D.5 Calculation of variable charges-
Monthly Variable charges –
= (D x S )Kg.Km X (Variable unit rate as per SOR)
Where, D- Total distance travelled by 3 MGVs during a month.

* Variable charges shall be calculated on monthly basis only.

D.7 Variable charges consists of fuel charges, vehicle and cascade maintenance charges, interstate permit charges, toll charges, cost of etc.
D.8 Fixed charges consists of the cost of vehicle and cascade, insurance charges etc
D.9 CNG Escalation /De-Escalation
Monthly hiring charges should be quoted considering the cost of CNG/HSD in Ghaziabad on the date of bid submission. This rate will be considered as base rate of CNG/HSD. The fluctuation in fuel retail-selling rate will be considered as escalation/de-escalation and will be applied accordingly from base rate.
The methodology of calculation of CNG / HSD escalation/de-escalation amount shall be as follows.
The calculation of escalation/de-escalation on account of cost of CNG/HSD over base rate, it would be considered that the MGV runs 5.0 KM per Kilogram/Ltr of CNG/HSD consumption. The calculation of escalation/de-escalation will be done as follows.
Let’s increase rate of CNG/HSD over base rate by Rs.2.5 /Kg or Ltr (from 1st of the month)
In case of HSD, where price fluctuation is more frequent, difference in average price of previous month to the current month will be considered
E.gTotal Km run during the month: 3600 Km
Additional amount to be paid for escalation of cost of CNG: (3600 / 5.0)*2.5 = Rs.1800.
If the escalation/de-escalation is more than Rs1/ per kg/Ltr (say Rs.X/ kg or Ltr, X>Rs.1/) & the vehicle runs for Y Kms during the month, the calculation will be as follows:
Additional amount to be paid for escalation of cost of CNG (to be deducted in case of decrease of price)=Rs.( X* Y) / (5)
