REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST MON/3787/3788 SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
2020-01-15

 Project Overview:

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved $38 million in loans to develop ecotourism in Khuvsgul Lake National Park and Onon-Balj National Park to serve as models for economically inclusive development and conservation in Mongolia. The project will help transform two national parks in Khuvsgul and Khentii aimags (provinces) as models for economically inclusive tourism and conservation in the protected area network, by improving park infrastructure, sanitation, and capacity to manage tourism growth sustainably. The designs emphasize tourism benefits for communities, protection of natural capital, and climate-resilient facilities; and scale up from previous grant projects in each park.

Scope of work

  1. Prepare traffic and road management plans for the KLNP and OBNP, based on the guiding principles established in the project preparation phase, for integration in the park management plans and soum development plans.
  2. Prepare draft, and then final draft, DEDs for the following civil works. At the KLNP: (a) construction of a 2 km road link (Khatgal main road to Khatgal-Jankhai-Toilogt gravel road), and eight car parks; (b) upgrading of 35.9 km of unsealed roads; (c) upgrading 15 km of trails; (d) two fee collection stations (at the southern and northern entrances of the KLNP, at Khatgal Town and Khankh Soum respectively); and (e) one road control station (8 m2) (at the Toilogt end of the Khatgal-JankhaiToilogt road, to regulate public vehicle access to the scenic road between Toilogt and Chuchu, in the summer tourist season). At the OBNP: (a) upgrading of a 2.6 km access road; (b) construction of three car parks; and (c) construction of a 4.5 km (approximate length) transmission line with 15 kV capacity from the Dadal Soum substation to the Chinggis Khaan Tourism Complex (CKTC), and associated transformer at the CKTC. Works include the use of geocells, speed humps, culverts, pedestrian crossings, and other design features for safety and sustainability. See Appendix 1 of this project administration manual for a summary of the planned works.
  3. Key tasks for preparation of the DEDs will include: (a) standard detailed drawings of the civil works (including location of road signs, marking, edge marker posts, guardrails); (b) work schedules, estimated quantities, and costs; (c) safety improvements (passing lanes, road marking, road signs, etc.), including standards, calculations, drawings, specifications, quantities and cost estimates; and (d) submission of the draft designs to the executing and implementing agencies, for review and endorsement from project steering committee, especially MRTD.
  4. Prepare draft, and then final, DEIAs for the subcomponents. The DEIAs will build on the general EIAs approved during project preparation. The firm will subcontract to a domestic certified agency, as needed, to prepare the DEIAs. The DEIAs will be prepared in parallel with preparation of the DEDs, to ensure that the DEDs account for, and address, any environmental risks. The DEDs will incorporate, as needed, (a) the environmental mitigation, monitoring and reporting measures described in the project EMP, and (b) any additional measures and requirements developed for the DEIAs. The costs for EMP implementation will be included in each package as needed.
  5. Provide contract administration support to the PIU, including for: (a) preparation of the bidding documents for the procurement packages for the KLNP road link, road upgrades, car parks, fee collection stations, and road control station, and OBNP road upgrade, car parks, and transmission line, based on the ADB Standard Bid Documents (SBD) for Procurement of Works; (b) issuance of bid documents; and (c) procurement of the contractors for the civil works packages.

  7. Conduct environmental monitoring and reporting of the construction works and post-construction site rehabilitation, in compliance with the monitoring requirements and parameters specified in Sections D and H of the project EMP. Ensure that monitoring and analyses are conducted by a qualified individual or agency with domestic certification for environmental monitoring. Maintain regular contact with the PIU Environment Safeguards Specialist and immediately report any instances of actual or potential non-compliance with the EMP (e.g. an accidental spill of machine fuel).
