1. General

1. Uttar Pradesh is Indias most populous state with population of about 200 million.
While its population is around 16% of the population of India, it has only about 7% of the
countrys geographical area. Uttar Pradesh also has the largest rural population in the
country, with agriculture being the main activity contributing 46% of state income. Although
Uttar Pradesh has a good rail network, the dispersed nature of agricultural production means
that the road network is a critical element of the economic infrastructure. While the
dependence on agriculture is high, the road network is not very well developed: the state has
a network density of about 72 km per 100 sq km, as against the national average of 107. The
state has a road network of about 300,000 km, out of which about 174,000 km are with the
state Public Works Department (UPPWD). Almost 60% of state highways are double lane,
but 62% of MDRs and 83% of other district roads (ODRs) are having total width less than
3.75 m. Therefore, road connectivity and capacity are both an issue.

2. To address this issue of road connectivity and capacity, UPPWD is preparing a
Vision Statement and Strategic Master Plan for road development in the state. The scope of
this ongoing study includes (i) preparation of Vision Statement and Strategic Master Plan; (ii)
identification of CRN; (iii) requirements for augmentation and improvement of state
highways, MDRs and ODRs; (iv) planning connectivity to all habitations by all-weather
roads; and (v) preparation of implementation and financing plan for achieving the above
targets, including assessment of potential participation of private sector. At this time, the
UPPWDs CRN consultants have submitted a draft report on the identification of CRN.

3. This assessment of CRN includes about 7,100 km of state highways and 3,200 km of
MDRs, which form a vital connectivity element within the state. UPPWD is requesting
financing assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to take up specific parts of the
state-wide road improvement mandate. The Uttar Pradesh Major District Roads Investment
Program (the Program) proposed for ADBs assistance seeks to upgrade and rehabilitate
about 1,138 km of MDRs, thereby improving connectivity and fostering inclusive economic
growth. The estimated cost of the Program is about Rs.3,400 Crore ($572 million): 70% of
this being the proposed ADB financing, would be about $400 million.

4. The Program is designed to improve transport connectivity in the state of Uttar
Pradesh, by rehabilitating and upgrading major district roads (MDRs) forming part of the
Core Road Network (CRN) in the state. The Program constituents are (i) rehabilitating and
upgrading about 1,138 km of MDRs; and (ii) improving planning for road asset maintenance.

2. Objective

5. The Program will be implemented in two phases (tranches), with the first phase being
about 650 km. The objective of this assignment is to prepare detailed project reports (DPRs)
for the tranche 1 roads, The DPRs will cover: (i) Traffic surveys and assessments, (ii)
Engineering surveys, studies, designs; (ii) Project costing for construction and operations &
maintenance; (iv) Economic analysis; (v) Environmental assessments; and (vii) Resettlement
and rehabilitation assessments.

6. While the detailed scope of work is given in subsequent sections, the key objective is
to prepare DPRs for the purpose of firming up UPPWDs requirements in respect of
development and construction of the roads in terms of the requirements of ADB, and

enabling prospective bidders to assess project requirements in a clear and predictable manner
with a view to ensuring:
i. Enhanced safety and level of service for the road users;
ii. Superior operation and maintenance enabling enhanced operational efficiency
of the project roads;
iii. Minimal adverse impact on the local population and road users due to road
construction;
iv. Minimal adverse impact on environment; and
v. Minimal additional acquisition of land.

7. The DPR Consultant should note that ADB will carry out a project preparatory
assignment (called PPTA) through a separate set of consultants. ADBs PPTA will
supplement the DPR in specific areas, which are outlined as: (i) Technical review of the
DPR, with emphasis on road safety, sustainability, and climate change mitigation; (ii)
Economic analysis in terms of ADBs guidelines; (iii) Governance; (iv) Institutional; (v)
Poverty, Social, and Gender aspects; and (v) Safeguards. The PPTA Consultant will mobilize
and commence work after a period of about 2 months of the DPR Consultant. The DPR
Consultant will work closely with the PPTA Consultant, providing data and decision support,
under the oversight of UPPWD.

3. Scope of Services General

8. The DPRs are for improving and rehabilitating the selected MDRs to a standard 2-
lane configuration, geometric improvements as required, and bypasses in identified locations.
The main objective of the DPRs is to establish the technical, environmental, social,
economical, and financial viability of the project, suitable for funding by multilateral
agencies. The DPRs will include traffic and condition assessment, detailed road design,
design of pavement, design of bridges and cross drainage structures and grade separated
structures, design of service roads, quantities of various items, detailed working drawings,
detailed cost estimates, economic and financial viability analyses, environmental and social
feasibility, resettlement plans and environmental action plans as appropriate and documents
required for tendering the project on commercial basis for international/ local competitive
bidding. The DPRs will also include aspects of value engineering, quality audit and safety
audit requirement (in accordance with IRC: SP-88-2010 Road Safety Audit Manual) in
design and implementation. The scope of the DPRs will generally cover the following:

(i) Priority Roads for Tranche 1. The works will be completed in two tranche,
which will be approximately equal in cost. In tranche 1, projects needing lesser
development effort, particularly from environmental and social safeguards aspects,
will be selected based on a rapid assessment of corridors.

(ii) Engineering Surveys. For the priority roads, topographic, geotechnical,
hydrologic, sub-grade and pavement assessments will be carried out. Surveys will
also be carried out at proposed new alignment locations (bypasses, geometric
improvements).

(iii) Bridges, Structures, Hydrology. Surveys will be carried out to assess
condition, waterway adequacy, longitudinal and cross drainage works, and structural
foundations.

(iv) Traffic Surveys. Classified traffic volume counts, axle load surveys, speed
and delay studies, pedestrian and cycle movement assessments, intersection studies,
and traffic safety audits will be carried out.

(v) Road/Bridge Design. The alignment will be designed based on the surveys
and requirement of geometric improvements. Longitudinal and cross sections will be
prepared as per standard practice. Road safety will be a cardinal feature of the design
basis, particularly with respect to intersections and signage. Pavement and structural
designs will be prepared, keeping in view climate change adaptation.

(vi) Environmental Assessment & Environment Management Plan. The EIA
(or IEE, as the case may be), will be prepared in accordance with the operational
policies, the Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 of the Asian Development Bank.
The objective is to identify and assess potential environmental impacts, evaluating
alternatives and designing appropriate mitigation, enhancement, management and
monitoring measures to ensure that road improvement options are environmentally
sound and sustainable. The main objectives of the Environmental Management Plan
are to detail cost effective measures for the protection and enhancement of
environmental assets during construction and operation according to an agreed
implementation schedule.

(vii) Social and Gender Assessment, and Resettlement Plan, and Gender
Action Plan. The DPRs will include these reports to improve decision making and to
ensure that the projects under consideration are socially sound, sustainable and
contribute to the development of social development goals, including comprehensive
mitigation measures to ensure that the affected and displaced persons are
appropriately resettled and rehabilitated i.e., to improve their livelihoods and
standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms. All the resettlement
studies will be conducted in line with the ADBs Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS),
2009 and other related policies such as the Public Communication Policy (2011). The
report should explicitly have a section on Social and Gender Analysis. The DPRs will
include the poverty and social assessment study based on the detailed design and
provide any additional inputs that will be required to finalize the report in terms of
gender analysis and preparation of the gender action plan, HIV/ AIDS, human
trafficking, child labor, socio economic analysis and poverty assessment etc.

(viii) Project Costing, Economic & Financial Analysis. Detailed BOQs and costs
based on realistic market rates will be adopted to arrive at component-wise cost
estimates. Economic and Financial Analysis will be conducted for with and without
project scenarios.

3.1 Codes & Standards

9. All activities related to field studies, design and documentation shall be done as per
the latest guidelines/ circulars of MORTH and relevant publications of the Indian Roads
Congress (IRC) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). For aspects not covered by IRC and
BIS, international standard practices, such as, British and American Standards may be
adopted. The Consultants, upon award of the Contract, may finalize this in consultation with
UPPWD and reflect the same in the inception report. Consultant should also look at
international best practices and try to adopt them wherever there is scope for value addition.

10. All notations, abbreviations and symbols used in the reports, documents and drawings
shall be as per IRC: 71-1977.

3.2 Quality Assurance Plan (QAP)

11. The data formats proposed by the Consultants for use in field studies and
investigations shall be submitted within 14 days after the commencement of services and got
approved by UPPWD. The Consultants should prepare a detailed Quality Assurance Plan
(QAP) for all field studies including topographic surveys, traffic surveys, engineering surveys
and investigations, design and documentation activities. The quality assurance plans/
procedures for different field studies, engineering surveys and investigation, design and
documentation activities should be presented as separate sections like engineering surveys
and investigations, traffic surveys, material geotechnical and subsoil investigations, road and
pavement investigations, investigation and design of bridges & structures, environment and
R&R assessment, economic & financial analysis, drawings and documentation, preparation,
checking, approval and filing of calculations, identification and tractability of project
documents etc. Further, additional information as per format shall be furnished regarding the
details of personal that shall be responsible for carrying out/preparing and checking/verifying
various activities forming part of feasibility study and project preparation, since inception to
the completion of work. The detailed Draft QAP Document must be discussed and finalized
with the concerned UPPWD officers immediately upon the award of the Contract and
submitted as part of the inception report. It is imperative that the QAP is approved by
UPPWD before the Consultants start the field work.

3.3 Review of Data and Documents

essentially to ascertain the probable diverted traffic on the project roads after improvement.
In addition, some locations may be selected on the project roads essentially required around
congested towns to delineate through traffic. The roadside interviews shall be on random
sample basis and cover all four-wheeled vehicles. The locations of the O-D survey and
Commodity Movement surveys shall normally be same as for the classified traffic count
stations.

18. The location of origin and destination zones shall be determined in relation to each
individual station and the possibility of traffic diversion from/to other road routes including
bypasses.

19. The trip matrices shall be worked out for each vehicle type. Information on weight for
trucks should be summed up by commodity type and the results tabulated, giving total weight
and average weight per truck for the various commodity types. The sample size for each
vehicle type shall be indicated on the table and also in the graphical representations.

20. The data derived from surveys shall also be analyzed to bring out the lead and load
characteristics and desire line diagrams. The data analysis should also bring out the
requirement for the construction of bypasses. The distribution of lead and load obtained from
the surveys should be compared with those derived from the axle load studies. The
commodity movement data should be duly taken into consideration while making the traffic
demand estimates.

4.1.4 Turning Movement Surveys

21. Turning movement surveys for estimation of peak hour traffic for the design of major
and minor intersections shall be carried out. The details regarding composition and
directional movement of traffic shall be furnished by the Consultant. The methodology for
the surveys shall be as per IRC: SP: 41-1994. The details including location and duration of
surveys shall be finalized in consultation with UPPWD officials.

22. The data derived from the survey should be analyzed to identify requirements of
suitable remedial measures, such as construction of underpasses, flyovers, interchanges, and
grade-separated intersections along the project road alignment. Intersections with high traffic
volume requiring special treatments, either presently or in future, shall be identified.

23. Pedestrian/ Animal Crossing Surveys may be conducted to determine if provision of
viaduct for pedestrians/animals is necessary to improve the traffic safety.


4.1.5 Axle Load Surveys

24. The axle load surveys shall normally be done using axle load pads or other
sophisticated instruments. Axle load surveys in both directions shall be carried out at suitable
location(s) in the project road stretch on a random sample basis normally for trucks only
(both empty and loaded trucks) for 2 normal days - (24 hours) at special count stations to be
finalized in consultation with UPPWD. However, a few buses may be weighed in order to get
an idea about their loading behavior. While selecting the location(s) of axle load survey
station(s), the locations of existing bridges with load restrictions, if any, should be taken into
account and such sites should be avoided.

25. The axle load data should be collected axle configuration-wise. The number of
equivalent standard axles per truck shall be calculated on the basis of results obtained. The
results of the survey should bring out the VDF for each truck type (axle configuration). If the
calculated VDF is found to be below the national average, then national average shall be
used. Furthermore, the data from axle load surveys should be analyzed to bring out the Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW) and Single Axle Load (SAL) Distributions by truck type (axle
configuration).

26. The Consultant shall ascertain from local enquiries about the exceptional live loads
that have used the roads in the past in order to assess the suitability of existing bridges to
carry such loads.

27. The data derived from the O-D, speed-delay, other surveys and also supplementary
surveys should be analyzed to assess requirements for present and future development of
truck terminals at suitable locations en-route.

4.1.6 Speed-Delay Surveys

28. The Consultants shall carry out appropriate field studies such as moving car survey to
determine running speed and journey speed. The data should be analyzed to identify sections
with typical traffic flow problems and congestion. The objective of the survey would be to
recommend suitable measures for segregation of local traffic, smooth flow of through traffic
and traffic safety. These measures would include the provision of bypasses, under-passes,
flyovers, interchanges, grade-separated intersections and service roads.

4.1.7 Traffic Demand Estimates

29. The Consultants shall prepare traffic demand estimates and establish possible traffic
growth rates in respect of all categories of vehicles, taking into account the past trends,
annual population and real per capita growth rate, elasticity of transport demand in relation to
income and estimated annual production increase. The other aspects including socio-
economic development plans and the land use patterns of the region having impact on the
traffic growth, the projections of vehicle manufacturing industry in the country, development
plans for the other modes of transport, O-D and commodity movement behavior should also
be taken into account while working out the traffic demand estimates. The values of elasticity
of transport demand shall be based on the prevailing practices in the country. The Consultants
shall give complete background including references for selecting the value of transport
demand elasticity.


30. It is envisaged that the 2-laning of the project road sections covered under this TOR
would be completed and opened to traffic after 3 years. The traffic demand estimates shall be
done for a further period of 15 years from completion. The demand estimates shall be done
assuming three scenarios, namely, optimistic, pessimistic and most likely traffic growth. The
growth factors shall be worked out for five-yearly intervals.

31. Traffic projections should be based on sound and proven forecasting techniques. In
case traffic demand estimated is to be made on the basis of a model, the application of the
model in the similar situation with the validation of the results should be established. The
traffic projections should also bring out the possible impact of implementation of any
competing facility in the near future. The demand estimates should also take into account the
freight and passenger traffic along the major corridors that may interconnect with the project.

32. The methodology for traffic demand estimates described in the preceding paragraphs
is for normal and diverted traffic only. In addition to the estimates for normal and diverted
traffic, the Consultants shall also work out the estimates for generated and induced traffic.

4.1.8 Accident Spots

33. The data on accident statistics should be compiled and reported showing accident type
and frequency so that black spots are identified along the project road section. The possible
causes (such as poor geometric features, pavement condition etc.) of accidents should be
investigated into and suitable cost effective remedial measures suggested for implementation.

4.2 Topographic Surveys

4.2.1 Reconnaissance & Alignment

34. The Consultants should make a study of the available land width (ROW) topographic
maps, satellite imageries and air photographs of the project area and other available relevant
information collected by them concerning the existing alignment. Consultant himself has to
arrange the required maps and the information needed by him from the potential sources.
Consultant should make efforts for minimizing land acquisition.

35. The detailed ground reconnaissance may be taken up immediately after the study of
maps and other data. The primary tasks to be accomplished during the reconnaissance
surveys include:
i. Topographical features of the area;
ii. Typical physical features along the existing alignment within and outside
ROW i.e. land use pattern;
iii Possible alignment alternatives, vis--vis, scheme for the construction of
additional lanes parallel to the existing road;
iv Realignment requirements including the provision of bypasses, ROBs /
Flyovers and via-duct for pedestrian crossings with possible alignment
alternatives;
v. Preliminary identification of improvement requirements including treatments
and measures needed for the cross-roads;
vi. Traffic pattern and preliminary identification of traffic homogenous links;
vii. Sections through congested areas;

viii Inventory of major aspects including land width, terrain, pavement type,
carriageway type, bridges and structures (type, size and location),intersections
(type, cross-road category, location) urban areas (location, extent),
geologically sensitive areas, environmental features:
ix Critical areas requiring detailed investigations; and,
x. Requirements for carrying out supplementary investigations.
xi. Soil (textural classifications) and drainage conditions
xii Type and extent of existing utility services along the alignment (within ROW).

36. The data derived from the reconnaissance surveys are normally utilized for planning
and programming the detailed surveys and investigations. All field studies including the
traffic surveys should be taken up on the basis of information derived from the
reconnaissance surveys. The data and information obtained from the reconnaissance surveys
should be documented. The data analysis and the recommendations concerning alignment and
the field studies should be included in the Inception Report. The data obtained from the
reconnaissance surveys should form the core of the database which would be supplemented
and augmented using the data obtained from detailed field studies and investigations.

37. The data obtained from the reconnaissance surveys should be compiled in the tabular
as well as graphical (chart) form indicating the major physical features and the proposed
widening scheme for UPPWDs comments. The data and the charts should also accompany
the rationale for the selection of traffic survey stations.

4.2.2 Details of Topographic Survey

38. The basic objective of the topographic survey would be to capture the essential
ground features along the alignment in order to consider improvements and for working out
improvements, rehabilitation and upgrading costs. The detailed topographic surveys should
normally be taken up after the completion of reconnaissance surveys.

39. The carrying out of topographic surveys will be one of the most important and crucial
field tasks under the project. The detailed field surveys shall be carried out using high
precision instruments i.e., Total stations. The data from the topographic surveys shall be
collected w.r.t. G.T.S. and will be made available in (x, y, z) format for use in a digital terrain
model (DTM). The Consultants would be fully responsive for accuracy in surveys.

40. The detailed field surveys would essentially include the following activities:
i. Topographic Surveys along the Existing Right of Way (ROW): Running a
continuous open Traverse along the existing road and realignments, wherever
required, and fixation of all cardinal points such as horizontal intersection
points (HIPs), centre points and transit points etc. and properly referencing the
same with a pair of reference pillars fixed on either side of the centre-line at
safe places within the ROW.
ii. Collection of details for all features such as structures (bridges, culverts etc.)
utilities, existing roads, electric and telephone installations (both O/H as well
as underground), huts, buildings, fencing and trees (with girth greater than 0.3
meter) oil and gas lines etc. falling within the extent of survey.
iii. Surveys for bypasses as mentioned below.


41. The width of survey corridor will generally be as given under:
i. The width of the survey corridor should taken into account the layout of the
existing alignment including the extent of embankment and cut slopes and the
general ground profile. While carrying out the field surveys, the widening
scheme (i.e. right, left or symmetrical to the centre line of the existing
carriageway) should be taken into consideration so that the topographic
surveys cover sufficient width beyond the centre line of the proposed divided
carriageway. Normally the surveys should extend a minimum of 15 m beyond
either side of the centre line or land boundary whichever is more. However,
the widening arrangement should be proposed in such a way that the tree
cutting is minimized.
ii. In case the reconnaissance survey reveals the need for bypassing the congested
locations, the traverse lines would be run along the possible alignments in
order to identify and select the most suitable alignment for the bypass. The
detailed topographic surveys should be carried out along the bypass alignment
approved by UPPWD. At locations where grade separated intersections could
be the obvious choice, the survey area will be suitably increased. Field notes
of the survey should be maintained which would also provide information
about traffic, soil, drainage etc.
iii. The width of the surveyed corridor will be widened appropriately where
developments and/ or encroachments have resulted in a requirement for
adjustment in the alignment, or where it is felt that the existing alignment can
be improved upon through minor adjustments.
iv. Where existing roads cross the alignments, the survey will extend a minimum
of 100 m either side of the road centre line and will be of sufficient width to
allow improvements, including at grade intersection to be designed.

42. The surveyed alignment shall be transferred on to the ground as under:
i. Reference Pillar and Bench Mark / Reference pillar of size 15 cm X 15 cm X
45 cm shall be cast in RCC of grade M 15 with a nail fixed in the centre of the
top surface. The reference pillar shall be embedded in concrete upto a depth of
30 cm with CC M10 (5 cm wide all around). The balance 15 cm above ground
shall be painted yellow. The spacing shall be 250m apart, incase Bench Mark
Pillar coincides with Reference Pillar, only one of the two need be provided.

RL and BM No. marked on it with red paint.

43. The topographic surveys for longitudinal and cross-sections shall cover the following:
i. Longitudinal section levels along final centre line at every 25 m interval, at the
locations of curve points, small streams, intersections, and at the locations of
change in elevation.
ii. Cross sections at every 50 m interval in full extent of survey covering
sufficient number of spot levels on existing carriageway and adjacent ground
for profile correction course and earth work calculations. Cross sections shall
be taken at closer interval at curves.
iii. Longitudinal section for cross roads for length adequate for design and
quantity estimation purposes.
iv. Longitudinal and cross sections for major and minor streams as per
recommendations contained in IRC Special Publication No. 13 (Guidelines for
the Design of Small Bridges and Culverts) and IRC:5-1998 (Standard

Specifications & Code of Practice for Road Bridges, Section 1 General
Features of Design).

44. The Consultants shall collect details of all important physical features along the
alignment. These features affect the project proposals and should normally include buildings
and structures, monuments, burial grounds, cremation grounds, places of worship, railway
lines, stream/ river/ canal, water mains, severs, gas/ oil pipes, crossings, trees, plantations,
utility services such as electric, and telephone lines (O/H & U/G) and poles, optical fiber
cables (OFC) etc. The survey would cover the entire right-of-way of the road on the adequate
allowance for possible shifting of the central lines at some of the intersections locations.

45. The information collected during reconnaissance and field surveys shall be shown on
a strip plan so that the proposed improvements can be appreciated and the extent of land
acquisition with land acquisition schedule, utility removals of each type etc., assessed and
suitable actions can be initiated. Separate strip plan for each of the services involved shall be
prepared for submission/coordination with the concerned agency.

4.3 Road and Pavement Investigations

UPPWD. However, the consultants shall make trial pits to ascertain the pavement
composition. The test pit interval will be at every 500m. For each test pit, the following
information shall be recorded:
Test pit reference (Identification number, location):
Pavement composition (material type and thickness); and
Subgrade type (textural classification) and condition (dry, wet)

4.3.3 Road and Pavement Condition Surveys

49. Detailed field studies shall be carried out to collect road and pavement surface
conditions. The objective of the road and pavement condition surveys shall be to identify
defects and sections with similar characteristics. All defects shall be systematically
referenced, recorded and quantified for the purpose of determining the mode of rehabilitation.
The pavement condition surveys shall be carried out using visual means. Supplemented by
actual measurements and in accordance with the widely accepted methodology (AASHTO,
IRC, OECD and TRL Publications) adapted to meet the study requirements. The
measurement of rut depth would be made using standard straight edges. The shoulder and
embankment conditions shall be evaluated by visual means and the existence of distress
modes (cuts, erosion marks, failure, drops) and extent (none, moderate, frequent and very
frequent) of such distress manifestations would be recorded. For sections with severe
distresses, additional investigations as appropriate shall be carried out to determine the cause
of such distresses. Middle 200m could be considered as representative sample for each one
km. of road and incase all other things are considered similar. The data obtained from the
condition surveys should be analyzed and the road segments of more or less equal
performance may be identified using the criteria given in IRC: 81-1997. The data should
generally cover:

i. Pavement

instrument. The methodology for the surveys shall be as per the widely used standard
practices. The calibration of the instrument shall be done as per the procedure given in the
World Banks Technical Publications and duly got authenticated by established
laboratory/institution acceptable to the client. The surveys shall be carried out along the outer
wheel paths. The surveys shall cover a minimum of two runs along the wheel paths for each
direction. The results of the survey shall be expressed in terms of BI and IRI and shall be
presented in tabular and graphical forms. The processed data shall be analyzed using the
cumulative difference approach to identify road segments homogenous with respect to
surface roughness.

4.3.5 Pavement Structural Strength
51. The Consultants shall carry out structural strength surveys for existing two lane
pavements using Benkelman Beam Deflection technique in accordance with the CGRA
procedure given in IRC: 81-1997 (Guidelines for Strengthening of Flexible Road Pavements
Using Benkelman Beam Deflection Technique). It is suggested that the deflection surveys
may be carried out as per the scheme given below for (i) mainline testing and (ii) control
section testing:
i. The deflection tests for the mainline shall be carried out at every 500 m along
the road sections covered under the study. The control section testing shall
involve carrying out deflection testing for each 100 m long homogenous road
segment along the road sections. The selection of homogenous segment shall
be based on the data derived from pavement condition surveys. The total
length of such homogenous segments shall not be less than 100 m per
kilometer. The deflection measurements for the control section testing should
be at an interval of not more than 10 m.
ii. Test pits shall be dug at every 500 m (see Sec 3.6.2) and also along each
homogeneous road segment to obtain pavement composition details (pavement
course, material type and thickness) so as to be able to study if a correlation
exists between deflection and composition. If so, the relationship may be used
while working out the overlay thickness for the existing pavement.
iii. Benkelman Beam Deflection surveys may not be carried out for severely
distressed sections of the road warranting reconstruction. The Consultants,
immediately upon the award of the contract, shall submit to UPPWD the
scheme describing the testing schedule including the interval. The testing
scheme shall be supported by data from detailed reconnaissance surveys.
iv. In case, the Consultants wish to use any acceptable method(s) other than
Benkelman Beam deflection technique for the evaluation of pavement
strength, details of such methods or innovative features for deflection testing
using Benkelman Beam technique along with the methodology for data
analysis, interpretation and the use of such data for pavement overlay design

purposes using IRC or any other widely used practices, such as AASHTO
guidelines, should be got approved by UPPWD. The sources of such methods
should be properly referenced.

4.3.6 Subgrade Characteristics and Strength
52. Based on the data derived from condition (surface condition, roughness) and
structural strength surveys, the project road section should be divided into segments
homogenous with respect to pavement condition and strength. The delineation of segments
homogenous with respect to roughness and strength should be done using the cumulative
difference approach (AASHTO, 1993). The data on soil classification and mechanical
characteristics for soils along the existing alignments may already be available with the
UPPWD. The laboratory for testing of material should be got approved from UPPWD before
start of work. The testing scheme is, therefore, proposed as given under:

i. For the widening of existing road within the ROW, the Consultants shall test
at least three sub-grade soil samples for each homogenous road segment or
three samples for each soil type encountered, whichever is more.
ii. For the roads along new alignments, the test pits for subgrade soil shall be @5
km or for each soil type, whichever is more. A minimum of three samples
should be tested corresponding to each homogenous segment.
iii. The testing for subgrade soil shall include:
In-situ density and moisture content at each test pit
Characterization (grain size and Atterberg limits) at each test pit and,
Laboratory moisture-density characteristics (modified Proctor
compaction);
Laboratory CBR (unsoaked and 4-day soak compacted at three energy
levels) and swell.
iv. For problematic soils, the testing shall be more rigorous. The characteristics
with regard to permeability and consolidation shall also be determined for
these soils. The frequency of sampling and testing of these soils shall be
finalized in consultation with the UPPWD officers after the problematic soil
types are identified along the road sections.

4.4 Bridges and Structures

53. The Consultants shall make an inventory of all the structures (bridges, viaducts,
ROBs, culverts, etc.) along the road under the project. The inventory for the bridges, viaducts
and ROBs shall include the parameters required as per the guidelines of IRC-SP: 35-1990.
The inventory of culverts shall be presented in a tabular form covering relevant physical and
hydraulic parameters.

4.4.1 Hydraulic and Hydrological Investigations

54. Hydrological and hydraulic studies shall be carried out in accordance with IRC
Special Publication No. 13 (Guidelines for the Design of Small Bridges and Culverts) and
IRC: 5-1998 (Standard Specifications & Code of Practice for Road Bridges, Section I
General Feature of Design). These investigations shall be carried out for all existing
drainage structures along the road sections under the study.

55. The Consultants shall make a desk study of available data on topography (topographic
maps, stereoscopic aerial photography), storm duration, rainfall statistics, top soil
characteristics, vegetation cover etc. so as to assess the catchment areas and hydraulic

parameters for all existing and proposed drainage provisions. The findings of the desk study
would be further supplemented and augmented by a reconnaissance along the area. All
important hydrological features shall be noted during this field reconnaissance.

56. The Consultants shall collect information on high flood level (HFL), low water levels
(LWL), discharge velocity etc. from available past records, local inquiries and visible signs,
if any, on the structural components and embankments. Local inquiries shall also be made
with regard to the road sections getting overtopped during heavy rains.

4.4.2 Condition Surveys for Bridges, Culverts and Structures

57. The Consultants shall thoroughly inspect the existing structures and shall prepare a
report about their condition including all the parameters given in the Inspection pro-forma of
IRC-SP: 35-1990. The condition and structural assessment survey of the bridges/ culverts/
structures shall be carried out by senior experts of the Consultants. For the bridges identified
to be in a distressed condition based upon the visual condition survey, supplementary testing
shall be carried out as per IRC-SP: 35 and IRC-SP: 40. Selection of tests may be made based
on the specific requirement of the structure.

58. The evaluation of the load carrying capacity of the bridge shall be carried out as per
IRC-SP:37 (Guidelines for Evaluation of Load Carrying Capacity of Bridges). The
analytical and correlation method shall be used for the evaluation of the load carrying
capacity as far as possible. When it is not possible to determine the load carrying capacity of
the bridge using analytical and correlation method, the same shall be carried out using load
testing. The consultant has to exhaust all other methods of evaluation of strength of bridges
before recommending taking up load testing of bridges. Road closure for testing if
unavoidable shall be arranged by UPPWD for a limited duration, say 12 hours or so. The
assessment of the load carrying capacity or rating of existing bridges shall be carried out
under one or more of the following scenarios:

i. When the design live load is less than that of the statutory commercial vehicle
plying or likely to ply on bridge;
ii. If during the condition assessment survey and supplementary testing the
bridge is found to indicate distress of serious nature leading to doubt about
structural and / or functional adequacy, and
iii Design live load is not known nor are the records and drawings available.

59. Consultant shall carryout necessary surveys and investigations to establish the
remaining service life of each retainable bridge or structure with and without the proposed
strengthening and rehabilitation according to acceptable international practice in this regard.

4.6 Geotechnical and Subsoil Investigations

60. Sub-soil investigations will be done as per IRC:78/MORTH Specification. The
Consultants shall carry out geo-technical investigations and sub-surface explorations for the
proposed Bridges/Road over bridges/tunnels/viaducts/interchanges etc., along high
embankments and any other location as necessary for proper design of the works and conduct
all relevant laboratory and field tests on soil and rock samples. The scheme for the borings
locations and the depth of boring shall be prepared by the Consultants and submitted to
UPPWD for approval. These may be finalized in consultation with UPPWD. The minimum

scope of geo-technical investigations for bridge and structures shall be as under, and
deviations, if any, should be approved by UPPWD:

Description Location of Boring
1 Overall length = 6 30 m One abutment location
2. Overall length = 30 60 m One abutment location and at least one
intermediate location between abutments for
structures having more than one span
3. Overall length >60 m Each abutment and each pier locations

61. However, where a study of geo-technical reports and information available from
adjacent crossings over the same waterway (existing road and railway bridges) indicates that
subsurface variability is such that boring at the suggested spacing will be insufficient to
adequately define the conditions for design purposes, the Consultants shall review and
finalize the bore hole locations in consultation with the UPPWD officers.

62. The sub-soil exploration and testing should be carried out through the Geotechnical
Consultants who have done Geo-technical investigation work in similar project. In case of
outsourcing Geo-technical Investigation, the firm selected by the Consultant for this purpose
should also be got approved from UPPWD before start of such works. The soil testing reports
shall be in the format prescribed in relevant IRC Codes.

63. For the road pavement, bore holes at each major change in pavement condition or in
deflection readings or at 2 km intervals whichever is less shall be carried out to a depth of at
least 2 m below embankment base or to rock level and are to be fully logged. Appropriate
tests to be carried out on samples collected from these bore holes to determine the suitability
of various materials for use in widening of embankments or in parts of new pavement
structure.

4.7 Material Testing

64. The Consultants shall identify sources (including use of fly-ash/ slag), quarry sites
and borrow areas, undertake field and laboratory testing of the materials to determine their
suitability for various components of the work and establish quality and quantity of various
construction materials and recommend their use on the basis of techno-economic principles.
The Consultants shall prepare mass haul diagram for haulage purposes giving quarry charts
indicating the location of selected borrow areas, quarries and the respective estimated
quantities. The Material Investigation aspect shall include preparation and testing of
bituminous mixes for various layers and concrete mixes of different design mix grades using
suitable materials (binders, aggregates, sand filler etc.) as identified during Material
Investigation to conform to latest MORTH specification.

65. It is to be ensured that no material shall be used from the right-of-way except by way
of leveling the ground as required from the construction point of view or for landscaping and
planting of trees etc. or from the cutting of existing ground for obtaining the required
formation levels. Environmental restrictions, if any, and feasibility of availability of these
sites to prospective civil works contractors, should be duly taken into account while selecting
new quarry locations. The Consultants shall make suitable recommendations regarding
making good the borrow and quarry areas after the exploitation of materials for construction
of works.

5. Scope of Services Design

5.2 Geometric Design

67. Based on the data collected from reconnaissance and topographic surveys, the
sections with geometric deficiencies, if any, should be identified and suitable measures for
improvement should be suggested for implementation. Accident statistics should be assessed
to indicate potential geometric and signage improvements. The detailed design for geometric
elements shall cover, but not be limited to the following major aspects:
i. Horizontal alignment;
ii. Longitudinal profile;
iii Cross-sectional elements.
iv. Junctions, intersections and interchanges;
v. Bypasses; and,
vi. Service roads as and when require i.e. built up area.

68. The consultants shall make detailed analysis of traffic flow and level of service for the

analysis should clearly establish the widening requirements with respect to the different
horizon periods taking into account special problems such as road segments with isolated
steep gradients. The alignment design shall be verified for available sight distances as per the
standard norms. The provision of appropriate markings and signs shall be made wherever the
existing site conditions do not permit the adherence to the sight distance requirements as per
the standard norms.

69. Requirements for the construction of bypasses should be identified on the basis of
data derived from reconnaissance and traffic studies. The available alignment options should
be worked out on the basis of available maps. The most appropriate alignment option for
bypasses should be identified on the basis of site conditions, techno-economic, and
environmental-social considerations.

70. If required The Consultants shall prepare design and other details in respect of the
parallel service roads in urbanized locations and other locations to cater to the local traffic,
their effect of the viability of the project on commercial basis if service roads are constructed
as part of the project and the implications of not providing the service roads. The consultant
shall prepare complete road and pavement design including drainage for new bypass option
identified around congested towns.

5.3 Pavement Design

71. Flexible pavements are envisaged for the project roads. For the design of pavement,
each set of design input shall be decided on the basis of rigorous testing and evaluation of its
suitability and relevance in respect of in-service performance of the pavement. The design
methodology shall accompany the design proposals and shall clearly bring out the basic
assumptions, values of the various design inputs, rationale behind the selection of the design
inputs and the criteria for checking and control during the implementation of works. In other
words, the design of pavement structure should take due account of the type, characteristics
of materials used in the respective courses, variability of their properties and also the
reliability of traffic predictions. Furthermore, the methodology adopted for the design of
pavement shall be complete with flow charts indicating the various steps in the design
process, their interaction with one another and the input parameter required at each step.

72. For the design of overlays for the existing pavement, the strengthening requirement
shall duly take into account the strength of the existing pavement vis--vis the remaining life.
The overlay thickness requirements shall be worked out for each road segment homogenous
with respect to condition, strength and sub-grade characteristics. For existing pavement with
acceptable levels of cracking, provision of a crack inhibiting layer should also be included.
Appropriate techniques of pavement strengthening should be duly considered by the
consultant for achieving economy.

73. The paved shoulders, wherever applicable, shall be designed as integral part of the
pavement for the main carriageway. The design requirements for the carriageway pavement
shall, therefore, be applicable for the design of shoulder pavements. The design of granular
shoulder should take into account the drainage considerations besides the structural
requirements.

74. The detailed design of pavement shall involve:

i. Strengthening of existing road pavement and design of the new pavement if
any, if the findings of the traffic studies and life-cycle costing analysis confirm
the requirement for widening of the road beyond the existing carriageway
ii. Pavement design for bypasses; and,
iii. Design of shoulders.
iv. The pavement design task shall also cover working out the maintenance and
strengthening requirements and periodicity and timing of such treatments.

5.4 Design of Embankments

75. The Consultants shall carry out detailed analysis and design for all embankments of
height greater that 6 m based on relevant IRC publications. The embankments design should
provide for maximum utilization of locally available materials consistent with economy. Use
of fly-ash, wherever available, within economical leads must be considered. In accordance
with Government instructions, use of fly-ash within 100 km from Thermal Power Stations is
mandatory. The design of embankments should include the requirements for protection works
and traffic safety features.

5.5 Design of Bridges and Structures

76. The Consultant shall prepare General Arrangement Drawing (GAD) and Alignment
Plan showing the salient features of the bridges and structures proposed to be constructed/
reconstructed along the road. These salient features such as alignment, overall length, span
arrangement, cross section, deck level, founding level, type of bridge components
(superstructure, substructure, foundations, bearings, expansion joint, return walls etc.) shall
be finalized based upon hydraulic and geotechnical 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 should be
submitted to enable UPPWD to approve the best alternative.

77. The location of all railway level crossings shall be identified and assessed for
providing ROB/ RUB as needed. The Consultants shall prepare preliminary GAD as required.
The Consultant shall pursue the Indian Railways Authorities or/and any statutory authority of
State/Central Government for approval of the GAD from concerned Authorities. Subsequent
to the approval of the GAD and Alignment Plan by UPPWD and Railways, the Consultant
shall prepare detailed design as per IRC and Railways guidelines and working drawings for
all components of the bridges and structures.

78. Dismantling/ reconstruction of existing structures shall be avoided as far as possible
except where considered essential in view of their poor structural conditions/ inadequacy of
the provisions etc. Suitable repair/ rehabilitation measures shall be suggested in respect of the
existing structures as per IRC-SP:40 along with their specifications, drawings and cost
estimate in the form of a report. The rehabilitation or reconstruction of the structures shall be
suggested based on broad guidelines for rehabilitation and strengthening of existing bridges
contained in IRC-SP:35 and IRC-SP:40. The existing structures having inadequate
carriageway width shall be widened/ reconstructed in part or fully as per the latest MORTH
guidelines. The Consultant shall furnish the detailed design and working drawings for
carrying out the above improvements.


79. The Consultants shall also carry out the design and make suitable recommendations
for protection works for bridges and drainage structures. In case land available is not
adequate for embankment slope, suitable design for RCC retaining wall shall be furnished.
However, RES wall may also be considered depending upon techno-economic suitability to
be approved by UPPWD.

5.6 Drainage System

80. The requirement of roadside drainage system and the integration of the same with
proposed cross-drainage system shall be worked out for the entire length of the project road
section. In addition to the roadside drainage system, the Consultants shall design the special
drainage provisions for sections with super-elevated carriageways, high embankments and for
road segments passing through cuts. The drainage provisions shall also be worked out for
road segments passing through urban areas. The designed drainage system should show
locations of turnouts/outfall points with details of outfall structures fitting into natural
contours. A separate drawing sheet covering every 5 km. stretch of road shall be prepared.

5.7 Traffic Safety, Road Furniture and Road Markings

81. The Consultants shall design suitable traffic safety features and road furniture
including traffic signals, signs, markings, overhead sign boards, crash barriers, delineators
etc. The locations of these features shall be given in the reports and also shown in the

improvement options under consideration are socially sound, sustainable and contribute to the
development of social development goals. The proposals should gather full baseline
information and include mitigation measures to ensure that the affected and displaced persons
are appropriately resettled and rehabilitated.

91. The draft R&R framework shall be based on the following principles:
Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized,
exploring all viable alternative project designs;
Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be
conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing
sufficient investment resources to enable the persons affected/displaced by the
project to share in project benefits;
Affected/displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have
opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs;
Affected/Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their
livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them in real terms, to pre-
displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project
implementation, whichever is higher. This will be inclusive of full replacement
cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project, assistance during
relocation, residential, commercial sites agriculture sites, transitional and
subsistence allowance;

92. The scope of work will be to:
i. Carry out a preliminary social screening in coordination with other screening
exercise (environment and technical) desk review and field visit to
determine the magnitude of actual and potential impact and ensure that social

considerations are given adequate weight in the selection and design of
proposed road improvements;
ii. Collect information desk review and field visit on existing baseline
conditions (include all within the proposed width or Right of Way), and
undertake a preliminary evaluation to define the zone of impact of such
component or activities, design and management studies;
iii. Explore viable alternative project designs and alignments to avoid, where
feasible, or minimize displacement and carry out public consultations on
alternate bypass alignments;
iv. Identify major and minor social impact issues and estimate the economic and
social negative impacts on people and land of upgrading the road and propose
cost-effective measures to avoid and/or mitigate negative impacts;
v. Identify case of likely impact on Indigenous communities, to establish the
applicability of GOI/ State Government/ ADBs regulation;
vi. Carry out preliminary public consultation with the likely affected groups,
NGOs, district administration and other stakeholders and document the
outcomes;
vii. Provide a preliminary cost estimate for land acquisition, transfer and
resettlement and rehabilitation and ensure inclusion in the overall project cost;
