PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTH STATE LEVEL EMPOWEREDCOMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON 7.8.07 AT 4.30PM IN THECHAMBERS OF THE CHIEF SECRETARY, VIDHANA SOUDHA,BANGALORE.Members presentEnclosedThe Managing Director, KUIDFC welcomed the Chairman and other Members ofthe Committee to its sixth meeting. He explained that the meeting wasconvened to consider proposals of BBMP. Subsequently BWSSB had alsosubmitted three proposals and the same were presented as additional subjects.The three proposals for remodeling Storm Water Drains were presented byBBMP to the Committee. The present conditions of the drainages were outlinedand the vulnerable areas were listed through pictures where water logging wasacute during the flooding. It was also pointed out that in most of the new areasthere was no drainage system at all and flow was along natural valleys andhence cost would be higher in comparison to that in the core areas. Box type ofdrains were proposed to be put up.The committee noted the various critical areas in the project and made thefollowing observations and suggestions.a) The areas adjoining the drains would improve substantially afterconstruction and should look out for ways to harvest the value addition.The length of the drains should be surveyed to identify the extent of landthat would become available on either sides after construction and suchland should be cordoned off so that encroachment would not happen.b) The possibility of constructing roads wherever feasible on top of thedrains should be studied and necessary provisioning should be made inthe existing design in order to keep options open for future construction

2of roads. The possibility of exploiting these drains for construction of LinkRoads should also be examined.c) Box Type of construction cannot take loads on top and hencePIERS/COLOUMNS should be constructed wherever roads are to beconstructed at a future date. The logic should be brought out in the DPRsso that higher costs due to construction of PIERS/COLOUMNS can bejustified. In some lengths the possibility of constructing twin boxes shouldbe explored in order to improve flow of sewage and create two way roadsif roads were to be built on top. Some stretches could also be designed fortwo wheelers only if width was a constraint.d) Wherever larger areas are harvested the possibility of using such land forother applications should be studied.e) Most of the drain lengths were along natural valleys in these new areasand it was likely that large areas would be encroached. BBMP should evictsuch areas for effective implementation of the project. This would also benecessary to maintain uniform width of the drains all along.f) Tendering should be done in packages so that work could be carried onsimultaneously all along. Package sizes should not be of a very small size.A package size of about Rs 30 crs to Rs 40 crs would perhaps facilitatequality work on a time bound basis.The committee desired that the DPRs take note of the above observationsand thereafter sent to the MoUD. The committee approved the threeproposals and passed the following resolutions.Subject No.1Proposal for Remodeling of Storm Water Drainsin Byatarayanapura (BBMP)RESOLUTION No.1“RESOLVED that the proposal for remodeling of Storm Water Drains at anestimated cost of Rs.95.66 crores (rupees ninety five crores and sixty six lakhs
