| Overview : Project Title
Typhoon Recovery and Resilience in the Visayas (TRRV): Waste Management Component B.
Project Description
On 08 November 2013, when category 5 Typhoon Haiyan, locally known as Yolanda, made landfall in the eastern Visayas, It caused extensive damage to life, housing, livelihoods and infrastructure across nine of the Philippine’s poorest provinces. It is the most powerful storm ever recorded. Rain fell at rates of up to 30 mm per hour, winds reached upwards of 315 km/h and massive storm surges up to 5-6 meters high hit coastal areas. The islands of Leyte and Samar were hardest hit: 90 percent of the infrastructure of Leyte’s largest urban centre, Tacloban City, was destroyed.
Typhoon Haiyan flattened villages, towns and cities. Over one million houses, government administrative and social service facilities have been totally or partially destroyed, creating massive amounts of debris, with nearly one million tons in Tacloban alone. Removing the debris, extraction and management of recyclables, management of municipal solid waste and hazardous waste in a sustainable manner is a necessary condition to start or facilitate immediate, medium- and long term recovery and development.
UNDP's Waste Management Component (WMC) is designed to address:
- Interim/ emergency rehabilitation of critical waste management infrastructure;
- Establishment of new landfills (where resources permit); and
- The strengthening of the capacity of LGUs in waste management;
- Through funding received from one of UNDPs donors, engineered landfills will be established in Basey and Guiuan (both southern Samar).
Two (2) National Consultants with a background in civil engineering, landfill planning and construction and municipal solid waste management will be hired to assist in project implementation.
Objectives of Assignment
The Assignment is aimed at supporting the introduction of effective efficient solid waste management services through the provision of new infrastructure including sanitary landfills.
The two National Landfill Design Engineers (NLDE) will create the design documents, draft procurement documents and/or implementation plans, and will carry out the construction supervision (through a construction company or with/through the municipal services).
This will be done in collaboration with, and under the supervision of, the UNDP Waste Management team and/or the incoming Korea-UNDP project team.
The two National Landfill Design Engineers will work closely with the local counterparts (DENR/EMB and City Engineers/City ENROs of Basey and Guiuan) to ensure they remain fully informed and involved with all construction activities.
Each of the two National Landfill Design Engineers will be responsible for the planning, construction supervision etc. of one of the landfills in Basey and in Guiuan.
The planned activities and outputs for the assignment include, but are not limited to, the following:
Scope of Work / Expected Outputs and Deliverables
Under the direct supervision of the Project Waste Management Team, the two National Landfill Design Engineers will carry out the tasks and provide outputs and deliverables which include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advise and consult the UNDP WMC team on all matters related to design, tender, construction, and construction supervision;
- Assess different implementation modalities for all or part of the works to be undertaken (tendering; direct sub-contracting; direct implementation; implementation through municipal services);
- Produce concepts, calculations, draft detailed engineering designs (DED) including design drawings, as well as bid documents including Terms of Reference and Bills of Quantities for Basey and Guiuan landfills;
- Oversee and manage contractors or partners appointed to construction works;
- Monitor performance of the Construction Contractors (CC) against TOR, BOQ and conditions of contract. Assist with preparation of contract variations if necessary;
- Monitor performance of CC against agreed work plans / schedules, cash-flow forecasts, Quality Assurance (QA) plans, safety management plans, environmental control plans etc.;
- Produce a landfill Operation & Maintenance Manuals (O&M);
- Carry out staff training and testing / commissioning of landfills.
- Review draft concepts and detailed technical planning submissions;
- Review Terms of Reference (ToR), Bills of Quantities (BOQs), technical specifications and tender documents;
- Review and clear Construction Contractor and partners invoices, verify and certify quantities by on-site measurements.
- Participate in tendering; including technical and financial bid evaluation process, review recommendations for contract award.
- Review and approve consultant supervision and construction team submissions;
- Report on the construction and construction supervision teams quality and progress:
- Progress update for each site
- Conduct regular site inspections for all active construction sites
- Participate in Site Meetings including preparation of meeting minutes)
- QA testing and general implementation of QA plans
- Prepare monthly site reports
- Liaise with the local government, City Engineer/City ENRO/EMB, consultants, contractors and community during all phases of the projects.
- Support UNDP and LGU during the defects notification phase.
Institutional Arrangement
The National Landfill Design Engineer will work under the supervision the Project Manager through the WMC, which is located in Tacloban, Province of Leyte, Philippines.
Duration of the Work
The duration of the work will 6 months initially, extendable once the new donor funding is confirmed and this up to 18 months. The duration results from the necessity to continuously provide engineering skills and knowledge to the LGUs during the
Phase I: concept and design phase (approximately 4 months),
Phase II: approval and procurement phase (approximately two months),
Phase III: construction phase (approximately 9 months) and
Phase IV: early operation and defects notification phase (3 months).
The National Landfill Design Engineer will ensure that the construction works are carried out as planned by her/him, that the landfill is being operated according to the concept, design and construction, and that the LGU training reflects the operational requirements of the landfill.
