ANALYSIS OF RATES
Definition:
In order to determine the rate of a particular item,
the factors affecting the rate of that item are
studied carefully and then finally a rate is decided
for that item. This process of determining the
rates of an item is termed as analysis of rates or
rate analysis.
4
The rate of particular item of work depends on the
following.
Specifications of works and material about their quality,
proportion and constructional Operation method
 Quantity of materials and their costs
Cost of labors and their wages
Location of site of work and the distances from source and
conveyance charges
Overhead and establishment charges
Profit 5
Purpose of Analysis of rates
• To work out the actual cost of per unit of the items
• To work out the economical use of materials and
processes in completing the particulars item
• To work out the cost of extra items which are not
provided in the contract bond, but are to be done as per
the directions of the department
• To revise the schedule of rates due to increase in the cost
of material and labor or due to change in technique.
6
• Analysis is done for finding the cost of
Material
Cost of labors
7
Finding the cost of material
• The costs of materials are taken as delivered at
site inclusive of the transport local taxes and other
charges.
• The distance between the source of availability of
material and construction site is known as "Lead”
and is expected in Km.
• The cost of conveyance of material depends on
lead. This statement will give the total cost of
materials per unit item. It includes first cost,
conveyance loading, unloading stacking, charges
etc.
8
Cost of labor
It depends on different types of labors are
•Skilled 1st
class Skilled 2nd
Class Unskilled
•The labor charges can be obtained from the standard
schedule of rates.
• 30% of the skilled labor provided in the data may be taken
as Ist class, remaining 70% as II class.
•The rates of materials for Government works are fixed by
the superintendent Engineer for his circle every year and
approved by the Board of Chief Engineers.
• These rates are incorporated in the standard schedule of
rates. 9

CONTRACT
65
CONTRACT
•A contract is an agreement which can be enforced by law
•The contract invariably follows a proposal from one party
and its acceptance by the other. In absence of any of the above
elements of a contract, a contract becomes void.
•execution of work or
•supply of materials or
•performance of any service
66
A simple contract consist of
•an agreement (firm offer and acceptance)
•consideration (exchange for something of value
generally money to be paid when the services are done)
•capacity of the contract
•object of the contract must be lawful
67
• Contractor:
Contractor means private individuals
partnership firm, public or private limited
concerns who have made such an undertaking
for the execution of works or supply of
materials or for services concerned therewith
with the respective govt.
68
Essential requirements/ elements of a

69
• Lawful subject matter
o It is quite obvious that the court shall not enforce an
agreement which violates the provisions of the laws framed
by the law making bodies.
o Various instances of illegal contracts:
 Contracts involving fraud, crime etc
 Construction of building without getting approval for plan
 Construction of dam prior to the acquisition of land
70
• Valid consideration

CONTRACT DOCUMENT
The following information should a contract document contain
Title page – It contains name of the work.
Index page- It contains all the items of contract document along
with corresponding page number.
Tender notice –This document contains brief description of the
work and it is intended to create among the contractor who is
interested in work.
Information- This document furnishes detailed instructions to
the contractors regarding the preparation of tender. 73
 Tender form- This document is essential for making all tenders
uniform and similar in nature. It helps in comparing tenders.
 Letter of acceptance of tender and written order to commence
work
 Conditions of contract- This document contain various
conditions of contract and these conditions are binding to the
parties who are entering into the contract.
 Drawings with specification – Plan, elevation and section
 Schedule of issue of materials –List of T& P issued, their rate,
place of delivery, condition of recovery etc 74
Forms of contract: (types of engineering
contracts)
• Lump sum contract
– In this form of contract, contractors are required to quote a
fixed sum for execution of a work complete in all aspects
Advantages:
• The definite amount to be spent on the work is known
to the owner as soon as the contract is given.
• Detailed measurements of the work done are not
required
• The contractor is eager to complete the work as early as
possible because of following reason
75
• Disadvantages:
– It is very difficult and sometimes annoying to adjust the
changes in the plans and the specifications at a later stage.
– In case the plans are indefinite and specifications are not
clear, the contractor will gamble on uncertainties and in
doing so, he may increase the amount of his tender to meet
the work situation.
– Conflicts may arise between contractor and owner. The
owner will be interested in taking the maximum advantage
of the contractor for the amount he is giving to him. On the
other hand contractor tries to execute the minimum that is
required under the 76
Forms of contract: (types of engineering
contracts)
Unit price contract or item rate contract
 In this form of contracts, the contractor quotes his rate per unit of each
item of the construction. The rate of the contractor includes materials,
labour, overhead cost and profit.
 Advantages:
i. It is possible to make reasonable changes in the quantities of the
tender items during the progress of work.
ii.As the payment is done on unit basis, only the amount for the
actual work done shall be paid to the contractor.
77
 Disadvantages:
i. Classification of the materials results in dispute between
the owner and contractor.
ii.It is impossible to know the final cost of the project.
iii.If the work is started before the final plans of the work
is ready, the demolishing of some work shall have to be
done to accommodate the subsequent changes in the
plan.
78
Forms of contract: (types of engineering
contracts)
Cost plus or percentage contract
 Cost plus a fixed percentage: In this arrangement, a certain fixed
percentage of the total amount spent by the owner as his fees.(usually
10-15%)
 Cost plus a fixed sum: In this arrangement, in addition to the total
cost of the materials, labor etc, the owner agrees to pay a definite fixed
amount to the contractor for his services.
 Cost plus a fixed sum with a profit sharing clause: This arrangement is
sometimes adopted to induce the contractor to bring down the cost of the work
lower than its estimated cost. The contractor is given a share in the amount
thus saved, in addition to his fixed sum as agreed.
79
Cost plus a fixed sum with bonus clause: This arrangement is adopted
in cases where the work is to be completed urgently. Target date is fixed
for the completion of work and if the contractor is able to manage early
completion of the work, he is paid at a certain amount per each day of
early completion in addition to his normal fixed sum.
Advantages:
i. No conflicts arise as the contractor is guaranteed for a certain fixed
profit.
ii.It reduces the time of completion
iii.The work can be started as soon as contractors are fixed and it is
not necessary to wait until the final plans and the specifications of
the work are ready.
80
 Disadvantages:
i.Final cost cannot be predicted
ii.Subsequent changes in the plans are
incorporated by the owner. This results in
unnecessary increase in the final cost.
iii.The contractor maintains a account for his
materials purchased, labour and equipment
charges etc. It is difficult to check all such
amounts.
81
1. Basic price contractor
 When the market is unstable and the prices of essential material are
fluctuating to a greater extent, it is quite likely that no contractor come
forward to carry out the work.
 Hence a slight modification of unit price or item rate contract is made.
 The contractor mentions in his tender the basic prices of some
materials. It is understood that the rates of various items mentioned by
the contractor are based on unit price. Hence if there is rise or fall in
the prices of the materials, the same is adjusted without any serious
conflict.
82
1. Labor contract
 This is the contract where the contractor quotes rates for only for labor.
The owner is in the position to purchase the required materials himself.
 This rate include
i. Use of contractor plant and equipment
ii.All necessary falsework
iii.Contractor supervision
iv.Contractor profit
2. Negotiated contract
 When the work is awarded on contract by mutual negotiation between
the parties without the call of tenders, it is said to be negotiated
contract.
83
1. Demolition contract
 This is the simplest type of contract in the sense that the owner invites
tenders for the demolition of the existing structures.
1. Material supply contract
 In this form contractors have to offer their rates of supply of the
required quantity of materials, inclusive of all local taxes, carriage and
delivery charges to the specified stores within the fixed time.
1. Piece work agreement
 In case of petty work valued upto Rs.10000/-each inclusive of cost of
materials are carried out through contractors by piece work agreement.
It is terminable at any time by both parties.
84
Schedule contract or measured contract
 Except lump-sum contract all other types of contracts are measured
contracts. In this contract, the total cost is worked out by the detailed
measurement of each item of work after its completion.
Rate contract
 This is the contract for supply of some manufactured articles or
materials like pipe, A.C. sheets, and cast iron specials. etc
Turnkey contract/package contract/ combined contract
 It sometimes happens that the owner contemplating a construction
project desires to deal with only one party for all services, both
engineering and construction, in connection with the work. This is
called turnkey or package contract.
85
• Termination of contract:
1.Termination by performance (work complete)
2.Termination by agreement
3.Termination by breach (one party breaks the
provision of the contract)
4.Termination by impossibility of the
performance
5.Termination by the provision of law
86
ARBITRATION AND
LEGALATION
Definition:
It is a process by which parties by way of an agreement in
writing submit their disputes or differences to a neutral person or
group of persons for binding adjudication.
The essentials of arbitration are:
1.Agreement in writing
2.Arbitrators
3.Binding adjudication.
87
Arbitrators:
An arbitrator is more or less like a private judge chosen by
parties and endowed by them with power and privilege to decide
the matter of dispute between them.
Kinds of arbitration:
1.Institutional arbitration
2.Ad hoc arbitration
3.Fast track arbitration
4.Statutory arbitration
5.Online arbitration
88
• Advantage of arbitration:
1.It is possible to avoid legal formalities, delays
and expenses.
2.Simple process to solve the dispute
3.It is conducted in private and not in open as in
court

  • 75. Forms of contract: (types of engineering contracts) • Lump sum contract – In this form of contract, contractors are required to quote a fixed sum for execution of a work complete in all aspects Advantages: • The definite amount to be spent on the work is known to the owner as soon as the contract is given. • Detailed measurements of the work done are not required • The contractor is eager to complete the work as early as possible because of following reason 75
  • 76. • Disadvantages: – It is very difficult and sometimes annoying to adjust the changes in the plans and the specifications at a later stage. – In case the plans are indefinite and specifications are not clear, the contractor will gamble on uncertainties and in doing so, he may increase the amount of his tender to meet the work situation. – Conflicts may arise between contractor and owner. The owner will be interested in taking the maximum advantage of the contractor for the amount he is giving to him. On the other hand contractor tries to execute the minimum that is required under the 76
  • 77. Forms of contract: (types of engineering contracts) Unit price contract or item rate contract  In this form of contracts, the contractor quotes his rate per unit of each item of the construction. The rate of the contractor includes materials, labour, overhead cost and profit.  Advantages: i. It is possible to make reasonable changes in the quantities of the tender items during the progress of work. ii.As the payment is done on unit basis, only the amount for the actual work done shall be paid to the contractor. 77
  • 78.  Disadvantages: i. Classification of the materials results in dispute between the owner and contractor. ii.It is impossible to know the final cost of the project. iii.If the work is started before the final plans of the work is ready, the demolishing of some work shall have to be done to accommodate the subsequent changes in the plan. 78
  • 79. Forms of contract: (types of engineering contracts) Cost plus or percentage contract  Cost plus a fixed percentage: In this arrangement, a certain fixed percentage of the total amount spent by the owner as his fees.(usually 10-15%)  Cost plus a fixed sum: In this arrangement, in addition to the total cost of the materials, labor etc, the owner agrees to pay a definite fixed amount to the contractor for his services.  Cost plus a fixed sum with a profit sharing clause: This arrangement is sometimes adopted to induce the contractor to bring down the cost of the work lower than its estimated cost. The contractor is given a share in the amount thus saved, in addition to his fixed sum as agreed. 79
  • 80. Cost plus a fixed sum with bonus clause: This arrangement is adopted in cases where the work is to be completed urgently. Target date is fixed for the completion of work and if the contractor is able to manage early completion of the work, he is paid at a certain amount per each day of early completion in addition to his normal fixed sum. Advantages: i. No conflicts arise as the contractor is guaranteed for a certain fixed profit. ii.It reduces the time of completion iii.The work can be started as soon as contractors are fixed and it is not necessary to wait until the final plans and the specifications of the work are ready. 80
  • 81.  Disadvantages: i.Final cost cannot be predicted ii.Subsequent changes in the plans are incorporated by the owner. This results in unnecessary increase in the final cost. iii.The contractor maintains a account for his materials purchased, labour and equipment charges etc. It is difficult to check all such amounts. 81
  • 82. 1. Basic price contractor  When the market is unstable and the prices of essential material are fluctuating to a greater extent, it is quite likely that no contractor come forward to carry out the work.  Hence a slight modification of unit price or item rate contract is made.  The contractor mentions in his tender the basic prices of some materials. It is understood that the rates of various items mentioned by the contractor are based on unit price. Hence if there is rise or fall in the prices of the materials, the same is adjusted without any serious conflict. 82
  • 83. 1. Labor contract  This is the contract where the contractor quotes rates for only for labor. The owner is in the position to purchase the required materials himself.  This rate include i. Use of contractor plant and equipment ii.All necessary falsework iii.Contractor supervision iv.Contractor profit 2. Negotiated contract  When the work is awarded on contract by mutual negotiation between the parties without the call of tenders, it is said to be negotiated contract. 83
  • 84. 1. Demolition contract  This is the simplest type of contract in the sense that the owner invites tenders for the demolition of the existing structures. 1. Material supply contract  In this form contractors have to offer their rates of supply of the required quantity of materials, inclusive of all local taxes, carriage and delivery charges to the specified stores within the fixed time. 1. Piece work agreement  In case of petty work valued upto Rs.10000/-each inclusive of cost of materials are carried out through contractors by piece work agreement.
