Recommendation:
Replace the Serial Number 3 with respective Clause of Specifications 1-2 of Work Norms for Construction, Rehabilitation and Maintenance of Rural Roads by above items of
works

Justifucation:
Dismantling work is used more in the maintenance of road and also often used in construction and rehabilitation works. It is also used in upgrading of the roads. The items of
works provided in S.No 3 having respective Specification Clause 1-2 does not indicate the type of brick and stone masonry to be dismantled. Also it is not clear for the
dismantling of flexible and rigid pavement, so dismentling of brick masonry and stone masonry are catagorised in two groups i) brick work in mud mortar and cememt mortar
and ii) stone masonry in dry masonry and cement mortar respectively. In addition to that items for dismantling of cement concrete is divided in two types i) Reinforced Concrete
and ii) Plane Cement Concrete similarly dismentaling of road pavement is provided in rigid and flexoible pavement. Flexible pavement is divided in two catagories one WBM
ie un-matelled surface and other of bituminous surface. Further more work items for dismentaling of RCC pipes as well as gabion structures are incorporated in this item of
works.

It is recommended to use the above norms for construction of gabion structure. It provides the manpower required for installation of gabion crates at site which
includs assembling, lacing different mesh panels, placing in position and lacing the top lead after filling the stone. For analysis of rates the cost of respective
size of gabion crates (excluding cost of lacing wire) shall be taken from the manufacturer.

Justification:
This norms for the above item of work is as per the DoR norms regarding manpower for placining in possion and other activities required for gabion box at site.
The quantity of binding wire is calculated as required for Lacing of adjoining panels; bracing and lacing of adjoining boxes. The requirements for the
mechanically produced gabion crates shall be as per the specification provided in this report.
