SECTION - III

TERMS OF REFERENCE /SCOPE OF WORKIt is proposed to conduct 125LKM, 2-D HRSS surveys in the Godavari valley of Andhra Pradesh State and Nagaur and Barmer Lignite fields of Rajasthan State. The proposed areas are listed here.

1. Khagau block, Barmer lignite Basin-51LKM, (Map in page 46).2. Nagaur Lignite Basin,Rajasthan-18LKM, (Map page 47).3. Chokhla South Block, Rajasthan-25LKM, (Map page 48).4. Venkatapuram in Mulugu Coal Belt A.P.-18LKM, (Map in page 44).5. Dorli-Bellampalli Coal Belt, A.P.-13LKM, (Map in page 45).

1. DRILLING OF SHOT HOLES

It is proposed to get shot holes drilled in the areas of Godavari valley coal fields of Andhra Pradesh and Nagur, Jodhpur and Barmer Lignite fields of Rajasthan state, to obtain CDP 2-D seismic data. The total length of lines to be covered is about 125 LKM and shot holes are to be drilled at every 10m interval and around 15 to 20m depth. In total about 12,500 shot holes are to be drilled during the course of work. For carrying out the work, a clear 4 inch dia vertical hole is required for blasting operations. About 100 – 120 shot holes need to be drilled per day. If it is required the driller has to drill deeper hole for uphole survey (depth 60-100 metres). Payment will be made as per metreage. The depth will be measured at the time of loading explosives. However the bidder may quote per hole/per metre basis in case of upholes.

The drilled shot hole should be clear, so that explosives can be loaded without any difficulty. In case of necessity bentonite mud / casing should be used while drilling to avoid collapsing of shot holes. A representative of NGRI field party will check the depth of each shot hole at the time of the loading explosives. If the required depth is not available the shot hole may be rejected. Even blasted holes, which are rejected for whatever is the reason, shall not entail any claim for payment.

At the time of blasting / recording operations the contractor’s men should remain still and should not create any noise. The drilling crew should be always 1Km away from the shot hole towards the forward directions during the shooting operations. Once the shooting is started no one is allowed to move along the profile. The drilling should also be stopped during shooting /data acquisition operations.

The shot holes may be cased if need arises and bidder shall meet the cost of the casing whenever required. The holes will have to be completely filled with bentonite mud (Slurry) to avoid collapsing. Bentonite / casing shall be provided by the contractor at his own cost.

Single holes are used for each shot and in any case variation in the drilled depth should not exceed ± 0.5 m for the given depth. The depth of shot hole will be the depth in metres to which the bottom of the charge is lowered for firing. For calculating depth to the shot hole, the fractions of metre will be rounded off to the nearest metre (i.e. 0.1 - 0.4 metre are to be ignored and 0.5 metre & above will be considered as one metre). Payment will be

14

made on actual metreage drilled and not by number of holes. However the number of holes with such dimensions should not exceed 10 % of the total number of holes.

In the matters regarding acceptance of metreage drilled the decision of the Party Chief or his representative shall be final and binding on the contractor.

Bidder should inspect the proposed survey area and understand the local geology of the area (before submitting the bid) for deploying the proper drilling rigs and for cost estimate.

Bidder has to make his own arrangements like suitable drilling equipment, labour, drilling crew, bentonite, water, water tankers, electric power, any other repairs, camping etc.

Any compensation arising out of crop losses, land acquisition, any other losses during the drilling and blasting operations and other services should be borne by Bidder only.

2. SEISMIC JOB SERVICES

(Laying of Geophone cables, planting of Geophones, connecting Geophones to cables, storage of Geophones and Seismic cables, providing communication sets (at least useful cell phones), power supply, water, skilled / semi skilled workers, Licensed shot firer and crew, Accommodation, Transportation of field persons, Transport to NGRI officials etc. and also attending to other liaison works whenever needed during the course of work).

2.1 It is proposed to shoot about 100 - 120 shot holes every day. Thus spread preparation requires laying of seismic cables along the lines, planting of geophones and connecting to the cable at predetermined points (every 10/5 meter spacing with geophones evenly distributed along the line in this interval). This includes transportation, positioning, connecting of cables etc. for required number of channels on every working day. Laying cables and planting and connecting geophones for experimental work / Uphole /LVL survey and regular data acquisition work should always be completed by a time specified by Party Chief of Engineering Geophysics Group, NGRI, who will be sole authority in this regard. Besides this, services must also be provided for any repair work whether in field or at campsite for repair of geophone cables and geophones and other misc. jobs as decided by Party Chief of Engineering geophysics Group, NGRI. NGRI will provide sufficient number of seismic cables of 10/5 m. take out Interval of 100m. length Cable and also 10 string Geophones to connect each cable for the above mentioned work.

2.2 Cable laying planting and connecting Geophones should be kept ready by the time the field crew of NGRI reaches the field spot. As part of this work the personnel will have to use walkie-talkies (either wire line or Radio communication) for communication with central recording unit and it is bidder’s responsibility to procure and provide them to NGRI personnel and other staff.

2.3.Any claim towards compensation or disputes during the course of work will have to be settled by the bidder. NGRI will not be responsible in any way for any claim or compensation in respect of the field work operations including laying and winding of cables / planting, connecting of geophones / checking polarities and removing geophones / transportation and use of explosives or any other field activity resulting in injury / damage accident / death of the
