GRANT-0361 NEP: Project Preparatory Facility for Energy - E5 Construction Expert Construction Management and Contracts for constructability review QRA and SRA of Dudhkoshi SHEP (E-047036-001)

CE-CMC will work together with a Construction Expert – Engineering Geologist (CE-EG) and Risk Analyst (CE-RA). CE-CMC shall be responsible to conduct required studies, including field visit, review project engineering documents, discussions with Project team, Consultant and other experts, to determine constructability of the Project, determine potential variation in estimate of quantities and construction schedule from a construction perspective. To ensure a unified assessment of site conditions, the CE-CMC shall conduct the site visit concurrently and in close coordination with the CE- EG and CE-RA; however, the specific duration of each expert’s field presence may be adjusted according to their individual technical responsibilities. CE-CMC will discuss and finalize relevant inputs with the CE-EG in finalizing the report on Constructability of the Project and shall provide inputs to the CE- RA on quantity and schedule variations for probabilistic assessments and will specifically review the contract packaging and the implementation risks associated with the use of the FIDIC Emerald Book for Lot 1 and Lot 2. These inputs shall be provided in a workshop that will be led by the CE-RA and shall be conducted at the Project Office together with CE-EG, Project Team and Consultants. CE-CMC will also review the proposed construction methodologies and suggest proposals to construction methodologies and techniques to justify project construction period of 7 years. The CE-CMC shall share technical expertise and knowledge through meetings, consultations and field visits. The CE-CMC shall document the results of each of its visits including the overall conclusions and recommendations. The expert shall maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information which shall not be disclosed to any third parties without the written consent of DKS HEP. The essential details of the Project for this assignment; reports and other details will be provided to the selected consultant. Detailed Tasks and/or Expected Output The detailed tasks and responsibilities for the CE-CMC shall include, but will not be limited to the following works: 1. Review of Project reports regarding design and drawings, construction methodologies, scheduling, cost estimate, calculation of contingencies, etc.; 2. Site visit to assess ground conditions for the proposed studies on constructability, QRA and SRA; 3. Assess if construction techniques proposed for various rock classes are adequate, assign deviation possibilities along the tunnel alignment and at underground powerhouse location. 4. Determine the adequacy of methodology for rock support installation and assign deviation along tunnel alignment and at underground powerhouse location. 5. Determine the adequacy of subsurface investigations at the dam and spillway location for construction purposes. Assign deviation possibilities along the surface and subsurface excavations, abutments, drainage galleries, etc. 6. Assess construction methodology for dam area excavations; 7. Determine the adequacy for construction of 220-m high CFRD, availability of construction materials, construction planning and sequencing; 8. Assess Constructability of the Dam, headrace and tailrace tunnels, underground powerhouse complex and construction technique/methodology. 9. Assess the feasibility and logistics for the transportation of the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) to the project site, including the evaluation of transport infrastructure capacities and constraints. 10. Provide training to the Project team on the industry-standard software utilized for QRA and SRA, as well as the interpretation of its outputs, if required by DKSHEP. 11. Participate in the Constructability and QRA & SRA Workshop. Provide inputs to the QRA and SRA of important project structures - dam, spillway, headrace tunnel, underground powerhouse complex, tailrace tunnel. 12. Conduct assessment of schedule of dam construction and of tunnels using industry-standard software. 13. Provide reports on construction aspects of the works conducted for this assignment and compile the reports from the CE-EG for the final Constructability Report and by the CE-RA for the QRA and SRA reports. With particular reference to pandemic disease outbreaks, any need for international and/or national travel shall be assessed by DKSHEP and the Consultant using DKSHEP's advice at the time of travel. Subject to DKSHEP's approval, the Consultant may use remote video technology meetings to replace face to face meetings as considered necessary. Minimum Qualification Requirements The CE-CMC shall have the following minimum Qualification and Experience: 1. Master’s degree or equivalent in Construction/Project management; 2. At least 20 years General Experience in Hydropower Project (Project Identification, Project Development, Construction Management, Operation and Maintenance) 3.
