engineering, quality audit and safety audit requirement in design and implementation. The
Consultant shall ensure to carry out Road Safety Audit at various 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 or feasibility stage, employer desires to terminate the contract, the contract
will be terminated 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 90 m
(ii) Economic Corridors and major National Highways requiring provisions for Service Roads 70 m
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
(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.
31
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 30mtrs.
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 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. For a typical ROW of 60 m 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 m of which 2.0 m 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 m.
(c) Earmark width of 1.5 m 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 m, paved shoulder – 2.5mtr and earthen
shoulder – 1.5 m.
(e) Median – 5.0 m (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 digitize 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,
32
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 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 roads is increasing day-by-day, it has been decided to substitute the
33
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-5.5m x 20m ;
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 crossover 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 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
34
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 MoRTH and payment to
the proof consultant shall be made by MoRTH 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 MoRTH 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 MoRTH
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 clear ancesare 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 MoRTH 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.

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 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 MoRTH. 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.

clearly establish the widening requirements with respect to the different horizon periods taking
into account special problems such as road segments with isolated steep gradients.
7. In the case of closely spaced cross roads the Consultant shall examine different options such as,
providing grade separated structure for some of them with a view to reduce number of at-grade
crossings, services roads connecting the cross-roads and closing access from some of the
intersections and prepare and furnish appropriate proposals for this purpose keeping in view
the cost of improvement, impact on traffic movement and accessibility to cross roads. The
detailed drawings and cost estimate should include the provisions for realignments of the
existing cross roads to allow such arrangements.

bypass option identified around congested town en-route.
4.12.4.Pavement Design
1. The detailed design of pavement shall involve:
i. strengthening of existing road pavement and design of the new pavement if any, if the findings of
the traffic studies and life-cycle costing analysis confirm the requirement for widening of the
road beyond 2lane undivided carriageway standard;;
ii. pavement design for bypasses; and,
iii. design of shoulders.
2. The design of pavement shall primarily be based on IRC publications.
3. The design of pavement shall be rigorous and shall make use of the latest Indian and

56
testing and evaluation of its suitability and relevance in respect of in-service performance of the
pavement. The design methodology shall accompany the design proposals and shall clearly
bring out the basic assumptions, values of the various design inputs, rationale behind the
selection of the design inputs and the criteria for checking and control during the
implementation of works. In other words, the design of pavement structure should take due
account of the type, characteristics of materials used in the respective courses, variability of
their properties and also the reliability of traffic predictions. Furthermore, the methodology
adopted for the design of pavement shall be complete with flowcharts indicating the various
steps in the design process, their interaction with one another and the input parametre
required at each step.
5. For the design of overlays for the existing 2-lane pavement, the strengthening requirement shall
duly take into account the strength of the existing pavement vis-à-vis the remaining life. The
overlay thickness requirements shall be worked out for each road segment homogenous with

levels of cracking, provision of a crack inhibiting layer should also be included.
5 (a) For rehabilitation and strengthening, consultant shall consider the alternatives of rehabilitating
the existing pavement, overlaying with the same or alternate pavement type (e.g. white/black
topping) and also the option of removal and replacement of existing pavement layers and chose
the best alternative basis lifecycle costing, and any local considerations such as material
availability, time available for construction etc.
6. Latest techniques of pavement strengthening like provision of geo-synthetics and cold/hot

pavement recycling should be duly considered by the consultant for achieving economy. The
use of technology particularly environment friendly technology viz. recycling of bituminous
mixes, warm mixes and soil stabilization etc. should be adopted wherever feasible. Clause 519
of the “Specifications for Road and 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 MoRTH projects. 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 the use of fresh or virgin materials. Indian Road Congress has published IRC: 120-
2015 on “recommended practice for recycling of bituminous pavements” giving a detailed
procedure for its implementation
7. The paved shoulders shall be designed as integral part of the pavement for the main

rainwater harvesting be executed as per the requirements of IRC:SP:42-2014 (Guidelines for
Road Drainage) and IRC:SP:50-2013 (Guidelines on Urban Drainage).
6. All the bridge structures having a length of 100m or less can be used for tapping of water for
serving dual purpose i.e. to cross the water body and to store water, if technically feasible.
Therefore, such structures should be designed as bridge cum barrage structures (bridge cum
bandhara). Ministry’s guidelines in this regard issued vide letter no. RW/NH-34066/59/2015-
S&R(B) dated 18.04.2017 may be referred.
7. The locations of the culverts should be planned in such a way that the proposed culvert covers
optimum catchment area & the location shall be decided on the basis of topographical survey,
local rainfall data, gradient of natural ground and enquiry from the local habitants. All culverts
should preferably be box culverts as pipe culverts get filled up with silt, which is rarely cleared.
4.12.8. Traffic Safety Features, Road Furniture and Road Markings
1. The Consultants shall design suitable traffic safety features and road furniture including traffic
signals, signs, markings, overhead sign boards, crash barriers, delineators etc. The locations of
these features shall be given in the reports and also shown in the drawings.

housed in a central control centre. In this connection, MoRTH’s policy circular
no.11041/218/2007-Admn dated 15.09.2016 may be referred.
7. As availability of suitable sight distance has a large effect on road safety, the alignment of all the
NHs should be finalized in such a way so as to have double the stopping sight distance
available to the road users at all locations.
4.12.9. Arboriculture and Landscaping
The Consultants shall work out appropriate plan for planting of trees (specifying type of
plantation), horticulture, floriculture on the surplus land of the right-of way with a view to
beautify the highway and making the environment along the highway pleasing. These activities
should be included in the TOR for contractor/concessionaire and the cost of these activities
shall also be added to the total project cost for civil works. The existing trees / plants shall be
retained to the extent possible. The Transplantation of trees shall also be proposed wherever
feasible.
4.12.10. Toll Plaza
1. The Consultants shall identify the possible toll plaza location(s) based on the data and
information derived from the traffic studies and a study of the existing physical features
including the availability of land. The location of the plaza should keep in view that the project
road is to be developed as a partially access controlled highway facility and it is required to
collect toll on rational basis from as much of the vehicular traffic as possible consistent with
economy of collection and operations. The location of the toll plaza should be finalized in
consultation with MoRTH.
2. The minimum number of toll lanes at the toll plazas should be carefully designed taking into
consideration the projected peak hour tollable traffic, permissible service time, adopted toll
collection system and the capacity of service lanes. The number of lanes at any toll plaza would,
however, be not less than four times the number of lanes for which the highway has been
designed. Eventually, all the lanes have to be designed / equipped with Electronic Toll
Collection (ETC) systems and one lane at the extreme outer side for Over Dimensioned Vehicles
(ODV) should be earmarked in each direction.

SUPPLEMENT-III
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT FOR SAFETY AUDIT
The use of checklists is highly recommended as they provide a useful “aide memoire” for the audit team
to check that no important safety aspects are being overlooked. They also give to the project manager
and the design engineer a sense of understanding of the place of safety audit in the design process. The
following lists have been drawn up based on the experience of under taking systematic safety audit
procedures overseas. This experience indicates that extensive lists of technical details has encouraged
their use as “tick” sheets without sufficient thought being given to the processes behind the actions.
Accordingly, the checklists provide guideline son the principal issues that need to be examined during
the course of the safety audits.

1. Introduction
The MoRTH proposes to implement the <re> the development, maintenance and
management of the <NH-xx> stretch from <Origin> to <Destination> from chainage <aa km>
to <bb km> into <proposed improvement, xx lane road/ expressway etc.> under the NHDP
Phase V programme. The proposed project road has been selected to <primary reason for
project- e.g. to improve connectivity and ease congestion between aa bb>
<Consultant> was appointed in <mm/yyyy> to prepare the detailed project report for
the project road, and this executive summary covers is submitted along with the <draft/final>
detailed project report to cover the key aspects of the project.
<Any special circumstances or requests made by the Authority for the project that
affect the consultancy assignment e.g.: MoRTH desired to restructure project into two
packages, bifurcating the project road at Betulnagar, this report has been revised and
resubmitted providing improvement proposals and bid documents separately for the two
stretches>
2. Project overview
As described earlier the project road lies on NH xx (previously NH yy) and connects
<orgin> with <destination>, passing through the states of <state 1, state 2>. The proposed
project alignment passess through <towns/junctions a, b, c, d> for a total length of <xx km>.
