O R D E R:

In G.O.1st read above orders were issued for adoption of the Revised and
updated Standard data in all Engineering / Public works Department and other
organizations in four parts considering the nature of works, location of work and
magnitude of work as indicated below:

Part I - Irrigation & Commandant Area Development

Part II - Roads & Bridges
Part III - Buildings
Part IV - Drinking Water Supply Scheme.

2. In the reference 2nd read above, the Builders Association of India, Telangana
State has requested the Government to consider for adoption of new SSR with
MoRTH Data in R & B Department.

3. In reference 3rd read above, a Committee of E-in-Cs / CEs was constituted for
analysing the issue and the said committee has submitted its report with following
observations:

a) The MoRTH Specifications are evolved after elaborate discussions

with Highway Engineers from all over the Country and in consonance
with IRC guidelines. IRC is the apex technical body for the Highway
Engineers.
b) IRC codes, MoRTH specifications are required to be adopted for
construction and maintenance of Roads and Bridges so as to be in
alignment with Central Ministry’s guidelines
c) Adoption of different Standard Data for State funded works and
Central funded works in the same dept. would result in non uniform
practice giving scope for litigations, audit objections, claims etc.

4. The Committee of Engineers-in-Chief/Chief Engineers has recommended to

continue adoption of MoRTH Standard Data in toto for road and bridge works taken
up on all R&B roads in Telangana State and to adopt latest Standard Schedule of
Rates on par with other engineering departments in order to provide the realistic
rates in the preparation of estimates.

5. Subsequently, in view of formation of new State of Telangana and also

keeping in view the unique requirements of Panchayat Raj, R & B, Irrigation, Public
Health Departments etc., including Government of India funding norms, it became
imperative to review the entire issue of SSR rates and the matter was further
referred to the Board of Chief Engineers.

6. In his letter 4th read above, the E-in-C (R&B), Admn. & Q.C. has furnished the
minutes of the meeting of Board of Chief Engineers, which met on 14-11-2014.
7. The Board of Chief Engineers has observed that adoption of MoRTH Data for
all R & B works in Telangana State is necessary for the following reasons:-
a) The MoRTH specifications are evolved after elaborate discussions
with High way Engineers from all over the Country and in consonance
with IRC guidelines. IRC is the apex technical body for the Highway
Engineers.
b) IRC codes, MoRTH specifications are required to be adopted for
construction and maintenance for Roads and bridges so as to be in
alignment with central ministries guidelines.
c) Roads in the State are inter transferable due to up gradation
requirement i.e. roads laid by PR department, I & CAD department are
usually transferred to R & B dept. for future up-gradation, maintenance
based on specific Government orders.
d) All the Major States are implementing the MoRTH data.
e) MoRTH is being updated every year.
f) Most of the Central Government organizations are also implementing
MoRTH data.
8. Finally, the Board of Chief Engineers have unanimously recommended the
adoption of MoRTH data by all Engineering Departments of Telangana State in
respect of Road and Bridge works, with prevailing SS Rates, in preparation of
estimates. Accordingly, Part II of Common Standard Schedule of Rates, will be
made applicable for the entire engineering departments in respect of Roads &
Bridge works.

9. Government, after careful examination of the matter, hereby accept the

recommendations of the Board of Chief Engineers for adoption of MoRTH data by
all Engineering Departments of Telangana State in respect of Road and Bridge
works, with prevailing SS Rates, in preparation of estimates and also to apply Part II
of Common SS Rates, for the entire engineering departments in respect of Roads &
Bridge works, in relaxation of the Government orders issued in G.O.Ms.No.49, I &
CAD (PW Reforms) Dept., Dt.2-3-2009.

10. The Engineer-in-Chief (R&B), Administration & Quality Control is requested

to take necessary further action in the matter.

11. These orders shall come into force from the date of issue.
