Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 BACKGROUND

The Odisha Works Department (OWD) has a medium to long-term comprehensive programme to rehabilitate, upgrade and expand the road network throughout the state to improve accessibility, con-nectivity and enhance the overall development. It is the pre-eminent state level road authority in Od-isha which deals with issues relating to Feasibility Study and preparation of Detailed Project Report including the Route Selection, even for relatively low volume roads.

The Government of Odisha has secured a loan from International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (The World Bank) towards the cost of Widening and Strengthening of existing Jagat-pur- Duhuria Road Project (106 km).

Jagatpur-Chandbali Road Project is part of 825 km of roads under Phase-I which aims at promoting trade and regional integration between districts by improving transport communication. The project road Jagatpur-Chandbali is a part of the Phase-I road development, which was built several years ago with two lane configuration and currently serves moderate level of traffic. The project involves widening of the existing road which has an average carriageway width of 5.5 m to 6.8 m and 1.5m. Earthen shoulder on both sides, to a 7.0 m carriageway and 2.5m shoulders on both sides in flat and rolling sections. The expected outcome of the project include reduced transportation time of goods and better connectivity between districts along with improved safety standards; reduced transit time for import and export goods via port.

1.2 THE PROJECT

The Jagatpur - Duhuria (MDR) section km 0/00 to km 49/00 which is a part of Jagatpur - Kendrapada – Chandbali - Bhadrak 152 km project corridor. The road section Jagatpur - Duhuria starts from at Chainage 28/00 km of NH-5 and ends at Duhuria. Jagatpur is industrial area in Cuttack district, Kendrapada is a district headquarters of Kendrapara district. There are in total 4 numbers of minor bridges in Jagatpur -Duhuria section. Along the project road there are in total 145 existing culverts be-tween Jagatpur -Duhuria section. About 46% of the road length passes through built up area.

The total length of the project road is 49.000 Km. the road passes completely through plain terrain. Major stretch of the road is located in the District of Cuttack and Kendrapara. This stretch passes through major human settlements at Jagatpur, Salipur and Kendrapara.

Terrain

The road passes predominantly through flat terrain from Jagatpur to Duhuria except few rolling sec-tions. This road has mostly flat gradient with good geometry. Geometric on the road are generally mild; nevertheless requires some improvement of the congested area.

Climate

The Project Road corridor Jagatpur to Duhuria is characterized by warm climate (200C to 450C) tem-perature. Rainfall along the project corridor is relatively high ranging from 801 to 1600 mm. per annum. Bulk of the rainfall occurs during the month of June to October during the monsoon period. The terrain and topography do not allow the water to recede very quickly and major part of the area remains under the spate of flood each year.

Brief Scope of Improvement Works

The road is to be upgraded to 7.0 m carriageway with Asphalt Concrete/Pavement Quality Concrete with 1.5 m width paved shoulders at selected locations on either side. The works include earthwork,

Chapter 5. S-Curve & Bar Chart 5.1 WORK PROGRAMME

Contractor had submitted their work programme to the Engineer on 25.02.2014 under Clause 8.3 of Conditions of Contract, but the work programme had not been developed in the MS Project/ Prima-vera, with this it was also not the resource based programme.

After CSC’s reminders, the revised programme was submitted on 08.04.2014, which also lacked de-tails and was not in conformance with the Clause 8.3 of General Conditions of Contract (Vol.-II). The work programme was vague and sketchy, it was neither resource neither based nor supported with the monthly execution of the quantities, monthly deployment of the equipment, monthly cash flow, monthly requirement of material and S-curve. The Supervision Consultant had issued letters in this regard to the Contractor.

After much persuasion the Contractor has submitted the ‘abstract of work plan’ on 19-08-2014 through e-mail. Revised work programme is submitted on 22-8-2014 vide their letter no. VEL/OSRP/Site/NSN/2014-15/043, as assured in the review meeting held on 14.08.2014 at OWD, Bhubaneswar. The programme still lacks many details e.g. S- curve etc and it has also not been pre-pared in MS Project.

A letter asking to submit the revised work programme was issued to contractor vide letter no. LASA/73466/RE-1/03/03/150 dated 01.11.2014.

The Contractor submitted a revised programme on 04.12.2014 vide letter no. VEL/LASA/P04A/Site/2014-15/80. This programme also lacks many details. Mobilisation plan of re-sources vis-à-vis requirement, the back-up of quantities and S- curve etc are not available and it has also not been prepared in MS Project. The completion is extended up to November 2016 against the scheduled date of completion of March 2016.

5.2 S-CURVE

Revised work programme submitted by Contractor on 22-8-2014 does not contain S-curve. As per this programme, the work starts only in October 2014.

As such, the S-curve is developed by CSC based on programme included in Contract Agreement. The projections as per the programme submitted on 22-08-2014 are superimposed.

The S-Curve has been appended as Appendix-A-8.

Chapter 10. Issues, Reasoning & Corrective Action

10.1 KEY ISSUES & CORRECTIVE ACTIONS PERTAINING TO THE CONTRACTOR:

The contractor has stopped all the activities at site since 12th January 2015 and completely aban-doned the site from 1st February 2015.

Key issues pertaining to Contractor’s general obligations under Sub-clause 4.1 of general conditions of contracts are described below:

The Contractor has yet to establish the camp as per EMP as specified in the Contract. Re-vised layout plan of base camp has been approved by CSC on 22.08.2014. Approvalfor ‘Con-sent to Establish’ of the plants obtained from OSPCB. The Contractor is yet to apply for ‘Con-sent To Operate’

The Contractor has to furnish all survey and setting stake out data as has been done at site and as specified in the Contract.

The Contractor has to identify sources of the materials proposed to be used in the execution of the Civil Work and has to take approval for source from Consultant. The sources of sand, cement, aggregate, steel, Hume Pipes and admixtures approved. The source of morrumiden-tifiedatKamamga village and satisfies the specifications, but, statutory approval is pending.

The Contractor has to ensure safety of all site operations, methods of constructions, Tempo-rary works, and design of each item of plant and materials as is required for the item to be in accordance with the Contract.

The Contractor has to take up the maintenance work of the handed over stretches under sub cl. 4.1 of specific provisions Part-B of Conditions of Contract Vol.-II. Pot hole repair from Km 11+000 to Km 16+000, Km 28+400 to 32+500and 33+100 to 33+700 in Mile stone-I has been done. Pot hole filling in Milestone-II has not been taken up.

Notice was issue to Contractor for maintenance of handed over stretch, else, it will be carried out by other agency vide CSC’s letter no LASA/RE-1/73466/2015/210 dated 17th March 2015.

In Survey and setting out work the Survey pillars are still to be erected in the entire project corridor. Correctness of the survey data as per field condition has to be verified. New pillars have to be erected in case of additional requirement as well as in place of the disturbed pillars as the DPR was done 6 years ago in the year 2007. Disturbed TBM pillar construction and verifying Bench Marks Completed in 1st Milestone.

Safety during construction is of prime concern for Contractor. Proper road diversions, road signage, road markings etc. for guiding road users has to be ensured to reduce injury and elimination of loss of human lives. Moreover safety of construction workers also of the prime importance. Use of gum boots, gloves, safety helmets etc. will have to be ensured while con-struction. Black spots along the corridor to be identified. Engineers will review the safety pro-visions provided in the report and recommend improvement, if any.

Environmental aspects as stipulated in the Contract has to be taken care of by the Contractor while execution of the Project. Contractor has to ensure and maintain each and every aspect of mitigation measures and give especial attention on environmental clearances.



10-2

10.2 KEY ISSUES & CORRECTIVE ACTIONS PERTAINING TO THE CONSULTANT:

After carrying out the site visit and based on the initial study of the documents, the key issues and concerns noticed are as follows:

Geometric Improvement: Geometric design will be verified in comparison with the provisions of applicable Geometric design manual and accordingly improvements if required will be rec-ommended to OWD for approval. Geometric design improvement at the locations wherein ROW is restricted will also be modified/improved and the same will also be finalized after dis-cussion with OWD.

Fixing of Horizontal Alignment: During the kick off meeting with the Client, It was opined that no additional land would be acquired furthermore. Therefore, the proposed centre line of the project may have to be accommodated within the proposed/available RoWs keeping in view all the constraints of geometric design parameters.

Concentric/Eccentric Widening: In the entire length of Project Corridor, approximately 30% of the alignment falls in the eccentric widening category while 70% of the alignment falls in the concentric widening of the road. Therefore, the traffic diversion and its management as well as the safety aspects in such areas shall have to be taken care of during the construction pe-riod of the Project.

Bus bays / Bus shelters: 58 nos. (30 no’s on LHS and 28 no’s on RHS) of Bus Bays-cum-shelters for package P04A are proposed in the DPR design drawings at the small settlements. The same needs to be verified on the basis of importance of the junction/settlement and some locations may be shifted or additional requirements will be notified.

Survey/BMP Pillars: As the DPR was done 7 years back in the year 2006, all of the Survey pillars were missing and disturbed along the entire corridor. Correctness of the survey data as per field condition has been verified. New pillars are being erected in case of additional re-quirement as well as in place of the disturbed pillars. Disturbed TBM pillar construction and verifying Bench Marks Completed in 1st Milestone.

CD Structures: In site visit for design review work, providing adequate number of CD struc-tures as compared to the site condition and contract provisions has been verified and neces-sary changes has been suggested in design review report. Areas such as water stagnation, ponding and swampy areas has been identified and necessary methodology for construction (if required) has been recommended in design review report.

Canals and Irrigation structures: At many of the locations like at Km 8+500(LHS), irrigation canals are running just parallel to existing carriageway. The proposed roadway/carriageway and its embankment toes may fall in to the waterway of the canal and obstruct the flow. Op-tional studies like shifting of alignment or provision of toe/retaining wall may have to be con-sidered, which is being dealt in the design review work. Similarly an important Irrigation structure exists at Km 31+100(RHS) just adjacent to existing carriageway and at the same location the proposed DPR FRL is around 1.5 meter raised with respect to the existing road FRL which may badly affect the irrigation structure. OWD has told during the site visit that the height of the Irrigation structure would be raised, the matter has been pursued by OWD with the Irrigation Department. And the Irrigation Department has agreed to raise the level of Structure.

Issues of CBR: As per part II of contract specification, clause no. 305.2.1.5, soil/sand re-quired for embankment construction shall be of CBR not less than 10%. Contractor has been



10-3

able so far to locate Komonga village borrow area for soil for which statutory approval proce-dure is being processed.

Safety: Engineer has to ensure safety during construction. Proper road diversions, road sign-age, road markings etc. for guiding road users has to be ensured to reduce injury and elimina-tion of loss of human lives. Use of gum boots, gloves, safety helmets etc. will have to be en-sured while construction. Black spots along the corridor to be identified. Engineer will review the safety provisions provided in the report and recommend improvement, if any.

Environmental Issues: Engineer would check each and every aspect of mitigation meas-ures and give especial attention on environmental clearances. The Engineer has a major challenge to review the available report and check the compliance of the requirement for the project.
