PHEO Odisha Schedule of Rates
About Public Health Engineering Organisation, Odisha
PHEO is responsible for water supply, sewerage and drainage infrastructure across Odisha — including JJM-Odisha rural component, urban water augmentation in major cities (Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, Berhampur), and the comprehensive sewerage programme tied to AMRUT 2.0. PHEO's Analysis of Rates (AR 2013) covers water-supply scheme civil scope: intake civil, raw-water transmission, treatment plants, distribution networks, ESRs/GLRs, household connections, plus tube-well sinking and pumping civil. Distinct from Works Dept SOR which covers general civil; PHEO scope is utility-specific. The 2013 base remains in force with subsequent gazette amendments. Engineers preparing PHEO tenders work from this AR plus tender-specific BoQs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is PHEO different from Works Department?
Works Dept handles general civil (buildings, roads, bridges). PHEO is utility-specific (water-supply, sewerage, drainage). Both are state-government departments but with separate SORs reflecting different scope. PHEO is the only Odisha department with a standalone SOR outside Works.
Why is the 2013 edition still current?
PHEO has not published a newer comprehensive AR. Subsequent rate updates come via gazette amendments rather than full reissues. The 2013 base + amendments remains the operational framework.
What about JJM-Odisha?
JJM-Odisha rural water-supply implementation routes through PHEO using AR 2013 + JJM-specific tender annexures + CPHEEO Manual for water-treatment design specifics.
Does urban water-supply use this SOR?
Yes for the civil scope. Major urban water-supply projects in Bhubaneswar, Cuttack reference PHEO AR plus AMRUT 2.0 cost-ceiling framework.
What's the predecessor edition?
PHEO AR 1999-2000 was the predecessor. AR 2013 superseded it; AR 2013 itself is now over a decade old but remains the canonical reference.
