PRESENTAION FOR THE REVISED

COST COMMITTEE

GUDDURA BRIDGE ON NH444 IN

THE STATE OF J&K
 BACKGROUND
Original sanction: Rs 14.80 cr dated 28.08.2016

Award of work: Rs 12.64 cr dated 24.03.2018

Agency: M/s United Jhelum Road & Roof Builders

Scheduled Completion: Dec’19

REASONS FOR REVISED COST ESTIMATE
• Land Acquisition: In the original sanction, the bridge
was sanctioned on the new alignment of NH 444
bypassing all towns and villages, however during the
course of time it was decided to upgrade the existing
road NH 444 rather than constructing road along new
alignment which would have a massive land acquisition
cost. Accordingly, the new bridge is now to be connected
with the existing alignment to keep the traffic running
and therefore Land Acquisition of 20 kanal and 15
marlas amounting to Rs 6.17 cr is required.
Layout Plan-Guddura bridge
REASONS FOR REVISED COST ESTIMATE
• Civil Work:
– The retaining walls, wing walls and return walls have
increased.
– Reinforcement in the well cap of the foundation increase as
it was not properly designed earlier
– The rate of an item of seismic bearing was taken as 5500
instead of 55000 in the calculation sheet of revised
estimate inadvertently, it has also been corrected and
accounted for in the current abstract of cost.
– Total increase in civil cost is Rs 4.55 cr.
– Physical progress of the bridge is 30% (up to foundation)
