About the Proposal

AMRUT 2.0 mission is a step towards ‘Aatma Nirbhar Bharat’ with the aim of making all cities 'water secure' and providing functional water tap connections to all households. This is being achieved through circular economy of water by effecting water source conservation, rejuvenation of water bodies and wells, recycle / reuse of treated used water, and rainwater harvesting by involving community at large. The mission also targets to provide 100% sewage / septage management in 500 AMRUT cities.

In Karnataka, the mission aims to provide piped water supply services to approximately 248 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) with census population below 1 lakh. The ULBs are spread across all 31 districts of Karnataka.

The implementing agency for the mission is the Karnataka Urban Water Supply & Drainage Board (KUWS&DB). KUWS&DB has appointed IPE Global Limited as the Project Development and Management Consultant (PDMC) for the mission in May 2023.

The scope of services of the PDMC covers planning, design, supervision, and management of all mission projects. This includes preparation of city water balance plans (CWBPs), city water action plans (CWAPs) and state water action plans (SWAPs), carrying out surveys and investigations, detailed engineering designs, procurement, and project implementation using PMIS / latest IT tools and techniques. The PDMC is helping the state in monitoring physical and financial progress of projects and updating the AMRUT 2.0 Mission portal. The PDMC is also assisting ULBs in conducting capacity building activities.

As the PDMC, IPE Global Limited now intends to hire the services of reputed survey agencies for carrying out topographical surveys related to water supply projects in Karnataka. In addition, the survey agencies may be required to survey urban areas selected for waterbodies rejuvenation and green spaces/parks projects.

Scope of Work

Carry out the topographical survey using Total / Micro Station / DGPS and Auto Levels for Georeferenced spot levels (X, Y & Z co-ordinates) for preparation of base map of project area / town to be used as inputs for preparation of preliminary and detailed project report (DPR) of Water Supply systems.

Topographical survey should be carried out for the project areas identified by the Engineers-in-Charge appointed by IPE Global Limited. The geographical scope of the survey contract will cover the entire state of Karnataka.

Description of Work

• Transfer for Georeferenced spot levels to several key locations to cover the entire project area, which would serve as Temporary Benchmarks (TBMs) with following activities.
• Transfer must be complete with respect to Geo-coordinates and elevation.
• ii. There shall be permanent marking done on the ground at these TBM locations for future reference and verification of survey at a later point of time. This marking should be a permanent paint mark on road or on a nearest permanent surface.
• iii. The TBMs shall be approximately one per 500m to be located at important junctions and on permanent structures and such other landmarks & well documented in an exclusive register and a separate list of TBMs shall be submitted.
• Topographical survey of roads, major drains (natural / manmade), roadside drains, water bodies like ponds & lakes etc. and cross drainage structures like culverts, bridges etc. in 3- D format, i.e. with X, Y & Z co-ordinates in AutoCAD drawings showing following features / details:
  • Orientation of North pointing vertically upwards.
  • Level on road center, road edge, shoulder edge and property line, land use and roadside drain location including its width, depth, type / shape, material of construction etc. on both side of roads.
  • The level of roads are to be picked up to 15m interval or bends / curves / change in slope / change in gradient, whichever is earlier on both sides of road.
  • Type of road (i.e. BT / Concrete / Earthen etc.) indicating its width and ROW (building to building).
  • Details of cross drainage works like culverts and bridges regarding type, number of spans, length, width, deck / crown level, invert level, formation level and road level.
  • Ground levels, top levels (on both sides) and bottom level of natural drain / stream all along its length, indicating its width including location and invert level of roadside drain out falling into it.
  • The level of natural drains / streams is to be picked up to 20m interval or bends / curves / change in slope / change in gradient / outfall point of secondary drains, whichever is earlier.
  • Location and levels of outfall points like bank of ponds / lakes / rivers showing its layout including location.
  • Highest Flood Level (HFL) data of outfall points like natural streams drains / ponds / lakes / rivers.
  • Location of electrical poles, overhead electrical lines, transformers, junction boxes for telephone, streetlights, trees with grit dia. And any other poles located on the road right of way.
  • Location of existing water supply sources like dug wells, lakes, rivers etc.
  • Location and details of existing water supply infrastructure like intake works at source, water treatment facilities, overhead / underground / ground levels tanks, valve chambers, pumping station, etc.
  •  Location of underground services like electrical cables, telephone cables, cable chambers, water supply pipelines (transmission and distribution), wastewater / sewerage pipelines and manholes.
  • For survey of proposed Water Treatment Plant (WTP) / Pumping Station (PS) site, block levels shall be taken at 5m interval.
  • Name of all localities, wards, important landmarks, junctions, crossings, (chowk), government offices, commercial complexes, markets, shopping complexes, schools, colleges, hospitals, temples, cinema halls, residential colonies, slum areas, major roads (national & state highways), railway lines or any other prominent landmarks are to be compulsorily provided in drawing.
  • TBMs locations shall be highlighted in BOLD on the drawings. xvii. The text related to any information (such as building names, road names, river names, feature description etc.) shall be provided in a corresponding layer named as its annotation layer. Any additional information captured during survey shall be presented in miscellaneous layer.
  • The survey shall also have a plotted contour interval of 1m, 5m and 10m in different color and layers.
  • Topographical grid survey data of open areas (such as WTPs, Pumping Stations, etc.) in 3-D format, i.e., with X, Y & Z co-ordinates in AutoCAD drawing showing following features / details.
  • Grid survey for open areas shall be captured at 5m interval grid and contours plotted at 1m, 5m and 10m interval in different layers.

Deliverables

The following items shall form part of the deliverables:

• Topographical survey layout of drawing showing all the above-mentioned features along with existing water supply system with spot levels in X, Y, Z format and contours (1m, 5m, and 10m intervals) with reference to existing Survey of India benchmarks.
