REVISED DETAILED COST ESTIMATE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF

WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM GUJRAT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.0 LOCATION
Gujrat city is located at a longitude 740 –05’ East and latitude 320-34’ North. The city is
situated on Lahore Rawalpindi Railway line and highway at the distance of 116 Km from
Lahore towards Rawalpindi. It is bounded on North/West by Bhimber Nullah and on
South River Chenab flows quite near the city at distance of about 9 Km.

1.1 HISTORY & REPORT

The present/existing water supply system of Gujrat City, which is decades old, is in its
worst condition. Problems associated with water supply can be categorized into two
broad aspects as Quantity Problems and Quality Problems. Old main distribution network
which was laid to serve population at that time is now overloaded due to immense
increase in demand. Moreover, extension of water supply scheme is carried out by taking
out branches from old system; this has further aggravated the problem. Distribution pipe
network is laid and upgraded without any technical analysis and logic. The extension of
network without any planning and quality of work both adversely affect quantity and
quality of water supply system. The most souring managerial problem is that no
particular department bears the responsibility for malfunctioning of water supply system
of Gujrat.
In view of the above serious problems, the situation warrants immediate arrangements for
providing a new trouble free water supply system for the city. The outcome of the project
will hopefully remove the deficiency in the existing system and improve the already
planned portions of the network. The implementation of this project will improve the
living condition of the people.
The scheme was administratively approved for Rs. 684.050 million by the Govt: of
Punjab HUD & PHE Department: vide memo No. SO(PH) v-42/85 dated 10-2-2009 and
detailed cost estimate for Rs. 654.914 million has already been technically sanctioned by
Chief Engineer (North) PHED Lahore vide memo No. 7391/P&D-l dated 6-5-2009. Rates
provided in both Rough cost and detailed cost estimates are based on MRS 1 st Quarter
January to March 2009. Scope of work of Administratively Approved & Revised Rough
Cost is attached.

1.2 REASONS FOR REVISION

1. The sites of tube wells & OHR’s are changed due to non-availability of land on proposed
locations as already approved in original PC-I. Resultantly the length & sizes of rising
mains and distribution system are totally changed. The quantities of pipes & other related
items are increased or decreased, so this is a main cause of revision of this revised rough
cost estimate. In this revised rough cost estimate the provisions have been made according
to revised design of distribution system.
2. The provision of tertiary lines 3” dia has been made in leftover areas in the light of
discussion with XEN and other PHED staff as per CM Directive.
3. Provision for claims regarding price variation and NOC for Railway, NHA and Provincial
Highway have been made according to site requirements.
4. Provision of imported PVC specials was very less in original PC-I which has been
increased as per site requirement.
5. Provision of dismantling of road is increased due to two or three layers of metaled road and
brick flooring.
6. The quantity of reinstatement of roads was taken provisionally in the original estimate.
Now the quantity has been increased as per actual site requirement as given in the length
statement.
7. The provision for Consultant’s liabilities and construction supervision for the remaining
work has been made in revised rough cost estimate.

1.2 DESIGN
The design horizon of the Project has been taken up to year 2030. At present, 55 tube wells exist
in the city having capacity of 53.5 cusecs. To meet the additional water demand, 17 new tube
wells have been proposed. In the proposed system capacity of pumps is worked on maximum
daily demand with 16 hours of pumping to meet average daily demand. In order to make this
option financially feasible, the capacity of each overhead tank has been restricted to 100,000
gallons. So, 17 new overhead tanks with capacity of 100,000 gallons & 50,000 gallons have been
proposed.

1.3 AREA OF THE PROJECT

The project area under scope of water supply system covers the 15 Union Councils of the Gujrat
city.

1.4 DESIGN POPULATION

The population of 15 Union Councils will be benefited through this project
.

1.5 SCOPE OF WORK

The scope of work is given below:
1. Review of the available data and reports to ascertain their adequacy and need for
additional data
2. Inventory and specific capacity testing of all the existing operative tube wells to
determine the existing status of each tube Well and pumps
3. Study of existing water supply system including storage reservoirs of Gujrat
City. Recommendation for its rehabilitation/ augmentation/ improvement
4. Soil investigation to determine safe bearing capacity and classification of soil for
construction of the proposed additional over head reservoir
5. Establishment of Design Criteria including factors like per capita consumption,
demand fluctuation factors etc.
6. Selection of suitable water source, new water supply transmission and
distribution mains and storage reservoirs to cater for newly designed components for
water supply system over the specified Design Period.
7. Preparation of comprehensive computer model to analyze water requirements
based on the Design Year 2030, water demand and integration of existing water supply
with new proposed schemes.

1.6 TIME
The project activities have been executed since April 09, 2009 and it was assessed that it will take
about 36 months after design to complete the remaining project activities subject to the
availability of funds. The time period is considered for balance works from the date of
demobilization of Consultants i.e. August, 2014.

1.7 COST
The total revised cost of this project has been estimated for Rs. 829.87 Million including 2%
contingencies.

1.9 EXECUTION AGENCY

This sub-project shall be got executed through Executive Engineer Public Health Engineering
Division, Gujrat. The work has already been awarded to three contractors through competitive
bidding.

1.10 RATES
Two approaches of cost estimation has been exercised in estimate based on actually awarded
works to the contractors and work yet to be awarded. The awarded works have been reported as
Part – I in revised estimate and work yet to be awarded is presented as Part – II.
