traffic demand estimated is to be made on the basis of a model, the application of the
model in the similar situation with the validation of the results should be established. The
traffic projections should also bring out the possible impact of implementation of any
competing facility in the near future. The demand estimates should also take into
account the freight and passenger traffic along the major corridors that may interconnect
with the project. Impact of toll charges on the traffic estimates should be estimated.
5. The methodology for traffic demand estimates described in the preceding paragraphs is for
normal traffic only. In addition to the estimates for normal traffic, the Consultants shall
also work out the estimates for generated, induced and diverted traffic.

package.
i) The new proposed personnel as a replacement has to be evaluated as per the criteria fixed at
the time of evaluation of original proposal and marks/rating and then:
175
-If the original personnel (included in the original proposal based on which the contract was
awarded) is to be replaced at the instruction of NHAI and the new proposed personnel is
having less qualification/ experience i.e marks/rating (but fulfilling the minimum requirement
as per TOR), his remuneration would be reduced by 15% over and above the stipulated
conditions in the contract because of less qualified personnel
-If the original personnel (included in Contract Agreement) is to be replaced by the Consulting
firm and the new proposed personnel is having less qualification/ experience (marks/rating),
then his remuneration would be decreased proportionally in comparison to the marks of the
original personnel. This will also take into account the contract condition and if the proposed
reduction is less than that stipulated in contract condition, it would be as per the
contract provision.
It will be ensured that the new proposed personnel should score at least 75% of the marks of
the originally approved key personnel. Both the Consulting firm and the proposed personnel
should give the undertaking in the format available in Form VII of Appendix II along with the
replacement CV.
ii) The CV should be signed by personnel and the consulting firm in every page. If the CV is
found incorrect at later date, the personnel accepted would be removed from the assignment
and debarred from further NHAI works for an appropriate period to be decided by NHAI and
the new proposed personnel in place of removed personnel would be paid 15% less salary than
the original personnel. 15% reduction in the salary will be imposed as penalty for submitting
the incorrect information. This penalty will be imposed only once. If the same consulting firm
submits incorrect information again second time, necessary action will be taken by NHAI to
blacklist the firm.
