of the work and to provide a uniform basis for tendering and any variation either by addition or omission by
Company shall not vitiate the contract.
5.1. The Company through its PRCO shall, without radically changing the original scope and nature of the
contracted work, have power to make any alterations in or additions to or substitution of the approved
exploration scheme that may appear to be necessary or advisable during the progress of the work. The

leads in the same mine/block to achieve the quantity limited to mutually agreed time and progress chart/NIT.
No sooner the adequate hindrance free space at original site is available the work should be restored in the
original site. In such cases no extension of contract with additional quantity shall be done.
5.3. If the additional, altered or substituted work includes any class of work for which no rate/rates is/are specified

26
 a. the rate shall be derived from the rate/rates for similar or near similar class of work as is/are specified in
the contract/tender, failing which
b. the rates shall be derived from the company's prescribed schedule of rates based on which the estimate
for tendering has been prepared plus or minus the percentage by which the tendered amount for the
whole work quoted by the contractor is above or below the estimated amount as per the Tender
Specification Documents, failing which
c. the rate shall be derived from contractor's rate claimed for such class of work supported by analysis of the
rate/rates claimed by the contractor. The rate to be determined by the PRCO as may be considered
reasonable taking into account percentage of profit and overhead not exceeding ten percent or on the
basis of market rates, if any, prevailing at the time when work was done.

However, the PRCO shall be at liberty to cancel the instruction by notice in writing and to arrange to carry out
the work in such manner as he /she considers advisable under the circumstances. The contractor shall under
no circumstances suspend the work on the plea of non-settlement of rates.
5.4. Quantities are likely to vary by (+/-) 30% due to element of surprises inbuilt in any sub-surface exploration
such as (i) variation in expected depth of occurrence of target/potential seam (i.e. Borehole depth), (ii) areal
variation in potentiality of the seams requiring curtailment/enhancement/variation in geographical extent of the
block, (iii) variation in number/density of boreholes on account of complexity of the structural setup revealed in
course of exploration, etc.. Alterations in the quantities shall not be considered as a change in the conditions of
the contract nor invalidate any of the provision. Supplementary/ revised work order shall be issued on revised
quantities on the same rates and terms & conditions. The duration of the contract would be adjusted on pro
rata basis for any increase/decrease in quantities which shall be clearly stipulated in the
Supplementary/revised work order.
In case, variation is expected/required in occurrence of target/potential seam during the course of exploration
and the said variation is up to 30% of the envisaged depth as given in tender document/work order/exploration
scheme, the rate of payment for the said additional depth up to 30% (i.e. meterage from envisaged depth to
the actual drilled depth) will be calculated/paid based on predefined logic as detailed in clause 5.9 of the GTC.
A Supplementary/ revised work order shall be issued on the rates as per clause 5.9 of the GTC.

of more than 600m, following modifications are envisaged:
The Bidder will submit their quotation w.r.t BASE RATE for drilling up to 600m only and the calculation for
incremental rate in each depth band beyond 600m will be done by system based on a pre-defined logic as per
following details:

Depth (m) Rate of Increment in percentage in sliding scale

<600 Base Rate (LAR)
600-800 5% of the Base Rate

Simple average of the rates of diesel prevailing at same reference place in a period shall be taken as
the rate of diesel for calculation of diesel escalation/de-escalation for that period of work.
d) If the contract is to be extended beyond the stipulated period for completion of the work due to fault
on the part of the Contractor, escalation on prices shall not be allowed further and the prevailing
contract price will continue for completion of the work, consequently clause 6.0 of the General Terms
& Condition will be applicable.

1.1. PRICE VARIATION FOR LABOUR

The amount paid to the contractor for the work done shall be adjusted for increase or decrease in the cost of
labour and the cost shall be calculated as per aforesaid provision in accordance with the following formula:
A L – Lo 50
VL = W x ------ x --------- x -----------
100 Lo 100
Where:
V L = Variation in labour cost i.e. increase or decrease in the amount in rupees to be paid or
recovered.
W = Value of work done during the period under reckoning to which the price variation relates as
indicated in clause no. 1.4 of this section.
A = Component of labour expressed as percentage of the total value of work adopted from
Table-1 of this section.
Lo = Minimum wages for unskilled workers payable as per the Minimum Wages Act / Rules of the
State or Central Government, whichever is more, applicable to the place of work as on the
last date stipulated for receipt of the Price bids or Revised Price bids whichever is later.
L = Revised minimum wages of unskilled workers on the date of completion of initial contract
period.

37
1.2. PRICE VARIATION ON MATERIALS
The amount to be paid to the contractor for the work done shall be adjusted for increase or decrease in the
cost of materials and the cost shall be calculated as per aforesaid provision in accordance with the following
formula:
B M – Mo 50
Vm = W x ------ x --------- x ----------
100 Mo 100
Where:
Vm = Variation in material cost i.e. increase or decrease in the amount in rupees to be paid or
recovered.
W = Value of work done during the period under reckoning to which the price variation relates as
indicated in clause no. 1.4 of this section.
B = Component of material expressed as percentage of the total value of work adopted from
Table-1 of this section.
Mo = All India Wholesale Price Index for all commodities as published by the RBI Bulletin, Ministry
of Industry & Commerce, Govt. Of India, relating to the last date on which the price bids or
revised price bids whichever is later was stipulated to be received.
M = All India Wholesale Price Index for all commodities as published by the RBI Bulletin, Ministry
of Industry & Commerce, Govt. Of India on the date of completion of initial contract period.

1.3. PRICE VARIATION ON POL

cost of POL and the cost shall be calculated as per aforesaid provision in accordance with the following
formula:

C F - Fo
Vf = W x ------ x ----------
100 Fo
Where:
Vf = Variation in the cost of fuel, oil and lubricants i.e. increase or decrease in the amount in
rupees to be paid or recovered.
W = Value of work done during the period under reckoning to which the price variation relates as
indicated in clause no. 1.4 of this section.
C = Component of POL expressed as percentage of the total value of work adopted from Table-1
of this section.

lubricants” as published by the Economic Advisor, Ministry if Industry, Govt. of India for the
period to which escalation/ de -escalation relates.

1.4. WHILE CALCULATING THE VALUE OF ''W'' THE FOLLOWING SHALL BE NOTED

The cost on which the escalation/price variation shall be payable shall be reckoned as 85% of the cost of work
as per the bills to which escalation relates, and from this amount the value of materials supplied or services
rendered at the prescribed charges under the relevant provisions of the contract, and proposed to be
recovered in the particular bill, shall be deducted before the amount of compensation for escalation/price
variation is worked out. In the case of materials brought to site for which any secured advance is included in
the bill, the full value of such materials as assessed by the Project Manager/PRCO (and not the reduced
amount for which secured advance has been paid) shall be included in the cost of work done for operation of
this clause. Similarly when such materials are incorporated in the work and the secured advance is deducted
from the bill, the full assessed value of the materials originally considered for operation of this clause should be
deducted from the cost of the work shown in the bill, running or final. Further the cost shall not include any
work for which payment is made at prevailing market rates.

38
1.5. In the event the price of materials and/ or wages of labour required for execution of the work decreases, there
shall be downward adjustment of the cost of work so that such price of materials and/or wages of labour shall
be deductible from the cost of work under this contract and in this regard the formulae hereinbefore stated
under this clause shall mutatis/mutandis apply.
Table-1: Value of A, B & C in the Price variation formula

A B C
(Labour Component) (Material Component) (POL Component)

The price variation clause as stated above will be applied for extended time frame of a contract by following
the principles as under:

i) Normally, if and when it is understood that a contract is not going to be completed within the
scheduled time period, the contract is kept operative by extending the time of completion
provisionally. During this provisional extended period the operation of the Price Variation Clause will
remain suspended.
ii) If and when it is decided at the end of the successful completion of the work that the delay was due to
causes not attributable to the contractor, then the Price Variation Clause will be revived and applied
as if the scheduled date of completion has been shifted to the approved extended date.
iii) If it is decided at the end of successful completion of the work that the delay was due to the fault of
the Contractor then the Price Variation Clause will not be revived and no payment will be made to the
contractor on this account. Additionally the Clause related to Compensation for delay will be applied.
iv) In some cases the total delay may be partially due to causes not attributable to the Contractor and
partially due to his fault. It may be difficult to exactly quantify the total delay proportionately in such
cases. The Price Variation Clause under such condition will be made operative for the entire extended
time period by freezing the relevant indices on the date of the scheduled date of completion as
originally fixed in the contract/ agreement. At the same time the Clause related to the compensation
for delay will also be applied.

14 Status of Exploration During FSP 1965-1975, the Regional Exploration for coal by drilling exploratory drilling in the Tenughat-Saram-
Tulbul-Koiyotanr-Gomia area in the western part of East Bokaro Coalfield, Bihar was taken up by A. B. Dutt, S. N.
Das, and P. S. Paul, Geologists (Senior), Geological Survey of India. The area was is bounded by Latitudes 23°45'
and 23°48' 30"N and Longitudes 85°43'30" and 85°51' E. The total are covered approximately 96 sq. km. and is
included within sheet Nos. 4,5, 11& 12 of Bokaro Coalfield (Scale 4" : 1 mile) and Survey of India topographical
sheet nos. 73 E/9 and 73 E/13, falling within Hazaribagh district, Bihar.

The hitherto unexplored sectors of the Bokaro Coalfield to the west of the Swang-Kathara axis was initiated with a
view to proving the nature, quality and reserves of coal seams within
a) The Raniganj Formation in the Pindra-Debipur kharwatanr area.
b) The Barakar Formation in the area west of the Kathara Block and Jhirki area.

The investigation commenced on 25.02.1966. During the entire period a total of 37 boreholes involving 15,428.62
m. of drilling was completed. Geological mapping of the area on 1:15,840 scale was carried out by S/Shri P.S. Paul
and A.B. Dutt during the field seasons 1966-67 to 1968-69.

The present area of Investigation has been curved out considering the Geological plan of the said report and the
physical occurrence of the Lugu hill in the Western part and the Tenughat dam in the East to South Eastern
boundary. As per the earlier carried out Geological plan of GSI, the rocks of Panchet Formation are expected to be
occurring at the surface of the proposed area of exploration.

Among 37 earlier drilled boreholes of GSI, as indicated above, 1 borehole namely EB-31 is falling with in the
present block.

In this connection, this is pertinent to mention that, during the Regional Exploration by GSI Coal Seams of Barakar
Formation encountered in Tenughat – Saram - Gomia area, nomenclature of the seams has been done as per the
Regional Nomenclature of the East Bokaro Coalfield whereas the Seams encountered Koiyotanr - Dumri area have
been done as per the Regional Nomenclature of the West Bokaro Coalfield. This may also be noted that several
boreholes of GSI are not drilled in the in-between areas up to the bottommost horizon for having a better ideas of
correlation of the two different nomenclature used. Thus their lies the scope of Regionally correlating all the seams
in a single frame since the East Bokaro and West Bokaro coalfield is nothing but a single Bokaro Basin having the
deeper part of the basin in the occurrence region of Lugu Hill, lies just west to the present proposed block.
