The stipulated date of start of work was 02-11-2015 and stipulated date of completion of design and Build (1095 days) work was 31-10-2018 and from this date alone, quite a number of times, the extension requested by the firm M/S L&T Construction has been allowed and given. The last extension was granted by the Superintending Engineer PIU Pali wide letter No. RUIDP/PIU/Pali/2020/ 2476 dated 01-10- 2020. It is also pertinent to mention the request from the firm M/S L&T Construction vide their letter No LTCD/ISW-PALI/WET/WW/CPR/2020- 21/2676 dated 01-10-2020 in which the firm have not proposed the final date of completion which is not appropriate because it is the firm who has to inform the employer by which date they intend to complete the work. 2. In the opinion of the undersigned, the firm will not be able to complete the work by 30-04-2021 unless the firm takes effective and earnest measures to complete the work by the extended completion date i.e. 30-04-2021. 3. In whole site visit, it has been found that there is not an iota of effective and earnest effort of the firm M/S L&T Construction to complete the work in agreed extended date. It has been found that various allied works are pending due to non-availability of material viz. inspection chambers, manholes, HSC Pipes, DI pipe specials, electro-mechanical items of SPS. This shows clear negligence and laches on the part of contractor M/S L&T constructions. 4. Itis opined that if any further time extension is allowed or agreed, it must be at the mutually agreed date and this date must be fully abide by M/S L&T Construction in full letter and spirit. Pali site visit report Page 15. The ongoing work of SPS at Sarvodaya Nagar was visited and it has been found that the progress of the work is quite poor. RCC work was in progress. Also the boundary wall construction was in progress, wherein it has been found that the quality of construction was quite poor. Poor quality work of RR masonry was being done wherein the mortar quality was quite poor and the joints of the masonry were widely spaced and the stones were loosely placed. The directions were given to complete the work in qualitative and time bound manner and all approval and procurement of Electro-mechanical equipment’s must be ensured at the earliest. It is also pertinent to mention that the Pumping main from SPS Sarvodaya Nagar to SBI Chourarha, DI K-7 pipe 250mm dia has not been procured yet by the firm M/S L&T constructions for which displeasure was shown and it shows laches and negligence on the part of the firm. 6. The finishing work of CRMC/ CCC buildings were in progress and direction were given to complete these works at the earliest. 7. There have been major gaps, laches and negligence on the part of M/S L&T Constructions in restoring the road cuts for which there has been many news in the local newspapers and local administrations and representative has raised serious concerns as revealed in the discussions with PIU officials. 8. The ongoing road restoration works in Bapu nagar Vistar inspected and found that the work was not as per specification despite the presence of quality engineer and site engineer of M/S L&T constructions. Directions were given to correct the work as per the terms of the contract. 9. The issue of variation of inspection chambers was raised by project manager of the firm. He stressed that there would be additional requirement of 8000 more inspection chambers from the approved SIP. It was revealed during discussion that about 52000 thousand water connections are there in the town, and the same may be construed for house sewer connection. There are about 8000 house sewer connections in UIDSSMT works for which the works of HSC was entrusted to Municipal Council Pali who in turn are executing the work through M/S Tata Construction Company out of which work of 5500 connections have been completed. Therefore, there remains only 44000 connections and there are already 44691 connections in the SIP and the progress as submitted by PIU is for 42719 connections. Therefore, it is strange that the project manager is demanding variation of additional 8000 n chambers. The Employer representative, SE and EE PIU must look into this matter and ensure that the work be got completed in extended completion date i.e. 30-04-2021. If further requirement is required, the same shall be fulfilled mostly by IC of smaller size i.e. 300 mm dia and depth 450mm wherever practicable, elsewhere depth of outlet house is more, IC of Pali site visit report Page 2size dia 450mm and depth 600 mm may be used for ensuring the timely completion. 10. It has been observed that at various locations levels of manholes/Inspection chambers are not matching with road levels causing inconvenience to public. It was, directed to Project Manager L&T to prepare complete list of manholes/Inspection chambers in excel sheet showing level w.r.to road level. Project manager assured to submit the list of 10000 manholes survey report by 08.03.2021 & balance by 12.03.2021. The rectification work shall be taken up from 05.03.2021 and shall be completed before 20.03.2021 positively. 11. It was deliberated by L&T that quantities of MS specials of 7.80 MT taken in BOQ has already been exhausted.
