WRITING THE INCEPTION REPORT

This checklist is providing guidance to evaluation managers, evaluation focal points, and
evaluation consultants. Not all evaluations require inception reports, but for complex and high-
budget projects, it ensures that the evaluator understands the Terms Of Reference (TOR). The
inception report is a means of ensuring mutual understanding of the consultant’s plan of action and
timeline for conducting the evaluation. It also provides additional guarantee of adherence to, and
interpretation of the TOR.

The Inception Report has been structured into thirteen chapters as follows –

Chapter 1. Introduction

Chapter 2. Project Appreciation

Alignment

An Alignment is defined by a series of points, lines and curves. In order to build a road, you
need to know exactly where it is located on the earth. Each point has a given coordinate northing
and easting that defines its location on the earth. Each line has a bearing and distance. Each
curve has a radius and length and several points that have coordinates that describe exactly
where that curve is located on the earth. Each line and curve must connect exactly on a shared
point, or be coincident. Otherwise, you have an error in your alignment. The alignment is defined
by stationing, which refers to the distance horizontally between the defining points. The
beginning stationing of an alignment is defined by previous designs, or by the designer. The
designer tries to make the stationing different for each alignment so that it does not confuse the
builder.

Horizontal Alignment is one of the most important features influencing the efficiency and
safety of a highway. A poor design will result in lower speeds and resultant reduction in highway
performance in terms of safety and comfort. In addition, it may increase the cost of vehicle
operations and lower the highway capacity. Horizontal Alignment design involves the
understanding on the design aspects such as design speed and the effect of horizontal curve on
the vehicles. The horizontal curve design elements include design of super elevation, extra
widening at horizontal curves, design of transition curve, and set back distance.

The Vertical Alignment of a road consists of gradients (straight lines in a vertical plane) and
vertical curves. The vertical alignment is usually drawn as a profile, which is a graph with
elevation as vertical axis and the horizontal distance along the centerline of the road as the
horizontal axis. Just as a circular curve is used to connect horizontal straight stretches of road,
vertical curves connect two gradients. When these two curves meet, they form either convex or
concave. The former is called a summit curve, while the latter is called a valley curve.
Feasibility Report (Read, Study and Preparing)

A feasibility report is a document that assesses potential solutions to the business problem or
opportunity, and determines which of these are viable for further analysis. Feasibility Study is an
assessment of the practicality of a proposed project or system.

It consists of the following:

Introduction – Introduces the study and cites the objectives and scope of the services.

Inventory of Road (Read, Study and Site Work Done)

This is a comprehensive survey, which can be used to study the profile of the roads in the
area of study. Features like Road/pavement widths, Road/pavement types, street lighting,
luminosity, drain types, encroachments, presence of vendors/street furniture, bus/auto stops
etc. can be studied and detailed resulting in the most accurate and detailed profiling of the
existing conditions.

Diligent and experienced team of professionals carries out Road Surveys. These surveys are
done to determine the condition of the pavement sub layers and the location of dangerous
voids. We also generate utility mapping to map the position and depth of all the utilities.

The expression Public Purpose is not to be strictly construed under Section 3(f) of Land
Acquisition Act, it is an inclusive definition of public purpose and from time to time the courts
have held different purposes to be Public Purpose. It is not possible to give an exact and all-
embracing definition of public purpose.

Public Purpose includes the following aims:


1. In which general interest of the community, or a section of the community, as opposed to the
particular interests of the individuals, is directly or vitally concerned;
2. Which would preserve or promote public health, comfort or safety of the public, or a section of
it, whether or not the individual members of public may make use of the property acquired;
3. Which would promote public interest, or tend to develop the natural resources of the state;
4. Which would enable department of the government to carry on its governmental functions;
5. Which would serve the public, or a section of it, with some necessarily or convenience of life,
which may be required by the public as such, provided that the public may enjoy such service as
of right; or
6. Which would enable individuals to carry on a business, in a manner in which it could not be
otherwise be done, if their success will indirectly enhance public welfare, even if the acquisition
is made by a private individual, and the public has no right to any service from him, or to enjoy
the property acquired; or
7. If the use to which the property would be put, is one of the widespread general public benefit
not involving any right on the part of the general public itself, to use the property or;
8. Which would result in an advantage to the public; it is not necessary that the property, or the
work upon it, should be available to the public as such; the acquisition may be in favour of
individuals, but, in furtherance of scheme of public utility, which would result in enhancement of
public welfare.
Land Acquisition By MoRTH(Ministry of Road Transportation and
Highways) Under National Highways Act:

Land required by MoRTH for National Highway projects is acquired under the provisions
contained in Section 3 of the National Highways (NH) Act 1956. The Right to Fair Compensation
and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013,
became applicable to the other related acts mentioned in the Fourth Schedule, including the NH
Act, 1956 w.e.f. 01.01.2015 in terms of Section 105(3) of the RFCTLARR Act of 2013.

The process of land acquisition:


Competent Authority for Land Acquisition (CALA) is defined under Section 3(a).

Under Section 3A, the Central Government may declare its intention to acquire land (defined
under Section 3(b)). This notification will give a brief description of the land and shall cause the
substance of the notification to be published in two local newspapers, one of which is in vernacular
language.

Section 3B gives the person authorized by the Central Government, authority to conduct
inspection, survey, measurement etc.

Any person who is interested in the land may within 21 days from the date of publication of the
notification under Section 3A, submit his objections under Section 3C. These objections have
to be made to the competent authority in writing and shall state the grounds thereof. After giving
a proper opportunity of being heard, competent authority may either allow or disallow the
objections.

Under Section 3D, if no objections have been made, or the objections have been disallowed; the
competent authority may submit a report to the Central Government and on receipt of such report
the government shall declare by notification in the official gazette that the land should be acquired
under Section 3A. Where in respect of a land, a notification has been published under Section
3A but no declaration has been published within 1 year from the date of publication, the
notification shall cease to have any effect.
Section 3E has vested the power in the competent authority to issue a notice in writing,
directing the owner as well as any other person who may be in possession of the land to surrender
or deliver possession of the land to the competent authority or any other authorized person within
60 days. It also lays down the steps to be followed if the same is refused.

Section 3F gives the lawful person authorized by the Central Government, authority to enter and
perform other necessary acts upon the land for carrying out the building, maintenance,
management or operation of the national highway or a part thereof, or any other work connected
with it.

Section 3G and 3H lay down the procedure for the determination and the deposit of the amount
of compensation payable.

Section 3I gives the competent authority certain powers of a civil court and Section 3J states
that Land Acquisition Act, 1894 shall not apply to the acquisition under this Act.

Date of determination of market value of land:


With reference to the first, second and third schedule of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013, the following
is clarified:
All cases which have not been announced under Section 3G of the NH Act till 31.12.2014 or where
such awards had been announced but compensation had not been paid in respect of the majority of
the land holdings under acquisition as on 31.12.2014, the compensation would be payable in
accordance with first schedule of the RFTCLARR Act, 2013.
In cases where the land acquisition process was initiated and the award for compensation under
Section 3G had been announced before 01.01.2015, but the full amount was not deposited with the
CALA, the compensation amount would be determined in accordance with the first schedule of
the RFTCLARR Act, 2013.
Where the process stood complete as on or before 31.12.2014, the process would be deemed to be
completed and settled.

12% on market value:


The proviso of Section 26 of the RFCTLARR Act stipulates that the date for the determination of
the market value shall be the date of notification issued under Section 11 of the Act, which is
corresponding to Section 3A of the NH Act. Similarly, Section 69(2) of the RFCTLARR Act also
stipulates that an additional amount has to be calculated @12% on such market value for the period
commencing on and from the date of publication of the preliminary notification under Section 11
in respect of such land to the date of the award of the collector or the date of taking
possession of the land, whichever is earlier. As the NH Act is exempt from the Social Impact
Assessment, it is by harmonious reading of all related provisions that the calculation of such
amount shall be made w.e.f the date of publication of the notification under Section 3A of the NH
Act.
Furthermore, the pronouncements of the courts on payment of compensation under Section
23(1A), 23(2) and 28 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, in respect of land acquired under the NH
Act r/w Section 105(3) of the RFCTLARR, show that payment of amount of 12% of the market
value of land from the date of publication under Section 3A till the announcement of the award
under Section 3G or taking possession of land (whichever is earlier) is payable.

PMIS (Project Monitoring Information System)
A Project Monitoring Information System (PMIS) is the coherent organization of the information
required for an organization (MoRTH and NHAI) to execute projects successfully. A PMIS is
typically one or more software applications and a methodical process for collecting and using
project information. These electronic systems "help to plan, execute, and close project
management goals." PMIS systems differ in scope, design and features depending upon an
organization’s operational requirements.
The project management information system, which is part of the environmental factors, provides
access to tools, such as a scheduling tool, a work authorization system, a configuration
management system, an information collection and distribution system, or interfaces to other
online automated systems. Automated gathering and reporting on Key Performance Indicators
(KPI) can be part of this system.
A PMIS Software supports all Project management knowledge areas such as Integration
Management, Project Scope Management, Project Time Management, Project Cost Management,
Project Quality Management, Project Human Resource Management, Project Communications
Management, Project Risk Management, Project Procurement Management, and Project
Stakeholder Management.
A PMIS Software is a multi-user application, and can be cloud based or hosted on-premises.

NOTE: - We both have done the process by feeding the information of Land
Acquisition process (from 3(a) to 3D) to the final Government Digital Records
of Jodhpur Bharatmala Project through PMIS.
Tendering and Documentation (Read, Study and Prepare)

Tender usually refers to the process whereby governments invite bids for large projects that must
be submitted within a finite deadline. Tendering is the process of making an offer, bid or proposal,
or expressing interest in response to an invitation or request for tender. Organizations will seek
other businesses to respond to a particular need, such as the supply of goods and services, and will
select an offer or tender that meets their needs and provides the best value for money. Tender
request documents; also referred to as invitations to tender, Requests for Tender (RTF), Requests
for Proposal (RFP) etc. outline what is required, that is, what the requesting organization’s needs
are. These documents also outline the particular requirements, criteria, and instructions that are to
be followed. Future tenders are generally widely advertised to offer opportunities to a number of
suppliers, encourage competition and provide a greater pool of offers to select from.
The Documents which are included during the complete tender process are:
• Proof Of Eligibility
• Eligibility Forms
• Technical Proposal
• EMD (Earnest Money Deposit)
• Demand Draft
• Financial Proposal
• Self-Evaluation

Google Earth Pro
Google Earth is a computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on
satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial
photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from
various angles. Users can explore the globe by entering addresses and coordinates, or by using a
keyboard or mouse. The program can also be downloaded on a smartphone or tablet, using a touch
screen or stylus to navigate. Users may use the program to add their own data using Keyhole
Markup Language and upload them through various sources, such as forums or blogs. Google
Earth is able to show various kinds of images overlaid on the surface of the earth and is also a Web
Map Service client.

In addition to Earth navigation, Google Earth provides a series of other tools through the desktop
application. Additional globes for the Moon and Mars are available, as well as a tool for viewing
the night sky. A flight simulator game is also included. Other features allow users to view photos
from various places uploaded to Panoramio, information provided by Wikipedia on some
locations, and Street View imagery. The web-based version of Google Earth also includes
Voyager, a feature that periodically adds in-program tours, often presented by scientists and
documentarians.

Google Earth has been viewed by some as a threat to privacy and national security, leading to the
program being banned in multiple countries. Some countries have requested that certain areas be
obscured in Google's satellite images, usually areas containing military facilities.

Conclusion
We as students are very lucky and privileged to have very supportive and caring mentors and
faculty who always guide us in every challenging situation of our project. With their care and
support we were able to show who we are and what can we become and prove this world.
During our whole internship we were able to execute our skills and knowledge wherever it was
required. Also, we learnt many new things during our internship tenure in the field of
Highways, Expressways and its supervision. Since, we worked in consultancy firm we were
assigned various works in the field of consultancy which included works like Preparation of
Inception Report and QAP Report, Stages of Project, Request for Proposal, Study of IRCs,
Feasibility Study, Alignment (Horizontal & Vertical), Land Acquisition & PMIS (Project
Monitoring Information System), Tendering and Documentation, Design of Typical Cross
Section and Google Earth Pro. The Basic material which we used to study was various types
of IRCs like IRC-SP:87-2013, IRC-58-2011, IRC-SP:62-2014, IRC-SP:69-2011. After
learning this all we are very confident enough to showcase our skills to any organization we
go in future.
