Quantities and BOQ increases by more than twenty-five (25) percent and, such
Unit Rate increase in quantity of that particular item alone concurrently

(1) percent, the Project Manager shall adjust the unit rate of the
item to allow for the change.
60.2 If requested by the Project Manager, the Contractor shall provide
the Project Manager with a detailed cost breakdown of any rate in
the BOQ.
61. Issue Variation 61.1 The Project Manager may issue a Variation Order to the
or Extra Work Contractor to cover increase or decrease in quantities, including
63
Order the introduction of new work items (non-Tendered items) that are
either due to change of plans, design or alignment to suit actual
field conditions, within the general scope and physical
boundaries of the contract.
61.2 The Project Manager may issue an Extra Work Order to cover
the introduction of such new works necessary for the completion,
improvement or protection of the original works which were not
included in the original contract, on the grounds where there are
subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing

duly unknown physical conditions at the site of an unusual nature
differing materially from those usually encountered and generally
recognized as inherent in the work or character provided for in
the Contract.
61.3 The Project Manager deems it necessary that a Variation or
Extra Work Order should be issued, he or she shall prepare the

the request or within any longer period stated by the Project
Manager and before the Variation is ordered.
62.2 If the item of work in the Variation corresponds to an item of work
in the BOQ and if, in the opinion of the Project Manager, the
increased quantity and cost of the works of that particular item
does not concurrently cause to exceed the limit stated in GCC
64
Sub Clause 60.1, the same unit rate in the BOQ shall be used to
calculate the cost of the Variation. If the item of work in the
Variation does not correspond to an item in the BOQ, the unit
rates for the new items of works shall be determined based on (i)
the direct unit costs used in the original Contract for other items
(e.g. unit cost of cement, steel bar, labour rate, equipment rental,
etc) as indicated in the Contractor’s price breakdown of the cost
estimate, if available or (ii) fixed prices acceptable to both, the
Procuring Entity and the Contractor, based on market prices. The
direct cost of the new work items based on (i) or (ii) stated herein
shall then be combined with the mark-up factor (i.e. profit,
overhead and VAT) used by the Contractor in its Tender to
determine the unit rate of the new items of work.
62.3 If the Contractor’s quotation is found to be unreasonable, the
Project Manager may order the Variation and make a change to
the Contract Price, which shall be based on the Project
Manager’s own forecast of the effects of the Variation on the
Contractor’s costs.

statement and certify the amount to be paid to the Contractor.

Manager.

certificate or reduce the proportion of any item previously

65. Payments to the 65.1 Payments shall be adjusted for deductions for advance payments
Contractor and retention. The Procuring Entity shall pay the Contractor the
amounts certified by the Project Manager within twenty-eight (28)
