1 Project Requirements
Pune is the second largest city in the Indian state of Maharashtra after Mumbai and the
ninth most populous city in the country with a population of 3.12 Million (2011 census)
and area of 243.8 km2.
The Rivers Mula Mutha pass through Pune City. The total length of River Mula, River
Mutha, and River Mula Mutha in PMC jurisdiction is 48 km. Discharge of partially treated
or untreated municipal sewage into the water bodies (natural drains, lakes and rivers), is
leading to increased level of pollution. Increasing water use by the growing population as
well as that for economic development has led to increase in sewage volume, ultimately
increasing its discharge into the water bodies.
The total sewage treatment capacity of the existing functional sewage treatment plants
(STPs) is 477 MLD, while generated sewage volume at present is estimated at 728 MLD.
Sewage Generation volume in 2027 is estimated to be 873 MLD in assumptions of a
high annual population growth ratio of 2.5%. Therefore, it is urgent for the Pune
Municipal Corporation (PMC) to provide expansion/ augmentation of the existing
sewerage facilities including sewage collection systems, intermediate pump stations and
sewage treatment plants. River Mula-Mutha catchment in Pune has been identified as a
polluted river by National River Conservation Directorate (NRCD) of Ministry of
Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India.
The construction works has been divided into 13 Contract Packages (3 packages for
sewer and 7 packages for STP and IPS, one package for community toilet facility,

In addition to the structural test of structures as applicable, the liquid retaining structures
shall also be tested for water tightness test at full supply level as described in clauses
12.1,12.1.1, 12.1.2 and 12.1.3 of latest version of IS 3370 (Part I).
On completion of the structure and before its commissioning, the Contractor shall carry
out a water tightness test for the maximum water head condition i.e. with the water
standing at Full Supply Level (FSL). This test shall be carried out preferably in dry
season and prior to internal lining in accordance with the procedure given below:
The water tightness test shall be carried out when the construction of liquid retaining
structure is done and when it is possible to fill the structure and ensure that uniform
settlement of the structure as a whole or as directed by the Engineer. Before the filling
operations are started the structure shall be inspected by the Engineer and the
Contractor's Representative and the condition of surfaces of walls, contraction joints
shall be noted and it shall be ensured that the jointing material filled in the joint is in
position and all openings are closed. The Contractor shall make necessary arrangement
for ventilation and lighting of the structure by way of floodlights, circulators etc. for
carrying out proper inspection of the surfaces and inner conditions if so desired by the
Engineer. Records of leakages starting at different levels of water in the reservoir, if any,
shall be kept.
The liquid retaining structure once filled shall be allowed to remain so for a period of
seven days before any readings of drop in water level are recorded. The level of the
water shall be recorded against the subsequent intervals of 24 hours over a period of
seven days. The total drop in surface level over a period of seven days shall be taken as
an indication of the water tightness of the structure, which for all practical purposes shall
not exceed 40 mm. Also there shall be no indications of the leakages around the opening
or on the walls.
If the structure does not satisfy the condition of test and the daily drop in water level is
decreasing, the period of test may be extended for a further period of seven days and it
the specified limit is then reached the structure may be considered as satisfactory.
The external faces of structure shall not show any signs of leakage and shall remain
apparently dry over the period of observation of seven days after allowing a seven day
period for absorption after filling.
In case the drop in level exceeds the permissible level limit and signs of leakage with the
stipulated period of test, the Contractor shall carry out such additional works and adopt
such measures as may be directed by the Engineer to reduce the leakage within the
permissible limits. The entire rectification work that shall be carried out in this connection
shall be at the Contractor's cost. The water required for subsequent testing shall be
supplied to the Contractor free of cost, if the same is available near the site. Contractor
shall have to make arrangement for filling emptying the structure at his own cost.
If the test results are unsatisfactory, the Contractor shall ascertain the cause and make
all necessary repairs and repeat the water retaining structures test procedures, at his
own cost. Should the re-test results still be unsatisfactory after the repairs, the structure
will be condemned and the Contractor will dismantle and reconstruct the structure, to the
original specification, at his own cost.
During testing and during defect liability period the impression marks created due to
seepage shall be rectified and made good.
No separate payment shall be made for water tightness test and the cost thereof shall
deem to be covered in the rates quoted of different items of work of Treatment Plant.

Completion shall be similar to the procedures for the Tests on Completion of Design-
Build described in Volume 2 Part 9, including sampling and analysis, developed to
include new elements of the Works added since the Tests on Completion of Design-Build
were carried out and modified to include procedures and methods appropriate at the end
of the Operation Service Period.
The inspections, tests, monitoring and analysis shall be witnessed by persons nominated
by the Engineer.
The Tests Prior to Contract Completion shall be deemed to have been completed when
the Works have been operated without breakdown of any item of Plant for a continuous
period of one month and compliance with all the criteria stated above has been
demonstrated to the Engineer‘s satisfaction and the results of the tests have been
submitted to the Engineer as stated below.
The Contractor shall be responsible for any remedial measures necessary to achieve the
above criteria.
It is a requirement of the Contract that all Plant and Material shall be suitable for ongoing
use to the benefit of the Employer at the conclusion of the Operation Service Period.
Accordingly, they shall comply with the residual life requirements. This shall be assessed
by the Engineer by reference to the Works condition and where relevant to the history of
its performance, breakdown, maintenance etc.
Where residual life expectancy does not meet the Contract requirements the Employer
shall have the option to deduct monies from the final payment due to the Contractor or
seek damages in lieu of the Plant being replaced.
Inspection of the Works for the purposes of assessing the residual life of the Works shall
be part of the Tests Prior to Contract Completion.
The Works shall be transferred to the Employer at the date stated in the Contract
Completion Certificate in accordance with Conditions of Contract.
Shortly before Handback of the Works the Contractor and the Engineer shall carry out a
final joint survey of the Works. A schedule of minor defects shall be compiled by the
Contractor and submitted to the Engineer. Upon the Engineer being satisfied regarding
such final inspection, and subject to the Contractor having successfully completed the
Tests Prior to Contract Completion, the Engineer shall issue to the Employer and the
Contractor a Contract Completion Certificate stating any minor works remaining to be
completed. The Employer shall thereafter be responsible for the care, safety, operation,
servicing and maintenance of the Works.
The Contractor shall provide formal training and hands-on experience to the Employer‘s
operators as required by Volume 2 Part 10 during the last twelve months of the
Operation Service Period.

2. Mitigation Measures
(1) Water Quality Monitoring
1) Water quality Measurement 1 for 11 STPs in monthly basis and after operation (Water
quality of inflow sewage to STP, water quality after treatment at STP)
Parameters: Water Temperature, pH value(H+), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), ―Biochemical
Oxygen Demand (BOD)3, ―Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)‖, Total Suspended Solids
(TSS)‖, Ammonia (NH3), Total Nitrogen(T-N), Total Kjeldahl Nitorgen, Nitrates (NO3-N),
Nitrites (NO2-N), Total Phosphorus (T-P), Coliforms, Air Temperature.
2) Water Quality Measurement for Public Water Body in Monthly basis before and after
operation (2 points for Mula River, 2 points for Mutha River,1 Point for Mula-Mutha River
and 4 Nallas)
Parameters: Water Temperature, pH value(H+), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), ―Biochemical
Oxygen Demand (BOD)3, ―Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)‖, Total Suspended Solids
(TSS)‖, Ammonia (NH3), Total Nitrogen(T-N), Total Kjeldahl Nitorgen, Nitrates (NO3-N),
Nitrites (NO2-N), Total Phosphorus (T-P), Coliforms, Air Temperature
(2) Waste
Amount of treated sludge at 11 STPs
STPs
Notes: Parameters: Volatile Solids(VS), Moisture Contents, Cadmium(Cd), Arsenic (As),
Nickel(Ni), Lead(Pb), Mercury(Hg), Chromium (Cr), Selenium (Se), Flourine (F),
Cyanogen(CN), Total Nitrogen(T-N), Nitrates(NO3-N), Nitrites(NO2-N), Total Phosphorus (T-P)
(4) Noise/Vibration
1) Noise Level
*Maximum allowable noise level as shown in the monitoring plan for construction stage
2) Handling on resident‘s complaints
