2.23 PENALTY:
When the Contractor has exceeded the time limit stipulated in the contract, he is liable to pay
penalty as specified in the tender conditions.
The Asst. General Manager (Civil) is competent, under these conditions, to
(a) impose the full penalty or
(b) take into account non-working days on which no work could
be done because of circumstances entirely beyond the control
of the Contractor by adding the period of such non-working
days to the contractual date of completion and arriving at a
new expected date of completion to which extent penalty, only
under these circumstances, could be offset to the advantage
of the Contractor.
The Asst. General Manager (Civil)’s approval is obtained when extenuating
circumstances exist for reduction or complete waiver of penalty or in any
other circumstances.
2.24 DELETION OF ITEM FROM CONTRACT:
At times original work provided for in contract is found unnecessary or it
is envisaged that the same may not be executed at the time of progress of
work. In such cases the Asst. General Manager (Civil) is competent to
sanction the deletion of such work from the contract. In the case of
addition of an item to the contract, the inclusion of the extra item requires
the Asst. General Manager (Civil)’s approval.
