During review with the 3rd Party Quality Control Organizations, the following
omissions on part of the field Engineers (Executive Engineers/Superintending
Engineers / Chief Engineers) has come to the notice of the Government.
2. The mix designs of concrete obtained from the laboratories are not being
approved by the Superintending Engineers or Chief Engineers. They may be
approved by the Superintending Engineers / Chief Engineers before adopting in the
works.
4. The agreements provide for weigh batching for cement concrete and mortar.
At many places batching scales are not in use. Weight batches converted volumetric
boxes are being sed. This may be discontinued and concrete and mortar are to be
strictly as per weight batching only.
5. The cement and steel have to be got tested invariably for each stock brought
to work site and test reports are to be made available during inspection also.
7. It is also observed that, the rock excavation is being done using blasting
materials. This is resulting in over breakages and rock Projections in the required
canal profile. This results in higher values of rougocity co-efficient (’n’ value), which
in turn affects velocity of flow in the canal. The Superintending Engineers / Chief
Engineers are requested to ensure that all the Projections of rock are cut smoothly
and the over breaks beyond permissible limits, if any, be got lined with masonery at
the cost of the agency as per specifications requirements.

*****
During regular reviews with the 3rd Party Quality Control Organizations,
Government with an intention of achieving and maintaining highest standards of
quality in works undertaken in different projects, further issues following instructions
1. Quality Management Plan (QMP):
It has been observed that EPC Agencies have not submitted proper quality
management plans. They have to also deploy quality management staff. All
Chief Engineers / Superintending Engineers must insist for QMP and report
compliance. The concerned Superintending Engineers should see that all
agencies deploy the quality management staff as per agreement within next
two weeks and obtain their particulars. If they are not deployed as per
agreement, it may be notified to the agencies proposing suitable recovery
from work bills.
2. Superintending Engineers shall invariably conduct fortnightly management
meetings with EPC Agency along with 3rd party QA / QC Agencies and
departmental officials and discuss in detail the quality assurance aspects. The
minutes of such meetings shall be sent by SE to the undersigned without fail.
3. Laboratories set up by EPC Agencies:
EPC Agencies executing the work have to establish the laboratory facilities
and provide testing equipments as per standards and as provided in the
codes. The detailed instructions were already reiterated in the Government
Memo No.5217 /Reforms / 06 dated 23.2.2006.
The situation on ground has been reviewed in detail and feedback of 3 rd party
quality assurance agencies was taken. It has been reported that while a
number of agencies have set up these labs, for certain packages, EPC
agencies have failed to set up labs. This should not be allowed and
Superintending Engineers must ensure immediate action for setting up such
labs, which should have required capabilities as per specifications prescribed
already by the Government.

Memo.No.19017/ Reforms/07, Dt: 13-7-2007
*****
Maintenance of strict quality standards is most important in execution of
Irrigation projects. Government has been continuously emphasizing for the same at
every stage. Several instructions have been issued relating to requirement to be
fulfilled by EPC Agencies, third party quality control agency and the departmental
officials. Periodical reviews are being conducted at the government level also.
Following observations in this regard are made for immediate action by all
concerned.
1. It has been observed that the instructions of the Government
to conduct fortnightly review-cum-coordination meeting by the SEZ along
with EPC Agency, third party quality control agency and other field staff is not
being conducted regularly and effectively by some of the Superintending
Engineers. It is being contemplated to initiate regular disciplinary
proceedings against the defaulting Superintending Engineers. Hence, the
Superintending Engineers should immediately rectify the situation wherever
necessary. Chief Engineer (P) should immediately review this in their
respective areas and send a report to the Government by 20 th July without
fail.
2. In important projects additional works have been given to
the existing EPC agency in the light of certain policy decisions of the
government regarding increase in discharge, storage capacity of reservoir
etc. It is logical and natural that the third party quality control agency
attached with the original package should continue to monitor the additional
works in the same package to ensure there is no gap in maintenance of
quality. However, the issue of settling the supplementary agreement and
payment due to the third party quality control needs to be settled quickly.
This issue may be taken up for discussion and arriving at some decision in the
next meeting of the state level standard committee held every Monday.
3. It has also been observed that the Chief Engineers and
Superintending Engineers are not showing a sense of urgency in finalizing the
third party quality control agency while they take steps to call for tenders for
new packages and reaching the agreement with the new EPC agency
following due process. Engineer-in-Chief, Irrigation is requested to review
the position immediately in respect of all the projects and ensure that urgent
actions are taken by the project engineers to finalise quality control agencies
without any further delay. Any delay caused in this regard shall be viewed
seriously and responsibility shall be fixed upon the project engineers who are
found to be negligent as maintenance of quality is of paramount importance.
Engineer-in-Chief, Irrigation is requested take this issue as one of the agenda
item in all state level standing committee meeting in order to ensure that
there is no gap anywhere In all the projects. Guidelines were already issued
to EPC agency to ensure adequate laboratory and required technical
personnel for conducting tests and maintenance of quality. All Superintending
Engineers should give specific report on such arrangements. The third party
quality control agency should also send a report. In case any EPC agency is
found to be negligent in this regard, the payment for their packages may be
stopped. Similarly the Chief Engineer (P) should also take stock of the
laboratories set up by the third party quality control agencies and get the
shortcoming, if any, rectified.
A specific report should be submitted on compliance of above
instructions by all the Chief Engineers and E-N-C (Irrigation) by 23 rd July 2007
without fail.

It is observed that in certain cases payments in the EPC contracts are not
being regulated as per agreement conditions. All payments to contractors have to be
regulated as per the schedule of payments. Schedule of payments stipulates the
percentage of the bid price that each component has. Accordingly, to Superintending
Engineer concerned must extrapolate the total amount payable in Rupees for a
particular component, from this total amount payable for a component. From this
total amount payable for component of work, the unit rate shall be worked out. This
unit rate shall determine the amounts to be paid to the Contractor by way of
intermediate payment.
It is also observed that several officials are under the impression that there is
no need to regulate the intermediate payments because these are only intermediate
payments and not final payments. It is further opined that because certain
percentage is being deducted in the bills this will safe guard any excess payment
made. However, it is clarified the intermediate payments have to be regulated as per
the method detailed above and mere deductions are not a safeguard.
It is also instructed that SEs must ensure that required quality standards are
strictly achieved before making payments. It is reiterated that payment shall be
made only after the specifications as per agreements are achieved.

During series of discussions held during June and July 2004 on EPC contract
documents, it was decided that Price adjustment has to be allowed only for three
items viz., Cement, Steel and Fuels. But in some of the agreements and bid
documents, the Superintending Engineers and Chief Engineers are making provisions
for Price adjustment on other items like labour, copper and Aluminum etc. this is
against the decisions taken during the earlier meetings. The Chief Engineers and
Superintending Engineers are, therefore, requested not to include Price adjustment

has to execute an exist channel of 100m length from the end point of tunnel. As the
work is proposed to be carried out by TBM, is requested by the agency that 100m is
not sufficient to locate and housing the TBM, and other equipment and as such they
wanted as additional length of 500m of feeder canal which is under the scope of
Package-II. The Package-II works are being executed by M/s Jaiprakash – Gayatri
(JV) on EPC Turn Key system vide agreement No.3 VGP / 04-05 for an amount of
Rs.254.50 Cr at a discount of 4.48% over IBM value.

scope of Package-II duly deducting the corresponding amount of Rs.3,58,64,644/-
and limiting the original agreement to Rs.250,91,35,356/- and it is proposed to
entrust above deleted work to M/s Sabir-Sew Prasad (JV) as an additional item under

3. This issue was placed before the Committee constituted in G.O.Ms.No.121,
I&CAD (PW-COD) Dept., dt.15-10-2004. The Committee examined the above issue
and recommended to obtain the consent letters from both the EPC Contractors of

obtained the consent letters from the Agencies and requested to issue necessary
orders delete the work of feeder canal from Km.0.00 to Km.0.500 from the scope of
Package-II and entrust the same as an additional item to Package-I of Veligonda

The Chief Engineer, North Coast in the letter cited has brought to the notice
of Government that as per Clause 42.1 of the Agreement “in respect of CM&CD
works (structures), the intermediate payments will be in 3 stages i.e., (a) completion
of foundations including earth work (b) completion of substructure; and (c)
completion of super structure including miscellaneous items; that the mode of
payment will be 30% after completion of foundation, 30% after completion of
substructure and balance 40% after completion of individual structure”. Completion
of foundations includes earth works, sub-structure and super-structure (slab) of CM
& CD works are to be done by the Agency within three months of grounding of CM &
CD works, but completion of miscellaneous items like bed pitching, Revetment, canal
lining takes 8 to 12 months in order to allow the banks for residual settlement.
Thus, the payment of 3rd stage 40% is being held up for 8 to 12 months in view of
non-completion of miscellaneous items. It is stated by the Chief Engineer that
therefore financial progress could not be achieved on par with physical progress.
2. The State Level Standing Committee in its meeting held on 15.10.2007, after
examining the issue has recommended to Government to approve the amendment
towards release of 30% payment against 40% in the 3 rd stage of the Agreement
after completion of deck slab of the structure (CM & CD works) and remaining 10%
to be released after completion of the structure in full shape for all EPC turn key
system works and that the same procedure may also be followed in other similar
packages. However, the Committee has recommended that the Chief Engineers are
at liberty to withhold more than 10%, if they feel that the 10% withheld amount is
not sufficient to complete the miscellaneous items.
4. This order issues with the concurrence of Finance (W&P) Department vide
