the contractor’s hand and re-contract with any other person or persons to complete the

work or any part thereof and in that event the Owner shall have free use of all

Contractor’s equipment that have been at the time on the site in connection with the

works without being responsible to the contractor for fair wear and tear thereof and to

the exclusion of any right of the contractor over the same, and If the sum that the

contractor is entitled to be paid plus the costs incurred by the owner in

completing the works, exceeds the contract price or the entire works if entire

works have been completed or the price for part of the work if part of the work

: GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION:

1. Details of categories of check codes A,B & C including accepting and deviation dispositioning authorities

are indicated at annexure-I

2. GETCO specification shall mean GETCO technical specification, approved drawings data sheets andLaw

provisions applicable for the specific contract.

3. Acceptance criteria and permissible limits shall be as perrelevant Indian Standards and/ or prevalent code

of practice / GETCO specifications.

4. It is clarified that the tests indicated at column 2 of this FQP i.e. Against column “component operation &

Description of test “, are only generally required to be conducted. However GETCO reserves the rightto

carry-out any additional tests at any stage if the situation so warrants.

5. SE (TR) of circle shall approve testing laboratory before accepting the test results from the lab.

6. SE (TR) of circle shall approve the sources for cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate & water before

actual utilization.

7. All the testing & measuring equipments used by the contractor for testing are required to be calibrated. A

Copy of valid calibration report shall be retained by GETCO based on the joint inspection.

8. Classification of foundations shall be approved by GETCO based on the joint inspection report & Soil

investigation reports.

9. Zone-IV fine aggregateshall be used for nominal mix. Reinforced cement concreting work.

Zone-IV fine aggregate shall be avoided for design mix reinforced cement concreting work unless tests

have been done to ascertain the suitability of proposed with the prior approval GETCO sit.

10. Bricks should be free from cracks, flaws and modules of free lime. They should have smooth rectangular

faces with sharp corners and should be uniform in colour.

In case of cement is in the scope of the contractor, the same shall be procured from sources approved by

GETCO site and got tested on sample basis for specified acceptance tests as specified in the FQP at a

reputed third party lab approved by GETCO site.

The samples of cement for site testing shall be taken within three week of the delivery and all the tests

shall be commenced within one week of sampling. If the cement remains in store for a period of more

Six months. All the site tests are required to repeated before usage.

The source and grade of cement shall be as per approved design mix.

12. Reinforcement steel & structural steel used in cable trenches & foundations

In case supply of steel is in the scope of the contractor, the same shall be procured from the main

producers i.e. SAIL, TISCO, IISCO or RashtriyaIspat Nigam or the rerollers approved by main producers.

The results of testing of cement and reinforcement steel referred in 12.1 and 13.1 above shall be got

approvedfrom GETCO site before cement and reinforcement steel are put to use. However, in

exceptional cases due to exigencies of work, GETCO site may authorize the contractor to use cement

and reinforcement steel even before the test results are received. However, in all such cases, if the test

results subsequently received are found to be not complying with the specified acceptance criteria, the

contractor shall have to dismantle and recast all such foundations cast with such non-conforming

materials at his own cost. Confirmation to this effect shall be obtained from the contractor by the project

authorities beforehand in all such cases.

13. The contractor shall submit welding procedure specification (WPS) including the type of electrode used

for approval of GETCO site before staring the welding work. The welder with proper certificate shall be

14. Approval/acceptance of individual test results by GETCO in the course of execution of contract

will neither relieve the contractor from his contractual obligations and responsibilities, nor does it limit the

owner’s right under the contract.

15. In case, requirement of special items like super sulphated cement, corrosive resistant reinforcement

Steel (CRS) etc. arise due to site conditions, the specific approval of GETCO may be obtained before

using the same and all the tests as per relevant standards shall be carried out.

16. All the materials shall be stored by the contractor in a manner affording convenient access for

and inspection at all the times. Storage of material shall be in accordance with IS: 4032 (latest edition).
