Horizontal alignment is very poor in most of the sections and where crest curves exist
with steep gradient, horizontal curves overlap with vertical curves resulting in poor
visibility and making it very unsafe for the road users.
The embankment height varies from 0.5 m to 1.5 m and the soft shoulder is poor at many
locations with erosion/breaching of side slopes.
In general, the existing alignment of the project road runs mostly in straight alignment
with more horizontal curves of easy curvature at few locations, which require geometric
improvements for a design speed of 100 kmph. The existing gradient of the project road is
within acceptable standards as per IRC:73. Except at few locations the vertical curvs has
to be improved as per the standards.

3.3.2 Climate
The climate is dry and healthy. The maximum summer temperature is around 41.6 °C
(106.9 °F) while the minimum is 25 °C (77 °F). The maximum winter temperature is
usually around 23.6 °C (74.5 °F) and the minimum is 7.9 °C (46.2 °F). The average
rainfall is 209.5 millimetres (8.25 in).

3.3.3 Geographical position

The project stretch is located between 26°.4’ –28°.23' North parallel and 69°.20'-72°.42'
east meridians. It lies in the Thar Desert and it is bounded on the northeast by Bikaner
District, on the east by Jodhpur District, on the south by Barmer District, and on the west
and north by Pakistan.

3.3.4 Terrain and Land use

This project road traverses in plain and rolling terrain passing through rural areas as well
as many intermittent semi-urban settlements the entire stretch is passing through desert
area. In rural areas the land use on both sides is mostly barren and at very few locations
agricultural land and built-up areas were found. There are a few manmade ponds located
close to the road as a water pods for the cattles. The abutting land use in the built-up areas
is predominantly of residential area.

Barren Land Next to Road Existing Road - Rolling Terrain

3.4 Right of Way

No ROW pillars exist on site and it is understood from consultation that the land is under
government of Border Roads Organization.
The exact EROW details shall be confirmed from the village maps in the next stage of
works.
The towns of Myajlar, LunarandTanot have built-up areas next to existing road and may
need removal of encroachments.

This existing Right of Way is very less when compared to the needed right of way of
60.00m, as demanded by the NHAI circular. The existing ROW needs to be ascertained
before arriving the requirement of Land Acquisition for widening to 2-lane with paved
shoulder on both sides.

3.5 Carriageway width

The width of the road varies between 3.5m and 3.75m and is hardly sufficient for passing
of two vehicles simultaneously. Passing bays exists on majority of project section at
discrete intervals.
However, in some of the stretches where crest curve exists on steep gradients the existing
carriageway width ceases to intermediatelane width of 5.5 m.
Geometric improvements and widening to two lane is currently under progress in Tanot –
Kishangarh section.

The towns of Myajlar, Lunarand Tanot have built-up areas next to existing road and may
need removal of encroachments. The existing ROW needs to be ascertained before
arrivingthe requirement of Land Acquisition for widening to 2-lane with paved shoulder
on both sides.

3.15 Major Constraints / Issues

The following are the major constraints for the proposed improvement of the project road:
• Gas Pipe Line runs parallel to the existing road in Asutar – Ghotaru section of
the project road.
• Existing Road passes through Desert National Park (DNP) where possibility
of widening the road is to be discussed with the concerned authorities.
• Steel Tube Water Pipe Line runs parallel to the existing road.
• The existing road needs to be improved considerably and may require cutting
of the OGL or require filling over the existing road. The Slope Stability
measures are crucial.
• Facilities required from Defence and Border Security need discussions with
the concerned.
• To facilitate the movement of existing traffic, the widening proposals may
augment for one side widening. Existing ROW details are crucial.
• It is observed that the existing road slopes are being damaged due to rains.
May require effective drainage and CD structures for defined out fall
locations and effective disperse water without causing damage to the existing
road.

CHAPTER - 4
DETAILED METHODOLOGY PROPOSED FOR PROJECT PREPARATION

4.1 Consultant’s approach & methodology

After an in-depth appraisal of the TOR, a sequential, systematic and comprehensive
methodology was developed for achieving realistic and technically sound results specific
to and in conformity with the Terms of Reference. This chapter highlights the
Consultants’ Approach and Methodology to carry out the consultancy services for the
preparation of a Feasibility Study and Detailed Project Report (DPR). Under the broad
framework of the Terms of Reference, the Consultants’ approach to the Feasibility Study
and DPR are based on experience in similar kinds of projects in India and other countries.
While developing the methodology, the main emphasis has been to (i) innovativeness of
the Approach and Methodology; and (ii) suitability of proposed methodology. In order to
achieve the objectives of the Study, the Consultants propose to carry out the effort in a
phased manner, which is logically sequenced as per the various activities presented in
TOR. All tasks pertaining to the Feasibility Study and Detailed Project Report
preparation have been addressed respective sections.

4.2 Engineering surveys & investigations

The following engineering surveys &investigations shall be carried out for developing the
project:

Methodology for carrying out the above mentioned survey and investigations is explained
in detail in the subsequent sections.

4.3 Data formats

The formats for carrying out various types of surveys have been derived from IRC:SP:19
-2001 and as per the guidelines of MoRT&H. The proforma for data collection and
various field surveys are enclosed in Chapter 10.

4.4 Reconnaissance Survey

A detailed reconnaissance supplemented by thorough and in-depth visual investigations
have already been carried out along the project road and completed which was aimed at a
physical appreciation of the project road. The findings of the reconnaissance survey are
presented in the form of linear plans.
4.5 Road inventory

The condition of the project roads will be visually inspected with a view to broadly
classifying the road conditions and preparing a suitable road inventory. Preliminary
reconnaissance survey will be followed by road inventory surveys in order to capture the
overall conditions of the roads. The data to be collected by field inspection will inter-alia
cover the following aspects:

• Terrain (flat, rolling etc.)

• Abutting land-use (agricultural, commercial, forest, residential etc.)
• Carriageway (width, surfacing type)

• Shoulder (width, composition, condition)

• Subgrade / local soil type
• Road geometry (horizontal and vertical alignment / works)
• Location of water bodies
• Embankment (height and condition)
• Traffic scenario
• Land width (ROW)
• Temporary or permanent structures within ROW
• Bridges, ROB’s, Culverts and other structures
• Roadside arboriculture
• Existing utility within ROW
• General drainage condition
• Posted speed

The data will be collected within the existing ROW or boundary lines whichever is more
for each of the project road so that a proper widening scheme could be prepared.

Through condition survey, existing condition of pavement, embankment, shoulder and

drainage will be studied and the observed data will be recorded. Pavement condition
survey will be carried out visually and the presence of various distresses viz. ravelling,
cracking, rutting, potholing, upheaving and depression etc., will be noted. Pavement
condition will result into the division of entire project road into homogeneous sections for
the purpose of pavement treatment design. Embankment and shoulder condition survey
will reveal the requirement of maintenance and help in framing strategy on the slope
stabilization measures.

Drainage condition survey is the most important among all condition surveys as most of
the road failures are due to poor drainage condition. A complete drainage report will be
prepared containing the directions of existing flow lines, runoff pattern, collection
network and presence of outfalls. Each cross drainage structures will be inspected for its
contribution to the drainage network. The requirement of addition or may be deletion due
to redundancy of structures will be ascertained. Local inquires will be made for the
submergence area, its extent and flooding frequency. A special and comprehensive survey

will be carried out for such areas. Cut section and hill strata will be examined for their
slope erodability.

4.6 Topographic survey

A detailed topographic survey will be carried out along the proposed alignment using
Differential Global Position System (DGPS), Total Station and Auto Level to collect
sufficient topographic information to prepare a detailed digital terrain model – maps
showing existing physical features and location reference along the alignment. A pair of
inter-visible primary control stations will be installed at intervals not more than 5 km
using DGPS. The entire survey coordinate system will be based on the Global coordinate
system, such as UTM/WGS 84. The control stations established during feasibility study
will be re-established and will be utilised if suitable. Secondary control station points will
be installed at an interval not exceeding 250m. A traversing survey will be carried out
using total station and auto level for transferring precise northing, easting and altitudes.
Two rounds of angle measurements will be taken on both left and right face. The angle
spread between observed round will not be more than 5 sec. The secondary control
stations will be fixed by closed traverse and the traverse corrections will be applied.
a) Survey Corridor
The survey corridor will extend 30m on either side of the proposed centre line of the
carriageway or land boundary whichever is more. Where building lines exist in urban
section the survey corridor will be carried out up to first building line end as there
may be problems in carrying out the same. Necessary assistance from local NHAI
office in this regard will be sought during the course of survey.
b) Long Sections
In general, long section will be carried out along the centreline of existing road at 25
m interval. Closer intervals as directed by the supervisor will be adopted where there
is any change in vertical profile and at location of curve points, small streams and
intersections.

c) Cross-Sections

• Cross-sections will be taken at 50 m interval covering full extent of survey corridor

on both sides from the centreline of the existing carriageway. At the horizontal curve
locations cross-sections will be taken at 20 m or closer interval.

• At other crossroad locations, cross-sections of crossroads will be taken at 25 m

intervals up to 15 m from centreline or up to ROW of crossroad, whichever is
greater. The cross-sections will be carried up to a minimum length of 100 m on either
side of the project road centreline.

• At feasibility stage cross sections at every 200m interval may be taken.

The details that will be collected by topographic survey in detail will include (1) trees
with girth greater than 0.3m, electrical poles, telephone lines, OFC lines, water / oil / gas
pipe lines, manholes; (2) building lines, type of buildings (shops or houses), Right of Way
pillars if available at site; (3) existing centreline, carriageway edges and shoulder edges
will be recorded at an interval not exceeding 25 m; (4) location of existing bus stops,
passenger shelters, traffic islands, median, rotaries, traffic signs & signals, kilometre
stones, police chowkis within ROW; (5) special emphasis will be laid in identifying all
religious places; (6) roadside drains clearly identifying the type and direction of flow; and
(7) roadside land use including eating places, hospitals, fuel stations, public telephone
booths, schools and colleges. Care shall be taken in carrying out the topographic survey
for the structural components to adhere to the requirements set in IRC:SP:13-2004
“Guidelines for the Design of Small Bridges and Culverts (First Revision)”, IRC:5-2015
“Standard Specifications and Code of Practice for Road Bridges, Section I – General
Features of Design (Seventh Revision)” and IRC:SP:50-2013 “Guidelines on Urban
Drainage”.

The surveyed alignment will be transferred on to the ground as under:

• Reference Pillar and Bench Mark / Reference pillar of size 15 cm X 15 cm X 45cm

will be cast in RCC of grade M 15 with a nail fixed in the centre of the top surface.
The reference pillar will be embedded in concrete upto a depth of 30cm with CC M10
(5 cm wide all around). The balance 15 cm above ground will be painted yellow. The
spacing will be 250m apart, in case Bench Mark Pillar coincides with Reference
Pillar, only one of the two will be provided.

• Boundary Pillars - Wherever there is a proposal of realignment of the existing

Highway and/or construction of New Bypasses; Consultant will fix boundary pillars
along the proposed alignment on the extreme boundary on either side of the project
Highway at 50 m interval.

4.7 Pavement condition survey

Pavement investigations will include assessment of structural strength and composition of

existing pavement (material type and thickness), pavement distress condition surveys and
determination of sub-grade strength and its relevant engineering characteristics as per
IRC recommendations. Data collection shall cover conditions of pavement surface
(surface distress type and extent), shoulders, embankment and prevailing drainage along
the project corridor. From the reconnaissance survey of the project corridor, only some of
the project sections are found to be in good condition whereas the majority of the existing
pavement is in fair to poor condition. The formats for recording the pavement condition
survey are given in Chapter 10.

Data collection on condition of the roadway shoulder and embankment shall also be
undertaken to evaluate the extent of improvement and rehabilitation required for the
project roads. Condition survey of the pavement shall be carried out generally by visual
means and recorded using suitable reference system. The condition data shall be used to
select and quantify rehabilitation measures. Data on general drainage conditions of
existing roadway shall be collected to identify sections of similar performance and to
quantify the remedial measures.

Sections of project road corridor where pavement strengthening is viable, evaluation of

existing pavement strength shall be carried out using BBD Tests as per the guidelines of
IRC:81-1997 “Guidelines for Strengthening of Flexible Road Pavements Using
Benkelman Beam Deflection Technique (First Revision)”. Attempts shall also be made to
collect and analyse the data available from the department on composition of existing
pavement of the project roads. The BBD test formats are enclosed in Chapter 10 at the

end of the report. The DCP-CBR test data will be recorded in the format presented in
Chapter 10.

Based on the data collected from pavement condition and structural strength surveys
(BBD as well as trial pits), road shall be divided into segments of homogeneous sections
for design of overlay/reconstruction. For the widening sections within the ROW, soil
samples of the subgrade for each homogeneous section or soil samples of each soil types
encountered shall be collected for Index Tests, density, in-situ moisture content and CBR
correlation with DCP at the test pit locations. Wherever any problematic soil (organic,
peat or soft soil areas) sections are encountered, the pits for soil samples will be more
closely spaced to characterise sub-soil for the pavement and highway designs.

4.8 Pavement composition

The data related to the details regarding existing pavement composition are planned to be
obtained by trial pit survey. Test pits of size 1m x 1m are excavated at the edge of
pavement on shoulders at an interval of 500m on both sides of the carriageway in a
staggered manner.

The following details would be collected during the trial pit survey:
 Composition of pavement
 Type of material used
 Thickness of individual layers
 Sub-grade textural classification
 Sub-grade condition
The material excavated from the trial pits will be collected separately as per material type
and the excavated pits will be made good upto subgrade and metalled layers. Remaining
depths will be filled by granular material.

Efforts would be made to establish correlation between BBD deflection and the existing
pavement composition. Correlation, if established, would be considered for working out
overlay thickness for the existing pavement along the project highway.

4.9 Subgrade investigations

Based on the surface condition, roughness and structural strength, the project road section
would be divided into homogeneous segments, using cumulative difference approach.

Trial pits would be dug at every 5 km interval for roads along new alignment and for
additional lanes. Further sub grade soil sample along the existing alignment also will be
collected from the test pits dug for pavement composition survey at every 500m intervals.
A minimum of three sub grade soil samples for each homogenous road segment would be
collected and tested for widening of existing road within the ROW and the following field
and laboratory tests would be under taken:
 In-situ density & moisture content
 Field CBR using DCP
 Characterization (Grain size analysis & Atterberg limits)
 Laboratory moisture density characteristics (Modified AASHTO compaction)
 Laboratory CBR (unsoaked and 4 days soak compacted at there energy levels)
swell

All the samples collected from field would be properly labeled and transported to
Consultant’s laboratory at Salem.
4.10 Investigations for bridges and structure
4.10.1 Investigations of bridges, culverts and structures
An inventory of all the structures including culverts, bridges, flyovers, viaducts, etc.,
along the project road has since been commenced, as per clause the TOR. The inventory
for the bridges, viaducts and ROB/RUB would include the parameters required as per the
guidelines of IRC: SP: 35-1990. The findings of the bridge and structures inventory will
be submitted in tabular format along with relevant physical and hydraulic parameters, in
the Draft Feasibility Report.

4.10.2 Investigations of Retaining walls & structures

An inventory of all the retaining structures along the project road including retaining
walls, aprons, revetments, etc., along the project road would be carried out as per the
guidelines of the TOR.

4.10.3 Hydraulic and hydrological investigations

The Consultant will carry out a desk study of available data on topography (topographic
maps), storm duration, rainfall statistics, topsoil characteristics, vegetation cover etc. so as
to assess the catchment area and hydraulic parameters for all existing and proposed
drainage provisions. The findings of the desk study will be further supplemented by a
reconnaissance of the area. All important hydrological features will be noted during the
field investigations.

The hydraulic and hydrological investigation will be carried out in accordance with
IRC:SP:13-2004 “Guidelines for the Design of small Bridges and Culverts (First
Revision)” and IRC:5-2015 “Standard Specifications & Code of Practice for Road
Bridges, Section I - General Features of Design (Seventh Revision)”.

The Consultant will prepare an inventory of the existing bridges and culverts indicating
their hydraulic and engineering characteristics/performance. The discharge and flood data
for existing bridges as available with the concerned authorities will be used for
establishing a comprehensive database.

Information on past floods and their effects on existing road and bridges will be collected
from records and by interviewing the local officers and people. Design flood level and
discharge would be established using these data and information.

The hydraulic adequacy of the existing Cross-Drainage (CD) Structures would therefore
be the guiding factor in determining the requirement of additional structures. Local
enquiry about the adequacy will be made.

From the available past records, the information on HFL, LWL, discharge velocity etc.
for various bridges will be collected. It may be noted that in these records, the HFL are
not generally connected to GTS benchmarks. In order to relate these HFL values with
actual levels, the vertical clearance of the structure from original design HFL, will play an
important part for the correlation.

The drainage pattern of the region will be studied based on the available secondary data,
maps, etc. These together with the recorded information on flooding in the vicinity and
hydraulic behaviour of bridges will be utilized in fixing the embankment height, bridge

and CD locations, waterways, span arrangements, protection measures, etc. for the
existing carriageway of roads.

Adequacy of the waterway and other hydraulic parameters for the existing bridges on the
road linkages will also be examined, and wherever required, necessary improvement
measures will be suggested.

The Rational Method will be used to determine design runoff for catchments having area
of less than 25 sq. km. For catchment areas greater than 25 sq. km, flood discharge for
these valleys will be calculated using the Synthetic Unit Hydrograph and Synthetic Storm
Methods.

4.10.4 Condition Survey for Bridges, Culverts and Structures

The Survey formats finalised in consultation with NHAI will be adopted for presentation
of the data/details. Inventory survey will be carried out for each structure and summary
will be set out in a Separate Report.

The Consultant will examine all existing bridges and cross-drainage structures on the
project roads following the guidelines of IRC:SP:35-1990 “Guidelines for Inspection and
Maintenance of Bridges” in order to determine their structural conditions, adequacy of
waterway openings, load carrying capacity, anticipated future serviceability and the
extent of repair/ strengthening and rehabilitation measures needed.

The necessity for the reconstruction of bridges and culverts will also be examined for
appropriate actions at the design stage. As far as possible, reconstruction of bridges will
be avoided. The distress of the bridges, if any, would first be identified by visual
inspection and confirmed later on, as specified by the relevant IRC practice. The study
will focus on factors, such as:
 geometrical aspects, including bridge widths and whether the existing structure
can be economically incorporated into new road geometry;

 the capability of the bridge to meet the proposed design standards for traffic
loading;

 approach road conditions; and

 waterway conditions.

Inventories will be prepared to record the conditions of each major/minor bridge or cross-
drainage structure falling within the identified section. After carrying out the initial
condition survey, an assessment of the structures will be made based on the findings of
condition survey. The condition survey of the existing bridges will be carried out to
assess:

• Structural condition

• Durability aspects

• Hydraulic efficiency

As a component of condition survey, visual observations will be made by senior bridge

specialists keeping in view the requirement of IRC:SP:35-1990“Guidelines for Inspection
and Maintenance of Bridges” and IRC:SP:40-1993 “Guidelines on Techniques for
Strengthening and Rehabilitation of Bridges”.

Visual observations to be carried out during the condition survey would be mainly to find
out the distresses. In addition to the superstructures, the masonry substructures will be
inspected to locate cracks and loose mortar in joints, especially for pier and abutments.

The wing walls and the return walls will be inspected to locate any separation of these
from the abutment. Any unusual differential settlement which gives rise to cracks in the
return or wing wall will be looked for.

For any distress observed, the extent or the magnitude plays a vital role and consequently
the extent of the distress needs to be noticed. Thus evaluation of the distress is of
paramount importance. In order to evaluate the distress in the form of a visible entity, it is
necessary to know the reasons or causes of the identified distresses which would be
briefly elucidated.

 Load Carrying Capacity or Rating of Bridges

The assessment of the load carrying capacity or rating of existing retained bridges will be
carried out in one or more of the following scenarios:

• when the design live load is less than that of the statutory commercial vehicle
plying or likely to ply on bridge;

• if during the condition assessment survey and supplementary testing the bridge is
found to indicate distress of serious nature leading to doubt about structural and /
or functional adequacy; and
• design live loads are not known nor are the records and drawings available.

The evaluation of load carrying capacity of the bridge will be carried out as per IRC:SP:
37-2010 “Guidelines for evaluation of Load Carrying Capacity of Bridges”. In line with
the recommendations, as far as possible, the analytical and correlation method will be
used for the evaluation of load carrying capacity of the bridges.

When it will not be possible to determine the load carrying capacity of the bridge using
analytical and correlation method, the same will be carried out using load testing. The
Consultant will exhaust all other methods of evaluation of strength of bridges before
recommending taking up load testing of bridges.

4.10.5 Geo-technical investigations and Subsoil Exploration

Alignment Soil Investigation

Since most of the existing pavement is likely to be retained and widened in the
improvement proposal, knowing the properties of the existing sub-grade becomes
imperative. For this purpose, pits are proposed to be dug in the carriageway-shoulder
interface to obtain sub-grade soil samples carrying out in-situ and laboratory tests.

Large pits will be excavated at 500 m interval to collect the following data:

• Pavement composition
• DCP-CBR of sub-grade
• Soil characteristics (type, grain size analysis, and Atterberg limits) of sub-grade
• FMC and FDD of sub-grade
• Modified Proctor densities
• Soaked & unsoaked lab CBR of sub-grade

The formats for the above investigations are enclosed in Chapter – 10 at the end of the
report.

Sub-soil Investigation
Geotechnical investigations will be carried out as per the guidelines of IRC: 78-
2014“Standard Specifications and Code of Practice for Road Bridges, Section VII –
Foundations and Substructure (Second Revision)”. Data on sub-surface conditions for the
proposed new structures will be collected. An assessment of subsurface conditions for the
bridges will be made for foundation and hydraulic recommendations. Additional
investigations including bore holes and tests will be carried out for the bridge, high
approaches and proposed road over bridge locations and also at suitable intervals along
the stretches of high embankments, if any.
Location of Boreholes

S.No Description Location of Boring

1. Over all length = 6m – 30m One abutment location

2. Over all length = 30m – 60m One abutment location and at least one
intermediate location between abutments
for structures having more than one span.

3. Over all length >60m Each abutment and each pier locations.

Since this project stretch falls in the desert area, Major Bridges has not been found. Very
few Cross Drainage structures were found near the built up areas. Also Indira Gandhi
National Canal has been found crossing the stretch near Dhanana, which requires a Minor
Bridge.
Methodology for boring
For detailed sub surface investigations, rotary drilling technique will be adopted. Casing
pipes of 150mm diameter and Bentonite slurry would be used to protect the sides of the
boreholes. Standard penetration tests (SPT) would be conducted at specified intervals.
During boring investigations, the resistance to the speed of drilling i.e., rate of
penetration, core loss, etc., would be recorded and presented in “bore log chart and data
sheet”.

Disturbed samples would be collected in plastic bags from cohesive layers for visual
observation and classification tests. Undisturbed samples will be collected in open type

CD type test of selected samples as per IS: 27420 (part-11) 1978 and IS: 2720
(part-12) 1987 respectively.
 Chemical analysis of ground water procured from boreholes for sulphur and
chloride contents IS:3025 (part-24) 1986 and IS:3025 (part-32) 1988 respectively.
 Specific gravity of soils (IS: 2720 (part 3) – 1983)
In rock cores, visual identification for texture, structure, composition, colour and grain
size would be done. In addition, specific gravity, porosity, density and moisture content
and shear strength of rock core samples would be determined.

Standard penetration test

Standard penetration tests are planned to be conducted at every change of layers and at
specified intervals, commencing the test at 1.50m below ground level. The number of
blows required to drive each 15cm penetration of the split spoon sampler, with 65 kg
hammer, free falling from a height of 75cms, will be recorded. The first 15cm
penetrations will be termed as seating valve. The number of blows required for last 30cms
will be termed as ‘N’ value. The results would be plotted in a graphical form and the
relative density would be determined from the ‘N’ values.

Determination of Atterberg limits

These tests would be carried out from the disturbed soil samples, in accordance with IS:
2720, by using cone penetrometer.

Grain size analysis

Combined sieve and hydrometer analysis would be conducted on the collected soil
samples, based on the proportion of the different soil constituent. The soil collected will
then be classified using ‘Triangular chart’.

Determination of specific gravity

In order to determine the specific gravity of soil particles, this test would be conducted on
selected soil in 50ml volumetric density bottle, as per the guidelines of IS: 2720 (part 3 –
1980).

Crushing strength of rock

Core samples collected from rock layer would be tested for determining the crushing
strength of rock.

Based on the above tests, the various design parameters such as safe bearing capacity,
engineering properties of soil / rock, etc., detailed foundation analysis would be
undertaken to determine the type of foundation, foundation level, etc.

4.11 Material investigations

A detailed survey is planned to be carried out to ascertain the availability of various
construction materials such as sand, gravel, moorum, broken granite stones, etc., along
the vicinity of the project corridor for construction of embankment, sub-grade, pavement
and structures. The primary objective of the survey would be to identify quarry sites for
stone aggregates, moorum, sand, etc., and borrow areas for soil as well as availability of
fly ash / slag, etc. A mass haul diagram would be prepared for haulage purposes
including quarry charts indicating the location of selected borrow areas with estimated
quantities.

Relevant filed and laboratory tests would be conducted on these materials to determine
their suitability for the construction of various components of the work. The material
investigation would include preparation and testing of bituminous mixes for various
layers and concrete mixes of different design mix grades using suitable materials to
confirm latest MoRT&H specifications.

Traffic surveys will be carried out manually under normal conditions for durations as
shown in the following table. Sufficient number of field staff under supervision of
experienced traffic engineers will be engaged. The field staff will be properly trained
about their work, responsibilities and safety in field before start of actual surveys. The

Revision)”,and used in consultation with NHAI. The data collected from the primary field
surveys will be thoroughly analysed to arrive at the desired results for the study.
However, each traffic survey will have its own significance and interpretation as
discussed below.

The forms enclosed in Chapter – 10 at the end of this report will be used for recording
the above traffic survey data.

4.12.2 Classified traffic volume count survey

The Consultant will carry out 7-day continuous classified traffic volume count at the
identified traffic count stations on each traffic homogeneous section of the project roads
and at selected locations on regional roads. Traffic volume count will be conducted at
mid-block locations where the present traffic is expected to be representative of the
homogeneous section traffic. The location of traffic counts will be finalised in
consultation with NHAI and the data will be recorded on the prescribed survey formats.
The field data will be analysed to obtain the Average Daily Traffic (ADT), average

hourly variation of traffic, vehicular composition for each traffic count location and
estimation of Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) on the project road with proper
seasonal correction.

4.12.3 Origin - Destination survey

Origin-Destination surveys will be carried out at identified locations on project roads as
well as selected locations on the regional roads to quantify the possible diversion to the
project corridor. It will be conducted for continuous 24 hours on normal working day(s)
along with simultaneous traffic volume count. O-D survey will be carried out by
Roadside Interview Method on random sampling basis. In this method vehicles are
stopped using police assistance and the drivers are asked questions about origin,
destination and purpose of the trip as well as various others including commodity (type
and quantity), occupancy, etc. and their inputs are recorded. The Consultant intends to
cover a minimum sample size of twenty (20) percent for all categories of vehicles. Since
this method involves the stopping of vehicles and interviewing the vehicle drivers, it is
necessary to take help of local police to avoid traffic congestion and ensure safety during
the survey period. All categories of goods vehicles, buses and car/ jeep/ van will be
interviewed as these groups form the majority of road users likely to use the
new/improved road.
O-D survey stations will be selected judiciously in consultation with NHAI. Care will be
taken to optimise the number so that all possible divertible traffic in the surrounding
network is captured. Since predominance of local movements and unduly large number of
O-D locations tend to make the diversion analysis unwieldy without adding value, this
aspect shall be given due consideration while selecting O-D stations.

4.12.4 Axle Load survey

Axle load survey is needed to generate data for the design of pavement. Axle load survey
will be carried out on normal working day(s) for continuous 24 hours on the project
roads. A continuous traffic volume count survey will be carried out along with the axle
load survey. The axle load survey will be carried out on a random sampling basis for
commercial vehicles (Freight Vehicles) along with few passenger buses to find out if they
are overloaded. The Consultant intends to cover a minimum sample size of twenty (20)
percent of freight vehicles plying on the project road. This survey will be carried out

using two portable axle load pads, one for each direction on the project road. Since this
survey involves stopping and guiding vehicles to axle load weigh locations, it is necessary
to take help of local police to avoid traffic congestion and ensure safety during the survey
period. Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) will be computed using IRC guidelines for further
estimation of design traffic loadings during the project design period.
Axle load surveys help in ascertaining the loading spectrum of the commercial vehicles
plying on the road and in turn assessing the damage to the pavement caused by these
vehicles. Therefore, information on axle loads in a road must be carefully gathered else
the design traffic loadings for pavement design can be way off the mark. This risk
becomes more serious if traffic from other roads is expected to be diverted to the project
road in the future. The locations of the proposed axle load survey will be chosen to cover
the spread of loadings in the influence area in an optimum manner.

4.12.5 Turning Movement survey

The Consultant will conduct turning movement counts at all major intersections on the
project roads. The count will be carried out on normal working days for both morning and
evening peak periods. The vehicular movements in all directions of the junction will be
recorded in the prescribed format. The analysis of the field data will be utilized to assess
the existing traffic condition at the junctions and requirement of necessary improvement
of the junction.
The turning movement counts will be conducted at junctions of the project road with NHs
and SHs. Some of the junctions with ODR may also get qualified for survey based on
influence zones. The survey data will be used to check various traffic management
warrants including signalisation and grade separation. It will also help in at-grade/grade
separated intersection design and also provide additional data on connectivity of corridor
sections. All the junctions considered for Turning Movement Count Survey are shown in
the map given above.
4.12.6 Speed & Delay survey
Highway improvements result in increase in vehicle operating speed and reduction of
congestion. Speed and delay studies on the existing facilities provide basis for estimating
the causative problems and benefits of the improved facility. The study will be carried out
using ‘Moving Car Method’ using new technology vehicles during the identified morning

and evening peak periods. The test vehicle will run separately in both directions on each
link (between major junctions) of each traffic homogeneous section of the project road.
Three round trips will carried out on each link section during morning and evening peak
periods. The travel time, stopped delay and reasons for the stopped delay will be noted
down in the prescribed survey format.
4.12.7 Pedestrian / Animal Cross Traffic Survey
For carrying out these surveys, the Highway Engineer and the Traffic Engineer shall
jointly identify the spots/locations popularly used by pedestrian and animals for crossing.
For pedestrian crossings, such spots are generally at junctions/intersections, schools,
hospitals, religious places and market/commercial areas. For animal crossings, the
locations are close to village roads, paths, tracks leading to fields or where the village
settlement is on both sides of the road. Such counts/surveys shall be carried out manually
for head count, during peak hours in mornings and evenings on a working day. These
survey locations will be decided once the alignment for bypasses or realignments are
finalised for towns / villages.
Moreover, pedestrian counts in urban areas will be essential to design facilities like
footpath and crossings.

4.12.8 Past Traffic Data

Past traffic data for the project road, if available, will be collected from local
NHAI/authorities to assess the past trend of traffic growth year by year. Vehicle
registration data will also be collected for the Rajasthan State at least for the past 5 years.
This will give us growth of vehicle during the past years and help in understanding the
future growth of vehicle on the project road.

4.12.9 Traffic Projections

For the purpose of evaluating capacity of road, it is necessary that classified traffic is
projected for the future horizon year, for which the facility is to be designed. The
Consultant intends to estimate the projected traffic for the next 30 years as per the ToR
requirement. The traffic growth will be assessed in the first instance on the basis of the
observed trend of traffic in the recent years and other economic indicators. The estimation
of growth rates for passenger and freight vehicles will be carried out using suitable

methods discussed in IRC:SP:19-2001 “Manual for Survey, Investigation and Preparation

of Road Projects (Second Revision)” and IRC:108-2015“Guidelines for Traffic Forecast
on Highways”. The traffic diversion estimates will be obtained from the O-D pairs and
included in the projections. Traffic projections will also include all potential generated
and induced traffic.
Traffic forecast will be established using the IRC guidelines. Growth rates will be
established using the econometric model: The elasticity method relates traffic growth to
changes in the related economic parameters. According to IRC: 108-2015 “Guidelines for
Traffic Forecast on Highways”, elasticity based econometric model for highway projects
could be derived in the following form:
Log e (P) = A 0 + A 1 Log e (EI)
Where:
P = Traffic volume;
EI = Economic Indicator;
A 0 = Regression constant; T Stat;
A 1 = Regression co-efficient (Elasticity Index).
Elasticity values for all motorised vehicles will be developed using the econometric
model for Rajasthan State. Growth rates will be computed using the established elasticity
values for each type of vehicle for the design period of 20/30 years.

accidents for the last 3 years for the project road corridor. Records are normally
maintained by the local police stations/traffic police. The locations of accident prone
spots will be collected or identified from these records. The statistical analysis of the past

4.13.2 Environmental Screening

The environmental screening will be carried out to identify and mark environmental
resources in project influence area. The project influence area (PIA) will be marked on
Survey of India Topo Sheet or any other authenticated map with road alignment as centre.
Two types of project influence area: one direct PIA (covering 100 m) on both sides of
road alignment and the other indirect PIA covering 10 km on both sides of road alignment
will be marked. All environmental resources, such as national park, wild life corridors,
wild life parks, bird sanctuary, declared ecological sensitive areas, religious structures,
and archaeological monuments, reserved and protected forests, wet land, etc. falling in the
direct PIA and indirect PIA will be marked.
Preliminary stakeholder consultations and focus group discussions will be held during site
visits, which will be undertaken for environmental screening. Secondary data will be
collected on baseline environmental quality (ambient air quality, ground and surface
water quality, noise levels, and soil quality).
Based on secondary data and baseline data, environmental resources in PIA and planned
project interventions Valued Environmental Components (VECs) will be identified and
listed.
Based on VEC, all environmental attributes will be finalized. The detailed scoping for
EIA study will also be done after environmental screening.

4.13.3 Environmental Impact Assessment

The environmental impact assessment will be carried by identifying PIA of each corridor

4.16 Highway Design

4.16.1 Design Standards

The Consultant will evaluate the design standards proposed for recently completed / on-
going studies for the development of similar highways in India, and formulate the design
standards for the project road, keeping in view the local requirements, IRC standards,
guidelines of the MORT&H and international practices.

4.16.2 Geometric Designs

Based on the design standards evolved and finalised, preliminary designs of horizontal
and vertical alignment will be made using MX Road software.

Horizontal Alignment: Horizontal alignment depends on the existing constraints on site

and the widening proposals of the project roads. The Consultant will design the horizontal
alignment based on the site conditions assessing the requirement of Eccentric/Concentric
widening of the road. The horizontal alignment will be designed in accordance with IRC
Design Standards IRC: 73-1980 “Geometric Design Standards for Rural (Non-Urban)
Highways”, IRC:86-1983 “Geometric Design Standards for Urban Roads in Plains”, and
IRC:38-1988 “Guidelines for Design of Horizontal Curves for Highways and Design
Tables (First Revision)”, however the due considerations will be given for constrained
locations where safety enhancements will be discussed in consultation with local NHAI
officials.

Vertical Alignment: Generally Vertical Alignment for the project road shall be adhered
to the existing excepting the locations where the raising of the formation level is required
due to the following reasons:

1) Flood Prone Sections to satisfy the requirements of IRC:37-2012 “Tentative

Guidelines for the Design of Flexible Pavements”
2) Proposals of conversion of at grade Major Junctions to Grade Separation
Structures
3) Proposals of conversion of existing railway level crossing to ROB

The vertical alignment will be designed as per the provisions of the IRC:73-1980

“Geometric Design Standards for Rural (Non-Urban) Highways” based on the proposed
lane configurations finalized for each of the project roads. Vertical profile of undivided
and divided carriageways will be designed based on Intermediate Sight Distance (ISD)
and on two lane road efforts should be made to achieve overtaking sight distance (OSD)
and where it is not possible to achieve ISD due to site constraints Stopping of Sight
Distance (SSD) need to be achieved.

On ground verification, final design of the highway alignment will be carried out
incorporating the observations of the NHAI officials keeping in view the economics as
the paramount aspect.

The Consultant made an effort to formulate possible typical cross-sections based on

various land use/ terrain and constraint conditions along the project roads. These are to be
further discussed and evaluated before they are finalised keeping in view of
engineering/social and environmental aspects. The same are presented at Annexure C.

4.16.3 Design of Intersection Layouts and Grade Separators

The nature, volume and intensity of projected traffic along the selected corridor will be
studied to devise efficient traffic management scheme. Data from the traffic surveys, such
as volume count and estimated traffic dispersal characteristics at intersections will form
the basis for designing necessary traffic dispersal layout plan for ensuring a smooth flow
of traffic. Network connectivity of the project influence area will be studied in depth and
if alternate suitable route is available relevant intersections will be considered for closure.

Special attention will be given for preparing traffic dispersal plan for the existing at-grade
intersections, in view of the likely interference of crossroad traffic to the main road and
detailed improvement scheme will be finalised based on the guidelines of IRC:SP:41-
1994 “Guidelines on Design of At-Grade Intersections in Rural & Urban Areas”, MOST
Type Design Manual for Intersections on National Highways, 1992 and Manual for
Safety in Road Design, 1998. Maximum efforts will be made to segregate the slow
moving traffic from the highway traffic.

At intersections of equal hierarchy the grade separation structures in the form of Flyover/
underpass or grade separators will be considered, as appropriate. Intersection layout plans

will be prepared showing traffic movement pattern at these locations. Constructability of

such structures will be the main concern while finalising the proposal. Where the traffic
dispersals are expected on the intersecting roads slip/service roads shall be provided and
in other locations these will be exempted.

4.17 Pavement

4.17.1 Design of Pavement

Pavement is a very critical component for the project highway. The requirements of
pavement design will be analysed in depth taking into account relevant design
parameters, such as traffic projection, design cumulative Equivalent Standard Axle
(ESA), materials characteristics and the climatic conditions.

The cumulative ESA will be made available from the traffic forecast model. An
appropriate fixed value for the ultimate design life and the progression of ESA values for
phased construction for different vehicle categories will be established for the project
road. Vehicle damage factors will be available from the axle load survey. As
strengthening course, flexible pavement will be provided which will be designed based on
IRC:81-1997“Guidelines for Strengthening of Flexible Road Pavements Using
Benkelman Beam Deflection Technique (First Revision)”. Strategy for the materials to be
used in profile corrective course will be decided after ascertaining the required thickness
giving due consideration to economise the item without compromising on the needed
strength.

Design of new flexible pavement as well as reconstruction of flexible pavement shall be

carried out primarily based on IRC: 37-2012 “Tentative Guidelines for the Design of
Flexible Pavements”.

Both rigid and flexible pavement options will be exercised. Life cycle cost analysis will
be carried out in order to decide the most viable option. Rigid pavement will be designed
as per the provisions contained in IRC: 58-2015“Guidelines for the Design of Plain
Jointed Rigid Pavements for Highways (Third Revision)”. Most of the project road
sections are not having adequate formation height. The locations where the formation
height has to be increased will be identified and the identified stretches will be proposed

for raising the formation level. The extent of raise will be decided in consultation with
local NHAI officials. As a part of the rehabilitation measures the Consultant will explore
the options of cold/hot recycling of existing pavement materials where the road formation
has to be either reconstructed or raised. Where the sub-soil conditions are poor,
stabilization methods, which have no adverse environmental impacts to the adjoining
agricultural fields and the water bodies, will also be explored in consultation with NHAI.
The use of marginalized aggregates as higher strength subgrade in order to reduce the
consumption of bitumen and aggregates will also be explored. If NHAI wishes a trial
section may be demonstrated to have on hand results before they are implemented on the
actual contracts.

Besides, pavement designs for service roads, toll plaza, parking bays and crossroads will
be carried out. Maintenance needs (during construction and post- construction) and the
future renewal courses will be defined.

4.17.2 Design of High Embankments

Detailed design for high embankments will be carried out where necessary. The
performance data of existing high embankments will be analysed and utilised in the
design. Possibility of reinforced earth embankments will also be examined. The design of
high embankments will be based on IRC: 75-2015 “Guidelines for the Design of High
Embankments”. The requirement of pre-loading or fast dissipation of pore water pressure
will be examined in case of poor quality of foundation soils (highly expansive clays /
marine clays), especially sections close to the coastline.

4.18 Drainage and Protection Works

The drainage requirements for the project roads and adjoining areas will be assessed
through the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) prepared using topographic survey data.
Pavement internal and external drainage will be ensured by providing drainage layer and
camber respectively. Longitudinal slopes in roadside ditches and central drain will be
proposed ensuring generation of self-cleansing velocity at the time of storm. Catchment
analysis using Rational Method/project specific unit hydrograph will be undertaken for
the hydraulic design of the drain channel. The shape of the channels will be fixed to
facilitate easy and economical construction and easy maintenance. The possibility of

providing sub-surface drains will be examined in super-elevated and hilly stretches.

Suitable drainage system will be planned for the high embankment, super-elevated
carriageway and other key areas, with a view to ensuring easy collection and disposal of
storm water. A network will be conceptualised from runoff till final disposal and its
continuity will be ensured at each critical point.

The main enemy of the protection works is drainage and so, designed drainage system
will be integrated to the slope protection. Unnecessary slope protection will be avoided
and its eco-friendly feature will be given the prime importance, especially in forest areas.
Guidelines given in relevant IRC code will be followed in suggesting the safety measures
during the construction.

River protection works where required to safeguard the cross drainage structures will be
designed based on the provisions contained in IRC: 89-1997 “Guidelines for Design &
Construction of River Training & Control works for Road Bridges”. While designing
river protection works, adequate care will be taken not to disturb the river water cycle.
The extent of training and protection works will be determined based on hydrological and
other data. Settlement analysis will be carried out along with structural and hydraulic
analysis to frame a stable protection work.

4.19 Design of Bridges and Cross Drainage Structures

The alternatives for the structural system, span arrangements, form of the superstructure,
foundation system etc. will be explored keeping in view the aesthetic and environmental
requirements, functionality, physical and sub-soil conditions. The foundation systems for
the existing bridges on or in the vicinity of the project roads will be studied while
deciding the requirements for the new facilities.

The proposals for new major and minor bridges will be based on the following
considerations in 2-lane / 4-lanesection:

• The deck width will be 16m for new bridge of 2-lane in 2-lane section.
• Footpath / Safety Kerb with crash barriers will be provided on both sides for new
2-lane bridge in 2-lane section depending upon the pedestrian movement.
• Crash barriers will be provided on both sides of carriageway with footway on one
side and kerb with railing on outer edge for new 2-lane bridge in 4-lane section.

• The new additional 2-lane bridge in 4-lane section would be parallel to the
existing bridge with a clear median width as specified in the approved Design
Standards for 4 lane sections.
• The retained bridges will be widened wherever required and wherever feasible
based on the type of superstructure, substructure and foundation to match with
proposed road cross-section of 2-lane / 4-lane section.
• Piers and abutments of the new bridge will be in line with those of old structure.
In the case larger span lengths are adopted, the foundations will be in line with
that of old bridge with alternate foundations omitted.
• Aesthetic considerations to suit the surroundings will be taken care of while
designing the structure. To improve the riding quality suitable larger span lengths
will be proposed in place of small span lengths to reduce the number of expansion
joints, wherever it is found feasible.
• Based on the scour depths as per discharge and type of founding strata, open / pile
foundation will be proposed.
• Anti-corrosive treatment of the reinforcements will be proposed for the roads
located within the harsh weather condition, especially for roads close to coastline.

As per the requirements of ToR, the Consultant will also review the designs developed by
NHAI for earlier projects in relation with the up gradation requirements and stipulations
of relevant recent IRC codes. The reference of application will be deliberated to NHAI.

Efforts will be made to adopt similar type of structures and standard structural system in
order to have easy construction. Structural design will be carried out using STAAD
software and in-house developed software, and drawings will be prepared with adequate
detailing to ensure the completeness of the design. The provisions contained in relevant
IS/ IRC codes will be followed while selecting design para and drawing details. Emphasis
will be given to maximize the usage of locally available construction material.

All slab and functional pipe culverts will be extended to have widths equal to the road
formation. Proper jointing arrangement will be developed for the extension of culverts.
All pipe culverts less than 900 mm dia will be replaced in accordance with IRC
guidelines.

All new culverts will be box / pipe type. Buried / malfunction culverts will also be
replaced with box / pipe culverts after adjudging the disposal locations.

RCC box type structures will be proposed for underpasses (vehicular / non-vehicular).

Span arrangement for the grade-separators will be based on crossroad geometry and the
foundation will be designed as open/pile foundation based on the foundation strata.
Similarly, arrangement for railway over bridge will be based on the requirement of
railways based on railway ROW. Approaches will be with Reinforced Earth Wall (RE
Wall) / RCC Retaining Wall for grade separation structures as accepted by NHAI.

4.21 Rate Analysis, BOQ and Cost Estimates

4.21.1 Rate Analysis

The unit rates given the schedule of rates of Rajasthan and the item rates being used in
similar on-going works will be studied. Rate analysis will be based on “Schedule of
Rates, Government of Rajasthan/ MoRT&H, 2014” will be carried for each identified
item of work from the basic inputs like equipment hire rates and labour / material costs.
While deriving the rates, due consideration on the finalised technical specifications for
pay items of various construction works, applicable taxes/levies/ rebates, overhead
charges and other incidental costs, will be given.

4.21.2 Preparation of BOQ and Cost Estimates

MoRT&H Specifications for Road & Bridge Works, Fifth Revision will be followed for
the identified items of construction and maintenance works. The pay items will be
finalised after careful study of similar construction tenders, project drawings and the
execution needs. Entire gamut of item of works will be broken down into different bills.
These bills will be formulated to facilitate easy identification of the similar works. The
Efforts will be made to minimize the number of items by avoiding the repetition of same
item under different bills.

The quantities of construction pay items shall be computed based on the following
considerations/procedures:

• The earthwork quantities like roadway excavation and embankment will be

computed based on the DTM developed in MXROAD renew software.
• The quantities for road pavement, base, sub-base etc. for main carriageway and
service roads will be calculated through applicable cross-sectional template
developed in MXROAD software.
• The quantities for structures will be calculated based on detailed structural
drawings and associated GAD using STAAD and in-house software.

• The quantities for drainage, protection and river training works will be computed
based on typical drain drawings and tentative drainage plan. The road furniture
quantities will be worked out based on junction improvement scheme and road
signage plans.
• Provision for routine maintenance during the construction period will be made
based on the provisions contained in IRC:82-2015“Code of Practice for
Maintenance of Bituminous Surfaces of Highway”.
• Separate provision for miscellaneous items like photographic records, vehicles,
offices for Client and supervision consultant as needed, traffic management and
tree plantation, will be made.

The costs for relocating utilities within project limits, forest compensation, resettlement /
rehabilitations and land acquisition will not be included in cost estimates for the contract
packages as the construction site will be made available to the contractor free from such
encumbrances. Therefore, these will be provided separately as Non-Civil Works.

The construction packages will be decided in consultation with NHAI. Based on the bill
of quantities and schedule of rates prepared as above, the cost estimates will be prepared
separately for each construction package.

4.22 Economic and Financial Analysis

4.22.1 Economic Analysis

The economic evaluation for the project will be undertaken separately for each project
road using HDM-IV or other internationally recognised life cycle costing model. The
economic viability will be determined by utilizing the discounted cash flow technique,
over a period of 20 years. The economic evaluation will be carried considering "with" and
"without" project situations.

Vehicle Operating Cost

The Consultant will provide unit Vehicle Operating Costs (VOC) for representative
vehicles based on IRC:SP:30-2009”Manual on Economic Evaluation of Highway Projects
in India (Second Revision)”.

to 2/4 lane NH Configuration under “BHARATMALA” project.

Assessment of Economic Benefit

The economic benefits likely to result from the improvement and upgrading of State
Highways will be identified and quantified in monetary values. These are expected in
terms of savings in road user costs comprising the cost of vehicle operation on different
routes / modes, value of travel time and accident losses.

In order to assess economic benefits, VOC for cars, buses and trucks and road users' time
costs for passengers and goods in transit will be worked out in economic terms for vehicle
mix and user groups under different traffic flow conditions for "without" and "with" the
project situation. The VOC model will be run for alternate traffic scenarios for each
homogenous road segment. The model will provide total VOC benefits under "with" and
"without" scenarios. The Consultant will also consider estimated changes in congestion
level and the committed plans for improvement of other links of the existing road network
in the region. The net VOC savings under "with" and "without" project situations will be
taken as economic benefits.

The savings in passenger time will be determined based on the income method for
passengers using private and public modes of transport. The savings in freight
consignment cost will be determined based on the accounting rate of return on the value
of goods in transit, estimated from the commodity composition, average pay-load by
vehicle type, and current price level of selected commodities.

The accident costs arising out of injuries and death of victims and damages to vehicles
will be determined by using the `ex-post' methodology (cost incurred by the community
due to accident having taken place). The cost elements may include such items as (i) cost
to the injured party, (ii) cost to the insurance company due to damage of vehicles and
fatalities, (iii) administrative expenses of courts and Police Departments, (iv) damage to
property, etc. The savings in accident costs will be related to the net change in accident
rates due to improved traffic flow condition.

Assessment of Economic Cost

The total project cost, estimated in financial terms at perceived market prices, will be
converted into economic cost to reflect the resource cost to the national economy. The

financial cost of the project will be distributed among major cost components. The
principal elements of economic cost estimates will comprise:

• civil works and construction (including cost of land, environmental and social
impact mitigation);
• capital cost - initial cost of machinery and equipment required;
• consulting services and training;
• incremental administrative costs (including cost of staffing and auditing); and
• Initial working capital.

To the base cost, contingency allowances (reflecting physical and price changes that can
reasonably be expected to increase a base cost estimate), interest during construction, and
other financial charges will be added.

EIRR and Sensitivity Analysis

The economic analysis will be based on economic internal rate of return (EIRR) and Net
Present Value (NPV) using cost-benefit approach. The annual streams of project benefits
and costs computed for 20 years will be used in this analysis. The sensitivity analysis will
be carried out by varying cost and benefit independently as well as in combination. The
end results of this study will be presented in a series of NPVs.

4.22.2 Financial Analysis

Financial Analysis will be carried out only for the roads with major capacity
augmentation and proposed for construction in BOT mode. Financial analysis of the
project will cover Financial Internal Rate of Return, projected income statement based on
proposed user fee levels and traffic growth projections, cash flow statement and balance
sheets, amortization statement, etc. The analysis will also cover assessment of risks
associated with the project and their mitigation measures, including situation arising out
of cost and time over-run, shortfall in projected traffic volume, exchange rate variation,
interest rate volubility, political risks, force majeure etc.

The financial analysis will be carried out separately for each construction package, and
suitable recommendations will be made identifying the capital structure, government
incentives, complementary public sector investments and contributions, if any and, other

features needed to make the concession financially viable and attractive to private sector.
Option of SPV i.e. supporting public sector investment needed to develop the project on a
public-private partnership basis will also be examined.

Prioritization of segments for implementation

Priorities for implementation of the construction packages will be based on the viability
of the package on the most good and least harm basis. This means the package with the
highest IRR will produce the most good, and the sections with the least negative
environmental effects will do the least harm. On the basis of this examination, the
Consultant will recommend a priority sequence for the packages for the implementation.

Financing Options

After estimating the project costs, the financial plan will be prepared, as FIRR depends on
project cost as well as funding plan. The financing plan for private sector participation
inter-alia involves:

• co-financing arrangements;
• availability and ability of internal funds;
• self-financing ratio;
• equity contribution;
• terms of loan; and
• raising funds through cess on land improvement.

The Consultant will study various sources for financing the project and suggest
approximate mix of finances after discussions with different funding agencies and NHAI.
The option of financing the project through annuity payment will also be explored.

User Fee Rate Options

Range of acceptable user fee rates will be determined from the achieved savings in total
cost of traversing through the road vis-à-vis other roads and the paying capacity of
different users, which will be determined through an opinion survey. A comparison will
be drawn among acceptable rates, cost of accrued savings and MORT&H specified rates.

Given the average annual volume of traffic with its vehicle mix and the concessionaire
period, the Consultant will work out the user fee rates to cover the cost and arrive at the
break-even point. A matrix of user fee rate versus traffic at breakeven points will be
indicated.

Financial Viability

In this exercise, cash flow projections and financing plan will be prepared at current
market prices for 30-year franchise period taking into account all contingency allowances,
both in terms of physical and price contingency. This analysis will involve the following
elements:

• project cost estimates;

• financial plan, depreciation and taxes;
• disbursement schedule;
• income projections;
• annual stream of costs and income;
• discounting of net stream of costs and income; and
• determination of FIRR.

If the project does not appear to be viable based on user fee alone, the Consultant will
examine other alternatives, such as government grant, shortfall loan, partial realisation of
investment costs by developing surplus land development, other free bees etc., to make
the project viable. The sensitivity analysis will be carried out for the recommended option
by varying revenue and various costs independently as well as in combination.

4.23 Technical Specifications & Bid Documents

The Consultant will prepare detailed technical specifications for the items, which are not
covered under the MoRT&H specifications, and also specify quality control norms for the
construction works. The specifications given in MoRT&H specifications (Fifth Edition)
will be modified as per the project specific needs if any. All specifications will be made
consistent to drawings, cost estimates and with respect to each other.

The bid documents will be based on the standard form of bidding documents being issued
by the NHAI (if available) for various modes of procurement, Standard Civil works, EPC,
DBFOT packages as the project evolves. The documents comprises of pre-qualification
document, instruction set to bidders, draft concession agreement, project schedules.

In case the construction is to be carried out in a phased manner, separate bid documents
will be prepared for each stage of work. The conditions of contract will primarily be
FIDIC based. Project drawings labelled as ‘For Bidding Purpose Only’ will be issued
along with the bid document. While preparing the document latest guidelines and policy
circulars issued by the MORT&H(if available) will be kept in view. In case of non-
availability of the same with the Client latest guidelines and policy circulars issued by the
MORT&H will be used in consultation with NHAI.

4.24 Road Safety Audit

The Consultant will carry out the Road Safety Audit in accordance with the TOR. While
carrying out the safety audit checklist will be prepared and will be discussed with NHAI
before finalisation of the reports/ documents for that stage to screen the prepared design
and to comply it on the prescribed safety norms. Provision mentioned in IRC:SP:27-1984
“Report Containing Recommendations of IRC Regional Workshops on Highway Safety”,
and IRC:SP:32-1988 “Road Safety for Children (5-12 years old)”, will be considered
while carrying out safety checks. Safety audit will also be aimed at suitability of design in

CHAPTER - 7
INDICATIVE DESIGN STANDARDS AND PROPOSED CROSS SECTIONS

7.1 Introduction
The design standards and material specifications proposed to be adopted for the study will
be primarily based on IRC publications, MORTH circulars and relevant recommendations
of the international standards as approved by NHAI.

The design standards evolved for the project would cover all aspects of detailed design
including the design of geometric elements, pavement design, bridges and structures,
traffic safety, materials, road marking and highway furnitures.

7.2 Geometric design standards

The design of geometric elements will take into account the essential requirements to
provide access to all having access at present. Detailed geometric design of the National
Highway section will be based on the approved alignment and topographic survey. The
existing facilities available to the roads users will be taken into account during the
geometric design of partially access controlled highway. This will be accomplished in the
form of service lanes and underpasses at regular intervals for local / urban traffic, in
consultation with NHAI and as per the guidelines of IRC: 62-1976 (“Guidelines for
control of access on Highway”).

Planning and designing of roads & CD structures, pedestrian facilities and street furniture
are essentially based on IRC standards and MORT&H specifications. Design standards
relevant to the project road along with the broad list of design parameters and the relevant
IRC codes / specifications have been detailed below:
