any time in writing direct the contractor to slow down any part or whole of the
work for any reason (which shall not be questioned) whatsoever, and the
contractor shall comply with such orders of the Engineer-in-Charge. The
compliance of such orders shall not entitle the contractor to any claim of
compensation. Such orders of the Engineer-in-Charge for slowing down the
work will however be duly taken into account while granting extension of time
if asked by the contractor for which no extra payment will be entertained.
4.27.2 Delays in Commencement or progress or neglect of work and forfeiture

of earnest money, Security deposit and withheld amounts:
If, at any time, the Engineer-in-Charge shall be of the opinion that the
Contractor is delaying Commencement of the work or violating any of the
provisions of the Contractor is neglecting or delaying the progress of the work
as defined by the tabular statement. “Rate of progress” in the Articles of
Agreement”, he shall so advise the Contractors in writing and at the same
time demand compliance in accordance with conditions of Tender notice. If

communicated by the Engineer-in-Chief (R&B) Admn & Roads, vide Memo
No: 3027/ QC/ AEE5/ DEE2/ MC/ 2006, Dated: 28-10-2006.
4.37.4 The following guidelines shall be followed in regards to maintenance of

quality, quantity and penalties to be imposed for deficient execution of work
on the contractors:
I. FORMATION
34
a. Density: The density of the materials shall conform to MORTH table

300-1. The earth work shall be compacted to the required density i.e.,
95% for OMC. The determination of density shall be as per IS 2720
(Part 28).
Acceptance Criteria: The density test location shall be chosen only

through random techniques as closer as required to yield the minimum
number of test results for evaluating a day’s work. At least one
measurement of density for every 1000 square meters of compacted
area shall be taken. The number of tests in onset of measurements
shall be 6 (if Non destructive tests are conducted it shall be double). If
considerable variations are observed between individual density results
minimum number of tests in one set shall be increased to 10.
Control shall not be based on any one test but on the mean value of
set 5-10 density determination. The mean density shall not be less than
the specified density plus [1.65-(1.65/(no. of samples) 0.5)] times the
standard deviation.
b. RECOVERY FROM CONTRACTOR: If any deviation is beyond the

above limit, the work shall be rejected.
II. GSB / WMM / WBM

a. Thickness: The averages thickness shall be based on 5 points in a
C/s for two lane and 3 points for single lane and proportionately
increased for additional lanes. (At least two cross sections in 1 Km
length or less). The average thickness shall not be less than specified
thickness.
b. Over size of Metal : Whenever graded metal is used.
i) No over size will be allowed over and above the range

specified as per in the first sieve (top sieve).
ii) Over size in sieves other than top sieve – the difference
in the rates of the metal of the specified size and next higher
size in the specified grade should be recovered for that quantity
of over size metal.
iii) However if the over size in any sieve other than top sieve
is found to be above 30%, metal collected should be rejected.
c. Weight: The physical requirements shall conform to MORTH table

400-6/400-10. The density of the compacted layer shall be at least 98%
of the maximum dry density as determined for the material as per IS
2720 (Part 8). The weight of material (for WBM) shall not be less than
the quantity specified in the data as per density of metal to be recorded
prior to usage. However 10% tolerance may be permitted due to
crushing of edges and corners, deviations in the measurement pit (0.5
x 0.50 m).
RECOVERIES:
1. Shortfall in thickness / quantity / weight
35
a) If shortfall is up to 10% in any one of the above

parameters i.e., a+b+c = 10% specified oversize, thickness /
weight – in a KM Recovery @ twice the agreement rates to be
effected for the deficiency.
b) If shortfall is between 10% and 20% in any one of the
above parameters i.e., a+b+c = 10% to 20% specified oversize,
thickness / weight – in KM Recovery to be effected @ thrice the
agreement rates for the deficiency.
c) If shortfall is more than 20% in any one of the above
parameters i.e., of specified oversize, thickness / quantity /
weight – the work is to be rejected and redone.
d) In case both deficiency i.e., thickness & weight of metal is
noticed, the recovery shall be for the maximum of the two
deficiencies.
III. SDBC /MSS/ BM / DBM Bituminous items:
a) Thickness : The average thickness shall be the arithmetic mean of

the difference of levels before and after construction at all grid points in
that area i.e., at every 10 m c.c. longitudinally and 0.75 m and 2.75m
on two lanes, 1.25 m on single lane transversely. The recovery for less
thickness shall be as under.
b) Binder quantity: The binder content shall have to be tested at the

plant or mix at the time of laying. Research carried out in the country
revealed that with manage of time there would be loss of bitumen in
layer which may occur from day one. Further the testing procedure /
sampling itself varies from laboratory to laboratory, person to person
and the results are subject to efficiency of the personnel as well as
equipment.
The MORTH specification gives a tolerance of + 0.30% which in fact is
for the plant mix and cannot be straight away applied for tests
conducted on the surface after lapse of time. The bitumen extraction
tests shall have to be conducted as early as possible and in no case
beyond 6 months.
Considering all these aspects the variations in Binder content and

recoveries to be effected are:
1) 0-10% recovery to be effected @ twice the agreement.

2) 10-15% recovers to be effected @ thrice the agreement.
3) More than 15% the layer shall be rejected and re-laid.
RECOVERIES:
1. Shortfall in thickness / quantity / weight.
a) If shortfall is up to 10% in the specified thickness / quantity /

weight – Recovery @ twice the agreement rates to be effected for
the deficiency in quantity.
36
b) If shortfall is between 10% and 20% in the specified thickness /

quantity / weight – Recovery to be effected @ thrice the agreement
rates for the deficiency in quantity.
c) If shortfall is more than 20% of specified thickness / quantity /
weight – the work is to be rejected and redone.

IV. CONCRETE ITEMS: The testing and tolerance shall be as per MORTH
section 903.5. No deviations are acceptable in thickness of PCC / all
members except concrete pavements. In case of strength requirement in
which established based on concrete cores / cubes no deviation is permitted
from specified strength. However if the lesser strength concrete is allowed
duly satisfying design criteria the rate of lower grade concrete or equipment to
the actual strength only shall be paid.

5.2 CEMENT:
General
The Contractor has to make his own arrangements for the procurement of
Cement of required for works subject to the following conditions:-
a) The Contractors shall procure bulk cement required for the works only
from reputed cement factories (a) Priya Cement, (b) India Cements, (c)
Andhra Cements, (d) Penna Cements, (e) Zuari Cements, (f) C.C.I.
Cements, (g) Ramco Cements, (h) L&T Cements, (I) Birla Cements (Main

The contractor shall be required to furnish to the Engineer in-charge bills

of payment and test certificates issued by the manufacturers to
authenticate procurement of quality cement from the approved cement
factory. The contractor shall transport it in pressurized cement hailers.
The hailers shall have to collect duplicate gate pass from the factory from
the quality of cement received for each trip of cement hailers. One copy
of gate pass shall be handed over to the Engineer-in-charge. The
74
contractor shall make their own arrangement for adequate storage of

cement.
b) The contractor shall procure O.P. Cement of 43 grade in standard

packing of 50 kg per bag from the authorized manufacturers/ authorised
dealers. The contractor shall make necessary arrangement, at his own
cost, to the satisfaction of the Executive Engineer, for actual weighment
of random sample from the available stock and shall confirm with the
specification laid down by the Bureau of Indian standards or other
standard institutions as the case may be. Cement shall be got tested for
all the tests as directed by the Executive Engineer, at least once in a
month, in advance, before the use of cement bags brought and kept at
site go-down. Cement bags required for testing shall be supplied by the
contractor at free of cost.
c) The contractor should store the cement of 60 days requirement at least

one month in advance to ensure the quality of cement so brought to site
and shall not remove the same without the written permission of the
Executive Engineer. The contractor shall forthwith remove from the
works area any cement that the Engineer in-charge may disallow for use
on account of failure to meet with required quality and standard.
d) The contractor will have to construct sheds for storing cement having
capacity, not less than the cement required for 90 days use, at
appropriate locations at the work site. The Engineer in-charge or the
representatives shall have free access to such stores at all times.
e) The contractors, shall, further at all times satisfy the Engineer in-charge,
on demand, by production of records and books or by submission of
returns and other proofs as directed, that the cement is being used as
tests and approved by Executive Engineer for the purpose and the
contractor shall at all times, Keep his records up to date to enable the
Engineer in-charge to apply such checks as he may desire.
f) Cement which has been unduly long in storage with the contractor or
alternatively has deteriorated due to inadequate storage and thus become
unfit for use on the work shall be rejected by the department and no
claims will be entertained. The contractor shall forthwith remove from the
work area any cement the Executive Engineer may disallow for use on
work and replace it by cement complying with the relevant Indian
standards.
5.3 STORAGE OF CEMENT:

1) Is often necessary to store Portland cement, some times for a period of
months. This is particularly true when transportation inclusions must be
used to their capacity and deliveries.
2) Portland cement readily absorbs moisture not only in the form of free
water but also moisture from the atmosphere or from damp materials in
contact with it and become hydrated and loses strength. It is necessary
therefore that it should be protected from absorption of moisture before is
used, if it is to fulfil its functions. An absorption of one or two percent of
water has no appreciable effect but further amounts of absorption, results
75
in hardening of the cement and reduces the strength. If the absorption

exceeds 5%, the cement is for all ordinary purposes, ruined, finally
ground cement stored in stacks tend to deteriorate more than coarse
cement. In this respect normal hardening Portland cement and high
alumina cements are least effected than rapid hardening Portland
cement.
3) American, Spanish and German experiments have shown that on

average the strength of cement strength in bags is reduced as follows:-
After 3 months by 15 to 20 percent.
After 6 months by 20 to 30 percent
After 12 months by 30 to 50 percent
After 2 years by 40 to 50 percent
After 4 ½ Years by 50 to 60 percent
4) These figures prove that special attention should be paid to the storage
of cement even when its strength is equal to or suspense’s the specified
normal strength.
5) With an extensive range of climate conditions it is difficult to lay

down universal rules for the storage of cement but the general principle
should always be kept in mind that it must be protected as far as possible
from any form of moisture, prior to mixing it for making concrete mortar.
6) During the dry weather, is main part of the country, where the
relative humidity of the atmosphere even in nights is low (that is to say
when there is very little moisture in the air) little or no protection may be
necessary and the cement in its stock may require no more than a
tarpaulin through for the stack. Country particularly near the coast where
the atmosphere is always damp at any time of day or night and then
grater precautions are necessary. In place such as the west coast and
the Nilagiries and period when heavy rain falls are encountered such
grater care has to be taken of the cement and proper strength provided it
from the damp.
7) Whenever there is any possibility of the cement exposed to

moisture either in the atmosphere or actual rate. It should be stored in a
well constructed dry godown or shed. The Cement more should be
whether right construction preferable with terraced roofing with a sound
wooden or ground to ensure that it is damp building with plant roofing the
prohibited because of their tendency to leak. Corrugated sheets roofing
has tendency to the condense moisture and should be protected by field
to prevent wind and rain driving through cement should not be placed
directly on cement plaster flooring and other types of flooring commonly
meant with which are not damp proof. A wooden platform or false floor a
sheet of waterproof paper should be provided.
8) If none of these is possible than floor should be covered with straw,

hay, cinder or ash or such other material Densely and uniformly packed to
a thickness of at least one inch and over a laid worth tarpaulins or old
cement bags. Windows and ventilator if any should be slightly shut to
prevent tree circulation of air and inside the stores. Drainage should be
76
provided if necessary to prevent accumulation of water in the vicinity of

the store.
9) Cement should be stored in piles arranged parallel to the walls. If

in-advisable to pile bags against the walls and an allowance of at least
0.3M all round should be made between the exterior walls piles at least
0.6M wide should be left for each access and delivery. The outside
stacks deterior a similar pile. Successive consignments covered with
some water proof cover as a both measure of protection and prevent the
free circulation of air as each lot of proper fresh air will bring in more
moisture. Once the cement has been properly stored should not be
disturbed until it is to be used. There is no advantage in moving and
stacking the bags to reduce where house set as this practice only
exposes fresh cement to the air resulting in loss due to the shifting of
cement through the cloth mesh and in damage to the stacks.
10) Cement required for use immediately after delivery to the site may
be stored in the open on a raised damp proof floor so long as it is fully
protected by tarpaulin or either weather resisting covers. Storage under
these conditions should be limited to 48 hours. The tarpaulin should be
raised well above the top most Tie of bags and must be sloped for rapid
drainage in case of showers.
11) The storage place required for a given quantity of cement can be
calculated from the following data. If spread losses over the floor of a
store to a depth of 1st floor a ton of cement required about 2.40 Sqm. If
stored in paper bags on their side the area required is 5.00 Sqm to 6.00
Sqm per ton. If laid on more than one tier. If the bags are stacked in any
other manner feet portion the minimum area provided should be
increased to allow space for passengers etc., to avoid house set in any
case not more than 15 bags. If stacked higher than this the pressure on
the bottom bags is liable to burst at or form clad in damp water, apart from
handling difficulties because of their weight.
12) Consignments should be used in the same sequences as they are

delivered. To ensure this, the date of arrival of each consignment should
be clearly indicated. This is best one by trying a place of country twins or
cord to the end bags in the bottom most tier of the day pile, tacking the
two places of card up the sides and along the top pile on tying the main
the centre. The date of receipt in the store being clearly written on a bin
card high from the card. Dead storage where the cement remains in
place for a long time which other consignments of cement come in and
out should be avoided.
13) While issuing cement from a store the cement bags should be
removed in vertical column of the pile and not horizontal so as to avoid
dead storage space.
14) As a rule cement should not be stored longer than three months
and if time is exceeded the material should be re-tested being needed.
Especially in the rainy season prolonged storage should be avoided. If
77
stock is likely to be held over more than three months anticipatory

measures should be taken to use it on the works.
15) Cement that has become supply due to storage in damp positions
due to exposure to the weather is generally useless for making concrete
and should be remove from the site. Air set lumps that can be broken
down to floor with the places. If such lumps are in numerous. It is easier
to screen them out and discord them if the protection of air cement is
considerable. The fine material after screening should be tested to
determine whether it has become detective.
16) The Cement in bags is stored in high piles for long periods. There
is often a slight tendency in the lower layers to harden, caused by the
pressure above this is known as warehouse set. Cement in this
condition, on every wet not for service and can be reconditioned by letting
each drop on a solid surface for using the cement contained.

5.5 SPECIAL CONDITION (FOR STAINLESS STEEL WORKS)

“Metal Arc welding / Tungsten Arc welding (MIG/TIG Process) is required to
be used for SS 316 grade. E 310 (IS Specification) Electrodes are required to
be used. For obtaining Lacquer finishing the process to be followed is
cleaning, grinding, buffing, pickling, passivation of welding surface wherever
required using good quality chemicals approved by department for glossy
finish, following standard procedures using required tools and methods as
covered under Salem Steel users guide and relevant BIS procedures as
applicable.
Welds made with Type 316 electrodes may occasionally display poor
corrosion resistance in the “as-welded” condition. In such cases, corrosion
resistance of the weld metal may be restored by the following heat treatments:
1) For types 316 base metal, full anneal at 1950-2050 oF
Where post weld heat treatment is not possible, other filler metals may be
specially selected to meet the requirements of the application for corrosion
resistance.
Dos and Don’ts in welding and finishing of Stainless Steel joints:
 Oxy-Acetylene / Oxy-Hydrogen process is not practicable while cutting and

sizing.
 After cutting and sizing of joints discoloration of cut edges are to be

removed by grinding or passivation.
 Metal Arc welding / Tungsten Arc welding is required to be used. E310 (IS
Specification) Electrodes are required to be used for SS 316 grade.
84
 Post welding cleaning: All discoloration, weld spatter, flux / scale are to be
removed.
 Use stainless steel wire brush exclusively for cleaning.
 Follow the polishing lines when using abrasive cleaners.
 Do not use an ordinary steel scrapper or knife to remove dirt. This causes
rust. Use plastic or stainless steel tools.
 Only dedicated grinding wheels and discs are to be used.
 For chemical cleaning, pickling formulations based on nitric acid and

hydrofluoric acid are to be used.
 Do not use Hydrochloric acid.
 For passivation, use nitric acid.
 Thorough washing is to be done with water immediately after pickling /

passivation.
5.6 SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR WHITE WASHING, COLOUR WASHING AND

PAINTING WORKS.
