Russian term

сводной сметы, является твердой

Russian to English Law/Patents Petroleum Eng/Sci
From a services contract pertaining to the Shtokman fields.

I have been instructed that сводной сметы is to be transted Cost Estimate Summary. However, it is also "твердой " which appears to contradict that.

Стоимость работ по договору определена на основании сводной сметы, является твердой и составляет _______ (________________) руб., кроме того НДС (__)% ________ (___________) руб.

a lawyer wrote this one too: в котором указывает фактически выполненный на момент получения уведомления об отказе объем работ
ViBe Feb 6, 2013:
Amy is right: "Стоимость работ по договору... является твердой". Poorly worded in Russian, therefore vague and confusing.
George Pavlov Feb 6, 2013:
Agree with Amy The cost of works is firm, not the calculation.
Amy Lesiewicz Feb 6, 2013:
Parsing It is the стоимость работ that is твердой, not the сводная смета.

I worked at an American engineering company translating for their Russian oil and gas projects, and they used "Cost Estimate Summary" for this term.
