dispositioning authorities are indicated at annexure-I

2. GETCO specification shall mean GETCO technical specification, approved

drawings data sheets and Law provisions applicable for the specific contract.

3. Acceptance criteria and permissible limits shall be as per relevant 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 right to 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

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 aggregate shall 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

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

Nigam or the rerollers approved by main producers.

The results of testing of cement and reinforcement steel referred in 12.1 and

above shall be got approved from 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

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 sulphate 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 identification and inspection at all the times. Storage of
