Clause No. 3 Price adjustment
The Contract Price shall remain firm and there shall be no scope for price adjustment. Further, the EPC contractor shall not be eligible to claim any interest in case the payment is delayed by the owner on account of any dispute or arbitration etc. (M/s Angelique)
Hydroelectric projects are constructed with a long implementation schedule and hence carries risk in enhancement of material & services cost. Long lead projects where civil components are substantially high are generally being implemented with Price Variation Formula. 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: i. 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.
ii. 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 price variation shall be allowed for that particular component only for the period of delay beyond the six month period.
Cl. No.1.3 / Part -2/ Information & Instruction to Applicants
……………………………. This is a fixed EPC Turnkey Lump Sum Fixed Cost contract and no variation on any account shall be allowed in the contract. (M/s Power Mech)
You will kindly appreciate that geological surprises are very common during execution of hydro project resulting in delay in completion of project. Therefore it is requested that price variation may kindly be permitted on delayed works beyond the original contractual period, if the project completion is delayed for reasons not attributable to Contractor.

(The EPC Contract does not have any Foreign Currency Component. As such, Foreign Currency Component and its
connected formulae/ indices, wherever reflected in this Annexure, shall not be considered.)
(i) The Contract Price shall be subject to Price Adjustment during performance
of the Contract to reflect changes in the cost of labour and material compo-
nents etc. in accordance with the provisions described below.
(ii) The Price Adjustment provisions shall be applicable separately for price com-
ponents relating to supply of Equipment and Erection, as per price break-up
furnished by the Contractor in Schedule-1/ Schedule-2 and Schedule-4. (iii) Only following components of the Contract Price will be subject to Price
Adjustment:
(a) Ex-Works (India) Price of Plant and Equipment excluding Mandatory
Spares manufactured within the Employer's Country (covered in
Schedule 2) and FOB Price component for Plant and Equipment ex-

Schedule 4).
(c) Civil Works Component of the Contract Price (covered in Schedule-4)
(iv) Price Adjustment amounts towards aforesaid components of Contract Price
shall be paid in the respective currencies of Contract. Specified ceilings on
amount of Price Adjustment shall be applicable for each of the Contract cur-

(v) The indices for Price Adjustment shall necessarily be of the country of ori-
gin of goods/labour and shall be well established and nationally recognized in
that country. Preferably Government indices shall be used.

dispatch comprises of a fixed portion (designated as 'F' and the value of
which is specified hereunder) and a variable portion linked with the indices for
PAGE 2 OF 17
various materials and labour (description and co-efficient as enumerated
below).
The amount of Price Adjustment towards variable portion payable/recoverable
on each shipment/dispatch shall be computed as under :
EC = EC1 - EC0
EC1 will be computed as follows :
A1 B1 C1
EC1= EC0 { F + a x ----- x f1 + b x ------ x f2 + c x ------ x f3 +
A0 B0 C0
L1
Lb x ------ x fLb} L0
Where

tract Price (F) shall be 0.15.
- a,b,c etc. shall be co-efficient of major materials/items involved in
the Ex-works/FOB Component of the Contract Price. The
sum of these co-efficients shall be between 0.50 to 0.60.

major materials/items. Such indices shall necessarily be of
the country of origin of goods.
PAGE 3 OF 17
- 'Lb" shall be co-efficient for labour component in the Ex-works/
FOB Component of the Contract Price which shall be between
0.25 to0.35.
'L' shall be labour index.
- Sum of all the material co-efficients and the labour co-efficient
shall be 0.85.
f1, f2 - f1,f2,f3 etc. are Exchange rate correction factors for the res-
f3, fLb etc. pective materials and fLb is the exchange rate correction fac-
tor for labour with reference to the currency of the country of
origin of index and the respective contract currency, such that
Z0 f = ----

Award to the date of shipment/dispatch, for material.
For the purpose of this clause the date of shipment/dispatch shall mean the
Schedule date of shipment/dispatch or actual date of shipment/dispatch,
whichever is earlier. The schedule date of shipment/dispatch shall be as
identified in line with provisions of Time Schedule, Appendix-4 to the Contract

separate ceilings of twenty percent (20%) of Ex-Works Price and FOB Price
PAGE 4 OF 17
component of the Contract Price respectively. The actual payment of esca-
lation at any stage shall not exceed 20% of cummulative Ex-Works Price or
FOB Price of Plant and Equipment already supplied, as the case may be.
Any escalation at any stage exceeding the aforesaid actual payment in either
the Ex-works Price Component or the FOB Price Component shall be kept
to the credit of the contractor and shall be released as and when the actual
payment of escalation falls below 20% of cummulative Ex-works Price or
FOB of Plant and Equipment already supplied, as the case may be. Any un-
adjusted credit shall however, lapse when the actual cumulative Price Adjust-
ment payments reach the respective ceiling amount of 20% of Ex-works
Price or FOB Price component of the Contract, as the case may be. The
specified ceiling of 20% of the adjustment amount towards Ex-works or
FOB Price of the Plant and Equipment shall be applicable for each of the
Contract Currencies separately and Price Adjustment amount shall be com-
puted and payable/recoverable in respective currencies.
In case of shipments/dispatches which are delayed beyond the schedule
date of shipment/dispatch for reasons attributable to the Contractor the Price
adjustment provision shall not be applicable for the period of time between
the schedule date of shipment/dispatch and the actual date of shipment/des-
patch. For this purpose, the schedule date of shipment/dispatch shall be as
given above.
The above formula for Price Adjustment will be applicable if the currency in
which the Contract Price is expressed is different from the Currency of the
country of origin of labour and material indices. In other case, formula shall
be applied without the exchange rate correction factor 'f'.
