In this regard, the meeting has already been conducted by the Regional Officer at their office on the dates
26.10.2023 and 27.10.2023. The Typical Cross Section (TCS) is also enclosed in Schedule B, specifying a
carriageway width of (2x11 m) for both ends of the carriageway, as also mentioned in Schedule D,
paragraph 2.2. The contractor is well aware that they are required to construct a 4-lane road in
accordance with IRC SP 84 2019.

During the meeting, in the presence of the Project Director, Authority Engineer, and Contractor, it was
agreed upon that the TCS would be enclosed in Schedule B. We are currently unaware of why this point is
being revisited. The authorities need to address this matter, as providing unnecessary benefits to the
contractor may be perceived as unwarranted. It should be noted that the TCS is a part of the Tender
Document.

Besides the two structures outlined in our report titled "GAD Drawing PIU Muradabad /FFR/Elevated -1,"
the covered drain, as dictated by the site condition, is indicated in the drawing with lengths of (230 m &
180 m). This is also depicted in the drawing with its typical cross-section labeled as "Section GG" with a
width of 12m.

It was also discussed during the meeting with the Regional Officer (RO) that if the contractor doesnot
cover the drain, they are obligated to provide full protection arrangements to ensure the safety of road
users, including crash barriers. The quantity of crash barriers allocated for this purpose may be utilized to
cover the Nala as per site requirements.

And at km 3+422 the TCS 3 is applicable as per Schedule B,There is already existing slip (km 3.8 to km
5.4)road along the alignment and for this stretch the contractor have adopt the TCS 3,3A,4 with full
height RE wall for widening the road on left side as per schedule B TCS Enclosed and per per site
condition there is good enough space to retain the existing slip road by providing the overlay thickness
over it.

ForKindly refer Schedule B in Clause 15 in the Sub Title of Utility Shifting.
