2. PROPOSED CONSULTANCY ARRANGEMENT
2.1 Under the proposed arrangement each supervision consultant will be required to
create office, located at a suitable place broadly midway between the civil construction
package constituting the supervision consultancy package. The office will have key
personnel/experts performing advisory, supervision land regulatory functions. A set of
experts along with the Field Engineers will be deployed for construction package, to
carry out the day-to-day supervision of works as well as quality control testing etc. as
brought out in the Chart placed subsequently. Some of the experts will have relatively
short duration stay, because of their work being more of expert advisory nature.
2.2 They may hire the services of a better-qualified and experienced key expert from
outside (ensuring their availability for the project duration) to enhance the quality of the
team, if such experts are not readily available with them. The majority of the experts
should, however, the permanent employees of the consultants. The responsibility for
the supervision works for the construction packages will, however, firmly rest with
the main consultant.
