All expected lane closures shall be coordinated with the Engineer and prior, written
authorization shall be obtained from the Engineer in advance of closing any lanes for
a length longer than 100 m. In emergency or hazardous situations, the Contractor
may close lanes without prior authorization of the Engineer but shall comply with the
specifications for lane closure
Maintenance work on the carriageway shall be restricted only to one side and only at
particular point, and no work shall be carried out simultaneously on the slow shoulder
and the fast lanes. Partial closure of a lane shall not be permitted.
The minimum gap between closures shall be 3 kilometers and lane closures shall not
be allowed simultaneously on opposing carriageways within such 3 km zones.
MPRDC
Section 6
Page 116
The Contractor shall take due precautions during lane closures in terms of traffic
management and safety. Contractor shall be required to provide flagmen at either
end of the lane closure during the activity and also use traffic cones and delineators
as necessary to streamline traffic flow and help maintain safety for road user in the
area.
The road signage, barricading, lighting, diversions, merging and other instruments of
lane closure shall be made of steel sheets and all the background letters and
symbols shall be of engineering grade retro-reflective material. The basic minimum
clearance of these road signs from the road surface shall be 800 mm

In addition to the lane closure procedures, the activity of renewal and/or
strengthening shall not be carried out in a continuous length of more than 1 km so
that the closure of the lane is not more than 2 days. In case Lane closures are
required for longer than 2 days, prior permission shall be sought from the Engineer
by providing adequate supporting information and reasons for such necessary
closure.
The aforementioned minimum principles and requirements of Lane Closure may be enhanced
or strengthened as deemed fit by the Contractor to ensure additional safety for the road users

Basic Requirement
Breakdown / Crane Vehicles are required in order to remove damaged, broken down, or
otherwise inoperative, motorized and non-motorised vehicles from within the limits of the main
carriageway and hard shoulders, where they might otherwise cause a hazard or obstruction to
other road users in pursuit of a safe and trouble free journey.
The Contractor is not required to provide a towing service beyond the limits of the highway, and
should not become involved in any third party requests for assistance in towing vehicles beyond
that point, eg to a garage, in so far as this might involve the use of towing / breakdown vehicles
The Contractor also is not required to provide breakdown or recovery assistance to vehicles
which require recovery from a level other than that of the highway (eg, from the bottom of an
embankment)
MPRDC
Section 6
Page 127
Provision
The Contractor should arrange for sufficient breakdown vehicles to be made available, to permit
him to arrange a response to a call for such towing assistance, from either the Police or the
Highway Control Centre, within 60 minutes of that call in relation to a car, jeep or van, or within
two hours for heavier vehicles.
The Contractor is to keep records of all activity with regard to assistance rendered under this
Specification clause, noting the Time of Notification (call out), the nature of the problem found
on arrival at the vehicle, the action taken, and the time at which the vehicle was removed from
the Highway.
Performance / Service Quality Levels
Service Quality Levels will be met by the Contractor if it can be shown from records of the
Breakdown Service, the Control Centre and Police that all calls for towing of vehicles received a
response within the following time limit from the notice of breakdown
Cars, Jeeps, Vans - 60 minutes;
Others (Goods and Passenger) - 2 hour;
and that action was taken within such a period of time in excess of 95% of the cases unless, in
the opinion of the Engineer, exceptional weather conditions made such a response impractical.
Measurement and detection
Engineer, on receipt of information about the vehicle breakdown, may depute his personnels to
breakdown site to verify from the victims whether they are provided the service as per expected
service levels stipulated above or not. Carrying out above verification checks is left solely on
the discretion of the Engineer and he may select any particular incident for verification on
random basis.
Any deviation from expected service quality levels will be recorded by Engineer for further
action. For the purpose of assessing compliance under Sub-clause B.3.3.2, the Engineer will
exercise his judgment on the basis of his comparison.

incidents, for the purpose of conveying to hospital any person or persons who has / have been
injured on the road, and to maintain the condition of any such person by the administration of
First Aid in the first instance. No financial charges are to be levied against either the accident
victim(s), or their families, for the provision of this service.
In order to provide the required service, the contractor should either a) contract with local
ambulance service providers, such as nursing homes and hospitals, so that ambulances may
be provided on a call out basis, in order that a vehicle with paramedic support can be
guaranteed to be able to reach the accident / incident site and provide relief to injured within 30
minutes of such notification.
MPRDC
Section 6
Page 128
Furthermore, assistance must be rendered and any injured party be transported to a hospital
which is capable of providing treatment for accident victims, within a further 30 minutes. The
Contractor needs to have already identified a sufficient number of hospitals, which are
sufficiently equipped, resourced, and manned by competent staff, to be able to provide
appropriate treatment to accident victims, so that the field coordinator may respond quickly to
any emergency and achieve the required response times.
The Contractor is to keep records of all activity with regard to assistance rendered under this
Specification clause, noting the Time of Notification (call out) of the ambulance, the arrival time
at the accident site, nature of the injuries of the accident victims, details of any first aid
administered, and the time of departure to, and arrival at, the hospital.
The required level of service will be provided when it is clear from records of the Control
Centre, Police, the Contractor, etc., that the response to each call out for an ambulance service
is such that the arrival of the ambulance vehicle at the accident / incident site was within 15
minutes of notification in 95% of cases, but IN NO CASE later than 30 minutes after notification,
and that, furthermore, assistance was rendered and any injured party transported to hospital
within a further 30 minutes, again in 95% of cases.
Engineer, on receipt of information about the accident may depute his personnels to accident
site or hospital (as the case may be) to verify from the victims whether they are provided with
the service in accordance with service quality levels as mentioned above in the clause.
Carrying out above verification checks is left solely on the discretion of the Engineer and he
may select any particular incident for verification on random basis.
Any deviation from expected service quality levels will be recorded by Engineer for further
action. For the purpose of assessing compliance under Sub-clause B.3.3.2, the Engineer will
exercise his judgment on the basis of his comparison.

The Engineer, upon initial condition survey as per clause 1.3 of GCC issue an order to carry
out the improvement works. The order will specify the type of works, their estimated quantities
and the time allowed for their execution.
B.2.5 Emergency Works
The Contractor will carry out Emergency Works on the Engineers instruction only, as all items
are provisional quantities to provide repairs and/or new items not existing at the time of bidding.
The Initial Condition Survey will record encroachments, abandoned vehicles and building
materials etc. The Engineer will determine if obstructions are to be removed by the local
authorities or by payment to the Contractor under Schedule 3 or Day works.
B.2.5.1 Definition of Unforeseen Natural Phenomena
Emergency Works are designed to repair those damages to the roads under contract, which
are caused directly by unforeseen natural phenomena with imponderable consequences
occurring either in the area of the roads or elsewhere, but with a direct impact on the roads.
Unforeseen Natural Phenomena are defined as (i) rainfalls and winds of an extraordinary
intensity and/or duration, (ii) major landslides which have their origin outside the right-of-way of
the road, (iii) floods during which water levels rise above a certain maximum, (iv) earthquakes
above a certain intensity, etc. This must exclude normal damages, such as trees falling on the
road, minor erosions of the road and embankments, and damages caused by traffic accidents;
those must be remedied by the Contractor as a part of his normal obligations under the
contract.]
B.2.5.2 Procedure for Requesting Emergency Works
If damages clearly caused by Unforeseen Natural Phenomena result in a reduction of service
quality levels below the normal threshold values specified in this contract, the Contractor may
make a formal request to the Engineer to carry out Emergency Works designed specifically to
remedy those damages. If the Contractor decides to make a request for Emergency Works, he
must (i) immediately inform the Engineer of his intention to do so, by telephone, radio or other
means, (ii) document the circumstances of the Force Major event and the damages caused,
through photographs, video and other suitable means, (iii) prepare a written request, stating the
type of works he intends to carry out, their exact location and the estimated quantities and
costs, including photographic documentation. In any case, a request for Emergency Works
must be made immediately after the Contractor gains knowledge of the existence of damages
caused by Unforeseen Natural Phenomena.
The Engineer, upon receipt of the request and not later than 24 hours thereafter, will evaluate
the request made by the Contractor based on a site visit, and issue an order to carry out the
Emergency Works. The order will specify the type of works, their estimated quantities, the
remuneration to be paid to the Contractor, and the time allowed for their execution.
B.2.5.3 Provision for Emergency Works
The total contract amount will include a fixed Provisional Sum for Emergency Works during the
contract period (which may be estimated somewhere between 5 and 25 percent of the total
contract amount.] The financial bids to be submitted by the bidders shall exclude the amount of
the provision.
MPRDC
Section 6
Page 130
B.2.5.4 Obligations of Contractor during Emergencies and Emergency Works

Given the nature of this contract and the fact that Emergency Works are remunerated
separately, the Contractor will, during the execution of Emergency Works, continue to be
responsible for assuring the normal service quality levels on all roads included in the contract.
In particular, the Contractor will do everything reasonably possible in order to ensure the normal
use of all the roads under contract, including the sections affected by emergencies.
If road traffic has been interrupted because of an emergency, the Contractor will take the
measures necessary (i) to reopen the road to traffic in the shortest time possible, and (ii)
maintain the road open during emergency works, without being entitled to a specific
compensation for those measures. This is valid specifically for trees or other objects, which
may have fallen on the road, damage to access ramps to bridges, erosion of embankments,
collapse of slopes, traffic accidents, flooding, etc.
B.2.5.5 Minor Repairs Made Necessary by Unforeseen Natural Phenomena
If the works necessary to remedy damages caused by a Unforeseen Natural Phenomena are
below certain threshold values, the Contractor will carry out those works as part of his normal
obligations and without having the right to invoke the provision of the contract concerning
emergencies and the remuneration of emergency works. In these cases the consent of the
Engineer is not needed and the Contractor will simply carry out the works on his own initiative.
He will nevertheless inform the Engineer of the damages occurred and the remedial measures
taken.
The threshold values for minor repairs are as shown in the table below:

Measuring compliance with Service Quality Levels
B.3.1
General
B.3.1.1 Engineers Inspection of Service Quality Levels

For the purpose of fulfilling the terms of this Contract, and in order to evaluate the compliance
by the Contractor with the various Service Quality levels, for the provision of Routine
Maintenance Works and Services, and User and Operational Services, the Employer / Engineer
shall utilize the following procedure and methodology to inspect and record the conformity of
the Works and Services provided on a lump sum basis.
MPRDC
Section 6
Page 131
Except where detailed procedures and methods of inspections of Service Quality Level have
been spelt out in this Part B of the Specification, or elsewhere, the Engineer may rely upon
inspection of records, as well as visual inspection of site conditions, including measurement of
physical properties of the highway, to record and evaluate the Contractors compliance with the
designated Service Quality Levels which are set out in Parts B.1 and B.2 of the Specification.
During each month, the Engineer will undertake a number of Formal and Informal Inspections
of the Contractors work and provision of services. Informal inspections (sub clause B.3.1.2) are
part of the Engineers responsibility for assisting in the day-to-day performance of the
Contractor. Formal Inspections (sub clause B.3.2) and Assessments (sub clause B.3.3) are to
be carried out once a month, jointly with the Contractor, as part of the process of certification for
payment of works and services.
B.3.1.2 Informal Routine Inspections of Service Quality Levels
As part of the general responsibility delegated to him by the Employer, for verifying the Service
Quality levels, the Engineer may carry out random or programmed, but informal and routine,
inspections of the Service Quality Levels which are set out in Sub Clauses B.1 and B.2 of the
Specification. He may do so on his own initiative, at any time and anywhere on the roads
included in the contract. The Engineer will use his own means for those inspections, or require
a third party audit as stated in Sub Clause B.1.3.
If the Engineer either a) detects any road sections where the service quality criteria are not met,
or b) becomes aware that the Contractor is not adequately providing the User and Operation
Services, then he shall be obliged to inform the Contractor within 24 hours, in writing, in order to
enable the Contractor to take remedial action, in accordance with the response times indicated
elsewhere in the Contract.
The results of informal inspections, on their own, may not be used by the Engineer for the
purposes of correcting the Contractors Monthly Statements, applying reduction in certification
of Invoice payments, or imposing penalties or liquidated damages, as the case maybe.
However, all instances of non-compliance will be recorded and, in the event of protracted noncompliance as described in sub clause B.4.3, may be considered as contributing to a case for
Termination of the Contract under Clause 59 of the GCC
B.3.2
Procedure of Formal Inspection for Routine Maintenance Works
B.3.2.1 Purpose of Formal Inspections

The main purpose of the formal inspections is to enable the Engineer to verify the information
presented in the Contractors Monthly Report (including Compliance Report) and Monthly
Statement and Invoice, by comparison with actual measurements taken at various locations on
the Highway, to ensure that compliance with Service Quality levels is being met, and to make
adjustments to the Interim Payment Certificate as necessary.
Formal inspections will be scheduled in advance and carried out jointly by the Contractor and
the Engineer, under the supervision of the latter.
B.3.2.2 Timing of Inspection
The Engineer will notify the Contractor of his intention to carry out a formal inspection, giving at
least 48 hours notice, and indicating the precise limits of the section to be inspected (see
B.3.2.3), together with the exact date, time and location where the formal inspection is to begin.
The Contractor is obliged to be present at the date, time and location specified by the Engineer,
himself providing the physical means of inspection, as indicated in Para B.3.2.4.
Formal inspections will normally, but not necessarily, be scheduled to begin within five (5) days
after the presentation of the monthly statement by the Contractor to the Engineer; The Joint
MPRDC
Section 6
Page 132
inspections will be carried out and observations recorded in the standard tables, as provided. in
Annexure - 1.
B.3.2.3 Extent of Inspection
Regular monthly formal inspections (excluding follow-up visits) shall cover a sample of at least
twenty five percent (25 %) of each of the Highway Corridor sections under the Contract, so that
the whole of the Highway Corridor shall be inspected every four months, and the Engineer shall
select this sample section, on a random basis, to be representative of the whole project for that
month. However, during the course of the Contract, the Engineer may increase the total length
of the road sections to be inspected, in particular if numerous cases of non-compliance have
been recorded in earlier inspections.
Observations made on the sample inspection section shall be considered to be representative
of the whole of the highway under the Contract, and non-compliance with any service quality
level, observed on the sample inspected section, shall be considered as if the whole of the
highway is non-compliant in that respect. Similarly, a sample section, which is shown to be
compliant, shall be taken to indicate that the whole Highway is compliant.
B.3.2.4 Means Used for Inspection
During formal inspections, the Contractors Self-control Unit will work in close collaboration with
the Engineer. The Contractor will provide the physical and manpower resources needed for the
inspection; and may be similar to those normally used by the Self-control Unit for the
Contractors continuous self-evaluation of the Works and Services, in particular:
a)
Vehicles of the type most typically used by road users but having seating
and windows so arranged and configured as to permit both sideways and
rear facing inspection to take place during the inspection tour.
b)
Qualified support staff, normally including, as a minimum, the qualified
staff of the Self-control Unit, plus assistants as necessary.
c)
All equipment, tools and instruments needed to undertake the inspection.
B.3.2.5 Inspection Memorandum
During the formal inspection, in addition to recording the information in the standard tables, the
Engineer shall also prepare a brief Memorandum describing (i) the general circumstances of
the site visit, including date, road sections visited, persons present, etc., (ii) the nature and
location of any non-compliance which may have been detected, and (iii) the time granted by the
Engineer to the Contractor to remedy the detected defects (Period of Grace).
The Inspection Memorandum is to be copied to the Contractor within 24 hours of the end of the
Inspection.
B.3.2.6 Period of Grace and Follow Up Inspection
For each individual case of non-compliance, the Engineer will give the Contractor the
opportunity to remedy the cause of the non-compliance, within a Period of Grace based on the
normal response times given in Sub Part B.2, but in no cases later than 7 days from the date of
such inspection, after which time a formal Follow-Up Inspection will be fixed and made by the
Engineer, jointly with the Contractor, in order to verify that the Contractor has indeed remedied
the cause of non-compliance.
A Follow-up memorandum, in the form of an Appendix to the Inspection Memorandum (subSub-clause B.3.2.4), should be prepared by the Engineer and copied to the Contractor within
24 hours of the Follow-up Inspection.
MPRDC
Section 6
Page 133
B.3.3
Certification for Payment of Invoice
Based on the outcome of the formal inspection, as recorded in the Inspection Memorandum,
and any subsequent Follow Up Inspections and Memoranda, and the monthly service
assessment, as recorded in the Service Compliance Memorandum, the Engineer will
immediately correct any errors or misrepresentations in the Contractors Monthly Report and
Monthly Statement, and make adjustment to the Contractors Invoice, in line with any instances
of non-compliance which have not been remedied within the Period of Grace, in accordance
with the procedure set forth in Sub - Clause B.4.1 of this Contract,
B.3.4 Initial Grace Period for achieving Service Quality Levels
In order to respect the Contractors initial mobilization period, the Contractor will be allowed a
grace period of 30 days from the Commencement Date, during which period the Contactor will
not be penalized for failing to achieve full compliance with the Service Quality levels. However,
the following limitations will apply to the stated grace period.
B.4
a.
Existing potholes shall all be repaired within 10 days of commencement date
b.
Existing damaged guardrails shall be repaired within 15 days of the date of

commencement.
c.
The fundamentals of the Incident Management System shall be in operation

immediately upon commencement of the Contract.
Performance-Based Variations to Payment Certification
B.4.1 Certification of Payment Items

In accordance with Clause 42 of the GCC, payments will not be certified for any item of work or
service, which, following the Inspection and Assessment Procedures outlined in Sub-Clauses
B.3.2 and B.3.3 of this Specification, is deemed to be non-compliant with respect to Service
Quality Levels requirements.
B.4.2 Determination of Payment Reductions
B.4.2.1 Routine Maintenance
B.4.2.2 Measurement and Payment of Routine Maintenance:
Payment shall include provision for all costs associated with the management, administration,
plant, equipment, labour and materials in keeping all items within the specified Service Quality
levels as indicated in Schedule B 4.
Payment shall be as a Lump Sum in equal monthly payments over the Contract period. These
payments are subject to penalties made on the Contractor for non-compliance.
Non-Compliance fractions are taken from the Standard Reporting Forms as per Annex.1 This
form will then show the percentage of Non-Compliance for item group for each 5km section and
the result of this form will be inserted in the Evaluation of Service Level Form (Annex 2) to get
coefficient of non-compliance for the section. The overall coefficient of non-compliance for the
road contract in a particular month is determined by calculating the simple average of the
coefficients of non- compliance of all 5km test sections of that month determined by Engineer
for the road concerned. So that total monthly formal inspection shall cover 25% of highway
corridor under this contract.
MPRDC
Section 6
Page 134
B.4.2.3 Procedures for Inspection

The formal inspections of service quality levels on paved roads will be carried out following the
procedures presented in this section. General aspects of the road are the aspects which can be
evaluated by simple means, such as visual inspections and simple measurements which do not
require sophisticated equipment. General aspects include the pavement, shoulders, structures,
drainage system, right-of-way and road safety aspects/signaling. However, road roughness and
pavement deflection are excluded. The formal monthly inspection of general aspects for each
road (or road section) included in the contract is carried out based on test sections of five (5)
km each. The location of the test sections is determined by the Engineer, with the only
restriction that it must vary from month to month. Each five-km test section is subdivided into
ten (10) segments of 500 meters each. The inspection process shall determine, for each
segment of 500 meters, if non-compliance exists for any of the aspects to be verified
(pavements, shoulders, structures, drainage system, right-of-way and road safety
aspects/signaling).
B.4.2.4 Determination of Payment Reductions
The results of each formal inspection of the service quality levels and other performance criteria
will be recorded by the Engineer in the form of a Memorandum. The Memorandum will state the
type and location of any non-compliance detected, in particular those non-compliances already
shown in the standard tables provided by the Contractor as part of his monthly statement. For
each individual case of non-compliance, the Engineer will determine a date by which the
Contractor must have completed the necessary measures in order to remedy the cause of the
non-compliance. A follow-up site visit is therefore necessary at the date fixed by the Engineer,
or soon thereafter, in order to verify that the Contractor has indeed remedied the cause of noncompliance.
If at the date indicated in the Memorandum, the Contractor has not remedied the cause for noncompliance, independent of the reason given by the him for his failure to do so, the Contractor
is subject to Payment Reductions in accordance with the relevant clauses of the GCC.
Payment Reductions are variable over time. If the Contractor fails to remedy a cause of noncompliance for which a payment reduction has already been applied, the amount of the
payment reduction increases month by month for that particular cause of non-compliance,
without a ceiling being applied, until compliance is established.
The calculation of the amounts of payment reductions, and the formula for their adjustment over
time, is to be based on the following rules:
The unit rates of payment reductions (PRu) are applicable during the first 30 days of noncompliance.
If a non-compliance has not been remedied within thirty days, liquidated damages for periods
beyond 30 days are calculated based on the following formula:
PR = 2n PRu
Considering:
J = number of days of non-compliance, and
J 1
n=
rounded up to full number (without decimals)
30
If, following the issue of the Inspection Memorandum for a particular month, the Contractor fails
within any Period of Grace to remedy the cause of any non-compliance with the Service Quality
levels, as determined during the Follow-up Inspection, irrespective of any reason given by the
him for such failure to do so, the Engineer will decline to certify payment for that particular noncompliant item(s) of work, for the whole extent of the Highway, in pursuance of Sub Clause
MPRDC
Section 6
Page 135
B.4.2.5 Measurement and Payment of Initial Rehabilitation Works: Schedule 1

The Rehabilitation Works will be priced through a schedule of rates amount included in the
Contract Price. The Contractor will invoice Rehabilitation Works in Monthly Statements and in
accordance with the Rehabilitation Works actually carried out as stated in the Schedule of
Prices.
Payment under this item will include full compensation for all labour, plant, and materials used
in meeting the specified requirements. Failure to carryout the works in the time specified will
result in the Contractor being liable for liquidated damages.
B.4.2.6 Measurement and Payment of Improvement Works: Schedule 2
The Improvement Works will be remunerated based on the prices shown in Schedule 2. The
Contractor will invoice Improvement Works as part of his Monthly Statements and in
accordance with the Improvement Works actually carried out as stated in the Schedule of
Prices.
Payment under this item will include full compensation for all labour, and materials used in
meeting the specified requirements. Failure to carryout the works in the time specified will result
in the Contractor being liable for liquidated damages.
B.4.2.7 No Retrospective Certification
Once the Engineer has declined to certify monthly payment for non-compliant items of work or
service, the Contractor shall not claim retrospective certification of payment for that particular
month, even when the Contractor subsequently does achieve compliance.
B.4.3 Protracted Failure to Comply
In the situation where, on two successive months, the Contractor has failed to achieve the
required Service Quality Level, for any item of work or service, the Engineer will have the right
to employ either a third party contractor, or a State Organisation, to rectify the non-compliant
work or to provide the necessary service. The costs of such activity will be charged to the
Contractor and deducted from the Invoice for the particular month.
The third party contractor will be, or will have been, appointed in accordance with the
Employers standard procedures for procurement of services, based on open competition.
Any consistent and repeated instances of the Contractor, failing to comply with the contractual
requirements for maintaining Service Quality Levels, will be recorded and may be considered
as contributing to a case for Termination of the Contract under Clause 59 of the GCC.
B.4.4 Repair of accident damaged assets
In the event of accident damage to any fixed, semi-fixed or movable asset on the site, the
assets shall be repaired, rebuilt or replaced by the contractor within a reasonable time period,
so that the assets shall be substantially in the same condition as they were prior to the damage.
Unless the damage has been caused due to negligence by the contractor, the contractor shall
be entitled for reimbursement of the cost of such repairs at mutually agreed rates.
