Concrete of Controlled Quality :
Concrete of controlled quality shall be used on all concrete works. These shall be in
grades M-100, M-150, M-200, M-250, M-300 and M-350.
The concrete mix shall be designed to have an average strength
corresponding to values specified for preliminary test given in Table-2 for strength
requirements of concrete.
The maximum total quantity of aggregate by weight per 50 Kg. of cement
shall not exceed 450 Kg. except where otherwise specifically permitted by the
Engineer-in-Charge.
Except where it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Engineer-in-Charge
that supply of properly graded aggregate of uniform quality can be maintained over
the period or work, the grading of aggregate should be controlled by obtaining the
coarse aggregate in different sizes and blending them in the right proportions when
required, the different sizes being stocked in separate stock piles. The materials
should be stock-piled for several hours preferably a day before use. The grading of
coarse and fine aggregate should be checked as frequently as possible, the
frequency for as given job being determined by the Engineer-in-Charge to ensure
that the contractor is maintaining the grading uniform with that of the samples used
in the preliminary tests.
In proportioning concrete, the quantity of both cement and aggregate should
be determined by weight. Where the weight of cement is determined by accepting
the maker's weigh per bag, a reasonable number of bags should be Weighed
separately to check the net weight. Where the cement is weighed on the site and not
in bags it should be weighed separately from aggregate . Water should be either
measured by volume in calibrated tanks or weighed. All measuring equipment
should be maintained in a clean serviceable condition and their accuracy periodically
checked.
Vol. II / 16
The water-cement ratio constant shall be maintained by the Contractor at its
correct value. To this end, determination of moisture contents in both fine and coarse
aggregates should be made as frequently as possible the frequency for a given job
being determined by the Engineer-in-Charge according to weather conditions. The

TRANSFORMERS
3.1
SCOPE
This section covers the detailed requirements regarding supply,
installation, testing, commissioning and handing over of transformers
required for the sub-station.
Conventionally oil cooled transformers were being used for electrical
substation. However due to presence of oil for cooling of transformers, an
inherent fire risk is involved in the use of oil cooled transformers.
After repeated fire accidents due to burning of oil in oil cooled
transformers, I.E. Rules have been amended to provide for use of only dry
type transformers where a substation is planned inside the main building
while oil cooled transformers can continue to be used if the substation is
located in an independent building.
There are two types of dry type transformers viz. vacuum pressure
impregnated (VPI) dry type transformers and cast resin dry type
transformers. This section provide for use of both the type of dry type
transformers where individual capacity of transformer does not exceed
400 KVA. Only cast resin dry type transformers shall be used for higher

Pre-BID Conference
It is proposed to hold a pre-bid conference with the prospective tenderers
to enable them to seek clarification on the technical specification and in
tender documents that they may consider necessary for submission of
tenders (technical bid & price bid). All clarifications sought for will be
finalized during the pre-bid conference and confirmatory minutes for the
pre-bid conference will be circulated among all tenderers who have been
issued the tender documents irrespective of the fact they have attended
the pre bid conference or not. The date and time of pre-bid conference will
be informed to the tenderers at the time of issue of the tenders. It is upto
the prospective tenderers to take part in the pre-bid conference. Non
attendance of prebid conference does not debar the prospective tenderer
from participating & submission of tender. No separate pre-bid conference
will be conducted for the firms who do not attend the pre-bid conference
on the date & time fixed for the purpose.
