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 rough cost & revised rough cost
estimate is attached.

 REASONS FOR REVISION

1. The sites of tube wells & OHR’s are changed due to non-availability of land on
proposed locations in Administratively Approved & Technically Sanctioned
estimates, 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 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 upto year 2030. At present, 55
tubewells 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 consists of the total area 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
It was assessed in the beginning that it will take 36 months to complete this project
subject to the availability of funds.

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