RESPONSE MATRIX ON THE U4K DESIGN REPORT REVIEW OPRC PACKAGE 12

S/N Comment Ref COMMENTS/CONCERN BY MC ACTION/RESPONSE BY CE

1 Clause 5.2.6  DCP –CBR Relationship is calculated
refer to TRL (CBR)=2.48-
1.057Log(DCP Number) whereas,
the CBR on all layer properties for
dcp test were being calculated using
(CBR)=2.632-1.28Log(DCP Number)
On the attached results appendix B
Therefore, calculation should be
the same refer to TRL standard.
 Contractor should indicate the DCP
Test Refusal on test pit points
where 1meter DCP rod did not
further penetrate due to some
difficulties underground condition
and also indicate points of in-situ
material on test pits where material
where not sampled respectively.

2 Clause 7.1  All seven (7) borrow pits which are

located on U4k has failed to meet
some properties required for
unpaved road pavement design in
rural areas according to standard
specified under TRH 20 document
 The sieve line up used based on
satcc 3402/1 didn’t conform to TRH
20 sieve line up to calculate grading
coefficient. (Check Percentage
Passing 26.5mm sieve ‘TRH 20’)’’
Contractor can use soils sieve line
up that can conform to
recommended material
specification for unpaved road in
rural areas.

 Borrow pit quantification where not
done to determine the availability
of material to use on road project
except the location of borrow pit’s
with one GPS coordinate for each
borrow pit point.
 In-situ material for Test pit points of
dcp are not fully reported for
further analysis only three (3) points
are attached on appendix E such as
km 20+000, km25+000 and
km36+000

3 Clause 7.2.4 Contractor should Specify the precisely

name of the streams/rivers where water
samples were collected with chainages.
