Third Party Quality Audit & Project Monitoring Consultancy Works in 5

ULBs of Telangana under Telangana Municipal Development Project
(TMDP).

1.0 BACK GROUND

1.1 The Telangana Municipal Development Project (TMDP) is a US $147 Million

million project being implemented by the Government of Telangana (GoT) with
support from World Bank (Bank loan of US $ 147 million).

1.2 The project development objective is to help improve i) high-priority urban

services in selected ULBs of Telangana, and ii) the capacity of ULBs to develop and
manage urban services. Urban Services to improve will be chosen and implemented by
eligible ULBs who self select themselves in a demand driven manner based on access
criteria established under the project which would be approved by the Steering
Committee in the Government of Telangana. The project will support improvements
in the financial, technical, and management capacities of all ULBs of Telangana
through TA and as a condition for infrastructure financing. The project will also
pursue improvement of the state-level framework that defines ULBs‟ autonomy,
accountability, and incentives for performance, as well as GoT‟s capacity to monitor,
and provide policy and technical support for, ULBs performance and development.
The project will also lay the groundwork for capacity building of the urban poor
through studies and community training centers.

1.3 One of the key component is Urban Infrastructure Investment, Component C,

(US $ 121 million of which US $ 85.05 million from Bank): This component provides
investment support (loans, project support grants and guarantees) accessible to ULBs
on the principles of self-selection for upgrading urban services, such as water supply
(improvements), solid waste management, urban roads, street lighting slum up
gradation, and other select obligatory and discretionary municipal services and
approved by the Steering Committee in Government of Telangana. To be eligible,
ULBs need adequate financial capacity to sustainably finance and operate the facilities
and an adequate and feasible plan to improve their financial and management
capacity. This component will be funded through the Telangana Urban Infrastructure
Fund (TUIF), which is a Trust registered under the Indian Trust Act. The TUIF is an
intermediate entity which will receive funds from the CDMA, and will fund the sub-
projects at the ULB level by providing sub-loans and capital grants to them. The
component will also include establishment of Multipurpose Community Resource
Centers targeted for the urban poor.

1.4 Nature of Sub-projects

All urban sector sub-projects will be eligible under the project including city roads,
sewerage, water supply, sanitation, solid waste management, street lighting, energy

1
efficiency improvement, and community centers mainly to host self-help groups and job
training for the poor.

A. BITUMINOUS (B.T). ROADS

1. The sample collection for BM/DBM/SDBC/BC should be carried out by

making a trial pit of 150 mm x 150 mm with the full depth of the layer. The
sample thus taken shall be thoroughly mixed and divided into four parts and one
part (around 500 gms) shall be used for Bitumen Extraction. It is preferable to
soak the sample in Benzene for 24 hours to get proper results. Necessary care
shall be taken to see that the sample is true representative of the actual work
executed as few higher size aggregates will adversely affect the presence of BT
percentage.

2. The location and chainage of the point where sample is collected shall be
mentioned for verification in case of disputes raised by Contractors/ Firms.

3. The depth of layers of BT road laid shall be taken only in cross-sections at

random clearly mentioning the chainage / permanent land mark, for each cross-
section. There is no need to average the thickness at different cross sections as
Third Party Check is a random check and cannot be generalized for arriving at
average.

4. The number of pits for each cross section depends on the width of the road. For
a road width up to 7.5 meters, three pits with two at 0.75 meters each from the

17
 edges and the third at the center of the road. Similarly for a road width between
7.5 meters to 11.0 meters, 5 pits at the cross-section as follows should be taken.

L/S
R/S
0.75m 2.0m C/L 2.00m 0.75m

X X X X X

-----------------------------------------------X-----------------------------------------------------

1 2 3 4 5
X ---------------------------------------width of road -----------------------------------------X

The same analogy should be maintained for widths more than 11.0 m by having
trial pits in each paver width treating the same as a minimum of 2.75 meters.

5. The possible water stagnation on the BT road surface should be viewed

seriously and a mention shall be made in report regarding the same if any.
Further the quality of Riding Surface, Disturbed Surface, Settlements in Road
Cuttings, should also be mentioned.

6. The Aggregate gradation analysis should be carried out strictly in accordance

with relevant tables of MORTH. There should not be any other irrelevant graphs
/ comments, not justified by MORTH, present in the report.

12. After completion of work of CC road and cleaning of surface, the site shall
be inspected again and observations on the surface should be made. The
Expansion joints/ other joint fillings should also be verified.

13. In case samples are not collected and compressive strength is arrived at
using NDT then the QC charges will be reduced by 50% and the Agency is
advised not to repeat such practice otherwise necessary action will be taken
against them for not fulfilling the agreement conditions.
B.1 READY MIX CONCRETE (R.M.C) ROADS / WORKS
During the inspection of Casting / laying of CC roads with RMC the following shall to
be verified and reported.
1. The slump of the RMC before Casting / laying.

2. The computer printout about the details of mix and the time of departure. Any
RMC can be allowed to be laid within a maximum time of 4 hours.

3. Whether Screed Vibrators are used or not.

4. The slab panel width should be verified which should be less than the width of
Screed Vibrator or 4.5 meters, whichever is less.

5. The cubes of RMC to be cast by taking the mix directly from the transit mixer.

6. The re-handling of RMC is not allowed by using shovel and the same is to be
