Ahmedabad: When the civic body’s roads and building committee met to finalize the fees for the three consultants who will ascertain the causes of the poor quality of the Hatkeshwar flyover, the costing was more than for the original designing of the flyover itself. The meeting also discussed whether the inspection would cover all 82 flyovers and bridges in the city.
The cost for this consultancy work is being calculated per square metres for the first time. These experts will also provide a detailed proposal for testing and repair works. “The fees for the three different aspects of the consultancy when calculated, works out between 7 and 10 per cent of the construction cost of the flyover,” said a senior AMC official. Sources in the AMC said some members of the inspection panel have beehttp://n project management consultants for various flyover and bridge projects in the city.
n 2017, the AMC’s standing committee had set up a panel who appointed consultants to carry out inspections of various flyovers and bridges in the city and suggest a repair scheme, if required. Initially, the consultants were asked to submit their reports by 2020, but a three-year extension was later given. “The consultant appointed by this panel was paid a fixed fee of Rs 1.25 lakh for a detailed visual survey and suggesting a scheme for repairs. These consultants were assigned random flyovers and bridges, wherever the AMC’s engineering department felt it was required. These flyovers were mainly structures that were more than 20 years old,” said a senior AMC official.
The official adds, “If the AMC decided to conduct repairs and their cost was Rs 3 crore, the consultant would be paid 1.25% , which is Rs 3.75 lakh for the visual survey and Rs 5.25 lakh for the detailed repair scheme.” These rates were fixed rates and were never on a per square meter basis. Mahadev Desai, chairman of AMC’s road and building committee, said, “A decision to set up a panel for conducting inspections of all 82 bridges has been put on hold.” Under the new scheme discussed on Monday, the cost of the visual survey works out to Rs 22 a square meter, and an additional Rs 81 per square meter for detailed inspection and a third fee for suggesting a repair scheme at the rate of Rs 302 per square meter.
