- Description
-
The TA will provide consulting and other services to the Urban Metro Preparation Unit to develop plans to implement the first two lines of a proposed MRT system for HCMC. The TA is divided into three parts. Part I will prepare a consolidated MRT network master plan and land use strategy that maximizes MRT use and reflects anticipated demand. Part II will draw up preliminary engineering design and technical and operational standards, with supporting social, environmental, technical, economic and financial appraisals. Part III will propose institutional and implementation arrangements and financing options, introducing and facilitating public- private partnerships and innovative financing approaches. It is anticipated that, subject to the outcome of the TA, before the investment loan ADB will finance detailed engineering design, preparation of tender documentation, and other preparatory activities to support the implementation of the Project.
The TA will review conventional planning, engineering, and institutional techniques. Emphasis will be given to ensuring that the HCMC People's Committee can implement an integrated approach that considers the full range of issues affecting the effective implementation and eventual operation of the project.

-
The Project Preparatory Technical Assistance will advise Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) People's Committee on the integrated development of the first two mass rapid transit (MRT) lines in HCMC. The goal of the MRT is to provide convenient, comfortable, safe, affordable, and clean urban travel that improves the quality of urban living and reduces reliance on private modes of travel.

The TA will be implemented by a consulting firm requiring about 60 international person-months and 100 national person-months of consulting time during calendar year 2007. It is expected that consulting services will be allocated as follows: part I (30%), part II (60%), and part III (10%). The international consulting firm will have expertise in transport and urban planning; demand forecasting; civil, structural, geotechnical, tunnel, mechanical and electrical engineering; rolling stock; rail operations; financial and economic analysis; environmental assessment; resettlement; social assessment; and institutional planning and capacity building. The international consulting firm will be supported by domestic consultants in transport and urban planning; demand forecasting; engineering; institutional arrangements; law; financial and economic analyses; resettlement, environmental and social planning; and translation. The consultants will be engaged by ADB in accordance with its Guidelines on the Use of Consultants.
The TA will use fixed budget selection, taking into account the importance of the project, the need for a high-profile consultant project team, and the fact that the work will take place in a relatively new subsector for ADB. The consulting firm will be asked to produce a simplified technical proposal as (i) the short-listing process will have already established that the firm has outstanding competence in the urban transport sector and in the region; and (ii) the detailed terms of reference mean that only limited input is expected on the methodology and technical approach.
