(c) The Officer undertaking the Peer Review shall be required to certify that he was not associated with the preparation of DPR/with the Consultants who had prepared the DPR.
(d) Not more than two DPR packages will be awarded to one person at a time for Peer Review. This will be ensured by Member (Tech) through coordination meeting with concerned CGMs.
(e) But for Major bridges/flyovers more than 60 m. length and ROB/RUBs (which are proposed to be proof checked separately through some other agency), all other aspects of the DPR will be covered by the Peer Review.
(f) Remuneration for peer review shall be as decided by NHAI from time to time.
3.9 Scope of Peer Review of Draft FS Report Broad scope of Peer Review of feasibility study report and detailed project report is at Enclosure-1 attached at the end of the Chapter. 3.10 Procedure for scrutiny and acceptance of Feasibility Study Report (FS) and Detailed Project Report (DPR) by NHAI in case of Public Funded projects
3.10.1 Scrutiny
3.10.1.1 As mentioned earlier, the design consultant shall be fully responsible for the accuracy of the data, details, designs and drawings etc. as contained in FS and DPR and these documents are got reviewed from a Peer Consultant (wherever required). The FS and DPR shall however, also be scrutinized in NHAI before their acceptance. The objective of scrutiny of the DPR etc in NHAI is to see that the DPR generally meets the requirements of the Terms of Reference, there is no glaring mistake with regard to design standards and the quality of the project preparation is maintained.
3.10.1.2 Considering the lean and thin structure of the organization it may not be feasible to carry out in-house detailed examination of the detailed project report (including feasibility study report, preliminary project report and other details) prepared by the consultant. However important aspects of the DPR need to be taken into account during scrutiny in NHAI. An indicative checklist of these important aspects is prescribed below. During presentation by the design consultant (as per Para 3.10.2 below), these aspects may specifically be raised for which the Design Consultant and/or the Peer Review Consultant shall have taken affirmative action. Random checking of important details may also be carried out, if considered necessary. In case of deficiency the DPR shall be modified accordingly by the Design Consultant. (a) The consultant has furnished all the reports/documents as per the TOR.
(b) The Consultant has collected, compiled and analyzed the available data on road & bridge inventory, bridge condition survey, past performance of road, right of way details, hydrological characteristics of drainage system, terrain characteristics, socio-economic features of the Project influence area.
(c) Traffic Survey locations are fixed in such a manner that representative traffic data are obtained.
(d) Indicative Design standards, methodologies and specifications conform to relevant codal provisions/guidelines.
(e) Preliminary Widening Scheme, proposal for bypass including suggested alternate alignments are based on thorough ground reconnaiss nce and meet the prescribed design standards.
(f) Assessment of borrow areas/quarries has been done after extensive survey and careful considerations.
(g) Environmental & social screening data has been collected diligently to avoid hassles during implementation.
(h) Cost estimates are realistic and based on market rates, State PWD rates, rates of similar ongoing projects etc.
(i) Parameters of financial and economic analysis have been adopted conforming to implementation strategy of the Project.
(j) Hydraulic design parameters are based on correct data and field survey. Sub-soil investigation for design of structures, sub-grade soil and material investigations for design of pavements should be accurate and reliable and in sufficient detail.
(k) Correct details of all physical features and obstructions, structures, railway lines, canal/river crossing, water mains, sewers, gas/oil pipes, trees, plantations, electric and telecommunication lines etc. which affect the proposal are marked to an accuracy/tolerance consistent with their likely interference.
(l) Utilities relocation plans are prepared in consultation with the authorities concerned.
(m) The drawings are capable of execution at site without additional instructions or changes.
(n) The pavement design takes into account the characteristics of material to be used and the traffic forecast has been made appropriately.
(o) Drawings for ROBs/RUBs is based on clearance by and approval of concerned Railway authorities.
(p) In case of bridges, the final design is based on approval of General Arrangement Drawing (GAD) and alignment plan by NHAI, to be given after consideration of alternatives bringing out their cost effectiveness and ease of construction.
(q) The description of items in Bill of Quantities is consistent with the drawings and specifications, and all should lend themselves to harmonious and unambiguous interpretation. (r) Besides the quantities of various items of work, BOQ also give the quantities of major materials like, cement, steel and bitumen likely to be required for the work in order to arrive at their reliable percentages, required to be given in the Price Adjustment Formula.
(s) The requirements of road safety have been taken care of. (t) The Consultant had local consultations to identify the needs/expectations of the people regarding,
underpasses/realignment etc. keeping in view the codal requirements).
(u) Drawings, BOQ and Technical Specifications are compatible. 3.10.2 Acceptance
3.10.2.1 In case no Peer Review of DPR is carried out The DPR including the feasibility study report etc shall be scrutinized in NHAI as per the procedure prescribed above. If any deficiency is discovered, the proposal shall be returned to the consultants for necessary modification. Design consultant may be required to give a presentation about different aspects of the reports. A record of discussion of the meeting will be prepared. The feasibility study report and DPR will accordingly be accepted in NHAI at the level of CGM. 3.10.2.2 In case Peer Review is carried out
(a) The observations of the Peer Consultant on the draft feasibility study report will be reviewed in NHAI and forwarded to the Design Consultant, with modification, if any. The Design Consultant will incorporate these modifications and submit the final feasibility report (FS) to NHAI. This report will be examined by the Peer Consultant and
(d) Not more than two DPR packages will be awarded to one person at a time for Peer Review. This will be ensured by Member (Tech) through coordination meeting with concerned CGMs.
(e) But for Major bridges/flyovers more than 60 m. length and ROB/RUBs (which are proposed to be proof checked separately through some other agency), all other aspects of the DPR will be covered by the Peer Review.
