We request you to allow Price Variation clause under the Contract and provide us relevant formulas.

Price variation shall be allowed in the Contract, in case of reasons attributable to the Owner viz:

1. Delay of more than one year from the last date of financial bid submission to the award of Contract by JKSPDC, provided, however, that the successful bidder responds and submits any clarifications that JKSPDC may ask during the bid evaluation and award stage, in time. The price variation shall be allowed for the period of delay beyond the one year period.

2. Delay of more than six months in handing over of encumbrance-free land to the EPC Contractor for a particular project component from the start date of that project component as per the agreed construction schedule. The

It is understood that the Civil Works Price Component comprises a fixed

portion (designated as 'F' and the value of which is specified hereunder) and

variable portion linked with the indices for various materials and labour

(description and coefficients as enumerated below):


shall be computed as follows:

ECW = CC1 - CC0

CC1 will be computed as follows:
