Build Services and does not constitute unrelated work and that it is technically
practicable, taking into account both the state of advancement of the Design-Build
Services and the technical compatibility of the Change envisaged with the nature of the
Design-Build Services as specified in the Contract.

Contract propose to the Owner, with a copy to the Project Manager, any Change that
the Contractor considers necessary or desirable to improve the quality, efficiency or
safety of the Design-Build Services. The Owner may at its discretion approve or reject
any Change proposed by the Contractor.

not result in any adjustment of the Contract Price or the Time for Completion.

(4) The procedure on how to proceed with and execute Changes is specified

proposed Change and shall notify the Contractor in writing thereof.

(7) The Contractor’s failure to object pursuant to GC Section 10.1.2(6) shall neither
affect its right to object to any subsequent requested Changes or Change Orders herein,

percentage increase or decrease in the Contract Price that any Change not objected to
by the Contractor represents.

(8) Upon receipt of the Change Proposal, the Owner and the Contractor shall
mutually agree upon all matters therein contained. No later than 14 days after such
agreement, the Owner shall, if it intends to proceed with the Change, issue the
Contractor with a Change Order.

(9) If the Owner decides not to proceed with the Change for whatever reason, it
shall notify the Contractor prior to the expiration of 14 days after the agreement on the
Change. Under such circumstances, the Contractor shall be entitled to reimbursement

immediately proceed with effecting the Changes covered by such Order. The parties

Proposal.

Page 246 of 553

 Technical Specifications

and measure flow at ESRs and communicate to control center, and pressure
control at critical junctures. The system is designed for ultimate flows and has
to serve the present demand which will progressively increase. The hydraulic
design done for ultimate demand is to be checked for residual heads for present
demand and intermediate demand also. The residual heads (pressures) are also
to be regulated and need to be adjusted for progressive changes in demand. The
inflow into ESRs has to be controlled to the required rate of flow and also to
control the cumulative flow. When the ESRs overflow the level is to be sensed
and the flow into ESR is to be stopped. To achieve this control of inflow into
the ESR with manual operations is infeasible and not desirable. It is necessary
to provide flow and level measurement and control device. Pressure control
devices will have to be installed at critical points in the distribution network.
Apart from the above the flow measurement also helps in analyzing the water
losses and water auditing in the system. The availability of dependable quality
power is always an issue which affects the performance of the control devices.

(ii) Main Components of Flow and pressure measurement and controls are:
Ultrasonic Level (ESR) Sensor and Transmitter, Pressure Sensor and
Transmitter and pressure reducing valve if required, Turbine flow meter with
signal generation, Valve Actuator MotorValve Actuator Drive (MOV),
Programmable Logic Controller/Remote Terminal Unit, Battery power Backup
system including for Motor actuator and with solar back up.
(iii) The flow and pressure are monitored through the flow measured device and it
will be transmitted to RTU. When the flow varies from the set point of flow
then the MOV will operate by automatic command from the RTU to regulate
and achieve the required design flow at inlet of the ESR. The level in the ESR
will be monitored and transmitted to RTU. When the maximum water level
reaches in the ESR MOV at inlet will close by automatic command from RTU.
When the water level falls below maximum water level in the ESR MOV at
inlet will open by automatic command from RTU. The battery back-up system
is required with charger facility with minimum 24 hour battery back-up and
Solar Connectivity enabled.

to be coiled the ovality shall be measured prior to coiling. For coiled pipes,
however, re-rounding of pipes shall be carried out prior to the measurement of
ovality.
8 Detectability
HDPE Pipes shall be detectable when buried underground, by providing an
insulated copper wire having minimum diameter of 1.20 mm, firmly attached
along the entire length of pipe.
To avoid theft or dislocation during handling / laying or earth refilling in trench,
the insulated Copper wire shall be firmly fixed on the outer surface of HDPE
pipe at Pipe manufacturer’s works through external adhesion or co-extrusion or
any other appropriate method. The Contractor shall supply 5 sets of Ultrasonic

Page 348 of 553

 Technical Specifications

Pipes shall be free from all defect including indentations, delaminating, bubbles,
pinholes, cracks, pits, blisters, foreign inclusions that due to their nature degree
or extent detrimentally affect the strength and serviceability of the pipe. The
pipe shall be as uniform as commercially practicable in colour opacity, density
and other physical properties as per relevant IS Code or equivalent International
Code. The inside surface of each pipe shall be free of scouring, cavities, bulges,
dents, ridges and other defects that result in a variation of inside diameter from
that obtained on adjacent unaffected portions of the surface. The pipe ends shall
be cut clearly and square to the axis of the pipe. IS 4984:1995 will be followed
for visual appearance, Handling, Transportation Storage and Lowering of pipes
During handling, transportation, storage and lowering, all sections shall be
handled by such means and in such a manner that no distortion or damage is
done to the section or to the pipes as a whole.
The following procedures should be followed so as to eliminate potential
damage to pipes and fittings and to maintain maximum safety during unloading,
lifting and lowering.
 Pipes must not be stored or transported where they are exposed to heat
sources likely to exceed 60 0C.
 Pipes shall be stored such that they are not in contact with direct sunlight,
lubricating or hydraulic oils, petrol, solvents and other aggressive materials.
 Scores or scratches to a depth of greater than 10% or more of wall thickness
are not permissible; any pipes having such defects should be strictly rejected.
 PE pipes should not be subjected to rough handling during loading and
unloading operations. Rollers shall be used to move, drag the pipes across any
surface.
 Only polyester webbing slings should be used to lift heavy PE (>315mm)
pipes by crane. Under no circumstances, chains, wire ropes and hooks be used
on PE pipes.
 Pipes shall not be dropped to avoid impact or bump. If any time during
handling or during installation, any damage, such as gouge, crack or fracture
occurs, the pipe shall be repaired if so permitted by the competent
authority before installation.
 During coiling care should be taken to maintain the coil diameter at or above
the specified minimum to prevent kinks. Coiling shall be done when the pipe

Page 349 of 553

 Technical Specifications

attains the ambient temperature from the extruder. In uncoiling or recoiling care
should be taken that sharp objects do not scour the pipe.
 When releasing coils, it must be remembered that the coil is under tension
and must be released in a controlled manner. The end of the coil should be
retained at all times, then the straps released steadily, one at a time. If the coil
has bands at different layers of the coil, then they should be released
sequentially starting from the outer layers. The amount of the energy locked up
in the coil will depend on the size of the pipe, the SDR of the pipe, and the size
of the coil.
 Straight lengths should be stored on horizontal racks giving continuous
support to prevent the pipe taking on a permanent set
 Bare coils shall be wrapped with hessian cloth for long distance (> 300Kms)
transportation. The truck used for transportation of the PE pipes shall be
exclusively used of PE pipes only with no other material loaded – especially no
metallic, glass and wooden items. The truck shall not have sharp edges that can
damage the Pipe.
 Pipes manufactured at factory are to be carried to the site of work directly or
stacked suitably and neatly along the alignment/road side/elsewhere near by the
work site or as directed by the Project Manager.
 Damages during transit, handling, storage will be to the Contractor’s account
and replacement for such pipes has to be made by the Contractor without any
extra cost as directed by the Project Manager.
Lowering, Laying of Pipes
 Each pipe shall be thoroughly checked for any damages before laying and
only the pipes which are approved by the Project Manager shall be laid.
 While installing the pipes in trenches, the bed of the trench should be level
and free from sharp edged stones. In most cases, the bedding is not required, as
long as the sharp and protruding stones are removed, by sieving the dug earth,
before using the same a backfill material. Whilelaying in rocky areas suitable
bed of sand or gravel should be provided. The fill to about 10 to 15 cm above
the pipe should be fine sand or screened excavated material. Where hard rock is
met with, bed concrete M15, 15 cm or 20cm thick sand bed as approved by the
Project Manager may be provided.
 As PE pipes are flexible, long lengths of fusion-jointed pipes having joints
made above ground can be rolled or snaked into narrow trenches. Such trenches
Page 350 of 553
 Technical Specifications

can be excavated by narrow buckets.

 During the pipe laying of continuous fusion jointed systems, due care and
allowance should be made for the movements likely to occur due to the thermal
expansion/contraction of the material. This effect is most pronounced at end
connections to fixed positions (such as valves etc) and at branch connections.
Care should be taken in fixing by finishing the connections at a time the length
of the pipe is minimal (lower temperature times of the day.)
 For summer time installations with two fixed connection points, a slightly
longer length of PE pipe may be required to compensate for contraction of the
pipe in the cooler trench bottom.
 The final tie-in connections should be deferred until the thermal stability of
the pipeline is achieved.
 The flexibility of polyethylene pipes allows the pipe to be cold bend. The
fusion jointed PE pipe is also flexible as the plain Pipe. Thus the total system
enables directional changes within the trench without recourse to the provision
of special bends or anchor blocks. However, the pipe should not be cold bend to
a radius less than 25 times the OD of the pipe.
 The Installation of flanged fittings such as connections to sluice/air/gate
valves and hydrant tees etc., requires the use of stub ends (collars/flange
adaptors complete with backing rings and gaskets. Care should be taken when
tightening these flanges to provide even and balance torque.
 Provision should be made at all heavy fittings installation points for supports
(such as anchoring of the flange in the soil) for the flange joint to avoid the
transfer of valve wheel turning torque on to the PE flange joint.
 PE pipe is lighter than water. Hence care should be taken for normal
installations where there could be a possibility of flooding of the trench thus the
trench shall be kept free of water till the jointing has been properly done
 When flooded, some soils may lose cohesiveness, which may allow the PE
pipe to float out of the ground. Several design checks are necessary to see if
groundwater flotation may be a concern. Obviously, if the pipeline typically
runs full or nearly full of liquid, or if groundwater is always below the pipe,
flotation may not be a significant concern.
 However, weights by way of concrete blocks (anchors) are to be provided so
that the PE pipe does not float when suddenly the trench is flooded and the soil
surrounding the pipe is washed away. Thus site conditions study is necessary to

Page 351 of 553

 Technical Specifications

ensure the avoidance of flotation.

 Pipe embedment backfill shall be stone-free excavated material placed and
compacted to the 95% maximum dry density.
 Anchoring of the pipeline
Thrust blocks shall be provided at each bend, tee, taper, end piece to prevent
undue movements of the pipeline under pressure. They shall be constructed as
per design approved by the Project Manager according to the highest pressure
during operation or testing of the pipes, the safe bearing pressure of the
surrounding soil and the friction coefficient of the soil.
8.3 Measurement and payment
The net length of pipes as laid or fixed shall be measured in running meters
correct to a cm. Specials shall be included and measured in the total length.
The portion of the pipe at the joints (inside the joints) shall not be included in
the length of pipe work.
8.4 Excavation and preparation of trenches for laying underground pipeline:-
1 The trench shall be so dug that the pipe may be laid to the required
alignment and at required depth. When the pipeline is under a roadway, a
minimum cover of 1.2 m shall be provided, in other cases the minimum cover
of 1 m above the top surface of the pipe shall be provided. The trench shall be
shored, wherever necessary and kept dry so that the workman may work
therein safely and efficiently. Under roadway and places where it is not
possible to lay pipes upto required depth or laid open on ground, pipes should
be incased all-round with the 1:2:4 (M15) cement concrete.
2 Recovery of other serviceable material:-
All serviceable materials such as wood work, bricks, masonry etc. recovered
during the operation of cleaning or excavations, which, in the opinion of the
Project Manager are suitable for reuse in restoring the surface, shall be
separately stacked and disposed-of as directed by Project Manager.
3 Dewatering:-
Dewatering shall be carried out by the contractor, wherever necessary. The
discharge of the trench dewatering pumps shall be conveyed either to drainage
channels or to natural drains and shall not be allowed to spread over in the
vicinity of work place.
Page 352 of 553
 Technical Specifications

4 Trenching:-
The excavation of trenches shall be carried out by hand or machines. The width
of trench shall be kept to a minimum consistent with the working space required.
At the bottom, between the faces, it shall be 150 mm clearance on either side of
the pipe or as required at site. However this is for the safety of the trench, the
method of laying and jointing the pipe and the need to avoid damage to pipes.
8.5 Jointing of Pipes
The pipe shall have Butt Welded jointing system that shall provide for fluid
tightness for the intended service conditions.
8.6 Bedding, Backfilling and Compaction

(i) Bedding
In case of sandy strata no separate bedding is required. However the bottom face
/ trench bed where pipe shall be placed shall be compacted to provide a
minimum compaction corresponding to 95% of maximum dry density. The pipe
bedding should be placed so as to give complete contact between the bottom of
the trench and the pipe. The minimum cover over buried pipe should be 1 m.
(ii) Back Filling
Backfilling should be placed in layers not exceeding 15cm thickness per layer,
and should be compacted to a minimum of 95% maximum dry density. The
refilling should be done on both sides of pipe together and height difference in
earth fill on each side should not be more to cause lateral movement of pipe.
Most coarse grained soil are acceptable. This may comprise of gravel or sand.
However silty sand, clayey sand, silty and clayey gravel shall not be used unless
proposed to be used in conjunction with gravel or clean sand.
It is very important that the pipe zone backfill material does not wash away or
migrate in to the native soil. Likewise, potential migration of the native soil in to
the pipe zone backfill must also be prevented.
Heavy earth moving equipment used for backfilling should not be brought until
the minimum cover over the pipe is 90 cm in the case of wide tracked bulldozers
or 120 cm in the case of wheeled roaders or roller compactors.
Compaction

Page 353 of 553

 Technical Specifications

Vibratory methods should be used for compaction. Compaction within distances

 Technical Specifications

9 For domestic meters, to avoid damages and over run of the meter due to
intermittent water supply system, it is desirable to install the meter so that the
top of the meter is always below the level of the communication pipe.
10 Before installing the flow meter in the pipeline, it shall be thoroughly
cleaned by installing in the place of the flow meter a pipe of suitable length and
diameter and letting the passage of a fair amount of water flow through the pipe
to avoid formation of air pockets. It is advisable that the level of the pipeline
where the flow meter is proposed to be installed shall be checked by a spirit
level.
11 The flow meter shall be located where it is not liable to get severe shock
of water hammer, which might damage the system of the meter.
12 The installation of electromagnetic flow meters shall be preferably done
in-line, except in those cases where, due to site condition, in-line installation is
not feasible then the meters shall be installed on bypass line. All the installation
shall be done with dismantling joint.
13 The electromagnetic flow meter must remain completely filled with
water, care shall be taken to avoid locations where chances of partial flow are
high, such as pipes laid on slopes. The flow meter shall not be installed close to
the strong electromagnetic fields such as close to power transformer. The
electrode axis of the meter shall be in horizontal plane for horizontal pipe runs.
Care shall be taken to avoid installations of flow meters on the downstream of
the control valves, 90° or 45° elbows or partially opened valves etc. to avoid
cavitations / partial flow conditions. A minimum of 5D straight pipe upstream
and a run of 3D pipe downstream or as per the recommendations of the
manufacture, whichever is on the higher side must be ensured for all the
installation site to avoid turbulent flow profile at the flow meter location. The
flow direction of the water shall correspond to the direction shown by the arrow
on the flow tube.
14 Cutting of pipes shall be necessary for installation and fixing of the flow
meter assembly on the existing pipes. For this purpose, a trench of sufficient
width, depth and length shall be excavated for the underground pipes. Since the
work is to be carried out on the existing pipes of Khargone Municipal Council,
the work shall be properly planned and completed in shortest possible time with
minimum shut down and shall be coordinated with Khargone Municipal
Council.

for this purpose provided liquid limit and plasticity index of such
material are below 20 and 6 respectively and fraction passing 75
micron sieve does not exceed 10 per cent.
Screenings shall conform to the grading set forth in Table 400-8. The
consolidated details of quantity of screenings required for various grades
of stone aggregates are given in Table 400 – 9. The table also gives
the quantities of materials (loose) required for 10 m2 for sub-base base
compacted thickness of 100/75 mm. The use of screenings shall be
omitted in the case of soft aggregates such as brick metal, kankar, laterites,
etc. as they are likely to get crushed to a certain extent under rollers.

(g) Binding material - Binding material to be used for water bound macadam
as a filter material meant for preventing gravelling, shall comprise of a
suitable material approved by the engineer having a Plasticity Index (PI)
value of less than 6 as determined in accordance with IS : 2720 (Part 5).
The quantity of binding material where it is to be used will depend on the
type of screenings. Generally, the quantity required for 75 mm compacted
thickness of water bound macadam will be 0.06 – 0.09 m3 / 10m2 and
0.08 – 0.10 m3/ 10 m2 for 100 mm compacted thickness.
The above mentioned quantities should be taken as a guide only, for
estimation of quantities for construction etc.
Application of binding materials may not be necessary when the
screenings used are of Crushable type such as murrum or gravel.

13.2 Construction operations

(a) Preparation of base - The surface of the sub-grade /sub-base/base to the
specified lines and cross fall (camber) shall be made free of dust and other
extraneous material. Any ruts or soft yielding places shall be corrected in an
approved manner and rolled until firm surface is obtained if necessary by
sprinkling water. Any sub-base /base / surface irregularities, where
predominant, shall be made good by providing appropriate type of profile
corrective course (levelling course) to applicable clause of these specifications.

Page 408 of 553

 Technical Specifications

As far as possible, laying water bound macadam course over an

existing thick bituminous layer may be avoided since it will cause problems
of internal drainage of the pavement at the interface of two courses. It is
desirable to completely pick out the existing thin bituminous wearing course
where water bound macadam is proposed to be laid over it. However, where
the intensity of rain is low and the interface drainage facility is efficient,
water bound macadam can be laid over the existing thin bituminous surface
by cutting 50 mm x 50 mm furrows at an angle of 45 degrees to the centre line
of the pavement at one meter intervals in the existing road. The directions and
depth of furrows shall be such that they provide adequate bondage and also
serve to drain water to the existing granular base course beneath the existing
thin bituminous surface.
(b) Inverted choke - If water bound macadam is to be laid directly over the
sub-grade, without any other intervening pavement course, a 25 mm course of
screenings (Grading B) or coarse sand shall be spread on the prepared sub-
grade before application of the aggregates is taken up. In case of a fine sand
or silty or clayey subgrade, it is advisable to lay 100 mm insulating layer of
screening or coarse sand on top of fine grained soil, the gradation of which
will depend upon whether it is intended to act as a drainage layer as well.
As a preferred alternative to inverted choke, appropriate geo-synthetics/ Jute
geotextile performing functions of separation and drainage may be used over
the prepared subgrade as directed by the Project Manager. Section 700 shall
be applicable for use of geo- synthetics/ Jute geotextile.
(c) Spreading coarse aggregates - The coarse aggregates shall be spread
uniformly and evenly upon the prepared sub-grade/sub-base/base to proper
profile by using templates placed across the road about 6 m apart, in such
quantities that the thickness of each compacted layer is not more than 100 mm
for Grading 1 and 75 mm for Grading 2 and 3, as specified in specifications
above. Wherever possible, approved mechanical devices such as aggregates
spreader shall be used to spread the aggregates uniformly so as to minimize
the need for manual rectification afterwards. Aggregates placed at spread in
one or more layers by any approved means so as to achieve the specified
results.
The spreading shall be done from stockpiles along the side of the roadway or
directly from vehicles. No segregation of large or fine aggregates shall be

Page 409 of 553

 Technical Specifications

allowed and the coarse aggregate as spread shall be of uniform gradation with
no pockets of fine material.
The surface of the aggregates spread shall be carefully checked with
templates and all high or low spots remedied by removing or adding
aggregates as may be required. The surface shall be checked frequently with a
straight edge while spreading and rolling so as to ensure a finished surface as
per approved drawings.
The coarse aggregates shall not normally be spread more than 3 days in
advance of the subsequent construction operations.
(d) Rolling - Immediately following the spreading of the coarse aggregate,
rolling shall be started with three wheeled power rollers of 80 to 100 KN
capacity or tandem or vibratory rollers of 80 to 100 KN static weight. The
type of roller to be used shall be approved by the engineer based on trial run.
Except on super-elevated portions where the rolling shall proceed from inner
edge to the outer, rolling shall begin from the edges gradually progressing
towards the centre. First the edge/ edges shall be compacted with roller
running forward and backward. The roller shall then move inward parallel to
the centre line of the road, in successive passes uniformly lapping
preceding tracks by at least one half width.
Rolling shall be discontinued when the aggregates are partially
compacted with sufficient void space in them to permit application of
screenings. However, where screenings are not to be applied, as in the case of
crushed aggregates like brick metal, laterite and kankar, compaction shall be
continued until the aggregates are thoroughly keyed. During rolling, slight
sprinkling of water may be done, if necessary. Rolling shall not be done when
the sub-grade is soft or yielding or when it causes a wave-like motion in the
sub-grade or sub-base course.
The rolled surface shall be checked transversely and longitudinally, with
templates and any irregularities corrected by loosening the surface, adding or
removing necessary amount of aggregates and re-rolling until the entire
surface conforms to desired cross fall (camber) and grade. In no case shall the
use of screenings be permitted to make up depressions.
Material which gets crushed excessively during compaction or becomes
segregated shall be removed and replaced with suitable aggregates.

Page 410 of 553

 Technical Specifications

(e) Application of screenings - After the coarse aggregate has been rolled to
as per above specification, screenings to completely fill the interstices shall be
applied gradually over the surface. These shall not be damp or wet at the
time of application. Dry rolling shall be done while the screenings are being
spread so that vibrations of the roller cause them to settle into the voids of the
coarse aggregates.
The screenings shall not be dumped in piles but be spread uniformly in
successive thin layers either by the spreading motions of hand shovels or by
mechanical spreaders, or directly from tipper with suitable grit spreading
arrangement. Tipper operating for spreading the screenings shall be so driven
as not to disturb the coarse aggregate.
The screenings shall be applied at a slow and uniform rate (in three or more
applications) so as to ensure filling of all voids. This shall be accompanied
by dry rolling with mechanical brooms, hand-brooms or both. In no case
screenings shall be applied fast and thick as to form cakes or ridges on the
surface in such a manner as would prevent filling of voids or prevent the
direct bearing of the roller on the coarse aggregate. These operations shall
continue until no more screenings can be forced into the voids of the coarse
aggregate. The spreading, rolling, and booming of screenings shall be carried
out in only such lengths of the road which could be completed within one
day’s operation.
(f) Sprinkling of water and grouting - After the screenings have been applied,
the surface shall be copiously sprinkled with water, swept and rolled. Hand
brooms shall be used to sweep the wet screenings into voids and to distribute
them evenly. The sprinkling, sweeping and rolling operation shall be
continued, with additional screenings applied as necessary until the coarse
aggregate has been thoroughly keyed, well-bonded and firmly set in its full
depth and a grout has been formed of screenings. Care shall be taken to see
that the base or sub-grade does not get damaged due to the addition of
excessive quantities of water during construction.
In case of lime treated soil sub-base, construction of water bound macadam
on top of it can cause excessive water to flow down to the lime treated sub-
base before it has picked up enough strength (is still “green”) and thus cause
damage to the sub-base layer. The laying of water bound macadam layer in

Page 411 of 553

 Technical Specifications

such cases shall be done after the sub-base attains adequate strength, as
directed by the Project Manager.
(g) Application of binding material - After the application of screenings in
accordance with the above clause, the binding material where it is required
to be used shall be applied successively in two or more thin layers at a slow
and uniform rate. After each application, the surface shall be copiously
sprinkled with water, the resulting slurryswept in with hand brooms, or
mechanical brooms to fill the voids properly, and rolled during which water
shall be applied to the wheels of the rollers if necessary to wash down the
binding material sticking to them. These operations shall continue until the
resulting slurry after filling of voids, forms a wave ahead of the wheels of the
moving roller.
(h) Setting and drying - After the final compaction of water bound macadam
course, the pavement shall be allowed to dry overnight. Next morning hungry
spots shall be filled with screenings or binding material as directed, lightly
sprinkled with water if necessary and rolled. No traffic shall be allowed on the
road until the macadam has set.
The engineer shall have the discretion to stop hauling traffic from using the
completed water bound macadam course, if in his opinion it would cause
excessive damage to the surface. The compacted water bound macadam
course should be allowed to completely dry and set before the next pavement
course is laid over it.

13.2.1 Reconstruction of defective macadam

The finished surface of water bound macadam shall conform to the tolerance
of surface regularity as prescribed in the relevant IS standards. However,
where the surface irregularity of the course exceeds the tolerances or
where the course is otherwise defective due to sub-grade soil mixing
with the aggregates, the course to its full thickness shall be scarified over
the affected area, reshaped with added material or removed and replaced with
fresh material as applicable and re-compacted. In no case shall depressions
be filled up with screenings or binding material.

13.2.2 Arrangement for traffic

Page 412 of 553

 Technical Specifications

During the period of construction, the arrangement of traffic shall be

done by the Contrator in accordance with the applicable clause of this
section.

13.2.3 Measurements for payment

Water bound macadam shall be measured as finished work in position in
cubic metres as per Bill of Quantities item of work.

13.3 PRIMING OF BASE COURSE WITH BITUMINOUS PRIMERS

13.3.1 Scope
This specification relates to the operation of priming an absorbent
base course, preparatory to a subsequent bituminous treatment, through
application of a low viscosity bituminous material by spraying. The
specification is intended to indicate what is considered to be a good
practice for priming and shall apply unless modified by special provisions to
take into account any unusual conditions.
The scope involves, Providing and applying primer coat with bitumen
emulsion on prepared surface of granular Base of low porosity such as WBM
including clearing of road surface and spraying primer at the rate of 0.75
kg/sqm using mechanical means. As per MORTH specification clause No.
502 complete in all respects with all lead & lifts etc. complete.

13.3.2 Materials
The bituminous primer to be used should be such that it can penetrate into
the base course to perform its intended function.

13.3.3 Types of primer

Table 11.2.1 can be used as guidance for choice of primer on different types
of surfaces.

The primers shall conform to IS: 8887 – 1978 (for cationic emulsions), IS:
217-1961 (for cut-backs), and IS: 215-1981 (for road tars), as applicable.

13.3.4 Viscosity
For selecting the appropriate type of primer out of the materials indicated in
Table 1, the atmospheric temperature during application should be given
consideration. Also, within the range of viscosity specified, the primer for
use may be selected keeping in view the level of porosity of the surface to be
treated.

13.3.5 Quantity of primer

The primer shall be applied at the rate of 0.75 kg/sqm.

13.4 Construction
a. Weather and seasonal limitations
Cut-back and road tar primers shall not be applied on wet surface or during
dust storm or when the weather is foggy or rainy. Bitumen emulsion can be
applied on wet surface. However, emulsions shall not be applied during dust
storm or when it is actually raining. Atmospheric temperature during priming
should be above 10 C.
b. Equipment
All equipment required for the execution of work should be in good working
condition at site.
c. Preparation of base course surface
The base course surface to be primed shall be swept clean and free from dust.
All loose materials and other foreign matter on the surface shall be removed
completely, if necessary by using power blowers or sweepers.

Page 414 of 553

 Technical Specifications

Large irregularities, potholes, depressions, etc. shall be repaired prior to

priming. Minor depressions may be ignored until the surface is primed.
After which these might be patched with a suitable premixed material prior
to the subsequent bituminous treatment. The underlying surface shall be dry
prior to priming. Except that in the case of bitumen emulsions, it may be
desirable to dampen the surface slightly in order to obtain better penetration
of the primer.
Pre-wetting should be done by water spraying, using equipment capable of
uniform application of water over the entire surface. The spraying may be
taken up 2 to 12 hours before priming, in such quantity that the surface during
priming is damp but not saturated with water. Traffic shall be kept off the
prepared areas prior to priming.
d. Application of primer
After the base to be primed has been prepared as described above, the primer
shall be uniformly applied over the surface using mechanical sprayers. Rate
of application of primer shall correspond to the quantities given in
specifications unless specified otherwise.

The spraying should preferably be carried out using sprayer mounted on

distributor truck or with hand sprayer using mechanical pump. The use of
hand-held containers such as watering cans, perforated buckets etc., is
unacceptable and should not be permitted under any circumstances. Quantity
should be checked periodically using Tray Coating Test or any other suitable
means.
Temperature of application of primer should be high enough to permit the
primer to be sprayed effectively through the jets of the spray bar and to cover
the base course surface effectively.
e. Curing
The primed surface shall be allowed to cure fully. No traffic shall be
allowed over the primed surface during this period and in any case not before
24 hours if the primer is a cut-back bitumen and 6 hours in the case of
bitumen emulsion. Any pool of excess cut- back primer, which has not been
completely absorbed by any part of the base course surface during the curing
period, should be carefully swept over the adjacent surface, and then a light
sand blotter course applied. The amount applied should be just sufficient to

Page 415 of 553

 Technical Specifications

blot up the excess bitumen and prevent it being picked up under traffic. If an
excess of bitumen residue is found on the primed surface after bitumen
emulsion has broken, a very light sand dusting may be applied to soak up the
surplus material.
All loose sand should be swept from the base course surface prior to any
subsequent bituminous treatment.

13.5 Tack Coat

Providing and applying tack coat with bitumen emulsion using emulsion
pressure distributor at the rate of 0.375 kg/sqm on the prepared granular
surface cleaned with mechanical broom such as WBM surface as per MORTH

complete for old surfaces at vertical and horizontal joints.

13.6 Specifications for single coat bituminous surface dressing (20mm thick pre-
mix bituminous surfacing).

13.6.1 Scope
This specification is intended to indicate what is considered to be good
practice for construction of single coat bituminous surface dressing and shall
apply unless modified by special provisions to take into account unusual
conditions. The work specified consists of a wearing surface composed of
a single application of bituminous material covered with one application of
cover material of size as specified below, applied on a previously prepared
base or pavement.
The specific scope involves, Providing, laying and rolling of open-graded
premix surfacing of 20 mm thickness composed of 13.2 mm to 5.6 mm

ensure the size

13.6.3 Construction methods

a. Weather and seasonal limitations - Preferably, the surface dressing
work shall be carried on only when the atmospheric temperature in shade is
28.30°C or above. No bituminous material shall normally be applied when
the surface or the cover material is damp, when the weather is foggy or rainy
or during dust storm, except, in case of emulsions, the surface should be
slightly damp.
b. Equipment - All equipment necessary for the proper construction of work
shall be on the site of the work in good condition.
c. Preparation of road surface - The underlying course on which surface
dressing is to be laid shall be prepared, shaped and conditioned to a uniform
grade and section as specified. Any depressions or pot-holes shall be properly
made up and thoroughly compacted sufficiently in advance. The
defective parts should be clearly cut out and the patches of new material put
in, and not put on the existing surface.
Where the existing surface shows signs of "fatting-up", such position should
be rectified. It is important that the surface be dry and thoroughly
cleaned immediately before applying the binder. The surface should be
swept clean free of caked earth and other foreign matter cleaned first with
hard brushes, then with softer brushes and finally blowing off with sacks or
gunny bags to remove the fine dust. The base shall be applied with Tack coat
uniformly preferably by a mechanical sprayer.

Page 418 of 553

 Technical Specifications

d. Application of bituminous material - After the surface to be treated has been

prepared, as specified above; bituminous material shall be sprayed uniformly
over the dry surface preferably using mechanical sprayers. The binder shall
be applied at a temperature appropriate to the type of binder and equipment
used. The premix open graded surfacing consisting of aggregates 13.2mm to
5.60mm shall be applied to an uniform thickness as per applicable IS
standards to get the final compacted thickness of 20mm.
e. Rolling cover materials - Immediately after the application of the cover
materials as described, the entire surface shall be rolled with a 8 to 10 ton
smooth wheeled road roller. The rolling shall begin at the edge and proceed
lengthwise, over the-area to be rolled lapping not less than one third of the
roller tread and proceed towards the centre. When the centre is reached, the
rolling shall then start at the opposite side and again proceed towards the
centre. In the super-elevated portions, the rolling should proceed from the
inner to the outer edge. While the rolling is in progress, additional
aggregate shall be spread by hand in whatever quantities may be required to
fill irregularities and to prevent picking up of the aggregate by the roller.
Rolling shall be continued until the particles are firmly embedded in the
bituminous materials and present a uniform closed surface. Excessive rolling
which results in the crushing of the aggregate particles shall be avoided.
f. Finishing - The finished surface shall be uniform and conform to the lines,
grades and typical cross sections shown in the specifications.
g. Opening to traffic - When straight run bitumen or road tar is employed as the
binder, the finished surface shall be thrown open to traffic on the following
day but if in special circumstances, the road is required to be opened to
traffic immediately after rolling, speed of the traffic shall be limited to 28.30
km per hour till the following day.
Where cutback bitumen and emulsion is employed, the finished surface
shall be kept closed to the traffic until it has sufficiently cured to hold the
cover aggregates in place. Controlling of traffic shall be done by some
suitable device, such as barricading and posting of watchmen, etc.

13.6.4 SEAL COAT.

The scope of work involves Providing and laying seal coat sealing the
voids in bituminous surface laid to the specified levels, grade and cross fall

Metal =0.009).

13.7 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE ROADS

13.7.1 Scope
This is intended to indicate what is considered to be good practice for the
construction of cement concrete road pavements, including preparation of the
subgrade and sub -base underneath these pavements. This does not however
cover the requirements of fully mechanized constructions.
The scope involves providing specified thickness of 1:3:6 proportion cement
concrete as base course and specified thickness of 1:1.5:3 proportion cement
concrete as wearing course as per approved construction drawings and
specifications.

13.7.2 Materials
a. Ordinary Portland Cement/ PPC/PSC- This should comply with the
requirements of IS – 8112/IS-1489-part-1/IS-455 with latest revisions b.
Aggregates
General - Aggregates should comply with IS - 383 -1970 "Specification for
Coarse and Fine Aggregates from Natural Sources for Concrete (Second
Revision)" with special reference to the additional requirements stipulated for
use in road works excepting in the case of Los Angeles Abrasion Test limit.
The Los Angeles Abrasion Test limits shall be not more than 35 per cent and
50 per cent for concrete wearing course and sub -base course respectively. ln
addition, the limits of deleterious material shall not exceed the requirements
set out in IS - 515 -1959 “Specification for Natural and Manufactured
Aggregates for Use in Mass Concrete." Weathered rock should not be used. In
order to make good concrete, it is important to avoid crushed aggregate of
poor shape. Very angular, flaky, elongated or splintery aggregates give a harsh
mix of low workability. Maximum size of aggregate should not exceed l/4th
of the pavement slab thickness. In case of pavements having reinforcement,
maximum size of aggregate should also not exceed l/4th of minimum clear
spacing between reinforcing bars.
Page 420 of 553
 Technical Specifications

c. Coarse aggregates
Continuous grading- Continuously graded coarse aggregate should be
furnished in at least two separate sizes with separation at 20 mm I.S. sieve
when combined material graded from 40 to 4.75 mm is specified, and at 25
mm I.S. sieve when combined material graded from 50 to 4.75 mm is
specified.
d. Fine aggregate - Fine aggregate shall preferably be natural sand. Crushed
stone sand may also be used satisfactorily in concrete. The fine aggregate
shall conform to IS: 383 -
1970, the permissible percentage passing limits on 300 and 150 -micron
sieves shall be
15 -55 per cent and 0 -20 per cent respectively instead of 15 -50 percent and
0 -15 per cent as stipulated in IS Specification. Crushed sand is usually
more angular in shape than naturally occurring sand, and for this reason may
tend to make the mix a little harsher. In some cases, it may prove
advantageous to use a mixture of naturally occurring sand and crushed
stone sand if the former is not obtained in adequate supply or where its
grading is poor. Bulking due to presence of moisture in the fine aggregate
should be accounted for when volumetric batching is employed.
e. Water - Water used in mixing or curing of concrete shall be clean and
free from injurious amounts of oil, salt, acid, vegetable matter or other
substances harmful to the finished concrete. It shall meet the requirements
stipulated in clauses of IS: 456 -2000 "Code of Practice for Plain and
Reinforced Concrete". Potable waters are generally considered satisfactory for
mixing or curing.
f. Dowel and tie bars - Dowel and tie bars shall be plain round steel bars
conforming to the requirements of IS: 432 -1966.
g. Pre-moulded joint filler – Pre-moulded joint filler shall be of the thickness
shown on the drawings within a tolerance of 1.5 mm. It shall be 25 mm
less in depth than the thickness of the slab, within a tolerance of 3 mm and
of the full width between road forms. Holes to accommodate dowel bars shall
be accurately bored or punched out. The joint filler shall comply with the
requirements of IS: 1838 -1961 "Specification for Preformed Fillers for
Expansion Joint in Concrete, Non -extruding and Resilient Type (Bitumen -
impregnated Fiber)."

Page 421 of 553

 Technical Specifications

13.7.3 Water content and workability

The water content per batch of concrete should be maintained constantly
except for suitable allowances to be made for free moisture and
absorption by aggregates determined from time to time during construction.
Adjustments for workability shall be made by variations in the ratio of the
coarse to fine aggregate or improving upon their grading without change in
cement content or water -cement ratio. The slump of the concrete mix for
pavements compacted by vibration should not be more than 25 mm,
preferably between 0 and 12 mm, and that by manual compaction not more
than 50 mm. No price adjustment would be permissible for variations in the
gradations of the aggregates or in the ratio of coarse to fine aggregates
necessitated from adjustment at site.

13.7.4 Tools, equipment and appliances

General
All tools, equipment and appliances necessary for proper preparation of sub-
grade, laying of sub -base and batching, mixing, placing, finishing and
curing of concrete shall be at the project site in good working condition and
shall have been inspected by the engineer before the paving operations are
permitted to start. Throughout the construction of the project, the construction

13.8 Sub –base

Plain cement concrete of 1:3:6 proportion for specified thickness as in
construction drawing shall be laid in accordance with the respective
specification in Bill of Quantities and the surface finished to the required
lines, levels and cross -section.

13.9 Forms
Steel forms - All side forms shall be of mild steel unless use of wooden
sections is specially permitted. The steel forms shall be mild steel channel
sections of depth equal to the thickness of the pavement. The sections shall
have a length of at least 3 m except on curves of less than 45 m radius,
where shorter sections may be used. When set to grade and staked in place,
the maximum deviation of the top surface of any section from a straight line
shall not exceed 3 mm in the vertical plane and 5 mm in the horizontal plane.
The method of connection between sections shall be such that the joint
formed shall be free from difference in level, play or movement in any
direction. The use of bent, twisted or worn -out forms will not be permitted.
At least three stake pockets for bracing pins or stakes shall be provided for
each 3 m of form and the bracing and support must be ample to prevent
springing of the forms under the pressure of concrete or the weight or thrust
of machinery operating on the forms.

Page 424 of 553

 Technical Specifications

The supply of forms shall be sufficient to permit their remaining in place

for 12 hours after the concrete has been placed, or longer if necessary in the
opinion of the engineer. Wooden forms - Wooden forms may be used only
when specifically permitted in the drawing with the exception that their use is
herein approved for all curves having radii of less than 45 m. Wooden forms
shall be dressed on one side. They shall have minimum base width of 100
mm for slab thickness up to 200 mm and a minimum base width of 150 mm
for slabs over 200 mm thick. Their depth shall be equal to the thickness of the
pavement. These forms when used on straight shall have a minimum
length of 3 m. Forms shall be held by stakes set at intervals not exceeding
2 m. Two stakes, one on each side, shall be placed at each joint. The forms
shall be firmly nailed or secured to the side stakes, and securely braced at
joints, where necessary, so that no movement will result from the pressure of
the concrete or the impact of the tamper and during finishing work. Wooden
forms shall be capped along the inside upper edge with 50 -mm angle iron
well recessed and kept flush with the face of the wooden forms.
Setting of forms - The forms shall be jointed neatly and shall be set with
exactness to the required grade and alignment. Both before and after the
forms are placed and set the sub grade or sub -base under the forms shall be
thoroughly tamped in an approved manner. Sufficient rigidity shall be
obtained to support the forms in such a position that during the entire
operation of compacting and finishing of concrete they shall not at any
time deviate more than 3 mm from a straight edge 3 m in length. Forms,
which show a variation from the required rigidity or alignment and levels
shown in the drawing, shall be reset or removed, as directed. The length
and number of stakes shall be such as to maintain the forms at the correct
line and grad -e. All forms shall be cleaned and oiled each time before they
are used. Forms shall be set for about 200m ahead of the actual placing of
concrete.

13.10 Joints
General - The location and type of joints shall be as shown in the drawing.
The edge of the slab at all joints shall be rounded off with an edging tool. The
concrete along the face of all joints and around all tie bars and dowels shall be
compacted with an internal vibrator inserted in the concrete and worked along

Page 425 of 553

 Technical Specifications

the joint and around all tie bars and dowels to ensure a concrete free from
honeycombing.
Types of joints - There are three general types of joints. These are –
Expansion joint - Such joint provides the space into which pavement can
expand thus relieving compressive stresses due to expansion and inhibiting
any tendency towards buckling of concrete slabs.
Contraction joint - Such joint relieves tensile stresses in the concrete and
prevents formation of irregular cracks due to restraint in free contraction of
concrete. Contraction joints also relieve stresses due to warping.
Warping joint - Such joint relieves stresses due to warping. These are
commonly used for longitudinal joints dividing the pavement into lanes.
In addition, construction joints are provided whenever construction operations
require them. These are full depth joints and may belong to any of the above
types.
All joints shall be carefully installed in accordance with the location and
details given on the plans.

Transverse joints
General - Transverse joints can be expansion, contraction or construction
joints and shall be placed as indicated on the drawing. They shall make a right
angle with the centre line of the pavement and surface of the sub -
base/subgrade. Contraction and expansion joints shall be continuous from
edge to edge of the pavement through all lanes constructed at the same or
different times.
a. Transverse expansion joints - These shall extend over the entire
width of the pavement. They shall be of the dimensions and spacing as
shown on the construction drawing.
Dowel bars (see Supplementary Note N. 4) as per dimensions, location
and spacing shown on the drawing are required at expansion joints to
transfer wheel loads to the adjacent slab. For slabs of thickness less than
150 mm no dowel bars may be provided (IS: 6509 -1972). The pre-
moulded expansion joint filler, a compressible material used to fill the gap
between adjacent slabs at expansion joint shall conform to IS: 1838 -1961. The
height of the filler board shall be such that its top is 25 mm below the surface
of the pavement. The dowel bars shall be held accurately in position during

Page 426 of 553

 Technical Specifications

the placement, compaction and finishing of concrete at and near the

expansion joint. This and the protection of the joint groove during
construction may be achieved by means of sufficiently strong bulkheads
(as per IRC: 43 -1972) with holes drilled along the centre line to
accommodate the dowel bars and a mild steel section (as per IRC - 43 -
1972) respectively. The latter shall be oiled or greased before placing in
position to avoid bonding with concrete. The top and bottom edges of the
bulkheads and mild steel section shall be shaped to correspond to the
camber of the pavement at the joint. If considered convenient, two -piece
split bulkheads may also be used. When dowel bars are provided, bulkheads
shall be used in pairs, one at the joint location, and the other some distance
away to hold the projecting ends of the dowel bars to maintain their
alignment. For cases where dowel bars are not provided, one single
bulkhead without holes will be adequate.
The bulkheads shall be securely staked in place at right angles to the centre
line and surface of the pavement with sufficient stakes to hold them in the
specified position.
After the concrete has sufficiently hardened the mild steel metal section shall
be removed carefully without disturbing the edges. The edges shall then be
rounded with an edging tool. For facilitating removal of the mild steel
section as well as edging operation, the top of the section may be flared on
both sides with the required curvature of a rounded edge.
Under no circumstances shall any concrete be left above the expansion 'joint
filler or across the joint at any point. Any concrete spanning the ends of
the joint next to the forms shall be carefully cut away after the forms are
removed.
b. Transverse contraction joints - These shall be placed as shown on the
drawing and shall be of the weakened plane or "dummy" groove type. They
shall be constructed byforming in the surface of the slab a slot not less than
6 mm wide and having a depth equal to one -third to one -fourth the depth
of the pavement at the thinnest part of its section. This slot may be formed
in a manner approved by the engineer such as by pushing into the concrete
a flat bar or the web of a "T" bar using a suitable vibratory device,
removing the bar, and keeping the slot open. It shall be ensured that no

Page 427 of 553

 Technical Specifications

spalling of concrete occurs while removing the bar. The edges of the joint
shall be rounded with an edging tool before the concrete hardens.
c. Transverse construction joints - These shall be placed whenever placing of
concrete is suspended for more than 30 minutes. Excepting in the case of
emergency, construction shall always be suspended at the regular site of
expansion or contraction joints. If the construction joint is located at the site
of an expansion joint, regular expansion joint shall be provided; if at the site
of a contraction joint or otherwise, the construction joint shall be of butt type
with dowels.
At all construction joints, bulkhead shall be used to retain the concrete and
care shall be taken in striking off and finishing the surface to the top face
of the bulkhead. When work is resumed, the surface of concrete laid
subsequently, shall conform to the grade and cross -section of previously laid
pavement, and a straight edge 3m in length shall be used parallel to the centre
line, to check any deviation in the surface of the two sections. Any deviation
from the general surface in excess of 3 mm shall be corrected.

Longitudinal joints
These shall be of the plain butt type and shall be formed by placing the
concrete against the face of the slab concreted earlier. The face of the slab
concreted earlier, shall be painted with bitumen before placing of fresh
concrete.
Tie bars shall be used at longitudinal joints and they shall be of the
dimensions and at spacing shown in the construction drawing. Tie bars shall
be supported so as not to be displaced during construction operations. Tie
bars shall be bonded in the slabs across longitudinal joints, and whilst
casting the first slabs, they may be bent so that one end of them lies along the
forms. After removal of the forms, bars shall be straightened so that they
extend into the concrete placed on the other side of the joint.

13.11 Construction
a. Storage and handling of cement
Cement shall not be stored for a long time and should be used normally
within six months of its date of receipt. Even during this period of
storage it is essential that cement shall be protected from moisture by

Page 428 of 553

 Technical Specifications

storing it in suitable sheds. Storage shed with a concrete floor laid on a well
-drained foundation may be satisfactory. Cement in bags shall be stored on
boards raised above the floor level for the purpose of ventilation, and the bags
shall not touch the walls of the shed. Different consignments should be
separately stacked and used in order in which they have been received.
When bulk supply cement is used, special storage facilities such as covered
hopper bins will be required. Supply of cement should be co-coordinated with
its consumption so that it is not stored right through the rainy season, when
normally concreting is discontinued. Cement having lumps which have been
caused due to improper storage or by pressure due to over -loading of bags
shall not be considered for use unless these lumps can be easily powdered
with pressure between fingers. Before such cement is used,
representative sample containing also the lumps in fair proportion shall be
taken and tested as per IS - 269 -1976, 8112 -1976, 1489 -1976, 455 -1967
or 8041E -1976 as the case may be, to fulfill the minimum requirements.
b. Storage and handling of aggregates
The location and preparation of sites, minimum size of stack and the methods
adopted for dumping and stacking to prevent segregation of coarse and fine
material shall be subject to the approval of the engineer. Aggregates from
different sources and/or of different grading shall not be stacked together.
Each separate size of coarse aggregate shall be stacked separately. The
storing of aggregates upon the carriageway or shoulders shall not be
permitted.
If aggregates are stored in conical stacks, segregation will be increased by the
rolling of the coarser particles down the sides of the stacks. To avoid this,
stacks should be built up in approximately horizontal layers. Dry fine
aggregate segregates and gets blown away easily it may be helpful to
moisten it. To assist in controlling the water/cement ratio, large fluctuations
in the moisture content of aggregates may be reduced by storing the bulk of
the material well in advance of use. For this purpose, all washed aggregates
shall be stacked for draining at least 12 hours before being batched. It is also
a good practice to reserve the bottom 150 -300 mm or so of the stacks as a
drainage layer. Where this cannot be done, the aggregates should not be
placed on the ground. In such case, somewhat raised planks, metal sheets or
concrete base should be provided and laid to slopes.

Page 429 of 553

 Technical Specifications

The aggregates shall be handled from the stacks and fed into the mixer in such
a manner as to secure the stipulated grading of the material. Aggregates that
have become mixed with earth or other foreign material shall not be used.
They shall be washed clean before use.
c. Batching of materials
All batching of materials shall be by weight or volume as approved by the
Engineer. The proportion of ingredients shall be as specified in the item of
work in Bill of Quantities, The Engineer may permit the use of fractional bags
of cement provided they are accurately weighed and are handled in a manner
meeting with his approval. Water may be measured by volume. It should,
however, be borne in mind that weigh batching is definitely much more
desirable than volume batching. If batching by volume is permitted, as a
special case, separate measuring boxes shall be provided for the different
aggregates. The boxes shall be of strong construction provided with handles
for convenient lifting and loading into the mixer. They shall be of such size
that it should be possible to measure out the requisite quantity of aggregate
per batch in whole box or by multiples thereof and capable of being lifted by
two men. Each box shall be provided with a straight edge of required length
for striking off after filling. If so directed by the engineer, improved facilities
such as tipping boxes of accurate capacity working on run - out rails arranged
for direct delivery into the hopper of the mixer shall be provided by the
construction agency. In volume batching, suitable allowance shall be
made for the hulking of fine aggregate due to the presence of water. For this
purpose the bulking shall be determined as per relevant Indian Standard
Specification.

d. Mixing
General - The mixing of concrete shall be done in a batch mixer of approved
type, which will ensure a uniform distribution of materials throughout the
mass, so that the mix is uniform in colour and homogeneous. All concrete
shall be mixed in quantities for immediate use.
The mixer shall be equipped with approved water -measuring device capable
of accurate measurement of water required per batch. The mixer shall
preferably be equipped with a mechanically operated pump for filling the
mixer tank.

Page 430 of 553

 Technical Specifications

The mixer, if so specified, shall be equipped with an approved timing device

which will automatically lock the discharge lever during the full time of
mixing and release it at the end of the mixing period; the device shall also be
equipped with a ball, adjusted to ring each time the lock is released. If the
timing device gets broken, the mixer will be permitted to be used while the
same is being repaired, provided an approved time -piece equipped with
minute and second bands is provided. Each batch shall be mixed for at least
one and a half minutes. Spilling of the materials at either end of the mixer
shall be corrected by reducing the size of the batch and in no case shall the
volume of the mixed material per batch exceed the manufacturers guaranteed
capacity of the mixer. The type, size and number of mixers shall be so chosen
as to provide the required output without overloading. The mixing speed of
the drum shall not be less than 15 revolutions per minute nor the peripheral
speed of the drum greater than 60 m per minute. The batch of cement, fine
aggregate and coarse aggregate shall be fed into the mixer simultaneously
with the water being introduced either at the same time or before the dry
materials. The entire contents of the drum shall be discharged before any
materials are placed therein for the succeeding batch.
The skip shall be so maintained and operated that each batch will be
completely discharged into the mixing drum at the loading of the mixer. The
mixer shall be cleaned at suitable intervals while in use.
Pick -up and throw -over blades in the drum of the miner which are worn
down 20 mm or more in depth shall be replaced with new blades.
Time of mixing - The mixing of each batch will continue not less than one
and half minute after all the materials are discharged into the mixer.
Re-tempering - The re-tempering of concrete i.e. remixing with or without
additional cement, aggregate or water shall not be permitted.

Control of workability and strength

a. Work ability of concrete - The workability of concrete shall be checked by
performing "slump test" or "compacting factor test" in accordance with IS ;
1199 -1959 “Method of Sampling and Analysis of Concrete." The frequency
of testing shall be one test per 10 m3 of concrete and the permissible
tolerances from the specified value for workability shall be -
Slump ± 12 mm

Page 431 of 553

 Technical Specifications

Compacting factor ± 0.03

Where variations beyond the permitted tolerances are observed, necessary
adjustment shall be made keeping the water cement ratio same.
b. Strength of concrete - The strength of concrete shall be determined either
by compressive or flexural strength tests (preferably the latter, since concrete
pavements are designed on the basis of flexural strength of concrete)
depending on the facilities available. For this purpose, during the progress of
the work, cube/beam samples shall be cast for testing at 7 and 28 days.
Sampling and testing shall be done in accordance with IS - 1199 -1959
“Method of Sampling and Analysis of Concrete" and IS - 528.30 -1959
"Method of Test for Strength of Concrete" respectively. The minimum
frequency of samples shall be 3 cube/beam samples for each age of 7 and 28
days for every 30 m3 of concrete.
On a paying job, the strength of concrete should be continuously monitored to
ensure that the desired strength is achieved. In certain -cases, because of
change in the source ofcement or control or climatic factors, the strength
may show some variations, which would require re -designing of the mix.

Transporting and placing of concrete -

The concrete shall be mixed in quantities required for immediate use and shall
be deposited on the sub -base to the required depth and width of the pavement
section, in successive batches and in continuous operation without the use of
intermediate forms or bulk -heads between joints. Care shall be taken to see
that no segregation of materials results whilst the concrete is being
transported from the mixer to the place where it is deposited. The usual
method of transport of concrete in India is in pans as head loads or in small
wheel barrows. The spreading shall be as uniform as possible to avoid re-
handling of the concrete. Where, however, a certain amount of re -distribution
is necessary, it shall be done with shovels and not with rakes. While being
placed, the concrete shall be tamped with suitable tools for slab thicknesses of
12.5 cm and less so that formation of voids or honeycomb pockets is
prevented. The concrete shall be particularly well placed and tapped against
the forms and along all joints, for higher thicknesses an internal vibrator shall
be employed in lieu of rodding of the concrete. To effect adequate

Page 432 of 553

 Technical Specifications

compaction, the concrete shall be placed with appropriate surcharge over the
final slab thickness. The amount of surcharge will depend on the mode of
placement of concrete and shall be determined by trial. In general, the
required surcharge is about 20 per cent of the required slab thickness. Any
portion of the batch of concrete that becomes segregated while depositing it
on sub-grade shall be thoroughly mixed with the main body of the batch
during the process of spreading. In case of unavoidable interruption, a full
depth transverse joint shall be made at the point of stoppage of work provided
the section on which the work has been suspended is about 2 to 3 hours long.
In placing of concrete for two course construction, necessitated by either
positioning of the reinforcement, a richer mix for the wearing surface, or
when thickness of the concrete is beyond 20 cm, the bottom layer of concrete
shall be struck off to the required levels by a vibrating screed working on the
side forms with notches corresponding to the depth of the top course of
concrete.
The vibrating screed should have a vibrating unit mounted on it similar to that
of the screed used for compaction of the final surface of concrete. The time
lag between laying of the two courses shall not exceed the initial setting time
of cement.

Placement of steel
a. Reinforcement - Reinforcing steel shall be free from dirt, scale or other
foreign matter and rust of such degree or development as to impair bond of
the steel with the concrete. The width of fabric sheets or bar mats shall be
such that when properly placed into the work the extreme longitudinal bars or
wires of the sheets or mats will be located not less than 50 mm and not more
than 100 mm from the edges of the slab. Except for dummy joints, the
length of fabric sheets or bar mats shall be such that when properly placed
into the work, the reinforcement will be clear of transverse joints by not less
than 50 mm and not more than 100 mm as measured from the centre of
the Joint to the ends of longitudinal bars or wires of the sheet or mat.
While overlapping the sheets or mats in either direction, the overlap shall
be at least equal to the spacing between the bars or wires in the respective
direction or 40 times the diameter of the bar or wire, whichever is more.

Page 433 of 553

 Technical Specifications

Whilst using reinforcement in one layer, the concrete shall be placed in two
stages. Theinitial layer shall be uniformly struck off to a depth corresponding
to the reinforcement shown in the drawings and lightly compacted by a screed
to obtain uniform levels. The reinforcing fabric sheet or bar mat shall then
be placed on the compacted layer of concrete and remaining depth shall be
filled in with concrete thereafter.
In doing this operation, the initial layer of concrete shall be struck off to the
entire width of the slabs and of sufficient length to permit sheet or mat of
reinforcement to be laid full length without further manipulations of the
reinforcement. Displacement of the reinforcement during concreting
operations shall be prevented.
b. Load transfer devices - dowels - Transverse expansion joints shall be
equipped with dowels of the dimension and at the spacing and location
indicated on the drawing. They shall be firmly supported in place, accurately
aligned parallel to the sub-grade/sub -base, parallel to each other and parallel
to the centre line of the pavement, by means of appropriate dowel supports.
The dowel supports shall ensure that the dowels are not displaced during
construction. The permissible tolerances in dowel bar alignment in both
vertical and horizontal directions shall be 1 mm in 100 mm for dowels of 20
mm and smaller diameters and 0.5 mm in 100 mm for dowels of diameter
greater than 20 mm. One -half of each dowel shall be painted with a thin
film of bitumen and equipped with a tight fitting metal sleeve of the
dimensions shown on the drawing to provide space for the dowel when
pavement expands and the join closes. This sleeve shall be partly filled with
cotton waste to prevent it being pushed too far on the dowel during
construction.
These sleeves are not required on dowels, if used, in dummy contraction or
construction joints.
c. Tie bars - Tie bars provided in longitudinal joints of plain butt type to
prevent opening of such joints shall be bonded to the adjacent slabs on both
sides of the longitudinal joint. They are installed by providing appropriate
(drilled) holes in the side forms depending on the size and spacing of bars.
They are bent aside temporarily to avoid obstruction to construction traffic
and straightened later at the time of laying of slab in the adjacent lane.

Page 434 of 553

 Technical Specifications

Compaction and finishing

Compaction - The pavement shall be compacted either by means of a

power-driven pavers-cum -finisher or by a vibrating screed along with
internal vibrators where the slab thickness is more than 12.5 cm. For lesser
thicknesses vibrating screed may be supplemented with manual rodding. For
areas where the width of the slab is very small as at the corner of street
junctions, etc. compaction with wooden hand tampers may be adopted subject
to the approval of the Project Manager. In no case, however, hand
compaction shall be permitted for slab thicknesses beyond 10 cm. All
compaction shall be done in accordance with the following requirements –
(i) Where hand tamping is permitted as a special case –
(i) Concrete with surcharge, as soon as placed, shall be struck off uniformly
and screeded, to such level above the base that when compacted and finished,
the pavement shall conform to the grade and cross -section indicated by the
plans. The entire surface shall then be tamped and the tamping operation
continued until a close knit dense surface is obtained.
(ii) The tamper shall rest on the side forms and shall be drawn ahead with a
sawing motion, in combination with a series of lifts and drops alternating
with lateral shifts, the aim of this operation being compaction and screeding
to the approximate level required. Subsequent tamping should advance about
75 mm at a time in the direction in which the work is proceeding, and in the
final stages tamping should be closer, about 12 mm at a time until a level and
dense surface is obtained.
(iii) Segregated particles of coarse aggregate which collect in front of the tamper
or screed shall be thrown outside the forms or thoroughly mixed by hand with
the un compacted mass of concrete already placed. Under no circumstances
shall such segregate particles be carried forward and pushed on to the base in
front of the mass.
(iv) Compaction by tamping or screeding shall be carried on till the mortar in
the mix just works up to the surface. Care shall be exercised and the
operation of tamping so controlled as to prevent an excess of mortar and
water from being worked on to the top. Repeated operation other than to
secure the necessary compaction and to eliminate voids shall be avoided.

Page 435 of 553

 Technical Specifications

(v) Immediately after the tamping or screeding has been completed and
before the concrete has hardened, While the concrete is still in a plastic stage, the
surface shall be inspected for irregularities with a profile checking template and
any needed correction made by adding or removing concrete followed by further
compaction and finishing.

Floating - As soon as practicable after the concrete has been compacted, its
surface shall be smoothened by means of a longitudinal float, operated from a
foot -bridge. The longitudinal float shall be worked with a sawing motion,
while held in a floating position parallel to the carriageway centre line and
passed gradually from one side of the pavement to the other. Movements
ahead along the centre line of the carriageway shall be in successive advances
of not more than one half the length of the float.

Straight-edging –After the longitudinal floating has been completed and

excess water has disappeared, but while the concrete is still plastic, the slab
surface shall be tested for trueness with a 3 m straight edge. The straight edge
shall be held in successive positions parallel to the road centre line in contact
with the surface and the whole area gone over from one side of the slab to
the other. Advance along the road shall be in successive stages of not more
than one -half length of the straight edge. Any area of depression found
shall be scooped to a depth of 4 -5 cm, filled immediately with freshly mixed
concrete, struck, compacted, and re-finished. High areas shall be cut down and
refinished. The straight edging and re-floating shall continue until the entire
surface is found to be free from observable departures from the straight edge
and the slab has the required grade and camber.
The slab surface shall be retested for trueness, before the concrete begins to
set, with the 3 m long master straight edge and the graduated wedge gauge.
The straight edge shall be placed on the surface in successive positions,
parallel to the carriageway centre line. Irregularities shall be measured with
the help of the wedge gauge moved transversely at various points until it
touches both the straight edge and the concrete surface.
At any point tested the concrete shall not show a departure greater than 3 mm
from the true surface. If at any place the departure exceeds this value not more
than 3 passes of the vibrating screed shall be allowed and the surface tested

Page 436 of 553

 Technical Specifications

again in the specified manner. If the irregularity still exceeds the limit
aforesaid, the concrete shall be removed to a depth of 50 mm or up to the top
surface of the reinforcement, if any. The area of concrete to be removed shall
be demarcated by the length of the straight edge in the position of
measurement across the full width of the slab. Where the point of
measurement in default is less than 4.5m from the nearest transverse
expansion joint, the whole area upto the joint shall be removed to the
required depth. The concrete so removed shall not be re - used in the
carriageway. Fresh concrete shall be placed, compacted and finished in the
manner already described in these specifications and shall again be subject to
test for accuracy of finish.
The foregoing procedure shall be adopted at each shifting of the straight
edge and the whole area shall be gone over from one side of the slab to the
other. The straight edge shall advance longitudinally in successive stages of
not more than one -half the length of the straight edge.
No extra payment shall be made for the removal of the rejected concrete and
or laying fresh concrete.
Although the concrete may be removed immediately following measurement
of the irregularity and while it is still wet, this shall not mean any waiver from
complying with the requirements of this clause, if for any reason the concrete
to be removed has already hardened.
After straight edging of the surface, it shall be finished by brooming in the
manner described as mentioned in the following paragraphs.
Brooming - After belting and as soon as surplus water if any has risen to the
surface, the pavement shall be given a broom finish with an approved long
handled steel or fiber broom conforming to the stipulations laid down in
JRC - 43 -1972. The broom shall be pulled gently over the surface of the
pavement from edge to edge. Adjacent strokes shall be slightly overlapped.
Brooming shall be' perpendicular to the centre line of the pavement and
so executed that the corrugations thus produced will be uniform in
character and width, and about 5mm deep. Brooming shall be completed
before the concrete reaches such a stage that the surface is likely to be torn or
unduly roughened by the operation. The broomed surface shall be free from
porous or rough spots, irregularities, depressions and small pockets, such as

may be caused by accidentally disturbing the particles of coarse aggregate

embedded near the surface.

Curing of concrete - Immediately after the finishing operations have been

completed, the entire surface of the newly laid concrete shall be covered
against rapid drying and cured. Failure to provide sufficient cover material of
the stipulated type or inadequate supplies of water for curing shall be
adequate cause for immediate suspension of concreting operations.

Initial curing - After completion of the finishing operations, the surface of the
pavement shall be entirely covered with wet hessian cloth, burlap or jute mats.
The coverings used shall be of such length (or width) that when laid will
extend at least 500 mm beyond the edges of the slab, shall be so placed that
the entire surface and both the edges of the slab are completely covered. They
shall be placed as soon as the concrete has set sufficiently to prevent marring
of the surface. Prior to their being placed, the coverings shall be thoroughly
wetted with water and placed with the wettest side down. They shall be so
weighed down as to cause them to remain in intimate contact with the surface
covered. They shall be maintained fully wetted and in position for 24 hours
after the concrete has been placed, or until the concrete is sufficiently hard to
be walked upon without suffering any damage. To maintain the coverings
wet, water shall be gently sprayed so as to avoid damage to the fresh
concrete. If it becomes necessary to remove the coverings for any reason,
the concrete slab shall not be kept exposed for a period of more than half an
hour.

Worn coverings or coverings with holes shall not be permitted. Coverings

reclaimed from previous use other than curing concrete shall be thoroughly
washed prior to use 'for curing purposes, if the covering is furnished in strips,
the strips shall be laid to overlap at least 150 mm.
Covering shall be placed from suitable wooden bridges (IRC -43 -1972).
Walking on freshly laid concrete to facilitate placing coverings shall not be
permitted.
Final curing- Upon the removal of the covering the slab shall be thoroughly
wetted and then cured by one of the following methods of final curing -

Page 438 of 553

 Technical Specifications

(a) Curing with wet earth - Exposed edges of the slab shall be banked with a
substantial berm of earth. Upon the slab shall then be laid a system of
transverse and longitudinal dykes of clay about 50 mm high, covered with a
blanket of sandy soil free from stones to prevent the drying up and cracking
of clay. The rest of the slab shall then be covered with sufficient sandy soil
so as to produce a blanket of earth not less than 40 mm depth after wetting.
The earth covering shall be thoroughly wetted while it is being placed on the
surface and against the sides of the slab and kept thoroughly saturated with
water for 14 days and thoroughly wetted down during the morning of the 15th
day and shall thereafter remain in place until the concrete has attained the
required strength and permission is given to open the pavement to traffic.
When such permission is granted, the covering shall be removed and the
pavement swept clean. If the earth covering becomes displaced during the
curing period, it shall be replaced to the original depth and re -saturated,

Removing forms - Forms shall not be removed from freshly placed concrete
until it has set, or at least 12 hours, whichever is later. They shall be
carefully removed in such a manner that no damage is done to the edges of
the pavement. After the forms have been removed, the slab edges shall be
cleaned and any limited honey -combed areas pointed up with 1 -2 cement
sand mortar, after which the sides of the slab shall be covered with earth to the
level of the top of the slab for final curing Slabs with excessive honey -
combing as a result of inadequate compaction shall be removed between
nearest transverse joints.

Concreting during monsoon months - When concrete is being placed during

monsoon months and when it may be expected to rain, sufficient supply of
tarpaulins or other waterproof cloth shall be provided along the line of work.
Any time when it rains, all freshly laid concrete, which has not been
covered for curing purposes, shall be adequately protected by means of
tarpaulins or other waterproof cloth. Any concrete damaged by rain shall be
removed and replaced.

Page 439 of 553

 Technical Specifications

Concreting in hot weather - As placing of concrete in air temperatures above

40°C, or above 35°C combined with relative humidity below 25 percent
and/or wind velocity higher than 10 km/hour, is attended with defects like loss
of workability through accelerated setting, formation of plastic shrinkage
cracks, etc., it is recommended that unless adequate precautions are taken, no
concreting shall be done in conditions more severe than the above. The
procedures recommended for adoption in case of hot weather concreting is
given in IRC - 61 -1976 “Tentative Guidelines for the Construction of Cement
Concrete Pavements in Hot Weather." Brief details of the procedure are
given below -Aggregates, cement and water shall be protected from the direct
sun and mixing operations shall also be carried out in shade. In addition
portable shelters shall be provided to protect the concrete during placing and
finishing operations. This may be in the form of gable frames to cover the
full length of the concrete pavement laid in a day. The surfaces of the
formwork and sub grade coming in contact with concrete shall be moistened
prior to placing of the concrete to prevent absorption of mixing water.
Since the setting time of concrete is considerably reduced under such
temperatures, labour force shall be reinforced to minimize the time between
mixing and placing of concrete. The protective cover shall be adequate to
exclude exposure of the concrete directly to the sun and also eliminate contact
with drying winds. Prior to removal of the portable shelters, the hardened
concrete shall be covered with wet hessian or burlap or the like followed by
one of the usual methods of curing like ponding, etc. In addition, the moist
curing period shall be extended to 4 weeks.

Work on gradients - The progress on gradient of all operations of placing,

compacting and finishing of concrete should proceed from the lower to the
higher reaches. The concrete mix shall be stiffer than that used on level
reaches.

Protection of concrete - Suitable barricades shall be erected and

maintained and watchmen employed to exclude traffic from the newly
constructed pavement for the period herein prescribed, and these barriers shall
be so arranged as not in any way to interfere with or impede traffic on any
lane intended to be kept open and necessary signs and lights shall be

Page 440 of 553

 Technical Specifications

maintained clearly indicating any lanes open to the traffic. Where, as shown
on the plans or indicated in the special provisions, it is necessary to provide
for traffic across the pavement, suitable and substantial crossings to bridge
over the concrete shall have to be provided. Such crossings, as constructed,
shall be adequate for the traffic and approved by the Project Manager.
Any part of the pavement damaged by traffic or other causes occurring prior
to its final acceptance shall be repaired or replaced in a manner satisfactory
to the Project Manager. The pavement shall be protected against all
traffic usage including that of construction - traffic.

Sealing of joints - After the curing period is over and before the pavement is
opened to traffic, the temporary seal and all other intruded materials in the
transverse expansion and contraction joints as well as longitudinal joints shall
be removed completely and the groove; filled with the approved joint sealing
compound as per IRC - 57 -1974 "Recommended Practice for Sealing of
Joints in Concrete Pavements”. The joint opening shall be thoroughly cleared
of all foreign matter before the primer followed by sealing material is placed.
If necessary, the foreign matter shall be blown out by compressed air pressure.
All contact faces of the joint shall be cleaned with a wire brush to remove
loose material and shall be surface dried before the primer is applied.

Opening to traffic - In general, traffic shall be excluded from the newly

constructed pavement for a period of 28 days where Ordinary Portland
Cement, Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement and Portland Pozzolona Cement
are used, or for a period of 7 days where Rapid Hardening Cement is used.
In all cases, before the pavement is opened to traffic it shall be cleaned and
the joints shall be sealed.

Part I. Disposal of AC Pipes removed during construction phase

Asbestos cement pipes often are found in underground utility conduits and municipal
water, sewer and drainage systems. Asbestos cement pipes buried below ground are
considered non-friable if they are in good condition. It should be noted that active
asbestos cement pipe that is exposed and is not intended to be replaced or removed and
is not disturbed by repair or replacement activities may remain in place and be
backfilled.

Guidance for disposal

Page 473 of 553

 Technical Specifications

a. Pre-Demolition/Renovation Survey
Owner and contractor are responsible for determining whether cement pipe in
a particular utility conduit that will be subject to demolition or renovation
contains asbestos. This requires owner and contractor to conduct a “thorough
inspection” to determine the location of asbestos containing materials before
starting demolition or renovation.

The contractor must keep documentation of the pre-demolition/renovation

survey, signed and dated by the person who conducted the inspection, during
the design build period.

b. Handling Practices
When repairing, removing or replacing asbestos cement pipe, it is important to
handle the pipe in a manner that will minimize the risk of making it friable or
releasing asbestos dust into the environment. Start by exposing the asbestos
cement pipe with minimal disturbance. Excavate no closer than 6 inches of the
pipe. Carefully uncover the remainder of the soil surrounding the pipe by hand
or with a shovel. An assessment should then be made to determine if the pipe
is damaged, cracked or broken.

i. Not Damaged Asbestos Cement Pipe (intact and not deteriorated):

1. Place 0.006 inch thick polyethylene (“poly”) sheeting under the asbestos
cement pipe to prevent soil contamination.
2. Adequately wet the asbestos cement pipe with amended water using
surfactant or liquid soap before and during removal to avoid creating
airborne dust.
3. Separate the asbestos cement pipe at the nearest coupling (bell or
compression fitting).
4. Slide the pipe apart at the joints (no saw cutting) or use other methods that
do not cause the pipe to break, become friable or otherwise create the
potential to release asbestos fibers.
5. Wrap the wet asbestos cement pipe in two layers of 0.006polyethylene
sheeting, seal with duct tape and label in accordance with all applicable
regulatory requirements. This can be done in the trench or adjacent to the
trench.
6. If the trench is filled with water, the placement of polyethylene sheeting is
not required.

Page 474 of 553

 Technical Specifications

ii. Damaged Asbestos Cement Pipe (deteriorated or not intact) or when cutting
or mechanical breakage (e.g., with saws, snap or blade cutting, and/or
tapping) is necessary:
1. Place 0.006 inch thick polyethylene (“poly”) sheeting under the asbestos
cement pipe to prevent soil contamination.
2. Adequately wet asbestos cement pipe with amended water where cutting or
breaking will occur.
3. Saw cutting of asbestos cement pipe shall only be conducted with a HEPA-
shrouded vacuum attachment or wet cutting equipment, unless it is conducted
within a small enclosure that isolates the area in which the saw cutting is
being conducted to prevent the release of asbestos fibers to ambient air, .
4. Wrap wet asbestos cement pipe in two layers of 0.006polyethylene sheeting,
seal with duct tape and label. This can be done either in the trench or adjacent
to the trench.

e. Packaging, Labeling, Disposal and Record Retention

i. Place properly wrapped and labeled AC pipe as well as all other containerized
AC waste and debris in a roll-off container(s), or covered trucks, trailers or vans
that are lined with 2 layers of 0.006polyethylene sheeting.
1. The container shall be an enclosed and sealed leak-tight container having
proper labels placards as required.
2. If open-top roll-off containers are used, they must be properly sealed,
labeled and secured inside a locked fenced area when they are not being
loaded to prevent access by unauthorized personnel, and covered to prevent
water accumulation.
ii. Package, transport and dispose of AC waste in accordance with local, state, and
national regulations.
iii. Complete waste shipment records must be retained for 2 years by the contractor
of the facility that generated the AC waste
iv. Dispose of AC waste at a landfill permitted to accept AC waste.

Indian Standard Specifications for Drinking Water
IS:10500, Dated 1992 (reaffirmed 1993) in any month
or 2% in any year will be termed as a material default
and would result in termination procedure.

3.3 Performance Linked Revenue Adjustment during Operations and

Maintenance Period

3.3.1 The Fixed O & M Fee payable for each Performance Parameter
will be calculated using the weightages in section 3.2. A maximum of Fifty
percent (50%) of the Fixed O & M Fee payable for each Performance
Parameter will be deducted for default in meeting Performance Benchmarks
listed in 3.1 above.

3.3.2 Starting from the second quarter of the Operations and

Maintenance Period, the Fixed O&M Fee payable for each Performance
Parameter during each month shall be reduced if the achievement under any
Performance Parameter is below the Benchmark stipulated in 3.1 above.
The Fixed O & M fee payable for each performance parameter will be
reduced as follows.
The reduction will be 0% if the Benchmark is achieved. For each 1% default
below the Benchmark, the reduction in the Fixed O & M Fee will be 5%
subject to a maximum reduction of 50% of the Fixed O & M Fee payable for
that Performance Parameter.
