level crossings.
2. Objective
2.1 The main objective of the consultancy service is to establish the technical, economical,
and financial viability of the project and prepare detailed project reports for
34

requirement) and

2.2 The viability of the project shall be established taking into account the requirements
with regard to rehabilitation, upgrading and improvement based on highway design,
pavement design, provision of service roads wherever necessary, type of
intersections, rehabilitation and widening of existing and/or construction of new
bridges and structures, road safety features, quantities of various items of works and
cost estimates and economic analysis within the given time frame.
2.3 The Detailed Project Report (DPR) would inter-alia include detailed highway design,

stages as per supplement-III (Additional Requirement for Safety Audit) of TOR.
2.5 The consultant should, along with Feasibility Report, clearly bring out through
financial analysis the preferred mode of implementation on which the Civil Works for
the stretches are to be taken up. The consultant should also give cost estimates along
with feasibility report/ detailed Project Report.
2.6 If at inception stage, Preliminary alignment stage or feasibility stage, employer
desires to foreclose the contract, the contract will be fore closed after payment up to
that stage.
3. Scope of Services
The general scope of services is given in the sections that follow. However, the entire
scope of services would, inter-alia, include the items mentioned in the Letter of
Invitation, terms of reference, general contract and any supplements and appendices
to these documents.
3.1 RoW and Land related aspects
3.1.1 The Right of Way norms for National Highways should be as under:
(i) Expressways 100/90 m

(ii) Economic Corridors and major National Highways requiring provisions for Service 70/60 m
Roads and planned for expansion to 8-lanes
(iii) National Highways with planed capacity to 6-lane Configuration 60 m
(iv) National Highways with planned capacity to 4-lane 45 m
35
(v) NH with planned capacity to two-lane + PS configuration requiring provision of Service 30 m
Roads
3.1.2 In case of up gradation of an existing two lane Highway to a 4/6/8 lane configuration,
a comparative cost-benefit analysis shall necessarily be carried out while
recommending development of existing route/alignment vis-a-vis alternate option of
a green –field alignment. While carrying out the cost benefit analysis of both the
options, the following factors shall be considered:
(i) Extant of land acquisition and the associated costs;
(ii) Number of structures required to be acquired along their extant and costs.
(iii) The quantum of utilities and costs required for their shifting.
(iv) The extent of tree –felling and the associated cost & time for obtaining the
requisite permissions.
3.1.3 However, green-field option may not be resorted to in cases where growth of traffic is
such that ultimate capacity does not require widening beyond 4 lanes in future.
3.1.4 In case the green field alignment option works out to be a preferred option, then-
(i) Entire ROW (60m -70m) may be acquired for a maximum capacity of 8 lane
main carriage way with provision for service roads.
(ii) Initially 4 lane carriage-way with4lane structures shall be developed with
additional land left in the median for future expansion.
(iii) The highway shall have provision for service roads in inhabited areas,
preferably of 10 mtrs width, with maximum access –control for the main
carriage way.
(iv) Access to the towns/cities/establishments located on the existing National
Highway, may be provided through spurs from the green field route.
3.1.5 All efforts shall be made to avoid any road alignment through National Parks and
Wildlife Sanctuaries, even if it requires taking a longer route / bypass. However,
where it becomes absolutely unavoidable and necessary to keep the alignment
through such reserve forest / restricted areas, land would be acquired with RoW of
not more than 30 mtrs. The cross-section in such areas may be kept as 3.25m,
(shoulder / Utility Corridor) + 10.5m (three-lane one side carriageway) + 2.5m
(Median) + 10.5m (2nd three-lane carriageway) + 3.25m (shoulder/Utility Corridor).
3.1.6 Similarly, though it may be difficult, while determining the alignment for any bypass,
efforts be made to see if these could be along the revenue boundaries of two revenue
estates thereby minimizing the compulsions of land owners / farmers for cross-overs
to the other side. In case such an alignment is not found feasible, it should be ensured
that access to common facilities for the local people (e.g. schools, Healthcare facilities
etc.) is maintained only on one side of the alignment, thereby minimizing the need for
cross-over for day-to-day life.
3.1.7 Protection of the acquired RoW against any possible encroachments is extremely
important. Boundary stones be provided at the end of the RoW as per provisions of
IRC: SP:84 and also supplemented as per Circular dated 08.12.2015 issued by
National Highways Authority of India, MoRTH. The boundary pillars alone, which are
subject to removal with passage of time, may not be enough to save against
encroachments. As such, the typical cross-section of a Highway Road is being re-
visited separately with the intention of providing permanent features in this behalf.
36
For a typical RoW of 60 mtrs, starting from one end, these will require the following:
(a) Use barricading of the RoW with plantation of hedge-like species (Ficus /
Poplars) within a 3m wide strip area, dug up to 0.6 to 0.9 mtrs, of which 2.0
mtrs to serve as a Utility Corridor.
(b) Provision of a Service Road (along the inhabited area) with its drainage slope
towards the drain / area reserved for Strip Plantation, for a width of 9.0 mtrs.
(c) Earmark width of 1.5 mtrs for construction of a drain so as to be able to

capture the rainwater flow from the Service Road (wherever provided) and
the main carriageway.
(d) Three lane with paved shoulders: Main carriageway – 10.5 mtrs, paved
shoulder – 2.5 mtr and earthen shoulder – 1.5 mtr.
(e) Median – 5.0 mtrs (effective width 4.5 m), and
(f) A Mirror Image on the other end.
3.1.8 With regard to land acquisition, tree felling, utility shifting across the alignment,
Ministry’s Guidelines issued vide letter no. NH -15017/21/2018-P&M dated 10th
May, 2018, or any amendment thereof, may be adhered to.
3.2 Provisions of short bypasses, service roads, alignment corrections, improvement of

intersections shall be made wherever considered necessary, practicable and cost
effective. However, bypasses proposals should also be considered, wherever in urban
areas, improvement to <lane> of the existing road is not possible.
3.3 Role and Responsibilities at different stages of Land Acquisition
The Consultant in the process of his deliverables, is expected to:
(i) To delineate and propose the most optimal alignment and take care of
geometrics of the road to meet safety parameters while finalizing the DPR;
(ii) Identify and avoid (to the extent feasible) all such structures (religious
structures, public utilities cremation grounds, private structures) in the RoW
of the road project that could become major hindrances at the time of project
execution;
(iii) Procure or create digitized, geo referenced cadastral/land revenue maps for
the purpose of land acquisition activities. Where state governments of local
agencies have already digitized cadastral maps, the consultant shall arrange to
procure such maps. The digitized map should exactly match the original map
so that the dimensions and area of plots can be extracted from the map itself.
(iv) Co-ordinate collection of all relevant land revenue records (including Khasra
maps, Khatiyan, Jamabandi etc.) from the local land revenue administration
office required for preparation of Draft notification under Section 3A of the NH
Act.
(v) Identify and list all land parcels that need to be acquired as part of project
road. Conduct Joint measurement survey in conjunction with CALA, the
Executing Agency and the Land Revenue Department to verify land records.
(vi) Assist the CALA and the Project Executing agency in preparation of statutory
notification under Sections 3A, the CALA during hearing of objections received
37
under Section 3C, recording of hearings and completion of this process,
preparation of draft notification under Section 3D and completion of the LA
process at every stage, timely publication of notifications and public notices in
newspapers at every stage;
(vii) Clear identification and preparation of an inventory of the assets attached to
the land under acquisition (e.g. Structures, trees, crops or any such assets
which should be valued for payment of compensation);
(viii) Co-ordination with offices of various departments like Land Revenue Office
(or Tehsil), Registrar office and other State departments (public works
department, horticulture department, forest department etc.) for evaluation of
assets (Structures, tree, crops etc.) attached to the land and liaison with
respective State authority for authentication of the valuation.
(ix) Prepare and inventory of all the utilities (electrical/water supply lines/gas
pipelines etc.–
(x) both linear and cross overs) and all such structures (religious structure, public
utilities, cremation grounds, private structures) in the RoW of the road project
that could become major hindrances at the time of project execution;
(xi) Carefully avoid location of any Flyover/VUP/elevated structure where a high
tension electricity line (66/132/220/400 KV etc.) is crossing over so as to
avoid raising of such line at such point, while designing the road projects;
(xii) Assist in demarcation of the acquired land and installation of the boundary
stones/pillars/peg makings along the RoW of the alignment;
(xiii) Identification of land parcels missed out from acquisition in the first round
and assist the Authority and the CALA in preparation of Draft Notification for
acquisition of the land under missing plots.
3.4 Approach to the provision and specifications for Structures:
3.4.1 The structures on roads viz. Bridges, ROBs (Road Over Bridges, and Flyovers), RUBs
(Road Under Bridges) etc. are designed for more than 50 years. It is difficult to
increase the width of the structures at a later date which may also have larger
financial implications apart from construction related issues in running traffic.
Therefore, it has been decided to keep provision for all the structures including
approaches comprising of retaining structures as 6-lane (length of such approaches
shall, in no case, be less than 30m on either side) on all the four-lane highways except
in the following cases (i) Reserve Forest (ii) Wild life Areas (iii) Hilly Areas (iv) Urban
Areas where site condition do not permit this. Wherever elevated sections are
designed through any inhabited areas, these should be six-lane structures supported
on single piers so that the road underneath serves as effective service roads on both
sides.
3.4.2 Highway projects shall be designed for separation of local traffic especially for
Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs), for longitudinal movements and crossing facilities
through viaduct(s) located at convenient walking distance. Provision of PUPs and
CUPs with size of 7.0m x 3.0m, as specified in para 2.10 of the IRC specifications, has
proved to be insufficient keeping in view the increased use of mechanization in
agriculture practices. These structures do not support the easy passage / crossing for
the tractors with trolleys so often used for agricultural operations. As traffic on cross
38
roads is increasing day-by-day, it has been decided to substitute the provision of
Pedestrian Underpass (PUP) / Cattle Underpass (CUP) [for para 2.10 of IRC specifies
the dimensions of 7.0m x 3.0m] with a LVUP with a minimum size of 12 (lateral
clearance) x 4m (vertical clearance). Out of 12m lateral width, 2.5m width on one
side shall be raised for pedestrian sidewalks with grills to make pedestrian
movement convenient and safe. A third smaller dimension VUP-SVUP (4m*7m) for all
cross roads carriageway width lesser than 5.5m may also be considered. Thus VUPs
would be of three grades i.e.VUP-5.5mx20m; LVUP-4mx12m; and SVUP-4mx7m
These structures shall be located at the most preferred place of pedestrian / cattle /
day-to-day crossings. Depending on the site conditions, feasibility of clubbing the
crossing facilities through service roads shall also be explored. Further, the bed level
of these crossings shall not be depressed as any such depression, in the absence of
proper drainage facilities becomes water-logged rendering the same unusable.
Ideally, the bed level of the crossings should be a bit higher with proper connectivity
to a drain, which could serve the drainage requirements of the main carriageway, the
underpass and the service road as well.
3.4.3 Wherever the alignment of 4-lane Highway road project is retained in-situ while
passing through inhabited areas (e.g. villages), it should be ensured that Service
Roads are provided on both sides of the carriageway, connected underneath with a
cross-over structure (VUP/LVUP/SVUP). Thus, each habitation should preferably
have crossing facility at the highways with a vertical clearance of 4 mtrs.
3.4.4 To ensure that bypass once constructed serves the intended purpose during its life,
all the bypasses shall be well designed and access controlled. The entry / exit from /
to side roads shall be controlled such that they are grade separated at major roads or
at spacing not less than 5 kms. Side roads at closer spacing shall be connected to the
service roads on either side and taken to major roads for provision of grade
separated interchange.
3.5 The provision of embankments shall be kept minimum so as to save land as well as
earth which are scarce resources. This can be decided on case to case basis with due
deliberations. However, economic considerations may also be given due weightage
before deciding the issue.
3.6 The Consultant shall study the possible locations and design of toll plaza if applicable
to the project. Wayside amenities Land (minimum 5 acres, length and depth
preferably in the ratio of 3:2) shall also be acquired for establishment of Way-side
amenities at suitable locations at distances varying between 30 to 50 kms on both
sides of the Highway. The local and slow traffic may need segregation from the main
traffic and provision of service roads and fencing may be considered, wherever
necessary to improve efficiency and safety.
3.7 The Consultant will also make suitable proposals for widening/improvement of the
existing road and strengthening of the carriageways, as required at the appropriate
time to maintain the level of service over the design period. The Consultants shall
prepare documents for EPC/PPP contracts for each DPR assignment.
3.8 All ready to implement ‘good for construction’ drawings shall be prepared
incorporating all the details.
3.9 Environmental Impact Assessment, Environmental Management Plan and
39
Rehabilitation and Resettlement Studies shall be carried out by the Consultant
meeting the requirements of the lending agencies like ADB/ World Bank/JICA, etc.
3.10 Wherever required, consultant will liaise with concerned authorities and arrange all
clarifications. Approval of all drawings including GAD and detail engineering
drawings will be got done by the consultant from the Railways. However, if Railways
require proof checking of the drawings prepared by the consultants, the same will be
got done by National Highways Authority of India and payment to the proof
consultant shall be made by National Highways Authority of India directly.
Consultant will also obtain final approval from Ministry of Environment and Forest
for all applicable clearances. Consultant will also obtain approval for estimates for
shifting of utilities of all types from the concerned authorities and National Highways
Authority of India. Consultant is also required to prepare all Land Acquisition papers
(i.e. all necessary schedule and draft 3a, 3A, and 3D, 3G notification as per L.A. act) for
acquisition of land either under NH Act or State Act.
3.11 The DPR consultant may be required to prepare the Bid Documents, based on the
feasibility report, due to exigency of the project for execution if desired by National
Highways Authority of India.
3.12 Consultant shall obtain all types of necessary clearances required for implementation
of the project on the ground from the concerned agencies. The client shall provide
the necessary supporting letters and any official fees as per the demand note issued
by such concerned agencies from whom the clearances are being sought to enable
implementation.
3.13 The consultant shall prepare separate documents for BoT as well as EPC contracts at
Feasibility stage / DPR stage. The studies for financing options like BoT, Annuity, EPC
will be undertaken in feasibility study stage.
3.14 The consultant shall be guided in its assignment by the Model Concession/ Contract
Agreements for PPP/ EPC projects, as applicable and the Manual of Specifications
and Standards for two/ four/ six laning of highways published by IRC (IRC: SP:73 or
IRC: SP:84 or IRC: SP:87, as applicable) along with relevant IRC codes for design of
long bridges.
3.15 The consultant shall prepare the bid documents including required schedules (as
mentioned above) as per EPC/ PPP documents. For that it is suggested that
consultant should also go through the EPC/PPP documents of ministry before
bidding the project. The Consultant shall assist the National Highways Authority of
India and the Legal Adviser by furnishing clarifications as required for the financial
appraisal and legal scrutiny of the Project Highway and Bid Documents.
3.16 Consultant shall be responsible for sharing the findings from the preparation stages
during the bid process. During the bid process for a project, the consultant shall
support the authority in responding to all technical queries, and shall ensure
participation of senior team members of the consultant during all interaction with
potential bidders including pre-bid conference, meetings, site visits etc. In addition,
the consultant shall also support preparation of detailed responses to the written
queries raised by the bidders.

project road stretch on a random sample basis normally for trucks only (both empty
and loaded trucks) for 2 normal days - (24 hours) at special count stations to be
finalized in consultation with National Highways Authority of India. However, a few
buses may be weighed in order to get an idea about their loading behaviour. While
selecting the location(s) of axle load survey station(s), the locations of existing
bridges with load restrictions, if any, should be taken into account and such sites
should be avoided.

carriageway) should be taken into consideration so that the topographic
surveys cover sufficient width beyond the centre line of the proposed divided
carriageway. Normally the surveys should extend a minimum of 30 m beyond
either side of the centre line of the proposed divided carriageway or land
boundary whichever is more
(ii). In case the reconnaissance survey reveals the need for bypassing the
51
congested locations, the traverse lines would be run along the possible
alignments in order to identify and select the most suitable alignment for the
bypass. The detailed topographic surveys should be carried out along the
bypass alignment approved by National Highways Authority of India. 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.

Bridge Works” (Fifth Revision) covers specifications for recycling of existing
bituminous pavement materials to upgrade the pavements. These provisions
notwithstanding, recycling of existing bituminous materials is yet to be implemented
in most of the National Highways Authority of Indiaprojects. The reclaiming and
reprocessing of pavement materials involve both design (how the pavement should
be designed using reclaimed materials with the given properties) and technology (the
methods to reclaim and reprocess, equipment, knowhow and quality) issues. After
addressing these issues, the recycling of pavements will be environmentally and
economically better option for rehabilitation, repair or reconstruction compared to

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT FOR SAFETY AUDIT
The use of checklists is highly recommended as they provide a useful “aide memoire” for
theaudit team to checkthat no important safety aspects are being overlooked. They also give
to theproject manager and the designengineer a sense of understanding of the place of safety
audit inthe design process. The following lists have beendrawn up based on the experience
ofundertaking systematic safety audit procedures overseas. This experience indicates that
extensivelists of technical details has encouraged their use as “tick” sheets without sufficient
thoughtbeing given to the processes behind the actions. Accordingly, the checklists provide
guidelineson the principalissues that need to be examined during the course of the safety
audits.

6. Environmental impact assessment
6.1. Impact and clearances needed
A environmental impact study was undertaken during the process of creating the
detailed project report to understand impact of the project road on the surrounding ecology
and environment. The project road is categorized as a category <xx> project by the MoEF and
as it is <xx km> in length, it <will/will not> require environmental clearances.
The proposed project <involves/does not involve> the acquisition of

forest/ecologically sensitive land, felling of trees and will impact wildlife habitat and will
hence require individual clearances for each. A summary of the environmental impact and
clearances required is provided below

7. Social impact assessment and Land acquisition
7.1. Social impact assessment
The existing RoW (x-y m) is <adequate/ in adequate> for the proposed widening and
RoW requirements as required by <National Highways Authority of India/Authority>. This
will lead to the additional acquisition of <xx>Ha across the states of <states1, 2>, affecting a
total of <yy> villages in <zz> districts. In addition to structures found to be encroaching the
current Row, the required acquisition is poised to affect <xx> residential and <yy> other
structures.
Preliminary interactions have been held with locals to understand their issues and
concerns and help communicate the project plan and its impact on them. The key concerns of
title and non-title holders centered around:
 <Key issues expressed over and above land being acquired, and compensation
norms>
