(modification of Contract); suspensions of work; delays in providing access; force majure, etc. Generally, such occurrences will justify a delay in completion if they affect activities on the critical path of the program. However, each instance must be carefully evaluated and fully documented before a decision can be made. The following are guidelines for controlling work progress: There should always be a baseline program. If changes to the baseline program are required, an updated baseline program (baseline program no. 2, etc.) should be created. Unauthorized changes to completion milestones should not be allowed, unless authorized by a contract modification. Contractor shall monitor the progress of works and should update their completion percentages and report to CLIENT through Monthly Progress Report. When actual progress falls behind scheduled progress or when it appears that a milestone will not be completed on time, the Contractor must identify the reasons for delay and in conjunction with CLIENT the Contractor make recommendations for remedial actions. 9.0 Design Quality Plan The Contractor shall engage a Design Consultant for the preparation of detailed designs and drawings as per the QMS Process S00/DE/P/01 Design Consultants Registration and Pre qualification process & S00/DE/P/02 Design Consultants Final Selection Process.

All the tests to be conducted at laboratory and at site shall be documented as per the format specified in the later part of the section. Usually the documentation shall be maintained in such a fashion that it shall be very easy traceable with a specific RFI No. mentioned with date in layer chart for Pavement and in turn this shall be filed with bituminous and Non-bituminous in a separate file / volume as a lot with several sub lot. For all routine test for Pavements and other works, Borrow areas result, Bought out items shall be maintained in a separate lot irrespective of section. 10.1.1 Methodology: SURVEY WORKS 1. Topographical Surveying The Surveying actively is undertaken for the determination of control points and to afford sufficient data for the designing of engineering work such as site preparation and pavements. In the beginning of commencing works on any project, the following data shall be collected from Customer (Engineer / employer) or prepared by the Contractor. 1.1.1 Vertical Control Points (VCP) The records of all GPS Points carrying details shall be obtained from Customer (Engineer / employer). The data shall also include the Reduced Levels (RLs) of all TBMs fixed with location sketch and adjustment details from GPS to GPS. 1.1.2. Horizontal Control Points (HCP) The records of all GPS Points (X, Y) position and intermediate traverse points with location sketches shall be received from Customer (Engineer / employer). The data shall also include traverse carrying data and adjustment details from GPS to GPS Point. 1.1.1.3 Proposed Centerline Coordinates The co-ordinates (X, Y) for proposed centerline of the pavement. at a regular interval as specified by Customer (Engineer / employer) shall be obtained.
1.2. Survey works Survey actually in any project involves three stages of surveying necessary to be carried out at project sites. The survey work shall include a) Preliminary Survey works: Before starting the construction activity, Temporary Bench Marks (TBM), shall be established on the ground at specified interval. The control pillars shall be constructed before start of conformation survey for VCPs & HCPs. The pillars shall be constructed in staggered position within the project premises. The visibility between proceeding pillar to succeeding pillar shall be maintained. The control pillars are fixed at regular intervals of 250 or 200 meters. The TBMs shall be used as reference points for executing the works in the particular reach. The TBMs shall contain Reduced Levels of the ground and changing of that location. These shall be Checked periodically once in 3 months to ascertain the sanctity of levels. The levels shall be entered as per Rise & Fall for TBM Verification. The data shall be used for preparing site leveling & earthwork excavation plan, cross-section of the Pavement and working drawings. The centerline is also fixed for reference and execution. 1.3 Survey work while execution Based on the reference of TBM along with reduced levels and centerline, each activity of the work during execution shall be carried out. 1.4 Survey work on completion of job After completion of work, Reduced Levels shall be taken up on the works, so as to ascertain the true levels as mentioned in the drawing are transferred to site. In case of any deviation, such changes shall be recorded and as built up drawing shall be prepared. 1.5 Confirmation of Survey works Immediately after receiving the survey data from the Customer (Engineer / employer), the Contractor shall confirm the survey data of the entire project. The confirmation process shall include the following aspects 1.5.1 Confirmation of Vertical Control Points The confirmation of Vertical Control Points (VCP) shall be undertaken by surveying from GPS to GPS points. The Rise and Fall method shall be adopted for TBM Confirmation Survey. The control pillars established shall be connected by this survey work. The TBM level after the survey work is recorded. 1.5.2 Confirmation of Horizontal Control Points The confirmation of Horizontal Control Points (HCP) shall be undertaken by surveying from a pair of GPS points to another pair of GPS Points. These values shall be checked with the values given by the Customer (Engineer / employer). The traverse points established shall be identified with nail punched on top of Pavement to get the exact point and shall be encircled with paint of golden yellow color. 1.6 Transferring Survey Data to Control Pillars 1.6.1 HCPs to Pillars Once survey data of HCP is confirmed and control pillars are constructed, the coordinates (X, Y) shall be transferred from nails to control pillars by the Total Station. The transferring of levels and coordinates from nails to pillars shall be prepared.
1.6.2 VCPs to Pillars Once levels of TBM are confirmed and control pillars are constructed, the levels (Z Co-ordinates are transferred from permanent benchmark to pillar. The transferring of levels from permanent benchmark to Pillars shall be prepared. 1.7 Detailed Survey work for runways and Taxiways a) Setting out of proposed pavement centerline and construction of Reference Pillars shall be made after completion of confirmation survey works. Once the centerline is established, reference pillars shall be constructed on both sides of Runway. The centerline reference sheet containing data on reference pillars is given Centerline Reference Sheet. b) OGLs are recorded before disturbing the existing ground level. Any construction activity i.e. clearing and grubbing etc. shall start only after taking OGL. In case of dense vegetation, removal of vegetation could start without disturbing ground level. OGLs are recorded in Field Book 1.8 Detailed Survey works for Structure Before setting out of centerline of new structures i.e. culverts and retaining head walls etc. site should be clean of all the logs, stamps and other deleterious matter, which may interrupt grid level. The contractor shall remove all water from waterlogged areas near Structures by suitable dewatering pumps. For controlling vertical and horizontal points for structural works, reference pillars are required to be constructed depending on type of structure. Separate pillars shall be constructed for VCP and HCP in structure location. 1.9 Instrument The work shall be carried out with Auto level instrument and Total Station. The recent calibration report of the instruments shall be submitted and approval shall be sought from the Customer (Engineer / employer) prior to the start of levelling work in the field. The MS Plate shall be used for every change point to support levelling staff, depending on the condition of the ground. CLEARING, GRUBBING AND DISMANTLING STRUCTURES (Acceptance Criteria: Ref. Section 200 of MORT&H) 1. General This work shall consists of cutting, removing and disposing of all materials such as trees, bushes, shrubs, roots, grass, weeds, top organic soil not exceeding 150mm. Dismantling of structures acquired within ROW in brick work, stone masonry, plain/ reinforced concrete, timber structures, removing tiles, GCI sheets, etc., and sorting out dismantled materials, disposal of unserviceable materials and utilizing the serviceable materials at free of cost. 2. Procedure for clearing and grubbing: Original ground levels shall be recorded jointly before commencing C&G activities.
Before starting the Clearing and grubbing activity, information to the Client / Clients Representative given. Top-soil and deleterious material will be dozed and removed up-to 150mm thickness .All the dozed top soil will be removed from toe line and stacked /displayed away from the area of work. All the trees, shrubs and roots will be removed from the stretch with the help of manpower / machineries. Backfilling of the pits will be carried out if required with sand, saturated fully with water. After completing the clearing and grubbing check-list will be complied. 3. Procedure for dismantling structures: Measurements shall be recorded jointly before dismantling of structure. The structure shall be carefully dismantled and the resulting materials so removed shall not cause any damage to the serviceable materials and the structures nearby. The connecting edges shall be cut, chipped and trimmed to the required lines and grades without weakening or damaging any part of the structure. Due care shall be taken to ensure that the reinforcement bars which are to be left in place so as to project into the new work as dowels or ties are not injured during removal of concrete while extending the existing culverts/ bridges. Equipment / Machinery Requirement: 1. Dozer 2. Excavator 3. Tippers In dismantling pavements, MS pipes, guard rails, kerbs, gutter, and fencing, where portions of existing construction are to be left in the finished work, the same shall be removed to an existing joint or cut/chipped true to the lines with face perpendicular to the existing structure.
