Article 192 Invitation to Tender:

Before a work is given on
contract,
the
government
servant who is competent to
enter in contract on behalf of
the government should have
the
necessary
contract
documents prepared.
He
should
invariably
invite
tenders when the amount
involved in the contract is
Rs.2,500 or more unless a
competent
authority
has
given special permission to
dispense with tenders. When
the amount involved is less
than Rs 2,500 the authority
competent
to sanction the
work has discretion to decide
whether or not tender should
be
invited,
as
seems
desirable in each case.
A
work must not be split up
into parts or some of which
cost less than Rs.2,500 with a
view to giving contracts
without calling for tenders
should invariably be invited

Power should always be

be expressly stated in every
invitation to tender.
No
tender should be accepted
from any person directly or
indirectly
connected
with
government service.
The
tenders should be opened in
the presence of any of the
tenderers or their authorised
agents who are present at
the notified time and place.
The government servant who
opens the tenders should
initial every correction in
each tender which has been
initialed by the tender, if there
is any correction in a tender
itself when it is opened. He
CONTRACTOR
69
should keep a personal note

of the total number of tenders
opened by him and check it
with the number shown in
the comparative statement or
tenders.
After the receipt of the
comparative statement and
before the selection of a
tenderer,
the
officer
concerned should examine all
the
tenders
and
satisfy
himself that no corrections
which were not in the tenders
at the time he received them
have been made in any of
them.

Note.3:- In the case of road
work in the scheduled areas,
the EE may, if he thinks it
desirable to do so, refrain
from calling for tenders even
when the amount involved
exceeds Rs. 2,500 but if he
does not call for tenders for
such a work, he should
record his reasons.

The Government
servant who has to select
tender
for
acceptance
should
take
into
consideration the financial
status of each tenderer, his
capability,
the
security
which he offers and his
CONTRACTOR
71
record in regard to the

execution or other works.
When other conditions are
equal, he should accept the
lowest tender.
If the
accepts a tender other than
the lowest, he should keep
a confidential record of his
reasons for doing so and
should produce this record
for perusal by the AG or a
duly authorised member of
his staff, if requested to do
so.
Departmental
inspecting officers should
also examine every case of
acceptance of a tender
other than the lowest, and
report
to
the
higher
authorities any such case
for which, in the opinion of
the inspecting officer, there
was
no
sufficient
justification.
The acceptance or rejection of
a tender is a matter within
the discretion of the
government servant to whom
the duty is entrusted, and no
tenderer should be told the
reasons for rejecting his
tender. When it is considered
desirable to do so, a superior
authority or the AG or a duly
authorised member of his
staff will call on the
government servant who dealt
with the tenders to justify the
manner in which he exercised
CONTRACTOR
72
his discretion and may

require him to state his
reasons for rejecting any
particular tender.
When tenders have been
invited for a work in
accordance with Article 192
and there is no response or
all the tenders received are
rejected as being
unsatisfactory and it is
considered that a call for
further tenders would be
fruitless or in undesirable,
the government servant who
is competent to accept a
tender for the work may select
a contractor and allot the
work to him after obtaining
the sanction of his
immediately superior
authority.

Article 196 Alteration to design during

If any important structural
alteration is found to be
desirable whilst a work is
being constructed, the
proposal to make it should be
submitted for fresh
administrative approval by
the authority which gave the
original administrative
approval, even when it is not
likely to cause any increased
outlay. Revised detailed plans
and estimates should be
submitted for technical
sanction, if the alteration
involved any substantial
change in the cost of the
work.
Article 197 Revised Estimates:
A revised estimate should
be submitted when the
sanctioned
estimate
is
likely to be exceeded by
more than 5 percent for
any cause whatever or
when
material
developments or deviations
have necessitated revised
administrative approval. A
report should be sent with
it showing the progress
made up to date and
explaining fully why the
revision is necessary. The
revised estimate need not
contain details of the items

merely a note stating that
they are not altered; a

Para No.112 Preparation of estimates:

The papers to be submitted

will consist of a report, a
specification and a detailed
statement
of
measurements, quantities
and rates, with an abstract
showing the total estimated
cost in rupees only of each
item.
These documents
form what is called the
estimate in the sense of
this Code. The form of the
abstract will depend on the
method proposed for the
execution of the work. If it
is intended to purchase or
supply materials and to
employ
labour
for
construction
separately
(whether by contract or
departmental agency), the
abstract of the estimate
should be so framed as to
show separately for each
distinct item of artificers
work (1) the
cost and
quantity of labor, and (2)
the cost of materials. But if
this is not the case, e.g.,
when any item of work is to
be executed by contract
and it is proposed to
contract for the completed
items of work, the abstract
of the estimate may show
merely the quantity and
cost of each item of work.

In selecting the tender to be accepted,

the financial status of the tenderers,
their capability, the security offered
by them or the record of their
execution of any works previously,
should be taken into consideration.
Other conditions being equal, the
lowest tender should be accepted. In
cases where a tender other than the
lowest is accepted, a confidential
record should be kept of the reason
for doing so.
Specific data with
reference to the financial solvency,
income tax paid, the ability of the
contractor to execute the work,
security offered by him, the names of
atleast some works executed formally
by the contractor, amount involved
therein
and the conduct and
performance of the contractor during
the execution of the tenderer whose
tender has been accepted but also of
the tenderers whose tender has been
rejected. The relative merits of the
various contractors concerned should
be discussed and cogent reasons
should be given while rejecting lower
tenders, if they are to be rejected.
This confidential record should be
shown to the Inspecting Officer of the
Audit department, if required.
In addition, in case where it is

contractors, having
running accounts, should
be sent to the divisional
office for final record, after
final bills have been paid to
the contractors. Until then
such books if not required

If the
measurements taken are
the
first

of
measurements on a running
account, or the first and
final measurements, this
CONTRACTOR
122
fact should be suitably

noted against the entries in

in the latter case the actual
date of completion noted in
the prescribed place. The
signature of the contractor
or his agent should be
obtained in measurement
books after each set of
measurements, with the
addition:
I accept the
measurement. In the case
of illiterate men their marks
should be attested by an
independent witness.
(e) Entries
should
be
recorded continuously in

from the firms direct to
the division concerned.

(Electrical Engineer,
General Division, who is
in charge of electrical

shall check measure all
first and final bills over
Rs.25/- upto Rs.1,000/wherever possible before

done by him at the
earliest opportunity after
payment, the reasons for
not having done check
measurement

128
by him in the Remarks

column
of

In the case of supplies
of which, it is not possible
for the AE to check

he should satisfy himself
to the extent possible at
the
earliest
possible
opportunity
after
payment
that
the
supplies
have
been
actually
received
and
used on the works for
which they were obtained
and record to that effect
in
the
concerned
measurement book.
Note.1:- This rule does not
apply to advance
payments made under
para 313 subject to
detailed measurements.
It applies to the bills in
which the advance
payments are adjusted
after detailed
measurements.
Note.2:- Measurements of all

jungle or prickly pear to
be cleared whether the
jungle is solid or in
patches should be
CONTRACTOR
129
recorded by the section

officer in a measurement
book before clearance.
The sub divisional officer
should also check
measure the works before
clearance except in the
case of those costing less
than Rs.50 in out of the
way places where there
are no other works
requiring sub divisional
officers attention. In
such cases the EE of the
Division concerned will
decide whether the work
should be check
measured or not.
Clearance which cost
more than Rs.300 should
be inspected by the sub
divisional officer after
clearance and before
payment.
(2)
In addition to check
measurement by the sub
divisional officers it is an
important duty of EE /
divisional Engineers that
they should , during their
inspections, frequently
check measure works
which are in progress and
that they should
maintain a register of
such check
measurements. The
number of check
CONTRACTOR
130
measurements by the
EEs/Divisional Engineers
incharge of construction,
maintenance division
should be atleast 36 and
those by the EEs /
Divisional Engineers
incharge of special
divisions should be
atleast 24 in a financial
year. Further, the
EEs/Divisional Engineers
should check measure
atleast once all individual
works costing Rs.50,000
and more.
The check measurements to
be done by the EE /
Divisional Engineer should be
spread out throughout the
year and there should be no
rush of check measurements
toward the end of the
financial year. The frequency
of check measurement should
be correlated with the
amounts bills to be paid in
the respective months.
In addition to the
above, SEs of Circles should
also check measure works at
random in a particular year
or years as may be directed by
the CE from time to time.
(3) The fact of check
measurement by the sub
divisional officer or the
CONTRACTOR
131
EE should invariably be
noted in the
measurement book at the
time of check
measurement and the
items check measured
should be indicated by
the initials of the
checking officer, which
should be placed on the
left side of the column
particulars in line with
the item check measured.
(4) The object of check
measurement is to detect
errors in measurement
and to prevent fraudulent
entries. Check
measurement should
therefore be conducted
with direction and
method, those items
being selected which
appear obviously
incorrect or which would
be most easily
susceptible of fraud or
which would most
seriously affect the total
amount of the bill if
inaccurate.
(5) The entry measured in
my presence by a sub
divisional officer cannot
be accepted as check
measurement. When
measurements are
taken jointly by officers
or subordinates, the
CONTRACTOR
132
measurements should
always be recorded and
signed by the senior.
(6) In the case of works such
as breach closing
executed by the ryots of a
place, estimates are
usually prepared and
sanctioned after taking
measurements of the
work done and after
verifying the same with
the claims of the ryots for
each item of work. There
is, therefore, no necessity
to measure or check
measure the work further.
(7) Superintending Engineers
should make it a special
point to see that these
rules are duly observed.
Note:- In the Sanitary
Engineering Branch
where there are o sub
divisional officers, check
measurement required of
sub divisional officers
under the above para will
be carried out by EE,
Public Health, subject to
the proviso that the
money limit of Rs.25/prescribed in (1) (a) (iii)
and (1) (b) (ii) above shall
be Rs.200 in the case of

(8) The CEs will be

measurement and

upto Rs.500 (Rupees five

of cases, where check
measurement as required

that the sub divisional

which the operation of
this rule might result in
hardship, as for
example, when costly
stores are ordered from
a distant firm and delay
in payment is
anticipated, an advance
not exceeding 75
percent of the value of
the consignment
dispatched may be paid
to the firm on receipt of
the railway receipt or
dispatch, provided the
firm is one approved by
the government ad it is
distinctly made clear in
the agreement or
otherwise that the
CONTRACTOR

Note.1:- Advance payment
may be made against the
railway receipt at 90% of
the cost of iron and steel
materials supplied for
Irrigation Projects from

Note.2:- Advance
payment may be made
against the Railway
Receipt at such percentage
of the cost of material that
is stipulated in the rate
contract in respect of
materials purchased under
D.G.S., and D. Rate

Note.3:-In respect of
stores indented from firms
of repute, outside the
D.G.S & D rate contract,
CONTRACTOR
139
advance payment not

exceeding 90% of the value
of the dispatch documents
may be made to the firms
on the strength of the
dispatch documents which
include test certificates
and inspection notes, if
any, prescribed under the
terms and conditions of
the tender or purchase
order. In case where
dispatch documents are
sent through a bank,
advance payment not
exceeding 90% of the value

with the terms of the
contract and in the event
of its not being so
delivered for any cases
whatsoever or the
material delivered by us
not conforming to the
