schedule. However, CMPDI shall reimburse the actual cost of analysis on production of certified laboratory
bills. The maximum reimbursable rates shall be CIMFR rates applicable for CMPDI.

4.7 In case of lower core recovery in normal geological conditions or jamming of the boreholes before
completion of depth, deviation drilling/re-drilling shall be carried out by the bidder at his own cost on the
instruction of CMPDI. However, if re-drilling is resorted to, the borehole location point shall be at the
nearest possible distance from the original borehole and the bidder shall be free to do non-coring drilling
up to the depth from where the coring drilling is required for generating cores with stipulated recovery.

4.8 If a borehole fails to drill up to the targeted depth due to drilling difficulties or otherwise, the bidder shall
have to re-drill a fresh borehole in lieu of the abandoned borehole. However, bidder need not to drill a
fresh borehole in lieu of that abandoned borehole in which more than 80% of the targeted depth has been
achieved provided that number of such abandoned boreholes are within 10% of the planned number of
boreholes for the block and they are scattered over the block. CMPDI shall pay for drilling against such
