1. Rates are inclusive of all underground lead and lifts and inclusive of
ground lead up to 100 m only and all lifts for all materials for complete
items unless otherwise specified.
2. Excavation.- (a) All the open cut excavation shall be measured and paid
as per Chapter 4-"Excavation and Earthwork".
(b) Sectional measurements shall normally be taken. Only in exceptional
cases, where sectional measurements are not possible, the payment of
rock excavation may be done by stack measurements in which case 40%
deduction shall be made from the gross quantities to make allowance for
voids.
(c) The rates include dressing to the extent necessary for a particular item of
work.
(d) The payment for excavation shall be done as per payline indicated in the
drawing.
(e) The payment for overbreak beyond payline if beyond human control
shall be-
(i) 50% for excavation items; and
(ii) 80% for concrete items.
3. Iron work.- The rates include all labour and material that go into finished
product such as-
(a) Drilling, punching, fitting, cutting, bending, forging etc.,
(b) All bolts, nuts, washer, plate, screws, rivets, cleats, wedges etc.
(c) fabrication, erection, finishing and fixing in position.
4. The rates given under this chapter are for work inside the tunnel, shaft and
adit.
5. Measurements.- (a) Linear dimensions shall be measured to the nearest 0.01
m, the area shall be worked out to the nearest 0.01 sq m and cubical
contents to the nearest 0.01 cu m.
(b) The measurement of permanent supports shall be done by weight, in kg.
which shall include the total weight of steel sections including the logging,
if any. butt plates, feather plates, bolts and nuts and tie rods.
(c) No deduction shall be made for the volume of the reinforcement, but the
volume of permanent steel supports where provided shall be deducted
from the total volume of concrete lining.
