The Rate of Analysis and cost estimate has been worked out based on following;

1. The quantities have been worked out on the basis of inventory, design and drawing of bridges,
structures, geometric design output obtained from MX Software. The pavement quantities
have been worked out based on typical cross sections and pavement designs. The pavement
design is done based on traffic and laboratory investigations. The calculation sheets are enclosed
with the estimate.
