| dc.description.abstract | The study was done specifically to this project to undertake a design review and construction
supervision of the physical construction of the works on behalf of the Uganda National Roads
Authority while ensuring that the works are completed on time, within budget and meeting the
required specifications.
The works consist of upgrading to Class II paved Standard paved road, with double surface
dressed carriageway of 7.0m width throughout, and 1.5m wide double surface dressed shoulders
on each side, widened 2.0m in trading centres. They include earthworks for improvements to
alignment geometry and side ditches, construction of a mechanically modified sub-base
(chemically stabilized sub-base where the PI for gravel cannot be reduced using mechanical
modification), a base course with crushed stone material, construction of culverts and bridges
and ancillary works.
The Contractor‟s Financial Cash Flow forecast for the reporting month based on Work program
approved on 30th Oct 2017 was UGX 80,924,778,190. This report also covered the traffic
management aspect by the contractor; a team of traffic management has been established as
shown in the establishment of organization and personnel assignment of traffic management in
figure 10
Quality management and control was measured through inspection and testing of materials
intended for use in concrete works, earthworks (fill) and swamp treatment has been done on a
regular basis. Field Density tests were carried out on completed sections of fill and roadbed
preparation.
The main social impact of the project was land take for road diversions. This was mitigated by
working within the ROW as much as possible. In the event that road diversion falls outside the
ROW, land owners were adequately compensated.
The Contractor‟s Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) was submitted on April
05, 2016. However, after review by UNRA and the World Bank Team, the Contractor was
requested to incorporate comments and re-submit for approval.
