deviation is involved, failing that at the lowest applicable rate for the
same item of work in the other Bill of Quantities. However, where the

considered by the OWNER to be absurdly high (freak item rates), any
variation beyond +20% (twenty percent) of the quantity mentioned in
the Bill of Quantities, shall be paid for at the rate(s) to be determined by
the ENGINEER by mutual discussion with the Contractor as per
provisions in sub clause (iii) below.
If, in the opinion of the ENGINEER, the rate of any altered, additional or
substituted item of work is not specified in the Bill of Quantities, the rate

Quantities, which in the opinion of the ENGINEER is the nearest similar

then such item of work shall be carried out at the rate entered in the
Schedule of Rates mentioned in the Appendix to GCC plus/ minus the
percentage by which the tendered amount of the work actually awarded
is higher or lower than the estimated amount of the work actually
awarded.
If the rate for any altered, additional or substituted item of work cannot
be determined in the manner specified in sub-paras (i) to (iii) above,
then the rate for such item of work shall be derived from the Schedule
of Rates specified in sub para (iii) above plus/ minus the percentage
mentioned in that sub-para. Provided, always that if rate(s) for part(s)
of an item(s) is/ are not specified in the Schedule of Rates, the rate(s)
for such part(s) shall be determined by the ENGINEER on the basis of
the purchase price as supported by the vouchers submitted by the
CONTRACTOR, unless the ENGINEER finds the purchase price indicated
in such vouchers as unreasonable. In the latter event the price shall be
determined on the basis of market rate(s) prevailing during the fortnight
following the date of the order.
If, in the opinion of the ENGINEER the rate for any altered, additional or
substituted item of work cannot be determined in the manner specified
in sub-paras (i) to (iv) above, the CONTRACTOR shall, within 14 days of

ENGINEER of the rate which he proposes to claim for such item of work

item shall be determined by the ENGINEER as he may consider
reasonable on the basis of market rate(s).

for increase or decrease in the quantity of any item of work where such
increase or decrease is the result of the certified actual quantities,
executed based on approved construction drawings exceeding or being
less than those stated in the Bill of Quantities. In such cases, always
subject to provision of sub-clause 12.4 below, regarding freak item
rates, the CONTRACTOR shall be paid only for the actual quantity of
work done, as certified by the ENGINEER at the accepted unit item rates
and no compensation shall be allowed for any variation in quantities
mentioned in the Bill of Quantities.
12.4

items in the Bill of Quantities, rate payable shall be determined by
methods given below and in the order given below :

grouting material shall be as approved by the Engineer/
Consultant. All grouting materials shall be supplied by the

31.4
Placing of Grout
31.4.1
After the base has been prepared, its alignment and level has
been checked and before actually placing the grout a low dam
shall be set around the base at a distance that will permit
pouring and manipulation of the grout. The height of such dam
shall be at least 25 mm above the bottom of the base. Suitable
size and number of chains shall be introduced under the base
before placing the grout, so that such chains can be moved
back and forth to push the grout into every part of the space
under the base.
31.4.2
The grout shall be poured either through grout holes if provided

or shall be poured at one side or at two adjacent sides giving it
a pressure head to make the grout move in a solid mass under
the base and out in the opposite side. Pouring shall be
continued until the entire space below the base including
foundation bolt holes are thoroughly filled and the grout stands
at least 25 mm higher all around than the bottom of the base
plate. Enough care shall be taken to avoid any air or water
pockets beneath the bases.
31.5
Finishing the Edges of the Grout

The poured grout shall be allowed to stand undisturbed until it
is well set. Immediately thereafter, the dam shall be removed
and grout, which extends beyond the edges of the equipment
base plates, shall be cut off flush and removed. The edges of
the grout shall then be pointed and finished with 1:2 cement
mortar pressed firmly to bond with body of the grout and
smoothed with a tool to present a smooth vertical surface. The
work shall be done in a clean and workmanlike manner and the
adjacent floor spaces, exposed edges of the foundations and

equipment base plates shall be thoroughly cleaned of any

spillage of the grout.

After the grout is set, it shall be kept moist with wet sacks for
at least seven days.
31.7
Checking of Equipment after Grouting

After the grout is set and cured, the Contractor shall check and
verify the alignment of equipment, alignment of shafts of
rotating machinery, the slopes of all bearing pedestals, centring
of rotors with respect to their sealing bores, couplings, etc. as
applicable and the like items to ensure that no displacement
had taken place during grouting. The values recorded prior to
grouting shall be used during such post grouting check-up and
verifications. Such pre and post grout records of alignment
details shall be maintained by the Contractor in a manner
acceptable to the Engineer/ Consultant.
32.0
SHAFT ALIGNMENTS
All the shafts of rotating equipment shall be properly aligned to
those of the matching equipment. The equipment shall be free
from vibration so as to avoid over-heating of bearings. All
bearings, shafts and other rotating parts shall be thoroughly
cleaned and suitably lubricated before starting.

DOWELLING
All the motors and other equipment shall be suitably dowelled
after alignment of shafts with tapered machined dowels.
