Section 7. Terms of Reference

for Engineering Design and Procurement Support
for Dhaka Metro Line 5 (South) Project

I. Project Background

1. General background. An efficient transportation system with good inter and intra city
linkages is essential to ensure Dhaka’s position as a functional city with population of more
than 15.9 million. Present transport system in the city is chaotic in terms of traffic congestion,
pollution, accident, inefficient travel time. A huge number of modes of motorized and non-
motorized traffic are observed everywhere on roads. The number of automobiles has steadily
increased for the last decades. The city needs to provide efficient public transport infrastructure
to address the growing population, vehicles and economic activities.

2. Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network in Dhaka has been proposed as critical measures to
mitigate the serious traffic congestion and improve economic efficiency in the area. Strategic
Transport Plan (STP) was formulated by the Dhaka Transport Coordination Board (DTCB)
under the technical assistance by the World Bank in 2005; STP emphasized necessity of a
modern, clean, efficient system which will create a high level of service covering the whole
metropolitan area and reaching out to the new communities in an integrated manner. Based on
the STP study, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) conducted Dhaka Urban
Transport Network Development Project (DHUTS) in 2010 and the Revised Strategic Transport
Plan (RSTP) in 2015. The concept of urban transport development under RSTP is to set up
satellite regional centers to reduce the population density in central business district (CBD) and
to connect CBD with the satellite cities by MRT and/or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). RSTP
proposed 5 MRT lines and 2 BRT lines as shown below. RSTP was approved as an official
transport plan in August 2016 by Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges. In line with RSTP,
JICA has conducted preparatory studies (feasibility studies [FS]) for three MRT lines in Dhaka:
MRT Line 1, Line 5 (North) and Line 6. JICA is currently supporting construction of Line 6,
and engineering designs for Line 1 and Line 5 (North) through ODA loans.

3. Dhaka Metro Line 5 (South). Meanwhile, the Asian Development Bank (ADB)
approved the Project Preparatory Technical Assistance (PPTA) for Dhaka Metro Project in
December 2015 to assess the RSTP and prepare a priority metro project for investment by ADB.
While waiting for the Government’s endorsement of the PPTA, JICA started in June 2016 a
feasibility study for Line 1 and Line 5 (North). Given the emerging development, the scope,
schedule and implementation of the PPTA needed to be adjusted; the Government requested
ADB to conduct a pre-feasibility study on Line 5 (South), which is the remaining part of Line
5 not covered by the JICA study, for preparation for ADB’s Project Readiness Financing (PRF)
and future investment project.

4. Under the PPTA, a consulting team was recruited to conduct a pre-FS for Dhaka Metro
Project of Line 5 (South) (the Project) in May 2018. The objectives of the study are to formulate
a proper project that is feasible in view of technical, economic, financial, social, and
environment aspects. The study covers (i) confirmation of priority of the proposed Line 5
(South) among the other MRT lines; and (ii) preparation for pre-FS including demand forecast,
operational parameters, preliminary engineering and cost estimates, economic and financial
evaluation, and safeguards consideration.

5. The total length of the Project is about 17.4 km between Gabtoli station and Dasherkandi
station with an underground section of about 12.8 km and an elevated section of about 4.6 km
with 12 underground and 4 elevated stations; a depot accommodating rolling stocks and
operational facilities for Line 5 (South) is planned near the east end of the Project at
Dasherkandi station area. Line 5 (South) will be connected with Line 5 (North) at Gabtoli
station, both of which will serve as east-west corridors and make it possible to transfer with
north-south running MRTs/BRTs at several stations. Through-services between the two lines
of North and South of Line 5 may be considered for the extension section of Line 5 (North).
There will be 15 stations (including future stations at the east end but excluding Gabtoli station)
to be constructed under the Project, 11 of which will be underground stations. Two stations at
the most east side will not be operated in the beginning for the current undeveloped surrounding
areas. About 9 km of future extension to the east to Borpa is planned but is not included in the
scope of the Project.

6. Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) under Ministry of Road Transport
and Bridges will be the executing agency of the Project. DMTCL will engage an eligible
consulting firm or a joint venture of consulting firms (Consultant) to conduct consulting
services for Engineering Design of the Project to implement the Project on a basis of “detailed
design and execution” for civil works and “design, supply, and installation (DSI)” for rolling
stocks, and electrical and mechanical system. The service also includes necessary bidding
document preparation and assistance in tender procedures. The Engineering Design services
will be financed by ADB through its loan of “Project Readiness Financing (PRF) for Dhaka
Metro Line 5 (South) Project”.

7. The procurement of all packages including consulting services is to be approved by

applying Paragraph 11. (3) of Public Procurement Rules 2008; thus, procurement will be
approved by DMTCL Board. DMTCL shall not obtain any of the approval of the government’s
Purchase Committee, and the endorsement of the respective ministry pertaining to any

indigenous peoples’ impact in accordance with the Government’s policies and
regulations, and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS). Identify
whether the project is likely to lead to private land acquisition, thus, impact on
non-titleholders. The screening exercise will also include a due diligence of past
social impacts, viz., if land acquisition has been accomplished in anticipation of
the ADB project. The screening shall likewise flag any land acquisition or
ownership issues that that may be directly or indirectly related to the proposed
project, as reputational risks may be present.
2) Identify whether the project will be located in, or pass through, areas of
significant indigenous people’s settlements, and if this is the case propose how

agencies in Bangladesh should be reviewed. After review, draft a resettlement
frameworks (RF) as necessary that meets the Government and ADB policy
compliance standards. The RF should define categories for impact, eligibility of
affected people for compensation and provide an entitlement matrix covering
compensation and other assistance for all types of impacts. The RF should
provide the methodology for the calculation of compensations based on
replacement cost to fully replace the asset. The entitlement matrix should focus
on assistance provided to non-titleholders in the urban context.
5) Should impacts on indigenous peoples be identified during the screening
process, even if indicative, prepare an Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework
(IPPF) as necessary.
6) Both the RF and IPPF should be based on a consultative process with the
executing agency and ADB and draw from broad-level consultations with the
communities likely to be affected by the subprojects.
7) Prepare relevant chapters and appendixes of the feasibility study report on
resettlement and indigenous peoples planning. The appendixes should include
the screening checklist for each subproject; one Resettlement Framework as
necessary; one Indigenous Peoples Framework as necessary (if impacts on

indigenous peoples are identified, an indigenous peoples plan (IPP) in
compliance with the Government’s policies and regulations and ADB's
Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS).
9) Based on the design, determine the legal status of private land within the Right
of Way (RoW), verify application of customary and traditional laws governing
land tenure, usufruct rights, and leasehold. Verify legal boundaries of the RoW
with the relevant ministry.
10) Based on the design, conduct census survey of all affected people (APs) and an
Inventory of Lost Assets.
11) Conduct a socioeconomic assessment of all APs residing/using the corridor of
impact to collect data on family composition, details on age and sex of all the
household members, income levels and occupational pattern, vulnerability
status, legal ownership status of land (private, traditional and customary rights,
lease), asset occupancy status and skills possessed.
12) Assess whether the compensation standards for all types of assets, crops, and
trees are based on replacement cost and describe in detail the valuation
 methodology used. Undertake market surveys to compute replacement value of
land. Mouza index will be considered in conjunction with the full replacement
cost principles as described in ADB’s SPS; the national standard will be
compared and contrasted with ADB involuntary resettlement policy principles
and requirements, and if there is gap between the two, a suitable gap-filling
strategy should shall be proposed.
13) Undertake market survey to assess the rental market in nearby areas to ensure
security of tenure for non-titleholders.
14) Prepare a comprehensive income and livelihood restoration program, supported
by adequate budget, to help APs improve, or at least restore, their incomes and
livelihoods. Identify specific measures for the affected poor, ethnic minorities,
or other vulnerable households.
15) Conduct in-depth consultations with the APs, ensuring the involvement of
women in the process. Consultations should take the form of public meetings,
focus group discussions and one-on-one interviews. Ensure that the consultation
process is well documented and demonstrate how the concerns of the affected
persons are included to the design of the RP.
16) Identify livelihood impacts that emanate from land acquisition and resettlement
and propose mitigating measures after due consideration of consultations with
affected people.
17) Establish a cut-off date for eligibility criteria for the project, including for non-
title holders and ensure and document that it has been publicly disseminated.
18) Prepare overall budget for compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation
assistance.
19) Based on the draft R&R entitlements prepare an appropriate action plan for
additional support required for the vulnerable
20) Organize workshops on draft R&R policy to receive feedback from identified
stakeholders, including implementing agency, line agencies (specifically
revenue, forest, tribal welfare, etc.), NGO and others.
21) Assist the DMTCL to develop a computerized database management system for
recording APs and lost assets. The system should reflect the present impact on
APs and accordingly the entitlements for APs are planned. The system should
be in place from the beginning of the resettlement survey. Also, develop
cadastral mapping of affected plots for construction of new alignments using
inventory map developed under the feasibility study.
22) Assess the capacity of the Government in implementing the proposed RP and
IPP, and recommend improvements and actions required.
23) If impacts on Indigenous Peoples are identified, prepare an Indigenous Peoples'
Development Plan to minimize adverse impacts on tribal communities and to
enhance their access to project benefits on par with others.
24) Prepare relevant chapters and appendixes of the detailed design report on
resettlement and indigenous peoples planning. The appendixes should include
the RP for each project where resettlement impacts have been identified; IPP for
each project, where impacts on indigenous people have been identified.
 25) Should the EA/IA decide to immediately implement the approved (with
concurrence from ADB) resettlement plan, the external monitoring need to be
institutionalized and the external monitoring agent need to be in place.
26) In the ensuing project loan, a social compliance audit shall be undertaken to
identify any past or present concerns related to the impacts of land acquisition
and resettlement and to determine whether actions were in accordance with
applicable social safeguards requirements, including ADB SPS.
