SCHEDULE –A
(See Clause 10.1)
SITE OF THE PROJECT
1 The Site
1.1 The Government of Punjab, through Department of Excise & Taxation, Department of Transport and
Punjab State Agricultural & Marketing Board intends to construct, operate and maintain the
computerised interstate “Checkposts” at 21 locations equipped with modern computerized
equipment and amenities. While designing the Project, emphasis has been given to reduce the time
required for different clearances to provide maximum possible easement for road users entering the
State of Punjab through the Checkposts.
The Checkposts shall be integrated and will have functional representation from Department of Excise
& Taxation, Department of Transport, Punjab State Agricultural & Marketing Board and Forest
Department. The term “integrated” used in this Project broadly means that all concerned officers/
staff of various Government Departments (as detailed out above) shall sit under one roof of this
Checkpost building and will carry out their respective duties regarding the collection of taxes, levies,
penalties, fines, arrears etc and other relevant operations in respect of commercial vehicles. Also, the
data in respect of these commercial vehicles shall also be shared by all such Checkposts in the State of
Punjab after their modernisation & computerization as proposed in this Project is completed.
An index map showing locations of 21 Checkposts is enclosed as Annex-I of this Schedule-A.
1.2 An inventory of the Sites including the land, buildings, structures, road works, trees and any other
immovable property thereon, or attached to, the Sites shall be inspected / prepared jointly by the
Government Representative and the Concessionaire, and such inventory shall form part of the
memorandum referred to in Clause 10.3.1 of the Agreement.

limited to, be as follows:-
a) Safety of Design
All designs shall be safe to ensure that the Project or any part thereof (for example embankment,
pavement, retaining structures, culverts, drains, buildings etc) does not collapse (global stability)
nor its serviceability/performance (for example settlement, roughness, undulations, deflections,
etc) deteriorates below acceptable level as prescribed in Schedule K of the Concession
Agreement,

are followed to the extent feasible within the given Right of Way for each Check Posts as
defined in Para 2.0 of Schedule-A of Concession Agreement.
2.2 Design Speed
The speed of all vehicles at entry and exit in Check Post area will not be exceed 20 KMPH. For
through traffic in existing carriageway speed limit shall be 100 KMPH.
2.3 Right of Way
The Right of Way (ROW) is the total land width required for the Project, to accommodate the
booths & lanes, side drains, tree plantation, utilities, residential and non residential building, admin
block and other structures/area as defined in Para 2.2 of Schedule-B of Concession Agreement. The
ROW available for the Project is as given in Schedule-A of the Concession Agreement.

2.6 Transition Curves
Minimum length of transition curve shall be determined from the following considerations and shall
be adopted for design:
i) The rate of change of centrifugal acceleration should not cause discomfort to drivers.
From this consideration, the length of transition curve is given by:
Ls = 0.0215 V3/CR,
Where:
Ls = Length of transition curve in metres,
V = Speed in km/hr,
R = Radius of circular curve in metres,
C = 80/ (75 + V) (subject to a maximum of 0.8 and minimum of 0.5)
