EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This KISIP 2 consultancy service study contract is being undertaken by a Joint Venture
between TCE and G A Consultants Ltd. The study goals include; engineering design review
of roadworks, water supply, sewer system and high mast lighting that were previously
designed; repackaging of the works contracts arising from the review studies, and preparation
of procurement / bid documents; updating of RAP and the accompanying Environmental and
Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) reports; assisting the two respective counties in procuring
works contractors, and supervision of the proposed infrastructures improvement works in the
selected informal settlements that include Kwa Murogi, Lake View, London/Hilton and Karagita
in Nakuru County. The contract is under the KISIP Phase II framework, specifically component
1.2, funded by credit from the World Bank through International Development Association
(IDA).
A mixed method has been used during the engineering design review exercise that ranged
from desktop studies, participatory stakeholder engagements, consultative design process
and technical investigations/onsite validation studies and workshops with the respective
counties technical/safeguard teams.
The socio-economic study report is presented in a brief summary to show the expected socio-
economic benefits, administrative governance, land use, demographic profile and population
growth for Nakuru county.
The Detailed Engineering design reviews of roadworks (road alignment design, pavement
design, storm water drains and footpaths), water supply, sewer system and high mast lighting
sections cover design philosophy / concepts and design narratives and outputs that include
engineers cost estimate together with unit rate analysis.
Detailed review and updating of engineering drawings and setting out data has been done for
the roads and storm water drains engineering drawings, water supply engineering drawings,
sanitary sewer engineering drawings and electrical engineering drawings. The detailed report
has been presented in a separate cover as Volume III (Book of drawings)
A review of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and Environmental and Social Impact
Assessment (ESIA) has been carried out with an endeavour to identify all people affected by
the project and the adverse impacts on their livelihoods associated with the process of land
acquisition and the consultant has prepared an Environmental and Social Management Plan
(ESMP) containing a description of mitigation measures for adverse impacts and measures
for enhancing the beneficial effects. A summary of the EIA and RAP reports are presented in
this detailed design review report. Detailed reports for RAP and ESIA are submitted in
separate covers.
The engineering design review team has proposed ways by which inclusivity and diversity can
be achieved through the implementation of the infrastructural elements, which have the
potential to drive sustainable, transformative and inclusive economic growth, through fostering
gender equality, empowering marginalized groups, and increasing social inclusion for people
living with disabilities.
In addition, climate change resilience has been entrenched into the proposed works through
sustainable neighborhood mobility planning, in which active mobility has been prioritized to
reduce on carbon emissions in the intra-neighborhood commute. For inter-neighborhood
mobility, the Nakuru County KISIP team has assured the consultant, they are considering
introducing electric buses. For construction phase, local materials use has been proposed to
reduce on their transport carbon emission. Green spaces have been proposed through tree
planting, grassing and coloring of hard surfaces in green to reduce on urban heat island effects
in the settlements.
The repackaged and prepared works as discussed with the Client and Stakeholders comprise
of: Bidding Documents, Technical Specifications, Book of Drawings, Engineer’s Cost
Estimate, RAP and ESIA reports. These have been presented in separate covers from this
report.

Project Description
KISIP - Infrastructure and Service Delivery for Nakuru Town is a project spearheaded
by World Bank (WB) in collaboration with the Kenya Government (GK) through the
Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development (MoLHUD) to improve the civil
works infrastructure within the three settlements of Kwa Murogi, Lakeview and
London/Hilton in Nakuru town and Karagita settlement in Naivasha. It is driven through an all
people participatory project formulation model where through social interaction platform
incorporating multi-disciplinary expert contribution to guide the expectation of the residents
mostly by public forum workshops where the client and financier (WB) are heavily represented.
The stages are socio-survey, conceptual design report discussions, feasibility report
discussions and final detailed engineering designs. The outcomes of these are compiled
into a tender document to be rolled out to construction.
Current situation: - Currently, the entire length of R1 301 (Eldoret Road) has been
implemented to completion, while R2 302 (Machakos Road) and all the High Mast Lights are
yet to be implemented.
Community Observations: - The community highlighted that their current pressing needs
include (1) Sewer, (2) Roads, and (3) High Mast Lights, ranked in that order. They prioritized
the implementation of Machakos and Maragoli Roads, preferably together with a sewer line
and storm water drainage system along the road corridors. Sewer works and Maragoli Roads
however were not there in the proposed SUP’s set for design review.
The community were also of the opinion that security lighting has since improved considerably,
and is no longer a priority.
London/Hilton Settlement, Nakuru County
Proposed: - Upgrading of 1,292 m; 453 m R2 (R2 201)-Ghuba Road, 419 m R2 (R2 202)-
Geko Road, and 420 m of R2 (R2 203)-Roho Safi Road, together with the accompanying
storm water drainage systems, 4 No. High Mast Lights, and 279 m long ø300 mm sewer lines
along Ghuba Road.
Current situation: - Currently, the entire length of R1 201 (Siaya Road), sections of R2 201
(Ghuba Road) totalling to 558 m, and the entire length of the sewer line along R1 201 has
been implemented to completion. Section of R2 201 (Ghuba Road) totalling to 460 m, all the
High Mast Lights, and the sewer line along R2 201 are yet to be implemented.
Community Observations: - The community highlighted that their current pressing needs
include (1) Roads, (2) Sewer system, and (3) High Mast Lights, ranked in that order. They
prioritized completion of implementation of Ghuba Road (R2 201), and implementation of
Geko (R2 202) and Roho Safi (R2 203) Roads to completion. They also prioritized the
implementation of sewer lines along R2 202 and R2 203 Road corridors. The proposed sewer
works were however not there in the proposed SUP’s set for design review.
The community were also of the opinion that security lighting has since improved considerably,
and is no longer a priority.
Community Observations: - The community highlighted that their current pressing needs
include (1) Roads, (2) Sewer system, and (3) High Mast Lights, ranked in that order. They
prioritized implementation to completion of all the proposed works, as well as additional 2,159
m long roads (Ghorofa to Mpeketoni Rd – 759 m, Murogi Market Rd – 500 m, and Lion Hill to
Full Gospel Rd - 900 m). The proposed road works were however not there in the proposed
SUPs set for design review.
This community as well were also of the opinion that security lighting has improved
considerably, and is no longer a priority.
Community Observations: - The community highlighted that their current pressing needs
include (1) Roads, (2) Sewer system, (3) High Mast Lights, and (4) Water, ranked in that order.
They prioritized partial implementation of Musaka Road (1,941 m out of the 4,300 m), and a
High Mast Light next to the adjacent railway line. The proposed road works and the light mast
were however not there in the proposed SUPs set for design review.
The community were of the opinion that water supply situation in the settlement has improved
considerably, and is no longer a priority. However, the Consultant established that the current
water is being supplied through a temporary measure undertaken by NAIVAWASCO from the
Naivasha Industrial Part (NIP) booster station, which is anticipated to be fully directed to the
NIP once it’s operational.
From the situation currently, The Naivasha Industrial Park(NIP) booster station will not be able
to supply water to the Karagita settlement due to increasing Demand for water from the
developing industries. It was agreed that a direct line from the police line of diameter 200mm
HDPE of length 7,800 m be laid to convey water to Karagita Tanks. Also two Defluoridation
systems one with capacity of 37 m3/hr and the other with 27 m3/hr have been proposed, one
in police line and another in Kihoto Borehole.

KISIP I implemented between 2011 and November 2019 was implemented in selected towns
across 14 counties in Kenya. Among the municipalities targeted included Nairobi, Mombasa,
Kisumu, Eldoret, Naivasha, Machakos, Malindi-Kilifi, Kakamega, Nyeri, Thika, Kericho, Kitui,
Garissa and Embu.
In order to consolidate the gains made under KISIP I and enhance the benefits of the project
to more people in informal settlements, the second phase of the KISIP programs, dubbed
KISIP II was initiated by the Government of Kenya in conjunction with the World Bank. KISIP
II has been structured to build on the successes and lessons learnt from KISIP I, and introduce
new interventions to deepen its overall impact. It aims to support the interventions that have
been successful under KISIP I, namely: tenure regularisation, infrastructure upgrading, and
institutional strengthening. Unlike KISIP I, however, the new project also aims to include new
approaches and new activities to strengthen its impact on the participating communities.
KISIP II is open to all Counties participation, based on select criterion. Among its opening
activities include the implementation of the upgrading plans for 39 settlements in six counties
(Nairobi, Kilifi, Kakamega, Kisumu, Nakuru, Mombasa) which had detailed designs and
bidding documents prepared under the Phase I umbrella.
In May 2010, the Bank approved the Kenya Municipal Program (KMP) which benefitted about
2.6 million people through upgraded and new access roads and drainage systems, pedestrian
and bicycle pathways, street and High Mast Lights and new markets. The Kenya Informal
Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP) was eventually birthed to focus on tenure security,
participatory planning, regularisation and infrastructure upgrading in a four-component rollout
framework.
Through providing basic infrastructure and services, KISIP contributed to the GoK’s Vision
2030 urban goal of ‘a well-housed population living in an environmentally secure urban
environment’. It provided basic infrastructure and services and enhanced tenure and human
security in informal settlements. It also supported the Kenya Country Partnership Strategy’s
(CPS) three themes of growth, equity and environment through infrastructure investment.
This project therefore seeks to achieve commensurate value for investment in form of works
quality, adherence to budget and schedule, and proper beneficiary satisfaction, through the
review of the initial engineering designs, ESIA and RAP reports and the tender documents,
and the subsequent works supervision.
From the onset, the study considers the following as some risks that have the potential to
impede the project's progress. Political risks, financial risks, stakeholder competing interests,
material availability and price fluctuation. Viability checks: politically, environmentally,
economically, and financially.
1.6.3. Approvals
Draft infrastructure upgrading plans were submitted to the county government of Nakuru for
ratification before submitting to the Client. The Consultant worked closely with the County
team to ensure timely approvals for service relocations, water connection to newly installed
pipelines and outlets, newly installed sewer lines connections to the mains, as well as power
supply to new light masts.
3.1. Introduction
3.1.1. General Approach
The clear definition of the technical approach is critical to the completion of the assignment in
time. The Consultant used an experienced team of experts to undertake the proposed tasks
outlined in this brief methodology. The Consultant worked towards ensuring that all the
requirements set out in the Client’s Terms of Reference were met.
The Consultant made use of the following approach in executing the assignment:
• Mobilised a team of experienced experts that worked together, enriching each other’s
capabilities to deliver the assignment to the satisfaction of the Client;
• Worked closely with the Client and other key project stakeholders in all stages of the

assignment, including, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Arc-GIS/QGIS, HDM-4, MS Project,
SPSS, etc.;
• Mobile/Digital Tablet Devices for data collection using data collection toolkits e.g.,
Android Toolbox and Kobo Kollect;
• LED Projectors and other conference facilities;
• Topographical survey equipment;
• Geotechnical investigation equipment;
• Hydrogeological survey equipment;
• Hand-held GPS equipment for mapping out useful spatial information in the project
area; and
• High Resolution Digital Cameras and Video Recording Equipment.
The study team deployed a mix of methodology ranging from desktop engineering design
evaluation, participatory stakeholder engagement for co-design process and technical
investigations / onsite validation study to facilitate engineering design review report writing.
The Settlement Executive Committee (SEC) were on boarded into the study team at the
earliest stage to work with each expert / team. Using community workshops, the study team
presented cost-cap budgets for each settlement’s investment menu so that, together with the
community, a rationalised works package was arrived at. This was preceded by a rigorous
validation survey and technical engineering evaluation of every works component. The
consensually agreed packages has been processed in terms of all perquisite documentations;
book of drawings, design reports, tender documents including specifications and notices for
presentation to the respective county teams before submission to national coordinating team.
In the site validation surveys (site case analysis) the study team through discipline-based
coordination conducted confirmatory studies to evaluate the design report contents. This was
done for the entire investment menu.
References datum
The co-ordinates of all survey points were referenced to the National Survey Grid by a closed
traverse and all levels were related to National Benchmarks.
Introduction
Design review of road geometrics was done on the available design based on the available
corridors and respective design standards. As per the Design the reserve widths of access
roads range from 9 to 12 metres whereas that for internal settlement roads is about 6 metres.
The reserve width of footpaths is about 4 metres. Cases of encroachment are common in
unplanned informal settlements and this was checked during Design review.
Design Speed.
A design speed of 50km/her was recommended during the design review.
Cross-section
Design review of road cross-section was done based on the available road corridor and land
use and respective standards.
The major element of a cross-section is the lane whose width should be able to accommodate
the design vehicle. The project roads in the 3 settlements in Nakuru are designed such that
one lane is a one-way vehicular single carriageway which is 3m wide separated from the other
lane by bollards spaced at 1.5m apart, which is to serve as the path for cycling, skating, etc
activities for the residents.
The other auxiliary lanes occur at bus bays which are 3m wide at the parking 13m long and
18m taper entry and exit tapers. The cross-section choice is basically controlled by function of
the road, nature and volume of the traffic and the expected speed at use.
The other elements of cross-section are; kerbing, shoulder, sidewalks/ footpaths and
drainage.
Vertical alignment
Vertical alignment of a road refers to the longitudinal profile of that road under consideration.
When undertaking vertical alignment design review, the Consultant ensured that the
earthworks will be minimised to save on cost except for road sections prone to flooding or
those sections with high water table while at the same time satisfying safety requirements.
The Consultant checked that sharp vertical curves were avoided as a safety measure in design
review as this will enhance sight distances resulting in safe roads. Radii of vertical curves were
obtained after ensuring that minimum requirements for stopping / passing sight distances have
been addressed.
Sight distances
Sight distance is an essential criterion in design. It determines the ease with which drivers are
able to perceive potential hazards ahead of them so as to take the necessary preventive
action. Among the critical sight distances to be considered in this design review were; stopping
sight distance, passing sight distance, meeting sight distance. Both horizontal and vertical
sight distances will be evaluated during design review.
Bus stops are also important since they act as pick-up and drop off points for passengers. The
location of bus stops is to be in such a way that they allow passengers to board or alight safely
and conveniently and with minimum disruption to other road users. Designed bus stops were
reviewed to ensure they meet respective design criteria.
Road furniture include items such as road reserve boundary posts, edge marker posts,
permanent rod signs, road marking. Guardrails, rumble strips, kerbs among others. These
were also reviewed to check compliance to specifications or additional furniture be proposed
in cases where they are necessary and have not been provided for in the design
Catchment characteristics
Catchment characteristics are catchment features affecting the amount of runoff. These
include soil types, size and shape of drainage area, land use, geology, surface infiltration and
general ground slope among others. Design data was reviewed to ensure all aspects were
considered.
Drainage structures review – minor and major structures, culverts, side ditches, box
culverts, bridges
Existing structures, which are both structurally and hydraulically adequate and are within the
revised alignment, may remain in their current state. However, existing structures, which are
Pavement structure
On the basis of the projected traffic loading and subgrade strength, the following traffic
structures have been proposed.
Alternative 1 recommended:
Hand Packed Stone is labour intensive and technology easily mastered by semiskilled
labour and will afford employment to locals.
Can be trafficked immediately after laying.
Stone is locally available (Kasan Ramji Quarry in Nakuru was identified).
The selection of pipe material was based on the analysis of steel pipes, glass reinforced
polyester (GRP) unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) and high-density polyethylene
(HDPE). Need for corrosion protection, hydraulic characteristics, jointing, ease of handling,
market availability, pressure rating, standards compliance, cost, and hazard classification
were all analysed for prudent selection. Steel pipes used in the project were recommended to
have both internal protections in form of cement coating and external protection in form of
epoxy coating.
The minimum pressure at design flow is be 1 bar (10-metre water head) in pipe sections to
which there may be made consumer connections and 0.4 bar (4m) in other cases. The static
pressure in pipes with consumer connections is not more than 6 bar (60m). Higher pressure
than 6 bars will require pressure relief valves for the consumer connections.
Water pipelines are positioned 3.00m to the right or left of a right of way centreline, or, where
possible, in a dedicated utility corridor. Water pipelines located in a right of way were designed
in the location authorised by a water county council/municipal engineer or planner, unless the
location is precluded by the existence of other extenuating circumstances. Pipelines in road
reserves are designed to be located whenever possible 1.5m from the edge of the road way.
Valves
Single orifice and double orifice Air relief valves will be used to permit release of air which
accumulated at high points and to prevent negative pressures from building up when lines are
drained or to permit air flow into the systems when filling up.
In the design, Washouts are placed only at accentuated low points on raw water and clear
water mains of inside diameter 80mm or larger. In this context, it may be considered that a
low point is accentuated if the succeeding major high point is situated on a 10m higher level.
All dead-end pipelines will have a blow-off valve assembly type flushing device.
Valve chambers are at least 1200 x 1200mm internally (or larger for larger pipes), made of
reinforced concrete. The cover shall be lockable. The chamber shall be drained through the
floor or through a drain pipe.
Appurtenances
Anchor or thrust blocks of appropriate detail as shown on the MoWI, 2005 Water Design
Manual, and shall be provided for horizontal and vertical bends, capped ends, change of size
and tees and for pipes laid in steep slopes.
number 25mm diameter outlet pipes will be used to channel water to the consumers, with
commensurate stop corks used to cut-off flows.
Standpipes will be positioned within secure institutions, fitted on 25mm steel pipe and lockable
taps. The point will be concreted so as to clamp the standpipe and improve on sanitation.
Similar to the kiosks, soak away pit, a soak away trench, or extension to road side drains will
be put in place for drainage improvement.
Water supplied by water authority for domestic usage, after desired use it is discharged
in to sewers as sewage
The water supplied to the various public places such as, schools, hotels, hospitals, and
commercial complexes. Part of this water after desired use joins the sewers as
wastewater
Infiltration of groundwater into sewers through leaky joints
Entrance of rainwater in sewers during rainy season through faulty joints or cracks in
sewers.
3.4.2. Peak demand
Existing practices relate generated waste water to the per capita water consumption. The
amount of wastewater generation is estimated as a factor of water consumption. The
guidelines developed by WHO (1973) and presented in the “Sectoral Study and National
Programming for Community and Rural Water Supply, Sewerage and Water Pollution Control,
Report 9, Selection and Design Criteria for Sewerage Projects for Government of Kenya” gives
the following sewage generation factors.
Sewerage factor of 0.8 was assumed for the settlement improvement studies. 15% of the total
demand infiltration allowance will be provided for in all sewer lines.
The design standards are as stipulated in the Kenya Draft Practice Manual for Sewerage and
Sanitation Services in Kenya, June 2008. The review scope did not include provision for
construction of waste water treatment systems.
3 Ministry of Water and Irrigation Practice Manual for Sewerage and Sanitation Services in Kenya
The following design period was considered and adopted for different components:
Laterals less than 15 cm diameter: Full development
Trunk or main sewers: 50 years
Pumping plant: 10 years
Ground slope;
The existing sanitation infrastructure
The maximum and minimum trench depths for sewers was calculated using the methods given
in National Annex NA to BS EN 1295-1:1998 and appropriate materials for the intended depth
of installation. The minimum cover will be as below:
Rigid joint Concrete pipes, steel pipes and double walled corrugated HDPE pipes were
considered and suitability evaluated in the review/design.
Cast in situ or precast concrete manholes are proposed for use in the project. Heavy-duty
cast-iron manhole covers are proposed for use in trafficable areas, while medium duty
manhole covers and frames or equivalent are proposed where vehicle access is limited.
Manhole covers on the road are to be imbedded in road bitumen after final inspection if
required. Heavy Duty PVC covers are also proposed in selected areas. The maximum
distance between manholes on straight alignment are proposed to be 60 metres to enable use
of hand-operated rodding equipment. Spacing for manholes on the laterals/collector pipes are
to be maintained at 50 m.
The minimum height from the soffit of the main through pipe to the underside of the
roof slab of a manhole chamber before any reduction in size permitted is proposed to
be 2 metres
The area of benching in each manhole that would permit a man to stand easily,
comfortably and without danger to him, on such benching while working in the manhole
is provided
Manholes benching have been designed at grades ranging between 1 in 5 and 1 in 25
and will be battered back equally from each-side of the manhole channels such that
the opening at the level of the soffit of the pipes will have a width of 1.2 d where d is
the nominal pipe diameter.
3.4.7. Outfall
Outfall level and the newly proposed lines were all confirmed for flow feasibility.
3.6. Part 1E: Review of Engineering Drawings and Set out Data
The Consultant undertook the following under this section:
• Check and review the engineering drawings;
• Prepare the construction drawings incorporating any additional design changes that
may be required/as undertaken in previous design review tasks;
• Review the longitudinal sections and set out data in accordance with the detailed
topographical survey;

Detailed Review and Updating was done for the following key sections:
The works that are included for tender have been repackaged works under the budget as
discussed with the Client and Stakeholders.
The preparation of bidding documents is as the per guidelines provided where by the complete
tender documents comprise of the following;
The Consultant will assist the Client in undertaking the tender evaluation as per the Public
Procurement and Asset Disposal Act (PPDA), using the evaluation criteria as set out in the
tender documentation. The Consultant will be on hand to assist the Client’s Evaluation
Committee in assessing/evaluating the bids.
The Consultant will assist the Client in verifying the evaluations and preparation of the tender
evaluation report, according to the PPDA in force at the time.
The Consultant will also assist the Client in undertaking Contract Negotiation with the best
evaluated contractor. The Consultant will advise the Client to develop a checklist to assist the
Client during the negotiation, so that all aspects of the project are covered, leaving little room
for unnecessary variations during the implementation of the project construction.
The objective of the environmental study was to undertake an Environmental and Social
Impact Assessment (ESIA) in accordance with Kenyan law. As a result, the Environmental
(Impact Assessment and Audit) Regulations of 2003, contained in Kenya Gazette Supplement
No. 56, Legal Notice 101, was be used to prepare the report format and contents of the ESIA
Report
The consultant has prepared an ESMP containing a description of mitigation measures for
adverse impacts and measures for enhancing the beneficial effects. The plan recommends
the set of mitigation, monitoring and institutional measures to eliminate, minimise or reduce to
acceptable levels the adverse environmental impacts and / or maximise socio-economic
benefits identified in the project.
The Consultant will be acting in the capacity of the Engineers Representative as defined in
contract conditions and will perform the overarching function of Contract Administration (as
shall be delegated to him by the Engineer). The objective is to ensure that the works are
carried out in a safe and orderly manner and completed within the agreed time frame, quality
specifications and cost. The key operation in this is the submission of request by Contractor
to carry out the next operation on standardised forms that have a number of check-off points
e.g., quality of compaction of previous layer or inspection of shuttering and reinforcement
before pouring concrete. The Contractor has to have a copy of this form to allow work to
proceed. The Engineer retains a copy for records in case of dispute and another copy is used
in measurement processes.
The Resident Engineers will be the Engineer’s Representative at site and will ensure that the
Employer receives value for money for the works. He will be responsible on day-to-day basis
to ensure that the Contractor is meeting the specifications, the programme of works is being
followed and that the works are in accordance with the design.

The Consultant will ensure the personnel are well organised and have a clearly elaborated
site organization structure to ensure the works are supervised in an efficient manner to provide
maximum quality to the Client.
• Coordinate with the Employer on timely possession of site and Contractors establishment;
• Review Contractor’s proposals and ensure provision of the Engineer’s field office and
facilities;
• Checking and establishing that the Contractor mobilises and brings to site all necessary
personnel, plant, equipment and machinery that have been committed in the tender and
ensure that all such items of plant remain on the contract until their release has been
authorised;
• Identify all the survey ground control stations (beacons and bench marks), which have
been established during design stage; verify the accuracy of the secondary survey stations
established by the contractor.
• Notify through the employer all third parties involved in the project about the proposed
works, Contractor mobilisation plans and commencement of works. Specific attention will
be drawn to matters related to:
o Relocation and/or interruption of public utilities;
o Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
• Performance Bond, Advance Payment Guarantee, Insurance of the Works, Parties to the
Project Commencement Order;
• Contractors’ mobilization Plan;
• Contractor’s detailed work program and work Methodology;
• Contractor’s initial method statements for undertaking critical components of the works;
• Proposed resource schedules for the Contractor;
• Description of the Management Systems and Standard forms to be used; and
• Contractor’s traffic management plan, environment management plan, HIV/AIDs and
Gender sensitization plan.
It will be checked that the GPS stations and Traverse vertexes have been materialised during
design stage on existing bridge or box culvert parapets or on appropriate concrete
benchmarks (BM) protected against impact to guarantee their stability and durability; and
check that the benchmarks have been established; and if not already established, the BM will
be re-set on the ground using concrete post. Every BM shall be checked, levelled by a forward
run and a subsequent run forming a closed “loop”.
The Consultant shall check for the existence of original marks, lines and levels of reference
prior to commencing works in any section, to allow sufficient time for reinstatement of
markings, and checking of lines and levels. Any discrepancies encountered will be corrected
and re-established.
In addition, special care will be exercised during construction not to damage, displace or
disturb property and trigonometrically survey monuments.” The checking of the survey will
include a traverse survey and re-establishment of beacons and a level survey (including
longitudinal profile and cross sections of sufficient width, to cover the construction works to be
carried out) based on an acceptable method to be approved by the Engineer.
The Consultant will check the setting out of the line and level of the Works as are required to
construct the Works. Reference pegs and batter rails, clearly and indelibly marked with all
relevant information, will be provided clear of the road and perpendicular to it such that the
centreline, batter of cut and fill slopes and pavement layer levels can be directly established
at any time. After setting out of the marks, interpretation and comparison with the design of
the Works, and the actual conditions encountered on the Site during the course of the Works.
Therefore, immediately on the checking of the survey monuments, the Consultant shall
examine the adequacy of the designs for the project in terms of the revised setting out marks
revised drawings and Bills of Quantities will be issued in advance of actual construction.
Within the specified time in the conditions of contract, the Consultant shall recommend to the
Client to issue any clarification or revision of the designs for the project that is required in order
to rectify inconsistencies or discrepancies between the original topographical surveys and
setting out marks, and their interpretation that were used in the design of the Works, and the
actual conditions encountered during the said examination of the original designs or during
the course of the Works.
The Consultant will recommend to the Engineer to approve the setting out the Works by the
Contractor before commencing to construct the works. The Resident Engineer and the Project
Engineer with the assistance of the Inspector of Works will check that the Contractor’s setting
out is correct.
Before the Contractor starts any aspect of the Works, the Consultant will make sure that
reference stations are well established and will check that they have not been damaged. If
there is suspected damage, the reference stations will be re-set on the ground using concrete
post as per the Client’s description. Always check that you and the Contractor are working to
the latest edition of the Drawings.
The Consultant will ensure that the Contractor shall set out the line and level of the Works at
intervals of not more than the minimum intervals and tolerances specified in the Technical
Specifications of this project. Reference pegs and batter rails, clearly and indelibly marked
with all relevant information, will be provided clear of the road and perpendicular to it such that
the centreline, batter of cut and fill slopes and pavement layer levels can be directly
established at any time. These will be maintained by the Contractor for as long as they are
needed to check and monitor the Works.
After completion of the setting out, the Consultant will ensure that the Contractor will take a
longitudinal section and cross-sections of the cleared ground level at intervals specified in the
technical specification along the proposed road centreline over the full road reserve width.
Similarly, it will be ensured that the Contractor will take a longitudinal section and cross-
sections along the centrelines of all existing and proposed culverts and structures. Cross-
sections and longitudinal sections will be plotted in drawings to intervals specified in the
Technical Specifications. The Consultant will ensure that both the cross section and long
section will be submitted in hard and soft copy for examination and agreement.
On receipt of the final road, culvert and structure levels, the Consultant will ensure that the
Contractor enters the revised data in the program and the revised cross- sections. An original
plot and one copy of those cross-sections will be provided by the Contractor.
Formation level is defined as the level of the interface between the top of subgrade layers and
the bottom of the pavement layers and shoulders. Before the finishing of the formation layer
and prior to the construction of pavement layers, the Consultant will ensure that the Contractor
establish steel pins at a constant offset to the edges of the carriageway and shoulders within
the offsets and markings as specified in the Technical Specifications of the project.
Material Testing
Laboratory testing will be the main means of control available for the Consultant to control the
quality of the work. The Resident Engineer will order special tests on materials or completed
works, or order removal and substitution of improper materials and/or works as required. Any
work performed that fails the inspection/testing requirements, will be instructed in writing to
correct and/or remove from the site.
The Consultant will manage the laboratory (as provided by the Contractor for sole use of the
Engineer) and ensure testing is carried out in strict accordance with the specifications. The
Consultant will also:
• Request the Contractor to carry out all tests of materials including verifying
Manufacturer’s test Certificates to be used for the works prior to incorporating them in the
works. The Consultant will verify the quality of these materials and ensure that the quality
of these materials comply with specification requirements. The Consultant will ensure that
samples provided for testing truly represent the materials brought to the site for the works;
• Carry out tests on materials in field laboratory to be supplied through the works contract.
Tests deemed necessary and for which the field laboratory does not have the appropriate
equipment will be carried out outside the project and under the supervision of the
Consultant and shall be paid by the Contractor.
The Consultant will ensure all calibration of the equipment is carried out by the Contractor as
required and all tests are carried out in line with the appropriate standard. To comply with this,
the Consultant will develop a manual of procedures to manage the testing laboratory. Split
samples will be tested off site in order to provide a cross check.
The Consultant will also monitor construction of the road bed preparation with due
consideration to compaction procedures such as uniformity of mixing by grader, lift thickness,
water content and degree of compaction.
Excavation
In areas of excavation the Consultant will inspect the Contractor whether appropriate slope
stake positions are kept for cut slopes, whether benches are provided at their appropriate
position stipulated on the contract document and typical x-section and signs of instability are
observed or not.
The Consultant will decide the angle of the cut slope as the work proceeds on the basis of
evaluation of the soil characteristics. The actual lines of cuts will be measured and recorded
by the Contractor and checked and approved by the Consultant.
All materials removed from excavation will be checked for suitability to utilise it in the formation
of embankment/ sub-grade, backfill for structures and/ or any other construction material as
per the technical specification. The Consultant will not allow the Contractor to waste any
excavated material unless order by written instruction.
All slopes shall be trimmed precisely as per cross- sections, and care must be exercised that
no material shall be loosened beyond the required slope. The Consultant shall also decide
types of excavation as per the Contractor document.
Embankment Placement
In order for embankments to perform their function, they must be constructed to the proper
line and grade with the proper materials. The approved materials must be placed and
compacted to the specified densities under the Employer requirement. It will be the role of the
Consultant to continually monitor and inspect the Contractors’ activities and to participate in
the testing operations that will guarantee that the embankment sections as constructed meet
or surpass the requirements of the contract documents and Employer requirements. The
Consultant will prepare a comprehensive guideline to monitor and ensure the implementation
in coordinated manner.
Sub-Grade Construction
The structural strength of the sub- grade is important to ensure the proper functioning and
assuring design life of the overlaying wearing course. As in the case of the embankment, the
Consultant will be responsible for monitoring, inspecting and initiating testing the material and
the placement of the sub- grade material to ensure that a proper strength of the pavement
layer is achieved.
The Consultant will check the suitability of the materials identified or proposed by the
Contractor to be used the level lines, cross falls and slopes of the underlying layers for the
pavement construction and if they are within the geometric tolerance. The compaction water
content and degree of compaction shall also be checked. The Consultant will monitor the
stockpiles of the respective material, placing, watering and compaction procedures of the
works.
Wearing Course
The Consultant shall check the suitability of the materials identified or proposed by the
Contractor the level, lines, cross-falls and slopes of the underlying layers for the wearing
course construction and if they are within the geometric tolerance. The compaction water
content and degree of compaction shall also be checked. The Consultant will monitor the
stockpiling of the respective material, placing and watering and compaction procedure of the
work.
The Consultant will evaluate if adequate representative samples are submitted for testing the
quality of the source as per the specification given in the contract document. In all practical
situations the material samples shall be sampled in the presence of the Consultant’s
appropriate staff. Any material found not to conform to the requirement would be subjected to
rejection. The Consultant will make sure all rejected materials are removed immediately from
site and replaced with the material meeting the requirements. Minimum sampling frequency
shall be adopted as may be given in the contract document for proper control of each work.
The Consultant will monitor the construction of structures. The Consultant will ensure that all
materials for use in the structural works comply with the specification and that the methods of
construction comply with the contract requirements. Particular attention will be paid to the
concrete works; this will cover:
• Cement and steel reinforcement including inspection of the required test certificates;
• Ensuring that cement storage facilities are adequate to protect material;
• Checking aggregate supplies both stone and sand for grading and absence of
contamination;
• Checking quality of water for use in cement concrete works;
• Provision of adequate curing materials / arrangements; and
• Quality and type of shuttering / scaffolding materials and its arrangements.
Design mixes for the concrete works as prepared by the Contractor will be verified and
approved by the Consultant who will ensure that deviation from the approved mix is not made
without his agreement. Periodic spot sampling of concrete will be carried out throughout the
contract to ensure consistency and quality. In particular, the spot checks will cover slump tests
and concrete cube crushing tests.
Placing of Concrete
Prior to placing of any concrete, the Consultant will make an inspection of the site and observe
that:
• All reinforcement is placed as required by the drawings, that adequate ties are in place,
that chairs provided are sufficient to maintain the spacing of reinforcing bars during the
pour, and that sufficient and correctly sized spacer blocks are used;
• Cold joints in vertical construction are property chiselled to expose aggregate and that all
loose and foreign material is removed;
• The false work used by the Contractor is structurally sound and able to support the wet
concrete;
• That the formwork is adequate and correctly dimensioned and at correct levels that all
champers, weep holes and service duct are in place as required and that the quality of
form work is adequate to give the level of finish quality required by the contract:
• The concrete mixing equipment is in good operating order and that back up is available
in case a mixer should breakdown during mix-pour,
• Sufficient quantities of cement, aggregates, and water supplies are available and that the
materials are stored properly,
• Equipment to facilitate the correct pouring of the concrete mix is available so the quality
may be consistent and required rates can be maintained;
• Vibrating equipment is available with sufficient back up in case of breakdowns;
• Tamping boards are available (in the case of deck pours):
• Grades for the finished concrete are clearly marked:
• Slump cone and cubes (or cylinders) of testing quality are available
• Expansion joint materials are available, cut to size and ready for placement
• Bridge bearings are readily available in advance for placement;
More often design changes are made to suit local site conditions following a closer
examination of the site or judgement resulting from the benefit of having stayed on site for a
long time.
Technical Meetings:
Regular technical meetings will be held with the Contractor's senior staff to anticipate,
discuss and resolve technical issues. The meetings will be attended by the Project
Engineer, Consultant’s Resident Engineer and the Contractor’s Project Manager
supported by other staff who may be involved in any particular subject. These meetings will
be held on a regular basis and the meeting records will be prepared and distributed for future
reference.
The Consultant will maintain continuous monitoring of the Contractor to ensure he complies
with all requirements of the Contract. The works executed are in accordance with sound
technical administration, financial and economic practices. The Consultant will perform all
duties associated with such tasks to ensure that only the best construction practice is followed
and that the final product is in all respects equal to or better than that specified, at the most
economic costs and is executed in full compliance with the specifications. Results of this
monitoring will be set out in Monthly Progress Reports and Quarterly Summary Reports.
Formats for Inspection Requests will be agreed upon (in consultation with the Engineer and
Project Engineer). Ideally the inspection request format should be given to the Contractor at
the during mobilisation.
The Senior Consultant Staff such as Materials Engineer, Structural Engineer, Highway
Engineer, D/Resident Engineer will participate in developing formats along with the Resident
Engineer and the Engineer which helps to control the construction works. The formats will be
distributed to the staff, for the proper recording of the day-to-day activity of each work.
Frequency of testing by approved independent labs and Contractor’s own technicians will also
be finalised. Inspection hold points shall be established for every type of work to decide the
stages from which the Contractor shall precede further only after all the preceding stages have
been inspected / tested and approved.
The Contractor’s program of work will be examined and commented even after approval. The
Consultant will, at all times, monitor and supervise the execution of works, the resources
loaded, the sequence of operations, the procurement of materials, the submission of shop
drawings and the cash flow charts, all in such a way that will keep the project under total
control.
The Contractor should table at each progress meeting a progress report showing the targets
and actual production achieved during the preceding fortnight, targets for the coming two
weeks, and overall completion figures for all main items of work. Difficulties, if any,
experienced during the construction can be discussed in the progress meetings. Minutes of
the meetings will be recorded, and distributed to the participants, as well as to various
departments and the Client in a timely manner. Daily reports shall be submitted by the
Contractor, showing daily-anticipated activities, materials delivered to site, equipment and
manpower allocated in addition to information regarding the climate.
The Consultant will keep and maintain up-to-date detailed Daily site diary and detailed records
(making them available for inspection by the Employer or his representatives when requested
to do so) of all contractual correspondences and data; all work stoppages or delays, accidents
on site; official visitors to site and their comments, weather records, all activities in progress
at any time on site showing the start and end time and full details of the resource’s employer
per activity. A construction diary compiled by the Resident Engineer from the daily logs
prepared and submitted each day by inspectors will include:
• Contractor personnel on the job, listed by classification and number on each jobsite
• Location of the Contractor’s crews within the projects
• Equipment type, location and condition
• Summary of work performed by Contractor’s crews at various locations
• Materials delivered to installation site
• Materials removed from storage and materials incorporated into construction
• Test samples, including location
• Quantity of work performed by the respective Contractor’s crews eligible for payment
• Site instruction received or delivered
• Idle hours and reason
• Comments on the performance
• Problems encountered and how they were or might be resolved
• Weather and social conditions
• Official visits and inspections
• Anticipated work for the next day, etc.
To ensure uniformity in reporting procedures by all personnel, the Engineer will utilise the
forms and reports approved earlier. These will include formats for Daily Reports, Monthly
Reports Quarterly Reports, and Special Reports as required. Daily record keeping will help
the Consultant to constantly monitor all site activities related to the works. Such monitoring
will be enhanced by: Maintaining a continuous dialogue with the Contractor; and maintaining
a record of the progress of the Works on site on a daily basis.
The Consultant will continuously update the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (as
developed in Consultation with the Engineer) by updating the indicators (which will have been
arrived upon in consultation with the Engineer) through the rigorous supervision,
measurement of the Contractors performance in the construction of the project road. The
framework will be reported in the Monthly Progress Reports, and the Quarterly Progress
Reports. It will also be summarised in the Provisional Completion Report and the Final
Completion Report.
The Consultant will be informed by the Contractor in writing upon arrival or removal of any
equipment for the Consultant to inspect and take records. The records will be kept by the
Resident Engineer and will be compared by the records submitted by the Contractor during
monthly meeting. Any difference will be communicated to the Contractor for correction. Items
to be recorded on each category of equipment will include type of equipment its precise date
of arrival or removal from Site, its date of manufacture, previous hours worked and condition,
the date commissioned to commence work, its availability, and utilisation. The Consultant will
establish equipment availability figures for each category of equipment. Based on a complete
equipment serviceability list submitted by the Contractor for inclusion in the Monthly Progress
Report and Quarterly Summary Report showing the condition of each piece of Equipment on
every day of the month
The Consultant will check that the Contractor submits to the Engineer every month a statement
showing the amount of Plant and Contractor’s Equipment, which has been brought to the Site.
Such records of equipment shall be recorded in a form approved by the Engineer, and such
records will be available for inspection by the Consultant; and it will be checked that the
amount and type of equipment provided is as per the approved work program. Such records
will include:
• Date of arrival and removal from site;
• Date of manufacture, previous hours worked and condition;
Equipment availability figures will also be established for each category of equipment arriving
to site. The Consultant shall also ensure that all equipment, tools and other items used in
accomplishing the Works, whether purchased, rented or otherwise provided by the Contractor
are in safe, sound and good condition for performing the intending function. It will also be
checked that all the insurance has been furnished for each of the Contractor’s equipment on
site.
Official photographic records (available for inspection) of monthly progress at set locations
and of any construction activity of technical or contractual interest will be taken at any time.
Each photograph will be captioned with reference number, time, date, precise location, subject
and points of particular note. The Consultant will provide to the Client the record of all essential
photographs as an annex in the completion reports.
Site Meetings
Regular site meetings will be held with the parties to the contract i.e., the Employer and the
Contractor to review progress and discuss and resolve any areas of conflict or dispute, and
for the dissemination of information.
The meetings will discuss progress and planned future action. The meetings will be chaired
by the Resident Engineer who will also record minutes of the meetings and ensure that they
are signed by those present as being a true record of the meeting.
Reports Submission
The Consultant will prepare monthly progress reports in the form to be agreed with the
Employer; the reports will be prepared and submitted to the Employer in the prescribed
number of copies. The report shall include all relevant information on the project data,
achievements during the reporting month, overall progress status, highlight of issues affecting
the progress, general information on weather, staff deployment, equipment and material
mobilised, Consultant’s staff, payment status, visitors to site and summary of instructions
issued to the Contractor indicating time and cost implications.
During the implementation of the project the consultant will monitor the following
recommendations for environmental protection (including those that were recommended in
the Environmental Monitoring Plan):
• Minimize water and soil pollution by directing runoff waters into tailing ponds
• Minimize noise and dust levels
• Ensure safety during construction by ensuring the contractor installs appropriate
temporary road signs for traffic control and safety, and enforce the wearing of appropriate
Waste management
The development of the KISIP 2 project ranges from roads, water facilities, waste
management facilities and flood lights just to mention. They will generate different wastes
including cutaway soils, domestic wastes, liquid wastes, pipe cuttings, demolition materials
among others. The waste shall be collected well under guidance of a waste management plan
by contractors. The waste shall be managed under the waste management guidelines where
they will be collected in covered waste bins, transported with licensed vehicles well covered
and disposed at a designated place within used by the respective counties. Utilisation of soils
in reclaiming quarries shall be utilised in the project. Reuse and recycling options shall be
taken into consideration.
In terms of water pollution, the waste generated by the contractor’s camp shall be connected
to the sewer line of onsite treatment shall be explored.
The Consultant’s supervision team at site will ensure that the Contractor is complying with
health and safety requirements specified under the contract as well as those provided under
the Laws of Kenya. Safety of workers and other persons within the Contractor’s working area
will be of paramount importance to the Consultant. All persons working on the site will require
to be insured under Contractor’s All Risks Insurance Policy. Immediately upon mobilisation,
the Contractor will be required to provide a Safety Plan that will include establishment of a
safety committee at site. The provisions of relevant clauses in the FIDIC General and Special
Conditions of contract and related provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act will
apply. Care will be taken to ensure that the Contractor is in compliance with Occupational
Safety Rules for Works of Engineering nature in accordance with the laws of Kenya including:
The Consultant will check that the following measures will be taken while construction is
carried out around towns:
Some of the traffic control devices that the Consultant will recommend to the Contractor
include:
• Reflective traffic signs and pavement markings - The Consultant will check that the
Contractor has established reflective traffic signs and pavement markings at places
required according to the design and the criteria stipulated in approved Design
Manuals. Hence, reflective traffic signs will be provided ahead of sharp curves, winding
alignments, cross road, road intersections, steep grades, pedestrian crossings, animal
crossing areas, villages and town entry, for speed limit, etc.
During the Construction supervision period the Consultant will check and confirm that
measurements of the work claimed for certification in any interim certificates is consistent with
the actual progress on site.
Only works that have been completed and tested for technical soundness will be approved for
payment. In the event of final certificate, joint measurement/surveys with the Contractor will
be organised to facilitate agreement on quantities. At least within one month following final
inspection of completed works the final payment certificate will be forwarded to the Employer.
The Consultant will also monitor the payment process and alert the employer when delayed
payments accumulate to the point when interest charges will become due and the employer
will be in default for late payment.
Variation Orders
All requests/proposals for variations will be assessed and forwarded to the Engineer.
Applications/Recommendations for Engineer’s Instruction (EI) and Variation Orders (VO) shall
be made as soon as they are identified to ensure that the Employer is fully aware of their time
and cost implications well in advance.
Recommendations will include background information as to the necessity for the variation,
the effect on its immediate environment, justification for the variation based on engineering,
economical, sociological or practical grounds, and the financial implications of the variation on
the project. Following the approval of the variation, in Consultation with the Consultant, the
Engineer will issue Variation Order to the Contractor, while copying the Project Director,
Project Manager and Resident Engineer, in a standard format which will cover the following:
The Monthly Progress Report and Quarterly Summary will contain an updated list of all
variations, their cumulative and actual value and their status.
a) Order to Commence: The Consultant shall monitor the Contractor’s mobilisation progress
and recommend to the Engineer to issue “Order to Commence” as appropriate under the
contract.
b) Issue of Working Drawings: The Consultant will ensure that the Contractor is issued with
a complete set of approved working drawings and specifications before commencement
date. Thereafter, and based on the outcome of the design review to be undertaken by the
Consultant, the Contractor will be issued with revisions to working drawings in a timely
manner, in Consultation with the Engineer.
c) Programmes and Plans: The Consultant will review and recommend to the Engineer
approval of the works programme as being in compliance with approved designs,
Specification, quality, requirements, time schedule and budget by reviewing the
Contractor’s proposed work programs and associated work method statements resource
analysis and requirements, and recommend approval or rejection of the proposals
accordingly. The Consultant Will Make sure that the program submitted for the execution
of the works shall, in addition to the program for pure construction activities, include
resource mobilisation schedules, traffic management, awareness programmes for Site
staff and labour in respect of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) including HIV/AIDS,
Road Safety Awareness, gender mainstreaming.
The Programme will be checked to ensure that the time set aside for various activities is
realistic. A critical path program will be drawn up for the works, to include the resource
schedules, and identify the completion of each phase and the commencement of
subsequent dependent phases of the contract works. From this program, cash flow
forecasts will be produced on a monthly basis, and this will be updated regularly based
on the actual works constructed during the period.
The Consultant has invariably employed Microsoft Project for the management of large
projects with good success. The choice of specific software depends on the Employer
preference and ability of the Contractor to adapt and manage the works programme with
particular software. During the review and updating of the tender documents, the
Consultant will discuss and confirm with the Employers preference of any particular
project management software and include appropriate specifications in the tender
documents. By using this software, the Consultant will prepare control charts of the main
activities and a project master schedule, indicating both past performance and forecasts
for completion including time involved in each case.
Once approved, the Consultant will evaluate and monitor progress and compliance
through monthly reports. In particular, the review and monitoring shall include:
• Contractor’s proposed work programs and associated calculations, work method
statements, resource analysis and requirements. Identify any changes, modifications
or additional resources required;
• Contractor’s working drawing/plans and associated calculations, including those for
temporary works. Approve or reject the proposals accordingly and identify any
changes required;
• Review the Contractor’s proposal which (in the Contractor’s opinion) will, if adopted
ensure any, some or all of the following;
i) Accelerate completion of works;
ii) Reduce the cost of executing, maintaining or operating the works;
iii) Improve the efficiency or value of the completed works, or
iv) Otherwise, be of benefit to the Client, Community and Stakeholders, and
v) Advise the Client and Employer regarding accepting/modifying or rejecting such
proposals and any cost implications.
• Continuously monitor the Contractor’s progress against program and method of
working in respect of each and all construction activities and produce a resource
analysis against production needs. Notify the Contractor when additional resources,
revised methods of working, or revised program of the works are necessary for
proper monitoring of the works.
Any claim for extensions of time or claims for additional payment that may be received
from the Contractor shall be thoroughly analysed based on the terms and conditions of
the contract and available records after which the Consultant shall make appropriate
recommendations to the Employer for consideration.
The Resident Engineer will be responsible for monitoring the works contract performance
and flag any actions that are likely to expose the Employer to Claim situation. Due regard
shall be given to timely analysis and determination of claims. Lack of decision on
Contractor’s claims may create uncertainty on the part of the Contractor leading to
disruption of progress of works. The Consultant shall take a pro-active position in
responding to claims from the Contractor and keep the Employer informed at all times.
The Consultant shall: -
i) Review all claims that the Contractor may present for additional compensation and/or
extension of time and recommend variations as necessary during the progress of
work. Recommendations made by the Consultant shall take account of
Client/Employer interests in terms of impact on quality, cost, time and political
repercussions and will ensure that the project is implemented as designed and
planned; An updated list of all claims submitted and their status will form part of the
Monthly Progress Reports and Quarterly Summary Reports.
ii) Evaluate in detail and give opinion on all claims, accounts, questions, disputes and
differences, as required under the Terms of Contract, and shall aid and assist the
Employer in dealing with such claims, accounts, disputes and differences related to
the execution of the works;
iii) Ensure the evidence contains sufficient information to reveal the nature of the
Contractor’s dispute, circumstances pertaining thereto, and substance of any
commitments made by either party in the regard.
iv) The Consultant will maintain a thorough coverage in the daily project diary.
Comments covering equipment, its status and output, and/or materials, which are
involved, accidents, if any, weather conditions and progress shall be included; and
In the event of adjudication or arbitration, provide the necessary personnel and expertise to
advise and assist the Employer in any such process and prepare any further analysis of the
Contractors claims submissions as may be necessary to assist the Employer in the
presentation of the case.
The As-built drawings will show works precisely as-built and shall include information which
might be useful in the event of subsequent maintenance or modification works.
The As-Built or “As Constructed” drawings will include every component of the Work and the
Consultant will ensure that the As-built drawings have been submitted by the Contractor
before the Consultant recommends to the Engineer issuing of the Taking Over
Certificate to the Contractor.
The Consultant will check the validity periods of the above insurances and guarantees, and
notify the Contractor (with permission from the Engineer) to extend the validities to the end
of the construction period.
The minimum requirements for each infrastructure are expected to be defined in Technical
Specifications. Hence sampling, testing and measurements will generally be done in
accordance with the procedures prescribed in the Specifications.
During the joint inspection in the presence of the Client’s representative, any additional
defects/imperfections/faults will be identified. For every defect identified by the
Consultant/Client, all the parties will discuss possible remedial measures and make definite
recommendation for rectification, right at the spot or at the subsequent meeting.
A meeting of all the parties will then be held, and each issue including the defects and
proposed/agreed measures will be discussed in detail. Any major defect (if any) will not be
considered as a “defects liability item” and such item will be treated separately with associated
additional financial liability implication.
As to the requirements of the Terms and Conditions of Contract and as agreed by the
Consultant and then by the Client, provisional acceptance and certificate of substantial
completion of the whole project (a portion of road) will be issued to the Contractor. Minutes of
the meetings which include the checklists of defects and decisions made on minor/major
defects, missing works, operational items, rectification programs and any other required
actions will be prepared, signed by the participants and provided to all the parties.
When the whole of the Works has been substantially completed and have satisfactorily passed
any Tests on Completion prescribed by the Contract, the Consultant shall notify the Contractor
(with permission from the Engineer), upon request for Provisional Taking Over, of any defects
in the Works affecting substantial completion that may appear after such instructions and
before completion of the Works. The Contractor shall be entitled to receive such Taking-Over
Certificate within specified days of completion, to the satisfaction of the Consultant, of the
Works specified and remedying any defects notified.
If the Contract identifies different sections or parts of the works then separate Taking- Over
certificates may be issued for each part.
At Completion of the Works, the Consultant will arrange, in consultation with the Engineer, the
Inspection of the Works in the presence of the Contractor, the Client and the Consultant for
testing and commissioning of the works.
Once joint field inspection and certification are made and the Works have been certified as
substantially complete, the Consultant will prepare a formal Certificate of Substantial
Completion for the Engineer to approve informing that the road can be provisionally accepted
subject to a twelve (12) month defects liability period.
The main purpose of the Service during Defects Notification Period is to demonstrate under
operational conditions that the requirements of the Contract have been complied with. During
this period, the Consultant to oversee that the Contractor must not only complete such
outstanding works as are listed in the relevant Taking over Certificate but also remedy any
defects that appear. During this period, and in realisation of the above, the Consultant’s duties
will include conducting regular visits to the Project, at intervals of not more than one month, to
inspect the completion by the Contractor of the outstanding works, as well as inspecting the
Works in general for defects that may be detected during this period.
The Consultant on carrying out the periodic inspections (in Consultation with the Client) of the
project road will prepare a Monthly Maintenance Period Inspection Report and submit it to the
Client within 1 Week of the end of the reporting Month, and Quarterly Financial Appraisal
Reports within 1 Week of the end of the reporting Quarter.
After the issuance of the said Certificate, by the Engineer and the Client and as per the
Contract, the Consultant shall review the Contractor’s Final Statement and issue to the Client
the completed form of the Final Payment Certificate of the Construction Contract.
The Consultant will prepare and submit the following project closure reports to the Client:
NAKURU COUNTY DETAILED DESIGN REVIEW REPORT – DELIVERABLE NO. 2 CHAPTER 4: SUMMARY OF ENGINEERING DETAILED DESIGN
The assessment involved consultations with relevant stakeholders in target settlements within
Nakuru town. The aim of stakeholder consultations was to give a platform for information
sharing and opinion gathering in relation to the proposed Project. Consultations were done in
form of public meetings and key informant interviews. The issues were then analysed and
presented to design team for finalization of Project designs and planning on how best to
implement the Project. The main meetings were held within the month of January and
February 2023; attendance of the meetings was from diverse sectors of the society as
summarized in table
The primary aim of the detailed survey for the selected infrastructure within the settlement was
to provide spatial data for review of the existing infrastructure designs, review of the existing
topographical survey data and maps as well as the temporary benchmarks; review of the
setting out data for the previous design outputs. The mapping exercise captured the existing
road features, NMT facilities, power lines, road corridor extent, drainages and other natural
and man-made features within the project road corridors.
5.1.2. Settlements Surveyed.
The surveying was carried out in three settlements in Nakuru and in one settlement in
Naivasha.
Kwa Murogi Settlement.
The settlement is located on latitude 0° 17' 51.1" S and Longitude 36° 7' 27.9" E to the South
of the Nairobi-Nakuru highway and borders the Nakuru Game reserve to the North.
Personnel.
The persons engaged to carry out the survey are as tabulated below.

The team surveyor took responsibility for all HSE-related issues during the survey. Prior to the
survey, the surveyor carried out a safety briefing for the survey personnel. All HSE related
measures were fully implemented by the survey team during the course of the survey.
Each control point was monumented using a steel reinforced bar + 500 mm in length driven
into the ground encased in concrete approximately 300 mm in depth and 200 mm in diameter.
A locality sketch was drafted for each control beacon, describing the position in relation to the
immediate surroundings.
During the topographical survey, all existing features, such as roads, tracks, railway lines,
houses, huts, graves, trees, underground (if markers are visible) and overhead utilities, water
courses, drains, top and bottom levels of cliff, etc. and all other features present within the
survey strip area were picked. Spot levels at regular interval were observed to depict the relief
of the area. The instrument, Total Station or GPS/GNSS, was setup on a control point and its
coordinates were fed into recorder. After stationing, the surveyors started taking details of
ground by using the feature code database, which had already been saved in the hard drive
of data collector.
Terrain Modelling.
A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) with a 1m contour interval was generated on AutoCAD civil 3D.
AutoCAD Civil 3D applies Triangulation-based Terrain Modelling in which measured data point
were used to form the vertices of the triangles used to model the terrain, to determine the
heights of additional points by interpolation and to carry out the construction of contours.
Contours were generated by direct linear interpolation and smoothing of the contours were
done using cubic splines fitted though strings of interpolated points.
Deliverables.
The deliverables for the topographical surveying included:
i. Survey plan for each settlement in dwg format showing the location of ground features,
elevations and contours at an interval of 1m.
ii. A list of survey points in csv format.
iii. List of established controls for every settlement in csv format.

5.2. Road geometric alignment design review
5.2.1. Introduction
Road geometric alignment defines the cross-sectional dimensional of the road; both the
carriageway and related facilities like roadside drainage, footpaths among others. The
geometry of the roadway is of central importance since it provides the framework for the design
of other road elements. In addition, the geometric design establishes the basic nature and
quality of the vehicle path, which has a primary effect upon the overall safety characteristics
of the street or highway.
In order to realize the most economic design solution, the road geometric alignment design
review for the road networks coded R2 (Major links roads in the settlements), cycling and
bicycle paths together with their side footpaths and drains was guided by the following design
manuals;
Road Design Manual Part 1- Geometric Design of Rural Roads- Ministry of Public
Works - January 1979.
Road Design Manual Part 111 – Materials and Pavement Design for New Roads –
Ministry of Public Works – August 1987.
Manual for standard details of drainage and Civil works – Ministry of works - June
1976.
Street Design Manual for Urban areas in Kenya (Ministry of Roads and Tranport) –
December 2020
On the basis of the above Road Design Manuals, the ideal functional classification for the
project roads is Class E. These are described as any road link to a minor centre, market or
local center (Minor Roads).
As per the Design, the reserve widths of access roads range from 9 to 12 metres.
The reserve width of footpaths is about 3 metres. Cases of encroachment are common in
unplanned informal settlements and this was checked during Design review.
The general approach to the route alignment was to use the corridor of the existing road as
much as possible. This was done to retain the present social function with minimum disruption
to existing and long-term residents. Minor realignments were however introduced to improve
the road geometry and remove potentially dangerous curves.
Since Kenyan people walk a lot along the arterial roads and in the urban streets, walking
occupies a large proportion among the travel modes. Therefore, non-motorised transport
(NMT) facilities for safe, comfortable and easy movement are necessary especially in traffic
congested areas and have thus been incorporated in all the roads in the three settlements of
Nakuru town to enable the residents to move from one part of the city to the next, meet,
conduct business, socialize, and relax

Cross Section
Figure 5-5: Typical cross section of the Vehicular roads in the 3 settlements of Nakuru
Design review of road cross-section was done based on the available road corridor, land use
and respective standards.
The choice of cross-section element was based on the traffic volumes which the road will have
to accommodate, the selected design speed; and the road function among others.
Basically the traffic volumes observed in Nakuru settlement is very low with most people opting
to walk on foot or use motorcycles.
The selected cross-section type based on the projected volumes and tables 4.2.2 of Road
Design Manual part 1 is shown below;
• Cross-section type : Type V
Horizontal Alignment
The horizontal alignments in this design follow the road reserve corridor confirmed by the
project surveyor as much as possible to avoid issues of land acquisition. The elements are
tangents/ straights, curves and transitions between tangents and curves. The control guiding
the selection, sizing and linkage are direction and consistency with topography.
The design criteria as laid out in the Road Design Manual require the horizontal alignment to
satisfy the requirement for minimum curve radii at a given speed.
The standards for the horizontal alignment design is shown in table below
Since the road has light traffic, user savings were insignificant; hence the alignment that gave
the lowest construction cost was adopted.
Vertical Alignment
Vertical alignment of a road refers to the longitudinal profile of that road under consideration.
These are grades (expressed as %), tangents /straights and vertical curves. Their choice is
controlled by class of road, topography, aesthetics, safety (view and sight distance). In Nakuru,
the slopes are well below 5%.
When undertaking vertical alignment design review, the Consultant ensured that the
earthworks are minimised to save on cost except for road sections prone to flooding or those
sections with high water table while at the same time satisfying safety requirements. The
Consultant also checked that sharp vertical curves were avoided as a safety measure in
design review. This will also enhance sight distances resulting in safe roads. Radii of vertical
curves were obtained after ensuring that minimum requirements for stopping / passing sight
distances have been addressed.
The standards adopted for the vertical alignment design are as shown in the table below.
Vertical Curves
The design criterion for vertical curve is ensuring the fulfilment of the requirement of the Road
design manual. The other design considerations include drainage, aesthetic and comfort for
vehicle occupants.
The vertical curves were checked for compliance to the design as stipulated in road design
manual part I.
Sight Distances
Sight distance is an essential criterion in design. It determines the ease with which drivers are
able to perceive potential hazards ahead of them so as to take the necessary preventive
action. Among the critical sight distances to be considered in this design review were; stopping
sight distance, passing sight distance, meeting sight distance. Both horizontal and vertical
sight distances were evaluated during design review.
Road safety
Road safety features encompasses those on the carriageway and those that are off-
carriageway. On-carriageway features include speed calming measures such as bumps which
are important especially for informal settlements which are highly populated. These were
reviewed in the design to ensure they have been provided for and that they meet the respective
specifications.
Junction Design
Due to the low volumes of the roads in the 3 informal settlements of Nakuru town, detailed
analysis of junctions was not carried out. The junctions were designed as simple junctions that
will be improved in future if traffic volume increases. The maximum junction radius is 20m
while the minimum junction radius is 6.5m which is due to space constraints but this is within
urban design threshold.
Table 5-7: Nakuru Settlements Roads - Results of Alignment Soils Trial Pits
A gravel stock pile source at “Karsan Ramji Quarry - Nakuru” was sampled and subjected
to some of the above tests. The results are included in appendix 3B and are as given below
in summary:
6. Plasticity = Non plastic
7. MDD (T180) = 1830 Kg/M3.
8. CBR (95% MDD T180 and 4 days Soak) = 25 %
9. Swell = > 0.1%
Based on the result of the one sample tested, this gravel qualifies for use as improved
subgrade / fill class S5 in its neat form. The stockpiled material may have been sourced from
different places and will most likely not be uniform. More samples should therefore be tested
before the stock pile is adopted for project use.
Sources from volcanic rocks such as basalts, phonolites diorites, and basement types such
as quartzites, sandstones, etc are in most cases suitable for most concrete and road work
uses and can be suitable sources. Samples from any source to be subjected to the following
basic laboratory tests:
• Los Angeles Abrasion (LAA);
• Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV);
• Sodium Sulphate Soundness (SSS);
• Specific Gravity and Water Absorption;
• Bitumen Affinity.
Results of tested sources to be subjected to the assessment criteria as per RDM Part III (1987)
which are given in summary in table 5.4.3 below.

10. ACV = 18%
11. LAA= 16%
12. S.S.D = 2.598
13. Water Absorption = 1.5%
Based on results of the one sample tested, stone from this quarry qualifies for use in reinforced
concrete, asphalt concrete (all) and surface dressing (all classes). More samples should
however be tested before the source is adopted for the project use.
5.4.6. Drainage structures review – minor and major structures, culverts, side
ditches, box culverts, bridges
Existing structures, which are both structurally and hydraulically adequate and are within the
revised alignment, may remain in their current state. However, existing structures, which are
structurally inadequate or hydraulically insufficient or not within revised alignment was
designed for reconstruction.
Design return periods of these structures was selected as explained in Choice of return period
section above.
The new drainage structures in the proposed designs was reviewed according to their spans
and sizes. The adequacy of their hydraulic capacity and structural efficiency was established
through hydrological analysis and hydraulic calculations.
Based on the topographical conditions the following measures were taken into account to keep
the proposed drainage system functional.
• Protect the drain by lining
• Choose proper type of drain
• Reduce the overall slope of drain with steps
• Discharge the drain flow into a natural outlet via a structure (divergent drain or culvert)
Drains running through settlements are either covered channels or box culvert
The sizing is done as per attached appendix.
Trapezoidal sections are proposed at rural sections, where the road is on embankment or in
cut. Though they need more space than triangular sections, their capacity is much more and
thus well suited for rural sections of the project roads. Hydrologic analysis has proved the
same and the results are presented in the Appendix. Their use is limited to open land far
away from residential areas like near the river at outfalls
Rectangular sections are well suited for roadside drains when large discharge is required and
in urban areas. However, they have to be covered or kept sufficiently away from traffic as they
are a hazard to traffic. This section is proposed for urban areas under separators and
footpaths. They are to be of lined type. Depths of these drains are finalized based on
hydrologic analysis of the drains.
The time of concentration is normally estimated using the ratio of distance travelled and
velocity of flow.
The formula is applicable for catchments less than 10 km2 (1000 Ha) which the settlement
catchment of 15.7 ha for London Hilton, 18.6 ha for kwa Murogi and 18 for Lakeview ha are
within.
The coefficient of runoff for kwa Murogi is 76 %, Hilton/London 95% and Lakeview settlement
76% as per table 5-9 (Runoff coefficients for rational formula).
From the 2015 Ministry of Water and Irrigation Practice Manual for Small Dams, Pans and
Other Water Conservation Structures in Kenya, 2nd Edition (Appendix A), the recommended
100 Year Return Period Rainfall Intensity for Nakuru is 7.5 mm/hr.

Hydraulic Design of Drains
Based on the quantity of runoff calculated through hydrological analysis, hydraulic designs of

For the worst scenario of a slope of 1/150 has been used.
R = the hydraulic radius [m], in which R=A/P where P is the wetted perimeter of

In lake view settlement, the storm water drains in Machakos Road will discharge into the
adjacent existing drainage channels in Flamingo road and into a natural watercourse.
The storm water drains in London/Hilton settlement roads are designed to discharge into the
existing drainage channels in Siaya Road
Figure 5-11: Outfall for Kwa Murogi Settlement roads
Water from drains in kwa Murogi settlement roads is to be discharged into the natural
watercourse to the swamp
To ensure flow of water down the slope, a maintenance team needs to be kept. This team will
de-silt the side drains and will guide the flow of water to follow a definite path. Sometimes,
side drains are also affected by upheaval resulting in the pushing up of their bed levels. In
such cases, water instead of flowing through the drains, passes transversely through the
pavement causing damage. The drainage gradients are also disturbed resulting in retardation
of the surface flow. The team besides clearing the side drains should also repair the upheavals
and depressions on the drain beds. They should ensure that the side drains are always at
levels lower than the pavement with appropriate gradients for efficient disposal of the water.
The lined drain and catch pits should be maintained regularly and checked for any blockage
or damage. The remedial measures should immediately be taken to ensure an efficient
drainage system

Where the formation level is the native subgrade, such as in cuttings where there is no improved
subgrade and, on all fills, before laying the sub-base, the upper 300 mm of in situ (native) subgrade
will be compacted to 100% MDD standard compaction (AASHTO T99).
Prior to placing the improved subgrade, the upper 150 mm of the in-situ subgrade shall be compacted
to 100% MDD (AASHTO T99) and the lower 150 mm to at least 95% MDD standard compaction.
From section 5.6.7 above, the following construction materials are indicated:
Natural Gravel for Subbase – Gravel meeting the 30% CBR criteria are rare.
Cement Improved Gravel for Subbase and Base – Most gravel will achieve sub base quality
with 2-4% cement improvement.
Graded Crushed Stone (GCS) for Sub base and Base (the class C required for T5 traffic will be
easily available from the identified “Kasan Ramji Quarry:).
Hand Packed Stone (HPS) for Base (required stone easily available from the identified “Kasan
Ramji Quarry:).
Asphalt Concrete (Type II) or Triple Surface Dressing Surfacing are suitable for T5 Traffic.
Therefore, the following pavement types are suitable for the T5 traffic loading applicable to the
various sections of the settlement’s roads.
1. Type LVII - AC Type II + HPS Base + Cement / Lime Improved Gravel Sub base.
2. Types 7 - (AC Type1I + GCS Base + Cement / Lime Improved Material Sub base.

Sub- Base Course (for traffic class T5)
Natural gravel with minimum CBR of 30% is not readily available in most locations. Therefore
recommended either:
Cement Improved Gravel (level of improvement 2 -4 % but subject to testing).
Or GCS Class D CBR (min)=80%, ACV (max) =35% and LAA (max) = 50%.
Base Course
Natural gravel with minimum CBR of 60% is not readily available. Therefore recommended either
Cement Improved Gravel (level of improvement 4 % (max) but subject to testing).
HPS and GCS class B 0/40.
Surface type
Triple Surface Dressing can be problematic in maintenance, therefore recommend AC type II
everywhere. A thickness of 50 mm (min) also improves on durability.

Stone is locally available within the quarries of Nakuru.
5.5.9. Maintenance and Sustainability Considerations
Maintenance free and sustainable pavement will be ensured by observing the following:
Provision of efficient drainage system. This can be enhanced by:
o Provision of side drains of a generous size, laid at falls that will allow them to be self-
cleaning, lined sides and therefore not liable to structural damage.
o Good internal drainage to the pavement layers – the recommended HPS base is
pervious and should be well drained. This can be ensured by extending all pavement
layers (subgrade, subbase, base and surfacing) across the shoulders.
Pavement layers (base, subbase and subgrade) should be well insulated from ingress of
surface moisture / water – By provision of an impervious surface layer. The recommended 50
mm AC surfacing will be reasonably impervious and resistant to surface breakages / potholing.
Maximum pressures: The distribution mains and service lines are designed so that maximum
water pressures do not normally exceed 60m static head of water at ground elevation.
The ground elevations of area the tank where water is being drawn is at El. 1960m.asl.
• Suitable for all forms of pipeline installations, such as above ground, on the ground,
buried, floating, horizontal directional boring, river crossings and slip-lining.
• It has the lowest repair frequency per kilometre compared with all other pressure pipe
materials used for water supply distribution, thus reducing maintenance costs.
• It has least labour and time requirements for its installation, thus less installation costs.
• It is leak tight. Its heat-fused joints create a homogenous, monolithic system which is
stronger than the rest of the pipe.
• Has a higher strain allowance for bending.
• With no exfiltration or infiltration, potable water losses and underground contamination
encountered in traditional piping systems are eliminated.
• Fewer fittings due to less joints and pipe flexibility.
• Eliminates the need for thrust blocks since its heat fused joints are fully restrained.
• Low reactivity to aggressive soils
•
The pipe sizes for this Karagita project will be DN 200mm of PN 16.
The pipe slopes are selected to minimize number of high and low points, and therefore
required number of air valves and washout valves.
parts of the supply for certain periods. Whenever possible the section valves shall be placed
in a joint valve chamber with air valves or washouts and upstream of these valves.
6.1.9. Marker Posts
Marker posts shall be provided along pipelines at every 200m, except where they follow
permanent roads. Marker posts will be placed at all bends and at river and road crossings
which cannot be easily found otherwise. The marker post should be as shown in the drawings,
minimum height 700mm with the size of the pipeline inscribed on it. The marker posts shall be
blue in colour with white lettering.

grid power supply supplemented by solar power. The Kihoto water supply Project has a newly
sunk borehole and elevated steel water tank which can be pumped into the Police line –
Karagita pipeline. The site needs a power connection and a de-fluorination system before
being pumped into the system
Based on this, a direct line from police line of diameter 200mm has been proposed to be
connected to the Karagita tanks with no tapping in between. This will avail the water to to the
Karagita tanks to serve the area of Karagita and this will increase the pressure for the areas
that are experiencing low pressure in Mirera area. In implementing the Policeline-Karagita
distribution mains, the Mirera rising main shall not be disconnected to form a loop in case
maintenance is being carried out on the proposed Policeline-Karagita distribution mains.

1. Engineering considerations:
a) Expected sewage flow and fluctuations.
b) Expected wastewater quality
c) Topography of Nakuru town, its slope and terrain with respect to the locations of
existing / proposed collector sewer systems.
d) Ground water depth which affects construction, sewer infiltration, structural design
(uplift considerations).
e) Soil bearing capacity and type of strata expected to be met in construction
(affecting cost and side slopes of sewer trench excavations), etc.
f) Accessibility, ease and practicality of construction of the proposed works.
4. Cost considerations:
a) Minimum capital, operating and maintenance costs.
b) Compensation for acquired assets on land take.
Qd = Qs + Inf
Where:
Qd = total dry weather flow, m3/s
Qs = flow from sanitary sources, m3/s
Inf = flow from groundwater infiltration, m3/s
15% groundwater infiltration was allowed under dry weather peak conditions (Red Book,
CSIR) and was using the equation provided below:
Where:
Inf = Infiltration (m3/day/m)
TAF = Total anticipated flow (m3/d)
TNL = Total network length (m)
Qw = Qd + QRDII
Where,
Qw = total wet weather flow, m3/s
QRDII = rainfall derived infiltration and inflow, m3/s
Excessive RDII may put the components of the sewerage system out of compliance, increase
operational and maintenance expenditures, cause overflows into the environment and
people's properties, and expose the public to possible health risks. The design of the
wastewater collection system allows for a 50% additional capacity to take care of
incidental/accidental RDII (Sewer Design Manual, CMA). Further measures below are
recommended to avoid excessive RDII beyond the allowed capacity:
i) Provision of heavy, secure and watertight manhole covers to avoid vandalism and
consequent inflows.
ii) Design of manhole cover levels at least 250 mm above ground level to minimize inflows.
Concrete pipes
Concrete pipes are structurally more stable and durable than plastic or steel pipes and would
require lower protection backfill covers. However, there is risk of chemical attacks on concrete,
which is likely to reduce the life span of concrete in situations where harsh industrial wastes
are released. These pipes have higher frictional resistance values, and in flatter areas where
the ground gradients are shallow, they would require deeper excavations to achieve the
correct gradient for self-cleansing velocity. This would result in higher construction costs. Due
to their higher porosity they also allow higher ingress of groundwater, which will increase the
total flow reaching the STP. They are generally heavier and harder to transport over long
distances than plastic or steels pipes, with the resultant higher costs and numbers of
breakages.
Metal Pipes
Ductile iron or steel pipes that are lined with protective materials could also feasibly be used.
The pipes are generally more expensive than uPVC or concrete pipes and are heavy to
transport. However, their higher structural strength means that they are ideal for use in some
circumstances, e.g., in road or aerial river crossings, or in sewage pumping stations for
pressure piping.
Trunk and primary branch sewers will be designed for a minimum diameter of 225mm and
house connections a minimum diameter of 100mm. In some circumstances, where small bore
shallow sewers are proposed, the minimum size allowed for collectors pipes will be DN150
uPVC.
The pipe sizes for to be adopted for each settlement are as indicated in the book of drawings.
Sewers will be designed to connect such that their soffits are at the required level and their
depths are sufficient to take the gravity flows of sewage from the adjacent developments being
served. Sewer depths deeper than 6.0m will be avoided where possible and the minimum
acceptable depth from ground level to the crown of any pipe is 1.0m
UPVC Pipes
uPVC pipes have lower frictional resistance and allow little ingress of groundwater. uPVC
pipes are lighter, and more flexible and thus easier to transport than concrete pipes. They are
also less likely to break in transit. Due to their resistance to chemical attacks, they can be used
in special circumstances such as in marshy areas where the pH of the soils is likely to be high.
Where the pipe is exposed above ground, use of steel pipes, which are epoxy-lined externally,
will be recommended. The pipes shall comply with BS 3505 pipe Class C, or approved
equivalent as given in Table 7-1.

• Manhole Location and Spacing- Manholes are located at every change of alignment,
gradient, level or diameter, at the head of all sewers and branches and at every junction
of two or more sewers. The spacing between manholes in straight sections range between
30 m and 100m.
• Manhole materials- Precast concrete manholes are preferred due to the following
reasons:
- Produced in a quality-controlled plant environment
- Modular flexible design
- Watertight structures easily achieved
- Resists buoyant forces
- Superior strength
- Quicker construction
• Manhole Dimensions- The minimum internal dimension of the manhole is determined by
the internal diameter of the sewer plus 150mm benching on both sides. The minimum
internal dimensions also vary with depth, as given in Table 6-2.
The bottom part shall be full benching to allow for streamline flow-through for the sewage.
Manhole benching shall be laid at a grade not steeper than 1 in 5 nor flatter than 1 in 25 and
should be a battered back equally from each-side of the manhole channels such that the
opening at the level of the soffit of the pipes has a width of 1.2d where d is the nominal pipe
diameter.
• Manhole invert drops- Manhole invert drops are provided based on criteria in Table 7-
3, to ensure that the overt and hydraulic grade line of the outgoing sewer is maintained
at a lower elevation than the overt and hydraulic grade line of the incoming sewer, to
avoid backing up.
• Sewer manhole backdrops- Sewer manhole backdrops are provided where the
difference in elevation between incoming and outgoing sewers is more than 0.6m,
otherwise the vertical drops are avoided by adjusting the sewer invert slopes and
manhole invert drops.
The sewers are designed to flow no more than 66% full when conveying the peak dry weather
flow, in order to allow for the following requirements:
The hydraulic roughness is taken as 0.6x10-3 m for velocities greater than 1.0 m/s and 1.5x10-
3
m for velocities less than or equal to 1.0 m/s.
1⁄2
𝑉𝑉 = (1⁄𝑛𝑛)𝑅𝑅 1⁄6 �𝐾𝐾𝑠𝑠 (𝑆𝑆𝑠𝑠 − 1)𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝 �
where
R is the hydraulic radius of flow section,
Ss is specific gravity of particle,
dp is particle size and
Ks is a dimensionless constant with a value of about 0.4 to start motion of granular particles
and about 0.8 for adequate self-cleansing of sewers.
A velocity of 0.6 m/s would be required to transport sand particles of 0.09mm with a specific
gravity of 2.65. This velocity was adopted as the minimum design velocity to flush out silting
that may occur during the low flows.
The design for the minimum self-cleansing velocity requirement is achieved by maximizing the
sewer slopes.
The design for maximum velocity and Froude number criteria was achieved by minimizing the
sewer slopes.
The design considers sewers to be laid within plot boundaries at a minimum gradient of 1:60
and the collector sewer for the first 8 plots at the head of the sewer to be laid at a gradient no
flatter than 1:80. Thereafter the slope is calculated in order to achieve the recommended
minimum self-cleansing velocity.
Hazen-Williams formula was used for friction loss calculations in HDPE forcemain sewers,
with a recommended design roughness coefficient, C=120.

The head loss is proportional to the velocity head at the outlet sewer.

The correction factor corresponds to the effect of another inflow pipe or surface flow from an
inlet, plunging into the access hole, on the inflow pipe for which the head loss is being
calculated. The correction factor is applied only when h is greater than daho, otherwise Cp = 1.
In order to minimize collapsing trenches, the contractor could either provide shoring along the
trench or provide stable excavation slopes. It is recommended that the contractor shall carry
out his own investigations to determine suitable excavation slopes or apply shoring where
there is limited working space.
The excavation shall extend at least 150mm below the bottom of the sewer pipe and pipe bell
to a hard unyielding foundation material.
Zone A: From the bottom of the trench to the level of center line of the pipe. This zone shall
be refilled with granular material (sand, fine gravel or other approved materials) for Bedding
Class B. The material must remain firm and not permit displacement of pipes; as such it has
to be uniformly graded or well graded. Well graded material is most effective for stabilizing
trench bottoms and has a lesser tendency to flow than uniformly graded materials. However,
uniformly graded material is easier to place and compact above sewer pipes.
Zone B: From the level of the center line of the pipe to a level 300mm above the top of the
pipe. This Zone shall be backfilled with selected material from the trench excavations or
borrow area and compacted to 95% MDD.
Zone C: From top of Zone B to the top of the trench. This Zone shall be backfilled with random
material from the trench excavations and compacted to 95% MDD.
Because the pipe jacking relies completely on trenchless excavation, there will be less of a
direct impact on the environment and ground reinstatement and restoration costs will
practically be nil.
Traffic loading is however negligible for deep sewers with a ratio of depth to diameter of sewer
diameter over 2.
The critical loading combination occurs when the sewer is empty (i.e. no internal pressure)
and the external pressure due to backfill and traffic loading is maximum. Since traffic loading
is negligible in deep sewers, only backfill earth loading is considered.
The earth load on the sewer pipe is computed from the Marston’s formula:
The computed earth loads on various sizes and depths of sewer pipes are summarized in
Table 7-9, considering the worst-case scenario of damp ordinary sand (cohesionless granular
material).
The ultimate three edge bearing strength = 1.25 x the proof load. The safe working strength
is based on the formula:
The trench condition is considered with Bedding Class B. The load factor for granular bedding
Class B is 1.9 (various literature).
Reinforced concrete flat slab tops are provided at the manhole cover level and at transition
from a larger diameter base to a smaller diameter riser section. They are designed to withstand
anticipated loads from supported riser sections, soil and hydrostatic loads, surcharge loads,
live loads and impact loads.
Each will have a clear opening of 600mm with standard heavy-duty cast-iron manhole cover
on the manhole cover slabs to facilitate access for routine inspection and maintenance of the
sewer.

Both the World Bank’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12) and the Resettlement
Policy Framework (RPF) require the development and implementation of a Resettlement
Action Plan (RAP) to address any anticipated displacement impacts of a Bank-financed
project. Moreover, the Environmental Management and Coordination Act, 1999, provides for
a RAP whenever displacement is identified as an impact during Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA).
i. All types of losses are identified, clearly defined and properly categorized to reflect the
nature and scope of the loss.
ii. A standard or measure for defining eligibility and entitlement in order to have a fair
basis for assessing compensation for the loss or impact suffered.
iii. Compliance with provisions of Kenyan Laws and World Bank Operational Policies (OP
4.12, paragraph 2(b)): that resettlement activity shall be conceived and executed as
development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the PAPs
to share in project benefits.
iv. Displaced persons will be compensated for their losses at full replacement cost and
provided assistance for disturbance prior to the beginning of civil works.
v. A comprehensive database, based on which values will be assessed, validated in the
event of disputes and, more importantly, serve as the database for monitoring and
evaluation of the resettlement instrument.
vi. The PAPs were consulted and given the opportunity of participating in the design,
implementation and monitoring of the resettlement.
vii. A Grievance & Redress mechanism will be established, to acknowledge and resolve
conflicts arising from Resettlement and Compensation.
• All the civil works have been designed within the existing road reserve, this was
achieved by using the Physical Development Plans (PDPs) developed by the by the
county government office of County Physical Planner.
• All Sites for setting up the proposed flood lights are on government land within the
settlements where no one claims ownership, this also was achieved through the use
of Physical Development Plans (PDPs) developed by the by the county government.
• Realignment of the Project Routes in areas where the impact of resettlement is likely
to be more
At the conceptual stage during the project development, social and environmental screening
was undertaken to determine the nature and magnitude of the potential impacts on the
environment, people and livelihoods; and determine the level of environmental and social
assessment required. The social screening revealed that the project will be constructed within
the government gazetted road reserves which currently has been encroached at isolated
sections by traders and temporal structures either as house extension or business sheds. This
therefore triggers World Banks safeguards policy OP 4.12 which now requires that RAP to be
prepared which will ensure that the PAPs are adequately compensated for the loss they are
likely to incur.
In order to minimize impacts on the project to peoples assets and livelihood, the design team
ensured that all the civil works have been designed within the existing road reserve, this was
achieved by using the Physical Development Plans (PDPs) developed by the by the county
government
The RAP was prepared based on the survey plans undertaken for the project which identified
the project routes within the settlement. The main objective of the RAP was to minimize the
adverse impacts to project affected persons (PAPs) and enhance or at least restore their
livelihood to that of the pre-project level. This was achieved through restricting the
infrastructure within the designated road reserves and therefore minimizing the need for
acquisition of private land which could lead to displacements. Moreover, an assistance
package has been proposed in the entitlement matrix for the minimum disruptions particularly
from encroached structures and loss of income from small businesses along the road
corridors.
A socio-economic survey of the settlements was conducted, and 100% census carried out for
all the project affected persons. Moreover, the communities were involved in the whole
process from project identification, identification of potential impacts on their livelihoods, and
proposed mitigation measures. Community meetings were organized, and the Settlement
Executive Committees (SECs) involved in enumeration of the PAPs. This RAP report will also
be publicly disclosed to the communities before implementation.
i. Project Appraisal Document (PAD) for KISIP which is the official project document
ii. Environmental and Social Management Framework (EMSF) which provides a
framework for identification and mitigation of potential environmental and social
impacts arising from any KISIP project intervention
iii. Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) which provides a framework consistent with the
World Bank’s OP 4.12 for mitigating physical and livelihood displacement impacts.
iv. Conceptual Design Report KISIP Nakuru 2014 prepared after community consultation
and project identification that converts community needs into engineering solutions.
v. Socio Economic Report for Nakuru 2014 prepared as part of this consultancy covering
all the four settlements to provide baseline information for design and monitoring
project interventions.
vi. Community Consultation Report Nakuru 2014 which documents community
involvement in the identification and prioritization of project interventions.
vii. Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Report that is being prepared
simultaneously with the RAP, as part of the consultancy.
viii. Survey Plans, Registry Index Maps (RIMs) and Physical Development Plans (PDPs)
that shows the official way leaves and any public utility land. The maps provides for
the main settlement access road (R1) minimum width of 12m or 39.6ft and internal
settlement roads (R2) require a minimum width of 9m or 29.7ft and sewer way-leave
of 6m. Therefore, any structure or livelihood within the above referred dimension was
considered to be an encroachment. Project Map is attached as appendix to this report.
ix. Engineering Designs and Layout plans prepared for the proposed interventions.
A standard questionnaire was used to collect basic PAP census information including
household members (resident and non-resident) by age, sex, ethnic group, and relationship
to head of household, education and occupation and housing conditions. The census also
documented housing conditions, health conditions economic activities, sources of income and
household expenditures. This information was be used (i) to establish a list of PAPs; (ii) to
establish a socio-economic profile of PAPs based on existing conditions; and, (iii) to provide
a baseline for resettlement monitoring and evaluation.
The standard questionnaire was also used collect inventory of losses information from PAPs
about assets that are affected (i) structures by construction type, use, area, ownership/use
rights and location, as well as the extent of loss;; (ii) business losses, by types, amounts and
duration of losses. The information was provided by the PAP as required and validated by the
team on the ground. The questionnaire was accompanied with photographs of the PAP, key
affected assets; and, full GPS data to locate the PAP and all key assets. The questionnaire
was signed by the PAP or representative.
In conducting the census the team followed the required procedures for notifying people and
collecting, validating, approval and disclosing information on eligible PAPs and affected
assets, stemming from national laws and regulations. The team also ensured that the question
of the establishment of a “cut-off date” as per the World Bank policies was discussed and
agreed in the initial consultations.
The RAP team ensured PAPs or their representatives were present during asset enumeration.
The PAPs were required to sign the asset inventory collecting tool to show a confirmation that
it’s the true copy of the information collected. Photos of PAPs were taken by the RAP team
standing in front of their assets, and are presented as an appendix to this report.
Stakeholder Consultations
The community and other stakeholders have been involved in all project processes.
Community consultations were held during socio-economic surveys to identify and prioritize
project interventions based on the needs identified the resources available and the likely
impacts of the proposed interventions. Screening of the proposed interventions for
environmental and social impacts was done with community involvement. The potential for
large-scale relocation of people and livelihoods was one of the considerations in prioritizing
the selected project interventions.
The RAP team involved the community and the Project Affected Persons in developing this
RAP. Before commencement of the census and enumeration PAPs’ and affected assets and
livelihoods, a number of meetings were held within the settlement with the local Settlement
Executive Committees SECs committee members, general public, and Project Affected
Persons (PAPs). The objectives of the stakeholder consultations was:
a. To sensitize the community about the project and potential impacts on people and
livelihoods;
b. Provide a platform for the community to air views and concerns which are relevant to
the RAP and which must resolved)
c. Involve them in key processes of census and the undertaking of the affected asset
inventory,
d. Provide an opportunity for the community to themselves propose the most appropriate
mitigation measures for asset and livelihood losses,
e. To seek support from the community and other all relevant stakeholders in the
preparation and implementation of the RAP.
Tables overleaf give a schedule of the community meetings held and the issues discussed
respectively.
2 Members asked about the RAP team respondent clarified to the members that
findings of previous reports i.e. some of the reports the community was asking
the geotechnical reports and any were technical reports that might not make any
other sense to them if disclosed to them, however the
RAP and Valuation reports as well as ESIA reports
will be disclosed to them through the KISIP county
representative office and National Environment
Management Authority (NEMA)
3 Members wanted to know if the RAP team respondent pointed out that government
project will actually proceed to project always proceed to completion and the
completion proposed projects will be implemented once all
relevant studies have been completed
4 Members wanted to know if the RAP team respondent clarified that all casual
labour will be sourced from the labourers will be sourced from the local settlement
community during construction through the Settlement Executive Committee and
of the project also qualified skilled labourer for vacant positions
within the contract. However, the RAP team
cautioned the community that the contractor will
come with his skilled work force and that they
should not confuse and claim that the he has hired
them from other settlement.
5 Members raised the issue of RAP team respondent informed the meeting that
valuation and if they will have the community have all the say and authority in the
any say on values provided by valuation process and that they are free to hire a
the valuer private valuer for the purpose of rates comparison
Valuation will be done at a full replacement cost as
required by OP 4.12
The RAP team also held meetings with other relevant institutions critical to the preparation
and implementation of this RAP. The purpose of the consultations was obtaining institutional
inputs on critical issues relating to resettlement. Table 2.2 illustrates outcome of the meetings.
Valuation of crops and trees was use based on government of Kenya Ministry of Agriculture
rates and Kenya Forest Service rates however to ensure full replacement and compensation
a disturbance allowance was used advised to all for full replacement cost.
Livelihood valuation was based on average daily income from the respective livelihood activity,
for rental income, monthly average income from rent was computed for 2months, the gross
income was therefore computed as guided by the entitlement matrix for other assistance
required
None of the residential structures enumerated will be totally affected, the impact to the
structures is partial to the areas encroaching to the road reserve. The entitlement matrix has
proposed various entitlements depending of the type of loss and the category of PAPs, the
structures mentioned in the review comment above have been enlisted.
Type of Losses
Loss of Land
The project interventions in all the three settlements will not involve loss of private land through
any form of acquisition. All the interventions have been designed to use the designated way
leaves. As such no person will lose land to which they have a title. All the PAPs are
encroachers and not landless. They have just extended their buildings and businesses beyond
their boundaries. It is important to note that even after the project reclaims the way leaves, no
one is going to be left landless. They will push back the structures into their plots.
The kind of displacement that is anticipated will be as a result of reclaiming the encroached
road reserves. Consequently, there will be no compensation for land, only developed assets
on the road reserve. It is also not expected that the structure owners who will lose their
structures will move elsewhere outside the settlement.
Loss of Structures
This is the most important type of loss identified. The structures have encroached on the road
reserves and will need to be removed before the commencement of works. Most of the
structures are of temporal nature with a few permanent ones. The structures are used for
dwelling either by owners or are rented out; while others are used for commercial purposes.
The impact on the structures will be two-fold:
a. Total loss: where the whole structure will need to be removed or where the residual
will not be viable and functional.
b. Partial loss: where part of the structure will be affected, and the residual will still be
viable and functional with reconstruction/repairs.
The Table below shows the type and number of structures affected in the four settlements.
The extent to which individual structures will be affected is described in The PAP and Asset
Register.
Loss of Shelter
From the census, loss of shelter will be experienced in two ways:
a. Some structure owners who themselves reside in the affected structures (partially or
wholly) will be affected during demolition and reconstruction. If the structure will be
wholly be affected and need to be constructed within the lot boundaries, alternative
accommodation will have to be temporarily provided or adequate notice and facilitation
given to complete the reconstruction before demolition. In case of partial loss, the
structure owner may not necessarily move, but steps will be taken to ensure the
minimal disruption to their occupancy is mitigated.
b. Tenants occupying the affected structures and who may be required to either
temporarily or permanently seek alternative accommodation. Measures will be put in
place to mitigate the likely disruption, including payments to facilitate the relocation.
Loss of Livelihoods
The following categories of livelihood loss were identified:
a. Structure owners/landlords who will lose rental income as a result of tenants relocating
from the affected structures
b. Loss of income from businesses that will be affected as a result of removal of either
permanent or temporal business premises. Most of these businesses are located on
the road reserves.
Type of common business the figure 5-3 below illustrates the common business which the
PAPs engage in within the settlements; popular business in the settlement is grocery shops
(45.5%) followed closely by food kiosk/hotel (22.7%) and category others which include
charcoal vending, movie shops and movie stalls (18.2%).
Average daily income: Majority of the respondents whose structures are likely to be affected
recorded making daily incomes at an average of Kshs 200 to Ksh 2000 depending on the kind
of business one is engaged in, monthly incomes were mainly from rental income which ranged
from a minimum of Kshs 1000 to a maximum of Kshs 1000.
Entitlements
The Entitlement Matrix describes compensation and related assistance for each category of
affected PAP. Eligibility reference has been made to Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF)
developed for the KISIP Project which proposes full replacement cost to assets and livelihoods
anticipated to be lost.
Livelihood Restoration
All categories of PAPs described below are eligible to the livelihood restoration packages
Livelihood restoration packages that are application for such kind of resettlement are as
illustrated below:
i. Employment priority during construction both skilled and non-skilled
ii. Transitional assistance – this could include adequate time allowed for the PAPS to
relocate and salvage construction materials
iii. Additional assistance to vulnerable groups.
Vulnerable People
Vulnerable people are people who by virtue of gender, ethnicity, age, physical or mental
disability, economic disadvantage, or social status may be more adversely affected by
resettlement than others and who may be limited in their ability to claim or take advantage of
resettlement assistance and related development benefits. Vulnerable people are potentially
eligible for specific assistance under this Resettlement Action Plan are those who are affected
by the Project land acquisition, compensation and resettlement activities.
The study revealed cases of a widows and elderly who are described in the PAPs category
chapter under this study, such PAPs are eligible to some kind of assistance from the project
due to their nature.
The following measures have been included in the RAP for extra assistance to the vulnerable
groups for 16 no identified vulnerable persons.
Additional financial support (5,000) disturbance allowance recommended in the report in
addition to the provided compensation Extra Assistance will be provided on a case by case
basis
Notification
The PAPs will be served with adequate notice of 30 days to relocate upon compensation and
before the commencement of works. All the stakeholders in the project (e.g. KURA, NEMA,
and KPLC) will also be notified of the relocation exercise.
Payment of Compensation
In line with the World Bank operational policy on involuntary resettlement (OP 4.12), KISIP will
ensure that the conditions of PAPs are restored to the status that is at the minimum
commensurate to their pre-project status. A list of all PAPs has been documented in the PAP
register. In addition, every person affected by the project registered with their national
identification card for easy identification for possible compensation.
In addition to the above government institutions, the community through the settlement
executive committee (SEC) are central to preparation and implementation of this RAP
The SECs were formed during the project inception to mobilize the community and provide a
link between the community, the consultant, the County Government, and KISIP. The
Committee has been involved in all stages of RAP development and is expected to continue
playing an active role in monitoring its implementation.
Disclosures of RAP
The RAP report once approved by the World Bank Safeguards team will be disclosed in the
World Bank Info Shop, locally the report will be disclosed at the county KISIP coordination
offices in the County, Copies of the report will be made available to the SEC committees of
respective settlements
KISIP PCT is obligated to disclose documentation locally, and will make the following
available:
• RAP in English (one copy available at all times in Project information offices, one copy
given to the resettlement committees),
• Update notes when needed, given to each of the resettlement committees and publicly
available at Project information offices.
It should be noted that the procedure in the schedule starting from notification of the PAPs
before their displacement through compensation and resettlement will be done in phases to
synchronize with the various phases of the project.
The RAP Implementation Schedule defines the duration and timing of the key milestones and
tasks. The major component tasks for the schedule include:
a. Disclosure of RAP
b. Audit of PAP register and compensation package due to each PAP
c. Resolution of emerging grievances
d. Notification of PAPs prior to the commencement of the activities that will affect them
e. Compensation and/or Supplementary Assistance
f. Commencement of project operations
g. Monitoring and evaluation, including baseline update

Stakeholder Consultations
The assessment involved consultations with relevant stakeholders in target settlements within
Nakuru County. The aim of stakeholder consultations was to give a platform for information
sharing and opinion gathering in relation to the proposed Project. Consultations were done in
form of public meetings and key informant interviews. The issues were than analyzed and
presented to design team for finalization of Project designs and planning on how best to
implement the Project.
*Details of stakeholder consultations are presented in Chapter 6 of this Report and evidence of
minutes and attendance list annexed on Annex 2.
E.1 Potential Project Impacts
The Project impacts during the assessment were generated based on the analysis of the
proposed Project activities in relation to the Project area environment. The impacts arising during
each of the phases of the proposed development namely; construction, operation and
decommissioning, were categorized into:
(i) Creation of employment to people living within the informal settlements through
improved access.
(ii) Improved living standard of people within the settlement through improved road
infrastructure
(iii) Providing a linkage of the settlement to other parts of the city.
(iv) Provides alternative route to access the settlement, could be used during disaster
times example by ambulances and fire engines.
(v) Enhanced access to social amenities like schools and health facilities within he
settlement.
(vi) Improved road side drainage hence reduced risks of flooding.
(vii)The Project will improve the living standard and well-being of the local economy
through provision of road and street lighting within the settlements.
(i) The flood lights will lead to Improved Security within the settlement due to
provision of floods within the settlement.
(ii) Improving the roads and street lighting infrastructure within the settlement will
result to development of associate social services for example health facilities,

(iii) However, there are inevitable cases of encroachment on some sections of the
way leave and road reserve in the settlements therefore OP 4.12 will be
triggered. Cases of resettlement are limited to temporal structures which will be
compensated as per the RAP Report for the Project.
(iv) Provisional Budget of Kenya Two Million is required for implementation of
mitigation measures of potential negative environmental impacts identified in
the report. A separate budget has been provided for RAP implementation.
11.3. Conclusion
Key findings of the Environment and Social Impact assessment of the proposed KISIP
investments Nakuru County Informal Settlements of Lake View, Kwa Murogi, London/Hilton
and Karagita are as follows:
(i) The Project has an overall positive impact on the informal settlements as it will
improve the living conditions of people living and working in the informal
settlements, through improving accessibility, drainage, waste, and security.
(ii) The Project does not have significant and potentially irreversible negative
impacts on the environment and people. The few identified negative impacts
associated with construction Projects can easily be mitigated, and an
Environmental and Social Impact Management Plan has been prepared as part
of this report, whose implementation will be monitored to ensure compliance
and protection of the environment. A monitoring plan to ensure this happens
has also been developed.
(iii) The Project will not lead to displacement of people as the roads are designed
to follow the designated road reserves on the physical development plans
(PDPs). However, there are encroachments on the road reserves mostly of
temporal structures for informal traders. A RAP has been prepared to mitigate
against this to ensure that their livelihoods are not negatively impacted upon.
However, the Project will impact on people’s assets and sources of livelihoods which encroach
into the road reserves as summarized below from the Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan
(ARAP) prepared for the Project.
(iv) The EMP should be fully implemented and should form part of the contract with
the selected contractors who will undertake the works. The implementation of
the EMP should be monitored in accordance with the monitoring plan in this
report. The Resident engineer should supervise and report on the
implementation regularly as provided.
(v) The RAP will be fully implemented before the commencement of the Project
civil works
(vi) Provisional Budget of Kenya Shilling Two million should be included in the
bidding documents for implementation of mitigation measures of potential
negative impacts.
According to the Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) and
World Population Prospects: The 2019 Revision - United Nations Population Division,
CO2 emissions per capita in Kenya are equivalent to 0.33 tons per person. (based on

change. Street design that encourages use of public transport and active modes can enable
a shift away from the use of polluting cars. Street design features such as tree cover and
permeable surfacing also contribute to urban resilience, helping to mitigate the urban heat
island effect and absorb
water runoff.
In this study, the consultant has considered a number of approaches to mainstream climate
change resilience in the neighborhood infrastructure development. Resilience to climate
change is the capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from the impacts of hazardous
climatic events while incurring minimal damage to societal well-being, the economy and the
environment. In short, it is the preparedness to recover from climatic shocks or perturbations
in the neighborhood systems.
The designs have been reviewed from a climate resilience perspective for the projects (Roads,
storm water drainage, footpaths, sewer and water) in the four settlements of Nakuru County.
A number of interventions have been incorporated in the design review to increase the
robustness and resilience of the roads, storm water drains, sewer lines and water pipelines to
help counteract additional climate change impacts.
Planting of trees
Planting grass
Use of coloured paving blocks interspersed
with green grass at the joints ,hence
projecting a green view on birds eye.
Nakuru County KISIP Team has promised to
5. Mitigation efforts towards introduce sustainable practices in the transport and
Greenhouse gases emission mobility for example, use of electric vehicles for inter
by motor vehicles commute and capacity building in climate proofing
through continuous mainstream of the facility.

14.1. Introduction.
As part of the detailed design study, a detailed cost estimate for the 2 contracts in Nakuru
County has been prepared based on the project development proposal and designs. The
project cost is based on a detailed analysis basis, which involves Unit rate analysis,
computation of quantities and building the bills of quantities.
References have been made to the following,
i.). Cost Estimation Manual for Road Construction and Maintenance – Popular Edition
2022-2023 by Kenya Roads Board (KRB)
ii.). Cost Estimation Manual for Road Maintenance Works- Popular Edition 2019 by
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)
iii.). Quotations from Various suppliers (Quotations annexed to this document)
In the derivation of unit rates the following factors have taken into account:
Equipment hire rates (Current market rates)
Current labour rates
Haulage distances
An assumed duration of time for completion of an allocated volume of work
Resource allocation and analysis for bill items
Construction aftercare for various items
Overheads and profits for contractors.
Comparison with major projects of a similar nature and location currently in progress
Proposed rate for 1 m3 of C20/20 = 11,500 (From unit rate analysis for C20/20 Concrete)
Cost of concrete in 1 meter of storm water drain= 11,500*0.295
= 3,392.50

Quantities for various construction items have been computed and structured into different
items of the Bill of Quantities (BOQ), using guidelines from The Standard Specifications for
Roads and Bridges (MOR) and the Civil Engineering Standard Methods of measurement
(CESM IV).
The computation sheets are attached.
14.4. Building the Bills of Quantises and Bill Pricing.
This is the final process in establishment of cost estimates.
The Bill of Quantities (BoQ) covers the scope of works for construction of the entire project
as scoped, as detailed in the development proposal and detailed designs.
The unit rates have been inserted in the Bill of quantities accordingly, and final estimated cost
of project determined (See the attached take off sheets)
Based on the above documents and guidelines, the Bill of Quantities items have been
structured as shown below;
22 Day works
23 Concrete Paving Blocks
25 Environmental Safeguards
26 HIV & AIDS
The Bill of Quantities (BoQ) covers the scope of works for construction of the entire project
as scoped, as detailed in the development proposal and detailed designs.
Bill Pricing and Finalization of Cost Estimates
This is the final process in establishment of cost estimates. The unit rates are inserted in the
Bill of quantities accordingly, and final estimated cost of project determined.
The cost estimates for the project is submitted in a confidential volume and hence no details
or summaries are included in this report.
Below is a summary in proportion (%) of the main works, in relation to the total cost of the
project works for each settlement:
Total 100%
The Total cost of the project is inclusive of 10% contingencies and 16% Value Added Tax
(VAT)
Construction Period
A construction period of 12 months and defect liability period of 1 year for contracts 1, 2 and
3 has been considered for the project completion. It is considered that after completion of
Design Project Report, tender processes and other pre-construction activities, the construction
of the project shall be starting from 2023 onwards. With 12 months’ construction period, the
project will be likely to be opened for use from 2024 onwards.
15.1. Recommendations
These KISIP model need to be supported to improve socio-economic lifestyles of slum
dwellers in Kenya
The consultant has a view that these infrastructure facilities once improved will spur a lot of
transformation in the socio-economic lifestyle of the residents hence the client need to widen
/extend the project in other areas of the city.
15.2. Conclusions
The improvements to be brought about by these developments will open up these areas for
other developments as property values will rise up.
The perennial problem of flooding will be sorted out once and for all.
The sanitation facilities will ease healthcare pressure at household levels which in turn will
relieve healthcare workers to put more effort on preventive measures including research.
