FEASIBILITY
REPORT
10.1.
A
Feasibility
Report
is
prepared
after
the
preliminary
survey
is
completed.
The
report
is
intended
to
serve
as
the
basis
for
according
Administrative
Approval
(AA)
for
the
project
by
the
Highway
Department/Public
Works
Department.
When
International
fiinding
is
sought,
it
forms
the
basis
for
entering
into
negotiations
with
the
funding
agency
and
concluding
an
agreement
for
loan.
The
Feasibility
Report
must
establish
the
economic
viability
and
technical
soundness
of
the
altemative
selected.
Thus,
it
must
be
preceded
by
the
engineering
surveys
and
investigations
of
sufficient
accuracy
and
detail
as
to
result
in
a
fairly
firm
estimation
of
the
cost
of
the
project.
It
must
be
based
on
accurate
traffic
projections
and
must
contain
an
economic
analysis.
10.2.
A
full
account
of
the
socio-economic
profile
of
the
state
and
the
Road
Influence
Area
must
be
given
in
the
Feasibility
Report.
The
transport
infi^tructure
of
the
stage
mustbe
fully
described,
giving
details
of
the
road/road
transport
sector.
The
Feasibility
Report
may
include
discussion
on
different
altemative
alignments,
altemative
pavement
design
for
deciding
the
one
most
suitable
as
final
option.
Feasibility
of
stage
construction
should
also
be
examined
in
the
light
of
the
rate
of
growth
of
traffic
and
other
relevant
parameters.
10.3.
A
brief
outline
of
the
organisational
structure
of
the
Public
Works
Department
must
be
given,
establishing
its
adequacy
in
handling
the
project
and
giving
details
of
any
augmentation
support
system
proposed.

The
Report
should
give
a
brief
description
of
the
scope
of
the
project,
its
need,sources
of
funding,
budget
and
plan
provision,
selection
of
roi te
alignment,
cross-sectional
elements,
drainage
facilities
and
construction
technology.
10.5.
The
methodology
adopted
for
the
various
studies
must
be
described.
These
include
traffic
surveys:
soils;
materials
and
sub-soil
investigation;
hydrological
and
drainage
studies.
10.6.
The
design
standards
and
methodology
adopted
must
be
explained.

0.7.
The
Report
must
contain
a
reasonably
accurate
estimate
of
costs,
giving
the
basis
for
adopted
rates.
Any
provision
for
escalation
of
costs
mus*
^^e
explained.
10.8.
The
implementation
programme
involving
prequalification,
bidding,
constmction
siq>ervision
and
contract
management
must
be
drawn
up
and
presented
in
the
formof
bar
chart.

The
economic
analysis
must
be
based
on
current
costs.
The
IRC
Manual
on
Economic
Analysis
of
Highway
Projects
(Special
Publication
No.

gives
details
of
the
procedure
that
may
be
adopted.
