Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the contractor to

estimate cost and time implication for the rehabilitation works. Hence
the following suggestion is extended:

Option A

The rehabilitation work for Major Bridge shall be DELETED

from the present scope of work. It shall have to be assessed
in actual by the help of specialized agency and shall be invited
individually for rehabilitation of Major Bridge from the Bidders
with the specialized prequalification criteria having the due

Kindly give more specific details like execution drawings and

rehabilitation methodology assessed, designed, signed by a

quantum of repair to be carried out. Construction period may be
revised accordingly. The contractors liability shall be limited
only to repairs carried out with respect to the execution
