1. INTRODUCTION
The contract concerns wastewater infrastructure works to be executed in and around the
sub-cities of Bole and Yeka in Addis Ababa. Majority of proposed works are located in a busy
urban environment, including major public roads which experience a high volume of
pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
The elevation of eastern catchment ranges from 2610m above sea level in the mountainous
areas to the north of the catchment to 2250m in the flat areas to the south. The site
topography varies from areas of flat topography to those with continuous steep gradients in
places. Additionally, some of the works are located through or adjacent to steep
embankment and/or sudden changes in elevation.
The site includes a combination of public and privately-owned lands. Many of the proposed
working areas are located close proximity to existing structures, many of which are
unplanned, and many of whose structural integrity cannot be guaranteed. The existing site
also includes a large volume of existing utility infrastructure, comprising water, wastewater,
electrical and communications utilities, which serve the city of Addis Ababa.
