Request for Proposal Development of Integrated Solid Waste Management System
Ranchi Municipal Corporation
1.0 Introduction
Government of India has initiated a major urban infrastructure development project from
December, 2005 to improve essential urban infrastructure in 35 one million plus cities, state
capitals and certain other important cities of India.
The Government of India has come forward to extend financial support linked with reforms
to selected 63 cities of India under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission
(JnNURM). The cities of Ranchi, Dhanbad and Jamshedpur of Jharkhand State are
included in this list.
Ranchi is one of the 63 towns listed under the JnNURM. The city is facing a challenge of
providing essential infrastructure to keep pace with population growth. Due to urban
population growth and large tourist influx, solid waste management is one of the major
challenges being faced by this city.
The existing Solid Waste Management system in Ranchi is deficient in all components i.e.
waste segregation at source, primary collection, secondary storage, transportation,
treatment and processing, and scientific disposal of waste.
The existing Solid Waste Management system lacks adequate infrastructure facilities to
meet the norms stipulated in the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules
2000. The city of Ranchi needs to immediately augment its Solid Waste Management
systems to comply with MSW Rules [Link] proposes to set up an integrated solid
waste management (ISWM) system by way of awareness campaign, adopting segregation
at source, collection, transportation, storage, treatment and disposal of municipal waste.
The proposed project is covered under JnNURM and Ranchi is entitled to get 80% of the
capital cost as grant from Government of India, 10% from the state and remaining 10% to
be contributed by the ULB.
The part of Operation & Maintenance cost would be recovered from user charges, sale of
compost & other recoverable, advertisement rights etc to ensure project sustainability.
The proposed project will be for the entire area under Ranchi Municipal Corporation which
is approximately 175.12 Sq Km. The projected population of Ranchi city for the year 2011
is 13, 63,242.
Based on projected population and per capita waste generation in Ranchi city, estimated
solid waste generation for the year 2011 in the Municipal Area of RMC is 491 TPD
approximately. The projected waste generation during different project years is given
below-

Ranchi Municipal Corporation
2011 491
2016 577
2026 750
2036 1079
The various components of proposed project of ISWM system is based on the assessment
of the existing deficiencies and mandatory requirements as per MSW Rules 2000, which
are as under:
iii. Timely collection of the user charges, on behalf of RMC as determined by the RMC.
iv. Secondary storage and transportation of waste including street sweeping waste, drain
silt
v. Procurement and operation of equipments, vehicles and tools for door-to-door collection
vi. Construction, operation and maintenance of the engineered sanitary landfill facility
(SLF)
vii. Construction, operation & maintenance of the waste processing facility with composting
as one of the main processes.
viii. Collection, transportation, processing, and disposal of the SWM littered within the
jurisdiction of the RMC at the time of commencement of the collection and
transportation services.
x. In consultation with RMC, develop and implement a public complaint handling system
operational for at least 8 (eight) hours a day.
xi. Develop Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS)
based Management Information System for effective monitoring of SWM system, data
generation and data management.
xii. The parties should come with clear proposal for method of utilizing existing municipal
employee, tools, machinery & equipments available with RMC.
NOTE: It will be the responsibility of the Concessionaire to upgrade the ISWM facilities as
per the changing requirements of the waste management system. All the expenses
incurred in this regard will be borne by the Concessionaire

b. The embankment is constructed right across the whole section in each portion.
The materials for embankment shall be obtained from the designated borrow areas and
available excavated material. In general, all materials from the particular borrow area shall be a
mixture of materials obtained for the full depth of the cut. Some earth material available from
the excavation in the landfill area if found suitable will also be used for the embankment
construction.
a. Before placing the fill the foundation shall be prepared and compacted. Prior to placing the
first layer of embankment on the foundation moistening and compacting the surface by
rolling to achieve dry density not less than 95% of maximum dry density. (Standard
121
Proctor) shall be done. The distribution and gradation of materials throughout the fill shall
be as shown in the drawings or as directed. The fills shall be free from lenses, pockets,
streaks, or layers of material differing suitably in texture or gradation from the surrounding
material. The combined excavation and placing operations shall be such that the materials
when compacted in the fill will be blended sufficiently to produce the specified degree of
compaction and stability. The earth obtained from a particular borrow area as far as
possible shall be used in forming the complete cross-section of the fill for a particular
stretch. Sequencing of the placing of fill material shall be such that it shall be possible to
identify at all stages of construction which borrow area material is used in which stretch of
the fill/embankment.
b. No stones cobbles or rock fragments, having maximum dimensions of more than 5 cm shall
be placed in the fill. Such stones and cobbles shall be removed either at the borrow pit or
after being transported to the site but before the materials in the fill are rolled and
compacted. Such stones or cobbles shall be placed in other portions of embankment if
found suitable or rejected as directed. The materials shall be placed in the fill in continuous
horizontal layers, stretching right across the whole section, not more than 20 cm in
compacted thickness and rolled as herein specified. During construction a small transverse
slope from center towards the edges should be given to avoid pools or water forming due
to rains. The surface of materials to be placed thereon shall be moistened and/or worked
with harrow, or other suitable equipment, in an approved manner to a sufficient depth to
provide a satisfactory bonding surface before the next layer of fill material is placed. If the
rolled surface of any fill is found to be too wet for proper compaction, it shall be raked up,
allowed to dry, or shall be worked with a harrow or any other approved equipment to
reduce the moisture content to the required amount and then it shall be re compacted
before the next layer of earth is placed.
c. When compacting the soils against steep rock abutment or walls or masonry or concrete
structure the construction surface of embankment shall be sloped away from rock or
masonry or concrete structures for a distance of 3 m to 4 m at an inclination not steeper
than 6 horizontal to 1 vertical. If the foundation surface is too irregular to allow the use of a
large roller directly against a structure or rock out crop, the roller shall be used to compact
the soil as close to the structure or the out crop as possible and the portion of the
embankment directly against the rock or the structure shall be compacted with pneumatic
hand tampers in thin layers. The moisture content of the earth placed against the rock or
the structure shall be high enough to allow it to be compacted into all irregularities of the
rock. Care shall be taken in placing the first layer of the fill so that no damage is caused by
the hauling machinery to the base grade as this may get concealed by the spread layer or
fill. Sheep foot roller shall not be employed for compacting till the thickness of the layers
already compacted by other means is greater by 30 cm than the depth of the feet on the
roller drum. The soil for the first layer shall be at moisture content sufficient to enable
bonding of the fill with the rock surface.
122
3.6. Moisture Control
Prior to and during compacting operations, the materials in each layer of earth shall have
moisture content about 2% less than the optimum moisture content. Laboratory investigations
may impose some restrictions on the lower limits of the practicable moisture contents on the
basis of studies of compaction in embankment. As far as practicable the materials shall be
brought to the proper moisture content in the borrow area before excavation. If additional
moisture content is required, it shall be added by sprinkling water before rolling. The
Implementing agency shall make his own arrangements for supply of water in a manner
described under water for earth fill work. If the moisture content is greater than required, the
material shall be spread and allowed to dry before starting rolling. The moisture content shall
be uniform throughout the layer of material and ploughing, dicing, harrowing or other methods
of mixing may be required to obtain uniform distribution. If the moisture content is more or less
than the range of the required particle, moisture content, or if it is not uniformly distributed
throughout the layer, rolling shall be stopped and shall be started again only when the above
conditions are satisfied.
b. Roller drums
Each drum of a roller shall have an outside diameter of not less than 1.5 m and shall not be
more than 1.8 m in length. The space between two adjacent drums when on level surface
shall neither be less than 30 cm nor more than 40 cm. Each drum shall be free to pivot
about an axis parallel to the direction of travel.
c. Tamping Feet
At least one tamping foot shall be provided for each 600 [Link] of drum surface. The shape
measured on the surface of the drum between the centers of any two adjacent tamping feet
shall not less than 25 cm.
The length of each tamping foot from the outside surface of the drum..-'3hall be maintained
at not less than 25 cm. The cross sectional area of each tamping foot shall" not be more
than 60 sq .cm at a plane normal to the axis of the shank 15 cm from the drum surface and
shall be maintained at not less than 45 sq. cm and not more than 60 sq. cm at a place
normal to the axis of the shank 20 cm from the drum surface.
d. Roller Weight
The weight of a roller when fully loaded shall not be less than 7000 kgs per drum. The
loading used in the roller drums and operating of rollers shall be as required to obtain the
desired breakdown and compaction of materials. If more than one roller is used on anyone
layer of fill, all rollers so used shall be of the same type and essentially of the same
dimensions. Tractors used for pulling rollers shall have sufficient power to pull them at a
speed of about 4 km per hour with drums fully loaded. During the operation of rolling the
spaces between the tamping feet shall be kept clear of materials which could impair the
123
effectiveness of the tamping rollers. If the rollers used are at tandem, the tamper spacing
shall be set so that the circumferential rows of the rear drums are in line with the midpoint
between the circumferential rows on the forward drums.
e. Pneumatic rollers
Pneumatic rollers shall have four wheels equipped with pneumatic tyres and a body
suitable for ballast loading so that the load per wheel may be varied as necessary from
7000 kgs to 11000 kgs. Tyre pressure shall not exceed 2.5 kgs/ sq. cm. The tyres shall be
of such size and ply as can be maintained during rolling operations with tire pressure not
greater than 2.5 kgs/ sq. cm for a 11000 kgs wheel load. The roller wheels shall be located
abreast and each wheel and tire shall be mounted in such a way that all wheels exert
approximately equal loads when traversing uneven grounds. The spacing of the wheels
shall be such that the distances between the nearest edges of adjacent tyres at the imprint
will not be greater than 50 per cent of the width of single tire. When one pneumatic roller is
attached to a tractor, the entire tractor and roller unit shall be capable of executing a 180
deg turn on a 5 m radius.
f. Vibratory Rollers
Vibratory rollers shall have dead weight 5 to 15 tonnes and the vibrators shall have
frequency between 1100 and 1800 pulses per minute and amplitude of vibration shall
between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm
a. Rolling
When each layer of material has been conditioned, so as to have the proper moisture
content uniformly distributed throughout the material, it shall be compacted by passing the
roller. The exact number of passes shall be decided after necessary field tests. The layers
shall be compacted in strips overlapping not less than 0.6 m. The rollers or loaded vehicles
shall travel in a direction parallel to the axis of the embankment. Turns shall be made
carefully to ensure uniform compaction. Rollers shall always be pulled Density tests shall
be made after rolling and the dry density attained shall be not less than 95% of maximum
dry density (Standard Proctor) obtained in the Laboratory for the type of material used.
b. Tamping
Rollers will not be permitted to operate within 1.0 m of concrete and masonry structures. In
locations where compaction of the earth fill material by means of the roller is impracticable
or undesirable, which would be designated at the sole discretion of the Engineer-in-Charge
the earth shall be specially compacted
Fill shall be spread in layers not more than 20 cm in compacted thickness and shall be
moistened to have the required moisture content. When each layer of material has been
conditioned to have the required moisture content it shall be compacted to achieve the dry
density of 'not less than 95% of Maximum Dry Density (Standard Proctor) by special rollers
mechanical tampers hand held vibratory tampers or by other approved methods and all
equipment and methods used shall be subject to approval based on evidence of actual
performance. The moisture control and compaction shall be equivalent to that obtained in
the earth actually placed in the embankment in accordance with specifications explained
here in.
124
3.9. Inspection Test
Control tests shall be carried out in laboratory from time to time to determine whether the earth
produced by methods employed satisfies the requirements of the specifications. Routine field
tests shall also be carried out by the Engineer-in-Charge and the work shall be inspected
regularly. Field density test should be particularly and specially made in the following areas.
The Engineer-in-Charge shall determine whether the desired results are being obtained.
The Implementing agency shall provide all facilities such as labour conveyance equipment etc.
required for collection of samples and to conduct test in situ or at laboratory. Relevant test to
be conducted by the Engineer-in-Charge at his discretion at the borrow area.
4. TURFING
Scope
This section of specifications covers turfing on the slope of the embankment as Indicated in the
following drawing and mentioned herein with turf sods.
Grass turf sods of approved variety shall be used in this work. No directing planting of grass on
the embankment slope shall be permitted. The turfing will conform to relevant BIS
specifications.
125
4.2. Placing
The slope of the embankment including berms if any shall be turf sodded. After the slope has
been dressed to line, it shall be slightly roughened and scarified. The entire slope surface shall
then be covered with a layer of turf sod consisting of blocks of thin lining grass growth of
approved species. The sods shall include a mat of roots and earth. Thick Sod containing an
excessive amount of obnoxious weed growth shall be excluded Sod shall be carefully handled
in transportation and placing so that a minimum amount of earth will be lost from the root
mass. The blocks of sod shall be laid on the slope in close contact and then tamped firmly in
place so as to fill and close the joints between blocks. The interval of time between cutting and
laying shall be kept to a minimum and sod shall not be permitted to dry out. Immediately after
placing the sods, slope shall be thoroughly wetted and then kept moist for 3 months or till such
time the grass establishes itself uniformly on the surface whichever is later. The watering shall
be done. The growth of weeds on the turfing shall be prevented by removing them and
disposing off. The finished work shall be to the satisfaction of the Engineer-in-Charge and his
decision shall be final in the matter.

All raw material supplied to the manufacturer shall be delivered in rail car batches and must be
supplied with test certification from the raw material supplier. The certification must state the
results of tests, which confirm the quality of the resin. The raw material supplier must also
confirm that each batch of resin is all of the same type and is 100% Virgin. Each batch of resin
shall be given an identification (batch) number which shall be used and remain on file to keep
track of all rolls manufactured from each batch.
The use of any off spec, recycled or blends of resins will not be considered. Prior to the
production of the membrane, the membrane manufacturer shall test the raw material batches
127
to certify the raw material suppliers test results and entity of the singular resin. The membrane
manufacturer shall provide certification and all available test result for raw materials prior to the
delivery of materials to site.
The manufacturing process shall be a fully automated Flat-Cast extrusion process controlled
by a fully computerized system. The control system shall provide for the continuous monitoring
of the parameters like; Temperature, Pressure and Speed. The manufacturing process must
also provide for the automated continuous monitoring of thickness and sheet quality.
5.4. Thickness: - Each roll shall be tested automatically and evenly over its entire surface area, the
minimum parameters acceptable for testing each roll shall be 6,000 thickness point checks.
The acceptable thickness for each roll shall not be greater than -5% to +10% of the specified
material thickness.
5.5. Sheet Quality: - Each roll shall be tested automatically for High Voltage Test over its entire
surface area for any point of Electrical Continuity through (across) the thickness of the sheet.
The high voltage scanner shall be capable of detecting any pinhole, void or significant
reduction of electrical resistance. Any roll detected to have holes or electrically conductive
inclusions shall be rejected and not sent to the site.
Each roll delivered to site shall be provided with a roll test data report, these reports must
provide the following information and test results as per the specified ASTM standards, reports
must also carry the manufactures laboratory QA/QC approval seal.
The liner material shall be supplied with a 125mm-film sheet along the roll longitudinal edges in
order to keep this zone clean and to stop oxidization. This film shall be removed immediately
before welding.
The overlapping and welding area shall be marked to assure an optimum welding. The HDPE
liner shall have a glossy smooth surface.

5.8. Membrane Property
The implementing agency will arrange to carry out the following tests, at their cost, at a reputed
and approved laboratory at the time of execution of work to ascertain and assure the quality of
material received at project site. The tests shall be witnessed by client / consultant at their
discretion. The frequency of tests for physical and mechanical properties and their conformity
norms are indicated in following Table.
Any material rejected on site by the Engineer-in-charge shall be jointly inspected by the
Engineer-in-Charge and the Manufacturer/Installer. If required, the material shall be tested
and if the material is unable to meet the specification, it shall be replaced by the Manufacturer /
Installer at his cost.
Overlap the panels of geo-membrane approximately six (6”) inches prior to welding. Clean the
seal area prior to seaming to assure the area is clean and free of moisture, dirt or debris of any
kind. No grinding is required for fusion welding.
129
Adjust the panels so that the seams are aligned with the fewest possible number of wrinkles
and “fish mouth”.
Grind seams overlap prior to welding within one (1) hour of the welding operation in a manner
that does not damage the geo-membrane. Grind marks should be covered with extrude
whenever possible. In all cases, grinding should not extend more than one quarter inch (1/4”)
past the edge of the area covered by the extrude welding.
Implementing agency shall protect the sub soil desiccation, flooding protection, if required may
consist of a thin plastic protective cover (or other material as approved by Engineer-in-Charge
installed over the completed sub-soil until such times as the placement of geo-membrane liner
begins. Sub soil found to have desiccation cracks greater than half inch (1/2”) in width or
depth or which exhibit swelling, heaving or other similar conditions shall be replaced or
reworked by the implementing agency to remove these defects.
The sub-base must be properly prepared and compacted for installation of HDPE liner. The
sub-base must not contain any particles. The sub-base must be checked for footprints or
similar depressions before laying the liner. The seaming equipment tends to get caught in such
small depressions, causing burnout and subsequent repair. A small piece of the synthetic
membrane placed below the membranes that are being seamed (this piece is moved forward
along with the seaming equipment) may reduce burnout due to small depressions.
HDPE deployment will generally be not done during any precipitation, in the presence of
excessive moisture, in an area of standing water, or during high winds.
Installation of field panels shall be done as indicated on the approved layout drawing keeping
the provision for settlement of the soil. If the panels are deployed in a location other than that
indicated on the layout drawings, the revised location will be noted in the field. Information
relating to HDPE panel placement including date, panel number, and panel dimensions may
be maintained on a site-specific basis. If a portion of a roll is set aside to be used at another
time, the roll number will be written on the reminder of the roll at several places.
The method and equipment used to deploy the panels must not damage the HDPE or the
supporting sub grade surface. No personnel working on the HDPE engage in actions that
could result in damage to the HDPE. Adequate temporary loading and/or anchoring, (i.e.
sandbags, tires) which will not damage the HDPE, will be placed to prevent uplift of the HDPE
by wind.
The HDPE will be deployed with adequate allowance for typical thermal expansion.
Any area of a panel seriously damaged (torn, twisted, or crimped) will be marked and repaired.
130
In general, seams shall be oriented parallel to the slope, i.e. oriented along, not across the
slope. Whenever possible, horizontal seams should be located on the base of the cell, not less
than five (5’) feet from the toe of the slope. Each seam made in the field shall be numbered.
Seaming information shall include seam number, welder ID, machine number, temperature
setting and weather conditions.
All personnel performing seaming operations shall be trained in the operation of the specific
seaming equipment being used and will qualify by successfully welding a test seam.
5.15. Equipment
Fusion Welding consists of placing a heated wedge, mounted on a self propelled vehicular
unit, between two (2) over-lapped sheets such that the surface of both sheets are heated
above the polyethylene’s melting point. After being heated by the wedge, the overlapped
panels pass through a set of pre-set pressure wheels, which compress the two (2) panels
together to form the weld. The fusion welder is equipped with a device, which continuously
monitors the temperature of the wedge.
Extrusion fillet welding consists of introducing a ribbon of molten resin along the edge of the
overlap of the two (2) HDPE sheets to be welded. A hot air pre heat and the addition of molten
polymer causes some of the material of each sheet to be liquefied resulting in a homogeneous
bond between the molten weld bead and the surfaces of the overlapped sheets. The extrusion
welder is equipped with gauges giving the temperature in the apparatus and a numerical
setting for the pre-heating unit.
Factors such as the HDPE temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, etc., can affect the
integrity of field seams and must be taken into account when deciding whether or not seaming
should proceed.
All field seams shall be non-destructively tested over their full length using test equipment and
procedures described herein. Seam testing shall be performed as the seaming work
progresses, not at the completion of the field seaming.
The welded seam is composed of a primary seam and a secondary track that creates an
unwelded channel. The presence of an unwelded channel permits fusion seams to be tested
by inflating the sealed channel with air to a predetermined pressure and observing the stability
of the pressurized channel over time.
Both the ends of the seam to be tested should be sealed. Needle or other approved pressure
feed device should be inserted into the sealed channel created by the fusion weld.
Test channel should be inflated to a pressure of approximately 30 psi, and the pressure should
be maintained within the range listed in Initial Pressure Schedule given below. Valve should be
closed and the initial pressure should be observed and recorded.
The air pressure should be observed and recorded five (5) minutes after the initial pressure
setting is recorded. If loss of pressure exceeds the following or if the pressure does not
stabilize, the suspect area should be located and repaired in accordance with specifications
here in.
At the conclusion of all pressure tests, the end of the air-channel opposite the pressure gauge
shall be cut. A decrease in gauge pressure must be observed or the air channel will be
considered “blocked” and the test will have to be repeated from the point of blockage. If the
point of blockage cannot be found, air channel shall be cut in the middle of the seam shall be
cut and each half shall be treated as a separate test.
Pressure feed needle shall be removed and the resulting hole shall be sealed by extrusion
welding.
In the event of a Non-complying Air Pressure Test, the following procedure shall be followed:
132
1. Seam end seals should be checked and seams should be retested.
2. If a seam does not maintain the specified pressure, the seam should be visually
inspected to localize the flaw.
3. If no flaw is found, area to be vacuum tested should be marked. Entire length of the
seam should be vacuum tested as explained in this chapter.
a. If leak is located by the vacuum test, it should be repaired by extrusion fillet
welding. Repair should be tested by vacuum testing.
b. If no leak is discovered by vacuum testing, the seam will be considered to have
passed non-destructive testing.
1. The opposite end of the air channel will in all cases be pierced to assure that no blockages
of the air channel have occurred.
2. Whenever possible, seams should be air-tested prior to completing butt seams to avoid
having to cut into liner. All cuts through the liner as a result of testing will be repaired by
extrusion welding.
3. All needle holes in air channels, within the boundaries of the active cell, will be repaired
with an extrusion bead or repaired by patching at the discretion of the Engineer-in-Charge.
All information regarding air-pressure testing (date, initial time and pressure, final time and
pressure, pass/fail designation, and Technicians number) will be written on one end of the
seam, or portion of seam tested.
This test is used on extrusion welds, or when the geometry of a fusion well makes air pressure
testing impossible or impractical, or when attempting to locate the precise location of a defect
believed to exist after air pressure testing.
The equipment required for vacuum testing shall consist of following components:
1. Vacuum box assembly consisting of rigid housing with a soft neoprene gasket attached
to the open bottom, a transparent viewing window, port hole or valve assembly, and a
vacuum gauge.
2. Vacuum pump or Ventura assembly equipped with a pressure controller and pipe
connection.
3. A rubber pressure/vacuum hose with fittings and connections.
4. A bucket and means to apply a soapy solution.
5. A soapy solution.
133
4. Vacuum box should be placed over the area to be tested and sufficient downward pressure
should be applied to “seat” the seal strip against the liner.
5. Bleed valve should be closed and vacuum valve should be opened.
6. A minimum of 5-psi vacuum should be applied to the area as indicated by the gauge on the
vacuum box.
7. It should be ensured that a leak tight seal is created.
8. The suction should be held for an adequate time to thoroughly examine the HDPE through
the viewing window for the presence of soap bubbles.
9. After this period vacuum valve should be closed and bleed valve should be opened, the
box should be moved over the next adjoining area with a minimum three inch (3”) overlap,
and the process should be repeated.
1) All the areas where soap bubbles appear should be marked and repaired
2) The repaired areas should be retested.
Vacuum testing crew will use Mean Streak permanent markers to write online indicating
tester’s ID number, date, and pass/fail designation on all areas tested. Records of vacuum
testing shall be maintained on non-destructive testing form.
The purpose of destructive testing is to determine and evaluate seam strength. These tests
require direct sampling and thus subsequent patching. Therefore, destructive testing should be
held to a minimum to reduce the amount of repairs to the HDPE.
1. Destructive test samples shall be marked and cut out randomly at a minimum average
frequency of one (1) test location every 500 feet of seam length, unless otherwise specified
or agreed.
2. Destructive samples should be taken and tested as soon as possible after the means are
welded (the same day), in order to receive test results in a timely manner.
3. Qualified personnel will observe all field destructive testing and record date, time, seam
number, location, and test results on Destructive Testing Form.
4. Sample Size
(a) The sample should be twelve inches (12”) wide with a seam sixteen inches (16”)
long centered length-wise in the sample. The sample may be increased in size to
accommodate independent laboratory testing by the Owner at the Owner’s request
or by specific project specifications.
(b) A one-inch (1”) specimen shall be cut from each end of the test seam for field-
testing.
134
(c) The two (2) one inch (1”) wide specimens shall be tested on a field tensiometer for
peel strength. If either field specimen does not pass, it will be assumed the sample
would also not pass laboratory destructive testing.
1. Additional field samples should be cut for peel testing. In the case of a field production
seam, the samples must lie a minimum of ten (10) feet in each direction from the location
of the initial non-complying sample. A field test should be performed for peel strength. If
these field samples pass, then laboratory samples can be cut and forwarded to the
laboratory for full testing.
(a) If the laboratory samples pass, the seam between the two (2) passing sample
locations should be repaired according to procedures detailed in para 11.0.0 of this
chapter.
(b) If either of the samples is still in non-compliance, then additional samples should be
taken in accordance with the above procedure until two (2) passing samples are
found to establish the zone in which the seam/seams should be reconstructed.
2. All passing seams must be bounded by two (2) locations from which samples passing
laboratory destructive tests have been taken.
3. In cases of repaired seams exceeding 150 consecutive feet, a sample must be taken and
pass destructive testing from within the zone in which the seam has been reconstructed.
4. All destructive seam samples shall be numbered and recorded on Destructive Test Form.
1. Seam destructive samples may be sent to laboratory or tested on site when permitted by a
site-specific quality control plan or in the event that third party laboratory destructive testing
is not being performed.
2. Destructive samples will be tested for “Shear Strength” and “Peel Adhesion”. Five (5)
specimens shall be tested for each test method. Four (4) out of the five (5) specimens must
exhibit for each round of peel and shear testing. In addition, four (4) of the five (5) individual
specimens must meet or exceed the strength requirements as listed in Material
specification sheet in order for the seam to pass the destructive test.
Laid HDPE sheet on liner shall be tested for cuts, pinholes, seam leakage’s etc. by using
modern Geo-electrical leak detection/vacuum box on complete lining profiles before putting the
next layer. The implementing agency shall give the detailed methodology for testing. Any
defect remediation / repair modification as required by this test shall be carried out by the
implementing agency.
Any portion of the HDPE or HDPE seam shown a flaw, or having a destructive or non-
destructive test in non-compliance shall be repaired. Procedures for repair include the following
5.16.2. Patching
135
Patching shall be used to repair large holes, tears and destructive sample locations. All
patches shall extend at least three inches (3”) beyond the edges of the defects and all corners
of patches shall be rounded. The total area of patches in no case shall exceed 1.0% of the
panel area.
Grinding and welding shall be used to repair sections of extruded fillet seams.
Spot welding or seaming shall be used to repair small tears, pinholes or other minor localized
flaws
5.16.5. Capping
Every repair shall be non-destructively tested. Repairs, which pass the non-destructive test,
shall be deemed acceptable. Repairs in excess of 150 consecutive feet of seem shall require
a destructive test.
These tests will verify the welds’ mechanical resistance to peel and shear. No assembling
equipment will be used on site without a previous calibration test.
The Installer must prepare samples of a minimal length of one (1) metre by a width of 300mm,
with the weld centered on the sample’s width. Two (2) specimens will be taken from each end
of the samples of peel and shear. For each sample, two paired peel and shear results will thus
be obtained.
Calibration of all welding equipment must be performed and documented by the installer for
each instrument used, at the start of each work shift, following abrupt changes in weather
conditions and as requested by the Engineer-in-Charge.
Calibration of equipment will be performed by tests on geo membrane samples under the
same weather conditions as those expected on site during panel assembling.
Once removed, samples will be tested on site with a calibrated portable tensionmeter and must
meet with the requirements of welds resistance to peel and shear as described in the
Technical specification.
The Installer shall provide the Engineer-in-Charge with recent certificates of standardization for
all control instruments (tensionmeter; speed, tensile level etc.). The Engineer-in-Charge
reserves the right to demand any additional calibration test at any time.
All documentation on the calibration tests performed by the Installer shall be submitted to the
Engineer-in-Charge. The installer will identify each calibration test with the following
information;
Date and time
136
Identification of destructive test
Identification of weld
Welded panel’s identification number
Quantified results of peel and shear test
Identification of type of rupture
Quality control technician’s identification
Localization on “As-built” plan
The Quality Assurance technician shall perform small perforations in the lining in order to
assess the efficiency of the Installer’s non-destructive testing program. The Quality Assurance
technician shall perform those perforations with an approximate frequency of one (1) each

1. The implementing agency has to identify the borrow soil (if required) area having the
requisite properties as mentioned above and make his own approach and access roads
(as required) from the borrow area to the demarcated landfill area. No ,claim shall also
be admissible to the Implementing agency on account of his having to take longer leads
or routes for earth movement, than envisaged by him, either due to any road cuttings,
non-availability of routes, or any other grounds whatsoever.
2. In case total filling required in any area consists of earth both from borrow areas and
available approved excavated material from within site area or use of any amended soil
to achieve the stipulated permeability. The necessary laboratory
tests/demonstrations/calculations are to be furnished to Engineer-in-Charge for
approval.
3. In the event of filling of soil material as mentioned above, joint levels shall be taken -
before commencing the filling with earth from borrows areas.
4. Prior to the placement of the clay in the desired location, the sub grade under the clay -
liner shall be checked. This shall be usually performed by proof-rolling the sub grade.
Any weak zones shall be removed and appropriately backfilled, and all debris should be
removed. The clay may then be placed above the sub grade in loose lift.
5. Compacted clay liners shall be constructed in a series of thin lifts for proper compaction
and homogeneous bonding between lifts. The lift thickness of clay liner shall be 20 to
22.5 cm before compaction and 15 cm after compaction. The soil placed in a loose lift

obtained and verified by Engineer-in-Charge.
7. Each layer shall be tested in field for Moisture Content and Hydraulic Conductivity
(Undisturbed Sample) before laying the next layer the next layer. A minimum of 1 test
for 500 sq. m for each layer shall be conducted.
139
8. Successive layers of clay shall not be placed until the layer below has been thoroughly
compacted to satisfy the requirements laid down in specifications.
9. Prior to compaction, the moisture content of material shall be brought to within plus or
minus 2 % of the Optimum Moisture Content as described in IS: 2720 Part VII. The
moisture content shall preferably be on the wet side for potentially expansive soil.
10. After compaction of a lift, the soil must be protected from desiccation, which causes the
cracking of the Clay liner. Desiccation shall be minimized by smooth rolling the surface
to form a relative impermeable layer at the surface or the soil can be periodically
moistened. The protective measures stipulated above shall apply to each lift as well as
the completed liner or cover barrier.
11. The lifts shall be placed in horizontal layers. For liners to be constructed slopes, the lifts
shall be placed parallel to the slope.

The Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) ensures standards by requiring the concessionaire to operate and maintain the project facility according to the O&M Requirements. The concessionaire must undertake regular tests under the supervision of RMC's technical advisors to ensure compliance, and is solely responsible for any remedial measures if deficiencies are detected .
Mechanisms include detailed terms in the concession agreement addressing force majeure, default events, and closure requirements. RMC can alter strategies in response to unforeseen events through discretional measures like negotiation with bidders or annulling the bidding process, ensuring project adaptability and resilience .
Strategies include clear definitions of technical and operational requirements in the RFP document, strict penalties for deviations, and supervision by technical advisors. Regular audits, required documentation, and conditional certifications ensure ongoing compliance during the project's life cycle .
The key stages in the bidding process include the Request for Qualification, where eligible bidders are shortlisted, followed by the Request for Proposal stage that involves submission of technical and financial proposals. Evaluation of these proposals determines the successful bidder, who must then submit a Performance Security and sign a Concession Agreement .
Non-performance is managed through the requirement of bid and performance securities, which can be forfeited upon default. Continuous monitoring and inspections are conducted, and performance deficiencies are rectified by the implementing agency at no extra cost. Persistent non-performance can lead to RMC taking corrective action at the concessionaire's expense .
The financial score (Pf) is determined by the formula Pf = 100 X Fm/F, where Fm is the lowest bid price and F is the price of the proposal under consideration. This score contributes to the overall composite score used to evaluate proposals .
Methods include conducting regular sampling and testing in accordance with Indian or international standards, supervised by the Engineer-in-Charge. Any failed tests result in re-compaction or material replacement to meet specifications, ensuring quality construction .
The TA CUM PMC is responsible for issuing Completion Certificates, assessing project conformity with construction requirements, supervising necessary tests during operation, and overseeing the completion of punch list items. Additionally, they have the authority to halt construction works that do not adhere to technical specifications .
Key environmental considerations include ensuring health and safety of staff and labor, preventing any disorderly conduct, and maintaining peace in project vicinities. Proper accommodations and precautions are mandated to prevent environmental degradation and ensure compliance with relevant safety norms .
The Bid Security may be forfeited if a bidder withdraws its proposal during the interval between the proposal due date and the expiration of the proposal validity period, or if the successful bidder fails to provide the Performance Security within the stipulated time .
