TERMS OF REFERENCE & SCOPE OF WORK

PROJECT :
FUNDING BY
1.0 Terms of Reference and Scope of Work
1.1 Background 1.1.1 Kochi is a major port city on the west coast of the Indian Peninsula
and also one of the most densely populated city in the state of
Kerala. Kochi being a historical port city and having an elaborate
network of navigable water channels, water transport by means
of traditional boats was a prime mode of movement from one
island to another and to the Ernakulum mainland. However, the
extensive emphasis on improving road infrastructure, depleting
boat and jetty infrastructure and increased affordability of people
to own private automobiles infused a vicious cycle wherein the
road infrastructure increased significantly and water transport
experienced a decline. Strategic investments, some of them being
of national importance, have given a boost to the regional
economy and employment, leading to increased vehicular
movement and congestion of road infrastructure. This calls for the
necessity of development of a sustainable transport system.
Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) has spearheaded the task of

setting up an Integrated Water Transport System for Kochi city
with a vision to connect the mainland with all the islands in the
MTA- Kochi area, reviving the sustainable traditional mode of
public transportation. Kochi Water Metro Project (KWMP) aims to
integrate the water transport system with other modes of transport
including the metro system. It is envisaged to be a user oriented
and socially inclusive transport system than being just a point to
point service. It is also part of a bigger concept of seamless
integration for the city.
1.2 The Project 1.2.1 The proposed project recommends fifteen (15) identified routes
connecting forty four (45) jetties across ten (10) island
communities across 78 km route network and two boatyards. Part
of the identified 78 km and the areas around the jetty locations
shall require dredging in order to maintain a minimum desirable
clearance. The project will be developed in two phases, Phase 1
and Phase 2. The jetty locations to be developed as part of Phase

be permitted to adopt core drilling with Nx size Tungsten
Carbide (TC) bit, When Core Recovery (CR) < 10%, the
material will be treated as soil and this core drilling
operation shall be at no extra cost to the KMRL.
Where core recovery exceeds 10%, TC bits shall be used

for coring in soft / weathered rock and diamond bits for
hard rock (Rock Quality Designation (RQD) > 50% or core
recovery percentage > 75%). Maximum length of coring
in rock shall be 1.5 m. In hard rock maximum length of
coring shall be restricted to 3.0 m. Double/ Triple tube
core barrel shall be used for coring.
The Contractor shall ensure that the equipment used for

drilling, sampling etc. shall have an adequate capacity to
drill bore holes up to specified depth. The Contractor shall
make his own arrangements to deploy all the necessary
equipment to the borehole location. The rates quoted
shall be inclusive of this and any extra claims on this
account shall not be acceptable.
RQD and CR for each sampler are to be immediately

recorded after retrieval of the cores. After recording the
details of cores, the drill and cutting shall be marked and
preserved carefully in core boxes as per the latest IS:4078
and the selected core samples shall be transported to the
laboratory for testing at no additional cost. The cost of
core boxes shall be deemed to have been included in the
quoted rates. The Contractor shall at his own cost
transport the core boxes to the place of storage as
directed by KMRL or GC.

The SPT shall be conducted in 150 mm in diameter

boreholes using a Split spoon sampler. The sampler
should conform to IS: 9640. The weight of the drop
hammer shall be 63.5 Kg and the height of the fall of this
hammer should be 750 mm. The sampler should be
driven through a length of 450 mm and the number of
blows for every 150 mm penetration should be recorded.
The first 150 mm of drive may be considered as seating
drive. The total blows required for the second and third
150 mm penetration shall be termed as the penetration
resistance N. This test shall be discontinued when the
blow count is equal to 100 and the penetration shall be
recorded. Refusal shall be considered to be met with
when the blow count is equal to 100. At the location where
the test is discontinued, the penetration and the
corresponding number of blows shall be reported.
These shall be conducted in boreholes at interval of 1.5 m

and at every change of strata. The first penetration test in
each borehole shall be conducted either at 1.5 m depth or
less from existing ground level and last SPT shall be
conducted at the termination depth of borehole.

1.10 Sampling 1.10.1 Disturbed Samples (DS)
Disturbed samples shall be collected at every 1.5 m up to

15 m depth and at intervals of 2.0 m beyond 15 m depth
and at every change of strata from borehole. They shall
be fully representative of the zone from which they are
taken. Weight of disturbed samples shall not be less than
1 kg and shall be taken according to the Indian Standards.
They shall be placed immediately in airtight containers
with a minimum of air space so as to maintain the natural
moisture content for at least one week.
Identification levels indicating depth, borehole number

and visual soil classification shall be affixed on the
containers.
1.10.2 Undisturbed Soil Samples
Undisturbed samples shall be taken from the boreholes

from representative soils including cores while drilling
through rocks, at 5 m intervals or at every identifiable
change of strata whichever is met earlier:
For adjacent boreholes, depth of sample collections shall

be staggered to cater for full layer. The area ratio of the
sampling tubes shall not exceed 20%. In soft deposits,
piston sampler shall be used to collect UDS.
Before taking an undisturbed sample the bottom of the

boring shall be carefully cleaned of loose materials and
where casing is being used the sample shall be collected
from bottom of this casing.
In case of sandy silt strata, the intervals of sampling shall

be suitably increased. Sampling procedures and
samplers for recovering undisturbed samples shall

PROJECT :
FUNDING BY
normally conform to IS: 2720 unless otherwise specified

and directed by the KMRL or GC.
Care shall be taken to minimise sample disturbance while

collection of samples. Samples shall be collected
preferably by pushing the sampler. Driving by hammer
above ground level (like SPT) is not acceptable.
However, for stiff / hard soil a sliding hammer can be used
for driving the sampler at sampler head.
Undisturbed samples (100 mm dia) shall be collected from

all boreholes or at every change of stratum, as directed by
KMRL or GC.
Where an attempt is made to collect an undisturbed

sample, which is aborted because of slippage, the boring
shall be cleaned out for the full depth to which the
sampling tube has been driven and the recovered soil
saved as a disturbed sample. A fresh attempt shall then
be made from the level of the base of the aborted attempt,
and the Contractor may use a core catcher between the
cutting shoe and sampling tube; alternatively, an
additional sample tube may be coupled. Where full
recovery is not achieved the actual length of sample in the
sampling tube shall be recorded and the reason for only
partial recovery shall be noted. Samples with recovery of
less than 60% shall be regarded as disturbed samples.
The depths from which all samples are taken shall be

recorded. The level at the top of the sample and the length
of the sample obtained shall be given, together with the
depth of casing. As soon as the sample is obtained from
the borehole, the ends of the sample should be cut and
removed to a depth of 2.5 m and molten wax should be
applied to each end.
1.10.3 Rock Samples
Cores from core barrel shall be carefully removed and

placed in core boxes of 1.5 m length divided longitudinally

PROJECT :
FUNDING BY
by light battens to hold 10 rows of cores. Care should be

taken to see that the cores are not turned end to end, but
should lie in correct position. Depths below the surface of
the ground should be indicated at 1.5 m intervals.
1.10.4 Water Samples
Two water samples shall be collected at each marine /

river borehole location; one in high tide and another during
low tide.
Samples of ground water shall be taken from each boring

in which water is found or otherwise as directed by KMRL
or GC. The samples shall be stored in watertight
containers, which shall be washed out with ground water
before filling. The samples shall be not less than 0.5 litres
in volume. In the event that sample contains any
suspended sediment, a larger quantity of samples shall
be obtained and allowed for sediment settling. The clean
water shall then be decanted into the store container. The
depth of borehole, depth of casing and water level at the
time of sampling and the depth from which the sample is
obtained shall be recorded or two labels to be fixed to the
samples, using appropriate non-fade waterproof marker
pen.
Sub-soil water samples shall be collected for carrying out

chemical analysis. Representative samples of ground
water shall be addition of water to aid boring or drilling.
Water samples shall not be collected when bentonite
slurry or mud has been used for drilling operations. If
water has been added for drilling purpose of if ground
water has been diluted by surface rain water, then the
bore hole shall be dewatered and water allowed to rise
from which the sample may be taken.
1.11 Labelling, Packing and 1.11.1 Sample Labelling

Transport

PROJECT :
FUNDING BY
All samples, irrespective of their type, shall be clearly and

permanently labelled with the following information
immediately upon recovery:

or screw top, the other on the jar or steel tube.
1.11.2 Packing and Transporting
The Contractor shall be responsible for the packing and

transport of sample to the laboratory, approved by KMRL
or GC. All collected samples shall be transported at the
end of every borehole to the laboratory. The Contractor
shall ensure that all packing and transport arrangements
are suited to the type of sample(s) in question and that the
least possible disturbance of the samples will occur during
transport. In any event, the Contractor shall be held
responsible for any damage to samples and will have to
recollect the samples in lieu of the damaged ones.
1.12 Laboratory Testing 1.12.1 After collecting disturbed and undisturbed samples from
different boreholes at different depths, a laboratory test
schedule shall be prepared and submitted to KMRL or GC
for approval within seven (7) days after completing the
borehole. Immediately after approval from KMRL/GC, the
contractor shall commence the laboratory test within three
(3) days and the report shall be provided as mentioned in
Clause 1.13.3. The test specimen for the various
laboratory tests shall be prepared in accordance with the

applicable as per IS: 2720. For the hydrometer analysis,
the hydrometer should be calibrated appropriately and all
corrections viz. meniscus, temperature and dispersing
agent corrections applied to the readings. The grain size
distribution curve i.e. percent finer Vs particle diameter
should be plotted. The table showing the percentage of
various grain sizes (gravel to clay), D10, D60, Uniformity
Coefficient Cu and Coefficient of Curvature Cc for each
test should be given.
Atterberg’s Limits
These tests shall be carried out on clay fraction (size < 75

microns) for all disturbed and undisturbed samples. The
test results should include liquid limit, plastic limit and

loading stages shall be employed:
0.1, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 kg/cm2.
The loading stages above are indicative and shall vary

depending on the sample depth and set out in the
laboratory testing schedule produced by the Engineer-in-
charge. From e v/s log p curves, pre-consolidation
pressure shall be determined to establish whether the soil
is normally consolidated or over-consolidated. The point
(e, p) showing initial condition of the soil under test must
be specifically marked on the consolidation curves.
Cycle(s) of loading, unloading and reloading shall be
applied.
The field virgin compression curve shall be established.

Settlement predictions based on the field virgin
compression curve shall only be acceptable. The
procedure adopted in respect of obtaining compression
indices from the field curve and that for computing
settlements for the type of soil under consideration shall
be clearly illustrated in the report.

PROJECT :
FUNDING BY
It is to be noted that deviations from the standard

procedure of performing consolidation tests given in IS:
2720, Part XV are permissible in order to enable
computation of settlements based on the above
procedure.
The following curves shall be included in the report:
a) e v/s log p;
b) e v/s p;
c) Compression v/s log(t) or compression v/s square

root ‘t’;
The choice of relationship in part (c) depends upon the

shape of the plot that enables clear determination of Cv ,
the coefficient of consolidation and mv, coefficient of
compressibility. The time period required for 50% and
90% primary consolidation and co-efficient of permeability
shall be given in the report.
Location of pc (pre-consolidation pressure) shall be clearly

indicated in the e-log p curve. Values of mv and Cv shall
be furnished for different pressure ranges including the
values of eo, Cc & pc in tabular form. Computation of
secondary settlements, if significant, shall also be made

performed on specimens at natural moisture content. The
magnitude of the back pressure applied shall be indicated
in the report.
All the stress-strain diagrams as well as Mohr’s circle

envelopes shall be included in the report. Density and
water content of the sample tested and modulus of
elasticity along with shear strength parameters shall be
reported.
California Bearing Ratio
On borrow materials this test is performed on soil samples

compacted to the maximum dry density as obtained from
the compaction test. If disturbed soil samples from the
proposed pavement alignment are used, then these
should be compacted to 97% of field density A surcharge
in multiples of 2.5kg equivalent to the expected pavement
thickness should be applied on the soil. The mould with
the soil should be soaked in water for 4 days after which
the sample is to be tested. The test should be conducted
as per IS 2720 (Part XVI). The load to the plunger should
be applied so that the rate of penetration remains constant
at 1.25 mm/min. The load-penetration curve should be

PROJECT :
FUNDING BY
plotted and necessary correction applied to the initial

slope of the curve. The bearing ratios for penetrations of
2.5 mm and 5 mm should be calculated and reported. If
the bearing ratio corresponding to 5mm penetration
