A. Road Works

Basic Approach and General Conditions for the Preparation

of Standard Data Book
The basic approach for the preparation of Standard Data Book for Road Works is indicated as under:
Description

1.

of Items

The description of items is given briefly and linked with the relevant clause of the MoRT&H
Specifications for Road and Bridge Works, which may be referred for detailed description, provisions.
and interpretation ..

2.

Mechanical

Means

Due to mechanization of construction work, rate analysis for various items have been prepared
using mechanical means. However, manual means have also been provldedforcertain

cases,

where areas maybe inaccessible for machines or quantum of work may not be large enough to
justify use of machines.
3.

Overhead

Charges

The overhead charges include the following elements :

i. Site accommodation,
arrangements.

selling up plant, access road, water supply, electricity and general site

ii. Office fumiture, equipment and communications

iii. Expenditure on
a)
b)

Corporate office of contractor

Site supervision

c)

Documentation and "as builr draWings

w. Mobilisation/de-mobilisation

of resources

v. Labour camps with minimum amenities and transportation to work sites

vi. Light vehicles for site supervision including administrative and managerial requirements
vii. Laboratory equipment and quality control including field and laboratory testing

viii. Minor T&P and survey instruments and setting out works, including verification
dimensions, trial pits and bore holes, where reqUired

of line,

ix. watch and ward

x.

Traffic management during construction

xi. Expenditure on safeguardiJ19 environment

xii. Sundries
xiii. Anancing Expenditure
xiv. saleslTum over tax

>N. Work Insurance/compensation

3.1.

4.

For the purpose of calCulation of overhead charges, the projects are categorized into 2 types
as under and overhead charges, provided as indicated against each.
Category 1: Cost up to Rs. 50 crores

10 percent

Category 2: Cost above Rs. 50 crores

8 percent

Contractor Profit:

10 per cent of cost of works

Contractor profit is also added on overhead charges.

5.

Basic Inputs
Basic inputs are only given in the standard data book. The rates for material and labour are to be
obtained from local authorities for thlil area where the project is located.

6.

Plants and EqUipment

6.1.

A dozer is proposed for excavation where cutting and filling for the roadway is within 100 m. For
longer leads, a combination of hydraulic excavator and tipper is proposed.

6.2.

Keeping in view the job and managerial factors and thlil aglil factor of machines, the output of plant
and lilquipment is taken approximately 70 per cent of thlil rated capacity given by manufacture
under ideal conditions.

----_.

6.3.

It has been assumed

lhat a water tanl(er

would make

one trip

per hour on an average. Water

charges have flOt'beert inQIUdedfor items Where the Rlquirement is very nominal. It is assumed
that the same would be covered under sundries.

6.4.

Output of plant/equipment

6.5.

The usage charges for machines include ownership charges, cost of repair and maintenance

is considered for the compacted quantities.

including replacement of lyres and running and operating charges which includes crew, fuel and
lubricants.

7.

Materials

7.1.

Quantities of materialsgivenin

the rate analysis are approximate for the purpose of estimating

and include normal wastages. ActUal consumption would have to be based on mix design.
7.2.

7.3.

'. The rates fo material shoukBnclude basic costat locations of stone crushers, loading, unloading,
cost fo carriage and stacking at plant sites as the case may be.
The alternative proposal for curshingown aggregate by installing Crusher should be compared
with procurement of crushed aggregates from the market and proposal found economical may be
adopted.

7.4.

The specifications of materials shall be govemed by section 1000 of MoRT&H Specifications for
Road and Bridge Works.

8.

Labour

8.1.

The labour wages should be as per rates fixed by state government.

8.2.

One mate 'has been provided for 25 labours.

8.3.

Skilled labour include mason, carpenter, blacksmith, mechanics and other trades.

9.

Carriage
