The identified black spots tabulated in the above are located in the
stretch of NH 49Extn between Madurai to Cochin. Lot of accidents (mostly the
head on collisions) have been taking place at this stretch due to overtaking of
vehicles on junctions. This causing loss of lot of human life. Therefore the
rectification of this Black Spot points as per standards is absolutely necessary
to save the human life in the stretch at Km 91/2 (Salaikaliyamman Junction) ,

c) Design for Widening Portions.

The flexible pavement is designed as three layer system as per IRC37-
2012. The bituminous layer is assumed to have 40 mm thick BC and 105 mm
thick DBM with VG40 bitumen. The granular layer is assumed to have 250 mm
thick WMM and 200 mm thick GSB. The assumed section is checked for the
limiting horizontal tensile at the bottom of the bituminous layer and vertical
compressive strain at the top of the sub grade.

NH Circle with Bitumen and emulsion rates as on 16.06.2021 and as per
Common Data is adopted in this estimate and the estimate in finalized for an
amount of Rs.809.24 Lakhs.
The Ministry has instructed to include the utility charges in the estimate
based on sub estimate from the concerned utility agency. But in the need of
rectifying the black spots immediately LS provisions for utility shifting is
proposed in the estimate since getting estimate from concerned utility agency
will take longer time and hence rectification of black spots will be delayed. In
this context it is requested to permit for including utility charges as LS
provision in the estimates especially for estimates for rectification of black
spots. It is assured that the approval of RO for the estimate from the concerned
utility agency will be obtained in the period tendering process and issuance of
LOA and entrust the same to the contractor to the original work.
Target completion time of this work is 12 months.

f) Design for Widening Portions.

The flexible pavement is designed as three layer system as per IRC37-
2012. The bituminous layer is assumed to have 40 mm thick BC and 105 mm
thick DBM with VG40 bitumen. The granular layer is assumed to have 250 mm
thick WMM and 200 mm thick GSB. The assumed section is checked for the
limiting horizontal tensile at the bottom of the bituminous layer and vertical
compressive strain at the top of the sub grade.

Rates:

Approved common data for the year 2020-2021 pertaining to Madurai

NH Circle with Bitumen and emulsion rates as on 16.06.2021 and as per
Common Data is adopted in this estimate and the estimate in finalized for an
amount of Rs Lakhs.
The Ministry has instructed to include the utility charges in the estimate
based on sub estimate from the concerned utility agency. But in the need of
rectifying the black spots immediately LS provisions for utility shifting is
proposed in the estimate since getting estimate from concerned utility agency
will take longer time and hence rectification of black spots will be delayed. In
this context it is requested to permit for including utility charges as LS
provision in the estimates especially for estimates for rectification of black
spots. It is assured that the approval of RO for the estimate from the concerned
utility agency will be obtained in the period tendering process and issuance of
LOA and entrust the same to the contractor to the original work.
Target completion time of this work is 12 months.
Rates:

The original estimate has been prepared with the common data for the
year 2020-21 pertaining to Madurai NH Circle with bitumen rate of 16.06.2021
and the estimate is finalized for an amount of Rs. Lakhs.
Requesting orders whether that technical, administrative and financial
sanction of the Ministry for the above work amounting to Rs. Lakhs may
please be requested and orders communicated early.
