Conduct of Feasibility Study for

Kabulnan -2 Multi-Purpose Irrigation and Power Project

TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR)

for the
Conduct of Feasibility Study (F/S) for the
Kabulnan-2 Multi-Purpose Irrigation and Power Project (K2MIPP)

1. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE

1.1 Contracting Authority

The General Appropriations Act (GAA) of 2014 has allocated the amount of
Four Hundred Million Pesos (PhP400,000,000.00) for the conduct of
feasibility studies (F/S) to be administered by the National Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA).

NEDA shall be the Executing Agency and Contracting Party, while the
National Irrigation Administration (NIA) shall be the Implementing Agency.
The proposed project is consistent with NIA‟s major programs/
projects/activities (PPAs).

1.2 Relevant Country/Sector Context

K2MIPP is supportive of the thrusts of the2011-2016 Philippine Development

Plan (PDP) under Chapter 4 (“Competitive and Sustainable Agriculture and
Fisheries Sector”), particularly the Government‟s goal of improving food
security and increasing rural income by enhancing farm productivity.
Moreover, the project‟s focus on rice production is also expected to
complement the Food Staples Self-Sufficiency Program (FSSP) of the
Department of Agriculture (DA).

The Project is also in line with the sector outcomes under Chapter 10 of the
PDP (“Accelerating Infrastructure Development”) by enhancing the
performance of the irrigation sector and enabling development in the energy
sector.

1.3 Current State of the Irrigation and Power Generation Sectors

Agriculture is one of the major sectors of the economy, which provides jobs to
the labor force and contributes to the gross domestic product (GDP). One of
the primary objectives of the Government of the Philippines (GPH) is to
increase the self-sufficiency rate in rice. Attaining a higher self-sufficiency
rate means increasing rice production. Therefore, the expansion of irrigated
areas to be supplied by the project will help increase rice production, which, in
turn, will increase self-sufficiency rate in rice.

The power generation component of the project will also help in meeting the
demand in the Mindanao power grid where a total of 1,600 megawatts (MW)
additional capacity is seen to be needed in the planning period 2012-2030 to
Page 1 of 32
 Page 2 of 32
Conduct of Feasibility Study for
Kabulnan -2 Multi-Purpose Irrigation and Power Project

meet the electricity demand and the required reserve margin of the grid. The
grid, which, at present, barely meets the demand, does not have the capacity to
produce the required reserve margin. The power generation component of the
project, the feasibility of which is to be confirmed in the F/S updating, is
envisaged to work towards diminishing this supply gap.

1.4 Related Project/Programs and Other Donor Activities

To enable implementation of K2MIPP, updating and validation of the F/S of

the project undertaken in 2007 need to be conducted. The project does not
have any physical or fiscal activities programmed for calendar year (CY) 2014
aside from the F/S updating under the NEDA-administered fund.

2. OBJECTIVE AND EXPECTED OUTPUTS

2.1 Overall Objective of the Project/Study

The objective of the proposal under this TOR is to update and validate the
previously conducted F/S of K2MIPP. The F/S updating and validation shall
cover the technical, economic, and financial aspects of the proposed irrigation
and multipurpose project, including environmental study, vulnerability
assessment, preparation of sustainability plans, and analysis of alternative
financing schemes, among others.

Additionally, the F/S updating and validation shall ensure that value
engineering/value analysis (VE/VA)1 is undertaken with regard to the
selection of the best possible implementation/project options/configurations
for the project (may include new available technology which can be used to
deliver the project or component/s of the project), to ensure that the best
scheme for providing the project‟s intended outputs will be selected, which
would yield the highest value-for-money (VfM), as articulated in the Scope of
Works under Section 3 below.

It is noted that the development/construction of the hydropower component of

the project may be suitable for Public-Private Partnership (PPP). If found
viable under this TOR for private sector implementation, the feasibility of
undertaking a specific PPP modality to implement the hydropower component,
including the preparation of the PPP transaction, shall be undertaken under a
separate study, given that the F/S Fund administered by NEDA only covers
non-PPP projects. However, the technical, environmental, social, market,
demand, and other aspects of the hydropower component shall already form
part of this TOR, e.g., a business case study.

2.2 Expected Output of the Study

By the end of the contract period under this TOR, the Consulting Firm is
expected to produce a comprehensive F/S based on updated information, with

definite implementation plan of the recommended scheme based on the

alternatives/configurations/technologies considered, among others, including
the preliminary engineering designs and the most appropriate financing
scheme.

3. SCOPE OF THE WORKS

3.1 General Scope of Works

The scope of work of the Consulting Firm under this TOR shall include, but
not necessarily be limited to, the following:

3.1.1 Undertake macro-level assessment of existing situation in the project

area/basin including the following, among others:

a. Assessment of the socio-economic conditions, and

performance of the agriculture sector in the basin and the
whole province where the project will be located over the past
ten (10) years with a focus on the past five (5) years. Describe
the contribution of K2MIPP to the economy of the province of
Maguindanao and the whole of the ARMM. Include in the
assessment the: source of income and employment, production
patterns and trends, access to markets, crops production and
demand, and equity.

b. Identification of problems and known causes and effects on

agriculture performance, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,
and threats to the development of the basin. Causes of
problems may include, among others, policy issues (e.g.,
incentive structures), institutional (e.g., structures and
capacity), health and governance issues, and investment issues
(e.g., low or poor quality) that affect agriculture production and
productivity. Identify key performance indicators and trends
such as incomes, productivity, and other social indicators.

3.1.2 Undertake necessary feasibility level studies, institutional analysis,

environmental assessment, resettlement considerations, design and
monitoring framework, VE/VA study, vulnerability assessment,
identification and assessment of borrow/quarry areas, and preliminary
engineering designs necessary in conjunction with beneficiaries and
other stakeholders to establish the viability of investment in terms of
the economic, financial, technical, etc. aspects.

The F/S shall look at alternative options, including the associated

costs, benefits and risks involved, in delivering the project or
components of the project (may include new available technology
which can be used to deliver the project or component/s of the project),
and selecting the best possible implementation/project
options/configurations/technology involved, for the:(i) entire irrigation
and hydropower system (for example, either high dam, series of
Page 3 of 32
 Page 4 of 32
Conduct of Feasibility Study for
Kabulnan -2 Multi-Purpose Irrigation and Power Project

cascading small dams, combination of high dam and small cascading

dams, high dam with penstock for implementation of the hydropower
generation component at a later date as a separate project, or small
water impounding reservoirs within the service area, among others),
either as an integrated system, or considering the irrigation system
separately (in case the hydropower component is not found feasible);
and (ii) individual components of the irrigation system or of the
integrated irrigation and multipurpose system. This would ensure that
the best scheme for providing the project‟s intended outputs will be
selected, which would yield the highest VfM, e.g., lowest
lifecycle/whole-of-life costs, taking into account all alternative ways of
delivering the desired outputs and enhancing the primary outputs by
considering other incidental benefits (e.g., provision of water supply
source and flood management in the overall scheme). The Consulting
Firm shall select the best alternative and/or project components that
would most appropriately respond to the project objectives and output,
and yield the highest VfM, e.g., lowest lifecycle/whole-of-life costs.

The VE/VA study shall also include an analysis of alternative

financing schemes, e.g., whether full National Government (NG)
funding, Official Development Assistance (ODA), or PPP, including an
analysis of financing risks.

The analysis of alternative financing schemes shall consider various

implementation options, e.g., irrigation component implemented
separately from the hydropower component (if hydropower is not
found viable to implement); integrated irrigation and power generation
component (if feasible); irrigation component with penstock
implemented first and hydropower component to be implemented as a
separate project; etc.

3.1.3 Prepare feasibility level outputs documenting the viability of the

project works, including the hydropower component with cost of
transmission and distribution lines including right-of-way (ROW),
while adequately addressing hazards and risks, environmental issues,
and resettlement issues, outlining in detail the implementation
arrangements. The technical, environmental, institutional, social,
market, demand, and other aspects of the hydropower component (e.g.,
a business case study) shall also be included.

Further, the existing institutional arrangements regarding the

development, construction, operation, and management of the
hydropower component shall be investigated by the Consulting Firm,
including the institutional linkages between NIA and other relevant
agencies on development and implementation of the hydropower
component.

3.1.4 During the contract period, conduct coordination meetings with NIA
and NEDA to: (a) discuss the progress of the work and preliminary
output; (b) give the Government the opportunity to make comments
Page 4 of 32

Conduct of Feasibility Study for

10.3 An advance payment shall be made to cover mobilization costs, but shall not
exceed TEN PERCENT (10%) of the contract amount, subject to the posting
of an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by an entity acceptable to
NEDA and of an equal amount to the advance payment. The advance
payment shall be repaid by the Consultant by deducting from his subsequent
billings/payments such sum as agreed upon during contract negotiations until
fully liquidated within the duration of the contract.

10.4 Since all of these payments shall be subject to the usual government
accounting and auditing requirements, the Consulting Firm is expected to be
familiar with the Government Accounting and Auditing Manual (GAAM).

11. RETENTION PAYMENT

A retention payment of ten percent (10%) shall be withheld. It shall be based on the
total amount due to the Consulting Firm prior to any deduction and shall be retained
from every progress payment until fifty percent (50%) of the value of study, as
determined by NEDA, are completed. If, after fifty percent (50%) completion, the
study is satisfactorily done and on schedule, no additional retention shall be made;
otherwise, the ten percent (10%) retention shall be imposed.

The total "retention money" shall be due for release upon approval of the Final
Report. The Consulting Firm may, however, request the substitution of the retention
money for each progress billing with irrevocable standby letters of credit from a
commercial bank, bank guarantees, or surety bonds callable on demand, of amounts
equivalent to the retention money substituted for and acceptable to NEDA, provided
that the project is on schedule and is satisfactorily undertaken. Otherwise, the ten
percent (10%) retention shall be made. Said irrevocable standby letters of credit,
bank guarantees and/or surety bonds, to be posted in favor of NEDA shall be valid for
the duration of the contract.

12. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Where the Consulting Firm refuses or fails to satisfactorily complete the work within
the specified contract time, plus any time extension duly granted and is hereby in
default under the contract, the Consulting Firm shall pay NEDA for liquidated
damages, and not by way of penalty, an amount, as provided in the conditions of
contract, equal to at least one tenth (1/10) of one (1) percent of the cost of the
unperformed portion of the works for every day of delay. Should the amount of
liquidated damages reaches fifteen percent (15%) of the contract amount, NEDA shall
at its own discretion terminate the contract without prejudice to any further action it
may take to recover whatever losses incurred due to non-performance of the
Consulting Firm.

To be entitled to such liquidated damages, NEDA does not have to prove that it has
incurred actual damages. Such amount shall be deducted from any money due or
which may become due the Consulting Firm under the contract and/or collect such
liquidated damages from the retention money or other securities posted by the
Consulting Firm whichever is convenient to NEDA.
