The contract is on item rate basis for labour portion only and contractor is paid for the quantities of work done on measurement of the different items of work at the stipulated rate in the contract agreement. Materials for scaffolding, centering and stuttering and other similar materials are supplied by the department' or owner, contractor may also use his own materials for scaffolding, centering and shuttering, etc., if provided in the agreement.
