Access to Central Business District (CBD)
Request for Expressions of Interest (REOI) for Consulting Services for Conceptual Design, Preparation of Bidding Documents and Monitoring Services for the Provision of Access and Traffic Management Measures to Gaborone Central Business District (CBD) World Bank Project ID P102368 Reference no: BW-MTC-86936-CS-QCBS MTC Tender no: MTC 240/5/9/2018-2019 (2) A. INTRODUCTION The Government of the Republic of Botswana through the Ministry of Transport and Communications has received funds from the World Bank through the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) to be used towards the cost of implementing the Botswana Integrated Transport Project (BITP). The Government intends to apply a portion of the funds to engage eligible consulting firms to carryout traffic studies and prepare conceptual designs for possible access and traffic management measures between and within the new and old Gaborone Central Business Districts (CBD). The city of Gaborone is facing a serious challenge in addressing rapidly increasing private vehicle ownership with attendant traffic congestion, poorly managed non-motorised traffic (NMT) and poorly regulated parking management. These challenges are particularly apparent in the central area of the city. A number of studies and project implementation initiatives have been advanced to address these challenges. This consultancy assignment will accordingly need to take into account these studies which are ongoing and those which are completed to thoroughly investigate and come up with long term sustainable solutions for the CBD which could be phased if deemed necessary. As a result of higher traffic flows in Gaborone emanating from the on-going developments within the city, including the new Central Business District, congestion is experienced at most of the major road intersections leading into and outside the new CBD, especially during peak hours. These intersections have been identified as bottlenecks to traffic flow which would otherwise be smooth along the city’s major routes. non-motorised traffic (NMT) between the new and old Central Business District has proved to be a challenge, taking into account the rail and bus terminals adjacent to the CBD. Accidents occur at these intersections and a correlation may be drawn between traffic flow and the number of accidents that occur at these intersections. At the moment there are four routes surrounding the new CBD namely, Nelson Mandela Drive on the eastern side across a railway line, Willie Seboni Road to the north, Molepolole Road to the south and Phillip Matante Drive (an extension of Lobatse Road) on the western side. Vehicular access into the new Central Business District is also a major challenge since it is only accessible through Phillip Matante Drive and Molepolole Road. B. GENERAL SCOPE OF THE SERVICES The primary objective of the scope of the consulting services is to carryout traffic studies and prepare conceptual designs for possible access and traffic management measures between and within the new and old Central Business Districts (CBD). There are currently four routes surrounding the CBD namely Willie Seboni Road, Phillip Matante Drive, Molepolole Road and Nelson Mandela Drive. More specifically the consultant shall prepare conceptual designs and bidding documents for appropriate long-term solutions which can be implemented based on Design Build and Transfer methodology, to provide access and improved traffic flow. The Consultant shall study different technical solutions for the CBD access points and suitable traffic management measures and prepare three (3) conceptual design options for each proposed linkage or traffic management measure with the intention of providing improved connectivity into and out of (as well as within) the Central Business District. Once the preferred technical option for each access point has been approved by the Client, the Consultant shall prepare the concept design and draft the bidding documents for implementation of proposed linkages and traffic management measures. The Consultant shall also assist in conducting pre-bid meetings, responding to queries of bidders, evaluation of bids, selection of a Contracting Entity and preparation of the civil works contract. The Consultant might also continue with the monitoring/supervision services of the civil works, under a separate contract, upon providing satisfactory services under this assignment and approval by the Client. The downstream assignment will broadly include proof checking on the design and shop drawings prepared by the Contracting Entity, monitoring the construction works under Design, Build and Transfer principles and supporting the Client during the Defect Liability Period. The conceptual design studies are aimed at providing the Employer with adequate data obtained from reliable investigations and studies which will eliminate any inconsistencies and uncertainties in the preparation of the final design by the Contracting Entity based on Design-Build and Transfer (DBT) methodology. All utilities, right of way (ROW) constraints and all other constraints must be identified during this study and prior to the preparation of detailed design and shop drawings, which will eventually be prepared by the Contracting Entity. The Contracting Entity will be expected to relocate all utilities before commencing construction. C. EXPRESSION OF INTEREST & INFORMATION Consulting firms are invited to submit Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for this selection, which shall respond to the following qualification criteria: • Extensive knowledge of Design Build and Transfer methodology. • Expertise in carrying out urban road designs and traffic management plans, conceptual designs for urban road within congested and compact areas taking into consideration the needs of pedestrians and NMT in general and public transport. • Demonstrate experience in working with urban transport model which will facilitate modal interface within the CBD • The firm should have previously executed the minimum of three (3) similar assignments D.

RE-ADVERTISENENT REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (CONSULTING SERVICES – INDIVIDUAL SELECTION) BOTSWANA INTEGRATED TRANSPORT PROJECT: LOAN NO. 7713-BW Assignment Title: Transport Modeler for the Botswana Integrated Transport Project (BITP) Reference No. (as per Procurement Plan): BW-MTC-30524-CS-IND Background The Government of the Republic of Botswana has received financing from the World Bank (WB) toward the cost of the Botswana Integrated Transport Project (BITP), and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services. The BITP is aimed at improving the management of the transport sector. The initiative covers all transport modes and aims to promote better integration across the various transport subsectors and with the other economic sectors and promotes regionalization. Modernizing the entire transport system will require modern operational capacity in public administration, transport sector management, the building of implementation and maintenance capacity, improvement of the interregional transport infrastructure and increased private sector participation. National Multimodal Transport Master Plan (NMMTMP)/ Greater Gaborone Transport Master Plan (GGMMTMP) The NMMTMP/GGMMTMP started in 2014 and is expected to finish in 2018, it will provide the main tool for transport planning in the country. It covers all modes of transport and regional as well as national transport. The planning horizon is 2036 to align with the National Vision 2036 of Botswana. The work on the plans is entirely outsourced to consultants. The aim of the assignment is to set up a process in plan preparation and not only to prepare one plan. Transport Modelling One of the main NMMTMP/GGMMTMP tasks is the preparation of Multi-Modal Transport Demand Forecasting Models for each plan. The two models are also being prepared by the consultants who are engaged by the Ministry of Transport & Communications (MTC). The models that are being developed are proprietary to the transport modelling sub-consultant involved in the planning project. Because of this the model is likely not to have the requirements needed for expediting a standardised national transport modelling resource. Transport Modelling Capacity The MTC is expected to set up a new Department/Unit of Transport Policy and Planning (DTPP) within which there will be transport modelling Unit (TMU). The new unit will have the functions of transport modelling and transport database management with the internal capacity to provide related services to the rest of the sector. This would considerably enhance the planning capacity in line with the objectives of the BITP.

In pursuit of this, the Government of Botswana through the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MT&C), together with the World Bank (WB), is currently in the process of implementing the Botswana Integrated Transport Project [BITP] designed to assist in the restructuring, modernising and, provision of the planning necessary for the entire transport system into the future. The purpose of this assignment is therefore; to investigate the current challenges faced by the industry, draft a road map on how the industry can be developed and recommend to both address any capacity gaps and to assist the development of the industry. Project Objective The purpose of this assignment is to investigate the current challenges faced by the industry, draft a road map on how the industry can be developed and recommend to the Client both how to address any capacity gaps and assist the development of the industry through the implementation of training programs suited to address the recommendations.

In addition, please refer to the following specific information on conflict of interest related to this assignment: Conflict of Interest 1.9 Bank policy requires that consultants provide professional, objective, and impartial advice and at all times hold the client’s interests paramount, without any consideration for future work, and that in providing advice they avoid conflicts with other assignments and their own corporate interests. Consultants shall not be hired for any assignment that would be in conflict with their prior or current obligations to other clients, or that may place them in a position of being unable to carry out the assignment in the best interest of the Borrower. Without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, consultants shall not be hired under the circumstances set forth below: (a) Conflict between consulting activities and procurement of goods, works, or non-consulting services (i.e., services other than consulting services covered by these Guidelines8): A firm that has been engaged by the Borrower to provide goods, works, or non-consulting services for a project, or any affiliate that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with that firm, shall be disqualified from providing consulting services resulting from or directly related to those goods, works, or non-consulting services. Conversely, a firm hired to provide consulting services for the preparation (before Loan effectiveness) or implementation of a project, or any affiliate that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with that firm, shall be disqualified from subsequently providing goods, works, or services (other than consulting services covered by these Guidelines) resulting from or directly related to the consulting services for such preparation or implementation. This provision does not apply to the various firms (consultants, contractors, or suppliers) which together are performing the Contractor’s obligations under a turnkey or design and build contract. (b) Conflict among consulting assignments: Neither consultants (including their personnel and sub-consultants), nor any affiliate that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with that firm, shall be hired for any assignment that, by its nature, may be in conflict with another assignment of the consultants. As an example, consultants assisting a client in the privatization of public assets shall neither purchase, nor advise purchasers of, such assets. Similarly, consultants hired to prepare Terms of Reference (TOR) for an assignment shall not be hired for the assignment in question. (c) Relationship with Borrower’s staff: Consultants (including their experts and other personnel, and sub-consultants) that have a close business or family relationship with a professional staff of the Borrower (or of the project implementing agency, or of a recipient of a part of the loan) who are directly or indirectly involved in any part of: (i) the preparation of the TOR for the assignment, (ii) the selection process for the contract, or (iii) the supervision of such contract may not be awarded a contract, unless the conflict stemming from this relationship has been resolved in a manner acceptable to the Bank throughout the selection process and the execution of the contract. (d) A consultant shall submit only one proposal, either individually or as a joint venture partner in another proposal. If a consultant, including a joint venture partner, submits or participates in more than one proposal, all such proposals shall be disqualified. This does not, however, preclude a consulting firm to participate as a sub-consultant, or an individual to participate as a team member, in more than one proposal when circumstances justify and if permitted by the RFP. Consultants may associate with other firms in the form of a joint venture or a sub-consultancy to enhance their qualifications or engage expects. Interested firms must organize their Expression of Interest in the following order: Chapter 1; i) Company Profile, ii) Legal Status (Certificate of Incorporation), iii) Letter of intent of Association, if necessary, iv) organizational chart, a list of Board of Directors, and beneficial ownership.
