3.3 General Issues: The progress is not as per programme. The major factors that hindered the progress of

works were:

1. Delay in obtaining statutory clearances for erection of plants and crushers from the

State Pollution Control Board, Mining and Geology Department and local bodies.

2. Unprecedented unseasonal rains affected adversely works in all the contract

Packages in the initial stages

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

local people.

4. Poor cash flow problems with the contractors at the initial stages

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

6. Frequent changes made in key personnel in some of the contracts by the

contractor

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 & V

9. Work Contract-III terminated. Balance works procured under two contract

(3A & 3B)

10. Delay in getting Environmental Clearance from Government Agency for

excavation and conveyance of earth from borrow area.

All these issues are now sorted out and the works are in progress now. The contractors

were instructed to speed up the works to show better results. Contract Package-III

terminated due to poor performance of the contractor and rearranged as IIIA and IIIB

and work in progress.

in Mile Stone III. Shifted up to date and 815 poles and some of the accessories are

received by the Contractor. Total 413 numbers of the trees have been cut till date 70 Nos

are balance. Contractor shifted 815 nos. of electric poles and 42 no. of transformer till

date.

4.11 Potential Issues The very poor cash flow of Contractor has seriously hampered the progress of works. No

improvement is observed in the progress of activities during the month also despite the

assurance given by the Contractor to Employer and CSC.

Lack of resources at site which reflected frequent change in planning of works at site,

There were delays in shifting of utilities. However Employer and the Contractors are

coordinating with various Service Providers like KSEB, KWA, BSNL and other service

providers for shifting of utilities and tree cutting along the project.

The Additional Chief Secretary, PWD has instructed complete the Project by 31.03.2017

Instructions are issued to the Contractor for taking stringent measures to enhance the

progress of works. Clause 15.1 Notice to Correct issued on 4.03.2016.

4.12 Payments to the Contractor Mobilization advance, Equipment advance and Interim payment Certificate for works

was paid to the Contractor amounting to Rs. 70.46 crores. Timely payments are released

to the contractor. The Steering Committee held on 28.06.2014 lowered the threshold limit

of minimum IPC amount for Rs. 1.5 crores from Rs. 3.00 crores to facilitate the cash flow of

contractor. There is no pending payment to contractor.

4.13 Implementation of EMP

4.13.0.1 Environment Management at work sites The progress of the work at site is unsatisfactory during the month. Contractor completed

19 km DBM and14km BC so far. Contractor has started another work front from CH 25 to

27km and culvert works and some road works completed, but drain works is pending.

Since the contractor was kept opened the construction fronts for long time without work,

the safety provisions at sites was also deteriorated. The environmental expert visited the

site on 26thth August and observations were communicated to the contractor for taking


action. The safety of construction site is a primary concern and requires further

improvement.

The drain connection and culvert connection remaining are to be completed. The

overlay works at Chandragiri bridge completed but the unsafe railing height is not

increased. The crash barriers are to be provided on the approaches and side road

connection to be improved. This was pending for a long time.

The junction improvement works at Kasergod town not completed. The culvert

construction at this junction is not started. Foot path and bus bays are also pending.

The drain work under the viaduct portion now completed but cover slab is to be provided

at hill bottom to avoid silting. Land scape and tree planting at this location has to be

started urgently.

The debris and cofferdam from the viaduct and Chithari bridge site is partially removed.

Though the contractor has been directed to take action to remove complete materials

15.9 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 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.

• A Court case is prevailing at High court of Kerala for providing smooth access road to

the adjacent land owners Shri. Padamanabhan Nadakkal, Shri. Bhaskaran Nadakkal

and Smt. Vineetha claimed that their access road has been disturbed due the grade

improvement (High Embankment) of the Road between Km.3+280 to Km.3+460 of the

planted. Further avenue plantation is very minimal as the ROW is fully utilized for road

construction. The balance quantities can be planted and this is continuing. The

environmental enhancement measures such as construction of parking bus bays noise

barriers oxbow land development have been taken up. The side of the deck has to be

provided safety hand rails for the free movement of workers on deck. Since the bridge

work site is in town area pedestrian safety was not sufficient and direction issued to the

contractor to provide maximum safety during construction time.

The junction improvement works at Pappinassery was not started. Some mangrove and

trees at this location are to be affecting the construction and hence to be removed.

19.7 Payments The contractor has been paid Rs. 105.58 crores


19.8.1.1 Environment Management at Project Ancillary Facilities The scarified materials and concrete waste materials are using for developing the HM

and Batching plant site. Contractor was also directed to improve the Road safety during

construction along the road .Wearing of PPE by the workers at bridge site is also insisted to

avoid any accident.

Considering the restricted space constrains, additional safety measures are taken and

the movement of trucks inside the HM plant site is to be regulated properly.

The construction safety provisions are not sufficient as the above project road is having

high traffic. Contractor has to provide additional boards, reflectors barricades delineator

posts and flagmen for traffic control. The safety at bridge sites are also to be increased.

Contractor has provided life jackets for workers working in platform for piling as the water

depth is more. The absence of environmental engineer is also contributed for the poor

performance on implementing safety requirements. Contractor was directed to improve

safety at all bridges site urgently. Contractor was not submitted the action taken report

on the site visit observation of the environmental expert hence notice was also issued in

this regard. Post of the environmental engineer is vacant and no substitute posted so far.

Government after detailed discussion with the Bank. Since savings in Bank Finance is

expected mainly due to difference in the Foreign Exchange Rate, there is need to

enhance the Bank Assistance to the Project from the present 56% to 63%, to cover up the

loan amount of US$ 216 million. The exchange rate considered in the Restructuring

proposal is INR 67 to US$ against INR 54 to US$ considered at the loan approval stage.
