[In event no rate has been quoted for any item(s), leaving space both in figure(s), word(s) and amount blank, it will be presumed that the Bidder has included the cost of this/ these item(s) in other items and rate for such item(s) will be considered as zero and work will be required to be executed accordingly]

(d) In the case of percentage rate tender, the Bidders are required to quote their rates both in amount as well as in the percentage below/above the rates entered in the schedule. In such cases in the event of arithmetical error committed in working out the amount by the Bidder, the tendered percentage and not the amount should be taken into account.

The amount stated in the Bid will be adjusted by the Corporation in accordance with the above procedure for the correction of errors and shall be considered as binding upon the Bidder.

The Corporation reserves the right to accept or reject any offer.

In evaluating the Bids, the Corporation will determine for each Bid, the evaluated Bid Price by adjusting the Bid Price by making any correction for errors pursuant to clause 31 of NIT (Correction of errors).

The estimated effect of the price adjustment conditions under Variations and Deviations of the Conditions of Contract, during the period of implementation of the Contract, will not be taken into account in Bid evaluation.

If the Bid of the successful Bidder is seriously unbalanced in relation to the Engineer-in-charge or his representative's estimate of the cost of work to be executed under the contract, the Corporation may require the Bidder to produce detailed rate analyses for any or all items of the Bill of Quantities, to demonstrate the internal consistency of those rates with the implementation/construction methods and schedule proposed.

Any deviation in the commercial terms shall be suitably loaded before evaluation.
