Service.
The general technical specifications are included in Volumes 2A, 2B, and 2C and
describe the general requirements of the civil, mechanical, electrical and Instrumentation,
Control and Automation(ICA) works. Volume 2D contains the Contract drawings. By
reference in this clause Volumes 2A, 2B, 2Cand 2D form part of the Employer’s
Requirements.
If there is a conflict between the specific requirements of this Volume 2 and the general
technical specifications and drawings in Volumes 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D, then the specific
requirements of this Volume 2 and the drawings take precedence in accordance with
Clause 1.5 of the Conditions of Contract.
The terms of the Contract are based upon the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Design,
Build and Operate Projects (the gold book).
1.2 Background to Scheme
This Contract forms part of the Mumbai Sewage Disposal Project (MSDP): Stage II -
Priority Works. The basic objective of the project is to provide a healthier and improved
environment for the people of Mumbai by improving the quality and reliability of
wastewater collection, treatment and disposal, whilst minimizing the impact of
wastewater on the environment.
The sewage collection system in Mumbai comprises seven zones, each operating
independently and comprising a sewage collection network, pumping stations, pumping
mains, wastewater treatment facilities and outfalls.
The sources of the Influent in the Versova catchment comprise domestic and commercial
premises. Background Information for the Versova Catchment is included with this RFP
including:
• Estimated annual raw sewage generation projections for the Versova WwTF
catchment;
• Historic data of the raw sewage flows pumped by the Versova Influent Pumping
Station (IPS) in the recent past.
At present the Influent is conveyed to the Versova WwTF by means of the existing
Versova IPS located at the junction of Link Road and Jayprakash Narayan Road near D.
N. Nagar Metro station. It is planned to convey influent by gravity from Versova
catchment area to new pumping station proposed (by other contractor) in WwTF Versova
premises through a Tunnel (by other Contactor) and further will be pumped to treatment
facility.
Currently the flows received at the Versova IPS near D. N. Nagar Metro station and the
maximum capacity it is able to deliver, are less than the required design capacity of the
Works required under this contract. As network connectivity is improved, the flows
arriving at the existing IPS will increase to exceed its design capacity. Therefore new
pumping station will be installed at WwTF (by other contractor), Versova area and
sewage will conveyed through tunnel by gravity. All of this work will be managed by the
Employer and carried out by others in separate contracts.
The scope of this tender starts from connecting the break pressure tank. The distance
from the break Pressure Tank of new Pumping station to proposed WwTF site boundary
is approximately 200m.

14.3 Loadings
All buildings shall be designed to withstand loads from; wind loads, earth pressures,
seismic loads, water pressures, surcharges due to temporary or permanent conditions;
dead load and imposed load in combination to comply with the relevant design codes
and standards.
Wind loadings on structures shall be calculated in accordance with IS: 875 (Part 3).
The effects of air temperatures and fluctuations in air temperature shall be taken into
account in the designs.
Earth and water pressures shall be determined by the Contractor and shall take into
account the prevailing site conditions and the proposed construction methods.
The Contractor’s attention is drawn to the fact that the ground water table has been
recorded in close proximity to the existing ground levels. Geotechnical investigations

clearly indicated in the design calculations, which are to be included within the
Contractor’s Documents.
14.4 Earthworks, Ground Improvements and Foundations
The new works is to be constructed within the site of existing lagoons and a redundant
section of outfall channel.
Geotechnical information relating to the ground conditions in the lagoons and outfall
channel is included in the Background Information.
In summary, the lagoons and outfall channel are situated over a layer of some 7.0 m to
9.0 m of soft to stiff clay which is of poor bearing capacity and will settle significantly
when loaded. The soft to stiff clay overlies grey fractured basalt. As a consequence it is
considered that the probable optimum solution for foundations for the works built on the
lagoons and outfall channel area will be as follows:
• Prior to any construction work being carried out the lagoons and outfall channel will
have to be drained and sludge will have to be removed and disposed off. Sludge will
have to be dewatered prior to disposal off-site. Prior to draining the outfall channel
the redundant section will have to be isolated from the remaining section which will
continue to receive effluent from the two active lagoons;
• The structures which need to be piled will have to be piled with the pile length
sufficient to bear upon the underlying weathered rock as a minimum. Depending on
loading the piles may have to be extended to bear upon un-weathered rock;
The probable construction sequence is as follows:
1. Empty lagoons of sewage water by pumping into the operating lagoons (discharge
point, rate of flow, pre-treatment requirements to be agreed in advance with MCGM).
2. Dam off the live section of outfall channel and dewater the redundant section by
pumping into the operating lagoons (discharge point, rate of flow, pre-treatment
requirements to be agreed in advance with MCGM).
3. Remove sludge layer from base of lagoons and outfall channel to the original base level.
4. Removed sludge to be dewatered and taken off-site for disposal at an approved
location. Centrate from dewatering to be discharged into the existing lagoons
(discharge point, rate of flow, pre-treatment requirements to be agreed in advance
with MCGM).
5. Layer of graded compacted stone (say 300mm – 500mm thickness) to be placed in
the base of the lagoons to give a working platform/surface for piling rigs.
6. To carry out work in a reasonable time several rigs will be required.
7. Piling installation could commence as soon as access is possible for piling rigs. All
structures shall be on piled foundations.
8. Construction of piled structures could commence as soon as pile installation is
complete.
9. All service connections to structures (pipes, cables, ducts) will have to allow for any
projected differential settlement.
The above is indicative of one possible approach to the Works.
The Contractor is wholly responsible for developing his approach to constructing the
foundations for structures, filling the lagoons and outfall channel to FGL, and dealing with
any related issues such as differential settlement. The Contractor remains fully liable for
the selection, design, construction and performance of the ground improvement
measures he adopts.
Prior to commencing earthworks and foundation works whether as described above or
using different techniques, the Contractor shall submit the geotechnical interpretive
report, calculations for earthworks and foundations as required by Clause 4.4.2 and a
detailed construction method statement and programme relating to this work as required

Upon successful completion of the testing of the Works contemplated by this Section of
the Employer’s Requirements, the Contractor shall be permitted to submit to the
Employer, for the Employer’s approval, the Commissioning Certificate for the Works.
Influent (ADWF or Peak flow as the case may be) shall be available for Commissioning
and for the Plant Proving Period.The Employer shall have a period of 20 (twenty)
Business Days to submit any comments on such proposals and the Contractor shall
comply with all such comments.
In connection with the Test Requirements and Procedures, the Contractor shall
periodically update the detailed testing and inspection programme. The Contractor shall
promptly, and, in any event, at least 10 (ten) Business Days prior to the commencement
of any applicable testing provide the Employer with a copy of such programme and any
updates issued with respect thereto.
The Employer and/or its Representative shall have the right to have representatives
present during inspections and tests of major equipment and systems of the Works in the
factory and on-site during construction. The presence of the Employer during any
inspection or test shall not relieve the Contractor of its responsibility for supplying the
equipment or systems in accordance with the Contractor’s Programme.
Selected items of equipment identified jointly by the Contractor and the Employer,
including major pumps, aeration blowers, dewatering units, switchboards and items of
critical plant must be tested or inspected at the manufacturer's factory before dispatch to
Site. The Employer’s Representative (if it elects to participate) will travel to the
manufacturer's factory where such identified equipment will be run on a test rig set up to
simulate the defined operating parameters for the equipment under test. The tests will be
witnessed by the Employer’s Representative (if it elects to participate).
17.3 Equipment Validation
17.3.1 General
Equipment Validation shall be for the purpose of proving the operational performance
and reliability of key pieces of equipment and ancillary systems that comprise the Plant
identified by the Contractor in the Test Requirements and Procedures. The Equipment
Validation includes as described in more detail below (i) pre-commissioning (on-site)
testing and (ii) hydrostatic validation, in each case, for the pieces of equipment identified
in the Test Procedures and Requirements. Such testing shall be undertaken, in
accordance with this Section of the Employer’s Requirements, upon delivery and
installation of each such piece of equipment to ascertain the mechanical, electrical,
electronic and structural fitness and reliability, as appropriate. The tests shall, as
appropriate, include hydraulic leakage testing of the equipment prior to installation,
confirmation that installation of such equipment is in accordance with manufacturers'
recommendations, pressurized testing of the system pipelines and a visual inspection of
all installed equipment.
During the Works Equipment Validation tests the Contractor shall demonstrate that each
applicable piece of equipment and related system achieves the applicable Technical
Specifications.
Immediately upon arrival at the Site, all equipment shall be inspected by the Contractor
and the Employer's Representative (if it elects to participate) in order to determine
whether any part of the equipment may have been damaged during transit. The
equipment shall be installed by the Contractor without delay whenever possible. If the
equipment cannot be installed immediately, it must be stored by the Contractor under
appropriate conditions.
Within 21 (Twenty one) Days after the completion of any particular Equipment Validation
test, the Contractor shall compile and provide to the Employer’s Representative a final
test report summarizing the results of such test, including all information reasonably
necessary to evaluate the applicable results. The Employer’s Representative shall
indicate in writing within 15 (fifteen) Business Days after receiving from the Contractor
each such test report whether it accepts or disputes that such test results are accurate.
In the event the Employer’s Representative disputes the results submitted by the
Contractor, the Employer’s Representative may request that the Contractor repeats the
relevant test as soon as practicable thereafter.
17.4.1 General
During the Process Commissioning of the Works, Influent shall first be introduced so that
the Activated Sludge can be developed and brought into a stable state.
During the Process Commissioning all elements of the Works shall be operational.
During this period, it is anticipated that the Activated Sludge will take several Days to
develop into a stable steady state and that the quality of the Effluent produced at the
Works will improve gradually. Once the Effluent produced at the Works begins to achieve
the effluent specifications included in Appendix B2, the Process Commissioning will
require a further period in order for the Activated Sludge to fully stabilize. The Process
Commissioning shall be completed once the Activated Sludge has been fully stabilized.
During the Process Commissioning, the Contractor shall monitor and check all
equipment at regular intervals in accordance with the check lists established in the
Testing Plan. Process Commissioning will be successfully achieved when the Works
achieves the performance requirements set forth in Appendix B2 including, without
limitation, achievement of the Effluent Specifications under a full range of anticipated
flow conditions for Influent which is compliant with the quality and quantity parameters
specified in Appendix B1.
During the Process Commissioning, the hydraulic operational performance and reliability
of individual equipment and ancillary systems within the Works as a whole under the
specified hydraulic load will be proven. The hydraulic validation tests shall be carried out
for specific equipment and ancillary systems within the Works and for the Works in
totality (as far as practicable) as specified in the Testing Plan.
During the Process Commissioning, equipment may be stopped to make adjustments
but it should not be necessary to take the whole Works off-line. The control systems at
the Works shall be tested thoroughly under normal operating conditions with adjustments
made to simulate process faults and equipment failures.
Within 10 (ten) Days after completion of the Process Commissioning for the Works, the
Contractor shall compile and submit to the Employer’s Representative the final test
report on the Process Commissioning including all information reasonably necessary to
evaluate the results. The Employer’s Representative shall indicate in writing within 5 (five)
Business Days after receiving the test report on the Process Commissioning from the
Contractor whether it accepts or disputes that such test results are accurate.
During the Process Commissioning or prior to issue of the Commissioning Certificate the
Contractor shall demonstrate that the whole of the Works is capable of passing the
instantaneous pass forward flow (PFF) that it has been designed and constructed to deal
with, without overflow or spillage or exceedance of the levels shown in the final approved
hydraulic profile of the Works. During the Hydraulic Validation Test any section of the
Works under test shall be subject to the return and recycle flows it would be subject to
under normal operation in addition to the test flow rate of the PFF. Since the Influent is
unlikely to be available at this rate during the Commissioning or Plant Proving Period the
Contractor shall propose a method for simulating the PFF. This could include:
• If the works has multiple process trains by passing the appropriate proportion of the
PFF through 1 module;
• Accumulating flow in all sumps so that pump run times can be extended beyond
what would be required by the incoming flow;
• Using available storage to temporarily store incoming flow and then discharge at an
accelerated rate;
• Using temporary pumps to recycle flows to increase flow rates in the portion of the
works subject to recycling.
The Contractor’s proposals for the Hydraulic Validation Test shall be included in the
Testing Plan.
The clean water non-steady state method shall be used to test the manufacturer’s claims
on diffuser performance and to evaluate the electricity consumption of the process under
clean water conditions. This will involve measuring the rate of increase in concentration
of dissolved oxygen in water, which has been deoxygenated. The test shall be carried
out in accordance with the American Society of Civil Engineers Standard “Measurement
of Oxygen Transfer in Clean Water” ANSI/ASCE 2-91, June 1992 or other equivalent
European or internationally recognised standard procedure.
The SOTR test shall be carried out on a section of the Works which has been isolated
and configured such that it is possible to deduce the capacity of the entire Works from
the performance of the section.
The required quantity and quality of water, shall be arranged by contractor.
17.5 Plant Proving Period

19.8 Operation Service Monitoring Group
An Operation Service Monitoring Group (OSMG) will be formed for this Contract. The
purpose of the OSMG is to provide a forum for regular discussion by representatives of
the Employer and Contractor of relevant ongoing matters relating to the Contract.
Meetings of the OSMG will normally take place at monthly intervals, or at such longer
intervals as may be agreed by the OSMG from time to time (such intervals not to exceed
three months). A special meeting of the OSMG may be convened to address abnormal
circumstances.
The Monthly Status Report (MSR) and in particular the Executive Summary of that report
will provide the basis for much of the discussion at the OSMG meetings.
The primary role of the OSMG is to facilitate the harmonious implementation of the
Contract and to provide comfort to the main stakeholders that the interests of all parties
are protected. The Employer and Contractor will be kept informed by their
representatives on the OSMG of relevant operational aspects of the Contract. However,
the Employer’s Representative, as defined in the Contract Documents, will be solely
responsible for the issuing of instructions under the Contract.
It is proposed that the Employer be represented on the OSMG by one senior member of
the Employer’s organisation and by the Employer’s Representative. It is proposed that
the Contractor be represented on the OSMG by one senior member of the Contractor’s
organisation (operations manager) and by the most senior member of the Contractor’s
personnel on site, the Plant Manager.
One of the Employer’s nominees will normally chair the meetings of the OSMG and one
of the representatives of the Contractor will normally minute the proceedings. In certain
circumstances, a special meeting of the OSMG may be held, to which an external
stakeholder, such as a major local industry, may be invited, at the discretion of the
Employer and Contractor.

at the rates approved by the Engineer.
25.31 Tests after Completion
General
On successful completion of “Test on Completion” the Contractor shall carry out over a
period of time not exceeding six months two separate 30 days operational tests. These
tests shall be used to prove the operation of the Works at varying flows and with varying
raw Sewage quality. During these tests Effluent produced by the Works will be entering
the disposal system. These tests after completion shall be undertaken in accordance
with Clause 11 of the General Conditions of Contract.
The timing of the tests shall be determined by the Employer who shall give notice to the
Contractor in accordance with Sub-clause 11.1 of the General Conditions of Contract.
The total time for carrying out the tests shall not be less than six calendar months. One
of the tests for each part shall be carried out in a period of high raw Sewage BOD and
suspended solids.
On commencement of each 30-Days test the Employer shall allocate a continuous
period of not greater than 60 days to complete the test. Any failure to perform during the
60 days period shall restart the ‘30 day clock’. If the part of the Works fails to pass the
test in the 60 days period the test shall be deemed as a failure and the Contractor shall
carry out any necessary remedial work to the satisfaction of the Engineer before the
Contractor restarts the test.
During the tests the Contractor shall take samples to demonstrate that the part of the
Works is performing in accordance with the Employer’s Requirements. The procedure for
taking the samples shall follow the pattern adopted for Test on Completion. Samples
shall be taken at locations and intervals detailed below. The results of the Tests after
