Section 4 - Financial Proposal - Standard Forms

APPENDIX. Financial Negotiations - Breakdown of


Remuneration Rates
(Not to be used when cost is a factor in the evaluation of Proposals)

1. Review of Remuneration Rates

1.1 The remuneration rates for staff are made up of salary, social costs, overheads, fee that is
profit, and any premium or allowance Paid for assignments away from headquarters. To
assist the firm in preparing financial negotiations, a Sample Form giving a breakdown of
rates is attached (no financial information should be included in the Technical Proposal).
Agreed breakdown sheets shall form Part of the negotiated contract.

1.2 The PE is charged with the custody of funds from Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
and is exacted to exercise prudence in the expenditure of these funds. The PE is,
therefore, concerned with the reasonableness of the firm’s Financial Proposal, and,
during negotiations, it expects to be able to review audited financial statements backing
up the firm’s remuneration rates, certified by an independent auditor. The firm shall be
prepared to disclose such audited financial statements for the last three years, to
substantiate its rates, and accept that its proposed rates and other financial matters are
subject to scrutiny. Rate details are discussed below.

(i) Salary
This is the gross regular cash salary Paid to the individual in the firm’s home
office. It shall not contain any premium for work away from headquarters or
bonus.

(ii) Social Costs


Social costs are the costs to the firm of staff’s non-monetary benefits. These items
include, inter alia, social security including Pension, medical and life insurance
costs, and the cost of a staff member being sick or on vacation. in this regard, the
cost of leave for public holidays is not an acceptable social cost nor is the cost of
leave taken during an assignment if no additional staff replacement has been
provided. Additional leave taken at the end of an assignment in accordance with
the firm’s leave policy is acceptable as a social cost.

(iii) Cost of Leave


The principles of calculating the cost of total days leave Per annum as a
Percentage of basic salary shall normally be as follows:

i total days leave x 100


Leave cost as Percentage of salary = ------------------------------
[365 - w - ph - v - s]

1
Where w = weekends, ph = public holidays, v = vacation, and s = sick leave.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (KPPRA) 40


Section 4 - Financial Proposal - Standard Forms

It is important to note that leave can be considered a social cost only if the PE is
not charged for the leave taken.

(iv) Overheads
Overhead expenses are the firm’s business costs that are not directly related to the
execution of the assignment and shall not be reimbursed as separate items under
the contract. Typical items are home office costs (Partner’s time, no billable time,
time of senior staff monitoring the project, rent, support staff, research, staff
training, marketing, etc.), the cost of staff not currently employed on revenue-
earning projects, taxes on business activities and business promotion costs.
During negotiations, audited financial statements, certified as correct by an
independent auditor and supporting the last three years’ overheads, shall be
available for discussion, together with detailed lists of items making up the
overheads and the Percentage by which each relates to basic salary. The PE does
not accept an add-on margin for social charges, overhead expenses, etc., for staff
who are not Permanent employees of the firm. In such case, the firm shall be
entitled only to administrative costs and fee on the monthly Payments charged for
subcontracted staff.

(v) Fee or Profit


The fee or profit shall be based on the sum of the salary, social costs, and
overhead. If any bonuses Paid on a regular basis are listed, a corresponding
reduction in the profit element shall be exacted. Fee or profit shall not be allowed
on travel or other reimbursable expenses, unless in the latter case an unusually
large amount of procurement of equipment is required. The firm shall note that
Payments shall be made against an agreed estimated Payment schedule as
described in the draft form of the contract.

(vi) Away from Headquarters Allowance or Premium


Some Consultants Pay allowances to staff working away from headquarters. Such
allowances are calculated as a Percentage of salary and shall not draw overheads
or profit.

(vii) Subsistence Allowances


Subsistence allowances are not included in the rates, but are paid separately and
in local currency. No additional subsistence is Payable for dependents—the
subsistence rate shall be the same for married and single team members.

Standard rates for the Particular country may be used as reference to determine
subsistence allowances.

2. Reimbursable expense’s
2.1 The financial negotiations shall further focus on such items as out-of-pocket
expenses and other reimbursable expenses. These costs may include, but are not
restricted to, cost of surveys, equipment, office rent, supplies, international and
local travel, computer rental, mobilization and demobilization, insurance, and

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (KPPRA) 41


Section 4 - Financial Proposal - Standard Forms

printing. These costs may be either unit rates or reimbursable on the presentation
of invoices, in foreign or local currency.

3. PE Guarantee

3.1 Payments to the firm, including Payment of any advance based on cash flow
projections covered by a PE guarantee, shall be made according to an agreed
estimated schedule ensuring the consultant regular Payments in local and foreign
currency, as long as the services proceed as planned.

1. INTRODUCTION

In Pakistan, there is a rapid rate of urbanization, both from rural migration, as well as from local
population growth. The World Urban Population has crossed the 50% mark in 2007, meaning that more
people now live in Urban Areas than Rural Areas. Pakistan will reach that tipping point in 2020, as per
some estimates. It is an accepted fact that development means Urbanization, and there is no country in
the World that has developed, while remaining predominantly rural. In fact, there is a direct correlation
between the level of urbanization and the level of socio-economic development.

The Pakistan economy is transforming with an increasing reliance on urban economic growth.
With economic activities in the urban areas producing 78% of the gross domestic product, the aging
urban infrastructure is unable to provide basic services that will stimulate this economic growth and
create jobs. Improved urban planning and service delivery, combined with large infrastructure
investments, will provide the building blocks for sustainable urban economic growth.

Urbanization is an essential pre requisite for development, as no country in the World has
developed without the process of urbanization. In fact, there is a direct correlation between
urbanization and GDP of a country. Urban areas are better managed, have lower cost of service delivery
per capita, provide better living conditions and better opportunities for personal growth and
accomplishment. The new growth framework launched by the Federal Government, also puts huge
emphasis on cities as prime movers, which can revolutionize our economy. During the last couple of
decades, the ratio of GDP from agricultural sector has been declining, with corresponding increase in
industrial and services sectors. In fact the real value addition in the agricultural economy is highly
dependent upon a vibrant and prosperous urban sector.

The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, after the KPK-FATA merger, looks forward to expedite
work on the development projects in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and to make the best use
of the available resources to facilitate the government in bringing its tribal areas into the mainstream.

The Report of the Committee on FATA Reforms 2016 highlights Urbanization as a strategy for
Socio Economic Development of FATA. It states that an important component of the development plan
for the newly Merged Districts would be the concept of social transformation of FATA by encouraging
urbanization, by setting up modern urban hubs in all Agency HQs and other important trading centers.

The Ten Year FATA Development Plan (TYFDP 2018-28) envisages the development of Urban
Centers in Merged Districts. The existing Urban Hubs have to be upgraded, specially the Agency Head
Quarters.

The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is cognizant of this challenge, and with reference to
Urban Sector Reforms, has established a dedicated policy and research unit in Planning and
Development department. Proposed Mandate of the Urban Policy Unit is to assist in formulation of
Urban Provincial Planning and policy framework, policies, bye laws and rules. It is to lead inter
departmental, inter provincial and inter cities coordination for synergies and integration, and to
coordinate with donors on urban matters. This Unit has to undertake capacity building and technical
support to line departments in managing urban affairs, and to provide guidance and advice on
institutional reforms and organizational restructuring. This unit will formulate economic regeneration
and growth strategies for urban clusters and urban region, and will maintain Provincial GIS, and
generate research and disseminate innovations in urban sectors.

2. BACKGROUND

Urbanization presents one of the key challenges and, at the same time, opportunities in the
new millennium. Urbanization is taking place at a rapid pace and is beyond the effective control of most
governments across the world. Even in jurisdictions where growth control boundaries have been
implemented, such boundaries have been repeatedly revised to meet the demand for growth.

The scale and complexity of urban problems are increasing everywhere. All cities must plan
ahead and develop strategic Master Plans to enable a sustainable future in the rapidly changing urban
environment. And these plans must be reviewed and updated at a regular interval, to ensure a better
economic, social and environmental future. Those cities that fail to plan ahead and execute the plans
will not be competitive in the globalized world. Urban economies are contributing significantly to
national exchequer and at the same time have become key employment markets. Cities indeed are
important engines of economic growth and provide significant economies of scale in the provision of
jobs, housing and services.

Urbanization is a universal phenomenon, and is going on at varying pace in different countries.


In Pakistan, the rate of urbanization is one of the fastest in the world. At the moment, Pakistan is almost
two thirds rural, but it is projected that the Urban Population will increase to fifty percent by 2030, even
earlier. The migration of rural to urban, coupled with the natural increase in population, and the
transformation of villages into towns, means that urban living will be the way of the future.

Previous effort in newly Merged Areas regarding Urbanization was the Tribal Areas Rural-to-Urban
Centers Conversion Initiative (TARUCCI), started in 2012, which envisaged the development of at least
two small urban hubs in every tribal agency of FATA. The idea was to develop Master Plans for 14 major
towns, with facilities like Housing townships, bazaars/commercial areas, upgraded residential schools
and colleges for girls and boys, Civic amenities and services including sewerage and garbage disposal
facilities, Bus and truck terminals etc. the idea was also to provide security through Cantonments in
urban hubs managed by Army or Frontier Corps garrison already present at the selected locations. The
Government of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa intends to develop urban areas of the Merged Districts as
sustainable, livable and well managed engines of economic growth. A comprehensive, strategic,
regional, and long-term plan is required for all cities and districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

NOTE:

• Separate Consultants will be hired for each package of MASTER PLAN, and all Consultants will
work together where required and would share data.
• The study is for Urban Centers; Khar, Ghalanai, Kalaya, Parachinar, Miranshah, Wana, Jamrud
and Landikotal including selected district headquarter cities with a population of above 30,000.
Each Consultant should indicate the City Regions where they can work, and separate financial
bids will be requested for each MASTER PLAN.
• The study is to be referred as KHAR MASTER PLAN 2040, GHALANAI MASTER PLAN 2040, KALAYA
MASTER PLAN 2040, PARACHINAR MASTER PLAN 2040, MIRANSHAH MASTER PLAN 2040, WANA

3. RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY

Master Plans are to be developed for all major urban centres of the Erstwhile FATA including
Jamrud, Landikotal, Khar, Parachinar, Wana, Miran Shah, Kalaya and Ghalanai.

Some efforts have been done in this regard previously, but there were issues with those plans.
Some efforts done for the Merged Districts are covered below;

3.1 Tribal Areas Rural-to-Urban Centers Conversion Initiative (TARUCCI)

Previous effort in FATA regarding Urbanization was the Tribal Areas Rural-to-Urban Centers
Conversion Initiative (TARUCCI), started in 2012, which envisaged the development of at least two small
urban hubs in every tribal agency of FATA. The idea was to develop Master Plans for 14 major towns,
with facilities like Housing townships, bazaars/commercial areas, upgraded residential schools and
colleges for girls and boys, Civic amenities and services including sewerage and garbage disposal
facilities, Bus and truck terminals etc. the idea was also to provide security through Cantonments in
urban hubs managed by Army or Frontier Corps garrison already present at the selected locations.

The Fourteen Urban Centres identified were, Khar, Ghallanai, LandiKotal, Kalaya, Ghiljo, Sadda,
Parachinar, Miranshah, Mir Ali, Wana, Sarwakal, Darra Adam Khel, Darazinda FR DIKhan and Jandola FR
Tank. Progress made was that Master Plans were developed for Khar, Sadda, Parachinar, LandiKotal and
Ghalanai. But these Master Plans were incomplete and could not be implemented fully. The ADP
Scheme TARUCCI had World Bank support as well. It was prematurely closed in June 2016-17. It was also
not focused on Urbanization and Urban Planning.

Urban Planning is needed as that is the only mechanism to provide high quality infrastructure at
less per capita cost, with improved facilities for FATA Residents, in a secure environment. Urbanization
finds mention in the Report of the Committee on FATA Reforms 2016, as a major Socio-Economic
Development and Transformation strategy for FATA.

The major objective for establishment of Urban Policy Unit is to work in an integrated manner
towards improving urban governance in the province. This unit will formulate economic regeneration
and growth strategies for urban clusters and urban regions, and will maintain urban data set and GIS,
and generate research and disseminate innovations in urban sectors. To achieve the above, the Urban
Policy and Planning Unit intend to develop Master Plans for Cities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa:

 The broad purpose and mandate of the Urban Policy Unit is to work in the formulation and
improvement of integrated and strategic Urban Policy, Urban Planning, and Urban Management
(institutional) including urban regulatory (legal) framework.

 Urban Unit will ensure and lead integrated inter departmental, inter provincial and inter cities
coordination for synergies and integration. This also includes coordination with donors on urban
matters.

 Urban Unit will ensure that the line Departments do not lack capacity to ensure implementation
of solutions proposed, and it will provide Capacity building and Technical support to line
departments in managing urban affairs and institutional reforms.

 Urban Unit will formulate economic regeneration and growth strategies for urban clusters and
urban regions.

The Provincial Government Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has tasked the Urban Policy Unit to hire services of
a reputed firms having vast experience in master planning, strategic spatial planning, and urban and
regional planning for Master Planning of 7 Urban Headquarters Centers of Merged Districts.

4. SCOPE OF THE STUDY


The scope of the project is explained below but not limited to the following;
a) A comprehensive vision will be developed for the Agency Head Quarters of Merged Districts.
b) Administrative boundaries will be delineated at inception phase which shall be refined in later
stages after situational analysis.
c) Detailed field surveys and studies will be conducted and situational analysis will be performed
for the existing conditions of urban structure and all sectoral profiles will be prepared to suggest further
proposals.
d) Planned hierarchy of settlements and an integrated and systematic growth of trunk
infrastructure and services in the province.
e) It will provide guidelines for the emerging developments corridors and suggest parameters for
reducing migration to big urban centers.
f) It will provide guidelines for the proper development of surrounding rural areas.
Therefore, an independent Master Plan will be prepared for each headquarter city. The plan will cover
20-year period to cater for the development need of the city.
5. STUDY OBJECTIVES
This project is conceived and designed to develop a long-term holistic planning vision through a
collaborative process which is essentially expected to take the form of a strategic planning framework
i.e. “Master Plan” to shape Urban Centers physical future form.
The objectives of the master plan project are;
1. To create a long term shared “Planning and Development Vision” for the administrative capital
while taking all stakeholders on board through a collaborative process.
2. Identify and delineate a comprehensive and common administrative boundary which will be
adopted as administrative limits for integrated spatial planning, urban development, resource
management and service delivery.
3. Strategies to provide affordable, diverse and environmentally sustainable housing to cater for
the demands arising from all income groups and classes from society. Plan must focus on
provision of a variety of housing including vertical condos, mixed use, vertically shared 2-3
storied residences, low income housing and the in-demand suburban housing.
4. Identification of areas/corridors for the future spatial growth of the district headquarter while
addressing environmentally sustainable & equitable opportunities, disaster resilience and
enhanced mobility & accessibility.
5. Propose comprehensive strategies for the promotion of sustainable local economic growth, a
diversified local & regional economy and enhancing investment climate for the region to be
competitive and economically robust in the long run.
6. Formulation of plans and strategies including projects to protect the physical environment and
land fertility of the area to utilize its potential at regional level.
7. Formulation of strategies to conserve and maintain the natural terrain of the area and promote
local tourism to enhance livelihood opportunities.
8. Enhancing accessibility and mobility facilitated through planned growth of the district
headquarter augmented by ancillary road infrastructure. This augmentation and enhancement
should be primarily focused on pedestrian infrastructure and public modes of commuting.
9. Strategies for the provision of improved and environmentally sustainable infrastructure to
extend essential urban municipal services at affordable price including water, electricity, gas,
sewerage, drainage and telecommunication across the town limits to enhance quality of life.
10. Strategies to enhance urban security and resilience against natural disasters.
11. Strategies for Institutional re-structuring/reforms and capital Improvement Planning to support
effective plan implementation.
12. Devising Action Plans for different areas of plan implementation and projects development.
These plans should assign implementation responsibilities, phasing for different plan tiers and
financing options.
13. Assessing the feasibilities for development of workable framework for plan implementation and
projects development through public private partnerships (PPP), joint ventures, BOT and
through standalone public interventions.
14. Further, strategies to establish an improved system of urban governance to enhance livability,
improved service delivery and financial sustainability.
5.1 The Master Plan specific objectives are:

a. To critically review the current policies and ongoing schemes of urban development to pinpoint the
short comings, suggest appropriate changes in the current policies and strategies to remove its
deficiencies.

intensification / densification currently and in the future;
h. Assess the adequacy of municipal services (storm water, solid waste management, sewage
treatment and municipal water supply) and social amenities such as (parks and playground, public
and private transits, bus stops and terminals; roads capacities, junctions improvement and parking
facilities) to achieve the required levels of intensification for identified and conceptualized
development scenarios;
i. To suggest a legal, financial and technical mechanism between urban planning and land
administration systems to enable feasible land to be accessed and used for development in future.
j. Recommend appropriate criteria for intensification proposals. Criteria should address matters such
as, but not be limited to:

7.2 Task B- Background Study/Analysis

The consultants will study in detail the existing situation through background studies/analysis
and will project all components of the MASTER PLAN over the plan period 2040.

7.2.1 Land-use/land Suitability Analysis

a. Mapping of the historical growth trends of the city

The consultants are required to conduct research on the historical urban growth trends and drivers
of urban growth over the period of last twenty years. The probable sources for mapping the trends over
each five-year periods are the municipal records. Plotting of historical growth trends on GIS maps of the
city-region and articulating the drivers of urban growth.

b. Housing trends and needs assessment through projected population growth estimates

It has been observed that the housing needs have been the primary drivers of urban growth
necessitated by rural to urban migration due to various factors. The growth pattern and projected
growth needs over next 20 years need to be analyzed and mapped.

c. Density maps

To reduce urban sprawl, there is a need to promote high density mixed use development.
Therefore, the consultants will devise policy guidelines for the establishment of high density mixed use
development both within the existing urban boundaries including the future growth areas. The
consultants are required to prepare maps showing the existing and proposed high density mixed use
development.
d. Land use Base map

The consultants are required to develop a GIS/MIS based detail land use Base map for the
quantification of built up, infilling, brown fields and open land available for future development for the
projected city boundary till 2040. The consultant will prepare a detail land use map for the city.
The consultant/firm with the consent of UPPU will procure the satellite imageries of 0.5m or
better to develop an up to date map of the city including surrounding areas in order to support
suitability analysis of existing and proposed land uses for urban development and other ancillary uses.
Land use survey of each type is a necessary prerequisite of this study. The consultants will prepare the
Base map at a scale of 1:2000 with the following details:
a) Counter lines drawn at counter interval of 5 meter.
b) Boundaries (District, Tehsil, sub-division, City, Neighborhood Council, Village Council)
c) All major and minor streets, roads, railway lines and airports
d) Water supply, sanitation, sewer, SNGPL and telephone networks
e) Water bodies (spring, streams, river and other water bodies)
f) Residential (planned and un-planned areas, sprawl, building heights – single, double or multi
story, density)
g) Commercial (retail, whole sale and ware houses)
h) Industrial (all types)
i) Amenities (education, health, religious, banks, police stations, libraries, and community halls
etc)
j) Parks, playgrounds and state land
k) Brown fields (for re-development)
l) Open spaces (agriculture all types, vacant, and graveyards etc)
m) Land cover analysis with raster imagery (5 raster images having minimum 7 bands) and spatio-
temporal growth analysis

7.2.2 Land Management

Consultants are required to critically analyze existing land management policies/practices and
develop better options regarding urban land management/land revenue system to improve the existing
land management in urban areas through a GIS/MIS based land management system.

7.2.3 Taxation and Revenue Generation

It is of key importance that urban planning and associated work should be sustainable over long
time. The following tasks hence are part of the review, analysis, strategy and recommendations;
a) Conduct a consultative review and discern municipal taxation from other urban provincial taxes
like property tax, land tax, capital value tax, stamp duty etc.
b) Review the current urban taxation structure
c) Volume of urban tax collected and patterns of reinvestment in the municipal services (this

integrity of cities, environment and resources.
II. The project will provide guidelines for feasible and high priority investment in urban
infrastructure.
III. The project will help to identify and strengthen the government policies/ programs in urban
sector. It will provide an opportunity not only to strengthen the existing local government
institutions but will also to develop new urban management initiations responsible for
growth and development of the city creating opportunities for investment and jobs creation.
IV. The project will provide a venue to public for debates regarding population, housing, land
use, supply of land, transport & other infrastructures for future needs.

slum and to reduce its negative impacts on environment, particularly on the life supporting
system (water, air and land).
XI. Help in preventing loss of environment recourses such as pristine rivers and natural
recourses due to unplanned development.
XII. Help in tracking the dynamics of urban land uses and other developments in relation to
environment and economy in the future.
XIII. More reliable data will become available for planning, monitoring and rational decision.
XIV. Facilities in better sitting of future urban infrastructure development works such as industrial
estate, commercial areas & shopping malls, roads and streets, for achieving economic
development while conserving the natural recourse base of the region. This will also reduce
mitigation cost of poorly cited developments.
XV. Availability of a GIS / RS facility in Urban Policy Unit where all the line department will have
access for up to date data / information acquisition. Through proper training and capacity
building measures the skills of the concerned departments on using GIS and remote sensing
techniques for implementation and up-dating MASTER PLAN will be developed and
institutionalized. This will greatly save on future planning costs. The establishment of
Geographical information system lab/ center at provincial level which will have maps of
various urban land uses which can be over laid, updated or re-produced at any desired scale
and a comprehensive status of each area marked for various uses, similarly the area for each
use can be quantified and highlighted.
XVI. The ultimate beneficiaries will be the people living in the large urban centers (District
headquarters) of KPK for which these MASTER PLANs will be prepared and implemented.
XVII. The information collected will be helpful to industries and proponents of other development
projects including EPA in formulating environmental protection measures, especially for
Environment Impact Assessment of various projects within the jurisdiction of these cities.
XVIII. The MASTER PLANs will strictly enforce land use planning and zoning that will ensure
protection of green spaces, environmental sensitive areas, parks and play grounds and other
open spaces in and around nearby big urban centers and areas of outstanding beauty and
conservation of bio- diversity.

10. ORGANIZAITON RESPOSIBILTIES:

To implement the project in association with national and international consultants a strong
organizational setup within the Deputy Commissioner Office is required. The Deputy Commissioner of
the concerned district shall be in charge of all the initiatives of the planning process from provincial level
to TMA’s and union council level. The planning process includes MASTER PLANs or development plans,
developmental control and building control.

The preparation of MASTER PLANs is a solid step towards transforming cities of KP into engines
of economic growth and the Government of KP is keen to discourage sprawl and un-controlled
urbanization and therefore investing huge financial resources in the proposed activities. The
development of these plans itself will not achieve the objectives of prosperous cities but will need a
dedicated, enlighten and professional organizational setup working directly under the Chief Executive
Officer of the province at provincial level and under Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner at
divisional and district level respectively. Such type of institutional setup will ensure to align the Annual
Development Program (ADP) of the provincial government with the strategies or plans proposed in the
MASTER PLANs.
