Excavation work

The contractor shall be deemed to have made himself

fully acquainted with the full nature & complexity of
30 2001
the work, the location and character of the site and
means of access to the site.

The rates and work descriptions have to include all

activities and all costs necessary to complete the work.
The erecting, use and dismantling of necessary
working platforms, scaffolding and related structures
have to be included in the rates. Construction of coffer
dams, guide bunds, sheet piles etc. if required for
diversion of the river in order to get the working space
or to control seepage during excavation shall also be
31 2002
included in the rates. The relevant drawings are an
integral part of these tender documents. The contractor
has to study all drawings in detail. By submitting the
tender, the contractor is declaring that he has
understood the drawings and all the works involved
and is prepared to complete all construction work in a
competent manner. Only the highest degree of
accuracy and quality will be accepted.

The Contractor confirms also to be fully aware of the

soil condition. He agrees not to ask for additional
payments due to changed soil conditions.The word
"soil" in this context refers to all types of soil, earth,
32 2003 rock, stone, sand, boulders, gneiss, clay, gravels, mica
schist and so on. In other words, the rate quoted for
the soil excavation shall apply for all the excavation
materials; soil, earth, rock - hard and/or soft, requiring
or not requiring blasting.

Irrespective of the type of excavation material, the

contractor shall be paid at the same rate - the rate
quoted by the contractor for 'soil' excavation. Thefore,
while submitting the rates, the contractor has to
estimate the proportion of various materials (soil,
ordinary rock, hard rock) in the excavation depending
33 2004
on the site condition and quote accordingly. The fact
that some of the excavation works will be at the river
side, in the river and below the water level will also
not justify any increase in the costs. It is important that
the contractor does careful study of the site condition
prior to submitting the tender.

The excavation shall be paid as Solid Volume. Solid

volume is the volume of excavation calculated
directly from the foundation dimensions of the
structure (i.e plan of sub-structure work times
average height of soil excavation vertically above
the plan) without allowance for bulking, shrinkage,
34 2005 wastage, working space, slope cutting etc. But the
contractor has to be aware of the fact that the soil
cannot be dug vertically and that additional
excavations would be required for getting the working
space around the foundations, slope cutting etc. and
the contractor has to account for these additional
quantities while setting rates for the excavation works.

materials close to foundations. This materials will be
used for backfilling around and behind foundations.
However, the top layer of the soil containing

above water level, which the contractor has to
ascertain after studying the site condition and
understanding the design drawings. The construction
