In case Firm-1 proposes for new JV with other partner, then capacity uitlization will be calculated on
the basis of JV Share in existing assignment e.g.
JV in one project with 30% share:- One projects x 0.3 = 0.3
JV in one project with 70% share:- One projects x 0.7 = 0.7
JV in one project with 50% share:- One projects x 0.5 = 0.5
JV in one project with 80% share:- Two projects x 0.8 = 1.6

The weighted utilisation of the capacity of Firm-1 = 3.1

highway users
Horticulture Planting of new trees from Chainage 200+300 to 226+650
Trimming of plants which were causing obstruction to highway users
1.4. Pending issues
Overlay on the entire stretch of project length of 252 km and service roads has not been taken
up by Contractor yet since the date of completion of overlay is due in next 25 days
Over all progress is very slow regarding repair of potholes and rutting on Main Carriageway
which is causing inconvenience to highway users and is also a concern from road safety point
of view.
Street lighting in
o Anantapur bypass completed on main carriageway and is energized but
for service roads street lighting is pending on both sides
o Kurnool bypass erection of poles only completed in main carriageway not
yet energized till to date, but for service roads not started
1.5. Recommended actions by Supervision Consultant
In spite of the repeated requests, there is no material change in status of works pertaining to
repairs/ rectifications of defects on the project highway. IE has recommended the damages of
Rs 5.9 Cr on the Contractor on account of delay in repairs of defects in road and bridge works
in terms of the provision of Clause 15.8.1 of the Concession Agreement. Contractor shall be
liable for imposition of further damages on similar lines till the date of completion
Contractor is requested to take at most care for completing the overlay before 31.03.2017
since the existing road condition is getting deteriorated day by day causing much inconvenience
to the traffic

Annexure IV- Month of survey for equipment-based road condition assessment
Equipment based road inspection shall be done by the Consultant twice a year as per the month of
the year defined in the following table.

However, since the first survey shall be conducted within 30 days of appointment of the
Supervision Consultant, the following modification to the Schedule shall be adopted. For
example, if majority of highway length (>50%) passes through a state, where defined
survey months are May and November, if appointed date is on 1st March, then the first
equipment-based survey shall be conducted in the month of March within 30 days of
appointment and this shall be considered as the equipment-based survey to be conducted
in the month of May. The 2ndequipment based survey shall be conducted in the month of
November, the 3rd survey shall be conducted in the month of May and so on. As regards
FWD, the first test/survey shall be conducted in the month of March within 30 days of
appointment. The 2nd test/survey shall be conducted in March of next year and so on.

In addition to the reports being submitted on equipment based inspection as specified in
Section 4.2 of the Monthly Progress Report in the O&M phase, the Supervision Consultant
(IE) shall submit electronically in excel (.xls) format certain key parameters to the Project
Director in the following format.
Worksheets under Section 1 (‘Road inventory data’) shall be updated from surveys
conducted only once within 30 days of appointed date of the Supervision Consultant.
Worksheets under Section 2 (‘Road condition data’) shall be updated from surveys carried
out annually for FWD attributes and biannually for the remaining attributes.
Thefields to be updated in each of the worksheets are described below. Each description is
followed by an example of data for a sample project.

SECTION 1 - ROAD INVENTORY DATA


Road inventory data consists of parameters which provide basic information about roads
such as pavement type, number of lanes, topography, etc. These parameters are largely
static in nature, and therefore a survey to update this dataset shall be conducted only once
within 30 days of appointed date of the Supervision Consultant. The road inventory data
shall be used to update specific worksheets listed below.

SECTION 2 - ROAD CONDITION DATA


Road condition data consists of parameters which directly affect maintenance requirements
of the road. These parameters are dynamic in nature, and therefore a survey to update this
dataset shall be conducted annually for FWD testing and every six months as per Annexure
IV for network survey vehicle testing. The first survey shall be conducted within 30 days
of appointment of the Supervision Consultant and the remaining surveys shall be conducted
as per the defined frequency.
As an example, if majority of highway length (>50%) passes through a state, where defined
survey months are May and November, if appointed date is on 1st March, then the first
network survey shall be conducted in the month of March within 30 days of appointment
and this shall be considered as the network survey to be conducted in the month of May.
The 2nd survey shall be conducted in the month of November, the 3rd survey shall be
conducted in the month of May and so on. As regards FWD, the first test/survey shall be
conducted in the month of March within 30 days of appointment. The 2ndtest/survey shall
be conducted in March of next year and so on.
The road condition data shall be used to update specific worksheets, which are listed below.
