sufficient quantities are available in stock at site. Special care should be

taken in preparing the surface at the weld collars, liner contact areas and

uniformity of preparation at these locations shall be attained to that of

rest of the surface. Generally weld collars and liner contact areas are

considered most corrosive prone areas. From which fatigue failures

develop.

2.2 The screening should be taken up to cover full width of ballast section. The

ballast above the formation should be taken up for screening. Any deficiency

in ballast cushion should be made good by lifting the track to the longitudinal

level decided after proper survey. No extra payment will be paid for such

subsequent lift involved to achieve the required clean cushion.

2.3 Before deep screening work is started, longitudinal profile of track will taken

and final profile marked at 30 m interval on pegs, duly taking into account

Railways Engineer in charge. The contractor shall maintain the rail level after

deep screening to the level as indicated on the peg or as directed by the

Engineer in charge.

2.4 The work of deep screening will include removing ballast including the core

below the sleeper and excavating below the bottom of sleeper up to the

formation level as directed by the Engineer in charge. The ballast so removed

should be screened by using portable inclined ballast screened with 20 mm

openings. The use of wire baskets for screening is not permissible.

Muck/spoils should disposed off as directed by the Engineer in charge.

2.5 Deep screening work must be organized with independent screening,

reclaiming the finishing partial each of adequate strength

11. VARIATION IN CONTRACT QUANTITIES:-

The procedure as detailed below shall be adopted for dealing with variations in quantities

during execution of works contracts:

a) The Railway reserves the right to alter the designs and drawings. If due to change of

drawing or design or any other reasons, there be variations, either increase or decrease in

quantities, payment will be made only for the actual quantities executed at the accepted

rates. If there be sufficient cause the Railway may grant extension of the date of

completion suitably. Such circumstances shall in no way affect or vitiate the contract or

alter the character thereof, or entitle the contractor to damages or compensation thereof

except as provided for in this contract.

b) The quantities of each item of work furnished in the Schedule are approximate and are

intended for the guidance of Tenderer/Contractor. In actual execution of work there may

be some increase in the quantities specified. Such variation upto 25% shall in no degree

affect the validity of the contract and it shall be performed by the contractor as provided

therein and be subjected to the same conditions, stipulations and obligations originally

and expressly included and provided for in specifications and drawings and the amount

to be paid there for shall be calculated in accordance with accepted schedule rates.

(1) Prior Finance concurrence is necessary for varying the individual quantities

beyond 25% or where the gross agreement value exceeds 25% of the agreement

value.

(2) Individual NS items in contracts shall be operated with variations of plus or minus

25% and payment would be made as per the agreement rate. For this, no Finance

concurrence would be required.

(3) In case an increase in quantity of an individual item by more than 25% of the

agreement quantity is considered unavoidable, the same shall be got executed by

floating a fresh tender. If floating a fresh tender for operating that item is

considered not practicable, quantity of that item may be operated in excess of

125% of the agreement quantity (100% i.e. the original quantity +25% i.e. quantity

over and above the original quantity) subject to the following conditions.

a) Operation of an item by more than 125% of the agreement quantity needs

the approval of an officer of the rank not less than S.A. Grade:

i) Quantities operated in excess of 125% but upto 140% of the

agreement quantity of the concerned item, shall be paid at 98% of the

rate awarded for that item in that particular tender;

ii) Quantities operated in excess of 140% but upto 150% of the

agreement quantity of the concerned item shall be paid at 96% of the

rate awarded for that item in that particular tender;

iii) Variation in quantities of individual items beyond 150% will be

prohibited and would be permitted only in exceptional unavoidable

circumstances with the concurrence of associate finance and shall be

paid at 96% of the rate awarded for that item in that particular tender

b) The variation in quantities as per the above formula will apply only to the

Individual items of the contract and not on the overall contract value.

c) Execution of quantities beyond 150% of the overall agreement value should

not be permitted and, if found necessary should be only through fresh

agreement value.

value of SSR/SOR schedule as a whole and not on individual SSR/SOR items.

checked and avoided. In case of vitiation of the tender (both for increase as well as

decrease of value of contract agreement) sanction of the competent authority as per

single tender should be obtained.

whatsoever, the contractor shall not be entitled to any compensation but

shall be paid only for the actual amount of work done.

e. The contractor is bound to notify the Engineer at least seven days before the

necessity arises for the execution of any item in excess of 25% of the over
