Here are some salient principles of the ROAD transformation model as gleaned from best practices around the world. A few major roads in each
city in Punjab are to be taken up as a priority. We will need to appoint consultants to do the underlying survey and design pronto to help scope
the needs. The consultants will also be project managing the actual construction taking accountability for right materials (durable, sustainable)
and design fidelity (accessibility, sustainability, performance, road safety, resilient, aesthetic, utility) and supervise the maintenance thereafter for
10 years ensuring the integrity and fidelity of intent and quality end-to-end.
A. THE HYBRID ANNUITY MODEL: Any build/renovate cost is to be paid 40% at the time and 60% over ten years to ensure lasting quality is
delivered. Maintenance cost is to be paid each year.
B. EPC + O&M Model
D. STRENGTHENING OF THE ROADS: This is top priority. The identified roads will need a survey of the status – a critical part of the survey
being the water drainage system itself – single most important reason for roads to get damaged quickly. Before undertaking the road
renovation, the drainage system needs to be fixed satisfactorily with due processes for redressing silt, blockage etc. Also, the road geometry
needs to be redrawn as a pre-requisite. We also need a traffic mgmt. expert to simulate traffic flow and bottleneck on these roads and take
resolution measures in terms of road width, traffic flow etc.
The 60% staggered payment should be a control lever to ensure quality is not compromised, however stringent input and execution checks
by an independent unit, in addition will help keep the efforts honest.
E. CIVIL, ELECTRICAL AND HORTICULTURAL WORK: This will involve building and upgrading smooth, seamless, continuous, universally
accessible, resilient, easy to maintain and aesthetically pleasing footpaths, central verge work, signage and horticultural work. Again, robust
plumbing work along with rainwater harvesting pits and electrical work must precede any builds.
In order to assess the optimal network of these, we have to put the citizen at the center. Lots of easily maintainable greenery suited to the
local habitat and deep irrigation works for all the greenery needs to be provided for. It will be great to attract butterflies back to the roadside
greenery, next to the footpath.
Trees to be used as per aesthetics, local habitat and easy maintenance parameters. Shrubs to be placed 30cms centre to centre or as per shrub
growth habit, to ensure no ground exposure. The ground cover to be provided by suitable plants. The ground cover planting was done at
15cms centre to centre or as appropriate to ensure no ground exposure.
F. SYNERGY OF SERVICES AND SHIFTING TO REMAKE: The vendor will need to do an optimal assessment of what needs to be shifted to
allow for the transformation works to happen seamlessly. Typical shifting will involve trees, bus stands, HT overhead lines/ poles, streetlights,
electric lines, water supply and internet cable lines etc.
It is important that the plan provides for various service ducts (including CCTV for example) wherever possible. Also, the streetlight network
sufficiency needs to be planned. Waste dumping charges need to be factored into the costs as well.
Interesting and relevant-to-community architectural/ design features can be planned for bus shelters, streetlights, and design of various
fixtures. It can also be planned for key junctions and walkways to reflect the local culture, community and pride without looking opulent and
being expensive. Thematic artwork, special horticultural designs, special design structures and aesthetic, but resilient, difficult to steal and
easy to maintain street furniture can be installed that makes the road feel like an integral part of the soulful local community.
A certain minimum consistency of quality and aesthetics needs to be. We should work from a Punjab-wide template with enough local
flexibilities allowed. Freedom within the framework. We seek aesthetics that’s not transitory and gimmicky but will have a lasting timeless
appeal. It should be inspired by the land of Punjab, and the essence of Punjabi people. We also need to ensure it’s not expensive – leading
sculptors can be engaged on materials and logistics cost basis only. To manage costs some of this can be phased over time as corporation
finds sponsors to help.
H. MAINTENANCE – CIVIL (REGULAR AND PERIODIC), ELECTRICAL AND HORTICULTURAL: 60% staggered payment for builds over ten
years is designed to stem shoddy quality and lack of thinking around “resilience” to begin with. However, we also need to complement it with
a robust maintenance regime with clear cut service quality controls defined. Any safai issue and water clogging must be cleared within 24h.
Any encroachment must be addressed latest within 7 days. And so on. Any open manholes must follow stringent guidelines for world-class
safety fencing – including with night lights - and can’t be kept open for more than 24h. Any significant repairs must follow similar world-class
fencing SOPs along with timebound execution with stringent punishment for delays. Markings need to be painted over every quarter.
Regular deep-cleaning, sweeping and mopping needs to be done (including with mechanical sweepers on the wide roads (design should
allow for that) and with sprinklers in the dusty seasons). Other imperatives are watch & ward; disposal of waste; pruning & watering of plants;
regular educating shows like nukkad natak for road education and behaviors (collaboration with NGOs); inspection scooters; preventing
encroachments; quick response to distress and accident etc. (quality expectations on each of these shared in a separate document).
Senior staffing in such an organization could be sourced from people with hospitality management background, so they see the road as an
“Integrated human experience” encompassing convenience, safety, multi-utility and beauty and pride across a diverse set of users – young,
old, handicap, pedestrians, drivers, hawkers etc. - across a diverse set of usage occasions.
Here are the details of the roads selected for the transformation. The measurements are as per Google maps and may vary some.
Punjab Infrastructure Development Board/PMIDC may decide to change the road lengths or selection of roads that may overall
increase or decrease the lengths given by 30%. Fees will be pro rata calibrated accordingly.
