Works have been broadly divided into three categories, namely, civil and track works, signalling and telecommunication works and electrification works, which could be taken together under a single project or separately under different projects. Each item of work has been further sub-divided into stages and payment will be made for each completed stage of work. A provision has been made for damages which the Contractor shall pay to Authority for not achieving the prescribed milestones. Authority will pay bonus to the Contractor for completion of the project before the scheduled completion date. Defects liability period: Though normally a defects liability period of one year is specified in most contracts, a defects liability period of two years has been specified in the Agreement in order to provide additional comfort to the Authority.
