(a) General
The construction of interlocking concrete block involves preparation of sub-grade and sub-
base layers, bedding sand and finally the laying of blocks. The block paving can be done
entirely by manual labour. However, for efficient construction work, the work force has to be
properly trained for this specialized job.
6-55
(b) Preparation of Sub-grade
Sub-grade should be compacted in layers of 150 mm to 200 mm thickness as per the use of
compaction equipment. The prepared sub-grade should be graded and trimmed to a
tolerance of ± 20 mm of the design level.
(c) Sub-base Course
The granular sub-base course shall be constructed following the section 1201 of this
Specification.
(d) Placing and Screeding of Bedding Sand
The thickness of the sand bed after compaction should be in the range of 20 - 40 mm,
whereas, in the loose form it can be 25 to 50 mm. Bedding sand should not be used to fill-up
local depressions on the surface of a sub-base layer. The depressions should be repaired in
advance before placing sand. Sand to be used should be uniformly in loose condition and
should have uniform moisture content. Best moisture content is between 6 to 8 percent.
The processed sand is spread to the required thickness. The sand is subsequently compacted
with plate vibrators weighing 0.6 tonnes or more.
(e) Laying of Blocks
Blocks can be laid generally by manual labour.
As far as possible, laying should proceed in one direction only, along the entire width of the
area to be paved.
While locating the starting line, the following should be considered:
In case of irregular shaped edge restraints or strip, it is better to start from straight
sting line.

1619 Ground Conditions:
No responsibility is accepted by the Engineer or the Employer for any opinions or conclusions given
in any factual or interpretative Site Investigation Reports. The Contractor shall report immediately to
the Engineer any circumstances which indicates that in the Contractor's opinion the ground
conditions differ substantially from those reported in or which could have been inferred from the
site investigation reports, geotechnical design report, or from pilot pile test results or from trial
boreholes SPT values and tests.
The Contractor shall drill one borehole at each pier and abutment to the design depth of the piles at
that location. The bore log shall be provided to the Engineer within three days of the completion of
each borehole for his assessment of the consistency of the subsurface conditions with those used for
design. No separate payment will be made for such boreholes.
The pile lengths shown on the Drawings are design lengths. Final pile lengths will be determined in
the field by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer after considering the pilot pile load test
results. If the results vary significantly the Engineer may order confirmatory subsoil investigation.

ASTM D 1452 as agreed with the Engineer. Field identification and logging of soil samples shall be
made in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
Before taking any undisturbed samples or making any in-situ test, the lining shall be carried down to
the bottom of the borehole at the test depth. Augers of proper size shall be used in very soft to soft
clays and silts to avoid suction, the use of shell shall only be restricted to moderately stiff to very stiff
and hard clays and also in sandy strata below water table. The use of a chisel will be permitted only
in boulder or rock formation or through local obstructions etc.
Uncased boreholes may be permitted only up to a depth where, the sides of the hole canst and
unsupported. In case side fall or squeezing is noticed, steps shall be taken immediately to stabilize
the sides of the borehole by casing pipes as directed by the Engineer. Use of bentonites slurry of 5%
concentration may be permitted to stabilize the borehole.
No water shall be added while boring through cohesive soils and cohesion- less soils above the water
table. While boring through cohesion- less soil below the water table, the water level in the casing
shall always be maintained at or above the water table. The cuttings brought up by the auger, shell
or the split-spoon or undisturbed sampler shall be carefully examined and the soil description duly
recorded after performing field identification tests.
After completion of the boring at any borehole, a bore log shall be prepared in an approved standard
template in consultation with the Engineer and submitted to the Engineer in triplicate. After
observing the position of the water table after 24 hours, backfilling of the borehole shall be carried
out with approved materials and in a manner as directed by the Engineer.
6-82
(c) Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
SPT tests will be carried out at in accordance with the procedure in AASHTO T-206 or ASTM D-1586
at 1.5 m interval or at every identifiable change of strata, whichever is earlier. The driving of split-
spoon shall be recorded for every 150 mm of penetration until the total penetration is 450 mm.
Boring shall be terminated when a combined 100 blow count (from SPT) is recorded for300 mm of
penetration or less in the borehole. Other conditions for termination of SPT and subsequently, the
borehole are as follows:
i. 50 blows produce less than 150 mm advance
ii. 10 successive blows produce no advance
When termination conditions are met, the borehole log shall show the number of recorded
blows for the amount of penetration e.g., 70/100 (or 50/100) will indicate that 70 (or 50)
blows resulted in a penetration of 100 mm.
N-values as observed in the field shall be reported in the bore logs without any correction
for overburden and water table.
(d) Disturbed Samples
Disturbed samples shall be taken from borehole cuttings and split-spoon for visual classification tests
at the site. The samples shall be taken at 1.5 m intervals or ate very identifiable change of strata,
whichever is met earlier to give a reliable record of the variations in the conditions of the soils.
Disturbed samples shall be sent to the laboratory in air-tight plastic container with proper labelling
for the purpose of record and laboratory testing.
(e) Undisturbed Samples
Undisturbed samples (75 mm diameter) shall be collected in good quality thin-walled seamless
Shelby Tubes conforming to the ASTM D-1587/AASHTO T-207 from cohesive soil strata. No SPT shall
be conducted immediately before collection of an undisturbed sample.
Undisturbed samples shall be taken from the boreholes at following intervals or at every identifiable
change of strata if met with earlier.
0.00 m to 15 m @ 1.5 m interval 15 m and above @ 3.0 m interval. The size of the thin-walled
sampler should be such that a sample having a minimum size of75 mm diameter and 450 mm length
can be recovered. The sampler shall be pushed straight by jacking in soft to firm deposit and no
hammering shall be allowed. Use of thick wall samplers may be permitted in case of deposits having
very high consistency, subject to the approval of the Engineer. Recovery ratio shall be observed and
reported in the boreholes, for every sample. The top and bottom of a sample must be indicated
clearly on the sample tube to facilitate laboratory testing in proper orientation.
(f) Handling and Labeling of Samples
The following conditions of handling and protection of undisturbed samples shall be undertaken on
undisturbed sample.
a) Immediately after being taken from the borehole pit, the ends of the sample shall be cut
and removed to a depth of about 25 mm (or more in the top to cover any obviously
disturbed soil). Several layers of molten wax should then be applied to each end to give a
6-83
plug about 25 mm thick. If the sample is very porous a layer of waxed paper should first be
placed over the ends of the sample. Any space left between the end of the samples tube
and the top of the wax should be tightly packed with saw dust or other suitable material,
and a close-fitting lid or screwed cap shall be placed on each end of the sample tube. The
lids should, if necessary, be held in position by adhesive tape.
b) A label bearing the number of the sample, borehole number, depth of sample, date etc.,
shall be placed inside the container just under the lid. It shall be placed at the top of the
sample, In addition, the number of the sample shall be painted on the outside of the
container, and the top or bottom of the sample shall be indicated.
c) Undisturbed soil sample tubes shall be placed in a stout wooden box, and packed with moist
saw dust, paper, etc. to prevent damage during transit to the laboratory.
(g) Dispatch of Samples
Samples shall be dispatched to the laboratory as soon as possible after being obtained and
shall not be allowed to accumulate on site. If it appears to the Engineer that there is a
danger of samples deteriorating through further storage, the contractor shall dispatch such
samples as soon as directed by the Engineer.

Contract is exclusive for the use of ADB Borrowers and their project implementing agencies as
provided under the License Agreement dated 9 June 2005 and its amendment to the said
Agreement dated 29 June 2020, and 11 October 2021, between ADB and FIDIC, and, consequently,
no part of this publication may be reproduced, translated, adapted, stored in a retrieval system or
communicated, in any form or by any means, whether mechanical, electronic, magnetic,
photocopying, recording or otherwise, without prior permission in writing from FIDIC, except by the
Employer identified in the contract and only for the exclusive purpose of preparing bidding
documents for ADB-financed contracts.
The standard text of the General Conditions chosen must be retained intact to facilitate its reading
and interpretation by Bidders and its review by ADB. Any amendments and additions to the GCC,
specific to the contract in hand, should be introduced in Section 8 (Particular Conditions of

The Dispute Board may conduct a hearing on the dispute, in which event it will decide on the date and place
for the hearing and may request that written documentation and arguments from the Employer and the
Contractor be presented to it prior to or at the hearing.
Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Employer and the Contractor, the Dispute Board shall have
power to adopt an inquisitorial procedure, to refuse admission to hearings or audience at hearings to any
persons other than representatives of the Employer, the Contractor, and the Engineer, and to proceed in the
absence of any party who the Dispute Board is satisfied received notice of the hearing; but shall have
discretion to decide whether and to what extent this power may be exercised.
The Employer and the Contractor empower the Dispute Board, among other things, to

valuation of the Engineer, relevant to the dispute.
The Dispute Board shall not express any opinions during any hearing concerning the merits of any
arguments advanced by the Parties. Thereafter, the Dispute Board shall make and give its decision in
accordance with Subclause 20.4, or as otherwise agreed by the Employer and the Contractor in writing. If
the Dispute Board comprises three persons:
(a) it shall convene in private after a hearing, in order to have discussions and prepare its decision;
(b) it shall endeavor to reach a unanimous decision: if this proves impossible, the applicable decision
shall be made by a majority of the Members, who may require the minority Member to prepare a
written report for submission to the Employer and the Contractor; and
(c) if a member fails to attend a meeting or hearing, or to fulfil any required function, the other two
Members may nevertheless proceed to make a decision, unless
(i) either the Employer or the Contractor does not agree that they do so, or
(ii) the absent Member is the chairman and he/she instructs the other Members to not make

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Project Description
1. The Government of Nepal (GON) is working towards accelerating the economic
development of the country while redressing regional imbalances and inequalities. Access to
road transport is a significant determinant of economic development and socioeconomic
opportunities. The Government of Nepal requested the assistance of the Asian Development
Bank (ADB) to support the improvement of the east–west highway (EWH). The proposed
project aims to improve the efficiency and adequacy of the transport system by addressing
the deteriorating conditions of road assets, the poor safety of the transport network, and the
limited cross-border connectivity. The project will (i) rehabilitate and upgrade about 0+000-
95+760 kilometers (km) of national highway between Kakarbhitta and Itahari(Labipur)of the
EWH in the southeastern part of Nepal, (ii) improve road safety and road maintenance on
the EWH and (iii) strengthen the capacity of the Department of Roads (DOR) under the
Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport (MOPIT) regarding road safety and road
maintenance.
2. Under SASEC Highway Improvement project (SHIP), total three road sections have been
awarded by Government of Nepal, Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport,
Department of Roads, Project Directorate (ADB) to SOOSUNG Engineering Co. Korea in
association with Environment and Resource Management Consultant, and Tech Studio of
Engineering for preparation of DPR. Hence the design team has focused on expanding all
three proposed subprojects into a four-lane expressway, with the provision of an extra
service lane in main cities, and diversions in places where expansion is not possible.
Moreover, considering the increasing congestion around the city areas, the design team is
also looking into developing overpasses and underpasses especially in the major cities of
the proposed road sections.Except the technical design, environmental study and poverty
assessment and resettlement plan are also theintegral parts of DPR.
3. This Resettlement Plan has been prepared by the Department of Road(DoR) under
theMinistry Physical Infrastructure and Transport (MoPIT). The project will be financed by
the ADB loan.This RP addresses social issues arising out of acquisition of other assets
except land, eviction of squatters and removal of encroachers resulting in the social and/or
economic displacement to households/individuals, either directly or indirectly.The RP is
prepared in compliance with ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement 2009, Nepal Land
Acquisition Act, 1977 and Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy 2015.
4. The subproject involves upgrading and widening of the existing road into four lanes with
intermittent service lanes on both sides, additional road side structures, geometry
improvements, pavement construction with asphalts concrete, drainage improvement,
retaining structures, slope protection/stabilization; bridge construction, works on traffic
management and road safety.
5. According to detailed engineering design, total 62 bridges have been disgned for
construction. Out of them; 14 are RCC bridges, 21are PSCs, 21are box bridges and 6 are
landmark bridges.
6. As per proposed design estimates, the project will affect a total of 297 private structures with
a total 288 households (1,526 persons). Among the total affected households, 10 residential
households (53persons) and 12 commercial households (64 persons) will be fully affected
and need to be vacated. The affected commercial households have been used only for

H. Institutional Arrangement
15. The Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport (MoPIT) will be the executing agency
(EA) and the Department of Roads (DOR) will be the implementing agency (IA) of this
project. A Project Implementation Unit (PIU), stationed in Kathmandu, headed by the Project
Director will be responsible for the overall execution of the project. Second class senior
divisional engineer from DOR will be deputed as Project Manager(PM) who will work as
project in-charge for the IA. The Project Manager will play a crucial role in coordinating with
other line agencies for the verification of affected households and the determination of the
rate of affected assets. The PM will also be involved in resolving the grievances at local or
project office levels.
16. The RP will be implemented by the team of resettlement experts and field-level social
mobilizers hired under the Supervision Consultant (SC). They will be responsible for
confirming and updating the list of affected households and assets, identifying vulnerable
households, preparing the affected household ID cards, supporting DOR in finalizing the
compensation and assistance package for each affected household, facilitating payments,
and preparing and conducting the livelihood training programs for severely affected and
vulnerable persons. The SC team will also be responsible for facilitating the submission and
documenting grievances, setting up an internal monitoring system and baseline, and
conducting a training program to DOR staff on resettlement activities.
I. Implementation Schedule
17. Construction period will be a total of 36 months andis expected to start from the last quarter
of 2022 and will be completed at the end of 2026. Major activities to be carried out prior to
construction activities are: (i) the substantial payment of compensations and other
rehabilitation assistance to the APs and (ii) handing over sections free of encumbrances to
the contractor. Advance actions to accelerate the implementantion of the resettlement plan
are the establishment of the project office, the recruitment of the Project Manager and
supervision consultant resettlement staff, and the establishment of grievance redress
committees. Possession will not be taken until compensation is paid. Information on this
regard will be validated during internal monitoring.
J. Monitoring and Reporting
18. The RP implementation will have internal monitoring systems. Internal monitoring will be the
regular activity of the PIU and supervision consultant will be in charge of implemention of the
RP. The PIU will maintain a record of all transactions in the resettlement database. The
project office will be responsible to keep the record of the baseline, socioeconomic, census
and land acquisition and compensation payment data for field level monitoring.
19. The Department of Road will submit semi-annual internal monitoring reports of the RP
implementation to ADB. The Resettlement expert from supervision consultant will submit
semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB through EA to determine whether the resettlement
goals have been achieved in line with the approved Resettlement Plan.

who lived inside the corridor of impact (CoI) rather than the entire 50-meter radius of
influence (RoI) in order to minimize the impact. The goal of this survey was to determine the
social consequences of the road and bridge construction projects that were undertaken. The
socioeconomic survey team compiled a list of all of the losses that have occurred as a result
of the road building. In addition, all affected dwellings and structures, as well as potentially
affected fruit trees and public properties, were validated during the socioeconomic survey.
The social team used a methodology that included a number of actions such as pre-
questionnaire testing, household interviews, group discussions, data gathering, data input,
and data processing in the course of putting up this study. The majority of the information
was gathered through primary sources such as a household survey questionnaire, a public
meeting, and a focus group discussion.
15. Census survey:The project's affected households were subjected to a census survey in the
month of December 2021 in order to obtain socioeconomic information about them. An
informational household level questionnaire covering information about sources of annual
income, occupation and age groups, education level, vulnerability status, and other relevant
factors is used in the census surveys of APs. The census survey was carried out in
accordance with the precise plan and drawings that had been developed by the technical
team.
16. Affected asset inventory:The resettlement team, with the assistance of the local
community and APs, compiled a list of the impacted assets and their owners who resided
inside the COI's jurisdictional boundaries. In the list included the name of the household's
head, the address, the assets owned, and the ownership status of each property along the
road corridor.

34. The socio–economic survey shows that average annual income of IP HHs is slightly lower
than that of total affected. Table 16s IP income provides the detailed breakdown.Table
below shows total average income.
Table 16: Average Annual Income of the Project Affected People & IPs HHs
35. Poverty Status: According to the Nepal Living Standard Survey (NLSS Survey 2011), an
individual is considered poor if his/her per capita total annual consumptions are below
Rs.35738 at 2020/2021 prices (Rs.19,261 in 2010/11 prices). It has also categorized the
food items and non-food items and the expenses required to be above the poverty line.
Accordingly, the income required for providing adequate calories (2,220 kilocalorie) for an
12
Final Resettlement plan Kakarbhitta-Itahari (Labipur)
average Nepali to be active is Rs.18,041 at 2016 prices (Rs.11,9298 2010/11 prices). For
non-food items, for an average, the average income required is Rs. 11,089 at 2016/17 prices
(Rs.7, 332 at 2016/17 prices).
36. Considering the average HH size of 5.3 for whole project roads, BPL households are those
households whose percapita income is less than 35,738 per household per year.
37. The socio–economic survey of the households shows that about 11 HHs (6.29%) of 175
interviewed households is below the poverty line. Another 93.71% households are found
above the poverty level. Table 17provides the breakdown of income levels of affected
households as per the average annual income range.

42. The Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN) categorizes2 indigenous groups
into 5 broad categories based on their population numbers, living conditions such as literacy,
housing, land holdings, occupation, language and area of residence (i) Endangered Group
(10); (ii) Highly Marginalized Group (12); (iii) Marginalized Group (20); (iv) Disadvantaged
Group (15) and (v) Advanced Group (2). None of the affected Indigenous Peoples’
households are in the Endangered Category, which is the category that the Government of
Nepal considers at risk of extinction. The Table 20 below shows the details of the IP
categorizations.

43. Affected ethnic households share the same income-generation activities as the rest of
affected. Overall, indigenous households have slightlylower socio-economic status than
other non-IP households. Income range above NRs 401000 is45 HHs (65.22%),of NRs
301000-400000 is 11 HHs (15.94%).None of the households surveyed follow a traditional
occupation like hunting, fishing, etc. Affected IP households have the following occupations:
Only 6 IP HHs (8.69%) are below poverty level and 63 IP HHs (91.31%) are above the
poverty level. More details on socio-economic characteristics are provided in Tables 21 and

44. Conclusion:The initiative will have only minor ramifications for ethnic minorities. As a result
of the studies, it was established that households belonging to either the janajati or non-
janajati communities share identical socio-economic characteristics, with the exception of
their national identification as janajatis. Consequently, it is expected that indigenous people
will have no impact intheir cultural identities and the preservation of their resources.

45. In addition to Dalits, who are displaced by the project and have established a number of
settlements, their participation in the project is marginalized. In comparison to other castes,
the socioeconomic level of Dalits is determined to be quite low. According to the population
census of 2001, the population of Dalitswas 21 (2.27%) in the project area. Based on the
survey findings, the socio-economic status of the Dalit communities of the project have been
summarized below.

50. A total of 8 consultations with women mixed with men were conducted at different places of
the project area. One of the most important project benefits perceived by women is that the
road improvement will facilitate access to reach health facilities particularly during
childbearing. Besides, discussions among the women revealed that the improved transport
facilities would greatly benefit their mobility by reducing the travel time. Upon completion the
project, it is expected that there will be proper footpaths, zebra crossings and street lights
and thus it will be safer for pedestrains, commuters and other road users. Similarly,

improvement of the road has been as an opportunity for women engaged in small trade for
selling and purchasing goods as market access will be easy and nearby. Likewise, they have
shown interest to work during costruction phase.

organizations, such as saving and credit cooperative groups, that are devoted to assisting
women in the financial and economic affairs.
58. Women also expressed the hope that if employment opportunities are provided to them, they
will indeed be capable to save the money or invest it towards future initiatives. They are
optimistic that there would be no wage discrimination in the government-sponsored initiative.
Their contributions to the project will also aid in the reversal of the traditional gender roles in
domestic works.
59. Some women were also observed working with different small businesses, like those that
sold fruits and vegetables. These women will also benefit from lower transportation costs
and reduced journey times as a result of the improvement in road conditions.
60. Females are more interested in learning about road safety precautions that have been
implemented in technical design, and they are more concerned about how their children
cross the road. They have also suggested that overhead pedestrian bridges be constructed
in appropriate locations.
61. Other important considerations include the safer road and proper drainage and waste
management which is one of the major priorities of local community. In order to give enough
road access, it is necessary to construct an overheadbridge as well as an underpass. While
making consultations with concerned stakeholders, they stated that there will be no
disruption of business operrations due to the construction of overhead bridge and
underpass. Traffic signals should be installed to alleviate traffic congestion, and pedestrians
should be able to cross the street using zebra crossings. People-friendly public restrooms
should be made to be accessible, especially for female users, so that they may be used
without difficulty. Work on the road project should include provision of employment
opportunities for community members, especially women, as well as skill enhancement
training sessions that will assist them in raising their standard of living, improving their
decision-making abilities, and opening up new possibilities for their future.
62. As a result of the high risk of transmission of infectious diseases such as HIV AIDS among
construction workers, high labor infux in the construction process, high risks of Human and
Women and children trafficking, they should receive extensive awareness in this sensitive
area, in addition to awareness programs on reproductive health and hygiene, STDs, Gender
Based Violence (GBV), and HIV AIDS prevention training.
63. Regarding borrow pits, they are located in public land (government land) as per technical
and environmental report. Hence, resettlement intervention is not needed.

Field-level
Grievance
Committee
The local level GRC committee will be formed at site specific on the
road alignment at each Municipality or Rural Municipality level. For the
Kakrivitta- Itahari (Labipur) road, 1 sub-metro politan city, 13
Municipalities and 3 Rural Municipalities are involved. The APs may
submit their concerns or grievances verbally or in writing to this
Step2
Committee. The committee shall make a field-based assessment to
verify/examine the grievances, if necessary. After proper
examination/verification of the grievances, the Committee will make a
proposed action/decision and the complainants will be informed orally
and in writing within 7 days.
Step3 If the complainant is not satisfied, s/he with the support of the CSC
resettlement specialist will forward the grievances to the project-level
Project-Level GRC. The DoR project manager will play as lead role to settle the
GRC complaint.
Step 4 If the complainant does not accept the project-level Committee decision,
he/she may want to submit directly (in writing) to the ADB’s Resident
Mission or South Asian Transport and Communication Division
Step 5 If the grievances cannot be solved by this level, it will be referred to the
Home Ministry. The Ministry of Home Affairs is normally required to make
decision on a complaint within 15 days, unless further information is
required, or unless the complaint has to be solved in a court of law (e.g.
ownership disputes). The CSC resettlement specialist will assist the
complainant in filing the claim (max- imum 7 days).

81. The specific policy initiatives for the advancement of Adivasi, Janajati and other com-
munities started in 1997. The National Committee for Development of Indigenous
Nationalities was set up to ensure the welfare of Adivasi/Janajati. In 2002, the Parliament
passed a bill enabling the establishment of NFDIN. The NFDIN Act 2002 established the first
comprehensive policy and institutional framework pertaining to Adivasis and Janajatis. The
NFDIN is a semi- autonomous body that acts as the State’s focal point for indigenous policy,
with a mandate to recommend measures to promote the welfare of indigenous groups
paying attention to their so- cial, economic, and cultural rights and requirements.
82. The National Federation of Indigenous Nationalities Act 2002, National Human Rights Action
Plan 2005, Environmental Act 1997, and Forest Act 1993 have also provided for the
protection and promotion of Janajatis‟ traditional knowledge and cultural heritage.
83. The Fourteen Three Year’s Plan included following policies for inclusive development of
Adivasis/Janajatis and other disadvantaged groups: (i) creation of an environment for
social inclusion; (ii) participation of disadvantaged groups in policy and decision making; (iii)
development of special programs for disadvantaged groups; (iv) positive discrimination or
reservation in education, employment; (v) protection of their culture, language and
knowledge; and (vi) proportional representation in development.
F. ADB Indigenous People Standard Requirement (2009)
84. The objective of ADB’s SPS on IPs is to help design and implement projects in a manner
that would foster respect for IPs’ identity, dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, and
cultural uniqueness, as defined by IPs themselves, so that they: (i) receive culturally
appropriate social and economic benefits, (ii) do not suffer adverse impacts as a result of
projects, and (iii) can participate actively in projects that affect them. The SPS uses the term
“IPs‟ in a generic sense to refer to a distinct, vulnerable, social and cultural group
possessing the following characteristics in varying degrees:
(i) Self-identification as members of a distinct indigenous cultural group and recognition
of this identity by others;
(ii) Collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the
project area and to the natural resources in these habitats and territories;
(iii) Customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions that are separate from
those of the dominant society and culture; and
(iv) Distinct language, often different from the official language of the country or re- gion.
85. The IPs’ safeguards in SPS trigger when a project affects the dignity, human rights, liveli-
hood systems, or culture of IPs or affects the territories or natural or cultural resources that
IPs own, use, occupy, or claim as an”ancestral domain‟ or asset.
86. A group that has lost collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral
territories in the project area because of forced severance remains eligible for coverage
under the policy.
87. A proposed project is assigned to one of the following categories depending on the signif-
icance of the potential impacts on Indigenous Peoples:
Category A: A proposed project is classified as category A if it is likely to have
significant impacts on Indigenous Peoples. An Indigenous Peoples plan (IPP),
including assessment of social impacts, is required.
30
Final Resettlement plan Kakarbhitta-Itahari (Labipur)
88. A project’s Indigenous Peoples category is determined by the category of its most sensitive
component in terms of impacts on Indigenous Peoples. The significance of impacts of an
ADB-supported project on Indigenous Peoples is determined by assessing (i) the magnitude
of impact in terms of (a) customary rights of use and access to land and natural resources;
(b) socioeconomic status; (c) cultural and communal integrity; (d) health, education,
livelihood, and social security status; and (e) the recognition of indigenous knowledge; and
(ii) the level of vulnerability of the affected Indigenous Peoples community. The level of detail
and comprehensiveness of the IPP are commensurate with the significance of potential
impacts on Indigenous Peoples.
89. According to discussion with affected people, it is revealed that there is no customary,
traditional, community land system in project affected area. The land is either owned by the
government or by the people. IP groups and other ethnic groups interact and participate in
the broader community activities. However, they also maintain their own local language,
customs and rituals. They also maintain a collective attachment to place, but they do not
consider their land ancestral territories, nor do they claim an indigenous or distinct
attachment to any natural resources. According to affected HHs, only 7 households (3%) of
affected households are IP households (17 are below poverty level and 350 above poverty
level). They share social values, norms and culture, having similar occupations and income-
generation practices. Therefore, a separate indigenous people plan is not required for this
road project. This Resettlement Plan (RP) has addressed the issues of both IP and non-IP
households.
G. Dalit Community in the Context of Nepal
90. Dalits are the most vulnerable groups scattered all over the country with concentration of
some groups in some districts. The socioeconomic status of Dalits in Nepal is very low and
they are often living in basic or even dire and disheveled conditions.
91. The caste-based discrimination is a disgraceful part of the caste system of the Indian
subcontinent since time-immemorial. The National Code of Nepal, implemented in 1854 had
classified all the Nepalese people into four caste hierarchy (Barna) based on their
occupation: 1. Brahmin "Sacred thread wearing", 2. Chhetri “ruling class”, 3. Baisa
"touchable low castes", and 4. Chudra (Dalits) "Untouchables" and 36 castes. The National
Civil Code of Nepal “Muluki Ain”, 1963 was an attempt to reform the system. However, little
is changed in practice, with caste-based discrimination prevailing. The practices of
untouchability remain common and discrimination also exists among Dalits based on their
occupation.
92. The Constitution of Nepal has ensured the Right against Untouchability and Racial Discrimi-
nation (Article 24) as fundamental rights. No person shall be treated with any kind of
untouchability or discrimination in any private or public place on grounds of caste, ethnicity,
origin of community, occupation or physical condition.
93. The Caste Based Discrimination and Untouchability (Offence and Punishment) Act, 2011 is
31
Final Resettlement plan Kakarbhitta-Itahari (Labipur)
the main law that has criminalized the act of caste-based discrimination and untouchability in
any form anywhere. However, the implementation is very weak.

shifting assistance for fully affected resident and commercial structures (equivalent to 10% of
the replacement cost of the structres affected, or the actual cost of shifting whichever is
higher). Except to shifting allowance, fullyaffected residential and commercial property
owners will be entitled to receive subsistence allowances for 90 days and 60 days,
respectively, at the minimum wage rate as per EM.

South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation Highway Enhancement Project (Kakarbhitta-Laukahi) (NEP 52097-003)
In order to attain these objectives, Works should be itemized in the Bill of Quantities in sufficient detail to
distinguish between the different classes of Works, or between Works of the same nature carried out in different
locations or in other circumstances which may give rise to different considerations of cost. Consistent with
these requirements, the layout and content of the Bill of Quantities should be as simple and brief as possible.
Content
The Bill of Quantities should be divided generally into the following sections:
(a) Preamble;
(b) Work Items (grouped into parts);
(c) Day works Schedule;
d) Provisional Sums; and
(d) Summary.
Preamble
The Preamble should indicate the inclusiveness of the unit prices, and should state the methods of measurement
which have been adopted in the preparation of the Bill of Quantities and which are to be used for the
measurement of any part of the works.
Work Items
The items in the Bill of Quantities should be grouped into sections to distinguish between those parts of the
Works which by nature, location, access, timing, or any other special characteristics may give rise to different
methods of construction, or phasing of the Works, or considerations of cost. General items common to all parts
of the works may be grouped as a separate section in the Bill of Quantities.
Day work Schedule
A Day work Schedule should be included only if the probability of unforeseen work, outside the items included in
the Bill of Quantities, is high. To facilitate checking by the Employer of the realism of rates quoted by the
Bidders, the Day work Schedule should normally comprise the following:
(a) A list of the various classes of labor, materials, and Constructional Plant for which basic day work rates
or prices are to be inserted by the Bidder, together with a statement of the conditions under which the
Contractor will be paid for work executed on a day work basis.
(b) Nominal quantities for each item of Day work, to be priced by each Bidder at Day work rates as bid. The
rate to be entered by the Bidder against each basic Day work item should include the Contractor’s profit,
overheads, supervision, and other charges.
Provisional Sums
A general provision for physical contingencies (quantity overruns) may be made by including a provisional sum
in the Summary Bill of Quantities. Similarly, a contingency allowance for possible price increases should be
provided as a provisional sum in the Summary Bill of Quantities. The inclusion of such provisional sums often
facilitates budgetary approval by avoiding the need to request periodic supplementary approvals as the future
need arises. Where such provisional sums or contingency allowances are used, the Contract Data should state
the manner in which they will be used, and under whose authority (usually the Project Manager’s).
Summary
The Summary should contain a tabulation of the separate parts of the Bill of Quantities carried forward, with
provisional sums for Day work, for physical (quantity) contingencies, and for price contingencies (upward price
adjustment) where applicable.
These Notes for Preparing Specifications are intended only as information for the Employer or the person
drafting the Bidding documents. They should not be included in the final documents.
