Conditions for adopting force account 

List of the situation where you can utilise force account is mentioned below: 

• Works are small or in remote locations where mobilisation costs for the contractors would be unreasonably high and  they would quote unreasonably high rates. 
• Works cannot be carried out without disrupting the progress of on-going operations. 
• To bear risks of unavoidable interruptions (a contractor or supplier cannot sometime quantify the losses). 
• Emergencies needing proper attention, such as repairs or restoring of railway track washed away by floods to restart rail communication. 
• Items of work that cannot be measured, such as dressing of roads, watering of plants and so on.
