TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR FIRM

Consulting Services for Detailed Design Services under the

Bangladesh: Coastal Towns Infrastructure Improvement Project

 

I.          BACKGROUND INFORMATION

 

A.     Introduction

 

Overview. The project takes an integrated approach to urban environmental improvement in vulnerable coastal towns of Bangladesh which suffers deficits in basic urban services and is severely at risk to the impacts of climate change. The project will provide climate resilient municipal infrastructure with key investments in water supply, sanitation, drainage, urban roads and bridges, solid waste management, slum improvements, and transport facilities.  The project will strengthen local governance and capacity for sustainable service delivery and urban planning as well as improve natural disaster preparedness. A project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) will be implemented to prepare feasibility study and preliminary engineering designs. The Local Government Engineering Department (LGED), with extensive experience in managing Asian Development Bank (ADB) and other donor supported urban projects, will be the Executing Agency for the Project. Pourashavas and/or city corporations will be implementing agencies for subprojects. A project management unit (PMU) will be set up in the LGED, and project implementation units (PIUs) will be set up in each project town.

 

For this purpose a consulting firm for Detailed Design Services (DDS) will be engaged by the Executing Agency for five years and recruited in accordance with ADB’s Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2010, as amended from time to time). A consulting firm will be recruited using Quality and Cost-Based Selection (QCBS) method with a quality: cost ratio of 80:20.

 

Project Design Advance. The detailed design consultant services are supported under a project design advance (PDA). The PDA implementation period is expected to overlap with the PPTA to ensure transfer of knowledge from the feasibility study conducted to the detailed designs prepared under the PDA. A PDA is designed to facilitate total project readiness and minimize start-up delays in ADB projects by providing quick-disbursing resources for project formulation. The PDA supports advanced consultant mobilization prior to loan signing.

 

Link between CDTA, PPTA, and PDA. Two technical assistances, a Capacity Development Technical Assistance (CDTA) and a PPTA, were provided to support capacity development and project preparation. The CDTA-7890 BAN: Strengthening the Resilience of the Urban Water Supply, Drainage, and Sanitation to Climate Change in Coastal Towns was approved in 2011 to conduct technical studies for making infrastructure under the ensuing project climate resilient.  The follow on PPTA, approved in 2012, will further apply the recommendations from the CDTA  in preparing feasibility studies and preliminary engineering design for the ensuing project. The PDA design consultants will further develop and finalize the climate resilient subprojects through detailed design work, particularly for water supply and drainage components. While the CDTA will generally provide guidance for further work under the PPTA and PDA, interaction between the three will be essential. It is planned that the PPTA consultants will overlap with the CDTA team to ensure transfer of knowledge, and the same between the PDA and PPTA teams. Preliminary engineering designs to be proposed under the PPTA in sample subproject towns will be tested against the impacts of climate change to make sure that they will be climate-resilient.

 

B.     Project Rational

 

Climate change and variability are critical development issues for Bangladesh, particularly in its low lying coastal areas naturally exposed to sea level rise, storm surges, and more frequent and intense storm events. The government, in its Sixth Five-Year Plan, FY2011–FY2015, has targeted assistance to vulnerable coastal populations with improvements in climate resilient water supply, sanitation, drainage, and flood protection infrastructure. The project was prioritized in the government’s 2010 Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR), prepared under the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR). As a key component of the SPCR, the project is eligible for financing from the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF) within the multi-donor coordinated Climate Investment Funds (CIF) as a pilot project for demonstrating ways to mainstream climate resilience into development.

 

ADB’s Country Operations Business Plan (2012–2014) lists the Coastal Towns Infrastructure Improvement Project for implementation in 2013. The project is consistent with ADB’s Bangladesh Country Partnership Strategy (2011-2015) which targets assistance to vulnerable coastal areas in adapting to the risks of climate change, as well as ADB’s urban and water operational plans. Given the potential for a large number of subprojects, a sector loan modality with subproject selection criteria using a performance-based approach for town selection is considered.

 

C.     Key Issues

 

Municipal infrastructure is generally inadequate in coastal areas as they are either damaged by natural disasters or otherwise no longer functioning effectively. Weak local governance and municipal management coupled with high poverty incidence, and remote locations, create persistent development challenges to these areas. Climate change, variability, and natural disasters further aggravate development in coastal towns, with disproportionate impacts to women and the poor, including (i) Increasing population of the cities and  towns (ii) higher death tolls during cyclones and extreme flooding, (iii) more time spent fetching potable water, and (iv) restricted mobility due to poor urban roads and limited transportation. The increased incidence of drought and saline intrusion into groundwater (from sea level rise and storm surges), coupled with high non-revenue water, is posing serious risks to drinking water supplies, requiring the potential for developing new, but costlier, water supply sources located at far distances.[1] Poor access to sanitation in coastal towns is also posing serious public and environmental health risks, with 44% of the country’s urban population lacking access to improved sanitation facilities (Bangladesh is currently behind in achieving its MDG Target 10 indicators for urban sanitation). Drainage systems are unplanned, underdeveloped and poorly maintained, and would be made further obsolete under more intense and frequent storm and erratic rainfall events. Given this scenario, future investments in urban infrastructure need to be climate-resilient to manage the long-term costs of investments, and to ensure that such investments deliver their intended benefits. 

 

D.     Project Approach

 

The project will take a participatory approach to address the social, environmental, and institutional constraints to inclusive development in coastal towns, and will serve to pilot new approaches in climate adaption to be scaled up under future investments.[2] It will reflect lessons learned from the first and second Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement (
Sector) Projects (UGIIP), TA 7197 Strengthening Resilience of the Water Sector in Khulna to Climate Change, TA 7848 Climate Change Capacity Building and Knowledge Management, and recommendations from the ongoing CDTA 7890 Strengthening the Resilience of the Urban Water Supply, Drainage, and Sanitation to Climate Change in Coastal Towns related to the location of water-intake works and the appropriate design of drainage systems, and urban wastewater discharge. The project will also closely coordinate with the World Bank and other donors working in the urban sector to avoid duplication and ensure complementarities.

 

[1] The cost implications of developing new sources will be studied under the PPTA.

[2] The project will focus investments in specific coastal areas to avoid spreading itself too thin for smoother implementation and will target coastal towns in selected ‘hotspots’ of vulnerability.

 

 

 

II.     THE PROJECT

 

A.      Impact, Outcome, and Outputs

 

The impact of the project will be improved access to municipal services in coastal towns including (i) water supply, (ii) sanitation, (iii) drainage, (iv) urban roads and bridges, (v) solid waste management, (vi) slum improvements, and (vii) transport facilities (i.e., boat landings). The outcome will be populations in coastal towns with more reliable and climate-resilient services. The outputs will be: (i) improved municipal infrastructure with climate-resilient designs; (ii) strengthened local governance and capacity for sustainable service delivery and urban planning; (iii) awareness raising and behavioral change in climate change adaptation and disaster risk preparedness, water conservation, and hygiene activities; and (iv) project management and administration support. The project design will target women and the poor.

 

Climate resilient designs will focus primarily on water supply, sanitation, and drainage subsectors. Climate resilient infrastructure in coastal towns will result in: (i) surface and groundwater sources complying with government saline standards, (ii) less flooding and water logging, (iii) less environmental pollution from wastewater discharged out of flood prone areas.

 

B.     Project Area

 

The coastal areas of Bangladesh consist of three distinct regions, namely the western, central and eastern zones comprising 19 districts. The coastal towns, with population of around 8.5 million, include both smaller pourashavas (secondary towns) and larger cities such as Khulna, Chittagong, and Barisal. Three coastal towns, namely Amtali, Galachipa, and Pirojpur were pre-selected for detailed study under the CDTA to propose recommendations based on climate modeling results to introduce climate resilience into the project designs. The process of selecting towns will be carried out during PPTA implementation. LGED already proposed a long list of pre-selected candidate coastal towns based on vulnerability to climate change (e.g., proximity to coast) which will be further screened during the PPTA. These candidate project towns include: Perojpur, Nolcity, Gournadi, Galachipa, Amtali, Daulatkhan, Ramgati, Hatiya, Chhagalniya, Patiya, Teknaf, Bhola and Patuakhali paurashabha, and possible city corporations In addition to vulnerability, the selection criteria will consider other factors as (i) overall demand and existing coverage of basic urban services, and (ii) areas where improvements in infrastructure are being made under other development projects which link to urban areas (e.g., coastal embankment improvements, rural roads, etc.), to ensure synergies. The selection criteria will be developed and agreed during the early stages of PPTA implementation and can adapt similar criteria used in other ADB supported projects, including governance reforms criteria.[3] The PPTA will prepare detailed feasibility study and preliminary engineering designs for sample project towns, while conducting further study on other eligible towns which meet the subproject selection criteria. The PDA will then prepare detailed designs and safeguards assessments for all subprojects in the project area, as well as feasibility study on non-sample towns keeping in mind the probable economic development of the towns, their growth and 2025projected population. This may be accomplished in different batches, as towns meet selection criteria.

 

During loan implementation of the ensuing project, separate consulting packages will be mobilized to assist the Executing Agency in the following areas: (i) service delivery and O&M; (ii) urban governance improvement, urban planning strengthening, capacity development, awareness building, behavior change; and (iii) project management and construction supervision. There is a clear link between the detailed design engineers and other services provided by other consultant packages. Coordination between the detailed design consultants and the construction supervision and project management consultants, etc. is required for smooth project implementation. Provision under the PDA is also available to hire an individual consultant (Senior Design and Quality Assurance Engineer) through individual consultant selection (ICS) which will be separate from the firm. The firm would require consultation with the individual Senior Design and Quality Assurance Engineer for any kind of technical decision, as well as preparation of necessary amendments in design as per the suggestion of Project Director.
