to adequate prior scrutiny of terms, general or special, if any, standard forms of contracts
as vetted by Legal Department should be adopted, wherever possible. The alternatives
used in the standard forms, which are not applicable, should be invariably scored out
under signatures.
2.2. No relaxation of specifications agreed upon in a contract or relaxation of the terms of an

agreement entered into by the Authority should be made without proper examination of
the financial effect involved due to such relaxation and without approval of competent
authority.
2.3. While selecting the agency for award of contract, the financial status of the individuals
and firms must be taken into consideration in addition to all other relevant factors.
2.4 No work of any kind should be commenced without a proper award letter containing
price and other terms and conditions.
2.5. Provision must be made in contracts for safeguarding property of the Authority entrusted

provision for unconditional power of revocation or cancellation at the discretion of the
Authority at any time on the expiry of reasonable notice to the effect. The period of
notice should not normally be longer than 6 (six) months.
2.7. All contracts should have a provision for recovery of liquidated damages for defaults on
the part of the contractor, unless any special instructions are issued by the competent
authority.
2.8. Cost-Plus-Contracts should be avoided except where those are inevitable. A cost-plus-
contract means a contract where the price payable for supplies or services under the
contract is determined on the basis of the actual cost of production of the supplies or
services concerned plus profit either at a fixed rate per unit or at a fixed percentage on the
actual cost of production.

whenever practicable and advantageous, contracts should be placed only after global

the Authority and are used in the contracted work, should form an essential part of the
contract. It should also contain an escalation clause pertaining to rates of such materials

________________________________________________________________________
so that the Authority may get the benefit of any saving in the quantities of the material
actually used in execution.
