% plus /minus for works the estimated cost of
which put to tender is above Rs.5 lakhs. The difference in the quantity of cement actually
issued to the contractor and the theoretical quantity including authorised variations, if not
returned by the contractor shall be recovered at twice the issue rate including storage
charge without prejudice to the provision of the relevant conditions regarding return of
materials governing the contract. In the event of it being discovered that the quantity
ascertained as herein before provided (allowing variations on the minus side as stipulated
above) the cost of the quantity of cement not so used shall be recovered from the
contractor on the basis of stipulated issue rate.
iii. The provisions of the foregoing sub clause apply in the case of steel reinforcement or
structural steel section except that the theoretical quantity of steel shall be taken as the
quantity required as per design or as authorised by the Engineer-in-charge, including
authorised lappages plus 5% minus 4% shall be allowed as variation due to wastage being
more or less.
iv. After the completion of the work, the theoretical quantity of bitumen to be used on
works shall be calculated on the basis of specification. Over the said theoretical quantity
of bitumen a variation upto plus (excess) 2 ½% shall be allowed.
123. Extension of Time:
The Engineering officer should ensure that all obligations on the part of ITI are
discharged without delay so that the contractors do not ask for extension of time. ITI also
should not undertake responsibility which it cannot discharge such as issue of stores /
tools and plants, etc., not available /not likely / to be available with ITI. Any change after
the award of work should strictly be avoided.
i. The following powers delegated to ITI officers for grant of extension of time is as per
the delegation of powers issued by Management from time to time.
In deciding the authority which is competent to grant extension of time the value of
individual contract should be the amount exclusive of the value of materials stipulated to
be supplied by the company. Where adequate and proper grounds exist the EE can grant
extension of time even in the absence of application from the contractor, however, he is
competent to act for and on behalf of the company.
ii. Sanction of extension of time will in all cases be issued by the Asst. Exe Engineer/
Exe. Engineer in the proforma . The form provides that the extension of time is granted
without prejudice to the right of the company to recover liquidated damages in terms of
the agreement. In all cases, a copy of letter granting extension of time will be endorsed
to audit / accounts. While doing so it should be made clear in the endorsement whether
the SE has decided to levy or not to levy compensation or liquidated damages.

ANNEXURE 25
STANDARD MEASUREMENT BOOKS
1. The Standard Measurement Books are maintained to record the measurements of permanent standing in a building and are
required to be brought uptodate from year to year on the basis of additions etc., to be made to the building during a year. These
are used for preparing the repairs estimates and contractors’ bills for such repairs so as to avoid taking detailed measurements on
each occasion.
2. The work of preparing these books will ordinarily be undertaken in accordance with the programme for each Unit.
3. All the Standard Measurement books should be numbered in an alphabetical series so as to be readily distinguishable from those
assigned to ordinary Measurement books.
4. These will be accounted for in the same manner as ordinary Measurement books in a register.
5. A similar register will be maintained in each Unit showing the books belonging to it; and reviewed as done in case of the
ordinary measurement books.
6. The Standard Measurement books should be written legibly in ink and certified as correct by a responsible officer.
7. The Standard Measurement Books should either be written by the AE/AEE himself or a Junior Engineer under his orders. Each
set of measurements taken by the Jr. Engineer should, however, be fully checked by the Asst. Engineer / Asst. Exe.Engineer after
which it should be examined by the Executive Engineer and declared in writing in the book itself as finally approved by him for
the purposes of preparing annual repair estimates and Contractors bills for the work done. Until this is done, the book will not be
assigned a number and will not be entered as the Register of Standard Measurement books.
8. The Standard Measurement Books will be brought uptodate under the supervision of AE/AEE with reference to the building or
work concerned within one month of closing of the accounts of the estimate therefore. All such corrections will be attested by
the AEE/AE. These should be maintained very carefully and accurately as they may have to be produced as evidence in a Court
of law.
9. The Executive Engineers are also required to exercise a check over the completion of Standard Measurement books from time to
time by personally examining each book atleast once a year. To this end, the programme of work should ordinarily be as follows:
a. As soon after the close of the official year as possible, the AEE / AE concerned will arrange for a personal examination
of these books with a view to satisfying himself that they have been brought uptodate with reference to the additions.
Alterations or special repairs carried out in the buildings or works during the preceding year and ensuring their
submission on such dates, as may be fixed for the purpose, for the inspection of CE / SE.
b. In order to ensure that all books have been entered in order, these will be subjected to such scrutiny as the unit head / CE
may direct. A comparison of these books with the accounts of expenditure and the record of connected measurements
relating to estimates for Additions / alterations or special repairs to buildings and works in the Unit should
however, form a feature of the check to be applied.
10. A record of the results of the scrutiny referred to above should invariably be retained and produced, if required, during the
inspection of Audit / Accounts officer.
11. A report should be made to the Chief Engineer, so as to reach him not later than the 31st July of each year with copy endorsed
to the concerned Accounts officer, certifying in clear terms:
i) that all the Standard Measurement Books of the Unit have been inspected by the Executive Engineer.
ii) That the entries made therein have not been tampered with.
iii) That all corrections due to additions or alterations to the building or work concerned have been carried out,
and
iv) That the books are reliable and uptodate records.
12. When a payment is based on standard measurements, the following certificates should invariably be recorded on the bill, in
his own handwriting by the AE / AEE preparing, examining or verifying it,
‘Certified that the whole of the work or work since previous running bill, as the case may be, as per standard measurements
has been done and that it has not previously been billed for in any shape’.
