OF
DESIGN AND SUPERVISION CONSULTANT (DSC)
FOR
NEPAL URBAN GOVERNANCE AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT (NUGIP)
UNDER PUTALIBAZAR MUNICIPALITY

1. BACKGROUND
Government of Nepal has received loan from the International Development Association ("World Bank") toward the cost of Nepal Urban
Governance and Infrastructure Project (NUGIP). The Department of Urban Development and Building Construction (DUDBC) within the
Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) is the primary implementing agency for this project, and bears the complete responsibility of project
implementation, management, supervision and coordination. A Project Coordination Office (PCO) has been established under the MOUD,
DUDBC for carrying out activities related to the project. The PCO at DUDBC is responsible for coordinating implementation on day to day. The
PCO comprises of a Project Director (PD), Deputy Project Director (DPD), Project Engineers (PE), and other key project management/technical
staff.
The Project Development Objective (PDO) of the NUGIP is to improve core municipal infrastructure services and strengthen institutional
capacity in participating municipalities) in Nepal. In particular, NUGIP will aim at a) improving access to core municipal services (includes
expansion of coverage, and construction and rehabilitation of basic infrastructure systems, e.g., urban roads & storm water drainage, wastewater
collection and treatment, water supply including consumer water meters in new networks, lake restoration, interstate bus terminals, and municipal
buildings) in participating municipalities; b) strengthening planning, budgeting and implementation systems for municipal service delivery; and
c) strengthening municipal finances and financial management systems. The NUGIP will support 17 cities (with infrastructure and capacity
building programs) in two priority strategic urban clusters in eastern cluster (Provinces 1 and 2) and western cluster (Provinces 4 and 5). It will
also support 4 additional cities in capacity building programs. However, the support for Covid response as LIPW (Labour Intensive Public
Works) component will span across 12 other municipalities.
The 17 municipalities will be responsible for planning, preparation and implementation of the municipal infrastructure investments with direct
support from proposed Design and Supervision Consultants (DSC) and PCO. Each municipality will have a Project Implementation Unit (PIU)
committed for all project activities within the municipality. On the other hand, PCO and a proposed Urban Development Support Team (UDST)
will support 21 municipalities (17above + 4 additional) in planning, preparation and implementation of institutional capacity development (ICD)
programs. The 12 municipalities will take the overall responsibility of planning, administration, financial management, implementation and
monitoring of LIPW. A Project Management Support Team (PMST) comprising highly qualified international and local experts will support PCO
in managing and supervising the implementation of all five components of the project, coordinating with participating municipalities, monitoring
the implementation progress of all the project activities and compliance with the policies and procedures (technical, institutional, fiduciary and
safeguards) agreed between the Government of Nepal (GoN) and the Bank, and submitting periodic progress and compliance reports to the Bank
task team. PMST will support PCO in monitoring the performance and delivery of DSCs and UDST.
The PIU within Putalibazar Municipality (herein also referred to as the ‘Client’) which is established for project implementation at metropolitan,
will be supported by a Design and Supervision Consultant (DSC, herein also referred to as the ‘Consultant’) team comprising qualified experts on
technical, FM, procurement, environment and social safeguards. The PIU, with the support of the DSC, will be responsible for design and
construction supervision under component 1 of the project, as per the policies and procedures (technical, institutional, fiduciary and safeguards)
agreed between the Government of Nepal (GoN) and the Bank. The DSC will be engaged to help metropolitan in planning, designing,
undertaking procurements, managing contracts etc.
A two-layered mechanism has been proposed for project oversight and ensuring proper accountability at the local and federal level. At the federal
level, a high-level Project Steering Committee (PSC) will be headed by Secretary-MoUD, comprising key MoUD and DUDBC officials as well
as representatives from other relevant federal ministries/agencies like MoFAGA, Department of Water Supply and Department of Roads. Deputy
Director General – Urban Development in DUDBC will be the member secretary and convener. Similarly, at the local level, every municipality
will have a Municipal Coordination Committee (MCC) which will be headed by the Mayor and will constitute the Deputy Mayor, all the elected
ward representatives and head of the key departments of municipality (engineering, planning, finance etc.).

The NUGIP will comprise the following five components:

1.1 Component 1: Urban Development Grants (UDGs) M for strategic Municipal Infrastructure and Service Delivery
The component will provide UDGs to participating municipalities for financing strategic municipal infrastructure subprojects focusing on, among
others, rehabilitation and improvements in municipal roads, drainage, drinking water supply, and onsite sanitation, as well as associated design
and supervision costs. The component will support the operationalization of Nepal’s first urban sector conditional grant (UDG) system, which
focuses exclusively on strategic municipal infrastructure and service delivery improvement at the local level. The UDG allocations have been
determined based on an objective and transparent allocation formula, and will allow municipalities to develop their multi-year municipal
investment program in year 1. Municipalities will identify, design, and implement identified subprojects in line with the guidelines and
procedures outlined in the Project Implementation Manual (PIM). The component, through the design and implementation support, will help the
participating municipalities in developing robust contract structuring and implementation modalities to attract private sector participation for
construction as well as operation and maintenance of the municipal infrastructure, to the extent possible.
Selection and implementation of subprojects under UDG: In line with their constitutional mandate, municipalities will have full discretion and
responsibility to (i) identify, plan, and execute their municipal infrastructure investment subprojects, and (ii) submit regular financial and physical
progress reports to Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD). Strategic municipal infrastructure priorities will be identified and selected by
municipalities based on (i) municipal infrastructure and services gap assessment, conducted jointly with municipalities during project preparation;
(ii) community engagement/participatory processes1 through municipal forums organized by the elected local government representatives; (iii)
implementation readiness in terms of unencumbered land availability and other natural resource allocation approvals; (iv) environment and social
safeguards risk assessment intended to screen out subprojects with potentially negative impacts, as per the Environment and Social Management
Framework (ESMF); and (v) subject to the total UDG allocation ceiling for the respective municipalities.
Grant access conditions (GACs) and disbursement: Each participating municipality will have to qualify to a set of GACs annually to access UDG
and utilize them for the identified infrastructure subprojects. GACs are focused on strengthening institutional systems for improved service
delivery at the local level, and accordingly designed to ensure that the municipalities comply with: (i) the prescribed subproject identification and
selection process focusing on strategic municipal investment; (ii) adequate procurement and contract management systems, consistent with the
Bank’s procurement framework; (iii) FM and reporting systems; and (iv) ESMF including the negative list of investments. The PCO at DUDBC
under MoUD will verify the compliance of each participating municipality against GACs on an annual basis and the qualified participating
Municipalities will receive their respective UDG allocations on an annual basis in sync with the federal government’s annual budgeting and
disbursement procedures. MoF will disburse UDG directly to municipalities on a quadrimester basis through the District Treasury Comptroller
Office (DTCO) All the participating municipalities will be required to sign a participation agreement (PA) with the MoUD to agree to the terms
and conditions of the proposed Project, as well as their roles and responsibilities.

1.2 Component 2: Institutional Strengthening of the Participating Municipalities

The component will finance operational costs, goods, training and technical assistance support to strengthen the institutional systems and
capacities of participating municipalities (21 municipalities in total) for improved urban management and service delivery in the areas of, among
others: (i) integrated urban development planning; (ii) OSR mobilization; (iii) municipal FM, procurement, and contract management; (iv) citizen
engagement and gender inclusion; (v) urban infrastructure asset management system (including climate resilience), and (vi) institutional
performance monitoring and reporting system for municipalities. In addition to these six core urban management areas, the technical assistance
will also include dedicated support to the municipalities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, including in support to design targeted
interventions to help reduce the risk of spread of the virus, among others. The specific technical assistance can be tailored to meet the needs of the
municipality. The component will also finance limited goods for the municipalities (such as office equipment and fixtures) and specific goods
that may be required to support the work program across the six key thematic areas or in relation to COVID-19 recovery activities (e.g. software,
tools), and similar.
Institutional strengthening of the participating municipalities will be undertaken through three types of delivery modalities: (i) assistance for
developing manuals, toolkits, and operational systems and equipment; (ii) formal learning and classroom training; and (iii) on-the-job
handholding support to municipal staff. Urban Development Support Teams (UDST), comprising a mix of international and local experts will
provide support to the participating municipalities in identified areas of institutional strengthening and COVID-19 recovery support.
The component will adopt a demand-based approach to provide institutional strengthening support to the participating municipalities. The UDST
will be required to work closely with each of the participating municipalities to develop their respective city-level Institutional Strengthening
Program (ISP) within the thematic areas, which will identify specific activities of support and delivery modalities in the first six months of the
Project, based on comprehensive needs assessment and on the stakeholder consultations. The proposed participatory process will allow elected
representatives, municipal officials, citizens, and other key stakeholders to identify and prioritize their institutional capacity gaps within the
identified thematic areas of support, and accordingly seek support. The city-level ISPs will determine the delivery modalities based on the gaps

A detailed investment selection process to be followed by municipalities for identifying investment subprojects to be funded by UDG will be included in the PIM.
and priorities identified by the municipalities and the results to be achieved by the municipalities. The city-level ISPs will be implemented by the
participating municipalities with UDST’s technical support and progress will be monitored/reviewed annually. The institutional strengthening
support to the municipalities under this component is aligned and coordinated with the multi-donor funded PLGSP and the ongoing Bank-
supported IPFMRP.

1.3 Component 3: Support to Municipalities for COVID-19 Recovery

This component provides support and relief to vulnerable groups in twelve municipalities to help mitigate the short- and medium-term negative
impact of the COVID-19 crisis through rapid labor-intensive public works (LIPW). The component will finance (i) payment of wages for
unskilled labor to undertake temporary employment in participating municipalities; (ii) expenses for works, tools, and materials for the
implementation of such projects; and (iii) expenses related to management of the LIPW (consultations, administration, and supervision). Target
beneficiaries for the LIPW will be individuals from mostly poor and vulnerable households. Participants will be provided with appropriate
training on construction methods, where required, and specific occupational health and safety measures, including the use of protective personal
equipment. The selection process for beneficiaries will have provisions for inclusion of vulnerable groups including the elderly, physically
challenged, minorities, and disadvantaged groups. The LIPW subprojects will require a minimum percentage representation of female workers.
The criteria and other guidance for targeting beneficiaries will be detailed in the LIPW POM.
The LIPW subprojects will be selected based on local priorities and implemented through the involvement of communities, including UCs or
representative groups such as women’s groups, or disadvantaged groups at the municipal or ward level. Selection of eligible projects will be
guided by a listed of preapproved activities as well as a negative list that will prohibit any projects with substantial impacts in terms of social and
environmental safeguards. Example of eligible activities include (i) regular maintenance of municipal infrastructure, including maintenance and
cleaning of streets, roads and drainages, public spaces, parks, and community facilities; and (ii) construction of some basic infrastructure,
including community water facilities such as water distribution schemes, water kiosks, wells, and public washing facilities. The projects will be
required to have a minimum share of labor costs, to ensure high employment. A full list of eligible activities will be established in the LIPW
POM.
The funds for LIPW will be disbursed based on approval of eligibility of the proposed activities for LIPW subprojects. All the participating
municipalities for Component 3 will be required to sign a participation agreement with the MoUD to agree to the terms and conditions of the
proposed Project, as well as their roles and responsibilities. Municipalities will be responsible for identification, implementation, and supervision
of the subprojects. The distribution formula, eligible expenses/activities, and detailed implementation modalities, as well as detailed process for
identification and approval of projects and of beneficiaries, will be included in the LIPW POM.

1.4 Component 4: Contingency Emergency Response

The proposed project includes a Contingent Emergency Response (CER) component to respond rapidly at the Government’s request in the event
of an eligible disaster, including climate-related events and pandemics. This Component will finance the implementation of emergency
infrastructure reconstruction, rehabilitation, and associated studies (Emergency Response Activities). Resources will be allocated to this
component as needed by the project during implementation. Disbursements will be made against a preestablished list of critical goods or the
procurement of goods, works, and consultant services required to support the immediate response and recovery needs of the GoN. A separate
Implementation Manual for this component will be prepared by the GoN within the first six months of implementation and will provide detailed
guidelines and instructions on how to trigger the CER component and use funds.

1.5 Component 5: Project Management and Coordination

This component will provide support to the MoUD for managing, coordinating, and monitoring the implementation of the proposed Project, and
also for enhancing its federal policy and regulatory role for urban development. More specifically, it will finance (i) operational expenses of a
dedicated team established in MoUD for managing, coordinating, and monitoring the implementation of the proposed Project, including due
diligence, quality control, and reporting to the Bank on fiduciary, environment & social safeguards, and technical aspects; (ii) policy and
