Introduction

• ARRR Version 1104 is a user friendly software for Analysis of Rates for Rural Roads and contains the provisions of Ministry of Rural Development Standard Data Book for Analysis of Rates for Rural Roads published by the Indian Roads Congress in November, 2004 and incorporates Errata No.1 dated 19.11.2004 to the 1st Edition published in September, 2004 in Excel Worksheet format. The ARRR contains the following files:

1. Abbreviations

2. Basic Approach

1. Preamble-Chapterwise

2. Contents List

3. Input Rate Work Sheet for Labour, Machinery and Materials

4. Summary

5. Chapterwise workout of rate analysis

• The user is required to enter the basic rates for Labour, Machinery (hire charges) and Materials used in the various items of work (Annexure-1). The rate analysis is carried out automatically and final rate is transferred in the Summary file (Annexure-2).

• The Summary Worksheet has been prepared in the form of Basic Schedule of Rates/Standard Schedule of Rates used by the Public Works Departments for road works. In case the rates of all items of works are required, the rates for all the items of Labour, Machinery and Materials listed in the Input file are to be entered. However, in case rates are to be assessed only for a few items, the user is required to see the Worksheet of these items either in the Standard Data Book or Worksheet, note down the items of input and feed the rates of those items in the Input file. The rates will be worked out and transferred to Summary sheet. The user is required to ensure that basic rates of all the items used in the rate analysis are entered in the Input file, otherwise, the final rate would be erroneous.

• Apart from entering data in the Input file, the user is required to enter the data in the detail workout for the following items:
