The Contractor shall be bound to carry out the service at the agreed rates and shall not be entitled to any claim or any compensation whatsoever upto the limit of 25% variation in quantity of individual item of services.

VALUATION OF VARIATIONS: The variation referred to in sub- clause 5.3.2 of this (GCC Service) Clause shall in no degree affect the validity of the contract; but shall be performed by the Contractor as provided therein and be subject to the same conditions, stipulations and obligations as if they had been originally and expressively included and provided for in the Specifications and Drawings and the amounts to be paid therefore shall be calculated in accordance with the accepted Schedule of Rates. Any extra items/quantities of work falling outside the purview of the provisions of Sub-Clause 5.3.2above shall be paid for at the rates determined under Clause-4.42.1 (GCC Service) of these Conditions. VARIATIONS IN QUANTITIES DURING EXECUTION OF SERVICE CONTRACTS: The procedure detailed below shall be adopted for dealing with variations in quantities during execution of service contract- 1. Individual NS items in contracts shall be operated with variation of plus or minus 25% and payment would be made as per the agreement rate. For this, no finance concurrence would be required. 2. 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 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) Variation to 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. 3. In case 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 of such decrease in the quantities. (c) It should be certified that the work proposed to be reduced will not be required in the same work.

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. As far as SOR items are concerned, the limit of 25% would apply to the value of SOR schedule as a whole and not on individual 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). 6. For the Tenders accepted at Zonal Railways level, variations in the quantities will be approved by the authority in whose powers revised value of the agreement lies. 7. For Tenders accepted by General Manager, variations upto 125% of the original agreement value may be accepted by General Manager. 8. The aspect of variation of tender with respect to variation in quantities should be checked and avoided. In case of variation of the tender (both increase as well as decrease of value of contract agreement, the variation shall be on the contractor's account payment shall be restricted to the lowest calculated value of all valid offers).

An exercise of holding "SAMVAD" with the concerned contractual staff shall be taken up by the senior supervisor and office concerned for adequate sensitization regarding waste management.

(i)The quoted rates shall not be less than the minimum wages and shall include all statutory obligations. Bids without any element of cost over the above such minimum wage (or below it) shall be treated as 'NIL" price and offer would be rejected. (ref: 2017(EnHM/2511) dated 16.11.2023.
