KD5 :Final Feasibility Consultancy Services for Preparation of Feasibility Report for Construction of Bridges including

Report including Schedules Approaches on Tamu – Kyigone – Kalewa Road Section from km 0.00 to km 149.70 in Myanmar

8. PROJECT COST ESTIMATE AND

IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

8.1 GENERAL
The cost estimates for the project are extremely important as its entire viability and
implementation depends on the project cost. Therefore, cost estimates and rate analysis of the
items have been carried out with due care. The project cost estimates have been prepared
considering various items of works and based on the rates calculated as per standard Data Book for
analysis of rates (MoRTH) and rates based on the Tamu Region (Myanmar) and Manipur (India)
Schedule of rates and prevailing market rates in the project vicinity.
8.2 ESTIMATION OF QUANTITIES
The quantities of major items of work for the Project road have been estimated on the basis of
Pavement design, geometric design and structural design as presented in drawing Volume IV of
the Project Report.
The quantities of the following major items of works has been estimated separately.
• Site Clearance
• Earth Works
• Granular Sub-base and Base Courses
• Bituminous Courses
• Bridges, Culverts and Retaining Walls etc.
• Kerbs, Drainage and Protective Works
• Road Furniture and Safety Works
• Traffic Management and Miscellaneous.
8.3 SITE CLEARANCE

Site clearance quantity is estimated, as overall area requires clearance for construction of road. It
includes the cutting of trees etc and reuse/re-fixing of usable material.
8.4 EARTH WORKS
Earthwork quantities are calculated using the “MX Roads” software package. The earthwork is
calculated based on the amount of cut or fill with respect to the datum line defined in the template
and the existing ground profile, which in turn is obtained from the DTM surface developed by the
software.The volumes of earthwork as well as materials have been calculated with the areas
obtained at 10m intervals.
8.5 PAVEMENT MATERIAL (FLEXIBLE)
The pavement work includes construction of proposed carriageway. The flexible pavement
includes Bituminous Concrete (BC), Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM), Wet Mix Macadam
(WMM), Granular Sub-base (GSB), Subgrade and other related items like prime coat and tack
coat etc. over road formation. The quantities of bituminous course are calculated for full width of
carriageway.
