1.0 Invitation to Submit Proposal

In response to the Invitation to submit the RFP (Request for Proposal) for Survey works for purpose of Detail
Design and construction drawings of the Kali Gandaki Gorge Hydropower Project situated at Mustang
and Myagdi districts of in Nepal. ; we are pleased to submit the proposal.

This proposal is being submitted by GORKHA HYDRO & ENGINEERING PVT. LTD, Narephat, Jadibutti.

2.0 Objective

As a part of exploratory Program for Kaligandaki Gorge Hydro-Electric Project, Nepal, Hydro
Solution had carried out detailed topographical survey of the project area in 2016. Since then lots of
land features have been changed in the form of landslides, location of barrage and adits etc. This
has necessitated additional and also re-doing of the survey. M/s Kaligandaki Gorge Hydropower Pvt.
Ltd (KGHPL) is recommended to conduct conformity topographical survey of the project area and
detailed survey of project components. Hence, it is proposed to carry out fresh detailed survey in
relocated sites. In pursuance of this, following survey works are proposed.
i. Checking of the coordinates and level of the bench marks / Control network established on the
ground.
ii. Carrying the levels from these bench marks and conduct detailed surveys between assigned levels
covering from Headwork to Power House complex.
iii. The detailed topographical survey shall cover all ground features i.e. nallah, landslides, large boulders
greater than 1m size, road path, foot bridges, river bank protection works, foot track, transmission lines,
towers, villages houses, etc
iv. Survey based Measurements and preparation of the L-sections and cross-sections across
Kaligandaki River in Diversion and Tail race sites.
v. Detailed survey of Project road and Beni-Jomsom Highway under reservoir submergence.

5.0 SURVEY STANDARDS

5.1 General Guidelines

i. Establishing of GPS control points as per requirement nearing to project components

ii. Traversing with 1 second total station.

iii. Precise levelling of the control points.

iv. Marking & Fixing of the cemented concrete pillar for control points/ bench marks.

v. The consultant shall depute its team comprising 2-3 nos of experienced and well trained surveyors
along with equipments at service recipient site for carrying out the assigned scope of work. The team
along with equipment shall be deployed/ mobilized within 3 days from the date of issue of this work
order.

vi. It shall be ensured that the field activates of the assigned scope of work and the team shall take
permission from the site In-charge.

vii. Service provider’s team shall be deputed at site shall work in coordination with the Site In-charge of
the Service Recipient.

5.2 Triangulation
There must be triangulation points in between the Headworks & power house area. These points
are to be reconfirmed for control network confirmation based on established points by the UTM Grid
Co-ordinate System.

5.3 Control Point Establishment

The control at Headworks, powerhouse and surge shaft site, previously established area to be
checked for its confirmation. So, the traverse is run to confirm the co-ordinates of these control
points.
Latest total station Survey equipment such as Leica shall be used for taking the traverse. The
accuracy in final position in coordinates is expected more than 1:10000.
After confirmation of the co-ordinates (x,y) and the reference levels of these control points, other
control points/Bench Marks will be relocated along the project components. The reference point shall
be established at important locations i.e. Headworks, surge shaft, tunnel portals, etc. The reference
point shall be established either on nearby permanent structure or by construction of plain cement
concrete pillar having dimension 300mmx300mm and 800mm high with at least 300mm below
ground.

5.4 Tacheometric Survey Line

Tacheometric survey method will be used for topographical survey of headwork site, powerhouse
area and others structures. The survey will be conducted to fulfill the requirement as given in clause
3.0 above

5.5 Leveling
A leveling survey is to be conducted from Bench mark established at Kaligandaki Gorge HEP. The
closing error will be limited within the accuracy of precise leveling survey. Precise surveys with the
