2. VARIATION IN CONTRACT QUANTITIES:
The procedure detailed below shall be adopted for dealing with variations in
quantities during execution of works contracts:-
2.1 Individual NS items in contracts shall be operated with variation of plus or
minus 25% and payment would be made as per the agreement rate. For this
no finance concurrence would be required.
2.2 In case of increase in quantity of an individual item by more than 25% of the
agreement quantity is considered unavoidable, the same shall be got
executed by floating a fresh tender. If floating a fresh tender for operating that
item is considered not practicable, quantity of that item may be operated in
excess of 125% of the agreement quantity subject to the following conditions.
(a) Operation of an item by more than 125% but up to 150% of the agreement
quantity needs the approval of an officer of the rank not less than S.A.Grade
or Higher Grade without finance concurrence. (Ref: Rly. Board’s Lr. No.
2007/CE-I/CT/18/Pt. XII dtd. 08.07.2016)
(i) Quantities operated in excess of 125% but upto 140% of the
agreement quantity of the concerned item, shall be paid at 98% of the
rate awarded for that item in that particular tender.
(ii) Quantities operated in excess of 140% but up to 150% of the
agreement quantity of the concerned item shall be paid at 96% of the
rate awarded for that item in that particular tender.
(iii) Variation in quantities of individual items beyond 150% will be
prohibited and would be permitted only in exceptional unavoidable
circumstances with the concurrence of associate finance and shall be
paid at 96% of the rate awarded for that item in that particular tender.
(b) The variation in quantities as per the above formula will apply only to the
individual items of the contract and not on the overall contract value.
(c) Execution of quantities beyond 150% of the overall agreemental value should
not be permitted and, if found necessary should be only through fresh tenders
or by negotiating with existing contractor, with prior personal concurrence of
FA&CAO/FA&CAO(C) and approval of General Manager.
2.3 In cases where decrease is involved during execution of contract:
a) The contract signing authority can decrease the items upto 25% of
individual item without finance concurrence.
b) For decrease beyond 25% for individual items or 25% of contract
agreement value, the approval of an officer not less than rank of
S.A.Grade may be taken, after obtaining ‘No Claim Certificate’ from the
contractor and with prior finance concurrence giving detailed reasons for
each such decrease in the quantities.
c) It should be certified that the work proposed to be reduced will not be
required in the same work.
2.4 The limit for varying quantities for minor value items shall be 100% (as
against 25% prescribed for other items). A minor value item for this purpose
is defined as an item whose original agreement value is less than 1% of the
total original agreement value.
2.5 No such quantity variation limit shall apply for foundation items.
2.6 As far as SOR items are concerned, the limit of 25% would apply to the value
of SOR schedule as a whole and not on individual SOR items. However, in
case of NS items, the limit of 25% would apply on the individual items
irrespective of the manner of quoting the rates (single percentage rate or
individual item rate).
2.7 For the tenders accepted at Zonal Railways level, variations in the quantities
will be approved by the authority in whose powers revised value of the
agreement lies.
2.8 For tenders accepted by General Manager, variation up to 125% of the
original agreement value may be accepted by General Manager.
2.9 For tenders accepted by Board Members and Railway Ministers variations up
to 110% of the original agreement value may be accepted by General
Manager.
2.10 The aspect of vitiation of tender with respect to variation in quantities should
be checked and avoided. As a result of variations, a contract value shall be
considered “vitiated” only when, the following percentage variation in contract
value between tenderers are noticed to have been exceeded.
SN Value of contract Percentage difference between
present Contractor and new L-1 as a
result of variation (percentage shall be
calculated with base as the revised
contract quantities multiplied by the
rates of the present contractor)
1 Small value contracts (Tender 10
Value less than Rs. 50 lakh)
2 Other than small value 5
contracts (Tender Value equal
to or more than Rs. 50 lakh)
2.10.1 When the percentage difference between present contractor and new L-1 is
noticed as becoming beyond the values specified above, the following action
shall be taken.
The Railway administration should immediately examine whether it is

practicable to bring in a new agency to carry out the extra quantity of work
keeping in view the progress of the work in accordance with the original
contract and the nature and lay-out of the work. If it is found that there will be
no serious practical difficulty in meeting the additional quantity of work done
by another agency, then fresh tenders for the extra quantity may be invited
otherwise negotiating the rate with the existing contractor for arriving at a
reasonable rate for the additional quantities of work, may be adopted.
2.10.2 The above shall be regulated as under:-
a) The case shall be decided by the tender accepting authority (competent for
the revised quantity) and shall not be treated as a case of single tender. The
provisions of Railway Board letter No.2007/CE-I/CT/18/Pt.XII Dt.31.12.2010
hereby gets supersede.
b) These instructions will be similarly applicable to earning contracts with H-

1: H-2 substituted for L-1, L-2 and so on.
c) Executives while executing the work shall make all efforts to ensure that
no vitiation takes place in normal circumstances. Vitiation should be an
exception rather than a routine affair. Efforts should be made to invite bids
on the basis of percentage above/below/at par.
d) Vitiation should always be computed with respect to the items, rates,

quantities and conditions as available at the time of Tender Opening and
subsequent changes additions by way of new items will not be counted for
computing vitiation.
2.11 Qualifying/Eligibility criteria of eligible tenderers has to be deliberated

for comparison of the cost of work during variation for checking of
vitiation.
