for Flood Control and River Improvement
A. INTRODUCTION
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is seeking to develop its pipeline projects
nationwide for implementation and/or possible external financial assistance in their
implementation. As part of the initial stage in the project development cycle, master planning and
feasibility studies assessing the technical, economic, environmental, and social impacts of the
project are required.
The proposed conduct of data gathering, preliminary surveys and investigations, and economic
evaluation for the feasibility study of this project is envisaged to be undertaken by a local
consultant to be outsourced by the DPWH Regional Office III, with the assistance of the Unified
Project Management Office – Flood Control Management Cluster (UPMO-FCMC). The output of the
consulting service shall be the conduct of the Master plan and Feasibility Study for the proposed
flood risk management and river improvements for Malolos/Kalero River.

3.1.1 Survey Operations, Requirements and Submittal of Plans:
Page 118 of 169
All requirements of surveys not expressly specified herein shall be
supervised by registered Geodetic Engineers and conform to the
provisions laid by the manual for Land Surveys in the Philippines (Land
Administrative Order No. 4, BL) and Design Guidelines, Criteria and
Standards (DGCS) 2015 Edition of DPWH Volume 2B, Part 1 and/ or
Reference Manual for Surveys and Investigation of Public Works and
Highway Projects.
The Consultant shall submit the Topographic and Hydrographic Plans in

A1 size paper together with all survey information/ data recorded to the
implementing office. Once approved, the plans shall be stored in
electronic format and submitted to the implementing office.
The review and approval of the said survey plans by DPWH do not relieve
the consultant from responsibility for the accuracy of the survey works
and permanency of the horizontal and vertical ground controls and
reference stations due to improper placement.
3.2 Profiles of the River
Profile shall be taken along the centerline, deepest riverbed and along the left and
right bank of the stream, all through-out the required length of the stream as

3.3.2 Benefits to be derived will include, among others, the following:
a. Reduction of loss of lives and damage to properties (agriculture,

private and public), and
b. Increased economic activity directly induced by the project i.e. net
value added of increased agricultural production or induced tourism
benefits vis-à-vis generated flood free benefits
Benefit and cost estimation of the structures shall be carried out by the Consultant
to determine the viability of the project.
3.3.3 In general, the economic analysis will be performed on a “with project”

and “without project” scenarios by the determination among other
things, relevant economic indicators and their consideration as they
affect project implementation. These indicators include, inter-alia, the
following for both individual project items on a whole and where
necessary, incremental analysis: (i) Internal Rate of Return; (ii) Net
Present Value; (iii) Benefit-Cost Ratio; and (iv) First Year Benefit-Cost
Ratio
Page 119 of 169
3.3.4 The Consultant shall use appropriate opportunity cost of capital (12%
and 15%) on the various project components with a view to determine
the size and timing of the execution of the project. The Consultant shall
compare the estimated economic costs (as distinct from the financial
costs) with the benefits expected to accrue (for economic life of the flood
control structures) from the proposed alternative improvement levels.
3.3.5 Shadow prices shall be applied in economic evaluation analysis for both
costs and benefits. However, the economic costs, benefits and economic
feasibility indicators shall be presented with and without shadow pricing
elements. The consultants shall solely be responsible for these analyses
but they should consult with the National Economic Development
Authority (NEDA. All economic indicators and all basic parameters (i.e.
flood security, project costs, etc.) will be subjected to sensitivity analyses
of sufficient range and detail to permit rational examination of possible
implementation alternatives (both of a scale and timing).
3.3.6 Social benefits will also be defined and quantified to the extent possible
and both quantifiable and non-quantifiable benefits will be discussed in
the light of their importance to the national economy and socio-economic
objectives of the Government, with particular emphasis to the areas
influenced by the river. In this context due consideration should be given
to the social, environmental and economic impact of the flood mitigation
projects to:
a. The identification of beneficiaries

b. Relative income status and socio-economic characteristics of the
beneficiaries
c. Pattern of distribution of benefits
d. Any other element having important influence on the well-being of
the population in the project areas. In particular, the Consultant will
provide a clear distribution of these benefits which are expected to
accrue to small farmers (including tenants) and landless labor and
other underprivileged groups such as in the form of improved security
of life, reduced damages to properties, agriculture, increased
employment and mobility.
3.3.7 Economic indicators shall also be shown including efficiency pricing. In-
depth review and evaluation of the relevant information in this regard on
the evaluation and the methodology used, and its effect on scope, timing
and scale of the recommended feasible river improvement in this study

financial terms) to reduce cost over runs in the succeeding phase of the
project.
3.4 Geological and Geotechnical Investigations/ Surveys

the basis of geotechnical investigations performed (and also utilizing all
Page 120 of 169
available data), provide appropriate recommendations and design criteria
to permit proper foundation design;
3.4.2 Undertake geotechnical investigations including soils and materials

survey, taking into consideration:
▪ Analysis and testing on disturbed and undisturbed soil samples,

pavement samples as well as construction material samples,
3.4.3 Undertake at five hundred (500) meters apart, deep drilling with
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) considering;
▪ Minimum depth shall be determined based on the confirmation of

hard strata or bedrock, and/or maximum depth of fifteen (15)
meters;
▪ Drilling can be stopped after three (3) meters penetration into hard
strata or bedrock, and
