 What is the evaluation weightage
The evaluation weightage, termed as "Weight of Materials," pertains to instances where payment for the supply, installation, testing, etc., of an item is based on its weight. In such cases, the determination of the material's weight and the total weight of the item will be carried out by the Engineer-in-charge. It's important to note that the weights provided in schedules of items are approximate and are used for bid comparison purposes only. Actual weights may vary significantly from these approximations.

KSEB Ltd will not provide scales for weighing all materials. Instead, the weight of each part of the items involved will be determined using the most practicable methods, such as rail or road weight, shipping weight, manufacturer's weight, or catalogue weight. Net weights will be paid, and the weights of all tares, packing, and blocking will be deducted as applicable.

If materials are shipped by rail, the car weights will be accepted, but only the actual weights of the materials will be paid for, not the minimum car weights used for assessing freight tariffs.

Certain materials such as mortar, grout shine, wedges, lead, gaskets, welds, welding rods, paint, coating materials, and joint materials (excluding bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) applied at the site of construction will not be included in the weights for which payment is made.
