- Description
-
The project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) will advise Hanoi People's Committee on optimizing the counterpart financing of the first light rail transit (LRT) pilot line in Hanoi. The line extends over 12.5 kilometers from Ga Hanoi Station in the city center to Nhon depot West of the city. About 3km will be underground in the city center end of the line and 9.5km will be elevated. It is anticipated to have 15 stations. A preferred solution has been identified by the Hanoi People's Committee based on technical considerations and economic, social and environmental benefits.

The PPTA will contribute, along with complementary bilateral intervention on the first LRT line, to a safe, clean and efficient urban transport system reducing reliance on private modes of travel, contributing to urban livability and accommodating sustainable growth.
The TA will be articulated in two parts: (a) Part I: Optimization of the counterpart financing plan using ADB new financing products and instruments for credit enhancements, multi-tranche financing and local currency financing on sovereign, sub-sovereign or non sovereign basis; (b) Part II: Due diligence on technical, financial, institutional and safeguards compliance with ADB procedures for Environment, Resettlement, and Social Development.

An estimated 30 person-months of consulting services, 14 of international consultants and 16 of national consultants are required. All consultants will be engaged by ADB in accordance with Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (April 2006, as amended from time to time).
Part 1 will be implemented by a team of three international consultants (7 person-months) and two national consultants (4 person-months), who will be engaged as individuals: one specialist in capital market development for 3 person-months, one specialist in guarantees and insurance for 2 person-months, and one legal adviser for 1 person-month, supported by a national legal counsel for 2 person-months and a project adviser for 2 person-months. One of the three individual international consultants selected for Part 1 will be designated as team leader for Part 1 and will be allocated an additional person-month to consolidate the reports from the other two consultants for submission to the Hanoi Peoples Committee and to ADB. The team leader will submit an inception report and detailed work plan for Part 1 within 1 month of the commencement of the PPTA, a midterm report at the end of the third month, and a draft final report in the fifth month.
Part 2 of the PPTA will be carried out by individual consultants (about 7 person-months of international and 12 national) for conducting due diligence of the project feasibility study and safeguard compliance. The consultants will be specialized in (i) environmental assessment (1.5 person-months international and 3 national); (ii) social development and resettlement (3 person-months international and 9 national); (iii) urban transport planning and rail civil engineering and investment planning and operations (1.5 person-months, international); and (iv) institutional, financial, and economic analysis (1.5 person-months, international). Each consultant for Part 2 will be responsible for his/her individual output, and will be coordinated by ADB's task manager for the project.
