However, the overall price remaining the same as quoted originally, the rates for all the items in the ‘Total quoted price (loaded for omissions)’ shall be reduced item wise in proportion to the ratio of ‘Original’ total price and the ‘Total quoted price (loaded for omissions)’’. vi) The ‘Final Total Amount’ shall be arrived at after considering the amounts worked out in line with ‘i’ to ‘iv’ above.
