volume requiring special treatments either presently or in future shall be identified.
4.9.5. Axle Load Surveys
1. Axle load surveys in both directions shall be carried out at suitable location(s) in the
project roads tretchonarandom sample bas is normally for trucks only (both empty and
loaded trucks) for 2 normal days -(24hours) at special count stations to be finalized in
consultation with RCD Bihar. However ,a few buses may be weighed in order to get an
idea about their loading behavior.While selecting the location(s) of axle load survey
station(s) ,the locations of existing bridges with load restrictions,if any,should be taken
into account and such sites should be avoided.
2. Axle load surveys shall normally be done using axle load pads or other sophisticated
45
instruments. The location(s) of count station(s) and the survey methodology including the
data formats and the instrument type to be used shall be finalized before taking up the
axle load surveys

that have used the highway in the past in order to assess the suitability of existing bridges
to carry such loads.
4.9.6. Speed-Delay Surveys
The Consultants shall carry out appropriate field studies such as moving car survey to
determine running speed and journey speed. The data should be analyzed to identify
sections with typical traffic flow problems and congestion. The objective of the survey

through traffic and traffic safety. These measures would include the provision of
bypasses,under-passes,fly-overs, interchanges,grade-separated intersections and service
roads.
4.9.7 Pedestrian/ animal cross traffic surveys:
These may be conducted to determine if provision of viaduct for pedestrians/animals is

surveys should be analysed to assess requirements for present and future development of
truck terminals at suitable locations enroute.
4.10. Traffic Demand Estimates
1. The consultants shall make traffic demand estimates and establish possible traffic growth
rates in respect of all categories of vehicles,taking into account the past trends,annual
population and real per capita growth rate, elasticity of transport demand in relation to
income and estimated annual production increase.The other aspects including socio-
economic development plans and the land use patterns of the region having impact on the
traffic growth, the projections of vehicle manufacturing industry in the
country,development plans for the other modes of transport, O-D and commodity
movement behavior should also be taken into account while working out the traffic demand
estimates.
46
2. The values of elasticity of transport demand shall be based on the prevailing practices i n
the country. The Consultants shall give complete background including references for
selecting the value of transport demand elasticity.
3. It is envisaged that the project road sections covered under this TOR would be completed
and opened to traffic after 3years.The traffic demand estimates shall be done for a further
period of 30 years from completion of two/four lane.The demand estimates shall be done
assuming three scenarios, namely,optimistic,pessimistic and most likely traffic growth.The
growth factors shall be worked out for five-yearly intervals.
4. Traffic projections should be based on sound and proven forecasting techniques.In case
traffic demand estimated is to be made on the basis of a model,the application of the model
in the similar situation with the validation of the results should be established. The traffic
projections should also bring out the possible impact of implementation of any competing
facility in the near future. The demand estimates should also take into account the freight
and passenger traffic along the major corridors that may interconnect with the project.
Impact of toll charges on the traffic estimates should be estimated.
5. The methodology for traffic demand estimates described in the preceding paragraphs isfor
normal traffic only. In addition to the estimates for normal traffic,the Consultants shall also
workout the estimates for generated, induced and diverted traffic.
6. The traffic forecasts shall also be made for both diverted and generated traffic.
7. Over all traffic forecast thus made shall form the basis for the design of each pavement type

maps,catchment area maps,contourplans,flood flow data and seismological data and other
available relevant information collected by them concerning the existing alignment.
Consultant himself has to arrange the required maps and the information needed by him
from the potential sources.Consultant should make efforts form inimizing land
acquisition.
2. The detailed ground reconnaissance may be taken up immediately after the study of maps
and other data.The primary tasks to be accomplished during the reconnaissance surveys
include;
i. topographical features of the area;
ii. typical physical features along the existing alignment within and outside

SUPPLEMENT-III
S
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT FOR SAFETY AUDIT
U
The use of checklists is highly recommended as they provide a useful “aide memoire” for
theaudit team to checkthat no important safety aspects are being overlooked. They also give to
theproject manager and the designengineer a sense of understanding of the place of safety audit
inthe design process. The following lists have beendrawn up based on the experience
ofundertaking systematic safety audit procedures overseas. This experienceindicates that
extensivelists of technical details has encouraged their use as “tick” sheets without sufficient
thoughtbeing given to the processes behind the actions. Accordingly, the checklists provide
guidelineson the principalissues that need to be examined during the course of the safety audits.
Stage F-During Feasibility Study

The audit team should review the proposed design from a road safety perspective and heck the
followingaspects
CONTENTS ITEMS
Aspects to be checked A. Safety and operational implications of proposed alignment

and junction strategy with particular references to expected

consultant before completion of the job, he shall be barred for a period of 6 months to 24
months from being engaged as a team member of any other consultant working (or to be
appointed) for any other MORT&H /NHAI/ IAHE/NHIDCL / State PWD projects.

qualification is not available, replacement with lower qualifications than the
originally approved may be accepted with reduction in remuneration as per the
procedure prescribed below. This kind of relaxation shall however, be limited to
replacement of 2 key personnel only in one consultancy contract package.
i) The new proposed personnel as a replacement has to be evaluated as per the criteria fixed at
the time of evaluation of original proposal and marks/rating and then:
-If the original personnel (included in the original proposal based on which the contract was
awarded) is to be replaced at the instruction of MORT&H /RCD Bihar and the new
proposed personnel is having less qualification/ experience i.e marks/rating (but fulfilling the
minimum requirement as per TOR), his remuneration would be reduced by 15% over and
above the stipulated
174
conditions in the contract because of less qualified personnel
-If the original personnel (included in Contract Agreement) is to be replaced by the Consulting
firm and the new proposed personnel is having less qualification/ experience (marks/rating),
then his remuneration would be decreased proportionally in comparison to the marks of the
original personnel. This will also take into account the contract condition and if the proposed
reduction is less than that stipulated in contract condition, it would be as per the
contract provision.
It will be ensured that the new proposed personnel should score at least 75% of the marks of
the originally approved key personnel. Both the Consulting firm and the proposed personnel
should give the undertaking in the format available in Form VII of Appendix II along with the
replacement CV.
ii) The CV should be signed by personnel and the consulting firm in every page. If the CV is
found incorrect at later date, the personnel accepted would be removed from the assignment
and debarred from further MORT&H /NHAI/ IAHE/NHIDCL / State PWD works for an
appropriate period to be decided by MORT&H /RCD Bihar and the new proposed
personnel in place of removed personnel would be paid 15% less salary than the original
personnel. 15% reduction in the salary will be imposed as penalty for submitting the incorrect
