Page 2
9. DOCUMENTATION
All the data sheets duly signed by the concerned will be suitably stitched in files,
labeled and sent to TES Head Quarters.
10. WORK PROCEDURE
To Start with, the consultants will make an inventory of all existing bridges and
culverts falling on the project road. This will be followed by a detailed condition survey
of these structures.
The investigation strategy for condition assessment will be at three levels, namely a
visual inspection to assess the overall integrity of the structures, a general survey
including a limited amount of physical testing to plan more detailed investigation and
possible rehabilitation/replacement and finally a detailed survey to determine the extent
and precise location of deterioration or damage for the purpose of evaluating the
capacity of the structure.
In the above context the condition assessment work will be undertaken under 3
categories as detailed below:
Category 1: Assessment of Culvert Condition
Under this category condition of culverts will be assessed by visual inspection in terms
of chocking, reinforcement exposed at edges of pipe/slab/box, broken parapet/head
wall, condition of pipe/slab, erosion at bed level, poor or eroded pitching condition,
adequacy of vantage, upstream & downstream condition, spalling of concrete etc.
Category 2: Assessment of minor damages for Bridges/Structure
Minor distresses of bridge/structures such as minor cracks at soffit/edge, leaching at

soffit/edges, condition of drainage spout, parapet, wearing coat, sub-structure and

Page 3
superstructure condition, expansion joint, scouring at bed/foundation etc. The above

will be based on visual inspection.
Category 3: Assessment of major distresses of Bridge/Structures
This is mainly meant for bridges/structures which need reconstruction based their
existing condition. The bridges under this category shall be identified to be in major
distressed condition such as dilapidated condition of superstructure/substructure,
sagging at central part of superstructure, excessive vibration during traffic movement.
The structures will be inspected closely by Bridge Engineer assisted by an Assistant
Engineer to make condition assessment based on above criteria. The necessary
tests/technique shall be employed by the Bridge Engineer based on the specific
requirement of the structure.
Based on the above three categories, the collected data/assessment will be properly
tabulated as per the guidelines of IRC: SP: 40.
The format for recording bridge/culvert inventory and condition survey are enclosed.

AXLE LOAD SURVEY
QAP-5
AXLE LOAD SURVEY
1. TOR REQUIREMENTS
Axle load survey in both directions shall be carried out at a suitable location identified
by the Traffic Engineer and subsequently finalized in consultation with the department.
The survey to be carried out on a random sample basis normally for trucks only (both
empty and loaded trucks) for 1 normal day (24 hours) along with OD Surveys. Some
sample loadings of buses plying on the project road shall also be noted.
The selection of axle load survey station shall not include any existing cross drainage
structures which have load restrictions for vehicles passing over it.
Help of local police will be taken to stop and divert the vehicles on to the weigh pads.
3. EQUIPMENT
The equipment to be used will be the Portable electronic Weigh Bridge System. The
system comprises 2 elements: a pair of weigh pads and a remote indicator unit. The set
up of this weigh system on a typical road location is illustrated in Fig: 5.1. As may be
seen from this figure, the weigh pad is positioned on the shoulder close to the pavement
edge. Top level of the pad will be so adjusted that while measuring the wheel load, the
vehicle’s axle is horizontal.
Prior to start of the survey, calibration of the weigh pads and operation of the recording
system will be done through the following procedure:
 Place the axle-pad near a weigh bridge

 Measure axle weights on pads
 Add up the total weight of vehicle
 Weigh the same vehicle on a standard weigh bridge.
 Carry out the above for different class and types of vehicles for which axle-loads
are intended to be carried out

Page 1
QAP-5
AXLE LOAD SURVEY
 Develop a graph or equation for calibration of data obtained from axle-load survey
In the absence of any IRC/IS standard on the subject, the work will be carried out
following the Consultants’ in-house procedure based on the manufacturer’s
recommendation.
The survey team will carry with them the following documents:
 letter of authority from department to carry out the survey
 a list of equipment including identification numbers
 a letter for octroi exemption
Assistance of local police will be taken to stop vehicles and to divert these onto the
weigh pads. The requirement is same for weighing vehicles on a weighbridge.
A temporary sign intimating the conductance of the survey and advising heavy vehicles
to slow down will be posted at about 200 m in advance of the weigh station in both the
directions. Other warning measures as recommended in MORT&H “Pocketbook for
Highway Engineers” will also be taken into account.
The axle load survey station will be located at the same place as that for O-D survey.
This will be located where the road is straight and more or less level and where
adequate shoulder space is available. The location will sufficiently away from
narrow/weak bridges or congested stretches. Preferably, the location should be in an
illuminated place. Otherwise, temporary lights will be used for conducting the survey
during hours of darkness.
Further, flagmen with red flags, and with red lamps, blinking torch during night, will be
positioned for warning public vehicles, and for guiding heavy vehicles to be weighed
on to the weigh bridge. Red cones for delineating path of vehicles to be weighed will
also be installed.

Page 2
QAP-5
AXLE LOAD SURVEY
The data will be recorded by the Assistant Engineer on proforma. At the end of the
survey, the manually filled data sheets will be signed on each page by the Assistant
Engineer and countersigned by the Highway Engineer as a measure of authentication of
the collected data.
8. DOCUMENTATION
All the data sheets will be suitably filed and sent to TES Head Office for data analysis.
9. WORK PROCEDURE
The work consists of several activities, and process control checks will be exercised on
these. These include:
 Choice of location of weigh stations
 Correct positioning of weigh pads
 Making arrangement for jerk-free mounting of vehicle tyres onto the pads
 Recording load data on the data sheets and taking the axle load to be twice that
of the weighed wheel load.
 Ensuring that the sample covers all types of commercial vehicles, viz. LCVs,
medium commercial vehicles (MCV), heavy commercial vehicles, semi-trailers
of different configurations. A few representative buses will also be weighed.
The vehicles whether they are empty or full would be weighed.
This procedure would be repeated alternately for two sides as it is not possible to divert
traffic from one side to other.
10. PROPOSED LOCATIONS FOR AXLE LOAD SURVEY
It is proposed to conduct the axle load survey at the same locations as for the O-D
survey; police help is required for both these activities. It is preferable to conduct at the
same day and same duration
Format for recording axle load data during the survey is enclosed as Form 12.

QAP-7
FWD SURVEY
Outer wheel paths of inner lanes: -
For multi lane single carriageway: - at 4.0m from the outer edge of the outer lane.
For divided carriageway with two lanes in each direction: - 4.2m from the outer edge of
outer lane.
For divided carriageways with three lanes in each direction 4.2m from the outer edge of
outer lane for central lane and at 5.2m from the outer edge of outer lane for the lane
adjacent to median.
3. EQUIPMENT
The equipment used will be as follows:
 Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) Machine

 Banners and red cones for traffic safety
 Glycerol and 0 – 100o C thermometer
 A portable tyre pressure gauge to adjust the tyre pressure to 5.6 kg/cm2, and
hand tools for making holes in the bituminous pavement for temperature
measurement.
The Deflections are measured as per the IRC: 115-2014 guidelines. The target peak
load to be applied on bituminous pavements is 40 Kn (+ /- Kn) which corresponds to
the load on one dual wheel set of 80 Kn standard axle load. Deflections are measured at
1.0 m from the edge of outer lane, with points staggered for both the directions. If the
load applied is different from 40 Kn, the measured deflections are normalized to
correspond to standard target load 40 Kn.
IRC: 115 - 2014
The survey team will carry with them the following documents:
 letter of authority from department to carry out the survey

Page 2
QAP-7
FWD SURVEY

Sufficient number of safety cones (red and white striped), on the road side will be
positioned when the deflection measurements are being taken. Besides, banners stating
“ROAD TEST – KEEP DISTANCE” will be posted on the front and rear of the test
vehicle.
Data collected would include:
 lane position
 distance from carriageway edge (m)
 air temperature
 pavement temperature
 Load drop no.
 Peak load applied
 Peak deflections observed at radial distances in mm
The measured surface deflections are normalized to a standard load of 40 Kn, along
with other inputs such as radial distances at which deflections are measured, layer
thicknesses, Poisson’s ratio values of different layers, applied peak load and loading
plate radius, are used to back calculate the elastic moduli of different layers of the
existing pavement using an appropriate back calculation technique. The back calculated
moduli are used for the analysis of the in-service pavement and for assessment of the
structural condition of the pavement.
The data will further be examined by the Pavement Specialist in the light of pavement
condition/ composition data and tests giving incompatible results will be repeated.
8. DOCUMENTATION
All the data sheets will be signed by the person responsible for the survey and sent to
the TES Head Office for data analysis. The data will also be stored in CD.
9. WORK PROCEDURE

Page 3
QAP-7
FWD SURVEY
It is proposed to deploy one FWD team for the project road. The team will consist of
the following persons:
Pavement Engineer - In-charge of the team and for conducting FWD
tests and temperature readings
Two Assistant Engineer - to assist the pavement engineer.
Two labourers - To mark the homogeneous section
Two labourers - To guide the test vehicle.
Two Flagmen - To control and guide the traffic
Car/Jeep - For movement of the Engineer
The working procedure as elaborated in IRC: 115-2014, for measuring the deflection of
the pavement is briefly described below:
 The point on the pavement to be tested is selected and marked at a distance of

1.0 m from the edge of the pavement, if it is already a two-lane road
 Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) is fully automatic impulse-loading device

in which a transient load is applied to the pavement and the deflected shape of
the pavement surface is measured. The working principle of a typical FWD with
SIX geophones is illustrated below. The circular loading plate used for the
deflection measurements is 300 mm diameter. An impact load of 100 Kn (max)
can be applied on the pavement. The distance measuring unit of the FWD is
GPS integrated. The geo-phones are spaced 300 mm apart i.e. placed at 0, 300
mm, 600 mm, 900 mm, 1200 mm and 1500 mm distance from the center of the
plate.

Page 4
QAP-7
FWD SURVEY
 Impulse load is applied vertically by means of a falling mass on a system of

springs placed over a circular loading plate thrice, whereas the first fall is taken
as the seating load. The deflections are measured using displacement sensors. A
trailer mounted FWD, towed by a vehicle, and is used for the deflection
measurements. A mass of weight dropped from a pre-determined height, onto a
series of springs/ buffers placed on top of a loading plate, provides peak load
and the result at peak vertical surface deflections at different radial locations are
measured and recorded.
 Pavement temperature is recorded at least once every hour by inserting

thermometer in the standard hole and filling up the hole with glycerol.
 Tyre pressure will be checked at two- or three-hour intervals during the day and
adjusted to 5.6 kg/cm2.
Side by side with the deflection measurements, the condition of the pavement will also
be recorded. This will supplement the data on road condition survey already collected.
The supervising Highway and Pavement Engineer will have a periodic check
particularly with regard to the following aspects:
 correct positioning of the geophones.

 correct measurement of pavement temperature
 contact tyre pressure.

SUBGRADE
CHARACTERISTICS
AND STRENGTH
9. WORK PROCEDURE
Identification of homogeneous road segments and evaluation of subgrade

characteristics
The TOR requires division of the road into segments, homogenous with respect to
roughness and strength. As the surface renewal, as part of periodic maintenance, in
stretches, year to year covers up the inherent characteristics of the pavement and shows
up better riding quality, the consultants propose to rely on strength of the pavement as
given by BBD in delineating homogenous sections. For this purpose, the results of main
line BBD tests will be used in the cumulative difference approach of AASHTO-1993.
For each homogenous strength section so determined and in conjunction with the type
of subgrade soil, location of test pits for in-situ tests, sampling and laboratory testing of
subgrade samples will be identified in such a way that at least 3 samples for each
homogenous section or for each type of soil whichever is more frequent are available.
The test pits of 1.0 m x 1.0 m will be dug into the shoulders at pavement-shoulder
interface for carrying out all the required in-situ tests as per TOR and for collecting
subgrade samples for conducting detailed laboratory tests.
Besides the above large pits, small pits of 0.6 m x 0.6 m will be dug at 500 m intervals
at pavement-shoulder interface for ascertaining the thickness and composition of the
existing pavement layers and for analyzing correlations between main line BBD and
pavement thickness.
Evaluation of Subgrade Characteristics along New Alignments
Where the road is in cut or where the existing ground is within 500 mm from top of
proposed subgrade level, test pits will be dug for each soil type subject to a minimum of
5 km frequency to carry out all the in-situ and laboratory tests as for sub grades along
existing pavement.
Where the natural ground is at such a low level as not to form a part of proposed
subgrade, auger boring to a depth of 1.0 m or to refusal will be made to collect the
disturbed samples and to log the type of soil and the depth of ground water table.

 IMU (inertial measurement unit), GPS antenna, ladybug camera and laser
sensor are mounted on a standard two-tier roof bar.
 The controller computer and other accessories are mounted inside the
vehicle. The connecting cables are tied together using cable and fed through
the vehicle’s windows.
9.6. Calibration Survey
When choosing a suitable calibration site, the following factors should be considered:
 Good satellite visibility

 Suitable nearby initialization area where a speed of at least 50-60 kmph can be
maintained in an area with good GPS visibility for at least 5 minutes.

Page 4
QAP-11
TOPOGRAPHIC
SURVEY
 The calibration area should preferably be an area with low traffic volumes so that
the calibration can be done safely with a degree of freedom with the driving pattern.
 The calibration area should contain large, open flat surfaces for roll adjustments, for
example an open parking area.
 The calibration area should contain some vertical surfaces for heading and pitch
adjustments.
9.7. Processing to determine Calibration parameters
 Processing the data to prepare for the process of solving the calibration parameters
is similar to processing a usual MLS (multiple listing service) project.
10. MLS DATA ACQUISITION
10.1. Initialization and De-initialization

All surveys, including the calibration survey, started and ended with an initialization
run. The aim of the initialization run is to align the IMU with the GPS. This is
achieved by driving the entire MLS system for approximately 5 minutes at speed
reaching 60-80km/h, in an area with good GPS coverage
10.2. Capture LiDAR & Photos
 Typically, the MLS data acquisition is done by a 2-man crew.

 The first crew-member is responsible to drive the vehicle.
 The driver should familiarize himself with the location and extents of the area to be
surveyed, the location of a suitable initialization area.
 The driving pattern necessary to capture the project area and all the required cross
roads.
 The driving speed necessary for optimal results and with minimum traffic
interruption.
 The second crew-member is responsible to operate the MLS systems and monitor
the processes during data capturing. Throughout the data capturing process there
are essentially 3 processes (and 3 windows) to monitor:

Page 5
QAP-11
TOPOGRAPHIC
SURVEY
Aero-Control – This software monitors the GPS position, number of satellites, PDOP,
and IMU logging. The software also reports on GPS/IMU/Timestamp synchronization.
The operator will keep this window open to ensure the systems remain synchronized
and to monitor GPS parameters. A loss of synchronization between any of the systems
generally means a connection problem and could result in incorrect data.
Riegl Scan – This software controls the laser sensor and is used to set the laser
scanners parameters (Line interval, scan frequency and logging options), and to stop
and start logging. The operator typically stops the laser sensor when the vehicle is
stationary (for example when waiting at a red traffic light), and start the sensor when
the vehicle starts moving.
Ladybug Capture – This software controls the Ladybug camera. Various parameters
can be set to control the exposure, white balance, interval, resolution etc.
10.3. Deliverables Include
 Mapping of 100m wide corridor in DWG or SHP (Shape file) format or otherwise
agreed
 Spherical imagery (360 degrees panoramic view)
 LiDAR point cloud viewer (Cloud view)
 Project report and full metadata report supplied with each project deliverable.
10.4. MLS Processing
MLS Data Processing starts by calculating the trajectory. This is a 2-stage process. The
first stage is the GPS differential processing, and the second stage combines the GPS
and IMU data for rigorous backwards/forwards processing to align the IMU with GPS
and add Roll, Pitch and Heading values to the trajectory at IMU logging intervals.
GPS Differential Post Processing needs to be done using a Base Station and a Roving
GPS. The roving GPS is installed in the Data Processing Unit and the antenna is
installed on top of the IMU. Lever arm values are therefore zero in x and y (i.e. the GPS
position is coincident with the centre of the IMU), and the z value is 0,536 (the distance
from the GPS antenna to the centre of the IMU).

Page 6
QAP-11
TOPOGRAPHIC
SURVEY
The 2nd stage in calculating the trajectory is to combine the GPS trajectory with the
IMU data. The software calculates the best IMU alignment through an iterative process.
The calculation runs backwards and forwards and it typically takes 3 to 20 cycles to
reach a good solution. The data processor needs to take the following into account:
INS Position RMS – This is an indication of the expected accuracy of the flightlines.
INS Gyro Bias – This is measured in degrees per hour. Initial iterations should show
consistent improvements until it stabilizes, indicating that additional cycles are not
necessary. Typical values are 0.20 for z and 0.10 for x and y.
GPS/INS Differences – This should be very low for good-GPS areas. High differences
are an indication that the IMU was not sufficiently aligned. For good-GPS areas the
values should be better than 0.03m.
10.5. LiDAR
 When the trajectory is final, it can be combined with the data from the laser sensor
to calculate a point cloud.
 The calibration parameters are used to determine the angular offset between the
laser sensor and the IMU.
 The laser sensor data contains timestamps that are used to synchronize the
trajectory data with the laser data to calculate point positions.
 The points are stored in LAS files in geographical coordinates. The number of
points stored in each file equals the number of points stored in the raw laser file and
can be hundreds of millions of points.
 The next step is to divide the points into logical blocks of manageable size. The
points are imported using Terrasolid in Microstation and saved into blocks of
typically 8 million points or less. Terrasolid is configured to apply the chosen
datum transformation and grid coordinate conversion to the geographical
coordinates when the points are imported.
10.6. Photos
 Photographs are used to add value to the MLS data. The intensity values from the
point cloud are not always sufficient to show fine details clearly. Photographs

Page 7
QAP-11
TOPOGRAPHIC
SURVEY
enable the user to assess a certain area with better clarity in near real-world
colours. The photographs were taken using a Ladybug 2 spherical camera system.
 The camera has 6 lenses, 5 side-facing cameras arranged horizontally and one
upward facing camera. The upward facing camera was not used due to the
position of the GPS antenna on top of the Ladybug camera.
 The cameras took photographs at minimum 2Hz intervals.
10.7. Ladybug 2 Camera System
 The photographs are stored in a continuous digital stream and the photos are
extracted during the Post Processing process. Photos are extracted individually (one
photo from each lens), but can be stitched together automatically to create spherical
images.
 Once the photographs are imported in Terra Photo and the lens calibrations and
alignment angles are solved, one can use Terra Photo to:
 Create Views of points projected unto the photographs
 Generate basic ortho photos

QAP-15
ECONOMIC AND
FINANCIAL
ANALYSIS
8.1. Economic Analysis
HDM Inputs
The economic analysis involves comparison of project costs and benefits in economic
terms and determining the viability indicators using the discounted cash-flow
technique. The Consultants will carry out the economic analysis using “Highway
Development and Management Model” (HDM-4).
The main benefits of any road upgradation project are the vehicle operating cost (VOC)
savings and the time savings. These will be estimated by comparison of "with" and
"without" project situations. The main inputs for the VOC sub-model relate to
 road and pavement characteristics – existing as well as proposed

 traffic volume and its composition
 construction and maintenance policies
 vehicle characteristics
 Economic prices for vehicles, fuel, tyres etc.
 Unit cost of construction and maintenance
All the inputs for road and pavement characteristics (existing as well as proposed),
construction and maintenance policies, cost of construction and maintenance will be
provided by the Pavement Specialist/Highway Engineer designated for the project
team. The base year traffic with its composition, the vehicle occupancy data and ESA
factor for different vehicle types will be based on the results of the traffic surveys done
as part of the present study. The values of these items will be finalised after consistency
checks are carried out by the Traffic Engineer, and only then provided as an input for
HDM Model. PCU factor for different vehicle types will be as per IRC-64 adopted for
traffic studies. The inputs relating to vehicle utilisation data and other vehicle
characteristics will be based on typical values being used in other similar projects.
In addition, the Consultants will collect the data for the latest market (financial) prices
for representative models in different vehicle categories, tyres and fuel (petrol and
diesel). The economic prices for vehicles, tyres and fuel will be calculated by
subtracting taxes (mainly excise duties and sales tax) from the market prices.

Page 3
QAP-15
ECONOMIC AND
FINANCIAL
ANALYSIS
Value of Time
The values of time for passengers and goods in transit have been extensively researched
for M/o RT&H by Central Road Research Institute in Updating of Road User Cost
Data, 2001. The Consultants propose to update the 2000 values of this report to current
2005 values using Wholesale Price Index (WPI) for value of commodities and
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for value of time for car and bus passengers.
Accident Benefits
For calculating the benefits from the reduced incidence of road accidents, the
Consultants will collect the statistics on road accidents by cause and by type of damage.
Some reasonable estimate for reduction in accidents will be made based on similar
studies. The cost of accidents and vehicular damage will be based on the values
assigned to each type of accident in IRC-Special Publication 30 for “Manual for
Economic Evaluation of Highway Projects in India”, and will be updated to the current
price level by WPI.
Project Costs
The project costs, capital as well as maintenance costs, computed by Highway Engineer
are based on market prices. These costs in financial terms will be converted into
economic terms by using the Conversion Factor (CF) of 0.9, as suggested by the World
Bank for highway projects in India (vide World Bank Office Memorandum of SAS
Staff dated July 7, 1997). The conversion factor of 0.9 will be applied to all cost items
except land acquisition. The economic cost of land acquisition is taken to be the same
as financial cost because in most cases, as the land belongs to the Government, there
are practical problems in establishing its opportunity cost. The land is acquired for a
specific purpose and cannot be utilised for any other use. Toll Plaza related costs viz.
cost of construction and O&M cost are not included in economic analysis as these are
incurred for specific purpose of toll collection.
Economic Viability Indicators
The results of the economic viability will be expressed in terms of Net Present Value
(NPV) and Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR). NPV of net benefits would be

Page 4
QAP-15
ECONOMIC AND
FINANCIAL
ANALYSIS
computed using the prevailing discount rate of 12 percent. The EIRR computed for the
project will be compared with the accounting rate of return, currently taken as 12
percent by Planning Commission for transport infrastructure projects in India.
The sensitivity analysis covering cases of increase in costs and/or decrease in benefits
will be undertaken to study the impact on NPV and EIRR of the project road.
8.2. Financial Analysis
Financial Model
The objective of the financial analysis is to evaluate the financial viability of the project
on commercial format (BOT). The viability of the project will be expressed in terms of
Financial Internal Rate of Return (FIRR) on total investment and on equity investment.
For this purpose, the financial model developed in-house by the Consultants will be
used. The model projects, in spread sheet format, the key financial statements of the
investor over the concession period including depreciation schedule, loan repayment
schedule, projected income statement and projected funds flow statement.
Project Cost
The base cost of the project in financial terms relating to civil works for roads, culverts,
bridges and toll collection system, will be provided by Highway Engineer of the project
team. This cost will be annually phased over the construction period as per pre-
determined work schedule provided by Highway Engineer. The annual stream of
maintenance costs will be prepared using costs of maintenance, both routine and
periodic, provided by Highway Engineer. In addition, annual stream of O&M costs
relating to toll plazas will also be prepared by using the input provided by Traffic
Engineer.
The landed cost of the project (i.e., cost at the commissioning stage) will be estimated
by including, financial overheads, escalation costs and interest during construction
(IDC).
Inflation Rate

Page 5
QAP-15
ECONOMIC AND
FINANCIAL
ANALYSIS
All investment costs and capital expenses will be identified in the year in which they
are deemed to occur. In this regard, an annual inflation rate derived from WPI will be
used to obtain the actual costs in the year of expenditure.
Debt - Equity Ratio
Resources for the project will be raised from a mix of debt and equity sources. The
debt-equity ratio for the analysis will be finalised in light of current practices of lending
institutions about leveraging.
Interest Rate and Loan Repayment Period
The interest rate for calculation of IDC as well as repayment of long-term debt will be
decided in keeping with the current lending rates of prime financial institutions. The
loan repayment period will be finalised in keeping with the tenor of loans being offered
by lending institutions.
Toll Revenue
Toll rates applicable for the project would be the rates for 4-laning of National
Highways as prescribed by M/o RT&H in 1997 and updated to the current levels using
WPI. The annual streams for toll revenue, the main source of project revenue, will be
prepared using the projected tollable traffic with its mix and the indexed toll rates by
vehicle type over the concession period of 30 years. Additional revenue viz.
advertisement revenue, earned through advertisement on toll plazas, reverse side of toll
tickets and other suitable locations will be considered as a proportion of toll revenue,
based on similar studies.
Tax Rate
The tax calculation for the project will be done taking account of current corporate tax
rates and tax rebates available for road sector. A tax holiday for a block of 10 years is
available as per the Government’s latest incentives for encouraging investments in the
road sector. This tax incentive is to be availed within the first 20 assessment years. The
currently prevailing corporate tax rate will be used.
Financial Viability Indicators

Page 6
QAP-15
ECONOMIC AND
FINANCIAL
ANALYSIS
The Consultants will work out FIRR on Total Investment and FIRR on Equity
Investment for the project road. For calculation of FIRR on total investment, streams of
costs and net operating income of the project will be used. FIRR on equity investment
will be worked out using equity investment cost and net cash flow streams of the
project.
The results of viability analysis, in terms of pre-tax FIRR on total investment and FIRR
on equity investment, will be compared with the minimum rates acceptable to BOT
investors as per prevailing market conditions. In case of non-viability of the project on
commercial format, the Consultants will assess the quantum of Government subsidy
needed to make the project financially viable on a public-private partnership basis.
Risk Assessment and Mitigation
The Consultants will address the significant risks and group them into specified risk
categories through a detailed check list, indicating nature / cause of such risks,
assessing their potential impact and probability of risk occurrence, appropriate
demarcation and their allocation to the different stake holders in the project. The
Consultants will outline necessary measures for mitigating various risks, keeping in
view the UNIDO Guidelines and World Bank publication.
Recommendations for BOT
The Consultants will examine the different options being followed for private sector
participation for road projects viz. Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) / Build-Own-
Operate-Transfer (BOOT)/ Annuity/ Public-Private-Participation (PPP) and suggest the
most suitable arrangement for the project. In doing so, the Consultants will address
innovative financing arrangements and fiscal concessions which reduce some of the
risks and uncertainties and also provide an acceptable return to the private investor.
UNIDO Guidelines (1996) and World Bank Guidelines (1997) for concession
arrangement for infrastructure services will be kept in view to suggest the most
attractive model for private sector participation.

DESIGN, DRAWINGS AND DOCUMENTATION
1. GENERAL
TES has laid down documented procedures for control of design, drawing and
documentation activities consistent with the requirements of ISO 9001:2008. The
objective is to ensure that the related activities are planned and controlled, the output in
the form of designs, drawings and documents are verified, and the final products satisfy
the specified project requirements.
The quality assurance system involves several step-by-step procedures, and these are
brought out in the following paragraphs.
2. DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT PLANNING
For guiding activities on a project, a design and development plan are prepared. This
defines the responsibility for implementation of the various activities, the time and
duration for performing the activities, the codes/standards to be followed, the
review/verification system, the input resources required, the output to satisfy project
requirements, etc. The work teams from the various disciplines assigned to the project
prepare their own work plans for their activities consistent with the design and
development plan.
3. ORGANIZATIONAL AND TECHNICAL INTERFACES
3.1. Organization
As TES is a multi-disciplinary consultant, for operational purposes it is divided into a

number of disciplines, each headed by a Discipline Head (DH). For executing a
project, key personnel (Lead Discipline Specialists, i.e., LDS and Specialists i.e., SP)
are drawn from the various disciplines as appropriate. For the present project, the key

6. DESIGN EXECUTION PERTAINING TO BRIDGES/STRUCTURES
6.1. Design Activities
Before commencing of the design activities, the following basic data will be collected
and reviewed by the Bridge Engineer (LDS).
 Survey data
 Hydrological data
 Sub-soil investigation

Page 6
QAP-17
DESIGN, DRAWINGS
AND
DOCUMENTATION
Cross drainage works in the form of culverts comprising pipe, slab box culverts &
bridges exist at the crossing points of streams/drains with the road. The design storm of
25-year and 50-year return would be considered for hydrological analysis of culverts
and bridges respectively.
The Rational Method as described in IRC-SP-13 is proposed to be use in determination

of discharges at culvert locations. Location of the additional culverts would be decided
on the basis of the profiles of the existing ground. Location and size of structures are to
be decided by the Sr. Bridge Engineer.
The adequacy of most of the slab culverts would be checked assuming flow through
culvert as open channel flow.
As old bridge frames a guideline for the new proposed bridge, so the consultant would
try to get the data from the Department as well as from other relevant parties to
summarize the features and condition of existing bridge. The collected hydrological
data at site investigations will be analysed to arrive at design discharge, design HFL
and waterway requirement.
The Bridge Engineer shall prepare General Arrangement Drawing (GAD) and the
Alignment Plan showing the salient features of the bridges and the structures proposed
to be constructed /reconstructed along the Road sections covered under the study. These
salient features such as alignment, overall length, type of bridge, components
(superstructure, substructure, foundations, bearings, expansion joint, return walls etc.)
shall be finalized based upon hydraulic and geo-technical studies cost effectiveness and
ease of construction. The GAD shall be supplemented by Preliminary designs. In
respect of span arrangement and type of bridge a few alternatives with cost –benefit
implications would be submitted to enable MoRTH to approve the best alternative.
Existing railway level crossings requiring replacement by ROB, and existing 2-lane
ROB requiring widening to 4-lanes will be identified. Preliminary GAD shall be
prepared for necessary construction, reconstruction or widening. The consultant shall
pursue with the Indian Railways Authorities or/and any other statutory authority of
state/central Government for approval of the GAD from concerned authorities.

6.2. Design Criteria
Design criteria will be framed by the LDS for proposed new structures, and for
repairing/widening existing structures. The inventory and condition survey will impart
basic data for carrying out the above.
Latest applicable IRC codes and standards will be followed.

Before the design work is taken up, the PIC shall discuss with LDS(s) and finalise the
design parameters to be adopted for the work. The design parameters shall be approved
by PIC before commencement of design activities. The software to be used for design
shall also be finalized at this stage to ensure data compatibility.
6.3. Detailed Design
Subsequent to the approval of the GAD and alignment plan by MoRTH and Railways the
Bridge engineer (LDS) shall prepare detailed designs as per IRC and Railways
guidelines and working drawings for all components of Bridges and structures. The
consultant shall furnish the design and working drawings including protection works
and or river training works wherever required.
Suitable repair/ rehabilitation measures would be suggested by Bridge Engineer in

respect of the existing structures based on guidelines given in IRC: SP-35/IRC: SP:40,
along with their specifications, drawings and cost estimate in the form of report.
Subsequent to the approval of the GAD and the alignment plan by M o R T H, detailed
design shall also be carried out for all related structures.
At suitable intervals decided by the PIC, LDS/Supporting Engineers shall arrange for
Design Review Meeting. This meeting shall be attended by all the LDS(s) and the
inter-discipline interface shall be sorted out. The decisions, along with the
responsibilities shall be noted in minutes of meeting shown in enclosure. The PIC shall
monitor the actions in subsequent Review Meetings.
