| Description | The proposed additional financing will finance cost overruns experienced in the ongoing project and additional scope (tertiary distribution network) to further ensure achievement of project outcome. The proposed additional financing will cover the remaining works of Package 1, and most of the works of Packages 2 and 3.1 which are scheduled to be awarded by the end of 2020. For Package 2, the contract price (ADB fund) is likely to be around $58.8 million, an increase by around 6% from the cost estimate at the appraisal of the ongoing project, which is within a generally acceptable range. For Package 3.1, the technical bid evaluation report is currently under ADB's review. Large cost increase is not anticipated in this package because the bids were based on detailed design and the nature of works are relatively simple. Government has proposed an additional scope, Package 3.2, with estimated cost of $39.3 million. Issuance of invitation for bid of Package 3.2 is targeted in late September 2020, with contract award targeted in June 2021. Again, large cost increase is not anticipated for this package due to the same reasons as mentioned earlier for Package 3.1. The impact, outcomes, and outputs of the overall project will remain the same as the ongoing project, except for (i) additional indicator for Output 1 for Package 3.2, and (iii) additional Output 4 for the ADF grant. |

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The population in Dhaka was around 19.6 million in 2018. It is expected to increase to 28.1 million in 2030, leading to increasing demand for water supply service. Also, average annual ground water depletion in Dhaka in the next 10-12 years is projected to be around 5 meters due to rapid ground water extraction. To address the high dependency on ground water resources, DWASA strategically aims to increase the ratio of surface water resource from current 22% to 70% by end 2021. The overall project is a pivotal investment in DWASA's strategic direction by developing a new surface water supply scheme with Meghna River as water source, which has good water quality and ample quantity even during the dry season. The overall project will also help mitigate the effects of COVID-19 pandemic or other epidemic/pandemic in the future through securing reliable water supply service. | ||||||||||||||||
