Text size — level 1 of 4
(a)
The local officer should furnish the Executive Engineer or District Engineer or Electrical Engineer or Chief Engineer, Public Health Engineering Department with particulars of the reasons for which the work is required including the case of residential projects the accommodation of which is to be provided while the Public Works Department Officer concerned should show that his plan will generally suit the local officer's requirements. He should give particulars as to the class of work which it is proposed to provide for and show on what information his estimate of cost is based.(b)
As a rule, rough plans and estimates only will be prepared in the first instance if the work is likely to cost more than Rs. 5,000 unless there is a likelihood of funds being available in the course of the year and the work is within the power of administrative approval of the Director. A requisition estimate need only be prepared for works costing less than Rs. 1,000 while a detailed plan and estimate will be likely to be available within a reasonable period, otherwise rough plans and estimates only will be prepared.(c)
The Chief Engineer, Public Health Engineering Department and Executive Engineer, a District Engineer or the Electrical Inspector should not prepare rough or detailed plans and estimates for works which appear to him to be of an abnormal nature, or which are not usually allowed. When requests for such works are received, he should obtain the orders of Government through his departmental superiors before taking any further action.Your private note on this section
