COMPLETION CERTIFICATE
14.1
Tests
14.1.1 At least 30 (thirty) days prior to the likely completion of the Project Highway, the
Concessionaire shall notify the Independent Engineer of its intent to subject the Project
Highway to Tests. The date and time of each of the Tests shall be determined by the
Independent Engineer in consultation with the Concessionaire, and notified to the
Government who may designate its representative to witness the Tests. The Concessionaire
shall provide such assistance as the Independent Engineer may reasonably require for
conducting the Tests. In the event of the Concessionaire and the Independent Engineer
failing to mutually agree on the dates for conducting the Tests, the Concessionaire shall fix
the dates by not less than 10 (ten) days notice to the Independent Engineer.
14.1.2 All Tests shall be conducted in accordance with Schedule-I. The Independent Engineer shall
observe, monitor and review the results of the Tests to determine compliance of the Project
Highway with Specifications and Standards and if it is reasonably anticipated or determined
by the Independent Engineer during the course of any Test that the performance of the
Project Highway or any part thereof does not meet the Specifications and Standards, it shall
have the right to suspend or delay such Test and require the Concessionaire to remedy and
rectify the defects or deficiencies. Upon completion of each Test, the Independent Engineer
shall provide to the Concessionaire and the Government copies of all Test data including
detailed Test results. For the avoidance of doubt it is expressly agreed that the Independent
Engineer may require the Concessionaire to carry out or cause to be carried out additional
Tests in accordance with good industry practice for determining the compliance of the
Project Highway with Specifications and Standards.
14.2
Completion Certificate
Upon the Independent Engineer determining the Tests to be successful, it shall forthwith
issue to the Concessionaire and the Authority a certificate substantially in the form set forth
in Schedule-J (the "Completion Certificate").
14.3
Provisional Certificate
The Independent Engineer may, at the request of the Concessionaire, issue a provisional
certificate of completion substantially in the form set forth in Schedule J (the "Provisional
Certificate") if the Tests are successful and the Project Highway can be safely and reliably
placed in commercial operation though certain works or things forming part thereof are
outstanding and not yet complete. H. > In such an event, the Provisional Certificate shall
have appended thereto a list of outstanding items signed jointly by the Independent Engineer
and the Concessionaire (the "Punch List"); provided that the Independent Engineer shall
not withhold the Provisional Certificate for reason of any work remaining incomplete if the
delay in completion thereof is attributable to the Authority.
14.4
Completion of Punch List items
14.4.1 All items in the Punch List shall be completed by the Concessionaire within 90 (ninety) days
of the date of issue of the Provisional Certificate and for any delay thereafter, other than for
reasons solely attributable to the Government or due to Force Majeure, the Government shall
be entitled to recover Damages from the Concessionaire to be calculated and paid for each
day of delay until all items are completed, at the lower of (a) 0.1% (zero point one per cent)
of the Performance Security, and (b) 0.2% (zero point two per cent) of the cost of completing
such items as estimated by the Independent Engineer. Subject to payment of such Damages,
the Concessionaire shall be entitled to a further period not exceeding 120 (one hundred and
Maharashtra
Page 74
twenty) days for completion of the Punch List items. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed
that if completion of any item is delayed for reasons solely attributable to the Government or
due to Force Majeure, the completion date thereof shall be determined by the Independent
Engineer in accordance with Good Industry Practice, and such completion date shall be
deemed to be the date of issue of the Provisional Certificate for the purposes of Damages, if
any, payable for such item under this Clause 14.4.1.
14.4.2 Upon completion of all Punch List items, the Independent Engineer shall issue the
Completion Certificate. Failure of the Concessionaire to complete all the Punch List items
within the time set forth in Clause 14.4.1 for any reason, other than conditions constituting
Force Majeure or for reasons solely attributable to the Government, shall entitle the
Government to terminate this Agreement.
14.5
Withholding of Provisional Certificate
14.5.1 If the Independent Engineer determines that the Project Highway or any part thereof does not
conform to the provisions of this Agreement and cannot be safely and reliably placed in
commercial operation, it shall forthwith make a report in this behalf and send copies thereof
to the Government and the Concessionaire. Upon receipt of such a report from the
Independent Engineer and after conducting its own inspection, if the Government is of the
opinion that the Project Highway is not fit and safe for commercial service, it shall, within 7
(seven) days of receiving the aforesaid report, notify the Concessionaire of the defects and
deficiencies in the Project Highway and direct the Independent Engineer to withhold
issuance of the Provisional Certificate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Concessionaire shall
remedy and rectify such defects or deficiencies and thereupon Tests shall be undertaken in
accordance with this Article 14. Such procedure shall be repeated as necessary until the
defects or deficiencies are rectified.
14.5.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Clause 14.5.1, the Government may,
at any time after receiving a report from the Independent Engineer under that Clause, direct
the Independent Engineer to issue a Provisional Certificate under Clause 14.3, and such
direction shall be complied forthwith.
14.6
Rescheduling of Tests
If the Independent Engineer certifies to the Government and the Concessionaire that it is
unable to issue the Completion Certificate or Provisional Certificate, as the case may be,
because of events or circumstances on account of which the Tests could not be held or had to
be suspended, the Concessionaire shall be entitled to re-schedule the Tests and hold the same
as soon as reasonably practicable.

Documentation in support of:
(a)
the impact, if any, which the Change of Scope is likely to have on the Project
Completion Schedule if the works or services are required to be carried out during the
Construction Period, and
(b) the options for implementing the proposed Change of Scope and the effect, if any, each
such option would have on the costs and time thereof, including a detailed breakdown
by work classifications specifying the material and labour costs calculated in
accordance with the schedule of rates applicable to the works assigned by the
Government to its contractors, along with the proposed premium/discount on such
rates; provided that the cost incurred by the Concessionaire in providing such
information shall be reimbursed by the Government to the extent such cost is certified
by the Independent Engineer as reasonable.
16.2.3 Upon receipt of information set forth in Clause 16.2.2, if the Government decides to proceed
with the Change of Scope, it shall convey its preferred option to the Concessionaire, and the
Parties shall, with assistance of the Independent Engineer, thereupon make good faith efforts
to agree upon the time and costs for implementation thereof. Upon reaching an agreement,
the Government shall issue an order (the "Change of Scope Order") requiring the
Concessionaire to proceed with the performance thereof. In the event that the Parties are
unable to agree, the Government may, by issuing a Change of Scope Order, require the
Concessionaire to proceed with the performance thereof pending resolution of the Dispute,
or carry out the works in accordance with Clause 16.5.
16.2.4 The provisions of this Agreement, insofar as they relate to Construction Works and Tests,
shall apply mutatis mutandis to the works undertaken by the Concessionaire under this

cent) of the cost assessed by the Independent Engineer. The Concessionaire shall, after
commencement of work, present to the Government bills for payment in respect of the works
in progress or completed works, as the case may be, supported by such Documentation as is
reasonably sufficient for the Government to determine the accuracy thereof. Within 30
(thirty) days of receipt of such bills, the Government shall disburse to the Concessionaire
such amounts as are certified by the Independent Engineer as reasonable and after making a
proportionate deduction for the advance payment made hereunder, and in the event of any
Dispute, final adjustments thereto shall be made under and in accordance with the Dispute
Resolution Procedure.
16.3.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Clause 16.3.1, all costs arising out of
any Change of Scope Order issued during the Construction Period shall be borne by the
Concessionaire, subject to an aggregate ceiling of 0.25% (zero point two five per cent) of the
Total Project Cost. Any costs in excess of the ceiling shall be reimbursed by the Government
in accordance with Clause 16.3.1. In the event that the total cost arising out of Change of
Scope Orders (if any) issued prior to the Project Completion Date is less than 0.25% (zero
point two five per cent) of the Total Project Cost, the difference thereof shall be credited by
the Concessionaire to the Safety Fund within a period of 180 (one hundred and eighty) days
of the Project Completion Date.
16.4
Restriction on certain works
16.4.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 16, the Government shall
not require the Concessionaire to undertake any works or services if such works or services
are likely to delay completion of [Four-Laning]; provided that in the event that the

Order, subject to the condition that the works forming part of or affected by such Order shall
not be reckoned for purposes of determining completion of [Four-Laning] and issuing the
Provisional Certificate.
16.4.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 16, the Concessionaire
shall be entitled to nullify any Change of Scope Order if it causes the cumulative costs
relating to all the Change of Scope Orders to exceed 5% (five per cent) of the Total Project
Cost in any continuous period of 3 (three) years immediately preceding the date of such
Change of Scope Order or if such cumulative costs exceed 20% (twenty per cent) of the
Total Project Cost at any time during the Concession Period. .
16.5
Power of the Authority to undertake works
16.5.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Clauses 16.2 and 16.3, the
Government may, after giving notice to the Concessionaire and considering its reply thereto,
award such works or services to any person on the basis of open competitive bidding;

terms of the selection criteria, subject to payment of 2% (two per cent) of the bid amount to
the Government 12, and thereupon securing the award of such works or services. For the
avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that the Concessionaire shall be entitled to exercise such
option only if it has participated in the bidding process and its bid does not exceed the first
ranked bid by more than 10% (ten percent) thereof.
16.5.2 The works undertaken in accordance with this Clause 16.5 shall conform to the
Specifications and Standards and shall be carried out in a manner that minimises the
disruption in operation of the Project Highway. The provisions of this Agreement, insofar as
