The Chairman observed that the procurement process
based on original PC-I / Request for Proposal (RFP) was not
accomplished instead a new process based on alternate bid of M/s
CGGC has been initiated without comparison. The Member (Planning)
narrated that the original PC-I was prepared based on field study /
data collected by local consultants in 2010. Prior the submission of
previous bid the Chinese contractors team along with the officers
from NHA carried a detailed site visit. The Chinese team after the site
visit changed the quantities. The amended PC-I is prepared on the
agreed cost, which was arrived upon after seeking detailed
clarifications from the bidder.

5.6.
The VP-NESPAK enquired if the present bidding
procedure is covered under the PPRA Rules. The Member (Planning)
explained that the bidding process is very much in line with PPRA
Rules. NIT (Notice for Inviting Tenders) was published in international
newspapers and uploaded on NHA & PPRA websites and clarification
has been carried out as required by PPRA.
However, during
clarification meeting M/s CGGC agreed to include balance works of
four bridges in the scope of work without additional cost.
5.7.
The VP-NESPAK asked whether sizes of culverts / bridges
have been decided, if not, it may create a dispute at later stage. The
GM (P&CA) replied that sizes are not yet fixed as being EPC contract;
the contractor will design the project. However, the Member (Planning)
added that NHA and Contractor are going to agree on a cost of works
and design prepared by Contractor will be implemented after approval
of NHA. NHA has made utmost efforts to submit a viable proposal by
considering all relevant factors.
5.8.
The VP-NESPAK observed that estimates and their
comparison with bid cost are based on CSR-2013, which is not yet
applied. The Member (Planning) explained that CSR-2013 will become
effective from April 1, 2014 and the project will be implemented
thereafter. The VP-NESPAK further desired that quantity factor be
seen carefully particularly in slide prone areas. The Member
(Planning) explained that it is an EPC contract and once it is awarded
the contractor has to keep the road trafficable till maintenance period.
The GM (P&CA) further informed that, extra bridges are given on river
for safe & secure bypassing the slide prone areas. The Member
(Planning) added that precautionary measures for safety of roads
should be the responsibility of the Contractor.
5.9.
The Chief (T&C) asked about the reasons of higher
thickness of water bound macadam in shoulders as compared to
pavement structures. The GM (Design) explained that material used in
existing shoulders is of inferior quality and it needs replacement
therefore, higher thickness of water bound macadam in shoulders is
required to bring it at the level of pavement. The Member (Planning)
added that such standard shoulders are provided to ensure safe
commuting and better life of the road.

5.10.
The Chief (T&C) observed that variation in cost of
earthwork is more than 50%, which is the major component of overall
increase in cost of the project. The Member (Planning) explained that
terrain of the project is such that even a minor change in road
alignment requires cutting of mighty overhung rocks resulting in huge
quantity of earthwork. Moreover, the GM (Design) added that the
bidder in this case is a foreign contractor and instead of NHA CSR,
has worked out project cost in the light of international perspective.
5.11.
The Chairman observed that when scope of work in 1st
and 2nd advertisement was same, cost enhancement in amended PC-1
needs to be clarified. The VP-NESPAK supported the said point of view
and added that it appears that the cost is on higher side because of
foreign funding. The cost would have been much lesser than the
assessment by foreign donor, if the project be carried out through
PSDP.
5.12.
The Additional Secretary (Finance) asked about the
vetting of financial assessment and allocation of loan. The Member
(Planning) explained that the project cost is based on the offer of
bidder. However, loan will be processed & singed by Economic Affairs
Division after clearance of PC-I by the competent forum. The Member
(Planning), on the query of Additional Secretary (Finance) in this
regard, confirmed that EAD/ECNEC are in knowledge of this project.
5.13.
The Chief (T&C) suggested that it should be clarified that
this contract is based on EPC with comparison of rates particularly in
earthwork cost and items. The IG (NH&MP) suggested that such
proposals be examined by technical experts from the Board two or
three days prior to the meeting to have a consensus of the Board. The
Chairman NHA supported the suggestion and requested the Chief
(T&C) & VP-NESPAK to examine the case and instructed the Member
(Planning) to depute GM (P&CA) for presenting case to respective
Members of the Board.
5.14.
As directed by the Executive Board, a meeting was held in
the Planning Wing where a very elaborate and detailed discussion took
place. The VP-NESPAK re-iterated his observation which he had made
during the Executive Board meeting. The question of earthwork
quantities, the increase in cost on account of the same were

233rd Meeting, March 20, 2014, Islamabad

deliberated in detail and necessary documents were shared with the


Board Member. The complete extent of work done by NHA and the
Chinese Contractor M/s CGGC was shown to the Board Member who
was satisfied with the details provided; however, he desired that PC-I
should include comparison of cost that if the same project is executed
by GoP with its own resources, what would be the cost difference.
NHA agreed that PC-I shall include this comparison. The VP-NESPAK
further desired that the contract should include various binding
requirements at specific locations, similar to the addendum signed in
CRBC case. The Member was assured that the contract which is now
in draft form shall include the same.
5.15.
Subsequently, the same was discussed with Chief (T&C)
who also supported the point of view and desired that justification of
increase in cost be made part of amended PC-I, and cleared it to be
forwarded to CDWP / ECNEC for consideration.
Decision
5.16.
The Executive Board recommended the amended PC-I for
improvement & widening of Jaglot-Skardu Road, S-1 (163.821 Km)
amounting to Rs 43,787.40 million including FE component of USD

NHA Executive Boards Confirmed Minutes

Deliberation
6.2.

The General Manager (Design) presented the case.

6.3.
The VP-NESPAK enquired whether this case of extension
in contract is covered under PPRA Rules. The GM (Design) explained
that the Consultant is working in NHA before promulgation of PPRA
Rules and it is an extension in running contract and not a fresh case.
The Joint Secretary (MoC) opined that it is a kind of appointment of a
firm and should be covered under PPRA Rules. The Member (Planning)
informed that PPRA Rules deals with fresh procurements only and not
extensions. He added that Mr Iqbal Haq has a very high professional
expertise having Doctorate in the Structural Engineering, his
contributions through review of various designs prepared by different
consultancy firms resulted in huge savings. The GM (Design) stressed
that the firm is essentially required in the interest of public works and
it would be difficult to find his replacement keeping in view the dearth
of structural engineers in Pakistan due to brain drain.
6.4.
The VP-NESPAK suggested that the case for extension in
contract be got approved from the Principal Accounting Officer. The
Chief (T&C) observed that there was obvious gap in chain of command
between Team Leader / Head and the lower tier staff. There should be
2 x persons i.e. one Engineer and one Senior Supervising Officer,
which was agreed. The Chairman viewed that we may clear the
proposal subject to clarification from PPRA regarding applicability of
PPRA Rules in contract extension cases. The VP-NESPAK also
supported this version.
6.5.
The Board after detailed deliberations agreed with the
proposal subject to fulfillment of all the pre-requisites delineated in
PPRA Rules.
Decision
6.6
The Executive Board deferred the proposal and desired
clearance of above observations, clarification / NOC from PPRA and
subsequent submission to the Board for decision.
