total as quoted will govern and the unit rate will be corrected.

[Notes on the Conditions of Contract]
Over the years, a number of “model” General Conditions of Contract have evolved. The one used in
these Standard Bidding Documents was prepared by the International Federation of Consulting
Engineers (Federation International des Ingenieurs-Conseils, or FIDIC), and is commonly known as the
FIDIC Conditions of Contract.(The used version is the fourth edition, 1987, reprinted in 1992 with
further amendments).
The FIDIC Conditions of Contract have been prepared for an ad measurement (unit price or unit rate)
type of contract, and cannot be used without major modifications for other types of contract, such as
lump sum, turnkey, or target cost contracts.
The standard text of the General Conditions of Contract chosen must be retained intact to facilitate its
reading and interpretation by bidders and its review by the Client. Any amendments and additions to the
General Conditions, specific to the contract in hand, should be introduced in the Particular Conditions
of Contract.
The use of standard conditions of contract for all civil works will ensure comprehensiveness of coverage,
better balance of rights or obligations between Employer and Contractor, general acceptability of its
provisions, and savings in time and cost for bid preparation and review, leading to more economic prices.
The FIDIC Conditions of Contract are copyrighted and may not be copied, faxed, or reproduced.
Without taking any responsibility of its being accurate, Pakistan Engineering Council with prior consent
of FIDIC Secretariat, has reproduced herein the FIDIC General Conditions of Contract for reference
purpose only which cannot be used by the users for preparing their bidding documents. The bidding
document may include a purchased copy, the cost of which can be retrieved as part of the selling price
of the bidding document. Alternatively, the FIDIC Conditions of Contract can be referred to in the
bidding documents, and the bidders are advised to obtain copies directly from FIDIC.*
