corrections in the quoted figures will be entertained after the proposals are submitted to
NICSI. All corrections, if any, should be initialed by the person signing the proposal form
before submission, failing which the figures for such items may not be considered.
ii. Arithmetic errors in proposals will be corrected as follows:
i. In case of discrepancy between the GTV and the total cost provided for the component in
the detailed cost break up, the following methodology shall be adopted
1. If GTV is LESS than sum total of all the weighted values of each item in the
detailed financial sheet, then the values for constituent items will be reduced
proportionately and the revised costs will be recalculated accordingly. Thus revised
rates of constituent items will be applicable.
For e.g. If GTV=98 & item wise sum of the costs in the detailed cost break up sheet
is 100 , then each item in Financial Bid will be multiplied by a factor 98/100. Thus
the new item wise values shall be the final quote. If L1 bidder fails to accept the
individual unit rates rationalized as per above procedure, their bid will be treated as
cancelled and EMD will be forfeited.
