The decision of the competent authority on period of extension of time or refusal for extension of time shall be final and binding on the contractor. Grant of Extension of Time without Applications:
7.3.1 There are, at times, practical difficulties like non-availability of materials, delay in providing permissions/right of way etc, reasons of which are ascribable to the BSNL. In such cases, the Engineer-in-charge with the approval of competent authority to sanction EOT, may issue
extension of time sue motto without waiting for contractor to make an application for EOT. Entry of hindrances shall be made in the Hindrance Register. The BSNL will, however not be liable to the contractor for any losses or damages, costs, charges, or expenses that the contractor may in any way sustain/suffer due to delay in making the above available. 7.3.2 The contractor shall not be justified in abandoning the contract because the BSNL has delayed making payments in respect of other work being done for the BSNL by the contractor. 8. 8.1 8.1.1 MEASUREMENT, INSPECTION, TESTING AND ACCEPTANCE TESTING: Measurement: The measurement books are to be maintained by the officer in-charge of the work or his immediate engineering subordinate not below the rank of Junior Telecom Officer. The entry shall be made in ink. No entry shall be erased. If a mistake is made, it should be corrected by crossing out the incorrect words or figures and inserting the corrections, the corrections thus made shall be initialed & dated by the officer concerned. Responsibility of taking and recording measurements: The Contractor shall give not less than seven days notice in writing to the Engineer-in-charge or his subordinate in charge of the work before covering up or otherwise placing beyond reach of measurements any work in order that the same may be measured & correct dimensions thereof be taken before the same is so covered up or placed beyond the reach of measurement and shall not cover up & place beyond reach of measurement, any work without the consent in writing of the Engineer-in-charge or his subordinate in charge of the work. The Engineer-in-charge or his subordinate in charge of the work shall within aforesaid period of seven days inspect the work, and if any work shall be covered up or placed beyond the reach of measurement without such notice having been given or the Engineer-in-charge's consent being obtained, the same shall be uncovered at the Contractors expense, or in default thereof no payment or allowance shall be made for such work or the materials with which the same was executed. The measurement of various items of work shall be taken and recorded in the measurement book issued with each work order. The measurement shall be taken and recorded by an officer not below the rank of Junior Telecom Officer, supervising the work. The Junior Telecom Officer/Sub Divisional Engineer, directly responsible for supervision of work, shall be responsible for accuracy of 100% of measurements. The Sub Divisional Engineer where Junior Telecom Officer is supervising officer shall be responsible for conducting test check of 50% of measurements. The Divisional Engineer shall be responsible for conducting test check of 10% of measurements. If contractor executing without or away from marking and not following the instructions of site engineer such work shall not be recorded in the measurement book and no payment shall be made for such work. The Junior Telecom Officer & Contractor/his authorized representative will certify under their signature the appropriate places in the measurement book that the depth of trench & alignment is as per specification. After this certification, the pipe laying is to start. After HDPE Pipe laying is over the Junior Telecom officer has to again certify that the HDPE
8.1.2 (a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Pipe/PLB Blowing Type/pre-installed rope laying has been done according to specification. The trench will then be reinstated and final recording of completion of work in that portion is to be certified under the joint signatures of the Junior Telecom officer and the Contractor or his authorized representative. (Contractor has to communicate in writing to the Divisional Engineer the name and other details of the supervisor authorized by him if Contractor himself is not signing the measurement book.) However, the Contractor will have to countersign the measurement and recordings relating to the period for which he prefers the bill.
8.1.3
Method of recording of nomenclature of items: Complete nomenclature of items, as given in the agreement need not be reproduced in the measurement book for recording the measurements but corresponding Item Code as provided, shall be used. Method of measurements: The measurement of the work shall be done for activity wise as and when the item of work is ready for measurement. The methods of measurements of various items are enumerated as under: Measurement of depth of trenches The cable routes of one work order shall be divided into a number of segments each of maximum 200 meters length bounded by identifiable landmarks at both the ends of the segments. If landmarks are not available, length of segment may be maintained at 200 meters. The measurement of depth shall be recorded at each point of measurement (POM) in the measurement book in meters in the multiples of 5 cms. For example 97 cms will recorded as 95 cms And 103 cms as 105 cms. The points of measurements shall be at a distance of 10 meters starting from 0 (Zero) Meter, For example, if the length of segment is 75 meters, the POM shall be at 0 M. 10 M, 20 M, 30 M, 40 M, 50 M, 60 M, 70 M. The last POM shall be at 75th M to be recorded against Residual POM. Payment shall be made to contractor for a full section 200 meters only i.e. if HDPE/GI/RCC Pipes laying, rope pulling, refilling of trench and fixing and concreting of Route Indicators is complete in all respect. Incomplete or unfinished sections will be recorded in MB, but payment shall be released only when section is certified to be complete in all respect by the site in charge. If water drain or road gutter encountered along the road the depth shall be measured from the top surface of the water drain or road gutter. However, payment will not be made for the undue portion in the water drain or road gutter. The efforts required to excavate trenches is not proportionate especially with reference to depth. Therefore, normally the workers tend to dig shallow trenches. As standard depth of the trench is important for future life and protection Cables, this tendency has to be discouraged. In order to encourage the contractor to achieve best possible depth in the face of site constraints, the following scale of payment shall be applied for digging trenches of lesser depths, subjects to condition that relaxation has been granted by the competent authority for lesser depths. Depth between <165 Cms. to 150Cms. <150 Cms. to 130Cms. <130 Cms. to 100 Cms Below 100 Cms. Reduction in rate 5% 12.5% of approved rates. 25% of approved rates. 40% of approved rates
8.1.4
If the area is predominantly rocky or full of hindrances or there is difficulty in getting permissions from PWD or local agencies involved resulting in difficulty to achieve full depth or for full section/route, it is suggested to call for tenders for curtailed depth of 140/120 cms. of trench. The rate reduction schedule is given below: -
DEPTH OF TRENCH 140 cms. Depth between <140 Cms. to 125 Cms. <125 Cms. to 105 Cms. Below 105 Cms. DEPTH OF TRENCH 120 cms. Depth between <120 Cms. To 105 Cms. Below 105 Cms. Reduction in rate 5% 40% of approved rates Reduction in rate 5% 15% of approved rates. 40% of approved rates
The payment for subnormal depth will be calculated as per formulae given below:P= (100-ROR)xRAxD/ND P = Payment for one meter ROR = Reduction in rate in % as given above RA = Approved rate of trenching per meter D = Actual depth in cms. ND = Nominal depth of trench 165/140/120 cms. for which the tender has been floated. Measurement of Lengths and profiles of strata and protection: - The measurements of length of trenches are on running meter basis, irrespective of type of soil encountered while digging. The type of protection provided (item code-wise) in a segment shall be recorded in the measurement book in the sheet provided for this purpose. Measurement of length Cable: - The length Cables laid in trenches, through pipes and through ducts shall be measured by use of RODO Meter/Measuring Tape. The length should be cross verified with the marking of lengths on the cables. The lengths shall be recorded in sheet provided in the measurement book. Measurement of other items: - The measurement/numerical details of other items shall be recorded in the sheets provided for respective items viz. Digging of joint pit and preparation of joint chambers along with its type i.e. Brick chamber or Pre Cast RCC type. Fixing, Painting and sign writing of route/joint indicators. Termination Cable in equipment room and no. of joints.
8.1.5
The contractor shall sign all the measurement recorded in the measurement book. The contractor, of measurement recorded in the MB, will consider this as an acceptance. In case contractor fails to attend at the measurements or fails to countersign or to record the difference with in a week, than in any such events the measurements taken by Engineer-in-charge or by the subordinate as the case may be shall be final and binding on the contractor and the contractor shall have no right to dispute the same. The divisional Engineer before passing the bill for sections covered by each set of measurement may carry out test check by re-opening trench at as many locations as necessary as specified in document procedures for underground cable construction and bills will be passed only when he is personally satisfied of the correctness of entries in the measurement Book and also when he is satisfied of other aspects of the work as per the terms of the contract. The contractor shall provide the necessary assistance of labour for reopening of trench for test check by the Divisional Engineer. Separate payment shall not be made to the contractor for excavation of such test checks, however such test pits shall not be more than 10% of the cable laying work.
8.1.6
8.1.7
Measurement of the work Cable pulling through pipe/duct will be taken equal to the length of the pipe/duct through which the cable has been pulled and not the total length of the cable pulled through pipe/duct. Inspection and Quality Control: The Quality of Works: The importance of quality of Cable Construction works cannot be overemphasized. The quality and availability of long distance media and efficiency of the reliable media connectivity to exchanges depends up on quality of laying of Cable. Further, the cables are vulnerable to damages due to work of other agencies. The quality Cable Plant depends upon the quality of individual items of work involved viz Depth Cables laid, care while paying & laying, Protection, Jointing Cables and Terminations in equipment room and at last but not the least on documentation Cable network. In order to ensure quality in Cable Construction Work, each component of work needs attention. The works shall be carried out strictly in accordance with specifications laid down to achieve the requisite quality aim. It is imperative that the contractor(s) is/are fully conversant with the construction practices and shall be fully equipped to carry out the work in accordance with the specifications. The contractors are expected and bound to ensure quality in construction works in accordance with specifications laid down. The contractor shall engage adequate and experienced supervisors to ensure that works are carried out as per specifications and with due diligence and in a professional manner. The contractors shall satisfy himself/themselves that the work conforms to the quality specifications before offering the same to A.T. Wing for Acceptance and Testing. An assessment of extent of interest shown by the contractors in executing the works with requisite quality shall be recorded and used in evaluating the Contractors Performance Rating (CPR). In addition to acceptance Testing being carried out by A.T. Wing and supervision by Construction Officers, all works at all times shall be open to inspection and supervision of the BSNL officers. The contractors shall be bound, if called upon to do so, to offer the works for inspection without any extra payment and remain present at site either himself or his authorized representative duly accredited in writing to receive orders and instructions given to contractors. Site order Book: The site order book is one of the primary records to be maintained by the JTO supervising the work during the course of execution of works. The noting made by officers as well as contractors, will form as basis for operation of many contractual clauses. The contractor shall remove all the defects pointed out by the BSNL in the Site order book. The site order book is to be maintained in the prescribed format. The contractor or their authorized representatives shall also be at liberty to note their difficulties etc. in these books. The site order books shall invariably be consulted at the time of making final payments to the contractor. Testing and Acceptance Testing: The work shall be deemed to have been completed only after the A.T. Officer has accepted the same. The contractor shall make test pits at the locations desired by A.T. officer for conducting test checks without any extra payment. The contractor shall restore the pits after Test measurements to its original shape. The contractor shall be responsible to provide test/measurement tools and testers for conducting various tests. Scope of Acceptance and Testing: The purpose of acceptance and testing is to verify integrity of measurement and quality of work done. The A.T. Officer shall not be responsible for recording of measurements for the purpose of billing and contractual obligations. However if the measurements taking by A.T. Officer are found to be lesser than the measurements recorded by the officer responsible for recording the measurements, the measurement taken by A.T. Officer shall prevail without prejudice to any punitive action against the contractor as per provisions of

SECTION VII SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHILE WORKING IN PUBLIC STREET AND ALONG RAILWAY LINES 1. SCOPE OF WORK This engineering instruction deals with the arrangements to be made for providing warning signs, flags, guards and lighting while working on public streets and along Railway lines in order to prevent accidents to pedestrians, vehicles and working personnel. PRECAUTIONS WHILE WORKING ON ROADS : The period between half an hour after sun-set and half an hour before sun rise, and any period of fog or abnormal darkness may also be considered as night for the purpose of these instructions, for the purpose of providing the warning signs. Excavation liable to cause danger to vehicles or the public must at all times be protected with fencing of rope tied to strong uprights or bamboo poles at a suitable height or by some other effective means. Any such temporary erection which is likely to cause obstructions and which is not readily visible should be marked by posts carrying red flags or boards with a red background by day and by continuously lighted lamps at night. The flags and the lamps should be placed in conspicuous so as to indicate the pedestrians and drivers of vehicles the full extent, i.e. both width and length of the obstruction. The distance between lamps or between or between floors should not generally exceed 1.25 mtrs. Along the width add 6 mtrs. Along the length of the obstruction in non-congested areas, but 4 meters along the length in congested areas. If the excavation is extensive, sufficient notices to give adequate warning of the danger, should be displayed conspicuously not less than 1.25 mtrs. Above the ground and close top the excavation. Where any execution is not clearly visible for a distance above 25 mtrs. to traffic approaching from any direction or any part of the carriage way of the road in which the excavation exists , a warning notice should be placed on the kerb or edge of all such roads from which the excavation is not visible. Such warning should be placed at a distance of 25 mtrs. from the excavation or as near the distance as is practicable but not less than 10 mtrs. From the junction of an entering or intersecting road with in the road in which the excavation exists. All warnings, in these should have a red back ground and should be clearly visible and legible. All warning lamps should exhibit a red light, but white lights may be used in addition to facilitate working at night. Wherever required passage for pedestrians with foot bridge should be provided. At excavations cable drum tools and all material likely to offer obstruction should be properly folded round and protected. This applies to jointers tents well. Leads hoses etc. stretched and across the carriage way should be guarded adequately for their own protection and also that of the public. TRAFFIC CONTROL : The police authorities are normally responsible for the control of traffic and may require the setting of traffic controls to reduce the inconvenience occasions by the establishment of a single line to traffic due to restriction in road width or any other form of obstruction caused by the work. As far as possible, such arrangement should be settled in advance. If there is any specific regulations imposed by the local authorities, these should be followed. WORK ALONG RAILWAY LINES : Normally all work at Railway crossing is to be done under supervision of the railway authorities concerned, but it is to be borne in mind that use of white, red or green flags by the PGMTD Surat staff is forbidden to be used when working along a railway lines as this practice may cause an accident through engine drivers mistaking them for railway signals. When working along a double line of railway, the men should be warned to keep a sharp look on both the UP and DOWN lines to avoid possibility of any accident when trains pass or happen to cross one another near the work spot.

Section VIII Optical Fiber Cable Construction Specifications

OPTICAL FIBRE CABLE CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES The guidelines in the form of Engineering Instructions (E.I.s) on Construction Practices of Optical Fiber Cables are issued by T & D wing of the Department, from time to time. However, the present practices are summarized here under, from the point of view of describing scope of work under various items of work. The document will need revision as and when practices undergo any revision. The Optical Fiber Cable is planned considering the following objectives of the scheme. i) Minimum possible route length vis--vis route having maximum number of towns with potential telecom growth. Linking of small exchanges of main road by leading in O.F.C. vis--vis routing the main cable itself via such exchanges.
ii)
After deciding above-mentioned issues, a detailed measurement of lengths of cable route along with details of rail/road crossings, culverts, causeways, etc. may record in the detailed survey register. The probable locations of joints, terminations and generators may also be decided and marked on the route map. On the basis of survey, general permission from road and all concerned authorities for laying the Optical fiber Cable along the decided routes and permission for rail/road crossings will have to be obtained. Generally, O.F.C. is laid straight as far as possible along the road near the boundaries, away from the burrow pits. The O.F.C. is laid along the roads at minimum distance of 15 meters from the centerline of the road or in accordance with the permission from the concerned road authorities in view of their road-widening plan. As the O.F.C. is laid after obtaining due permission from all the concerned authorities to avoid any change/shifting at a later stage and also disruption of services/revenue loss. In special cases, where it may be necessary to avoid burrow pits or low lying areas, the cable may be run underneath the shoulders at a distance of 0.6 meter from the outer edge of the road embankment provided the same is located at least 4.5 meters away from center line of road and 1.2 meters below the road surface. The Optical Fiber Cable is laid through PLB Blowing/Preinstalled rope type pipe buried at a nominal depth of 165 Cms or more. 1.1 THE WORK INVOLVES: a) Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) or trench less technology to be used for making boring of 150 CP/225CP/300CP bore sizes.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
10.1 Safety Precautions when excavating or working in excavations close to electric cables The Engineer-in-Charge of the work should get full information from Electricity undertaking regarding any electric cables, which are known or suspected to exist near the proposed excavation and unless this is done, excavation should not be carried out in the section concerned. The electricity undertaking should be asked to send a representative and work should be proceeded with close consultation with them. Only wooden handled hand tools should be used until the electric cables have been completely exposed. Power Cables, not laid in conduits, are usually protected from above by a cover slab of concrete, brick or stone. They may or may not be protected on the sides. It is safer, therefore, always to drive the point of the pickaxe downwards then uncovering a cable, so that there is less chance of missing such warning slabs. No workman should be permitted to work alone where there are electric cables involved. At least one more man should be working near by so that help can be given quickly in case of an accident. If disconnection of power could be arranged in that section it will be better. No electric cables shall be moved or altered without the consent of the Electric Authority and they should be contacted to do the needful. If an electric cable is damaged even slightly, it should be reported to the Electric Authority and any warning bricks disturbed during excavation should be replaced while back filling the trench. Before driving a spike into the ground, the presence of other underground properties should be checked. Information on plans regarding the location of power cables needs not to be assumed as wholly accurate. Full precautions should be taken in the vicinity until the power cable is uncovered. All electric cables should be regarded as being live and consequently dangerous. Any power is generally dangerous, even low voltage proving fatal in several cases. 10.1.1 Electric shock-Action and treatment: Free the victim from the contact as quickly as possible. He should be jerked away from the live conductors by dry timber, dry rope or dry clothing. Care should be taken not to touch with bare hands as his body may be energized while in contact. Artificial respiration should begin immediately to restore breathing even if life appears to be extinct. Every moment of delay is serious, so, in the meanwhile, a doctor should be called for. 10.1.2 Safety precautions while working in public street and along railway lines Where a road or footpath is to be opened up in the course of work, special care should be taken to see that proper protection is provided to prevent any accidents from occurring. Excavation work should be done in such a manner that it will not unduly cause inconvenience to pedestrians or occupants of buildings or obstruct road traffic. Suitable bridges over open trenches should be so planned that these are required for the minimum possible time. Where bridges are constructed to accoCPodate vehicular traffic and is done near or on railway property, it should be with the full consent and knowledge of the competent railway authorities. 10.1.3 Danger from falling material: Care should be taken to see that apparatus, tools or other excavating implements or excavated materials are not left in a dangerous or insecure position so as to fall or be knocked into the trench thereby injuring any workman who may be working inside the trench. 11. Care when working in Excavations: Jumping into a trench is dangerous. If it is deep, workmen should be encouraged to lower themselves. Workers should work at safe distance so as to avoid striking each other accidentally with tools. If the walls of the trench contain glass bits, corroded wire or sharp objects they should be removed carefully. If an obstruction is encountered, it should be carefully uncovered and protected if necessary. Care must be taken to see that excavated material is not left in such a position that it is likely to cause any accident or obstruction to a roadway or waterway. If possible the excavated material should be put between the workmen and the traffic without encroaching too much on the road. Danger of cave in: When working in deep trenches in loose soil, timbering up/shoring the sides will prevent soil subsidence. The excavated material should be kept at sufficient distance from the edge of the trench or pit. Vehicles or heavy equipment must not be permitted to approach too close to the excavation. When making tunneled opening, it would be ensured that the soil is compact enough to prevent cave in even under adverse conditions of traffic. Extra care should be taken while excavating near the foundations of buildings or retaining walls. In such cases, excavation should be done gradually and as far as possible in the presence of the owners of the property.
11.1
11.2
Protection of Excavations: Excavations in populated areas, which are not likely to be filled up on the same day should be protected by barriers or other effective means of preventing accidents and the location of all such openings must in any
event be indicated by red flags or other suitable warning sings. During the hours from dusk to dawn, adequate number of red warning lamps should be displayed. Supervisory officers should ensure that all excavations are adequately protected in this manner as serious risk and responsibility is involved. Notwithstanding adoption of the above-mentioned precautions, works involving excavations should be so arranged as to keep the extent of opened ground and the time to open it to a minimum. 11.3 Precautions while working on roads: The period between half an hour after sunset and half an hour before sunrise, and any period of fog or abnormal darkness may also be considered as night for the purpose of these instructions, for the purpose of providing the warning signs. Excavation liable to cause danger to vehicles or the public must at all times be protected with fencing of rope tied to strong uprights or bamboo poles at a suitable height or by some other effective means. Any such temporary erection which is likely to cause obstructions and which is not readily visible should be marked by posts carrying red flags or boards with a red background by day and by continuously lighted lamps at night. The flags and the lamps should be placed in conspicuous positions so as to indicate the pedestrians and drivers of vehicles the full expanse i.e. both width and length of the obstruction. The distance between lamps or between floors should not generally exceed 1.25m along the width and 6m along length of the obstruction in non-congested areas, but 4 meters along the length in congested areas. If the excavation is extensive, sufficient notice to give adequate warning of the danger, should be displayed conspicuously not less than 1.25m above the ground and close to the excavation. Where any excavation is not clearly visible for a distance of 25m to traffic approaching from any direction or any part of the carriage way of the road in which the excavation exists, a warning notice should be placed on the kerb or edge of all such roads from which the excavation or as near the distance as is practicable but not less than 10m from the junction of an entering or intersecting road in which the excavation exists. All warnings, in these should have a red background and should be clearly visible and legible. All warning lamps should exhibit a red light, but white lights may be used in addition to facilitate working at night. Wherever required a passage for pedestrians with footbridge should be provided. At excavations, cable drums, tools and all materials likely to offer obstructions should be properly folded round and protected. This applies to jointers tents as well. Leads, hoses etc. stretched and across the carriageway should be guarded adequately for their own protection and also that of the public. 12. Traffic Control: The police authorities are normally responsible for the control of traffic and may require the setting up of traffic controls to reduce the inconvenience occasioned by establishment of a single line of traffic due to restriction in road width or any other form of obstruction caused by the work. As far as possible, such arrangements should be settled in advance. If there are any specific regulations imposed by the local authorities, these should be followed. 13. Work along Railway Lines: Normally all works at Railway crossing is to be done under supervision of the railway authorities concerned, but it is to be borne in mind that use of white, red or green flags by the BSNL staff is positively forbidden to be used when working along a railway line as this practice may cause an accident through ------- drivers mistaking them for railway signals. When working along a double line of railway, the men should be warned to keep a sharp look on both the UP and DOWN lines to avoid the possibility of any accident when trains pass or happen to cross one another near the work spot.
