[email protected] D.O. 18023-1-2005-P-IJI io= November, 2017 Subject: Compliance of NQM's adverse observations on maintenance upkeep on PMGSYcompleted projects -regarding As you are aware, NI TI Aayog has set a target that maintenance upkeep of completed PMGSYprojects should be such that, not more than 15% of the total completed PMGSYprojects, inspected by NQMs from maintenance angle, are graded as "Unsatisfactory" during the year 2017-18. 2. In this regard, Secretary (RD)vide his DO letter dated 25th August, 2017 had inter-alia brought this fact to the notice of Chief Secretaries of the selected States, where the "Unsatisfactory" percentage of completed projects were significantly high during the period 2014-17. 3. I am sure the PIU must be ensuring proper maintenance of all completed PMGSYfor maintaining the road condition at the defined serviceable condition, during the maintenance period. Close supervision for monitoring the maintenance upkeep at SRRDAlevel also need to be in place, if not already done. Payments to the contractor during defect liability period should be made incumbent on maintaining the road to the defined serviceable conditions and no adverse observations of NQM,relating to maintenance is pending for the road work. 4. NRRDAis making a provision in OMMASwherein the SQC of the State would be able to upload the compliance report furnished by the PIU on the adverse comments of NQM, if any, on maintenance aspect of completed PMGSY proj,ects.
