work progress in the early stages

3. Resistance in identifying, erecting and operating crushers and quarry from the

local people.

4. Poor cashflow problems with the contractors.

5. Shortage of machinery, labour force in most of the contracts.

6. Frequent changes needed in key personnel in some of the contracts

7. Migrant labours working in all packages and labourers not available during

festival season for long duration.

8. Lack of planning and managerial issues in contracts I, II, III & V

issues 1 to 3 were beyond the control of the contractors, and by now, all the

clearances have been obtained and the problems are sorted out. The contractors were

instructed to speed up the works during working season to show better results.

However the contractor for Package III is still not in a position to speed up the works as

anticipated.

In view of the adverse weather conditions due to continuous rainy season upto

end November 2014, and other reasons explained above, the contractors were not able to

complete the works in milestone-1 for Packages 1,2 and 3 and this also will affect the

time schedule for milestones-II and III. It has been requested by the contractors to

extend the time limits.

The Steering Committee has recommended extension for milestones I, II & III for

Packages 1 and 2. Also the time of completion for milestone – 1 for Package-3 was

proposed to the Council of Ministers. Accordingly the Council of Ministers endorsed the

recommendations of Steering Committee. The extended time limit for Milestone-I for

Package-3 was upto 31.12.2015. However the contractor could not complete the works

in Milestone-1 with in this date. Stringent action against the contractor are being taken.

5.8 Potential Issues • Lack of experienced staff at site which reflected in planning of works at site, delay in

preparing Mix designs, delay in submission of working cross sections, in preparation

of survey data etc.

• The work suffered due to shortage of aggregate, cement, steel etc.,

• The approval for General Arrangement Drawing of ROB@Km7+240 (Thavam) has

been obtained from Railway. Now tree cutting permission for the trees lying in railway

land has been sought by KSTP and the permission is awaited from Railway for which

employer is liaisoning with the Railway Personals.

• RoB work slow due to non diversion of entire traffic.

• The contractor has established one quarry, crusher and HM Plant for contract I and

II. The aggregate production is not sufficient to meet the requirement of both

packages. Only one crusher for both Package I & II

• Poor cash flow of contractor.

• Equipment and shortage of labourers

• The monthly targets as per revised work program are not achieved by the contractor. Strict instructions issued to contractor to accelerate work program and achieve targets.

are to be provided to all workers as necessary. Instructions were given to provide

adequate safety sign boards and fencing all along the active work sites. The safety

arrangements at ROB locations are very poor and to be improved. The traffic at these

locations is to be fully diverted during construction. The deviation road to be urgently

repaired to divert traffic to close to ROB.

The safety measures adopted by the contractor were not satisfactory and due to non-

compliance, RE has imposed of damages as per sub clause 17-2 of part B specific

Rs. 21,64,43541/-. Up to IPC-4. The Steering Committee decided to lower the threshold

limit of minimum IPC amount for Rs. 1.50 crore from Rs. 3.00 crores. Timely payments

were made to the contractor.

6.10 Implementation of EMP Instead of establishing the quarry and crusher, the contractor has leased out two quarry

and crusher for the supply of raw materials required for the project. The details of these

facilities were not reported to the CSC. The contractor has established a base camp near

Chavassery where the construction camp, labour camp, and construction plant site were

established.

6.11 Compliance with Statutory Clearances The action taken by Contractor for complying with statutory requirements is summarized below:

Compliance with Statutory Requirements

Unit Status of Compliance Remarks Crusher and quarry

Three existing quarry and crusher were identified for the supply of materials required for the project.

Documents to show the details of the quarry and crushers, the agreement with them, the valid Consent to Operate obtained by them etc. were not furnished.

Obtained Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate from Kerala State Pollution Control Board

Date of Issue of Consent to Operate-09.04.2014 and Valid Upto 31.03.2016

6.12 Environment Management at Work Sites The Environmental Engineer of CSC visited the project site on21st January 2015 and

reviewed the measures taken by the Contractor for implementing the mitigation

measures proposed in the EMP. Instructions were given to avoid accumulation of debris

along the project site and to remove the debris from the site periodically. Regular

sprinkling of water at active work phase and maintenance of proper records of water

sprinkling are to be carried out. The environmental management at construction sites

like Drain, Bridgework sites to be improved. It is also noted that waste from pile driving

is not disposed properly. Notices were issued.


As the measures adopted by the Contractor for implementing EMP is not satisfactory,

Environmental Engineer recommended for imposing penalty as per contract agreement.

Resident Engineer has imposed of penalty that is 10% of the interim payment certificate

will be withheld from next IPC as per sub clause 14.6 of part B specific provision. The

stock height of the vent pipe of the DG set at HM plant to be increased and proper

geosite enclosures to be provided.

6.13 Traffic Management and Road Safety Measures The Contractor has provided safety precautions such as flags, safety signboards, traffic

cones and safety tapes at the work site. The Contractor is also required to provide

personal safety equipment to his workers such as jackets, safety shoes, face shields, and

hand gloves as appropriate to the nature of their work. The workers at various locations

were not generally using personal safety equipments. Traffic and road safety measures

adopted by the contractor have to be improved further. Procurement of sign boards,

delineators and blinkers are not provided at site. The big pot holes at construction sites

are hazards to the traffic. This has to be rectified urgently.

The safety measures adopted by the contractor were not satisfactory and due to non-

compliance, RE has imposed of damages as per sub clause 17-2 of part B specific

provision for various locations. It is noticed that road excavation was also started in

some locations without establishing WMM and HM plants. No road excavation will be

allowed before establishment of WMM and HM plant. Roads are opened for long time

for contractor but they could not start DBM, WMM works. The performance of contractor

is very poor.

It is reminded that as per the tecbnical bid submission during the tender stage you have givenassurance ( in writing ) that a new WMM plart will be puchased in case of award of contractfiom M/s Dhruvi Road Equipment. Later you have informed that you have identified a 160 TpH$'I4M plant identified and formalities with vendor are in progress (ref 4). This has nothappened and after lapse of about 18 months now you have tied up with M/s Carmelconstuctions fot erection of WMM plant. In the meeting convened by the project Director ref(5) you have assured that N4ls SACyR-Essar JV will co-ordinate with the agency that installedthe WMM plant and ensure the quality ofthe project deliverables.

specification requhements and the WMM being mixed without plant is not acceptabl€ in any

manner. Also there is no justification for using non approved nuterials in the work. Hence as

instructed by the Resident Etrgineer you are directed to remove the defective material from site

Materials with good quality as per the Contract Specification and approved by the Engineer'
