Section 5. Terms of Reference

1. Short Title 1.1 Construction Supervision of Project-III (Supervision Package-VI comprising 356.214 Kms.)

in Uttarakhand. 2. Background 2.1 The State Government of Uttarakhand (SGOU) has embarked on an ambitious 10 year road

improvement program, the Uttarakhand State Roads Investment Program (USRIP), to support the State’s ‘Infrastructure Vision’. Under Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) loan financing, the program will endeavor to improve around 10800 km of the existing road network of PWD comprising State Highways (SH), Major District Roads (MDR), Village Roads (VR) and Light Vehicles Roads (LVR) across the State. This road improvement program is envisaged to be completed over a ten years period through 07 phases. The major criteria used for selection in Strategic Option Study (SOS) were traffic volume, restricted carriage way width, pavement conditions, and economic activity in the influence area of the road, volume of commercial traffic and interconnectivity of the roads.

2.2 The road improvement will focus on improving the condition of the existing road network by

carrying out rehabilitation and reconstruction works that are mostly confined within the existing right-of-way (ROW). The project basically comprises upgradation / improvement of the existing road sections of Public Works Department involving strengthening / reconstruction of the existing carriageway, bringing the roads to standard width, improvement of the safety features and making provision of adequate signage. Widening of roads is to be carried out only in limited stretches wherever specified. The existing bridges and culverts would have to be rehabilitated / reconstructed wherever required and mentioned in the DPRs. The proposed construction work will involve use of modern equipment and construction practices. As the construction activities are to be carried out in ecologically and environmentally sensitive areas, environmental norms and guidelines developed for the project need to be strictly adhered to.

2.3 The supervision consultancy services for the Project-III will broadly include project

management, supervision and monitoring, quality assurance, contract management and furnishing engineering decisions, verification of quantity, recording of measurements and certifications of measurement and bills of the Contractor. The Consultancy services shall necessarily include administering to ensure successful and timely completion of 08 Number Construction works packages. The consultant shall incorporate latest techniques and technological developments, and, if required, advisory services on specific terms that would be required for the duration of construction and defect liability period.

2.4 Preliminary planning for the proposed project envisages the upgradation/improvement of

356.214 km of Major District Roads, Ordinary District Roads, Village Roads and Light Vehicle Roads as per Table-1 below, hereafter called the “Works”, which may be located in four districts of the state.
