Materials supplied free of cost by Railway to the contractors shall fall outside the purview of Price Variation clause. If, in any case, accepted offer includes some specific payment to be made to consultants or some materials supplied by Railway free or at fixed rate, such payments shall be excluded from the gross value of the work for the purpose of payment/recovery of price variation. Applicability of PVC based on original contract value is illustrated as under: “If estimated value of tender (NIT value) is Rs.55 lakhs; but value of the contract as per contract agreement is Rs.45 laksh, then PVC shall not apply, even if the actual final value is Rs.50 laksh or more due to variation in quantities during execution of the contract. Thus, variation in quantities after signing of contract agreement is not relevant for deciding whether PVC is applicable to a contract or not”.

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





21

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

tenders or by negotiating with existing contractor, with prior personal

concurrence of FA&CAO/ FA&CAO(C) and approval of General Manager.

4. The limit for varying quantities for minor value items shall be 100% (as against

25% prescribed for other items). A minor value item for this purpose is defined as

an item whose original agreement value is less than 1% of the total original

agreement value.

5. No such quantity variation limit shall apply for foundation items.

6. As far as SSR/SOR items are concerned, the limit of 25% would apply to the

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

However, in case of NS items, the limit of 25% would apply on the individual

items irrespective of the manner of quoting the rate (single percentage rate or

individual item rate).

7. For the tenders accepted at the Zonal Railways level, variations in the quantities

will be approved by the authority in whose powers revised value of the agreement

lies.

8. For tenders accepted by General Manager, variations upto 125% of the original

agreement value may be accepted by General Manager.

9. For tenders accepted by Board Members and Railway Ministers variations upto

110% of the original agreement value may be accepted by General Manager

10. The aspect of vitiation of tender with respect to variation in quantities should be

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.

11. In cases where decrease is involved during execution of contract:

a. The contract signing authority can decrease the items upto 25% of

individual item without finance concurrence.

b. For decrease beyond 25% for individual items or 25% of contract

agreement value, the approval of an officer not less than rank of S.A.

Grade may be taken, after obtaining „No claim certificate‟ from the

contractor and with finance concurrence giving detailed reasons for each

such decrease in the quantities.

c. It should be certified that the quantities proposed to be reduced will not be

required in the same work at a later stage

d. In the event of any reduction in the quantity to be executed for any reasons

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

all value of the agreement.





22

12. In case the contractor fails to attend the meeting after being notified to do so or in

the event of no settlement being arrived at, the Railway shall be entitled to execute

the extra works by other means and the contractor shall have no claim for loss or

damage that result from such procedure

12. Employment of Civil Engineering Graduates/Diploma-holders:

more than Rs.25 lakhs but less than Rs.2 Crores. Technical staff should be available at

site whenever required by the Engineer-in-charge to take instructions. In case the

contractor fails to employ the technical staff as aforesaid, he shall be liable to pay a

reasonable amount not exceeding a sum of Rs.40,000/- (forty thousand only) for each

month of default in case of graduate engineer and Rs.25,000/- (twenty five thousand

only) for each month of default in case of diploma holder (over-seer)
