Collection of baseline data on physical, biological and socio-cultural aspects,
Assessment on positive and negative impacts of the proposed MALSC area on
environment, local communities, and the health and safety of both workers and surrounding
communities by the proposed works, and the design should mitigate or minimize such
impacts and risks, with inclusion of appropriate measures in the design.
Analyzing relevant hazard maps, seismic maps, geotechnical maps, hydrological
investigations, rainfall, drainage, floods, slope failures and landslides risks to find out any
climatic and disaster risks.
Identification and recommendation for cost effective mitigation measures to be
incorporated in the detailed design including their implementation mechanism
Incorporate environmental mitigations measures, Environmental and Social Screening
Report, Project Specific Environmental and Social Master Plan (ESMP), and COVID-19
protocols as prescribed by GoN and the WB in designs, specifications and associated
construction cost estimates, as appropriate.
e) Material Survey
The consultant will conduct the availability of the materials in the municipality markets and
the nearby headquarters of districts. The total transportation charge and its haulage distance
will be estimated for the cost estimate. The proposed structure will be constructed from the
locally available materials as far as possible.
work. Land plot number, name of owner, land type and area, house, cattle shed, fruit and
fodder trees etc. Falling within the proposed area will be tabulated. Entitlement Matrix will be
prepared based on this.
1.7.5 Conceptual Design
In preparing the conceptual plan, the architect will analyse the site conditions and constraints
to determine the requirements and prerequisite. The conceptual land plan will be developed
based upon the following criteria:
existing roads and access points,
topography,
drainage,
environmental considerations,
soils,
vegetation, and
utilities.
based on the detailed engineering design, preparation of all necessary tender drawings,
specifications, bill of quantities, detailed cost estimates, based on concerned district rates
implementation schedule, construction method, and quality control programs; and
Preparation of a detailed design report for discussion and finalization.
Our methodological approach in the undertaking the activities associated with the detailed
engineering design stage is presented below.
The design and details will also conform to the prevailing code of practice. The thrust will be
on the preparation of operational level drawings giving optimum information regarding
dimensions, finishing, rendering and key details.
All detailed design will be prepared in accordance with the requirements of structural design
and recognized good building practices. The architectural design will select building work
materials which are both attractive and durable. Local availability of such materials for future
maintenance purpose will be a selection criterion. Special care will be taken to ensure that
building details conform to the intended usage to the building and to the requirements and
customs of the users of the MALSCs.
For the purpose of furnishing the working or construction drawings, all plans and sections
will be fully dimensioned. Information on materials of finishing, renderings will be
incorporated in the drawing itself. Where required, a separate finishing schedule will be
provided in plan for each room with finished level. All elevations will also be furnished with
exterior rendering and finishing schedule. A standard system of cross referencing the
drawing will be followed so as to facilitate the interpretation of details with respect to their
location, all key positions (expansion, contraction and construction joints etc.) and elements
(doors, windows, stairs, rails, gutters, etc.) will be furnished with construction details in and
appropriate scale. In order to avoid 'Minor lapse' or 'blight' detailing and specification will
take note of:
Cleanliness : Calling for appropriate selection of flooring material, floor slope, floor washing
outlets, height / position of skirting, dado, verandah sloe etc. This aspect should be accorded
the highest priority because of its absolute need in buildings
Water Prevention : Calling for adequate size of gutter, slope, water escapes, and
construction and expansion joint treatment, damp proof treatment, finishing etc. as it has
been seen that number of buildings suffer from related damages in Nepal.
Site adaptation plan for the Buildings: Three factors play a dominant role during the
appropriation of a pre-designed Building to the site. They are:
a. The contour of the site
b. The orientation
c. The approach road
d. the geometry of the site
In several places, the construction of Administrative buildings has been proposed from the
site adaptation of a single design. There should be enough ventilation and light in buildings.
The areas also have to be provided rather generously. The provision of smaller rooms
means the employment of smaller windows and this creates the problem of inadequate light
and ventilation inside the Building. But the use of bigger windows may make the interior cold
at the time of winter and hot at the time of summer and hence an optimum size has to be
found out. It should also be designed in such a way that it will be easy for maintenance.
Standard Code of Practice: Almost all structural analysis and design of Buildings had other
structures in Nepal have so far been based on the recommendation of the Indian code, due
to the none existence of Nepali code previously. Since Nepal lies in active seismic Zone the
code address its particular requirements for seismic safety. Its recommendations are
comparatively better oriented towards the achievement of seismic safety in Building. It
recognizes the importance of detailing, quality of construction for better seismic. Thus, we
propose to follow its recommendations to achieve better professional standards in seismic
design. As Indian code also has not been officially recognized as the 'Code' for Nepal, we
propose to take the professional responsibility of using the 'Nepal code' in the designs of
bugging of Buildings for the center.
c) Electrical Design
The entire wiring system will be concealed in polythene pipe. Electric power for the proposed
Buildings will be designed as per the requirement and prevailing electrification standards. An
alternate standby diesel generator for emergency use will be provided, wherever lighting and
heating are required. 24 hours supply will be considered with the circuit of the emergency
standby generator. IS Code of Practice and latest National Code of Practice published by
GoN, Ministry of Water Resource will be used for the electrical system. The number of
fixtures will be designed based on the Lumen method and required illumination level of the
different rooms. Maximum use of Natural light will be given first option to save unnecessary
lighting bills.
Choice of Fixture:
The types of fittings (and thus the lamps) will be so chosen paying sufficient attention to the
status importance. Fixtures that are easy to maintain / replace will be used.
Protection / Earthing:
Appropriate protection unit will be designed and provided as per the requirement of the
Code. Earthing will be provided as per ISI. Maximum earth resistance will be maintained less
than 10 ohms. A very special care will be taken to make an efficient earth connection.
External Electrification:
Suitable external lighting system will be proposed to illuminate the premise. Those electrical
fittings, which will be suitable to the proposed site, will be proposed after site investigation.
Water Demand:
Water demand calculation will be made in order to facilitate the adequate quantity of water
for different purposes as drinking, cleaning, sanitary, fire protection within the proposed
complex area etc. The water demand will be calculated on the basis of prevailing norms plus
the use of an independent deep tube well boring, if required, will also be considered with
water treatment plant.
Sewage Disposal:
The existing sewerage system will be studied and the new system will be recommended
accordingly.
Necessary arrangements will be made to drain out the rain water from different parts of the
proposed building. Rain water will be drained off with the help of rain water pipes and open
drain provided at different places. Also storm water drainage system will be designed. The
possibility of collecting the rain water and using the same for purposes at gardening,
washing vehicles etc. will be given due consideration.
Internal Sanitary/Plumbing:
Most public lavatories are not properly maintained in Nepal due to one or other reasons.
Hence, the design of plumbing and sanitation for building need special attention. For
common toilets, pour flush system will be considered for cultural and other reasons (low
water consumption, less chance of breakage's, simplicity in cleaning and maintaining etc.).
Selection of floor and wall finishing will take into account the cleaning and maintenance
requirements. This will be given topmost priority because of the need of the high degree of
cleanliness. Water Supply system will have GI pipes and waste pipes may be of HDP (high
density polythene) which is economical and easy to maintain.
Soil excreta will first be disposed into septic tanks from where affluent will be disposed into
internal underground sewer network which will ultimately be connected to drainage system
of the complex.
Fire Fighting:
Firefighting system will be integrated in the design following the well-accepted codes of
practice. This will be reflected in the selection of following elements and facilities:
Exit requirement, type arrangement, capacity, etc. following drafty Fire Safety standards
developed by the Building Code Project.
Internal emergency equipment and facilities in case of casualties
The provision of enough water associated necessary tools so as to facilitate the firefighting
effectively.
Elements of the plan of which landscape is one of the components will be tailored to the
specific requirements of the site and fully integrated into the existing topography. A
harmonious mixture of greenery, lawn, paved walkways and water body will be achieved
within the permissible cost constraints. Emphasis will be laid on selecting system of trees
and flowering shrubs, which need lesser manicuring. Details will be developed to the full
extent, which will enable the contractor to execute the envisaged task.
Specify the standard dimension and position for the placement of the switches, plug
sockets, height hanging light or wall light.
CCTV system
Fire alarm System
Computer Network
Provide catalogue or picture of any fixture and fittings that has been recommended.
Internal and External electrification with connection to the city grid and additionally
augmented by solar/battery backup for vital laboratory functions.
Design report must indicate the designed illumination levels with load calculation for each
room.
Quantity Survey:
Quantity of each item will be calculated using spreadsheet.
Rate Analysis:
The Rate Analysis for the estimate purpose will be based on GoN Norms for Rate Analysis
2041. The unit rates will be adopted for current fiscal year as well as prevailing market rates.
The rates will include all expenses for the completion of the works to the standard as
specified in the Norms for Rate Analysis. The rates basically will consist of direct expenses
as cost of supply and delivery of materials, hauling, storage, lifting, carrying, labor cost for
erection, maintenance. The rates will also include all indirect expenses as contractor's
overhead at 15% of the direct expenses and VAT at 13 % of the total expenses. The Rate
Analysis will be prepared using a computer program.
UNIT RATES:
Unit Price Analysis:
Construction items for which unit prices or lump sum prices would be bid by contractor will
be first identified and they will be annualized considering the following to derive their unit
cost.
Standard GoN norms of unit price analysis and other accepted norms for LCB contracts;
Markets prices;
Availability of materials on local markets or alternative cost of imported materials;
Wages of skilled and unskilled labors;
Mobilization and demobilization cast;
Overheads and profits
Material's Rates:
The unit prices of materials to be adopted for the purpose of rate analysis will be either taken
from the approved rates for the Municipality or from authorized agencies and analyzed
according to GoN Norms and Consultant's experience.
Labor Rates:
Labor Rates will be taken from the office of Housing and Physical Planning, and be verified
with the current market investigation report of market study team.
Cost Estimate:
Based upon the calculated quantities and analyzed rates, cost estimate of different items will
be prepared multiplying the quantity of each item with its unit rate.
Bill of Quantities:
Prepared bills of Quantities will give fairly impression of works requirements. It will contain
the volume of each and every itemized works and contain brief specification. Contractors are
required to enter their rates for each and every item of works to over for materials, labors,
overhead, profit and other obligations like insurance, performance bond, temporary facilities
to engineer and its own staff, post-construction obligation etc.
