PWD Code
Public Works Department Code is intended to define the scope of the administrative and executive functions of the officers under this Department.
There should normally be no post tender negotiations. If at all negotiations are warranted under exceptional circumstances, then it can be with L1, (Lowest tenderer) only.
After finalisation of the tender process, the scope of work should not be increased during period of execution. No additional/ supplementary/ substitute items should be considered.
To prevent unnecessary blocking of earnest money of the unsuccessful bidders, the bid evaluation committee shall carry out the financial evaluation of the tender just after financial bid opening (selection of L1 bidder) and all the unsuccessful bids shall be REJECTED.
Reference of the G.O. under which the Administrative Approval and Financial Sanction was issued, should invariably be given in the Sanction-cum-Allotment order.
Superintending Engineers are solely empowered to accord technical sanction to estimates for ordinary repair works in residences as per the extant policy of Public Works Department.
This book will be helpful to the new entrant Assistant Engineer (Elect) and Junior Engineer (Elect) for preparation of estimate and inspection of works.
