be done assuming three scenarios, namely, optimistic, pessimistic and most likely traffic
growth. The growth factors shall be worked out for five-yearly intervals.
5. Traffic projections should be based on sound and proven forecasting techniques. In case
traffic demand estimated is to be made on the basis of a model, the application of the
model in the similar situation with the validation of the results should be established. The
traffic projections should also bring out the possible impact of implementation of any
competing facility in the near future. The demand estimates should also take into account
the freight and passenger traffic along the major corridors that may interconnect with the
project. Impact of toll charges on the traffic estimates should be estimated.

the bypass. The detailed topographic surveys should be carried out along
the bypass alignment approved by Executive Engineer, National Highway
Division, Karwar. At locations where grade separated intersections could
be the obvious choice, the survey area will be suitably increased. Field
notes of the survey should be maintained which would also provide
information about traffic, soil, drainage etc.

developments and / or encroachments have resulted in a requirement for
adjustment in the alignment, or where it is felt that the existing alignment
can be improved upon through minor adjustments.

marks/rating (but fulfilling the minimum requirement as per TOR), his remuneration would be
reduced by 15% over and above the stipulated
-180-
conditions in the contract because of less qualified personnel
-If the original personnel (included in Contract Agreement) is to be replaced by the Consulting
firm and the new proposed personnel is having less qualification/ experience (marks/rating),

original personnel. This will also take into account the contract condition and if the proposed
reduction is less than that stipulated in contract condition, it would be as per the
contract provision.

the originally approved key personnel. Both the Consulting firm and the proposed personnel
should give the undertaking in the format available in Form VII of Appendix II along with the
