MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF PROJECT OFFICER, SHDP
The work of creating the Project Monitoring and Construction Manual for SHDP is indeed a
commendable one. Standardization of monitoring processes is very important for
institutional development and strengthening. Particularly for large sized projects spread
across the state with an aggressive timeframe for completion, the use of technology and
standardization is absolutely essential to control the direction of project.
Karnataka has been in the forefront of technology since the days of Sir M Vishweshwaraya
and today it is renowned for its prowess in Information Technology. Use of appropriate
technology is the key to successful engineering. SHDP has adopted the latest cutting edge
technology like Rich Internet Application integrated with Mobile Applications for monitoring
the works and the Manual emphasizes its use.
I place my appreciation on record to the Engineers of SHDP for having brought out an
excellent manual.

Message from The Chief Engineer, SHDP
SHDP has embarked on standardizing the construction supervision methods and the monitoring
process for all its projects. Utilizing the latest technologies available to us in the field of Information
Technology we have adopted the best practices of Project Management for managing our works.
The need for transparency, speed in execution, combined with strong quality assurance processes
have the guiding principles in formulating this manual. We have incorporated extensive use of mobile
technology and web based systems for our monitoring procedures. This manual is but an evolving
guide for reference of our Engineers. Needless to say, at work site, better engineering judgment
based on experience and context shall prevail.
I welcome comments and suggestions from our fellow Engineers for further improvement as part of
the evolution of this manual. I hope we can make this manual as a standard for the entire
department.

1 INTRODUCTION
The Government of Karnataka through Public Works, Ports and Inland Water Transport
Department is taking up improvements and upgradation of State Highways as a part of
improvements to Core Road Network in the State of Karnataka.
The Phase-1 works include improvements to Core Road Net Work of about
3724 km at a cost of Rs. 1423.00 Crore and are being implemented under various
Packages on tender basis. The works are spread over entire State and is time bound.
The Construction works include but are not limited to:
Strengthening the existing road by providing overlays and/or rebuilding the
insufficient crust at stretches including providing overlays.
Resurfacing of the existing road for providing smooth riding surface.
Construction of side drains.
Providing Road markings and Road Furniture.
Traffic management and Maintenance of diversion road.
Environmental protection measures.
The Project Implementation Unit - State Highway Development Projects at Bangalore,
(PIU-SHDP) is headed by Chief Project Officer for monitoring and implementation of
these projects. The total Works Programme is financed by the SHDP, in the State of
Karnataka.
PIU-SHDP has procured the services of reputed consultants for Construction supervision,
Project Monitoring and Quality Assurance of the projects for supervision of civil works to
be carried out by the Qualified Consultants with satisfactory experience in implementing
projects of similar nature and size.
The objectives for Construction supervision, Project Monitoring and Quality Assurance
are:
A. To ensure high quality of construction with full compliance to the Engineering
Designs & Drawings, Technical Specifications as per conditions of contract within
the time schedule.
B. Monitoring construction activities to ensure that adequate Contract
Administration is achieved and assist in taking remedial measures to avoid
slippages, cost overrun, delays by the contractor.
C. Ensure safety during construction and adherence to all Environment
Management Regulations prescribed under the contract.

1.1 Purpose of Project Monitoring & Construction Supervision Manual

This Manual is a reference guide for efficient, safe and consistent supervision of the
works in strict conformance to the Specifications and other Contract requirements. It is
based on standard procedures for state highway widening construction projects of this
type, with specific guidelines and forms, where appropriate based on the practice in
India in conformance with MORT&H and IRC. In all cases, however, it is important that
all users of this Manual understand that the Contract Documents including the
Specifications are the controlling documents for the quality assurance process.
It is to be noted that although the intention of this Manual is to provide a guide for
efficient, high quality construction and safety, adherence to the adopted guidelines does
not necessarily supersede judgment based on good engineering practice in all cases.
There is always a case for periodic review and update of relevant guidelines and
procedures, and hence the Manual is to be viewed as a continuously evolving guide
rather than a fixed direction.

2 ORGANISATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF CONSULTANCY

SERVICES
2.1 Organisation of Consultancy Services

Consultants Organisation
The organisation for the Construction Supervision Consultancy Services is in accordance with
that included in the Consultants Proposal Methodology and subsequently included in the
Contract Agreement. The construction work package is to be administered under the PMC
organisation headed by the Team Leader (PMC)
2.2 Devolution of Engineers Responsibilities
The Team Leader (PMC)
In accordance with the provisions of the Terms of Reference (TOR), the Consultant will
appoint the Team Leader for the consultancy services to take charge of performance of such
services. The necessary responsibilities to effectively carry out the functions of the Engineer
related to the construction projects will be delegated to some of his senior staff.
Notwithstanding such delegation, the Engineer will retain overall responsibility for ensuring
that the appropriate provisions of the contract are fully complied with. The Engineer may
revoke these delegated powers at any time.
The consultant shall make all engineering decisions required for the successful and timely
implementation of the construction contracts, and shall have all the powers defined as those
of the Engineer with few exceptions for which the consultant will have to seek prior approval
of PIU, SHDP.
2.3 Duties and Responsibilities of the Team Leader & Consultants Engineers
The powers and duties of the Team Leader (Engineer) are defined by the Conditions of
Contract. The Key Personnel listed by title as by name are to be approved by the SHDP. It is
the responsibility of the Engineer and, through delegation, to supervise and administer the
construction contracts.
The principal responsibilities of the Engineer and his staff, as in the TOR will be, but not
limited to, the following:
(i) Advice, suggest modification, if required and approve Contractors Work Program
including activity scheduling and resource programming.
(ii) Asses minimum construction equipment, plant and machinery requirements, by type
and specification and monitor and regularly update the list of the Contractors
equipment, plant and machinery deployed in order to keep a check on the
Contractors mobilization and progress of works.
(iii) Ensure a system of Quality assurance of works, approve materials and source of
materials, review all bituminous mix designs, granular base and sub base courses job
mixes and concrete mix designs proposed by the contractor and approve/suggest
modifications in the mix design, laying methods, sampling and testing procedure and
2-2
quality control measure to ensure required standard and consistency in quality, at the
commencement of the activity.
However, the Team Leader shall perform the duties as mentioned but not limited to the
following:
(i) Assist Employer in proper monitoring of progress of works and implementation of
project.
(ii) Prepare and issue monthly and quarterly progress reports along with detailed quality
control test statement in an approved format and also prepare detailed contract
completion report
Other Responsibilities of the Engineer will be to carry out all such duties which are essential
for effective implementation of the construction contract.
Time is the essence of this contract. The consultants shall be more proactive and shall not sit
on administrative requirements/ literal meaning of the contract in following certain
procedures by the contractor. The role of the consultants shall be more of facilitating the
contractor to perform better without compromising on the quality of works.
The Consultants will outline norms and procedures to be applied for administration,
construction supervision and contract management of the project. A representative list of
forms and procedures can include:
Procedures for quality control;
Guidelines and forms for soils / materials testing;
Guidelines for evaluating Contractors work schedule;
Check lists for inspection;
Written interpretation of any of the specification and other contract documents which
are not explicitly clear;
Forms for recording site measurements;
Forms for processing the payments to be made;
Forms for construction records relating to labour and materials;

Guidelines for project record keeping and filing;
Guidelines and forms for conducting partial hand-over and final hand-over
inspections, etc.
Other responsibilities of the Consultant may include:
2-3
A copy of Quality Assurance Manual submitted by the construction contractor will be

reviewed before commencement of civil works.
Assist/advise Client for advance actions required to be taken for handing over of site
and in achieving different milestones/sections for completion of project as per
schedule.
To verify the quantities of all items in the BOQ and suggest modifications to the same
if necessary as per the prevailing site conditions, for the approval of the Client.
Assist Client in proper monitoring/progress of works and implementation of project
through computer aided project management system (PMS) and Management
Information System (MIS).
To write a day by day project dairy which shall record all events pertaining to the
admission of the contract, request from and orders given to the Contractor, any other
information which may at a later date be of assistance in resolving queries which may
arise concerning execution of the works.
Prepare and issue monthly and quarterly progress reports along with detailed quality
control test statement in an approved format and also prepare detailed contract
completion report.
To advise the Client on all matters relating to execution of the works, claims from the
Contractor and to make recommendations thereon, including the possible recourse to
arbitration.
To carry out any other duties relevant to the project agreed during the negotiations
2.4 Assignment of Staff Tasks
The assigning of specific tasks to all staff members of the designated organisation is to ensure
efficient and consistent carrying out of the Services in accordance with the devolution of
contractual responsibilities.
It should be noted that the definition and distribution of specific tasks for staff members was
based primarily on the Contract Agreements Terms of Reference requirements for specific
positions (and hence on the qualifications and experience of the individuals approved for
these positions). Specific levels of task responsibilities is structured to permit some
overlapping of task assignments (but not overlapping of the responsibility for that task) to
provide the opportunity for checking of task implementation by superiors, and to provide for
task sharing, as necessary, to meet works implementation requirements (e.g. when the
Contractor will have double work shifts, or when staff is unavailable due to sickness, holidays,
etc.). Task responsibilities are also established based on an attempt to divide the total work
effort required reasonably equally among the total staff available for the specific activity.
The entire staff is to be made aware that slight shifts in staff responsibilities will be necessary
throughout the conduct of the Contract, due largely to the changing nature of the type(s) and
volume(s) of works and related activities that occurs as the works progresses. Further, all
staff are to understand that a number of additional tasks, generally of a relatively limited or
short-term nature, will be assigned to individual staff during the course of the Contract. At
other times staff members will be drafted to assume temporary roles within their expertise
2-4
for tasks assumed by others that require additional input. This will generally result during
periods of high activity, including near the end of each month when reporting duties place
additional constraints on individual staff.
2.5 Correspondence Files

Control is to be exercised over all files to ensure that correspondence is not lost, damaged or
misplaced, to ensure that it can be readily located when required, and to ensure that it is
made available to only those authorized to view and/or make use of it.
All tasks related to filing, maintenance of files, file security, etc. are the responsibility of the
Document Controller. These files are maintained in a designated room/area that is secured
by a lock.
A Project cross-referencing system shall be adopted for the Project to ensure that all
correspondence is answered as required. This system is based on the timely and accurate
completion and updating by the Secretary and Office Manager of the Correspondence Cross-
Reference Log.
All outgoing correspondence is recorded on a standard Outgoing Mail Register book.
The Reference Number is sequentially numbered. For example, in the letter reference No.
TL/SHDP/P-01/2013/007:
1. TL indicates that the letter is written by the Team Leader
2. SHDP indicates that the letter is written to the Employer
3. P-01 indicates that the letter concerns Work Package P-01
4. 2013 indicates the year that the letter was written
5. 007 is the letter Number
Telephone Conversations
All relevant telephone conversations from or to construction supervision staff, the Employers
or Contractors Representative and which concerns the state or control of construction
activities, contractual matters, decisions or directions regarding construction procedures, or
any other aspect of the Project which has effected, or may effect the construction
implementation, etc., are to be recorded using written notes and treated as meetings as
described. This means the written document must contain all relevant details (e.g. time,
date, correspondents, message details, etc.), and be recorded in the relevant correspondence
logs. Copies of the written messages are to be made immediately to all relevant consultancy
staff, including the immediate supervisor, who may be interested in the issue discussed
during that telephone conversation. Telephone conversations with individuals and
organisations not directly contracted to the Project are to be dealt with as discussed in Sec.
below.
Contacts with Utilities Companies, Government Agencies and the Public
All contacts made with individuals and organisations not directly related to the Contractor or
the Employer are to be handled in a courteous manner. In all cases, except where public
knowledge information such as fax number or address is requested, the contacting individual
2-5
or organisation is to be referred immediately and directly to the Office Principal (Team Leader
or Engineer). Under no conditions is any staff member to provide contact related information
to outside contacts. As noted in Sec. above for telephone conversations, the results of all
significant contacts of this type are to be recorded in writing and filed in accordance with
established correspondence filing procedures.
2.6 Diaries
All technical Consultancy Site supervision staff, including professional, sub-professional and
field staff, are to complete and maintain daily diaries that record all relevant activities under
their responsibilities and supervision. Diaries are the most important part of record keeping
for construction supervision as it provides necessary details required for subsequent
resolution of problems, contractors claims, etc.
The format to be adopted for each diary varies from position-to-position, and for different
activities and responsibilities being carried out at the time for each position. Standard
formats are set by immediate supervisors, and are approved ultimately by the Team Leader
(for Project Office staff) and the Resident Engineer (for site supervision staff). In many cases,
however, standard formats are not required (e.g. for the Key Staff), and in these cases
appropriate entries can be entered into daily diaries in a sequential fashion.
These diaries are to be submitted regularly for review and assessment to immediate
supervisors. In addition, reviews by more senior staff are made periodically, depending on
the relative positions of the staff members, and the specific activities monitored.
2.7 Project Photographs and Videos

General
Project photographs and videos are to be taken by the Consultants according to the
Consultants agreement in order to document initial site conditions, to provide a pictorial
record of progress of the various stages/facets of the Works and to record issues-related
events. The types, subjects, numbers, etc. of the photographs and video compact discs are to
be in accordance with the situation.
Procedures
1. The Team Leader and other staff designated by the Team Leader will photograph
special features and construction related issues as they occur.
2. The Team Leader is to arrange to photograph and video the initial condition of the

be of the types that automatically record the date onto the photograph/video.
3. Photographs should be taken before and after with reference to some permanent
landmarks/reference points.
4. All negatives will be stored on hard disk in files (one folder per contract) in date order
2-6
5. All photographs will be stored on hard disk in files (one folder per Contract) in date

(DVD/CD number) of appropriate photographs and videos are to be included with
works orders, day works orders, etc. and recorded in the filing system.
7. Where applicable, records of relevant photographs and video discs are to be entered
against the appropriate item in the quantity/quality reports.
8. Team Leader and other designated staff, shall photograph events, special features and
issues as they occur to ensure photographic record.
9. A collection of relevant photographs are to be included in each of the Consultants
Monthly and Quarterly Progress Reports.
10. Where relevant, copies are to be made of specific videos and then edited and spliced
as necessary to provide visual aids for presentations etc.
Responsibilities
The Team Leader (PMC) Representative will:

3 CONTRACTUAL GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES

3.1 Construction Supervision Services
The Consultants Scope of Services is clearly detailed in the Terms of Reference (TOR), which
states that the SHDP will employ a Consultancy Firm to undertake supervision of the Civil
works and that the Consultant will appoint a Team Leader as defined in the Construction
Contract documents. In general, the Duties and Responsibilities of the Engineer can be
categorized as follows:
Principal Responsibilities of the Engineer
Other Responsibilities of the Engineer
According to the TOR, the Principal Responsibilities of the team leader will be, but not limited
to, the following:
i. Assist Employer in proper monitoring of progress of works and implementation
of project.
ii. Prepare and issue monthly and quarterly progress reports along with detailed
quality control test statement in an approved format and also prepare detailed
contract completion report
3.2 Contractors Works Programme

Based on deadlines specified in the Contract, the Contractor in accordance with Contract is
required, to submit a Works Programme to be approved by the Engineer that provides for
completion of the Works in accordance with these deadlines. Approval by the Engineer is
given based on completeness (i.e. includes all activities) and accuracy (activities are properly
sequenced) of the proposal, and on comparison of total output of the Contractors scheduled
mobilized equipment, with the types and actual quantities of works scheduled to be
completed, during each month of the specified construction period. An additional check is
made to ensure that outputs for relevant activities are reduced realistically during the
monsoon period.
Following approval of the initial Contractors Works Programme, the programme is revisited
periodically in order to appraise the need for changing the proposed scheduling of activities
to be in line with actual construction Progress. In cases where deviations from the proposed
schedule are significant enough to raise concern, with regards to the Contractors ability to
complete the works on time, the Contractor is to be required to provide an acceptable
revised program to catch-up and meet the original deadline requirements (e.g. he may need
to mobilize additional equipment, or work additional hours per week, etc.).
3.3 Consultants Programme of Services

Although the Consultant is required to meet specific deadlines for submittal of reports and
for promoting early commencement of the Works, for the day-to-day activities, the
Consultant is required to adjust his Programme of Services to meet the demand by the
Contractors Works Programme as it unfolds in real time. This need for the Consultant to be
ready and able to react efficiently and effectively to the day-to-day demands, resulting from
3-10
the Works activities, is the primary reason for ensuring that a suitable Construction
Supervision Manual is made available to, and used by, all Consultancy staff.
3.4 Issue of Engineering Design Drawings

General
The Engineering Design Drawings depicting the designs and scope of works are legal
documents which form an integral part of the Contract, and the Contractor is required to
perform the work in accordance with them. Sub-Clause on Care and Supply of Documents of
the Works Contract notes that, The Drawings and Specifications shall be in the custody and
care of the Employer(SHDP). Unless otherwise stated in the Contract, two copies of the
Contract and of each subsequent Drawing shall be supplied to the Contractor, who may make
or request further copies at the cost of the Contractor.
Consequently, to achieve proper administration of the Contract the transmittal of the
approved design drawings, and subsequently submitted drawings related to works and
dayworks orders, must be handled with circumspection and properly recorded at all stages
to avoid unnecessary disputes and claims.
Submission of Approved Design Drawings
1. The Supervision Consultant will review the Contract Drawings with regard to accuracy
and completeness, and will make recommendations to the Employer based on their
Terms of Reference regarding revisions, corrections, additions, etc. to be carried out
for the designs.
2. Following completion of the incorporation of any revisions together with any further
required drawings instructed by the Employer, the Employer is to approve the revised
drawings and issue them to the Team Leader for submittal to the Contractors. All
drawings are to be signed and transmitted officially.
3. The Contractor will then be issued with two (2) sets of approved construction
drawings which have been marked Good for Construction, signed and dated.
4. To expedite start of the work, the drawings may be issued in groups rather than as a
complete set, and / or only parts of specific drawings may be approved for
construction at any one time.
Works and Drawings
In allocating priorities for working drawing preparation, the following aspects are to be taken
into account:
A. Contractors approved construction program and construction sequence.
B. Delivery times for construction materials.
C. Fabrication times for manufactured items.
D. Any design work or shop drawings required from the Contractor.
Review, Revision and Recording of Drawings
3-11
The review, revision and control of the record-keeping of all Contract drawings are to be
carried out in accordance with the following guidelines:
a. The Senior Engineers will review the drawings and note any drawings inconsistent
with contractual obligations.
b. All drawings issued to the Contractor will first be checked by the Senior Engineers for
Variations implications from the Scope of Works or departures from the
Specifications. The results of this check will serve to initiate, if necessary, the
appropriate procedure for issue of a Variation Order and in such an event, will
report same to the Team Leader.
c. If necessary, the Team Leader will liaise with the Designer to ensure the Designer is
aware of any drawing that is inconsistent with the contractual obligations or that
may give rise to a variation. This will give the designer the opportunity to
reconsider or confirm the revised drawing prior to issue to the Contractor.
d. When any drawing is revised, copies of the revised drawings should be issued to the
Contractor with the revisions clearly marked.
e. After issue of drawings to the Contractor, the Planning Engineer in coordination with
the Senior Contract Specialist and Senior Quantity Surveyor will update the master
set of drawings and Drawings Issued Register.
3.5 Starting of the Works

After signing of the Contract, and issue of the Letter of Acceptance (LOA), the actual start of
the works activities can commence upon completion of the following:
The Engineer instructs the Contractor to Commence the Works.
The Employer gives the Contractor total or partial possession of the site.
The Engineer receives the Contractors notice for commencement of the physical
works of a particular section.
Commencement of Works
Upon receipt of the Notice to Commence Works from the Team Leader(PMC) as stipulated
under Commencement of Works of the Works Contract, the Contractor shall commence the
execution of the Works as soon as is reasonably practicable, and shall then proceed with the
Works with due expedition and without delay.
Possession of the Site
With the Team Leader giving the notice to the Contractor to Commence the Works, the
Employer has the responsibility for giving to the Contractor the extent of the portion(s) of the
Site as specified in the Contract Documents.
Commencement of the Physical Works
Construction activities can only start on-site upon receipt by the Team leader of a notice for
commencement of the physical works from the Contractor for commencement of a specific
Works activity.
3-12
Commencement of the Works-

1. Possession of the Site.
2. Provision of Insurance by the Contractor.
3. Approval by the Engineer of the Contractors quality management system, described
in a Quality Assurance Plan, with relevant details for works to be executed.
4. Approval of Contractors Equipment to be used in the requested works.
5. Approval of Contractors key personnel associated with the requested works activity
6. Approval of Contractors Detailed Work Programme for carrying out the Works..
7. Submission by Contractor and subsequent approval by the Team leader of Request
for Inspection Form (RFI) for the works activity proposed, and that it includes all
relevant details for requirements listed above.
It should be noted, however, that notice for commencement of works is all that is needed for
some of the basic initial activities related to Project start-up, such as Setting Out and
preliminary works of some of the structures for construction under the Contract.
3.6 Variation Orders

Purpose of a Variation Order
Variation Orders, covering changes and extra works, are used to change specific conditions of
the Construction Works Contract, including alterations, additions and deletions. Such
changes, which are made by the Engineer when, in his opinion, it is necessary for the proper
implementation of the Contract, are to be executed through Variation Order.
Examples of typical changes that may be accomplished by use of a Variation Order are:
1. To change contract documents, plans and / or specifications, including any
change in Item quantities, payment and contract time resulting there from.
2. To order extra work or to delete work and to specify the method and amount
of payment, including any changes in quantities and contract time resulting
there from.
3. To change contract time including any change in payment resulting there from.
4. To effect changes to the levels, positions and/or dimensions of any part of the
Works.
5. To effect payment after settlement of a claim.
All Items covered by an approved Variation Order are incorporated into the Contract. When
the Variation Order is signed by all Parties, its provisions and terms are equally binding upon
the Parties as is the Original Contract.
Preparation of a Variation Order
The initiation of Variation Orders may be made, at any time prior to issuing of the Taking-
Over Certificate, by either the Engineer or the Contractor. It may also be requested by the
3-13
Employer, if required, in which case the C.E/SHDP shall take appropriate actions for a
Variation Order in their behalf.
Payment of a Variation Order
a. Payment Under Existing Contract Items
Whenever new and unforeseen work is merely an extension of, or additional work of the
same character as that performed under an existing contract pay item, that work should be
done at the existing contract item unit price.
b. Payment at New Rate
New or unforeseen work that cannot be paid for under an existing contract pay item should
be paid for at a new rate. If agreement cannot be reached with the Contractor, Engineer has
the option of fixing a rate.
Consider the method of work and compensation carefully before preparation of a new rate.
Detail carefully the steps of the work to be performed and what forces the Contractor will
most probably use. Cooperative analysis with the Contractor is encouraged and is invaluable
in saving time and eliminating future difficulties.
A New Rate is determined by making a detailed estimate of the quantities and costs; this
should be prepared by the Quantity Surveyor and verified by the Team leader as reasonable.
This detailed estimate is made independently by the Quantity Surveyor using production
rates based on judgment and experience along with the Daywork rates, if applicable, as
provided in the Bill of Quantities (BOQ). Such an estimate should be used to confirm an
agreed or fixed rate or lump sum price established by the TL and/ or offered by the
Contractor.
Execution of Variation Order in an Emergency
There may be conditions where immediate approval of a Variation Order is necessary due to
an emergency. In such a case, oral approval of the V.O. should be obtained from KPWD/SHDP
and the work performed without delay. Thereafter the Variation Order should then be
processed at the earliest possible time.
Variation Order Processing Procedure
The following general procedure for processing of Variation Order shall be followed:
a. Once TL realizes the need for a V.O., a preliminary proposal may then be developed
from his end along with the details like justifications, drawings, quantity estimates,
financial implications etc., along with his recommendations.
b. He then submits the same to Team Leaders Office for further processing.
c. Team Leader and his Senior Staff review the said proposal,
d. Team Leader discusses the matter with Employer for their initial consent and
appreciation of the V.O. A draft V.O. is then prepared at Team Leaders office.
e. Draft V.O. sent to RE for review, comments, and discussion with Contractor.
f. Approved or corrected draft is returned for final typing and reproduction by RE.
g. Signing of finalized V.O. by RE, Contractor and Team Leader.
3-14
h. Submittal of Final V.O. to CPO, PIU, SHDP by the Team Leader for the Chief Engineers
signature.
i. Throughout this process the V.O. will be duly logged by RE on a status of Pending
Variation Order Form.
j. Upon SHDPs approval, copies of the V.O. are distributed by the Team Leader to all
concerned.
3.7 Contractors Claims

General
Every effort must be made by the CSC to avoid claims from the Contractor. However, in the
event that claims arise, procedures to be followed by the Contractor are included in Clause 20
of the Particular Conditions Part-B and the General Conditions of Contract.
Types of Claims
Claims generally fall into two basic categories; claims for extra payment and claims for
extension of time.
Claims by a Contractor usually arise from:
i. encountering adverse conditions or obstructions which could not
reasonably have been foreseen at the time of bidding,
ii. adverse situations of any sort which are beyond the Contractors control
and which result in delay of progress of the works and/or significant
increased cost to the Contractor.
The Contractor may provide details of a claim to the Engineer at any time (see specifics in
Contract Documents) after the event and during the time of the Project provided that he has,
within the time period specified, given written notice to the Engineer of his intention to make
a claim.
Notice of Intention to Claim
Prior to claims being formulated in detail, the General Conditions of Contract require the
Contractor to state within a certain time period his intention to claim. This intention should
take the form of a letter to the Engineer.
When submitting his Notice of Intention to Claim, the Contractor must include:
1. Number and title of the claim,
2. Section of the Contract under which the claim is made,
3. Brief explanation of the basis of the claim,
4. Effect of the claim may have on approved CPM scheduling of the works,
5. Approximate cost to the Project of the claim,
6. The start date of activities or conditions, etc. which are the cause of the claim.
3-15
All the above information is given without prejudice to the Contractors later formal
submission of the claim. It is the responsibility of the RE to advise the Team Leader
concerning the Contractors intention to claim and in coordination with the key staff to
comment on its substance.
Recording Relevant Details
When notice has been received of an intention to claim it is the duty of the TL/DTL and the
Contractor to record full details of all the facts and circumstances relevant to any matter that
may be the subject of the claim. Where agreement on facts cannot be reached, separate
records should be kept and reasons for disagreement carefully noted. Such records are
essential to both the Engineer and the Contractor for the subsequent adjudication and
settlement of the claim.
Formal Submission of a Claim
a. When formally submitting a claim to the Engineer, the Contractor must include:
b. Number and title of the claim including statement that this is a formal submission of
the claim,
c. Section of the contract under which the claim is made,
d. Full and detailed particulars of the basis for the claim. This must include a reasoned
argument from the Contractor together with all supporting evidence of facts and
circumstances,
e. Presentation of comprehensive analysis showing basis for any claim for time
extension,
f. Details of additional costs and expenses claimed,
g. A statement on whether or not the submitted claim is final, and if not, whether the
Contractor is requesting a payment on account.
3.8 Forecast Final Costs

The role of Consulting Engineers engaged in Construction Supervision includes not only the
checking of the quality and quantity of the Works performed by the Contractors, but also all
financial aspects associated with the implementation of the Contract. The Employer has
established a certain budget for each contract, and it is an integral part of the Consultants
responsibilities to control and monitor that budget, i.e. to make sure that actual expenses will
not go beyond that budget; or in case this happens, to anticipate and fully inform the
Employer.
In order to control the budget, an estimate of the Forecast Final Cost (FFC) of the Contract will
be produced every quarter. The Quantity Surveyor of every RE Office shall have the
responsibility, under the supervision of the respective team leader to produce such a
forecast.
The FFC will be established using information from the BOQ with the following to be added:
the works already completed by the Contractor and deemed to be paid and which
are known accurately,
3-16
and the works remaining to be completed which are mere estimates.

The addition of completed works and works to be completed will provide the Forecast Final
Cost.
3.9 Health and Safety

General
The Conditions of Contract state that the Contractor is responsible for the safety of all site
operations and methods of construction, for the safety of persons on site, and for the
installation of such facilities as will protect the Works, the public and the environment from
injury or damage.
As a Contract requirement, compliance with safety regulations is enforceable by Contract
administrative procedures as are all other specifications requirements.
Safety Officers
To fulfil his Contract commitments, the Contractor shall designate, from within his
organisation, an individual responsible for all safety measures, standards and procedures.
All Safety Coordinators (Contractor and Consultant) must be familiar with highway and bridge
construction procedures and equipment, safety standards and procedures, construction zone
traffic management and be able to recognize and to anticipate unsafe conditions created by
the Contractors operations. It is not intended that the Safety Coordinators carry the total
responsibilities for the monitoring of the construction safety activities, but rather (as the
name coordinator implies) he should lead in these activities. As such, his responsibilities
include the general education of all staff with regard to safety requirements, and the
motivation of all staff to think and to work cognizant of safety implications.
Safety Coordinators are required to submit to the Team leader, written reports for all
incidents involving accidents, as well as for any and all instances wherein the Contractors
construction procedures, faulty equipment, etc. are considered to pose unsafe conditions,
and where although informed of this unsafe condition the Contractor has not immediately
corrected the situation. All significant safety related activities and events are to be reported
as part of the Environmental Officers Monthly Report to the Team leader.
Workers Safety
It is required that the Workers safety be given deliberate attention throughout the duration
of the Contract. Safety discussions shall be documented in the Contract files, and should
cover at least the following items:
The Contractors Accident Prevention Program
A Code of Safe Practices
Insurance details as required by the Contract
Provision, use, regulations and training programs for the supply and wearing of hard
hats and other safety equipment.
Medical/Health Center (to be provided by the Contractor)
3-17
Emergency Procedures and contact details for reporting accidents and receiving
emergency medical attention and information.
Issuance of permits and/or inclusion of safety related guidelines/requirements in
approved works methodologies and/or Inspection Request Forms for commencement
of specific work activities. These are particularly required for high-risk activities such
as blasting operations, trench shoring, false work and scaffolding, pile driving, and for
work in confined spaces or high above the ground.
A record of all disabling or fatal accidents, and all instructions regarding safety (note:
all such accident reports and safety instructions are to be forwarded to the Team
Leader and Employer for their information and possible action).
Details of accidents are to be recorded by the Contractors Safety Officer. This Accident
Report shall be signed by Consultants Safety Coordinator and the TL.
It is to be noted that the Contractor is responsible for maintaining an orientation / training
program to assure that all personnel are acquainted with the basics of construction safety.
The frequency of the training is to be based on a minimum of one hour per employee per
year.
In administering this part of the Contract, the Team leader is required to see that the
Contractor properly provides for the safety of the workers. However, under no circumstances
should the Contractor be instructed orally or in writing on how to correct a deficiency. Any
condition considered to be unsafe should be identified, and any specific regulation that
applies to this condition, if known, should be noted.
Traffic Management
The Special Provisions to Specifications provides that, Two weeks before undertaking work
which would involve any obstruction whatsoever to traffic the Contractor shall submit, for the
Engineers approval, a traffic Control Plan; and the Plan shall include:
i. Drawings for any temporary diversions away from the existing carriageway.
ii. Details of the traffic management measures to be used where traffic will use part of
the existing carriageway; these shall include the traffic arrangements proposed to
be in place after the cessation of work each day.
The Traffic Control Plan shall conform to the typical arrangements shown in the road works
drawings, or as otherwise directed by the Engineer. Special consideration shall be given in the
preparation of the Traffic Control Plan to the safety of pedestrians and workers and
delineation of the roadway at night.
The Engineers written approval of the Traffic Control Plan, including any temporary
diversions, shall be obtained by the Contractor before any work is commenced.
The Contractor shall appoint a Safety Officer who shall have a day-to-day responsibility for
implementing and maintaining all safety measures.
The Environmental Management Plan is to be read along with this Clause.
Persistent breaches of the safety provisions by the Contractor and his employees shall
constitute a sufficient cause for actions and penalties.
3-18
Implementation by the Consultant of the above requirements is to be coordinated between

the Team leader and the Site Engineer (since he will coordinate approval of the Contractors
Request For Inspection (RFI) forms), with monitoring to be coordinated by the Safety
Coordinator (i.e. the Environmental Engineer). This organisation structure is adopted in
recognition that the design and approval of the Contractors Traffic Management programs
for specific works activities are best administered as part of the Contractors Methodology
and Approval Request Form proposals to be submitted for approval by the Team leader
prior to commencement of each Works activity.
The basic guidelines and procedures to be adopted by the relevant Consultants staff in
approving and administering the Contractors Traffic Management Programs are as follows:
1. The Contractor is to develop and attach to each RFIs a proposed program of Traffic
Management for each specific works activity.
2. In general, each Traffic Management proposal will consist of a narrative citing the
basic methodology and plan for control of traffic, the staffing and equipment for
effecting this plan, and the hours of the day for which this plan is to be implemented
(including any changes in plan due to night and/or rainy conditions, etc.). The
program should be accompanied by a suitable drawing, where appropriate, clearly
delineating the exact locations of all staff, signs, equipment, etc.
3. The Site Engineer, assisted where required by the Safety Coordinator or other
specified staff, is to review, and to recommend either: approval, approval subject
to (stipulated changes/additions) or rejection (reasons noted). All results of
reviews are to be transmitted to the officer administrating the RFI, and to the TL (who
will ultimately approve/disapprove the RFI).
4. An Approval Request Form is not to be approved if the Traffic Management Plan is
rejected.
5. Following approval of the RFI, the relevant field staff (e.g., the Field Engineer -
Highways) . are to ensure that:
All approved Traffic Management safety procedures (i.e. flagmen, signs,
barricades, lights, etc.) are in place, properly positioned, and operational prior
to commencement of the approved construction activities.
That field staff ensure that the Contractor maintains the approved Traffic
Management program, making any indicated changes for daytime/night-time
conditions, etc.
That the site engineer, Safety Coordinator and all other field staff monitor the
safety and effectiveness of the Traffic Management programme as
implemented, and make appropriate changes to this programme as warranted
by the conditions, and as indicated as the works activities progress. All
changes to the approved program are to be detailed in the daily dairies kept by
staff.
Particular care is to be exercised by the Contractor, and monitored by the
Consultant, during setting up and removal of the Traffic Management
Infrastructure prior to the start, and upon completion of the works activity.
3-19
6. Details regarding Traffic Management programme components that are found to be

particularly effective or ineffective are to be communicated to the Safety Coordinator for
assisting in the development and assessing of future Traffic Management proposals.

4 PROJECT MONITORING GUIDELINES & PROCEDURES

4.1 INTRODUCTION
SHDP has adopted the Backend Project Management System (PMS), a web based software for
monitoring of its construction work packages. The relevant details of the software application
are outlined below:
4.2 About Backend Project Management System (PMS)

Backend Project Management System or PMS is a fully integrated centralized web-based
enterprise level software solution for infrastructure project management comprising of
monitoring daily activities system, mobilising and demobilising staff and equipment
management system, planning management system, subcontractor management system,
contract administration system, store management system, equipment maintenance system,
tools and report generation. PMS helps to manage various infrastructure project resources by
integrating all business management functions. PMS helps to integrate all departments and
functions across a project into a single web based system that can serve different
departments' particular needs thereby helping various departments to easily share
information and communicate with each other.
Backend Project Management System is highly scalable and capable of enabling of the
application for multi-location sites user access over the internet and capable of integrating
with SMS delivery for enabling timely alerting on critical activities of the project and other
legacy applications or new modules that may be needed to develop at a later stage. The
application is equipped with a strongly encrypted security engine that has been fully
optimized and fine-tuned for maximising performance of the application. The application
encompasses a highly intuitive user interface and incorporates state-of-the-art design
methodologies.
Project Management System application is developed on latest cutting edge technology
covering all the functionalities and is capable of integration with Primavera, email exchange
server. The application provides a comprehensive set of MIS Reports and graphs both at
project level and project portfolio level.
Project Management System modules are also available for smartphones through Android
application.
4.3 Need for Backend Project Management System.

The key challenges for any organization in the context of project monitoring are
Obtaining the timely and accurate project progress data from the site.
Determining the data capture points, granularity of the data and the
frequency at which the data needs to be captured.
Deploying adequate number of skilled manpower having several years of
relevant domain expertise and rich experience in handling on-site operations
to obtain project data on a real-time basis.
The solution to these issues depends on the complexity of the project as well as the
information needs of the organisation. This challenge are resolved considerably by adopting
Backend PMS application which helps in strengthening the supervision team with a
4-21
comprehensive software tool that aids the best practices in the various business processes of
infrastructure Project management.
Backend Project Management System implementation helps in

Streamlining the business processes of infrastructure project management by
bringing in efficiency in the operational areas.
It provides the realistic, measurable and time benchmarked benefits.
It facilitates for better management of resources, reducing the cost of
operations and thus bringing down the processing mistakes.
It allows for improved planning at functional and process levels.
It helps for simultaneous activation of the decision centres because of instant
triggers or updates.
It offers for Business operation transparency between business partners
cutting down the execution time of critical business operations.
It provides efficiency and accountability in the entire project life cycle.
4.4 Information Flow in PMS

Backend Project Management System is hosted on the server for Project Monitoring. Various
Project Sites connect to the Backend Project Management System and update the project
progress on a regular interval. Sites where Internet connectivity is not available can update
the project progress with the help of SMS through mobile phones. Sites having internet
connectivity can update the project progress directly through the web based PMS software.
4.5 Technology used for building PMS Application

PMS application is designed on DotNet framework and uses Microsoft SQL Server Database.
DotNet is a software platform through which software programmers write programs for
development of application.

5 QUALITY CONTROL GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES

5.1 General
Works are to be constructed strictly in accordance with the Contract requirements:
- By ensuring that the construction works are in accordance with the technical
specifications.
- By following Quality Control standards to ensure the required consistency in quality.
- By monitoring and checking the day to day quality of the Works.
The basis for the Consultant to ensure the quality of the works is:
Implementation of the Quality Assurance Plan guidelines
Strict adherence to guidelines for approval of quarries and borrow areas, and all
construction materials
Controlled sampling of materials for testing
Establishment and maintenance of a fully equipped Field Testing Laboratory in
accordance with Specifications and implementation of standard procedures for
sample preparation, testing and analyzing and reporting testing results.
Implementation of an appropriate Acceptance Testing program of the completed
works in accordance with the Specifications and Contract requirements.
5.2 Approval of Quarries and Borrow Areas

The Contractor is to obtain approval from the Materials Engineer through the Team Leader
for each Quarry and Borrow Area to be used in the works prior to commencement of
quarrying and/or borrow area excavation activities. The primary considerations to be
considered by the Engineer in granting approval are:
The proposed materials meet specification requirements.
The Contractor has legal approval by the owner to excavate/remove materials from
the proposed quarry / borrow area.
The Contractor submits an acceptable Environmental Management Plan for use and
closing down of the proposed quarry / borrow area, together with any other approvals
or documents that may be required from the Ministry of Environment and Forests or
other concerned authorities.
The steps to be followed for approval of each Quarry / Borrow Area:
1. The Contractor is to give the details regarding size, location, orientation and access for
the proposed quarry / borrow area (rough map to be drawn). Also to be included are
the list of materials to be sourced for the Works (e.g. embankment, GSB, WMM, etc.),
and the estimated quantities for these materials.
5-41
2. The results of laboratory tests conducted on the materials jointly sampled with the
Consultants QC Engineer (or his designated representative) are to be summarized on
the approval form, and complete copies of all tests are to be attached to the form.
3. The Contractor is to attach to the completed Materials Sources Data form, a letter,
or some other form of written acknowledgement, that indicates that the owner of the
quarry / borrow area agrees to the Contractor removing the proposed types and
quantities of materials indicated in the form.
4. The Contractor attaches to the completed Materials Sources Data form, his
proposed Environmental Management Plan for development, use and closing down
of the proposed quarry / borrow area. Photographs of the source site, including
access roads, etc., should be included with the proposal so that the base line
conditions of the quarry/borrow area to be excavated can be clearly established.
5. Following receipt of the proposal for approval of quarry (s) / borrow area(s), the Team
Leader is to dispatch a team consisting of the Environmental Officer and Materials
Engineer to inspect the proposed site, who will then report on their findings to the
Team Leader.
6. Based on the Contractors proposal, and on the site inspection teams comments, the
Team Leader will within one week after receipt of the proposal reply to the Contractor
in accordance with the one of the following:
The proposed Quarry / Borrow Area is approved as proposed.
The proposed Quarry / Borrow Area is approved subject to one or more
required changes/additions/etc. (to be detailed by the Team Leader).
The Contractor is requested to revise and resubmit all or part of the proposal
submittal, giving details of required changes, additional requirements, etc.
The proposed Quarry / Borrow Area is rejected.
A. Selection of area:
Borrow Areas not to be within the Project Right-of-Way.
Borrow Areas preferred in non-productive, barren lands, raised lands, waste
lands, etc.
Borrow Areas to be located on agricultural land should first have the top 150
mm minimum removed and stockpiled. The stockpiled topsoil is to be
replaced and spread over the original area after excavation for borrow is
completed.
For quarry areas, particular care is to be taken to ensure that testing (and
approval) is given for only areas to be indicated on the plan for which the
materials have homogeneous properties. Similarly, the depth and extent of
overburden to be removed prior to quarrying is to be accurately measured and
clearly indicated.
B. Transport of Materials:

All movements and access of equipment to be stationed in the designated area

are to cause minimum compaction of the soil (in critical areas / situations, the
Engineer may require that all such equipment have tracks rather than wheels).
All transport vehicles are to be covered and have adequate covers, sides and
tailgates to prevent spillage of materials.
All transport vehicles are to select appropriate routes and delivery times, and
are to adopt safe driving habits so as to ensure the minimum of inconvenience
to affected village inhabitants, and to reduce accident potential. The
Contractor is responsible for the repair/maintenance of all roads and facilities
damaged by his transport equipment.
C. Development / Redevelopment of Borrow Pits and Quarries
Both during and following completion of the excavation activities in the
borrow areas, the Engineer, together with the Environmental Officer, are to
inspect the areas to ensure that the borrow pits and access roads are properly
graded and drained to ensure minimum erosion, and to prevent run-off from
either collecting or from damaging adjacent properties. All existing trees
within the boundary of the quarry/borrow area should be preserved and
protected.
Temporary stockpiles of blasted quarry materials and borrow area soils are to
be located so as to ensure smooth flow of traffic within the area and for access
to main roads, and are to be designed so as to minimize contamination and
damage from rainfall/run-off, etc.
Borrow Areas (except in cases where the landowner has agreed that the
borrow pit is to be excavated so as to form an appropriate pond for
agricultural purposes), will be redeveloped by filling and providing 150 mm.
thick layer of preserved topsoil. The Contractor is to also replace any
vegetation removed.
The Material Engineer and other consultancy field staff are to continue to
monitor the quarry/borrow materials both by periodic sampling and testing of
the materials as well as by visual assessment. As soon as tests indicate any
significant change in a materials property, or if a change is suspected visually,
then the material properties are to be verified by testing and if the variation(s)
is considered to be significant then a new application for approval of source
must be lodged, and the above procedure repeated.
It is to be noted that all field activities for the above are not to commence until appropriate
RFIs are completed, submitted and approved.
5.3 Approval of Materials

All materials proposed by the Contractor to be used in the Works are to first be approved. In
general, there are four types of materials to be approved:
5-43
1. Natural Materials - materials with little or no processing except for perhaps screening
for oversize and removal of unsuitable particles, etc. An example of this is soil
embankment materials.
2. Processed Materials materials that require significant processing, including removal
of unsuitable particles, crushing, screening and, perhaps, blending of sizes. These
materials are homogeneous, but with specified gradations. An example of this is Wet
Mixed Macadam Base Course.
3. Manufactured Materials specialty homogeneous construction materials, like
Portland cement and asphalt cement, that are used for blending with natural
materials (generally soil-aggregate) to obtain a suitable grading.
4. Designed Materials materials that involve the mixture, to specific proportions, of
two or more different natural, processed or manufactured materials to obtain a
modified material giving a set of desired specific properties. An example of this is
SDBC, DBM and Concrete Design Mixes.
Approval of each of the above material types is required, however the requirements for
obtaining approval of materials for each type differs slightly.
Approval of Natural Materials
Natural materials are mined (i.e. excavated) and hence the first step, following assurance that
the material(s) is acceptable for its intended purpose, is to obtain approval for the Borrow
Area or Quarry.
Approval of the material for construction is then obtained by submission of test results for all
tests required by the Specifications (i.e. to prove that the material meets all minimum
properties required), and, in some cases, by construction of trial sections to prove that this
material can be placed in the field so as to attain minimum required field properties (e.g. to
meet minimum density, etc.).
Approval of Processed Materials
Approval of processed materials follows that noted above for natural materials, except that
usually the specifications are tighter (e.g. the material may also have to meet stringent
gradation limits), and a greater variety of tests (and production / storage) conditions are
required to be met.
Approval of Manufactured Materials
Approval of manufactured materials, based on specific Specification requirements, is
generally given in two stages:
Initial Approval given prior to receipt of the materials based on submittal of
appropriate test results, etc. confirmed by the manufacturers certificates (note that
claims by manufacturers, or tests, etc. by distributors, etc. are not to be accepted).
Final Approval given based on initial approval plus positive results being obtained for
all acceptance tests required by the Specifications, and after a visit to the Plant
where the materials are sourced, by representative(s) from the Consultant.
Approval of Designed Materials
5-44
Approval of designed materials for the present Project concerns those mix designs for
Portland Cement Concrete (for concrete pavements, box culverts, bridges, etc.) and Asphaltic
Concrete (flexible pavement materials including bituminous macadam, dense bituminous
macadam, bituminous concrete, mixed seal surfacing, semi dense bituminous concrete and
seal coat). Due to the complexity of these mixed materials, and the plants for producing
the range of material sizes, final approval is deferred until completion of the following steps:
1. Approval of sources (generally quarries) for each of the processed material
constituents to be included in the final mix design.
2. Approval of each of the individual processed materials and manufactured materials to
be included in the final mix design.
3. Tentative approval of a laboratory based mix design, based on a mixture of approved
materials so that the mixture meets all Specification requirements.
4. Tentative approval of a plant mix design, based on proportioning of aggregate bins
materials and manufactured materials to closely approximate the proportioning of
material types/sizes finalized for the laboratory based mix design (i.e. and so that the
mixture still meets the minimum Specifications requirements).
5. Conduct trial section of works (off the work site) using the tentatively approved plant
mix design and placing the mixture in accordance with a previously approved
construction methodology that conforms to Specifications requirements.
6. Based on successful laying of the mixture in accordance to the approved
Methodology, conformance of the placed mixture to required placing temperatures,
levels and finish, etc., and conformance to quality control requirements as verified by
successful testing in accordance with the Specifications, the Materials Engineer is to
give final approval of the mix design based on the plant mix proportions.
Revocation (Withdrawal) of Materials Approvals
Following approval of the job mixture (i.e. the job mix formula), the Q.C Engineer, and all field
support staff are to continue to monitor both the test results and the visual characteristics of
the approved mix as placed to identify at an early stage any significant change in the mix
design that may adversely influence the adherence of the approved mix design to the
Specifications. A new mix design (or adjustment of the plant proportioning of materials to re-
establish the approved job mix formula) will be required when it is observed that significant
changes in the mix design properties are causing the mixture to no longer meet all
Specification requirements. In addition, a new mix design will be required when either the
approval of a material source or approval of one of the materials is revoked (i.e. withdrawn).
Reporting and Recording Materials Approvals
The Materials Engineer is to notify in writing the Team Leader and the Deputy Team Leader
(and the Contractor through the Team Leader) each time a new source, material and/or mix
design is either approved or the approval is revoked. This information is to be included in the
Monthly Quality Control Report to be submitted with the Monthly Progress Report.
5-45
Records are to be kept by the Materials Engineer giving current approvals of all Borrow Areas,
Quarries, Materials (all types) and Mix Designs for all BOQ items. These current summaries
are to be included as part of the Monthly Quality Control Report.
5.4 Sampling for Testing

Sampling Requirements
All construction materials to be used in the permanent works are to be sampled jointly by the
Consultant and Contractor prior to commencement of the Works. This includes sampling for
materials to be tested for proposing approval of the material source as well as sampling of
materials for approval of the individual construction materials. In both cases, and for each
instance, the Contractor must give notification of a request for such sampling to the
Consultant in advance (minimum 48 hours) by way of the RFI. All assistance (e.g. sampling
instruments and equipment, sample bags, and labor, etc.) that is required for carrying out the
sampling activities are to be provided by the Contractor. For sampling activities, the
Consultant is to be represented by the Material Engineer or his appointee.
Sampling Guidelines
All sampling is to be carried out in accordance with instructions to be given by the Consultant.
Sampling procedures are to follow recognized guidelines of good engineering practice. These
include:
Obtaining samples from at least three areas.
Ensuring that the sampled materials and locations are typical for the material to be
tested.
Ensure that all overburden, etc. is removed prior to commencement of the sampling.
All samples from stockpiles are to be taken from within the stockpile rather than from
the surface (top, side or base of the stockpile) in order to avoid the collection of
segregated materials.
Ensure that sufficient quantities are sampled to enable all tests to be conducted, plus
additional material, to be stored, for subsequent testing if required.
Ensure that each sample bag is marked / labelled both inside and outside, giving the
sample number, material type, sample location, date, and number of the bag, as well
as any additional information instructed by the Q.C Engineer or his appointee.
Preparation and Storage of Samples
Samples collected are reduced and prepared as per Indian Standards (IS) methods, with an
additional sufficient quantity retained in appropriately sealed bag(s) or container(s) and
separately kept in the sample storage room of the laboratory for additional testing and/or
future reference as required. Concrete samples in particular are to be carefully cured and
kept in the curing tank of the laboratory. Access to stored samples is under the strict direct
control of the Consultants Q.C Engineer. Details of all samples stored are to be kept in a
Material Sample Log to be administered by the Q.C Engineer.
5-46
5.5 Setting up of Field laboratory

Clause 121 of MORT&H lay down that the contractor is to set a field Laboratory. It is to
include office space and a store for storage of material. The remaining space is to be provided
for the installation of equipment, laboratory tables and cupboards, working space for carrying
out various laboratory tests, besides a wash basin, toilet facility and a curing tank for curing of
samples, around 4m x 2m x 1m in size and a fume chamber. The laboratory must also include
including one table, three chairs, one steel Almirah depending on the number of senior
Engineers. Wooden /concrete working table with a working platform area of about 1m x 10m
is to be provided against the walls, also providing wooden cupboards above and below the
working tables to store accessories such as sample moulds etc. At least 4 racks of slotted
angles and MS sheets and at least 6 stools for laboratory test operation are also to be
provided.
Equipping the laboratory with adequate equipment and personnel
The contractor is required to provide minimum laboratory equipment list below. The
system requires that both the Contractor and PMC have technicians who are competent
in testing and inspection of the work. The primary role of Lab Technicians is to carryout
sampling and testing of materials.

5.8 Field Testing Laboratory

The Field Testing Laboratory, including all furniture, testing equipment and apparatus as
required by the Specifications is to be provided and maintained by the Contractor together
with the provision of all necessary utilities (e.g. electricity, water, sewerage and drainage.
The design and layout of the laboratory is to be approved by the Team Leader based on
recommendations by the Q.C Engineer. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that
the laboratory is proficiently guarded at all times of the day and night (i.e. to control access
and maintain security), is cleaned daily and is properly maintained.
Testing equipment and apparatus are to be initially approved, and subsequently periodically
checked, by the Consultant to assure proper operation, accuracy, correct calibration and
complete conformance to all Specifications requirements. Likewise, all testing procedures
5-50
detailed in the Specifications and procedures instructed by the Q.C Engineer as part of his
Quality Control and Quality Assurance Plan are to be strictly adhered to by the Contractor.
The Consultant is to supervise, monitor and check all aspects of the testing procedures,
including sample storage, preparation, testing and analysis and reporting of testing results to
ensure laboratory capability. All relevant material testing details related to sample
preparation, testing and analysis of results are to be recorded on the relevant standard
testing form(s).
Compliance Testing
General
All materials included in the construction Works for which quality control tests are specified,
and for which approval by the Engineer has been previously given, are to be inspected and
checked for acceptability in accordance with the Specifications requirements. Any of the
completed construction Works in which unapproved and/or untested and/or unaccepted
materials are incorporated without approval or written permission from the Consultant are
deemed performed at the contractors risk and are considered as unacceptable and
unauthorized.
During the Progress of work, if any latent physical conditions shall exist at site (i.e.,
occurrence of black cotton soils or any other materials greatly differing from those specified
in the Contract) which might have been unforeseen during the conduct of detailed
engineering shall be informed by the Contractor in writing to the Team Leader.
The Construction Supervision through the Team Leader will officially inform the Employer of
the supervening conditions that has arisen after the results obtained from all test parameters
have been confirmed by the Site Engineer at Site and validated by the Sr. Q.C Engineer.
Detailed procedures in the conduct of tests shall however be in accordance to the minimum
Testing Requirements of the MOST specifications.
Routine Compliance Tests
All sampling and quality control testing, as well as all check tests to verify quality of materials,
are to be conducted by the Contractor at his own expense under the direct supervision of the
Consultant. The kind(s) of test(s) and frequency of testing should conform to the Minimum
Quality Control Testing Requirements of the MORTH Specifications. Sampling and Testing
should be in accordance with the relevant IS methods.
Additional / Special Tests
Contract notes that the Contractor will be responsible for the cost of additional tests if the
test shows that the materials, plant or workmanship not to be in accordance with the
provisions of the Contract.
Special tests are generally ordered by the Engineer when there is some concern with some
aspect of the routine compliance tests (e.g. sampling technique, sample contamination,
testing equipment problem, operator error, etc.). Based on the above, the following
procedure is to be adopted for special testing:
5-51
a. Identify routine testing concern and request agreement from the Q.C Engineer and
the Team Leader that a special test is required.
b. Identify what/how/where/when the special test is to be conducted:
i. By the Contractor within the Field Laboratory
ii. By the internal independent testing (i.e. by the Consultant within the Field
Laboratory).
iii. By external independent testing
c. Obtain approval of the Employer for making the special test
d. Following implementation of any relevant actions indicated based on the results of
the special test, record the test results (see Sec. 7.6.2), and also include the results as
part of the Quality Control Test Statement to be submitted with, and as part of, the
Consultants Monthly and Quarterly Progress Reports (see Sec. 7.7 below).
5.9 Quality Control Test Statement (Monthly Progress Report)

In accordance with the Consultants Contract Agreement, and standard Construction
Supervision practice, the list of laboratory test results completed during the month, and their
statistical interpretations, are to be included as an integral part of each of the Consultants
Monthly Progress Report to be submitted to the Employer. This summary of field and
laboratory test results is referred to as a Quality Control Test Statement, and is to include the
following:

6 WORKS SUPERVISION GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES

6.1 Construction Methodologies
General
Prior to the commencement of each important item of work can be approved, the Contractor is
required to submit for approval by the Team leader a detailed Methodology as to how he
plans to carry out that activity in accordance to the Contract requirements. For the present
Project, all items of works that involve construction quantities, and all activities that are other
than standard operating procedures, are to be considered as important.
Approval of Methodologies
The size, extent and detail required to be considered in development of (and hence approval of)
a specific Methodology for an important item of work depends on a number of factors
including:
The intrinsic simplicity (or degree of complication) of the operations for carrying out the
proposed construction activity.
The number and type of factors that may vary during implementation of the activity, and
the extent to which these variables can be controlled.
The extent and detail to which the methodology for implementing the activity is detailed
in the Specifications.
The severity of problems anticipated should difficulties arise during works
implementation due to lack of an approved detailed methodology being in place.
6.2 Works Requests and Request for Inspections (RFIs)

Submission of Request For Inspections (RFIs)
All of the Contractors construction activities and construction surveys will be inspected, checked
and monitored through the use of the RFI.
Before beginning any construction activity involving a pay item in the Contract Bill of Quantities
(BOQ) or to request a Survey check, etc., the Contractor must submit an RFI in triplicate, 48
hours prior to begin such an activity. The TL keeps one copy and forwards the original and one
copy to the appropriate Field Engineer. Submission of an RFI must be made in advance of the
time that the Contractor plans to begin work on the subject activity. RFI subject activities are:
clearing & grubbing, excavation, embankment, base course, bituminous works/cement concrete
pavement, rebar, structural concrete, any construction survey, etc. Work on any item for which
payment is involved must be preceded by an Approval RFI submitted by the Contractor.
Processing of Approval for RFIs
Upon receipt of an RFI, the Team leader, through his designated staff, will conduct all necessary
inspections and checks required to determine if the subject activity may proceed at the time and
place requested in the RFI by the Contractor. The TL is also to ensure that all pertinent plans,
working drawings and specifications have been complied with, and that all necessary
preparatory work that the field engineer may request, and any required testing/survey to be
done by the Materials Engineer/Survey Engineer before and/or during the subject activity is
6-59
properly considered. Any request for testing/survey to be accomplished by the Field Engineer is
noted in writing and submitted with/on the copy of the subject RFI on which he writes the
tests/survey required. This request is submitted to the TL who in turn forwards it to the
Materials Engineer/Survey Engineer a minimum of 48 hours in advance (to provide additional
advance time as required). The Quality control Engineer will advise the TL if other tests are
required in additional to those requested.
Upon receipt from the Materials Engineer/Survey Engineer of test/survey results, the TL, in
consultation with the Field Engineer, will mark Approved or Disapproved on the RFI, and
return the RFI executed original plus one copy to the Contractor. This returned RFI will contain
the results of inspections and testing/surveys, and state whether or not the Contractor may
proceed with the subject construction activity. It is very important to impress upon the
Contractor that no work may proceed until the covering RFI is both approved by the TL and
returned officially to the Contractor.
If the TL disapproves an RFI, the Contractor will be informed on the returned RFI of the reasons
for disapproval. After performing any necessary remedial work, the Contractor must submit
another RFI (marked Resubmission) for the same subject construction activity and the above
RFI procedure starts again.
During the time that work on an approved RFI subject activity is proceeding, the Contractor shall
keep a copy of the RFI at the subject activity work site for reference and checking of any
Consultant or Client staff.
Upon completion of the works, the Consultant checks to ensure that the works are in
accordance to the drawings and specifications, etc., but also in accordance with the RFI. The
team leader will advise the Engineers Representative and the Contractor of any work not in
accordance with the approved drawings, works orders, day works orders, etc.
All changes to the drawings resulted from approved works are to be added to the drawings
under the team leaders supervision by the relevant designated site engineering staff. The team
leader/deputy team leader will retain a complete set of drawings on which changes are marked
in red.
Approved RFIs reports received from the Contractor are checked by the TL/DTL and if necessary
modified by the Contractor. When found to be correct, the TL arranges:
the work done to be recorded in the Project Records
the item details (road section, culvert, etc.) to be updated in the project record to
show the work done.
Once the records are updated, a copy of the relevant data (and relevant map sections) is
attached to the works order, dayworks order, etc.
The completed works order, dayworks order, etc., the work done report, test results for the
work done and measurement of work records are then combined with the original work design
sheets and records. These constitute a complete record of the work done and is signed off by the
Team leader as completed.
Responsibilities:
The Contractor is responsible for preparation and submission of the RFI, and correction,
as necessary, in accordance with the TL/DTL comments.
6-60
The TL/DTL is responsible for assessing and approving the works order, day works order,
etc., and is responsible for ensuring all information for the work done is correctly
recorded, collated and filed.
The QC Engineer is responsible for monitoring, checking and collection of all quality
control testing results for attachment to the records.
The Quantity Control Engineer is responsible for updating the records in line with the
work done reports supplied by the site Engineers.
Where required, the Draftsman is responsible for preparing the changed final set of
work-as-executed drawings.
Comments on Request For Inspection Forms
It is important for all staff to understand the following points concerning use of the RFI:
1. Approval by the TL/DTL of an RFI is not intended, nor is it to be interpreted, as written
acceptance of any of the Contractors previously completed work. No written
acceptance of any work will be given to the Contractor until such time that the Projects
Substantially Complete document is executed. In other words, throughout the
duration of the construction of the Project, all of the Contractors work is subject at all
times to the Engineers and the Clients further inspection and review.
2. The field engineer decisions concerning the work and his recommendations on an RFI are
subject to review, and if necessary to correction, by the Team Leader and (where
relevant) the Employer.
3. The subject construction (or survey) activity of an RFI must be limited to a single activity
so as to simplify inspection, testing, survey and control. If the Contractor submits an RFI
with more than one activity it should be immediately returned to the Contractor for
resubmission in single activity format.
4. It is the Contractors responsibility to keep sufficient RFI forms on hand and to plan his
construction activities so as to allow sufficient time the field engineer/QC
Engineer/Survey Engineer to inspect, test and survey without disrupting the Contractors
approved construction schedule.
In addition to the use of an RFI as discussed above, the Contractor must also submit an RFI for
approval of storage, quantity, quality, cost, etc. of construction materials for which he intends to
submit for payment as materials Stored on Site (before incorporation into the Works) in his
Interim Certificate. The Contractor must submit any such RFI for materials Stored on Site a
minimum of six days before he submits his draft Interim Certificate so as to allow the TL/DTL
field engineers sufficient time for necessary inspection and gathering of required
documentation.
6.3 Dayworks Requests (Orders)

The contract provides, For work of a minor or incidental nature, the Engineer may instruct that
a Variation shall be executed on a Daywork basis. The work shall then be valued in accordance
with the Daywork Schedule included in the contract, and the following procedure shall apply.
Before ordering Goods for the work, the Contractor shall submit quotations to the Engineer.
When applying for payment, the Contractor shall submit invoices, vouchers and accounts or
receipts for any goods.
6-61
Except for any items for which the Daywork Schedule specifies that payment is not due, the
Contractor shall deliver each day to the Engineer accurate statements in duplicate which shall
include the following details of the resources used in executing the previous days work:
(a) the names, occupations and time of Contractors Personnel,
(b) the identification, type and time of Contractors Equipment and Temporary Works, and
(c) the quantities and types of Plants and Materials used.
One copy of each statement will, if correct, or when agreed, be signed by the Engineer and
returned to the Contractor. The contractor shall then submit priced statements of these
resources to the Engineer, prior to their inclusion in the next statement [Application for Interim
Payment Certificates].
The TL/DTL is expected to make recommendations for Daywork if the need arises, but no work
should be authorized by TL/DTL until a Variation Order has been executed, through the Engineer.
The power to order Daywork is not delegated to the TL/DTL.
6.4 Site Instructions (Instructions to Contractors)

All Site Instructions (SI) will be written to the Contractor on the proper form approved by the
Engineer. Time is critical in the use of SIs; hence, they should be used sparingly by the Team
Leader for matters requiring immediate action by the Contractor.
Proper use of a SI may be in connection with:
- Safety violation,
- Instructions requiring immediate action by the contractor,
- Rejection of unsatisfactory workmanship and/or materials,
- Order for cessation of work issued with prior approval of the Team Leader and/or the SHDP
Cessation of work orders in emergencies may be issued immediately by the D.TL,
Receipt of an SI must be acknowledged on the SI form by the signature of an authorized
Contractor field supervisor placed on the original and the Engineers copy.
6.5 Contractor Produced Drawings

The Contractor is required to produce the following types of drawings during the course of the
Contract:
1. Construction Drawings / Working Drawings Specifications stipulates, The drawings
provided with the Tender Documents shall be the contract drawings according to which
the works are to be executed and completed unless otherwise modified by the
Engineer during the course of the work.
On the basis of Tender Drawings, the Contractor shall prepare 4 sets of Detailed Construction
Drawings / Working Drawings with necessary field / construction information and shall submit
the same to the Engineer for approval along with construction methodology at least 21 days in
advance of the scheduled date of the start of activity.
2. As-built Drawings Drawings produced by the Contractor of the completed works
actually constructed, a vital requirement prior to issuance by Engineer of the Taking Over
Certificate. [Taking Over of the Works and Sections] of the Particular Conditions provides
6-62
that Before the Works are taken over in accordance with this Clause, the Contractor
shall supply all drawings as appropriate of the Work As-Built. Unless otherwise agreed,
the Work shall not be considered to be completed for the purpose of Taking Over until
such drawings have been approved by the Engineer and submitted to the Employer.
Purpose of Contractors Drawings/Records
As-built drawings and associated records provide the primary basis for recording the work
covered by drawings, works orders, dayworks orders, etc. as actually completed. These provide
the background information necessary for establishing the types and locations of works carried
out, the date(s) during which these works were implemented, the quantities of works carried
out and completed, and the details required to define, clarify and quantify variation orders and
Contractor claims.
Survey
The Contractor shall set out the centre line of the designed alignment, take profile and cross
sections as required at specified intervals and at intermediate points where marked changes in
the design alignment and existing terrain occur. The sequence of the filed survey is outlined as
follows:
a. Review plans, typical sections, drawing standard details.
b. A pre-survey meeting shall be arranged with the Team Leader/Deputy
c. Team leader/Deputy Team Leader, Site Engineer, Survey Engineer, and Quantity
Surveyor to approve the Contractors proposed method and time schedule for the as-
staked survey.
d. In case of Up-gradation packages, Contractor to perform verification survey of
existing monuments and control reference points for horizontal and vertical controls,
re-establish monuments where necessary.
e. Horizontal control and monuments
f. Vertical control and monuments
g. Reference Points
h. Initial centreline and original ground
i. Centreline grade interval
j. Cross stationing
k. Utility description, agency and location
l. Right of Way Obstructions
m. Field Book Documentation

Consultants Survey Engineer. The original shall be retained by the Resident Engineer, and one
copy shall be made and submitted as part of the As-Staked Survey.
Contractors Construction / Working Drawings
Working drawings are to be sent directly to the T.Ls Office by the Contractor, and will be
processed according to the following steps:
6-63
1. The Contractor is to submit to the Consultant four (4) prints of each shop drawing to be
reviewed for approval. Each print is to be stamped (or marked) by the Contractor with
PRELIMINARY ONLY.
2. Upon receipt by the Consultant, the transmittal will be opened, the date of receipt
stamped on each copy, and 2 of the 4 copies are to be retained by the the TL, one (1)
copy is to be filed, and one (1) is to be transmitted as an advance copy to Team Leaders
Office
3. The TL will distribute his copies of the drawings to the most relevant Engineer(s) who,
following any on-site inspection, etc. that may be considered necessary, will review the
drawings in coordination with other supervision staff, as required, before submittal of his
findings and recommendations to the TL.
4. The TL will then file one of the marked-up copies and return the other to the Contractor
together with a letter of transmittal that is to detail changes, etc. to be incorporated into
the drawings, and any other comments that are considered necessary for explaining the
marked-up drawings.
5. Meanwhile, the Senior Engineers concerned at the Team Leaders Office reviews the copy
of the preliminary drawings submitted by Contractor. Any comments on the drawings
shall be indicated accordingly and informed to TLs Office officially for incorporation in
the drawings to be finalized by the Contractor.
6. After incorporation of comments from the Team Leaders Office, along with his offices
comments, TL then return a copy of the commented / corrected preliminary drawing to
the Contractor for their modification of the same. Thereafter the Contractor is to re-
commence the submittal procedure as detailed in step 1 above.
7. After the Contractors Construction / Working Drawing(s) have been signed and
approved by the TL, the drawings will be marked / stamped Approved for Construction
and be returned to the Contractor for implementation. A copy of it shall be retained at
his office and one (1) copy shall be furnished to the Team Leaders Office for records.
8. After checking and approving of the Implementation of the works, the TL will record the
drawings for subsequent incorporation into the as-built drawings.
6.6 As-built Drawings

The Approved As-Built Documentation when submitted to the Employer shall include, but not be
limited to the following finalised documents:
Plan and Profile drawings.
Cross-Sections drawings.
Minor road intersections drawings.
Bridge drawings.
Reinforced Concrete Box Culverts, and Reinforced Concrete Pipe Culverts Drawing.
Field Survey Books.
Quantity Calculations.
Bill of Quantities.
6-64
Itemized Cost of Revision.

Variation Orders Change Order No.xx.
Description and justification for major changes in quantities.
Photograph report showing changed site conditions.
In the event that the as-built procedure identifies extra work items, and or significant changes in
the original design, these are to form part of a design review which will be discussed with the
Employer, and may, or may not, form part of the initial change order.
The following guidelines provide guidance in the presentation of plans produced for As-
constructed (As-Built) Drawings:
a. All sheets in a set of plans should be uniform in size (e.g. 594 mm x 841 mm). All
drawings are to be trimmed to the margin sizes.
b. All plans must be drawn on high quality durable film used in the reproduction of
engineering drawings. All drawings on negative durable films must be free of pencil
marking and stains, and cleaned without impairing the quality of the inked line-work
and stencilling.
c. All soil borings (drilled, trial pits, auger holes, etc.) are to be shown on the plans for
buildings, bridge works, hydraulic control and related structures. The soil
investigation performed is to be in accordance with approved design guidelines,
criteria and standards.
d. Line-work on drawings to be to professional standards, i.e. neat, uniform and dark.
Line-work is to be in ink and formed with the use of acceptable proprietary pens and
stencils specifically made for technical drawings.
e. Attention to be paid to the correct grammar and spelling of notes and words on the
drawings and placed in positions that do not affect the clarity or the neat
presentation of the drawing content. All stencilling of the letters to be uniform height
and thickness. If the drawings are to be reduced to half size, then he minimum
lettering height made in the large drawings is 2.5 mm so that the lettering is easily
read at the half reduced size.
f. All drawings should contain the date that they were completed. Any revision made
after approval, and resubmitted for approval, must have the revision clearly noted on
the drawings, including the date the revision was made.
g. The meaning and intent of the provisions and/or specifications under the General
Notes should be clear, precise and pertinent to the drawings without any form of
doubt, ambiguity or leave for subsequent misinterpretation that may lead to disputes
or variation orders.
h. Revised or new plans for specific structures and other items of work should be
prepared on standard sheets (594mm x 841mm), properly authenticated and
approved with signatures of the concerned officials and their consultants. For
previously approved drawings undergoing revision, a supplementary approval
signature block may need to be added to the right-hand vertical margin to indicate
that the drawings were previously approved.
6-65
i. All details shown on the drawings must be relevant to the Project and voided crossed-
out details or drawings marked SUPERCEDED must not be presented for approval.
j. The title block of the drawings must be integral (be monolithic with) part of the Mylar
sheet containing the drawings and not a cut-off insert or appendage.
k. Failure to comply with the above shall result in non-acceptance of the drawings which
will be returned for compliance.
6.7 Site Inspections, Daily Reports and Diaries

Site Inspections
To ensure the Contractors strict Contract compliance, it is mandatory that all personnel charged
with inspection responsibilities properly prepare themselves in advance through detailed study
and understanding of the Plans and Specifications. On-site observations of the Field Engineers
activities and procedures will be made by the TL to ensure compliance with plans and
Specifications.
The field engineers activities will be determined by the Contractors construction activities, and
they will be notified of these in advance based on Request For Inspection (RFI) submissions from
the Contractor. It is the DTL responsibility to follow up on the RFIs.
Field engineers are required to inspect all work done and materials furnished. Such inspection
will extend to all parts of the Works, and to the preparation, fabrication or manufacture of the
materials to be used. The field engineers are not authorized to alter or waive any provision of
the Contract conditions or documents.
The Deputy Team Leader is responsible for keeping his Team Leader informed as to progress of
the work and the manner in which it is being done, and also to call the Contractors attention to
any non-compliance with the drawings or specifications. He is not authorized to approve or
accept any portion of the work, to issue instructions contrary to the plans and specifications, or
to act on behalf of the Contractor. The field engineers have authority to reject unsatisfactory
workmanship, defective materials and to recommend suspension of any work that is being
improperly performed, subject to approval by the Team Leader.
The Field Engineers may exercise such additional authority only as may, from time to time, be
delegated to them by the Deputy Team Leader as approved by the Team Leader.
Daily Inspection Reports
A Daily Report must be completed by each Field Engineer. These Daily Reports will be reviewed
and compiled by the TL and will constitute part of the final Project documentation submitted to
SHDP.
The Daily Report from each field engineer must include but not be limited to the following items:
- Approximate Quantities of work performed under their inspection, such as cubic
meters of material acceptably placed, etc.
- Instructions given or received.
- Unusual or unsatisfactory conditions.
- Delays encountered.
- Number of men or man-hours employed.
6-66
- Equipment, Plant, Methods used by the Contractor.

- Tests performed to satisfy quality control, and samples taken.
- Weather conditions and effect on the Works.
- Daywork records, if any.
Field Inspection Diaries
Each Field Engineer will keep a personal Diary Notebook to accumulate during the day all data
used to prepare his Daily Report. Notes made in their Diary Notebook will be recorded neatly,
clearly and will be dated, signed and in sufficient detail to be clearly understood. This Diary
Notebook will also include the field engineers working hours and work location details for each
day.
The Field Engineers Diary Notebook must be properly identified, indexed and periodically
turned in to the TL for his review and safe-keeping. At the end of the Project these Diary
Notebooks will be returned to SHDP
The field engineers Daily Report will contain quantities of work satisfactorily performed each
day under their inspection. These quantities will be based on measurements if the quantity is
for a particular section of work that is complete or based on an estimate if the work is on-going.
Sketches with dimensions and calculations should be attached to the Report as required. The
quantities are to be entered directly into the appropriate Item Logs by the TLs Quantity
Surveyor on a daily basis.
6.8 Mechanical Plant and Machinery

Monitoring Requirements
All mechanical plant and machinery used by the Contractor to produce materials and/or works
for the Contract must meet the Contract specifications requirements, be capable of producing
the required product at the indicated rate, meet environmental emission, etc. requirements, and
in general be maintained in good condition. Responsibility for monitoring/inspecting the
Contractors mechanical plant and machinery lies with the Team Leader.
Inspection Procedures
1. The Contractor is to be informed of the need for him to use and maintain suitable
equipment, and of the Contract requirements that all equipment be periodically
inspected by the Team leader other suitable person nominated by him.
2. Team Leaders are to determine the specification requirements (explicated and
implicated) for each type of mechanical plant and machinery employed or proposed to
be employed by the Contractor.
3. Each piece of mechanical plant or machinery used or proposed to be used by the
Contractor to produce materials for use in the Contract, or to construct works
(temporary or permanent) for the Contract, is to be inspected upon mobilisation on site,
and periodically thereafter by the Deputy Team Leader or other suitable person
nominated by the T.L s Representative.
4. The Inspecting Officer is to submit to the Deputy Team Leader the Plant and Equipment
Report on a monthly basis until the Contractor has completed his works, which is known
6-67
to be outstanding at the completion date stated in the Taking-Over Certificate for the
Works.
Rejection of Substandard Mechanical Plant/Machinery
A. If the mechanical plant or machinery fails to meet the minimum requirements it is to be
rejected and the report is to be so annotated.
B. The completed report is signed and a copy is given through the Team Leader to the
Contractor. The original report is to be filed.
C. The Consultant is to monitor the activities to ensure that the rejected equipment is not
used for the works, and every endeavour should be used to prevent the Contractor using
it. However, should the Contractor elect to use the equipment then the Engineer can
instruct that the resulting materials and/or works are to be rejected.
D. After the Consultant has been informed in writing that the necessary repairs have been
undertaken on a rejected plant/machinery, the mechanical plant or machinery should be
re-inspected and the results recorded, including listing the results of each of the defects
discovered in the previous inspection.
E. The results of this re-inspection are to be sent to the Contractor, and details of any
additional/outstanding defects are to be noted. If the mechanical plant or machinery
meets all requirements, then written notice that it can now be used for the Project
requirements is transmitted in writing to the Contractor and all relevant Consultancy
staff.
Mechanical Plant/Machinery Inventories
The Contractor is responsible for submitting a weekly inventory of all mobilised mechanical
plant/machinery for review and, where considered appropriate, inspection by the Consultant.
The inventory is to indicate the condition of the Plant / Equipment (i.e. whether it is operable,
has been/is rejected or any other relevant information regarding its condition, maintenance
undergone during the week, etc.).
Mechanical Plant/Machinery Reports and Records
All notices of plant/machinery rejections (and reinstatements) are to be reported as noted
above, and also reported in the weekly inventories. The weekly inventories are to be submitted
to the Consultant in good time to enable the Consultant to make necessary inspections, and to
finalise the results for submission to the Weekly site meetings and, if relevant, for the Monthly
Progress Report.
All reports are to be filed in the respective general filing system for each package. Copies of all
reports related to plant/machinery failing because of environmental or safety non-compliance
are also to be reported to the Environmental Officer, and be included in the Environmental
file. These files are to be reviewed periodically, and this review should serve in part for
scheduling periodic inspection of specific plant/machinery.
6.9 Contractors Personnel

Supervision Consultant is required to ensure that the Contractors personnel are capable, and
that they perform their services in accordance with the Works Contract. As such the Consultant
is required to approve and monitor the Contractors personnel as noted in the following
sections.
6-68
Approval of Contractors Key Staff

The Consultant is required by the Consultancy Agreement to approve all Contractors Key Staff.
This is to be implemented by reviewing the CVs submitted by the Contractor for all proposed
key staff.
Approval of Contractors Staff Mobilisation Program
The Consultant is also required by the Consultancy Agreement to approve the Contractors
mobilisation program, which is to include the projected mobilisation dates for all Contractors
Key Staff. This is to be implemented by reviewing the following documents requested from the
Contractor:

Proposed Staff Mobilisation Program for Personnel.
Monitor Contractors Personnel Superintendence
In accordance with the Works Contract the Consultant is required to monitor, evaluate, and, if
found necessary, to object to and require the Contractor to remove from the Works, any person
provided by the Contractor who, in the opinion of the Engineer, misconducts himself, or is
incompetent or negligent in the proper performance of his duties, or whose presence on Site is
otherwise considered by the Engineer to be undesirable. Monitoring of personnel is carried out
informally for day-by-day works activities by supervision staff reporting personnel-related
problems and deficiencies to the Team Leader.
Monitor Contractors Personnel Input
The Consultant is charged under the Works Contract to monitor the personnel both with regard
to attendance, but also with respect to their involvement with the construction works activities
associated with their specific positions.
6.10 Weather Records

General
Weather information is to be collected and recorded on a daily basis throughout the Contract
period in order that the occurrence and extent of adverse climatic conditions, if any, can be
identified and quantified. This information may be required for the Engineer in determining any
Extension of Time to be granted to the Contractor later.

7 SURVEYING GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES

7.1 Setting Out Of Centreline
The Contractor shall stake out the centreline soon after taking position of the site. In order to
facilitate the setting out of the centreline of the median the Contractor shall take approval from
the Team Leader. The Team Leader shall ensure submittal of all design information and data
required by the Contractor. The Contractor should fix reference pillars at every 50 m. intervals in
tangent alignment and 20 m. intervals in circular alignment respectively. At every 100 m.
intervals a concrete pillar has to be fixed on either sides of the centreline in order to mark the
levels of sub grade, Sub-base, Base and Bituminous courses with red paint. A schedule of a
minimum of 3 permanent reference dimensions for each pillar shall be prepared with respect to
the centre of reference pillar, and the reference details are to be submitted by the Contractor. In
order to facilitate easy work for cross-sections, the Contractor shall fix wooden pegs of size 2x
2x9 inches at every 10 m. intervals in tangent alignment and 5 m. intervals at circular alignment
in accordance with the proposed centreline. A nail with washer is driven on the road exactly
perpendicular to the wooden pegs at constant offset and the nail should be painted along with
the reference chainage. The reference pillar should be painted with white guttu paint, and
lettering should be with red paint.
7.2 Establishing Working Bench Marks

The Contractor shall establish working benchmarks with respect to the Reference Benchmarks
provided by the DPR. The Engineer will submit reduced levels values. The Contractor has to fix at
least 4 temporary benchmarks (TBMs) per km. The TBMs are fixed at staggered positions in
such a way that at least two pillars are on either side of the centreline. The Contractor shall also
establish TBMs at structures like pipe culverts, major bridges, minor bridges and box culverts
under progress, and at ROBs. The working benchmarks levels should be approved by the
Engineer. Checking must be made of those benchmarks at least once every month, and any
required adjustments to be made should first be approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall
maintain an up-to-date data file of the working benchmarks details, including corrections, and a
copy of this is to be supplied to the Engineer. To ensure clear visibility, the pillars are to be
painted with yellow paint, and all writings are to be painted red.
7.3 Cross-Sections
After staking out of the centreline and fixing of benchmarks, cross-sections are to be taken.
Cross-section levels shall be taken before and after construction, at every 10 m. Intervals on
tangent alignments and 5m. intervals on curved alignments. However 5m intervals should be
adopted to ensure good construction of super elevation in curves. Before construction of the
embankment works, levels have to be taken of the existing ground which is termed O.G.Ls
(Original Ground Levels). O.G.Ls therefore serve as the basis for calculating earthworks
quantities.
Cross-sections shall be started from the road centreline, which is termed the 0 offset. Normally,
on two-lane roads, the levels shall be taken at four positions transversely, at 0.75 and 2.75 m
from either edge of the carriageway for the pavement portion and shall be extended up to Right-
of-Way boundaries on either side of the carriageway at 1.5m offsets. The offset interval can be
changed, as required, depending on the terrain (e.g. if the terrain is very uneven, then a shorter
interval may be indicated). If there is an existing carriageway, then levels shall be taken for each
variation in profile (i.e., at shoulders, bottom of road (RB), Top of road (RT), Centre of road (AC -
7-73
asphaltic centre), etc.). This information can then be used, as required, for calculation of P.C.C.
(profile corrective course) quantities. The cross-sections can also be used for fixing of the road
toe line.
During cross-sectioning, the Contractor is responsible for identifying, locating and marking of all
marshy soils areas (i.e. bogs and other areas that are waterlogged and/or contain unsuitable
soils as defined by the Specifications). The Contractor must immediately inform the Engineer of
these areas, including the details of the levels. After removal of marshy soils, the Contractor
again takes levels to enable the calculation of backfilling quantities.
After completion of cross-section, the Contractors shall submit a set of drawings with quantity
calculations (generally generated by software analyses). In the drawings, all O.G.Ls, P.R.Ls and
profiles of existing and new alignments shall be shown.
7.4 Setting out of Structures

The Contractor shall remove all logs, stumps, and other deleterious matter and other
obstructions, as necessary, for layout of all new structures including bridges, culverts, retaining
walls, head walls, cut-off walls, etc., as well as other non-road structures like buildings, borrow
areas, disposal areas, etc., as required. The Contractor shall remove all water from water-logged
areas near structures by suitable dewatering pumps. After the site has been cleared, the
structures shall be set as per drawings (i.e. as per indicated lines, curves, slopes, etc.). The
Contractor shall provide all labour, survey instruments and materials (such as strings, pegs, nails,
bamboos, stones, lime, mortar, concrete etc.) as required in connection with the setting out of
works and the establishment of benchmarks. The Contractor shall also be responsible for the
maintenance of benchmarks and other marks and stakes in accordance with requirements by
the Engineer.
The Contractor shall construct at least 2 pillars for each structures construction location, and
shall fix coordinates for each of them. These pillars should be established, where possible, at
the exact centre of the structures (e.g. centreline of pier, abutment, pile foundation, pillars,
etc.).
7.5 Quantity Survey Requirements

All measurements are to be made under the direction of the Team Leader. All calculation sheets
shall be signed and dated by the preparer. Level Surveys are required of the surface following
completion of each of the embankment and pavement levels (i.e. after acceptance of the F.D.D
(Field Dry Density) tests for the particular site level). The Contractor shall submit the level
information in level sheets for each and every layer of these construction works. All level
readings are to be taken within the permissible limits given in the Specifications.
The Engineer can object to the bill if the levels are established as inaccurate, or if the tolerances
are exceeded. In addition to maintaining required construction layer thicknesses, the Contractor
must also ensure that all lines and grades are observed (e.g. longitudinal grade, and super
elevation, crown and shoulder side-slopes, etc.).

8 QUANTITY SURVEY GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES

8.1 General Services
Services provided by the Quantity Survey section of PMC under the direction of the TL
encompass the following:
A. Measurement of all pay items as executed by the Contractor in accordance with the
method of measurement as set out in the Specifications.
B. Preparation of the monthly interim payment certificate.
C. Systematic documentation of contract measurements / payments.
D. Ensuring compliance of contract stipulations with regards to variation in contract
quantities & rates.
E. Preparation and recommendation of extra items of work or variation orders, and to
provide associated rate analysis.
F. Provision of suitable input for the settlement of claims by the Contractor.
G. Preparation of cash flow projections, monthly financial statements & estimates for the
final cost of the project.
H. Preparation of final payment certificate for the contract.
I. Providing advice on matters related to Bonds, guarantees & insurances.
While most of the above stated functions are mandatory for Quantity Surveying, it is the
management of measurement services for contractual pay items, certification & payment for the
contract that is the essence of Quantity Survey Services.
8.2 Method of Measurement
The specifications establish criteria for measurements and payment of all items. Broadly they are
based on the following:
Theoretical computations:
Items such as clearing and grubbing, excavation, embankments, paving, and structural concrete
are measured and paid to heat lines or other established pay lines. Therefore, the actual pay
quantities must be arithmetically based upon accurate dimension determined from the contract
drawing and/or with reference to field measurement of initial levels.
Field measurements and verification:
Certain items such as stump removal rock excavation, sodding, etc. are required to be measured
and /or verification of such items must be made while they are accessible and/or subsequently
following their completion. Therefore, to prevent future disagreement measurement or
verification of all such items will be made in cooperation with a Contractors authorized
representative. Such measurements will be recorded in a bound field books and signed by the
Consultants and Contractors representatives.
Monthly Interim Payment Certificate (IPC)
The Interim Certificate will include the following:
8-75
1. Interim Payment Certificate forms shall be provided as per the approved format by the
Engineer.
2. Detail measurements of each item of work will be done as per standard formats as attached
for various item of work. The measurement sheets of each item of work will be continuously
numbered and maintained separately, and continuity of page numbers will be maintained in
subsequent bills.
3. Cost of material delivered to the site, which is to be incorporated into the work, may be
included in the interim certificate, provided such material is located on the site in a safe and
secure location, or is properly stored (with the approval of the Team Leader) by the
Contractor in a warehouse, storage yard or similar suitable place within a reasonable
distance of the site. Prior to allowing payment to a Contractor for materials delivered to site
but not yet incorporated into the works, the Contractor will submit, at least six days in
advance of his draft interim certificate, an Approval Request form asking that the above be
verified. The Team Leader will then require the following from the Contractor concerning
payment for materials on site:
a) Proof of ownership, such as a paid invoice, covering the material for which payment
is requested.
b) Specifics of materials, including complete description and exact quantities. The
invoice, required above, may satisfy this requirement.
c) Value of material stored on site, including unit price extension(s), tax freight (if
applicable) and total cost.
d) Certification that the material complies with applicable section of the specification
and/or drawings.
Submission of the Interim Certificate
All requests for monthly payments will be made by the Contractor using the approved Interim
Payment Certificate formats. All requests by the Contractor for payment will be based on
quantities of work actually completed in compliance with the specification (i.e. that have been
approved by the Team Leader as supported by the Approved RFIs and Test Results).
The Deputy Team Leader will confirm the accuracy of the quantities submitted by the Contractor
based on his well-documented item log maintained by him on the basis of daily reports. If there
is any difference in quantity for any item of work as submitted by the Contractor in his draft
interim certificate, the DTL should discuss this difference with the Contractor and make
corrections as required.
All the supporting documents to the IPC like test results, RFIs, quantity and quality certificates
etc. and other statutory documentations should be provided by Contractor in coordination with
the DTL and the concerned Executive Engineer.

9-78
10 ENVIRONMENTAL
10.1 General
The Construction Supervision Consultants play a vital role in ensuring that the environmental
and social impacts for implementation of the construction works are minimized, and that all
aspects of the Environmental Management Plan are implemented. The lead role for this activity
is the Environmental Engineer for each Package. However, it is to be emphasized that due to the
importance of these activities that the Environmental Officers report directly to, and are to
receive full attention and cooperation from, the Team Leader and Deputy Team Leader
10.2 Pre-Construction / Early Construction Period Activities
The following environmental-related activities are to be implemented during the pre-
construction / construction (early part) periods:
Create a sense of environmental / safety awareness within all construction activities for
all Contract parties (Employer, Contractor, Consultant) by constant referral to
environmental requirements, implications, and responsibilities.
Formally request in writing that the Contractor facilitate the mobilisation of equipment
necessary to ensure early commencement of the Environmental Monitoring Plan
Develop all necessary guidelines and procedures (including the development of standard
recording / reporting forms) required for the consideration and implementation of
environmental activities during all aspects of the Works implementation process.
Compare the Engineering Plans with Site conditions to assess what, if any, trees, PAPs
facilities, cultural/religious properties, etc. can be saved by checking actual minimum
clearances from the works, by effecting minor revisions to the designs (e.g. slightly
shifting of culvert locations), etc.
Include in the Consultants Design Review improvements for intersections, improved
drainage, and recommend the use of scarified asphalted materials within the works.
10.3 Environmental Monitoring Program
The Consultant is to ensure that the Contractor implements the Environmental Monitoring
Program as per the contractor document.
Successful implementation of the Environmental Monitoring Program is contingent on the
following:
1. The Consultant is to request the Contractor to commence all the initial tests for
monitoring (i.e. for Air, Water Quality and Noise Levels) early in the Contract to establish
base readings (i.e. to assess the existing conditions prior to effects from the
Construction activities being felt).
2. The Consultant is to request the Contractor to submit for approval a tentative schedule
of subsequent periodic tests to be carried out.
3. Monitoring by the Supervision Consultants Environmental Engineer of all the
environmental monitoring tests, and subsequent analysis of results.
4. Where indicated by testing results, and any other relevant on-site conditions, to instruct
the Contractor to:
10-79
Modify the testing schedule (dates, frequency)

Modify (add to or delete) testing locations
Verify testing results with additional testing as/if required
Require recalibration of equipment, etc., as necessary
Request the Contractor to stop, modify or defer specific construction equipment,
processes, etc., as necessary, that are deemed to have contributed significantly to
monitoring readings in access of permissible environmental safe levels.
10.4 Monitoring of Earthworks Activities
Most of the environmental problems related to the construction works are anticipated to be
associated with the earthworks, particularly for the Quarries and Borrow Areas.
Other environmental effects associated with the earthworks include the development of
adequate temporary drainage to minimize detrimental effects (e.g. erosion) due to run-off, and
safety aspects related to Works implementation
10.5 Environmental Safety
Guidelines and procedures to be adopted in the Project to promote safety and health are
discussed in earlier sections of this document. Additional safety related guidelines are included
indirectly under other subjects presented in the Construction Supervision Manual.
10.6 Monitoring of Contractors Facilities, Plant and Equipment
All issues related to negative environmental impacts of the Contractors Facilities, Plant and
equipment are to be controlled through:
The Contractors self-imposed Quality Assurance Plan
Regular/periodic inspection of the Contractors Plant and Equipment
Monthly Appraisal of the Contractor.
Safety and environmental aspects related to the Contractors Plant and Equipment are
discussed in earlier sections of this document. Other environmental impacts are to be regularly
identified and noted on the Monthly Appraisal inspection made to review all aspects of the
Contractors operation. The Environmental Officer is to review all Monthly Appraisal reports,
and through the Resident Engineer is to instruct the Contractor to rectify all significant negative
environmental impacts.
10.7 Post-Construction Environmental Activities
The Consultants Construction Supervision Services are to be continued on a part-time basis
throughout the defects liability period, and hence this provides the opportunity to identify and
assess the initial environmental impacts for the Project during the first twelve months. It is
anticipated that some of the issues that may be identified include:
Accident black spots along the project roads (particularly at junctions with the major
cross-roads.
Drainage problems, and their associated properties such as flooding, erosion and damage
to road infrastructure and adjacent public/private property.
10-80
Noise, sound and/or water pollution to be determined through the Environmental

Monitoring Program.
Problems related to the replantation schemes (i.e. for tree replacement).

Marking of toe line: Distance of toe from center line will be taken from cross section and
batter pegs on both sides at every 20m intervals will be marked for the limits of embankment in
such a way that the embankment will be built sufficiently wider than the design width so that
surplus material is trimmed later, remaining material will be ensured to the required density.
a) The original ground shall be leveled, scarified, mixed with water and then compacted by
rolling to achieve at least 95% of density and to facilitate placement of first layer of
embankment so as to achieve minimum dry density of not less than 95%.
b) If unsuitable material (LL>70, PI>45 & FSI>50%, Marshy, Organic and Peat) is encountered
in the embankment foundation, same shall be got verified by the Engineer, the
13-90
unsuitable material shall be removed and replaced by approved material, laid in layers
and compacted to not less than 95% of the density obtained as per IS 2720 part 8.
c) Water will be sprinkled on the surface by water tanker having spray bar arrangement
before starting next layer.
d) Soil will be dumped from the approved borrow areas at such a rate that loose thickness
of fill will attain required thickness of the layer after compaction and the maximum layer
thickness is restricted to 250mm as per technical specification. Number of trips to be
dumped between two Chainages will be calculated prior to dumping and material
dumped accordingly. Spreading of soil will be done with dozer and final grading will be
done by a Motor grader, Any coarser material greater than 75mm size observed on the
spread layer will be removed by picking manually and this shall be controlled to the
extent possible at the borrow area itself.
e) The embankment material shall be spread, dried or water added depending on OMC
required and it will be ensured that at the time of compaction the moisture content shall
be +1% or -2% of OMC.
f) Mixing of soil will be done with Motor Grader to bring surface finish, camber and
gradient as per line & levels as per the approved drawings.
g) Compaction: Rolling will be started immediately after grading is finished with 80 to 100
KN Static weight vibratory rollers for compaction. Compaction will start from lower end
towards center by giving 1/3rd overlap of drum width in roller movement. As many
passes of roller as to attain 95% of MDD (Max. dry density). Number of passes required
to achieve desired density will be worked out during field trials.
h) Checking: Field dry density will be checked by using sand replacement method. Moisture
Meter will be used for determining moisture content. Next layer will be dumped after
obtaining approval of the previous layer by the Engineer. Further compaction will be
done if compaction achieved is less than 95%. Loose pockets will be reworked upon and
brought to the required compaction.
i) Where necessary to facilitate compaction of the sub grade to 97% relative compaction, a
maximum depth of 250mm below the sub grade bottom level shall be loosened, watered
and compacted to not less than 95% of dry density in accordance with clause 305.3.4.
j) Preparation of Embankment top : As the filling reaches to the final layer of embankment,
the surface will be brought to required grade and camber as per the approved drawings,
and the construction of sub grade will be taken up only after approval of embankment
top levels and field density by the Engineer,.
k) Measurement : Earth embankment construction shall be measured separately by taking
cross section at intervals after clearing and grubbing and if necessary compaction of
original ground before the embankment work starts and after its completion and
computing the volumes of earthwork in cubic meter by the method of average end areas.
Controls:
i. Material used in the preparation of formation shall be sampled then checked in our field

meets requirement set forth in the specifications. Any excessive moisture in aggregates
may cause slump of flattened loads, accompanied by considerable bubbling or streaming
of the mixture.
8) Compare aggregate from all bins to determine that it meets specifications. Obtain
samples of the aggregate prior to mixing with asphalt, and test for the grading. Grading
used by the laboratory for mix design are based on volume and not weight. When there
is a difference of more than 0.2 between the specific gravities of coarse material and fine

the paddles, throughout the length of the mixer. Feed must be continuous and uniform
for best results. Also it must be noted in the daily report.
11) Monitor the temperature of asphalt. In batch plants ensure that the temperature of the
asphalt in the line does not drop more than 8C (15F). In continuous feed plants ensure
that the temperature of the asphalt does not vary more than 28C (50F).
12) Check to ensure that all the equipment are functioning properly and within the
specifications. When automatic batch mixing is used, check to see that the automatic
equipment is functioning within specifications. When any continuous mixing plant (drier
drum or drier drum pug mill) is used, check to see that the vibrating unit on the fine bin is
in operation. Also ensure that the low-level interlock systems for the aggregate feeder
bins and the asphalt storage are functional.
13) Observe the operation of all weighing systems. Required scales and meters to be
retested whenever there is any indication that there may be in error.
a) The weight of the material falling from the bin gates to the weighing hopper after
the gates are closed must be considered in the batching process. Check that the
weigh box containing the total batch does not contact anything, which prevents a
true indication of the batch weight.
b) Periodically check the batching by comparing the total weight of the batches in a
truckload with the platform scale weight for the some load (This can be done only
when the mixed materials are not kept in silos).
c) Check the asphalt scales frequently to make sure that there is no zero error; that
the scale levers and knife edges move freely; and that there is no bind or drag on
the lever systems.

loose materials and have problems corrected.
2) Ensure that the prime coat/tack coat has been applied uniformly and properly.
Determine temperature of the asphalt material used for prime coat/tack coat. Check
whether all vertical faces are coated.
3) Ensure that tack coat material is being applied at the specified rate and at the proper
distance in advance of the paving operation. Check distributor spray bar height and
nozzle angle.
4) Ensure that the tack coat is broken or cured prior to having wherever required.
5) Ensure that certificates of compliance have been received for each shipment and that
weight and load slips for each liquid asphalt load are accurate.
6) Determine the temperature of the air and record.
7) Examine the spreading equipment to determine whether it has the specified attributes.
Pay particular attention to pavers, which are variable in width, to ensure that spreading
and compacting components extend for the full width of the traffic areas lane to be
paved.
8) Examine rollers to determine whether they have the specified attributes. Ensure that the
specified number of rollers is available as decided during the trial compaction. Check
frequency of vibratory rollers to assure 30-40 impacts per meter with a tachometer.
Where a rubber tired roller is used, verify the manufacturer's recommended contact
pressure.
9) Ensure that all equipment required for coring for checking bitumen content/density are
available. Check for all hand equipment like, lutes, rakes and shovels.
DURING LAYING
1) Record measurements of air, surface and asphaltic mix temperatures. Cool air blowing
can reduce the temperatures of the mix. A cold surface can suck heat out the mix
extremely fast. This will be critical when the lift thickness is thin.
2) Observe spreading:
a) Check equipment being used to ensure it meets specifications.
b) Monitor thickness and observe that the road/lane width is being met.
29-135
c) Record number of layers.
d) Check spread rate against theoretical rate.
e) Ensure that longitudinal joints are offset as specified.
f) Check whether the conveyor is exposed to make sure that material is on the
hopper conveyor at all times.
(g) Check whether paver hopper is near full at all times. Check flow gates and
augurs. Paver wings should not be dumped as large aggregates accumulate in the
wings. Waste it at the end of the day.
3) Confirm that rolling pattern and compaction effort determined during the trial test are
being met. Check breakdown rolling has been accomplished before minimum
temperature is reached.
4) Obtain a sample of the completed mixture from the mat behind the paving machine and
test it for extraction, moisture, and sieve analysis.
Identify the samples to indicate both the stationing where they were taken and the
approximate area they represent.
Analyze the test data at the earliest possible time. It is preferable that samples
representing drier - drums or continuous mixing be tested in the field, in order that
immediate corrective action can be taken for any deviations.
For determining the uniformity of the mixture as placed - consider tests from the mat at
longitudinal intervals and not at transverse.
For determining mixer efficiency - consider taking samples from the pug mill or discharge
gates of batch plant or from the discharge chute of drum-mixer plant.
5) Check the rolling temperature. The temperature of mix during laying shall be 120C -
160. It is an extremely important factor in compaction. Rolling should begin in
sequences as soon as mat will support the weight of roller without picking up material on
the drum or unduly marking of shoving the mat. Check that rolling is done at as high a
temperature as possible, because highest initial densities are achieved at high
temperature optimal for rolling.
6) Check transverse and longitudinal joints are constructed properly. Observe constructions
at cold transverse joints to see specifications are being met.
29-136
7) Observe that the segregation and visual pavement deformities are being avoided or
corrected.
8) Ensure that smoothness of the surface is as specified record measurements.
9) Check the edge alignment of the material being placed. Check it should not be thin or
thick compared to lift thickness.
10) Ensure that defective areas have not developed. Check pavement for pooling of asphalt,
bleeding, raveling, rock pockets, consistent color etc.
DURING TRIAL COMPACTION
1) Use a test trip. The use of a compaction test strip before the start of a project will head
off problems before they arise. It will also provide information to the roller operator to
establish the:
Roller pattern and speeds
Frequency and amplitude settings
Density specifications for job
Number of passes, vibratory or static
2) Testing shall be done on a test strip, which is similar in condition and nature to that of
the project highway. Preferably a short length of the project road itself is treated as test
strip.
3) Testing should begin with the roller set at its recommended amplitude. If the unit
bounces, or moves sideways, reduce the amplitude setting. If it is obvious that particles
are being fractured, reduce the amplitude.
4) It should be obvious that maximum amplitude should not be utilized when beginning to
roll a thin lift.
5) The use of the test strip is an educated trial and error process to determine the most
productive procedure for a particular project.
6) Even if density requirements are set by using the marshal or kneading compactor a test
strip will still permit the contractor to develop the rolling patterns, type of compactor
etc. to meet the specifications.
DURING ROLLING
1) Check the fuel tanks are full and there will be no delay during the day.
2) Check the water supply, spray bars and nozzles. Any clogged nozzles need to be cleaned
out before work beings.
29-137
3) Check the engine oil, hydraulic tank. Grease the machine and inspect the drums for any
dent.
4) If the rollers are to be stopped for any length of time, park at an angle on a cool part of
the mat. Parking on a warm mat will most likely leave an indentation that will not roll
out.
5) At the end of a pass, while reversing, turn the roller into a slight curve prior to stopping
to avoid leaving a transverse ridge across the mat.
6) When using a vibratory roller, check whether it is operated at a speed that will provide at
least one drum impact or more per 2.5 cm of travel. Ripples may result if this is
exceeded.
7) Never allow to vibrate when the roller is stationary; use-automatic vibration cut off.
8) Check whether deceleration / acceleration is being done smoothly while reversing

direction to avoid pushing or shoving the mat.
9) Sharp turns shall be avoided otherwise it will cut the mat.
29-138

1) Confirm mix design is available and is as per criteria.
2) Conform batch plant settings, other equipment satisfy the required criteria.
3) Conform whether all the materials are as per criteria.
4) Carryout control tests as per the frequencies stipulated.

1) Side form Construction:
Examine the forms to ensure that they have the specified attributes including
composition, weight, dimensions, rigidity, and cleanliness.
2) Examine the base upon which forms are to be placed to ensure that it is properly
compacted, true to cross section and grade.
3) Inspect the installed forms to ensure that the installation is up to specified standards.
Ensure any corrective work if necessary before placement of concrete.
4) Slip from Construction:
Examine the paver that it has the specified attributes and ensure that the equipment is
capable of spreading, consolidating, striking off, shaping and float finishing the freshly
placed concrete to the desired line, grade and thickness in one continuous passage in
such a manner that a minimum of finishing by hand methods will be required.
Batching Inspection
1) Familiarize with the physical characteristics of aggregates, design mix proportions,
method of determining taken quantities, scales generations, yield, effective water,
cement factor and the procedures for adjusting preparations and yield
2) Check periodically the calibration of scales, systematic and regular checking of scale
settings for batches to assure proper quantities are being dispensed.
3) Check the quality of aggregates, mix as per the sampling criteria.
4) The water for mixing must be tested. In case water is being hauled from external - water
sources, the containers should be clean and checked periodically.
5) Check whether the check bins empty themselves after each batching cycle.
34-147
6) When changing scale weights for batch correction in the aggregates ensure that the
setscrews are firmly tightened. Constant vibration will tend to move these weights
causing an incorrect cement or aggregate to enter the batch.
7) In case of rains while the aggregate bins are loaded, water will collect in the bins. The
materials from the bins may be unloaded and mixed with the stockpile. This will cause
excess moisture content in the first few batches and lead to production of sloppy
concrete.
8) Ensure that all working parts, especially knife-edges are in good condition, free from
friction, readily accessible for inspection and cleaning.
9) Ensure, at the end of each shift, that the scales are working normally, and check the scale
readings by adding standard weights to the hopper and checking dial readings.
10) Check whether the hauling equipment meet the specification requirements, and check
the consistency and workability at the time of delivery at site. Ensure that no segregation
takes place while hauling.
11) Check the yield of individual batches and if the yield vary considerably for no apparent
reason, check the accuracy of scales.
Mixing and Hauling
1) Check the specification of the truck mixer or agitator that it is capable of delivering and
discharging the concrete in a thoroughly mixed and uniform condition.
2) Check the time on the mixer at least twice daily.
3) Check for uniformity of batch consistency. In case of discrepancy, check for leaking mixer
valve, water valve, moisture change in aggregate in the bins.
4) Check that there is no wash water in the transit mix trucks before loading concrete for
hauling.
5) Check the mixing either by specified time or by specified number of revolutions at a

specified revolution per minute. The mixing shall begin only after all ingredients are in
the mixer including water.
6) Check the truck mixers that there is no leakage from the water tank into the mixer.
7) Check whether the concrete segregates when it leaves the chute of truck mixer or
agitator. This can be corrected by providing a baffle after the chute to cause the
concrete to drop vertically.
34-148
8) Periodically check the concrete regardless whether the concrete is mixed in site mixers,
stationary mixers or truck mixers, and assure that it is properly mixed and meets the
requirement in regard to slump, uniformity, workability and air content.
9) Normally truck mixers or agitators are not capable of discharging low slump concrete and
have a tendency to hold back the coarse aggregate to the end till the last quantum of the
batch is discharged. Ensure that the batch concrete with larger coarse aggregate content
is properly mixed with the next load of concrete and thoroughly mixed.
10) Check for cement balls in the transit mixed concrete. If sufficient water about 40 percent
enters the drum ahead of aggregates and cement, cement balls will not usually occur.
Check sufficient water is let into the mixer before adding other materials.
11) Check the concrete at the time of delivery whether the mix has become stiff. Normally
haul time and stand by time frequently has an adverse effect on the consistency of truck
mixed or agitated concrete and the batch become progressively stiffer as the time
increases. Check the specifications for the allowable maximum time for mixing and
agitating and verify whether the transit time is within the permissible limits. In case the
mix has become too stiff, a small quantity of water can be added without affecting the
overall quality or water cement ratio.
12) Ensure that the transit mixers or agitators discharge properly and the rate of discharge is
within the permissible limits.
13) Check the truck mixers periodically for accumulation of hardened concrete. Any truck
mixers showing such accretions or excessively worn pick up and mixing blades shall not
be used.
During Paving
1) Check the accuracy of the final grade stakes.
2) Check the subgrade to ensure that it conforms to the tolerances specified for compaction
and elevation.
3) When slip form pavers are used, inspect the grade upon which the paver will ride to
determine whether it is smooth enough to prevent foreseeable violations of specified
tolerances.
4) When pavement is to be placed during periods of low ambient temperatures, check the
proposed methods for protecting the concrete.
5) Check the curing method, and if any curing compound is proposed, it should be of pre-
approved quality.
34-149
6) Check whether the equipment for constructing joints is at the site before paving begins
and it conforms to specifications.
7) Check whether the subgrade is uniformly moist to receive the concrete.
8) Ensure proper lighting facilities are installed if paving is to continue beyond daylight hours.
9) Check the concrete as it is placed for any improper proportions or inadequate mixing.
10) Observe the operation of equipment/which bears on existing pavements to ensure that
no cracking or other damages is occurring.
11) Observe the installation of joint material when joints are to be formed rather than
sawed. Check whether the joint material is placed as specified order corrections for any
deviations or poor workmanship.
12) Inserted joint material must conform to specified requirements, and be placed within
specified tolerances of plumpness, depth and alignment.
13) Ensure that the specified date stamp is used to mark the new pavement.
14) Ensure that a contact joint is constructed whenever there is an interval greater than that
allowed by specifications between any two successive loads of concrete.
15) Measure pavements width at the beginning of a run and thereafter periodically. While
the required width applies to both upper and lower surfaces, it is permissible for the
bottom width to be greater than specified when desired to reduce edge slump.
16) Observe preliminary finishing to determine whether it is being performed as specified

and in a manner, which will impart desired surface characteristics.
a) See that any lateral movement of the forms does not exceed the specified values.
Order additional staking of the forms or use larger stakes.
b) See that concrete is being vibrated, screeded and tamped by machines and that
the capacity of the machines is adequate to perform the work at a rate equal to
the production of the mixer.
c) Check vibrating to ensure that it is being done at the locations and in the
frequencies and amplitudes specified.
d) When side form construction is used, observe the screeding and tamping to
ensure, that they are being performed as specified.
e) One of the things most adversely affecting surface disability is mixing water with
the surface mortar during finishing. This water may be 'bleed' water which has
34-150
not evaporated or water added to the surface to make finishing easier or to

prevent hair cracking checking. If any of the concrete visible during finishing is
more dilute than the mortar of the freshly laid concrete, too much water is being
mixed into the surface.
17) Observe final finishing to determine whether it is being performed and in a manner
which will result in a finished surface having the desired qualities.
18) When there is any rainfall, sufficient to damage fresh pavement, as specified in the
specifications for protecting concrete, see that placing is stopped or that other steps
have taken such as placing a covering to prevent damage.
19) Ensure that the edges of pavement are rounded to the specified radii. Edging should be
performed prior to texturing. Observe texturing for compliance with requirements.
20) Ensure that the surface of the pavement is kept moist as specified both before and after
application of the curing seal.
Inspection after placing
1) a) Observe the sawing of weakened-plane joints. Check the location for
conformance with plans.
b) Control joints must be cut soon after the concrete has hardened enough
to support the saw.
c) Transverse weakened plane joints are to be sawed within 24 hours after

paving, longitudinal weakened plane joints are to be sawed within 12
hours following paving until otherwise specified.
d) Measure the finished surface with a straight edge to determine

compliance with specification order girding where necessary.
2) Measure the thickness by coring paving thickness. Variation is to be determined for all
cores by subtracting the specified thickness of pavement from thickness determined by
coring.
3) Coring machines should not be allowed on the fresh concrete while there is danger of
damaging the concrete. The minimum period to wait will be 72 hours.
34-151
35 CHECKLIST FOR PIPE CULVERTS

The works can be of two types, extension or new construction. In the case of pipe culverts the
mark out, excavation, bedding and placing of the pipes are most important and any mistake in
these activities cannot be corrected except by complete removal and reconstruction.
1) Test soil and see if it matches design value. If the culvert is in Black Cotton Soil, an extra
150mm of hard granular blanket should be provided to ensure pipes do not sink both
below the headwalls and below pipes. If the surface is rocky, concrete bedding may be
necessary to cover the undulation in the rock surface.
2) Pipe should be tested in accordance with IS: 458 (Concrete pipes with and without
reinforcement).
3) Check for the identification marks left on the pipes while inspection and testing of pipes
were carried out in the manufacturing plant.
4) Check for any cracks in the pipes, which might have been caused during transportation or
loading and unloading.
CONSTRUCTION STAGE
a) Excavation
The excavation should be as per drawings but the following should be checked:
The length of excavation caters for the number of pipes plus the spacing of pipes, which should
be half the diameter of the pipes but not less than 45cms.
The depth of excavation should cater for the following:
Cushion above pipe of minimum 60cm of half the dia. or the pipe including pavements.
If the required cushion is not available due to low embankment embed the pipe in
concrete. A minimum of 200mm thick PCC or 150mm RCC all-round the pipe shall be
provided.
Granular/concrete bedding and foundation depending upon the height of embankment
as per relevant IRC clauses, if necessary.
1/3 of pipe dia or 300mm will be buried below nallah bed to prevent scour.
The distances between trenches for foundation of headwalls are such that it suits the proposed
pipe lengths.
b) Foundation and Bedding
1) Check excavation is correct.
35-152
2) Check mix proportion of PCC is as specified.
3) Check thickness and material of bedding is as specified.
4) Check cradles are provided for resting of pipe joints.
5) Check length of pipe is same as the distance between the outer surfaces of the
headwalls.
6) Check proper foundation in case of Black Cotton/Soft soil and concrete bedding in case of
rocky strata is provided.
c) Placing of Pipes
1) Check spacing between pipes is not less than 1/2 dia. of pipe or 50 cm, whichever
is more.
2) Check pipes do not protrude beyond the headwalls.
3) Check cross slope of pipes is as per design.
4) Check joints of pipes properly done using collars or other methods as per
specifications. Joints shall be sealed with mortar, rubber gaskets or other sealing
materials.
5) Check pipe joints properly cradled. Joints shall be kept covered and damp for at
least 4 days.
d) Headwalls
1) Check headwall foundation is as per drawing.
2) Check headwall constructed as per design. If the same is of un-course rubble

ensure headers are used.
3) UCR masonry cannot be constructed properly to have a watertight joint at outer

surface of pipe at headwalls. In that case the pipes should be encased in 1:2:4 CC
near the headwalls to prevent floodwater from entering around the pipes.
4) Ensure curing for 7 days.

e) Filling Earth over Pipes
1) Ensure the culvert is filled with approved earth in layers not more than 30cms,
watered and compacted.
2) Ensure filling material free of boulders and black cotton or other unsuitable soils.
3) Initial compaction should be done manually.
35-153
4) Rolling to be done only after 30cm of earth has been laid over the pipes.
f) General
in general embankment is formed to the full height as required in the profile and plan
drawings. Then the pipe culverts are marked and excavated for pipe laying. This will
ensure better compacted embankment on either side of the pipes. After laying the pipe,
the excavated portion can be filled with granular material and properly compacted so
that no settlement takes place. In case pipes are laid before embankment is constructed,
the portion between the pipe rows and for a width of 0.6 to 0.75m on either side of the
pipe shall be backfilled with coarse granular materials and rolled along with earthwork.

CONSTRUCTION STAGE
1) Check the load tickets if concrete is delivered through transit mixers or agitators.
2) Check that the transported concrete is not segregated and contains no cement balls.
3) Check that no additional water added during hauling or at delivery point without an prior
instructions. If water is to be added, check that it is mixed as specified.
4) Ensure that concrete is placed while fresh and before it has taken an initial set. Ensure
that stiffening of concrete has not taken place in case of transported concrete.
5) Observe the method of placing of concrete and ensure concrete to placed without any
segregation and it is being compacted by specified vibrators.
6) Check that no over vibration takes place. Concrete shall be vibrated to the point where
mortar and water flush to the surface. Under vibration will leave rock pockets contact
between the vibrator and any reinforcement should be minimum, if possible avoid such
contacts.
7) If concreting is done through chutes, ensure that segregation of mortar and aggregate
does not take place. In case the drop height is more, a remixing of concrete shall be done
before placing.
8) Ensure that the drop of concrete shall not be more than 1.5 meters (as per section 1709).
9) In case of underwater concreting, ensure that extra 10% cement is added in the mix over
and above the required cement quantity as decided in the mix design.
10) If any use of admixtures is allowed, check whether they are being mixed as per the
specifications or approvals.
11) If concrete is pumped, ensure that approved type of pump is being used. Ensure that no
segregation takes place in pipes. Ensure that a continuous pumping is done. In case of
frequent stoppages, the pumps are to be cleaned properly otherwise, the pumped
material will remain in the pipelines. In that case cleaning will be very tedious concreting
operation may have to be stopped till the pump and pipelines are cleaned.
12) Carry out slump test to ensure correct water cement ratio.
13) Ensure mix design being followed.
14) Ensure adequate CC cubes collected for testing.

1) Ensure curing carried out for 14 days.
36-156
2) Ensure CC cubes tested for 7 days and 28 days strength. In case of M:35 concrete 56 and

horizontal and vertical spacing.
6) Check the surface, in case of slab with straight edge. Remove any depressions and
irregularities.
7) Ensure adequate CC cubes collected for testing.
8) Ensure that water is not used as a finishing aid. If approved, use approved chemical
finishing aids or evaporation retardants.
9) During placing of concrete, check for any movement or deformation of forms have the
permissible tolerance limits.
10) Ensure that required cover for reinforcement is maintained and not disturbed while
placing concrete.
1) Ensure date of casting painted on surface as soon as side forms are removed.
