iv. Annual quoted price for 4th year = O4
v. Annual quoted price for 5th year = O5
c) The total price for Construction and operation & maintenance (O&M) for 5
years shall be evaluated on NPV method for each bidder. The following
factors shall be considered:
i. Discounting factor applicable r = 8%
ii. Evaluation will be made by NPV method considering 2
years period for construction and 5 years of operation &
maintenance.

24
 iii. Cash out flow for construction cost = X
iv. n = no. of years for determining discounted cash flow for construction
and operation period for NPV calculation
v. Discounted cash flow factors for years 1,2 3, .n are taken as d1, d2,
d3 , dn
where dn = _____ 1______ Eg. d1 = ___ 1__
n
(1 + r/100) (1 + r/100)1
Where as n = 1 for 1st year
n = 2 for 2nd year
n = 3 for 3rd year
.
.
n = n for nth year
Method of evaluation:
i. Ist year cash out flow for construction cost = 0.4 x X (40% of
construction cost ) x d1
ii. 2nd Year cash out flow for construction price = 0.6 x X (60% of
construction cost ) x d2
iii. 3rd year cash out flow (i.e. 1st year for O&M) =O1x d3
iv. 4th year cash out flow (i.e. 2st year for O&M)= O2 x d4
v. 5th year cash out flow (i.e. 3rd year for O&M)= O3 x d5
vi. 6th year cash out flow (i.e. 4th year for O&M)= O4 x d6
vii. 7th year cash out flow (i.e. 5th year for O&M)= O5 x d7
Summation of Sl. No. i vii (7 years) discounted outflow = A

Total evaluated Price = The net present value of the construction cost and the O&M
cost with discounted rate of 8% per year (A) + 10% of the Land Cost (B).
The bidder with lowest price based on the above evaluated price will be considered as
L1 bidder

 SECTION 5: EMPLOYER'S REQUIREMENTS (contd.)

2.4 EARTHWORK

2.4.1 General

Excavation may be involved in all types of soils including rock including saturated
soil, sub-soil water or running sand including pumping or bailing out of water.

The Contractor shall furnish all tools, plant instruments, qualified supervisory
personnel, labour, materials, any temporary works, consumables, any and everything
necessary, whether or not such items are specifically stated herein for completion of
the work in accordance with the Departments Requirements.

The Contractor shall survey the site before excavation and set out all lines and
establish levels for various works such as grading, basement, foundations, plinth
filling, roads, drains, cable trenches, pipelines etc. Such survey shall be carried out by
taking accurate cross sections of the area perpendicular to established reference/grid
lines at 10 m in case of buildings and 30 m in case of roads and pipe lines works
intervals or nearer, if necessary, based on ground profile and thereafter properly
recorded.

The excavation shall be carried out to correct lines and levels. This shall also include,
where required, proper shoring to maintain excavations and also the furnishing,
erecting and maintaining of substantial barricades around excavated areas and
warning lamps at night.

Excavated material shall be dumped in regular heaps, bunds, riprap with regular
slopes and levelling the same so as to provide natural drainage. Rock/soil excavated
shall be stacked properly as approved by the Engineer-in-charge. As a rule, all softer
material shall be laid along the centre of heaps, the harder and more weather resisting
materials forming the casing on the sides and the top.

Topsoil shall be stock piled separately for later re-use.

2.4.2 Clearing

The area to be excavated/filled shall be cleared of fences, trees, plants, logs, stumps,
bush, vegetation, rubbish, slush, etc. and other objectionable matter. If any roots or
stumps of trees are encountered during excavation, they shall also be removed. The
material so removed shall be disposed off as approved by the Engineer-in-charge.
Where earth fill is intended, the area shall be stripped of all loose/ soft patches, top
soil containing objectionable matter / materials before fill commences.

2.4.3 Excavation

Excavation for permanent work shall be taken out to such widths, lengths, depths and
profiles as are shown on the approved drawings or such other lines and grades as may
be agreed with the Engineer-in-charge Rough excavation shall be carried out to a
depth of 150 mm above the final level. The balance shall be excavated with special
care. Soft pockets shall be removed below the final level and extra excavation filled
Volume II Page - 98 -
 up with material as approved by the Engineer-in-charge. The final excavation should
be carried out just prior to laying the blinding course.
To facilitate the permanent works the Contractor may excavate, and also backfill later,
outside the lines shown on the approved drawings or as agreed with the Engineer-in-
charge. Should any excavation be taken below the specified elevations, the
Contractor shall fill it up with concrete upto the required elevation at no cost to the
department.

Any undulation in ground level, loose pockets or extra excavation done at wherever
necessary due to soft soil or low lying area shall be made good with M10 cement
concrete and no extra claim shall be entertained on this account.

All excavations shall be to the minimum dimensions required for safety and ease of
working. Prior approval of the Engineer-in-charge shall be obtained by the
Contractor in each individual case, for the method proposed for the excavation,
including dimensions, side slopes, dewatering, disposal, etc. This approval shall not
in any way relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for any consequent loss or
damage. The excavation must be carried out in the most expeditious and efficient
manner. Side slopes shall be as steep as will stand safely for the actual soil conditions
encountered. Every precaution shall be taken to prevent slips. Should slips occur, the
slipped material shall be removed and the slope dressed to a modified stable slope.

All loose boulders, detached rocks partially and other loose material which might
move therewith not directly in the excavation but so close to the area to be excavated
as to be liable, in the opinion of Engineer-in-charge, to fall or otherwise endanger the
workmen, equipment, or the work shall be stripped off and removed from the area of
the excavation. The method used shall be such as not to render unstable or unsafe the
portion, which was originally sound and safe.

Any material not requiring removal in order to complete the permanent works, but
which, in the opinion of Engineer-in-charge, is likely to become loose or unstable
later, shall also be promptly and satisfactorily removed.

2.4.4 Fill, Backfilling and Site Grading

2.4.4.1 General

All fill material shall be subject to the Engineer-in-charges approval. If any material
is rejected by Engineer-in-charge, the Contractor shall remove the same forthwith
from the site. Surplus fill material shall be deposited/ disposed off as directed by
Engineer-in-charge after the fill work is completed.

No earth-fill shall commence until surface water discharges and streams have been
properly intercepted or otherwise dealt with to the approval of the Engineer-in-charge.

2.4.4.2 Material

To the extent available, selected surplus soil from excavations shall be used as
backfill. Backfill material shall be free from lumps, organic or other foreign material.
All lumps of earth shall be broken or removed unless otherwise stated. Where
excavated material is mostly rock, the boulders shall be broken into pieces not larger
Volume II Page - 99 -
 than 150 mm size, mixed with properly graded fine material consisting of murram or
earth to fill the voids and the mixture used for filling.

If fill material is required to be imported, the Contractor shall make arrangements to

bring such material from outside borrow pits. The material and source shall be
subject to the prior approval of the Engineer-in-charge. The approved borrow pit
areas shall be cleared of all bushes, roots of trees, plants, rubbish, etc. Top soil
containing foreign material shall be removed. The materials so removed shall be
disposed of as directed by Engineer-in-charge. The Contractor shall provide the
necessary access roads to borrow areas and maintain the same if such roads do not
exist.

2.4.4.3 Filling in pits and trenches around foundations of structures, walls, etc.

The spaces around the foundations, structures, pits, trenches, etc., shall be cleared of
all debris, and filled with earth in layers not exceeding 15 cm, each layer being
watered, rammed and properly consolidated to the satisfaction of Engineer-in-charge.
Earth shall be rammed with approved mechanical compaction machines. Usually no
manual compaction shall be allowed unless the Engineer-in-Charge is satisfied that in
some cases manual compaction by tampers cannot be avoided. The final backfill
surface shall be trimmed and leveled to a proper profile to the approval of the
Engineer-in-charge.

The filling shall be done after the concrete or masonry is fully set and done in such a
manner as not to cause undue thrust on any part of the structure.

2.4.4.4 Plinth Filling

Plinth filling shall be carried out with approved material such as soil, sand or murum
as in layers not exceeding 15 cm, watered and compacted with mechanical
compaction machines. When filling reaches the finished level, the surface shall be
flooded with water, unless otherwise directed, for at least 24 hours, allowed to dry and
then the surface again compacted as specified above to avoid settlement at a later
stage. The finished level of the filling shall be trimmed to the level/slope specified.

Compaction of large areas be carried out by means of 12 ton rollers smooth wheeled,
sheep-foot or wobbly wheeled rollers. In case of compaction of granular material
such as sands and gravel, vibratory rollers shall be used. A smaller weight roller may
be used only if permitted by the Engineer-in-charge. As rolling proceeds, water
sprinkling shall be done to assist consolidation. Water shall not be sprinkled in case
of sandy fills.

The thickness of each unconsolidated fill layer can in this be upto a maximum of 300
mm. The Contractor will determine the thickness of the layers in which fill has to be
consolidated depending on the fill material and equipment used and the approval of
the Engineer-in-charge obtained prior to commencing filling.

The process of filling in the plinth, watering and compaction shall be carried out by
the contractor in such a way as not to endanger the foundation columns, plinth walls

Volume II Page - 100 -

 etc. already built up. Under no circumstances Black cotton soil shall be used for plinth
in filling.

Rolling shall commence from the outer edge and progress towards the centre and
continue until compaction is to the satisfaction of Engineer-in-charge, but in no case
less than 10 passes of the roller will be accepted for each layer.

The compacted surface shall be properly shaped, trimmed and consolidated to an even
and uniform gradient. All soft spots shall be excavated, then filled and consolidated.

At some locations/ areas, it may not be possible to use rollers because of space
restrictions, etc. The Contractor shall then be permitted to use pneumatic tampers,
rammers, etc. and he shall ensure proper compaction.

2.4.4.5 Sand Filling in Plinth and Other Places

Where backfilling is required to be carried out with local sand it shall be clean,
medium grained and free from impurities. The filled-in-sand shall be kept flooded
with water for 24 hours to ensure maximum consolidation. The surface of the
consolidated sand shall be dressed to required level or slope.

2.4.5 General Site Grading

Site grading shall be carried out as indicated in the approved drawings.

If no compaction is required, the fill may be deposited to the full height in one
operation and leveled. If the fill has to be compacted, it shall be placed in layers not
exceeding 200 mm and leveled uniformly and compacted before the next layer is
deposited.

To ensure that the fill has been compacted as specified, field and laboratory tests shall
be carried out by the Contractor.
Field compaction tests shall be carried out in each layer of filling until the fill to the
entire height has been completed. The fill will be considered as incomplete if the
desired compaction has not been obtained.
The Contractor shall protect the earth fill from being washed away by rain or
damaged in any other way. Should any slip occur, the Contractor shall remove the
affected material and make good the slip.

2.4.6 Fill Density

Unless otherwise specified the compaction, where so called for, shall comply with
minimum 90% compaction by Standard Proctor at moisture content differing not
more than 4% from the optimum moisture content. The Contractor shall demonstrate
adequately by field and laboratory tests that the specified density has been obtained.

2.4.7 Timber Shoring

The provisions of relevant BIS shall apply.

Volume II Page - 101 -

2.4.8 Dewatering
The Contractor shall ensure at his cost that the excavation and the structures are free
from water during construction and shall take all necessary precautions and measures
to exclude ground/ rain water/ seepage water so as to enable the works to be carried
out in reasonably dry conditions in accordance with the construction programme.
Sumps made for dewatering must be kept clear of the excavations/ trenches required
for further work. The method of pumping shall be approved by Engineer-in-charge,
but in any case, the pumping arrangement shall be such that there shall be no
movement of subsoil or blowing in due to differential head of water during pumping.
Pumping arrangements shall be adequate to ensure no delays in construction. The
dewatering shall be continued for at least (7) seven days after the last pour of the
concrete. The Contractor shall, however, ensure that no damage to the structure
results on stopping of dewatering.
The Contractor shall study the sub-soil conditions carefully and shall conduct any test
necessary at the site with the approval of the Engineer-in-charge to test the
permeability and drainage conditions of the sub-soil for excavation, concreting etc.,
below ground level.
The scheme for dewatering and disposal of water shall be approved by the Engineer-
in-charge. The Contractor shall suitably divert the water obtained from dewatering
from such areas of site where a build up of water in the opinion of the Engineer-in-
charge obstructs the progress of the work, leads to unsanitary conditions by
stagnation, retards the speed of construction and is detrimental to the safety of men,
materials, structures and equipment.
When there is a continuous inflow of water and the quantum of water to be handled is
considered in the opinion of Engineer-in-charge, to be large, a well point system-
single stage or multistage, shall be adopted. The Contractor shall submit to the
Engineer-in-charge, details of his well point system including the stages, the spacing
number and diameter of well points, headers etc., and the number, capacity and
location of pumps for approval.
If any foundation pits are filled due to accumulation of surface flow during the
progress of work or during rainy season, or due to any other cause, all pumping
required for dewatering the pits & removing silt shall be done without extra cost.

2.4.9 Rain Water Drainage

Grading in the vicinity of excavation shall be such as to exclude rain/ surface water
draining into excavated areas. Excavation shall be kept clean of rain and such water as
the Contractor may be using for his work, by suitably pumping out the same. The
scheme for pumping and discharge of such water shall be approved by the Engineer-
in-charge.

The Contractor shall make all arrangements for hydro-testing of structure as per BIS:
3370 part I, all arrangements for testing such as temporary bulk heads, pressure
gauges, pumps, pipe lines etc.

Any leakage that may occur during the hydro-test or subsequently during the defects
liability period shall be effectively stopped either by cement/epoxy pressure grouting,
guniting or such other methods as may be approved by the engineer-in-charge. All
such rectification shall be done by the contractor to the entire satisfaction of the
engineer-in-charge at no extra cost to the department.

Hydrostatic test for water tightness shall be done at full storage level i/c free board as
may be directed by the Engineer-in-Charge, as described below:

In the case of structures whose external faces are exposed, the requirements of the test
shall be deemed to be satisfied if the external faces show no sign of leakage or
sweating and remain completely dry during the period of observation of seven days
after allowing a seven day period for absorption after filling with water.

In the case of structures whose external faces are buried and are not accessible for
inspection, such as underground tanks, the structures shall be filled with water and
after the expiry of seven days after the filling; the level of the surface of the water
shall be recorded. The level of water shall be recorded again at subsequent intervals of

project is likely to cause on environment.

Task 1 Description of Project

A succinct description of the proposed project shall be provided.

Task 2 Review of Earlier Studies

The contractor shall review various earlier studies such as feasibility and detailed project
reports, etc., of the project and understand the project and various aspects associated with the same.
This shall provide a base to formulate the environmental surveys necessary for the project and
assessing impacts of the same.

Task 3 Legislative and Regulatory Considerations

A review of the legal and regulatory provisions applicable for the project shall be carried out
in this task. The objective of the review is to bring out the legal and policy issues to be addressed in
the project at various stages of project development such as design, execution and operation. Also the
contractor should review the environmental laws such as EP Act, Water Act, Air Act, as well as the
applicable operational policies / directives of The World Bank. Besides, the contractor shall also

Volume II Page - 320 -

provide a complete list of regulatory formalities required for the project and various clearances
required from different regulatory agencies.

Task 4 Preparation of Environmental Profile

An environmental profile of the project influence area shall be prepared, based on appropriate
primary & secondary surveys and field investigations. The objective of this profile is to establish
existing environmental conditions of the project area, in terms of air, water (surface & ground), noise,
soil and other environmental parameters, which should form the basis for prediction of impacts due to
proposed project activities. As part of this, the environmentally sensitive land uses (protected natural
areas, areas of ecological value, sensitive receptors like schools, hospitals etc.) would also be
identified and plotted on a map to scale.

The extent and duration of surveys shall be judiciously decided by the contractor as per
requirements of the environmental regulations applicable in India and guidelines of international
funding agencies. The profile prepared shall be adequate enough to predict impacts of the project and
shall cater to the requirements of obtaining necessary environmental clearances from the authorities.

The profile shall essentially include all physical, ecological and socio-economic components
of the project environment and bring out the salient and sensitive features of the same. Important
aspects such as reserve forests, national parks, major water bodies, structures of archaeological /
historic importance, and other environmental resources (if any) shall be identified and salient features
of the same shall be presented.

Task 5 Determination of Potential Impacts

Based on the environmental profile of the project area prepared above and the proposed
project activities discussed under task 1, the contractor shall carry out environmental screening to
determine the nature of impacts and level of Environmental Assessment to be carried out (refer
Section 3 for the details to be carried out under Environmental Screening).

In case of low or insignificant level of environmental impacts, where an EMP will suffice, the
contractor shall review the recent versions of generic EMPs available with TNUDF and carry out
necessary changes to suit the project requirements.

As part of screening, if medium to high impacts, requiring a detailed EA and stand alone EMP is
required, the contractor shall carry out detailed impact analysis. The contractor shall predict
environmental impacts of the project components, activities and sub-activities on various
environmental attributes (bio, geo and physical) through appropriate analytical tools and techniques
such as modelling techniques, over lays, etc. Significant or insignificant, permanent or temporary,
reversible or irreversible, negative or positive impacts shall be categorised separately and presented
for each phase of project development.

All identified impacts shall be summarised in an easily understandable format and the
magnitude and significance of each impact shall be explained in detail.

An analysis of various project alternatives, including the Project and No Project scenario
shall be analysed and impacts shall be analysed for each scenario. Based on the above analysis the
best alternative that causes minimum or no impact shall be recommended for implementation.

Task 6 Social Assessment

Magnitude of social impacts due to loss of land, structures, income, livelihood etc shall be
assessed.Significant findings of census and social economic survey of PAPs along with a brief

Volume II Page - 321 -

account of proposed mitigation measures using the ESF guidelines, budget shall be brought out in the
report. Institutional arrangements with resettlement implementation plan shall be provided where
required.

Task 7 Stakeholder Consultations

The contractor shall carry out consultations with Experts, NGOs, forest department officials
(if applicable) and other selected Government Agencies and other stakeholders to (a) collect baseline
information, (b) obtain a better understanding of the potential impacts and (c) appreciate the
perspectives/concerns of the stakeholders, and (d) secure their active involvement during subsequent
stages of the project as appropriate .

Consultations shall be preceded by a systematic stakeholder analysis, which would (a)

identify the individual or stakeholder groups relevant to the project and to environmental issues, (b)
include expert opinion and inputs, (c) determine the nature and scope of consultation with each type
of stakeholders, and (d) determine the tools to be used in contacting and consulting each type of
stakeholders. A systematic consultation plan with attendant schedules will be prepared for subsequent
stages of project preparation as well as implementation and operation, as required. Where community
consensus is required in respect of proposed mitigation measures for impacts on community assets
including water bodies, places of worships etc., specific plan for modification/relocation etc have to
be disclosed and consensus obtained.

Task 8 Environmental Management Plan

The contractor using outputs of the above tasks shall prepare an implementable
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the project. Preparation of Environmental Management
Plan is detailed under Section 4 below.

3. Environmental Management Plan

The EMP should suggest ways / options for mitigating negative impacts of the project, the
preventive measures necessary. Where required, EMP shall include community consensus for the
mitigation measures proposed. The EMP shall identify the means / agency responsible for
