Table 1. Table 1: Road Network under RBD Maintenance , -- -- 1 ~atizal~i~hwa~s 4104 2 State Highways 820 1 1 3 Major District Roads 34605 4 Rural Roads (under R&B) 18988 Total length of roads (km) I 65898 The Roads and Buildings Department has identified 10260 km of road network as "core network". Out of which 1400 km were improved under Capital improvement in Andhra Pradesh State Highway Project. The other set of around 17 18 krn was improved under Andhra Pradesh Economic Restructuring Project (APERP) and 1772 km under maintenance component under heavy periodic maintenance. The Roads and Buildings Department have initiated innovative methods of asset management by taking up the Performance Based Maintenance Contract on a Pilot basis in the year 2000 in four Districts of Andhra Pradesh (AP) under loan assistance from The World Bank with MIS VIC Roads, Australia. This project was called the Andhra Pradesh Pilot Road Maintenance Project (APPRMP). Based on the outcome from the performance based contract system through the pilot basis, it is decided to extend these types of contracts in all the districts of AP covering part of the road network maintained by RBD. Accordingly, the RBDIRDC intends to maintain the recently developed roads under APSHP, APERP & other projects like CRF under Long Term Performance Based Maintenance Contract (LTPBMC) system as a part of AP Road Sector Project (APRSP) with assistance from the World Bank. Accordingly, the RBDIRDC has taken up the identification of roads in each district and a total length of roads identified is about 6266.15 km under this LTPBMC project. SMEC International Pty. Ltd., in association with SMEC (India) Pvt. Ltd. and Vic Roads International, Australia, have been engaged by the Andhra Pradesh Road Development Corporation (APRDC)/Roads and Buildings Department (RBD) on behalf of the Government of Andhra Pradesh for providing "Consultancy Services for Preparatory Services for Long Term Performance Based Maintenance Contract System" for about 6000 krn road network. The scope of services of this consultancy also includes undertaking preliminary environmental screening of subprojects and preparation of an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) to be adopted during project implementation based on the World Bank's Safeguard Policies, the country and state requirements. Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) 1 Preparatory Serv~cesfor LTPBMC In AP 4% SMEC ppp 1.1 Project Description The project is designed to be implemented in 3 Phases. Preparatory work for Phase 1 is currently being undertaken. Project preparation for Phases 2 and 3 will occur in 2008. Each phase will have a 5 years maintenance period. The total length of the project road under Phase-1 of Long Term Performance Based Maintenance Contract (LTPBMC) is about 2051 km. The project roads are classified under three regions of the state, namely, Coastal, Rayalaseema and Telengana regions in Andhra Pradesh. Out of 205 1 km roads under Phase-1, 673 km, 535 km and 843 km fall under Coastal, Rayalaseema and Telengana region respectively. The identified roads under Phase-1 are given in Appendix -1. The location map of Phase Roads is shown in Appendix-2. The Project involves maintenance of Core Road Network for a minimum period of 5 years, essentially having 3 core maintenance activities as described below: 1. Routine or Ordinary Maintenance (OM) - where defects are minor and can be treated under OM activities. 2. Periodic Maintenance - where the surface only has sufficient defects to warrant resurfacing, either in the initial provisional works or as scheduled over the life of the
