3. DESIGN PHASE

4. Design Phase (Feasibility Study and Tendering)
Report submissions
Preliminary Assessment Report
Highlights the problems, challenges & deficiencies with its current usage
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Report
Continuous engagement of stakeholders
Compliance with the regulations of the EPA

5. Design Phase (Feasibility Study and Tendering)
Project Selection Report
Appropriate remedy to address problems, taking into account stakeholders need, appropriate standards and guidelines, sound engineering principles of safety, economic benefits verses cost of implementation
Draft and Final Design Report
Comprehensive reports, including drawings, bills of quantities
Pre-bidder Conference

6. Design Challenges Inadequate record Keeping
Loss of institutional Knowledge
Missing road survey plans / road reserve / acquisition
Culture of People / poor enforcement
Inter agency coordination
Underground utilities / structures

7. Design Challenges Site Conditions – Swamp, water
Budget Constraints – availability, most economic (design / supervision / construct)
Weight Control
Competitive pricing – Tendering stage
Attracting new contractors – Tendering stage
Contractor overload – Tendering stage

8. implementation PHASE

9. Construction Stage Reports Project Design Review
Review of design
Review Report of Contractor QA/QC plan
Review contractor’s submission
Monthly Progress Reports
Captures progress of works, issues, etc

10. Construction Stage Work Program Method Statement
To be used by the contractor to plan & execute the works
Initial program (First 3 months)
Accepted Programme (entire work)
Updated Programme (t least on monthly basis)
Method Statement
Same time with programme
General description of the arrangements and methods of construction and temporary works design
The statement should be fully cross-reference to the activities in the programme

11. Implementation Challenges On site
Encroachment on road reserve
Fences
Structures

12. Implementation Challenges On site
Utility Corridor
no corridor
Inadequate planning leads to poor usage

13. Implementation Challenges On site
Limited road reserve
Compromise road geometry
By passes

14. Implementation Challenges On site
Change in elevation
modification to entrances
Drainage issues

15. Implementation Challenges On site
Geological conditions
Poor soil
Buried structures

16. Implementation Challenges Environment
Time lapse between design and implementation
Change in market prices
Shortage of construction material
Culture

19. Implementation Challenges Contractor
Frequent down time
Inadequate human resources
Equipment fleet
Poor planning / lack of planning tools
Procurement of materials
Quality / time Control
Use of Mobilization Advances
Traffic / Safety Management
Social Engagement

20. Recommendations Materials Management Unit (Government level)
Government roster with upcoming work projects in all areas
Better contractor register – Database
Procurement / Evaluation Criteria
Improved Public Relations
Multi stakeholders Committee throughout the project cycle

21. Recommendations Common spatial database for utilities
Review and enforcement of weight control
Establishment of equipment pool – renting of specialised equipment
Value Engineering
