FOREWORD
The 74th
Constitutional Amendment has created a focus on improving and strengthening
Urban infrastructure and systems in Urban Local Bodies. With the availability of
substantial funds from various sources and with our own increased revenues, shortage
of development funds is no longer a major constraint for development. However
ensuring the effective utilization of available funds is a major concern.
Procurement processes in the Urban Local Bodies is one such area which requires
basic system improvement and transparency. Estimating the cost of works correctly
prior to the execution is one of the major challenges. Till now, Urban Administration and
Development Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh did not have its own
Standard Schedule of Rates which forms a basis for estimating the costs of various
Building and Infrastructure works including Water Supply, Drainage, Road, Sewerage
and Sanitation and Electrical Works. Presently Urban Local Bodies have to depend on
Schedule of Rates of various Works Departments of the State Government such as MP
Public Health Engineering Department, Public Works Department, Water Resource
Department etc. for civil works and Madhya Pradesh State Electricity Board for electrical
works. The infrastructure and maintenance works done by our Urban Local Bodies are
town specific as well as need specific and therefore, new items are required to be
created which are currently not mentioned in these SoRs. Hence the Department of
Urban Administration and Development has decided to develop its own Integrated
Standard Schedule of Rates for all Building and Infrastructure and maintenance works
keeping in view the current and future requirements of the Urban Local Bodies.
I am extremely happy that the Department, with the assistance of Project Utthan,
Madhya Pradesh Urban Services for the Poor (MPUSP), a DFID assisted programme
has taken up this task and have completed it.
To complete this task, a 18 member Working Group was formed vide order number
;kaiz/7/09/2442 dated 12th October 2009. This Working Group decided about the various
items required by Urban Local Bodies to carry out the infrastructure development and
construction works smoothly, and to be included in the ISSR.

The ISSR is prepared in four parts i.e. Volume - 1 Water Supply, Sewerage & Tube well
works, Volume - 2 Building works, Volume - 3 Road & Bridge works, Volume - 4
Electrical works. Specifications for various works have also been illustrated in three
separate volumes.
An Output Review Panel was also constituted vide order number
MPUSP/Engg./SSRs/10/439, Bhopal Dated 23-7-2010. The Output Review Panel
reviewed the process outputs and finalized various reports including Rate Analysis for
various items under Integrated Standard Schedule of Rates.
All the volumes of the ISSR along with the applications are also available on the
Website of UADD (mpurban.gov.in). Arrangements have been made for annual
updation of the ISSR. This will help the Urban Local Bodies in preparing cost estimates
close to the prevailing market values and hence, avoid high tender rates.
I extend my sincere thanks to the Project Director, Project Utthan, MPUSP, UADD,
Bhopal and to all the members of Working Group and the Output Review Panel for
taking keen interest in completing the voluminous job of preparation & completion of
ISSR well in time.
I am sure that this Integrated Standard Schedule of Rates will be quite useful for all the
construction, development and maintenance works of Urban Local Bodies of Madhya
Pradesh.

1 CLASSIFICATION OF EXCAVATED STRATA
a. All kind of soils: Generally any strata, such as sand, gravel, loam, clay, mud, black cotton
moorum, shingle, river or nalla bed boulders, siding of roads, paths etc. and hard core,
macadam surface of any description (water bound, grouted tarmac etc.), lime concrete
mud concrete and their mixtures which for excavation yields to application of picks,
showels, jumper, scarifiers, ripper and other manual digging implements. Removal of
gravel or any other nodular material having dimensions in any one direction not exceeding
300mm occurring in such soil shall be deemed to be covered under this category.
b Ordinary rock: Generally any rock which can be excavated by splitting with crow bars or
picks and does not require blasting, wedging or similar means for excavation such as lime
stone, sand stone, hard literate, hard conglomerate and un-reinforced cement concrete
below ground level.
If required light blasting may be resorted to for loosening the materials but this will not in
any way entitle the material to be classified as 'Hard rock'.
Boulders which do not require blasting having maximum dimension in any direction of
more than 300 mm,found laying loose on the surface or embedded in river bed, soil, talus,
slope wash and terrace material of dissimilar origin.
c Hard Rock (Requiring Blasting) : This shall comprise Granites, Basalt and similar
rocks/boulder, reinforced cement concrete for the excavation of which the use of
mechanical plant and or blasting is required below ground level.
d. Excavation in Rocks, where blasting is prohibited : Hard rock requiring blasting but where
blasting is prohibited for any reason and excavation has to be carried out by chiseling,
wedging or any other agreed method.
Notes for Specification :-

2 BLASTING OPERATIONS
Blasting shall be carried out in a manner that completes the excavation to the lines and
levels as indicated in the drawings with the least disturbance to adjacent material. It shall
be done only with the written permission of the Engineer-in-Charge. All statutory laws,
regulations, rules etc. pertaining to the acquisition, transport, storage, handling and use of
explosives shall be strictly followed. The contractor may adopt any method or methods of
blasting consistent with the safety and job requirements. Prior to starting any phase of the
operation, the contractor shall provide information describing pertinent blasting
procedures, dimensions and notes. The magazine for storage of explosives shall be limited
to the designs and specifications of the explosive department concerned and located at the
approved site. No unauthorised person shall be admitted in to the magazine, which when
not in use, shall be kept security locked. No matches or inflamable material shall be
allowed in the magazine. Materials, tools, plants, equipments and personnel, deputed on
blasting operation, should be approved by Engineer-in-Charge.
3 EXCAVATION IN WATER. MUD OR FOUL POSITION
3 (a) All water that may accumulate in excavations during the progress of the work from springs,
or river seepage, broken water mains or drains (not due to the negligence of the
contractor), and seepage from subsoil aquifer shall be bailed, pumped out or otherwise
removed. The contractor shall take adequate measures for bailing and/or pumping out
water from excavations and/or pumping out water from excavations and construct
diversion channels, bunds, sumps, coffer dams etc. as may be required. Pumping shall be
done directly from the foundation trenches or from a sump out side the excavation in such
a manner as to preclude the possibility of movement of water through any fresh concrete
or masonry and washing away parts of concrete or mortar. During laying of concrete or
masonry and for a period of at least 24 hours thereafter, pumping shall be done from a
suitable sump separated from concrete or masonry by effective means.
Capacity and number of pumps, location at which the pumps are to be installed, pumping
hours etc. shall be decided from time to time in consultation with the Engineer-in-
Charge.Pumping shall be done In such a way as not to cause damage to the work or
adjoining property by subsidence etc. Disposal of water shall not cause inconvenience or
nuisance in the area or cause damage to the property and structure nearby.To prevent
slipping of sides, planking and strutting may also be done with the approval of the
Engineer-in-Charge.
3 (b) Classification
The earth work for various classification of soil shall be categorized as under:
3(b) 1 Work in or under water and/or liquid mud: Excavation, where water is met with from any of
the sources specified in 3(a) shall fall in this category. Steady water level in the trial pits
before the commencement of bailing or pumping operations shall be the sub-soil wafer
level in that area.
3(b) 2 Work in or under foul position: Excavation, where sewage, sewage gases or foul
conditions are met with from any source, shall fall in this category. Decision of the.
Engineer-in-Charge whether the work is in foul position or not shall be final.
11

3 (c) Measurements

items of earthwork and shall be admissible only when pumping or bailing out water has
been specifically ordered by the Engineer-in-Charge in writing.
3(c) 4 Planking and strutting or any other protection work done with the approval of the Engineer-
in-Charge to keep the trenches dry and/or to save the foundations against damage by
corrosion of rise in water levels shall be measured and paid for separately.
3(c) 5 Bailing or pumping out water, accumulated in excavation, due to rains is included under
respective items of earthwork and is not to be paid separately.
4 Lift is to be calculated on the height of C.G. of lifted materials above C.G. of borrow pit. In
measuring lifts no notice will be taken of lifts less than 0.5 M.
5 In measuring lead, distance less than 25 meters will be ignored and 25 meters or above
shall taken as 50 meters.
6 Surface dressing comprises training the uneven surface of ground to uniform surface
(either horizontal or slopping) by scraping off high patches and filling in low patches with
the scraped soil. The Maximum depth of cutting or filling not exceeding 15cm.
7 Dry vegetation earth sand gravel, stone, deserts or brickwork, concrete, masonry etc.
obtained from the excavation shall be property of Govt. of M.P. The rates of excavation
include the separation of serviceable and unserviceable materials and depositing the
serviceable ones in regular heaps.
8 Shoring in wells, foundations and trenches will not be payable without obtaining prior
approval of concern Engineer-in-Charge not below the rank of AE.
9 The excavations shall conform to the lines & levels shown in the drawings and as directed
by the Engineer-in-Charge. The contractor shall not excavate outside the limits of
excavation. Any excess depth/width, excavated beyond the specified levels/dimensions on
the drawing shall be made good at the cost of the contractor with the concrete as specified
for the foundation.
12

10 Measurement :-
The length and breadth of excavation or filling shall be measured with a steel tape correct
to the nearest cm. The depth of cutting or height of filling shall be measured, correct to 5
mm, by recording levels before the start of the work and after the completion of the work.
The cubical contents shall be worked out to the nearest two places of decimal in cubic
meters.
In case of open footings up to the depth of 1.5 meters, alround excavation of 30 cm.
beyond the outer dimension of footing shall be measured for payment to make allowances
for centering and shuttering. Any additional excavation beyond this limit shall be at the risk
and cost of the contractor and shall not be measured for payment.
Where it is not possible or convenient to measure the depth of cutting by recording levels
,quantity of excavation shall be worked out from filling. The actual measurements of the fill
shall be calculated by taking levels of the original ground before start of the work after site
clearance and after compaction of the fill as specified and the quantity of earth work so
computed shall be reduced by 10% in case of consolidated fills and by 5% in case the
consolidation is done by heavy mechanical machinery to arrive at the net quantity of
excavation for payment. No such deduction shall, however, be made in case of
consolidation by heavy mechanical machinery at optimum moisture content, or when the
consolidated filling is in confined situations such as under floors.
11 Recording Measurements for Earth Levelling Work
Level Books: in case of levelling operations and earthwork, measurements are required to
be recorded in level books in addition to Measurement Books. The Level Books should be
numbered, accounted for and handled like Measurement Books.
Preparatory Works: Before starting the earth work, following steps should be taken ;
(1) Original ground levels should be recorded in the Level Book in the presence of the
contractor or his authorized representative, and should be signed by him and the
Department's Officer who records the levels. All the local mounds and depressions should
be indicated clearly in the drawing and the field Level Book and should be checked by the
Assistant Engineer/Executive Engineer before the levelling work is started.
(2) A suitable baseline should be fixed with permanent masonry pillars at distances not
exceeding 150 meters to provide a permanent reference line for facilitating check work.
The base line (s) should be entered in the Level Book with co-ordinates.. These baselines
should be maintained till the final payment for the work has been made.
(3) While recording the levels, it should be ensured that the circuit is closed by taking final
levels of the starting point or any other point, the R.L. of which was previously determined.
(4) Plans showing initial levels, location of bench marks and reduced levels, should be
prepared and signed by both the parties and attached to the agreement before
commencement of the work.
Test Check of the Levels
13

(1) The Assistant Engineer should exercise test check at least to the extent of 100%, and
the Executive Engineer at least to the extent of 10% where the value of this item of work
exceeds 10% of the tender acceptance power of the Assistant Engineer.
(2) The test check of the levels should be carried out independently by each officer, and
the readings should be recorded in the prescribed Level Book in red ink against the old
levels which should be neatly scored out wherever necessary. If the test check carried out
reveals serious mistakes in the original levels, these should be taken or re-taken and re-
checked.
(3) The test check carried out by an officer should be as representative as possible for the
entire work done.
(4) On completion of work, the levels should again be recorded in the Level Book and the
contractor's signatures obtained. These levels should also be test checked by the
Assistant Engineer/Executive Engineer to the same extent as indicated in (1) within one
month of the date of completion of the earth work, and according to the procedure as laid
down in the case of initial levels as indicated above.
(5) The formation levels as per final execution of the work should be compared with the
proposed formation levels and the work got rectified within permissible tolerance.
12 Rate includes dressing the pits and dumping excavated materials including dressing
dumping as directed by Engineer-in-Charge.
13 Rates: Rates of all items in this chapter are inclusive of the expenses of all labour,
materials, T & P and all incidental and other charges required completing the item of work
in full and also including hire & running expenses of all machineries required for the work,
including stacking of excavated materials as directed where ever required.
14 ANTIQUITIES AND USEFUL MATERIALS
Any finds of archaeological interest such as relics of antiquity, coins, fossils or other
articles of-value shall be delivered to the Engineer-in-Charge and shall be the property of
the local body.
Any material obtained from the excavation which in the opinion of the Engineer-in-Charge
is useful shall be stacked separately in regular stacks as directed by the Engineer-in-
Charge and shall be the property of the Government.

By adopting nominal concrete mix; such concrete shall be called 'Nominal mix concrete'.
Design mix concrete is preferred to nominal mix. If design mix concrete can not be used for
reason on the work for graded of M-20 or lower, nominal mixes may be used with the permission
of engineer in charge, which, however, is likely to involve a higher cement content.
Cement content prescribed in this Table is irrespective of the grades of cement. The additions
such as fly or ground granulated blast furnace slag may be taken into account in the concrete
composition with respect to the cement content and water-cement ratio, if the suitability is
established and as long as the maximum amounts taken into account do not exceed the limit of
pozzolona and slag specified in IS 1489 (Part 1) and IS 455 respectively
Table 4.5 Proportions for Nominal Mix Concrete
The proportion of the fine to coarse aggregate should be adjusted from upper limit progressively
as the grading of fine aggregate becomes finer and the maximum size of coarse aggregate
becomes larger. Graded coarse aggregate shall be used.
Minimum grade for plain concrete under mild exposure condition is not specified.
The above minimum cement content and maximum water cement ratio apply only to 20 mm
nominal maximum size aggregate. For other sizes of aggregate, these should be changed as per
Table 6 of IS 456.
Nominal mix concrete may be used for concrete for M-20 or lower. The proportion of materials for
nominal mix concrete shall be in accordance with table given below :-
The mix proportion shall be selected to ensure the workability of the fresh concrete and when
concrete is hardened, it shall have the required strength, durability and surface finish.
By designing the concrete mix; such concrete shall be called 'Design mix concrete' , or
Quantity of water required from durability point of view may be less than the value given above.

After the concrete has begun to harden i.e. about 1 to 2 hours after its laying, it shall be
protected from quick drying by convering with moist gunny bags, sand, canvass Hessian or any
other material approved by the Engineer-in-Charge. After 24 hours of laying of concrete, the
surface shall be cured by ponding with water for a minimum period of 7 days from the date of
placing of concrete in case of OPC and at least 10 days where mineral admistures or blended
cements are used. The period of curing shall not be less than 10 days for concrete exposed to
dry and hot weather condition. It is recommended that above minimum periods may be extended
to 14 days in the case of concrete where mineral admixtures or blended cements are used.
Measurement of reinforcement
Concreting shall be commenced only after Engineer-in-Charge has inspected the centering,
shuttering and reinforcement as placed and passed the same. Shuttering shall be clean and free
from all shavings, saw dust, pieces of wood etc
Expansion joints shall be provided as shown in the approved structural drawings as directed by
Engineer-in-Charge, for the purpose of general guidance. However it is recommended that
structures exceeding 45 m in length shall be divided by one or more expansion joints. The filling
of these Joints with bitumen filler, bitumen felt or any such material and provision of copper
plate, etc. shall be paid for separately in running meter. The measurement shall be taken two
places of decimal stating the depth and width of joint
Expansion Joints
Reinforcement including authorized spacer bars and lap pages shall be measured in length of
different diameter, as actually as per approved drawing used in the work nearest to a centimeter
and their weight calculated on the basis of standard weight. In case actual unit weight of the
bars is less than standard unit weight, but within variation, in such cases weight of reinforcement
shall be calculated on the basis of actual unit weight. Wastage and unauthorized overlaps shall
not be paid for. Annealed steel wire required for binding or tack welding shall not be measured,
its cost being included in the rate of reinforcement.
The concrete shall be deposited in its final position in a manner to preclude segregation of
ingredients. In deep trenches and footings concrete shall be placed through chutes or as
directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. In case of columns and walls, the shuttering shall be so
adjusted that the vertical drop of concrete is not more than 1.5 meters at a time.
Placing of Concrete
In case of concreting of slab and beams, wooden plank or cat walks of chequerred MS plated or
bamboo chalies or any other suitable material supported directly on the centering by means of
wooden blocks or lugs shall be provided to convey the concrete to the place of deposition
without disturbing the reinforcement in any way. Labour shall not be allowed to walk over the
reinforcement.
In case of columns and wall, it is desirable to place concrete without construction joints. The
progress of concreting in the vertical direction, shall be restricted to one meter per hour.

(a) Ends of dis-similar materials (e.g. Joists, beams, post, griders, rafter, purlins, trusses,
corbels steps etc.) upto 500 sq cm in cross-section.
Note: ln calculating area of openings upto 0.1 sqm the size of opening shall include the
thickness of any separate lintels or sills. No extra labour for forming such openings or voids shall
be paid for.
No deduction shall be made for the following:
Work under the following categories shall be measured separately.
(a) Rafts, footings, bases of columns etc. and mass concrete.
(b) All other items upto floor two level.
(c) From floor two level to floor three level and so on.
(d) R.C.C. above roof level shall be measured along with R.C.C. Work in floor just below.
(c) The volume occupied by reinforcement.
(d) The volume occupied by water pipes, conduits etc. not exceeding 25 sq cm each in cross
sectional area. Nothing extra shall be paid for leaving and finishing such cavities and holes.
Measurement shall be taken before any rendering is done in concrete members. Measurement
will not include rendering. The measurement of R.C.C. work between various units shall be
regulated as below:
(a) Slabs shall be taken as running continuously through except when slab is monolithic with the
beam. In that case it will be from the face to face of the beam.
Rates:
The rate for reinforcement shall include the cost of labour and materials required for all
operations described above such as cleaning of reinforcement bars, straightening, cutting,
hooking bending, binding, placing in position etc. as required or directed including tack welding
on crossing of bars in lieu of binding with wires.
(d) Chajjas along with its bearing on wall shall be measured in cubic meter nearest to two places
of decimal. When chajjas is combined with lintel, slab or beam, the projecting portion shall be
measured as chajjas, built in bearing shall be measured as per item of lintel, slab or beam in
which chajja bears.
(b) Beams shall be measured from face to face of columns and shall be including haunches, if
any, between columns and beam. The depth of the beam shall be from the bottom of slab to the
bottom of beam if beam and slab are not monolithic. In case of monolithic construction where
slabs are integrally connected with beam, the depth of beam shall be from the top of the slab to
the bottom of beam.
(c) The columns measurements shall be taken through.
