2.1. The terms of a contract must be precise, definite, leaving no room for ambiguity, subject to adequate prior scrutiny of terms, general or special, if any, standard forms of contracts as vetted by Legal Department should be adopted, wherever possible. The alternatives used in the standard forms, which are not applicable, should be invariably scored out under signatures.
2.2. No relaxation of specifications agreed upon in a contract or relaxation of the terms of an
agreement entered into by the Authority should be made without proper examination of the financial effect involved due to such relaxation and without approval of competent authority.
2.3. While selecting the agency for award of contract, the financial status of the individuals
and firms must be taken into consideration in addition to all other relevant factors. 2.4 No work of any kind should be commenced without a proper award letter containing
price and other terms and conditions. 2.5. Provision must be made in contracts for safeguarding property of the Authority entrusted
to a contractor and for recovery of hire charges, if any, thereof. 2.6 When a contract is likely to endure for a long period or where the contract provide for a
clear schedule for the fulfillment of the various stages of the contract, it should include a provision for unconditional power of revocation or cancellation at the discretion of the Authority at any time on the expiry of reasonable notice to the effect.

2.7. All contracts should have a provision for recovery of liquidated damages for defaults on
the part of the contractor, unless any special instructions are issued by the competent authority.
