and IS-4031 (method of physical test for hydraulic cement) and IS-4032-1985 (method of
chemical analysis of hydraulic cement) referred to above . The decision as to where the testing
of cement is to be done shall be taken by GE. In case the cement is not of requisite standard
despite manufacturer’s test certificate, the contractor shall remove the total consignment from
the site at his own cost after written rejection order of the consignment by the GE.
(D) The random samples as per relevant IS shall be selected by GE before carrying out
testing. The record of such samples selected by the GE for testing shall be properly
maintained in the `cement Testing Register’ giving cross reference to relevant consignment of
cement and quantity received etc.
1.4 TESTING CHARGES : Cost of transportation of samples to the approved laboratory /

test house and all testing charges including cost of sample shall be borne by the contractor.
(A) The contractor shall be required to set up adequate testing facilities at site to entire
satisfaction of Garrison Engineer for conducting setting time test and compressive strength test
as per IS codes referred to herein before for the samples collected from the lot brought at site.
The tests shall be carried out jointly within 7 days of receipt of cement at site. These tests can
alternatively be carried out at the Zonal Laboratory or any other recognized Laboratory so
designated by GE. The entire cost of testing shall be borne by the contractor irrespective of the
fact that the result are satisfactory or not. Recovery at the under mentioned rates shall be made
for tests carried out in Zonal Laboratory of MES :-
(a) Setting Time. : Rs. 100 per test per sample of cement.
(b) Compressive strength for : Rs. 300 per sample of three cubes.
sample of three cubes.
1.5 The Contractor shall submit original purchase vouchers for the total quantity of cement
supplied under each consignment to be incorporated in the work. All consignments received at
the work site shall be inspected by the GE alonglwith the relevant documents to ensure the

cement shall be done as specified in relevant IS. The storage accounting and preservation of
cement supplied by the Contractor shall be done as per standard engineer practice till the same
is incorporated in the work and the cost of the same shall be deemed to be included in the unit
rates/ amount quoted by the tenderer.
(B) The Engineer - in - Charge shall inspect once a day to verify that cement lying at site is
stored, accounted preserved and maintained as per norms. The cement shall be stored so as
to differentiate each tested and untested consignment separately with distinct identifications. If

cement as applicable for that consignment to ensure its conformity to the quality mentioned in
the manufacturer’s test certificate. The Contractor shall bear the cost of necessary testing (s) in

replacement for the cement bag(s) so removed shall be made and no claim whatsoever shall
be admissible on this account.
(D) The Contractor shall procure the cement timely as required in accordance with CPM
agreed between GE and the Contractor. The Contractor will forfeit his right to demand
extension of time if the supply of cement got delayed due to his failure in placing order in time to
