subtraction of subtotals, the subtotals shall prevail and the total shall
be corrected; and

documentation requested in ITT Clause 20 has been provided, and to

conditions specified in the GCC and the PCC have been accepted by the

Sub-Clause 43.1;

excess of the requirements of the Tender Document or otherwise result in
unsolicited benefits for the Employer will not be taken into account in Tender
evaluation.

applied over the period of execution of the Contract, shall not be taken into
account in Tender evaluation.
46.5 If so indicated in the TDS (ITT Sub-Clause 23.6), the Tender Document shall
allow Tenderers to quote separate prices for one or more lots, and shall allow
the Employer to award one or multiple lots to more than one Tenderer following
the methodology specified in ITT Sub-Clause 46.6.
46.6 To determine the lowest-evaluated lot or combination of lots, the Employer
shall take into account:
(a) The experience and resources sufficient to meet the aggregate of the
qualifying criteria for the individual lot;
(b) the lowest-evaluated Tender for each lot calculated in accordance with
the requirements of Evaluation Criteria;
(c) the price reduction per lot or combination of lots and the methodology
for their application as offered by the Tenderer in its Tender; and
(d) the Contract-award sequence that provides the optimum economic
combination taking into account any limitations due to constraints in
Works or execution capacity determined in accordance with the postqualification criteria under ITT Clause 49.
46.7 If the lowest Evaluated Tender is seriously unbalanced or front loaded in the
opinion of the Employer, the Employer may require the Tenderer to produce
detailed price analysis for any or all items of the BOQ, to demonstrate the
internal consistency of those prices with the construction methods and

schedule proposed. After evaluation of the price analysis, taking into

consideration the schedule of estimated Contract payments, the Employer
may require that the amount of the Performance Security set forth in ITT
Clause 53 be increased at the expenses of the Tenderer to a level sufficient to
protect the Employer against financial loss in the event of default by such
Tenderer during Contract implementation, if awarded the contract.

responsive Tender is qualified to perform the Contract satisfactorily.

evidence of the Tenderers qualifications submitted by the Tenderer, pursuant
to ITT Clause 28, to clarifications in accordance with ITT Clause 39 and the
qualification criteria indicated in ITT Clauses 11 to 16 inclusive. Factors not
included therein shall not be used in the evaluation of the Tenderers
qualification.
49.3 An affirmative determination shall be a prerequisite for award of the Contract to
the Tenderer. A negative determination shall result in rejection of the Tenderers
Tender, in which event the Employer shall proceed to the next lowest
evaluated Tender to make a similar determination of that Tenderers
capabilities to perform satisfactorily

53. Tenders:

Contractor of any Defects that are found. Such checking shall not
affect the Contractors responsibilities. The Engineer may instruct
the Contractor to search for a Defect and to uncover and test any
work that the Engineer considers may have a Defect.

91. Tests

53.1 If the Engineer instructs the Contractor to carry out a test not
specified in the Specification to check whether any work has a

the test and any samples. If there is no Defect, the test shall be a
Compensation Event.

92. Examination of
Work before
covering up

54.1 No part of the Works shall be covered up or put out of view without

Quantities

58.1 If the final quantity of the work done differs from the quantity in the
Bill of Quantities for the particular item by more than twenty-five
percent (25%), provided the change exceeds one percent (1%) of
the Initial Contract Price, the Engineer shall adjust the rate to allow
for the change.
58.2 The Engineer shall not adjust rates from changes in quantities if
thereby the Initial Contract Price is exceeded by more than fifteen
percent (15%), except with the prior approval of the Employer.
58.3 If requested by the Engineer, the Contractor shall provide the

carrying out the Variation when requested to do so by the Engineer.
The Engineer shall assess the quotation, which shall be given
within seven days of the request or within any longer period stated
by the Engineer and before the Variation is ordered.
60.2 If the work in the Variation corresponds with an item description in
the Bill of Quantities and if, in the opinion of the Engineer, the
quantity of work above the limit stated in GCC Sub-Clause 58.1 or
the timing of its execution do not cause the cost per unit of quantity
to change, the rate in the Bill of Quantities shall be used to
calculate the value of the Variation. If the cost per unit of quantity
changes, or if the nature or timing of the work in the Variation does
not correspond with items in the Bill of Quantities, the quotation by
the Contractor shall be in the form of new rates for the relevant
items of work.
60.3 If the Contractors quotation is found to be unreasonable, the
Engineer may order the Variation and make a change to the
Contract Price, which shall be based on the Engineers own
forecast of the effects of the Variation on the Contractors costs.
60.4 If the Engineer decides that the urgency of varying the work would
prevent a quotation being given and considered without delaying
the work, no quotation shall be given and the Variation shall be
treated as a Compensation Event.

payment. Interest shall be calculated from the date by which the
payment should have been made up to the date when the late
payment is made at the prevailing rate of interest for commercial
borrowing established in Bangladesh.

of an award by the Adjudicator, or an Arbitrator, the Contractor shall
be paid interest upon the delayed payment as set out in this clause.

1.2 FOUNDATION PIT EXCAVATION:
Earth work is required shall be done as per direction of the Engineer-in-charge. Before any
excavation commences, the centre lines, side widths etc. are to carefully mark out on the ground.
The foundation pit is to be dug. truly to the level shown in the drawing. Where the soil is
strong and the pit above water level, the whole area may at the discretion of the
Engineer-in-charge the opened out prior to commencement of construction. In such a
soil bottom of the pit is to be dug truly to the plan of the bottom of the foundations and
the side slopes to be as stiff as is compatible with safety from slips under the shock of
remaining care should be taken to see that the bottom of the foundation trench is
perfectly leveled both longitudinally and transversely.
Excavated materials shall be carried to a suitable place as direction by the Engineer-in-charge.
2. EARTH FILLING:

layers of not more than 6 inches in thickness. Care to be taken that no clods, roots, grass
or other rubbish, be buried in the fillings, the earth must be laid gently to prevent dust
setting on to top of the completed course of R.C.C. works. The materials used for
backfill shall be selected earth approved by the Engineer-in-charge. and the top layers
of pit must be filled in by filling sand of minimum F.M.=0.8.
3. SAND FILLING :
Filling sand should have minimum F.M.0.8. All foreign materials and trash, organic materials
living or non-living shall be removed from filling sand. Filling sand should be placed in layers,
each layer shall be spread level and in 6 inch thickness or less. To ensure this 1 x 2 timber
stakes 3 ft. long painted red and black alternately in 3 inch graduations shall be driven 10 centers
either way covering the entire floor area. These stakes shall be so driven that their tops are level
with the required formation level of the fill. After laying one layer all stumps and clods shall be
beaten into powder by wooden mallets or rammers. Next the soil will be compacted by 10 lbs.
iron rammer. Water should be sprinkled on the soil if it is dry. Ramming shall be carried out
methodically so that every area receives the same number of blows by the rammer. The
compaction shall be carried to a dry density of the compacted soil at min. 110 pcf.
Each layer after being compacted shall receive inspection and approval by the Engineer-in-charge
before the next layer is placed. The operation shall be continued layer by layer till the formation
level is reached.
Measurement of this work shall be based on consolidated thickness.

Measurement shall be made on the finished work. The concrete floor foundation shall
be cured for at least two weeks.
5.2 WORKABILITY-SLUMP TEST :
It may be defined as the case with which concrete can be mixed handled transported and placed.
Workability will therefore, very according to the type of mould that is being used for the concrete
structure under construction and the obstruction to the free flow of concrete caused by the spacing
and nature of the reinforcement. In determining workability slump test shall be carried out daily
at site and grading adjusted to give the required slump keeping the quantity of cemented water
constant. For carrying out the slump test, the newly mixed concrete shall be placed in a truncate
cone-shaped metal mold 12 high and 4 dia metal at the top 8 diameter at the bottom and
provided with handles. The concrete shall be lightly tamped with a rod as it is the mold which

7.2 MEASURING AGGREGATE:
The fine and coarse aggregate shall be measured loose in a measuring box general made of timber
and struck off. The measuring box shall be such size as to contain the exact amount of sand
required for mixing with one bag of cement ( 112 lbs= 50 kg. or 1.25 cft.).
7.3 MIXING:
All concrete mixing shall be made by concrete mixture machine. Hand mixing may be allowed by
the Engineer-in-charge under unavoidable or special circumstances.
Flowing precautions shall be taken while using mixers. The mixer should not lead. Hardened
mortar or concrete should not be allowed to stand in the mixer, worn blades should be replaced,
the quantity of ingredients, putting should not normally exceed the rated capacity, the charging of
the mixer should be done in such a way that each ingredient does not enter separately, the
introductions of water should be started before the other ingredients are put in and the total
quantity of water should be in the mixer before one quarter or the mixing period has lapsed. All
mixers machine should be capable of easily discharging concrete of 1 slump to ensure easy
discharge of concrete of all consistencies.
Mixing should be continued until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the mixture
exhibits uniform color. In machine mixing the time of mixing should not be less than 1-50
minutes and should be preferably 2 minutes. The minutes period is particularly desirable if the
concrete is a lean mix or contains harsh aggregate. If large mixers are employed the normal
mixing period should be increased .50 minutes for each 25 cft. above the first 25 cft.
112

239475352.doc

7.4 CONVEYING:
Concrete shall be conveyed in such a manner so as to prevent loss of group or the chief damage
segregation. The individual component of concrete tends to aggregate because of their
dissimilarity. If overly wet concrete studding in containers such as flows within the forms. Tends
of separate the course grabble form the fine components of the mix.
7.5 PLACING OF CONCRETE:
Before placing concrete the sub-grade should be properly prepared and the forms and
reinforcements should be erected as called for on the plans, sub-grades should be trimmed to
specified elevation and should be mist when the concrete is placed. A moist sub-grade is
specifically important to prevent too rapid extraction of water from the concrete when
pavements, floors and similar works are being placed in hot weather. Where the foundation is
rock, all loose materials should be removed before the concrete is placed. When necessary to cut
rock, the surfaces in general should be vertical and horizontal and not sloping.
When forms are used, they shall be clean, tight, adequately braced and contracted of materials
that will impart the design texture to the finished concrete. Care should be taken to see that saw
dust, nails and other debris are removed from the space to be concreted. Forms should be
moistened or oiled previous to placing of concrete to facilitate from removal. Where they have
been exposed to the sun for some time it may be necessary to maturate the wood thoroughly.
Reinforcing steel should be cleaned and free of loose rust or mill scale at the time the concrete is
placed. Any contends of hardened materials should be removed from the steel. The concrete shall
be placed before the initial set so that it remains workable and can be compacted satisfactorily.
Additional water shall not be added to improve workability as it after the water cement ratio.
The set concrete shall not be disturbed, as it prevents adequate hardening.
Placing of concrete shall be done in continued operation will the predetermined position of
construction joint is reached.

In case of reinforced concrete work using shutter or from the shutter and from must be rendered
watertight and concrete shall not be deposited until reinforcement and forms and their support
have been inspected and passed by the Engineer-in-charge.
If concrete has to be dropped from some height it should be dropped through a pipe with a hopper
attachment on top, and with the discharge and close to the final position of the concrete. Buckets
with Hooper bottom and openings are a good means of placing concrete. The bottom openings in
hopper should be adequate to discharge the concrete of the stiffest consistency.
Laitance must be prevented on horizontal layer when stooping work by removing any
Creaming or excess water as soon as the concrete is laid and compacted. Where Latinate has
