5.10. The Chief (T&C) observed that variation in cost of earthwork is more than 50%, which is the major component of overallincrease in cost of the project.

Moreover, the GM (Design) added that the
bidder in this case is a foreign contractor and instead of NHA CSR,has worked out project cost in the light of international perspective.
5.11. The Chairman observed that when scope of work in 1st
and 2nd advertisement was same, cost enhancement in amended PC-1needs to be clarified. The VP-NESPAK supported the said point of viewand added that it appears that the cost is on higher side because of
foreign funding. The cost would have been much lesser than theassessment by foreign donor, if the project be carried out throughPSDP.

by GoP with its own resources, what would be the cost difference.
NHA agreed that PC-I shall include this comparison. The VP-NESPAK
further desired that the contract should include various binding
requirements at specific locations, similar to the addendum signed in
CRBC case. The Member was assured that the contract which is now
in draft form shall include the same.

6.2. The General Manager (Design) presented the case.
6.3. The VP-NESPAK enquired whether this case of extension
in contract is covered under PPRA Rules. The GM (Design) explained
that the Consultant is working in NHA before promulgation of PPRA
Rules and it is an extension in running contract and not a fresh case. The Joint Secretary (MoC) opined that it is a kind of appointment of a
firm and should be covered under PPRA Rules. The Member (Planning)
informed that PPRA Rules deals with fresh procurements only and not
extensions. He added that Mr Iqbal Haq has a very high professional
expertise having Doctorate in the Structural Engineering, his
contributions through review of various designs prepared by differentconsultancy firms resulted in huge savings. The GM (Design) stressed
that the firm is essentially required in the interest of public works and
it would be difficult to find his replacement keeping in view the dearth
of structural engineers in Pakistan due to brain drain.
