3.3 General Issues:

The progress is not as per programme. The major factors that hindered the progress of
works were:
1. Delay in obtaining statutory clearances for erection of plants and crushers from
the State Pollution Control Board, Mining and Geology Department and local
bodies.
2. Unprecedented unseasonal rains affected adversely works in all the contract
Packages.
3. Resistance in identifying, erecting and operating crushers and quarry from the
local people.
4. Poor cashflow problems with the contractors.
5. Shortage of machinery, labour force in most of the contracts.
6. Frequent changes made in key personnel in some of the contracts by the
contractor
7. Migrant labours working in all packages and labourers not available during
festival season for long duration.
8. Lack of planning and managerial issues in contracts I, II & V
9. Work Contract-III terminated. Balance works procured under two contract (3A &
3B)
10. Delay in getting Environmental Clearance from Government Agency for excavation
and conveyance of earth from borrow area.
Page16
All these issues are now sorted out and the works are in progress now. The contractors
were instructed to speed up the works to show better results.
Contract Package-III
terminated due to poor performance of the contractor.
3.4 Stringent Actions for Breach of Contract:

The contract for Package-III has been terminated due to non performance and
emergency work arranged to make the road motorable and complete. The balance works
are under arrangement in two packages 3A & 3B
For Package V the contractor
responded to the notice under clause 15.1 and improved performance.
The work is
being closely monitored on daily basis by CSC and PMT. For Package 1 and 2 notice
under Clause 15.1 was issued and the contractor has mobilized additional resources
and opened additional work fronts and the work has gained momentum now.

4.10 Potential Issues
Lack of resources at site which reflected in planning of works at site, delay in

preparing mix designs, delay in submission of working cross sections, in
preparation of survey data etc.
The poor cash flow of Contractor has seriously hampered the progress of works.
There were delays in shifting of utilities. However Employer and the Contractors
are coordinating with various Service Providers like KSEB, KWA, BSNL, Forest
and other departments for shifting of utilities and tree cutting along the project.
Monthly Achieved Progress is not improving and progress of works is not at all at
par with the targeted progress. Instructions are issued to the Contractor for
taking stringent measures to enhance the progress of works. Clause 15.1 Notice
to Correct issued on 23rd June 2015 and works speeded up.
4.11 Payments to the Contractor
Mobilization advance, Equipment advance and Interim payment Certificate for works up
to (IPC-13) was paid to the Contractor amounting to Rs. 442082448/-. Timely payments
are released to the contractor. The Steering Committee held on 28.06.2014 lowered the
threshold limit of minimum IPC amount for Rs. 1.5 crores from Rs. 3.00 crores to
facilitate the cash flow of contractor. There is no pending payment to contractor.
4.12 Implementation of EMP

4.12.0.1 Environment Management at work sites
The CSC is closely watching the implementation of EMP and instructing the contractor
to improve the measures adopted by them. The Environmental Engineer of CSC
conducting regular site visits to project site and base camps. Measures taken by the
Contractor for implementing the mitigation measures proposed in the EMP are reviewed.
The progress of the work was not satisfactory. The construction of via duct and other
ancillary works was stopped by locals demanding that a weir to be constructed instead
of a culvert removed by KSTP for viaduct construction .A dispute raised by WRD
demanding that they will construct the weir at accost of 90 lakhs and the amount to be
remitted by KSTP in advance. Considering the delay in arranging the works by WRD
KSTP informed that the work can be entrusted to the contractor under the supervision of
WRD. This arrangement was not accepting by them, There for a high level meeting is to
be convened to resolve the issue. . The debris and cofferdam from the viaduct and
Chithari bridge site is partially removed. Contractor was asked to develop oxbow land
along the corridor wherever enough land is available. Contractor will prepare site specific
plans for approval of the Engineer. This was pending with the contractor. Contractor

obtaining approval of the Steering Committee on 28th July 2014.

awarded.
