 SCHEDULE 3 TERMS OF REFERENCE CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR CONDUCTING A FEASIBILITY STUDY AND PREPARING DETAILED DESIGNS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW BRIDGE AT WISMAR I.
INTRODUCTION 1.01 The Co-operative Republic of Guyana (Guyana) had a population of 746,955 (375,150 females and 371,805 males) in 2012.

The latest poverty assessment in 2006 showed that 36.1% of the population was poor, with higher prevalence in the hinterland areas'.

The Human Development Report (2016) however reveals steady improvement in living conditions, especially life expectancy, mean years of schooling, and gross national income per capita.
The country thus attained a Human Development Index value of 0.638 in 2015 (an improvement of 17.9% since 1990).

Notwithstanding progress made, at-risk groups including women, Amerindians, persons with disabilities (PWDs).

and youth.

face vulnerabilities.

For example, female labour force participation was 43.6% compared to 68.9% for males, and 56% for the total population in 2017 (Third Quarter).
Comparatively, the female unemployment rate was 15.3%, as opposed to 9.9% for males, and 12% for the total population in 20172.

Social exclusion and vulnerabilities faced, impact all aspects of socioeconomic life including accessible air, road and riverine transportation infrastructure, and particularly affects hinterland subpopulations.

The socially inclusive no one left behind 2030 Sustainable Development Goal's agenda requires programming to address services disproportionately accessed by such groups.
An effective transportation system connects people to the supply and distribution of goods and 1.02 services in both social and economic sectors, and is therefore essential to sustainable growth and development.

Guyana's transportation sector consists of road, air, riverine and maritime modalities.
The Government of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana (GOGY) therefore seeks to improve specifically identified services in three sub sectors, which all fall under the purview of through the Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MP!).

These improvements are: (a) road, through the construction of a new bridge at Wismar; (b) air, through the upgrade of the aerodrome at Lethem; and (c) riverine, through the construction of a new stelling at Parika.
1.03 The Demerara Bauxite Company constructed the Mackenzie-Wismar Bridge during the period 1966 to 1967 and equipped it with a single lane railway track.

The major objective at the time was to facilitate the transportation of bauxite from the West Bank mines, to the processing plant that was located on the East Bank of the Demerara River via railway cars.
Mining activities on the West Bank have since declined, and the bridge is now primarily used by an estimated 40,000 persons from the Linden community, loggers, miners and other transients.

The responsibility of operating and maintaining this toll bridge is with the Linmine Secretariat (a division of NICIL3).
The Mackenzie-Wismar Bridge has assumed significant importance within Linden and Guyana as a whole as it is a major connection artery between Georgetown/Demerara and many interior/hinterland locations of Guyana connecting to Brazil.

On average, about 3,000 vehicles cross this bridge daily resulting in traffic congestion during peak periods as it can only accommodate one lane of traffic at a time.
The construction of a new bridge at Wismar has been afforded top priority by GOGY as slated in MPI's National Land Transport Strategy and Action Plan (2016-2026).

1 2 3 The hinterland population recorded a prevalence of 74%, the Amerindian population 78%, and urban population 19% (Guyana Measuring Poverty 2008).

Unemployment rates are higher for youth age cohorts and more so for females and rural dwellers: males 17.3%, females 28.0%, both males and females 21.6%; rural 24.5%, and urban 20.5%).
Further, some 15% of PWDs never attend school, 40% of unemployed suffer job losses due to disability, and 79% of families face financial difficulties (Bureau of Statistics 2006).

A private Limited Liability company incorporated by the GOGY for the purpose of subscribing for, taking or otherwise acquiring, holding and managing the Government's shares, stocks, debentures or other securities of any company, co-operative societies or other corporate body.

Public consultation work should be carried out at an early stage of the ESIA field work and once again when the draft ESIA report is available, before detailed designs commence.
The results of the public consultation process should be reported in the ESIA 7.

Climate Vulnerability Assessment: (a) (b) The consultants shall prepare a CVA to identify and evaluate the effects of climate change on the project components and to identify resilience measures that should be included in the proposed project.

The CVA methodology used should he consistent with recommendations from the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change.
They should begin by reviewing available documentation and information, including National Communication to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), previous studies and identifying local meteorological data.

They should begin by consulting relevant stakeholders to obtain the historical experience of past climate-related events.

The analysis should be quantitative and include the following: (i) (ii) Characterisation of the area and relevant infrastructure.
Drawing on the information obtained from available documents and consultations with key stakeholders describe the proposed project area, including delineation of the zone potentially exposed to the relevant climate and climate change hazards, such as: flooding severe weather systems, high winds, extreme temperatures,), collecting any additional relevant physical, biological, environmental, economic and social characteristics of the study area.
In coordination with other technical teams the consultant shall present a detailed description of proposed alternatives and the identification of the elements that are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

Characterisation of relevant climate variables and establishment of a climate baseline.

The key climate variables would include, inter-olio, temperature and precipitation changes, (e.g.
maximum daily precipitation as the basis for assessing the risk of local floods from surface runoff), and associated extreme rainfall and wind speeds..

Both historical data and future scenarios will be required with the former being used for ground-truthing and to establish a climate baseline.

The consultant should identify the hydraulic, hydrologic, topographic variables affecting project components and surrounding areas.
The consultant will be (iii) (iv) ANNEX 1 TO SCHEDULE 3 Page 4 expected to provide advice on the appropriate recurrence intervals for meteorological events impacting the proposed siting and design of the infrastructure.

Given the expected life of the bridge, estimates should be presented by end of century climate scenarios.

Estimate future impacts and vulnerabilities.


Once the climate change scenarios have been established the relationship between the changes in the climate parameters (such as maximum temperature, precipitation and wind) and the impacts on the project components must be quantified.

For each site, where appropriate, biophysical models such as hydrodynamic models can be used to analyse the physical interactions.
The expected detail for each critical site (where impacts are likely to occur) will depend on site-specific considerations.

The most vulnerable sections "hotspots" should be identified, including roads, power, telecommunication linkages.

water supply, etc.

The impacts on communities should also be assessed.

For these areas, the consultant should prepare an impacts matrix describing for each relevant climate variable: the outcome (e.g.

more severe weather systems., more heat waves).


the impact on the physical (including community) assets and the impacts on community livelihoods, including quantification of the magnitude of these potential losses.

The CVA should also assess the adaptive capacity of the communities.

i.e.. their existing coping strategies and how they have been adapted to previous extreme impacts.
The Consultant is expected to assess the institutional capacity of N [CIL to mainstream climate change considerations into their plans and operations.

When assessing the impacts on the community sex-disaggregated data shall be collected to infer on the differential impacts on women and men, their assets, their perception of and exposition to threats and coping strategies in times of disasters.

Adaptation assessment.


The CVA Report should define the climate relevant parameters to be used for the detailed design of all works comprising the recommended alternative.

All components shall include climate resilience considerations defined in terms the appropriate risk levels (return periods) as expected by end-of-century, or at the end of the expected economic life of the infrastructure.
The consultants shall also identify and prioritise the most appropriate adaptation measures to incorporate into the project design to address the potential climate impacts.

The consultants should consider a range of resilience options (e.g.

SCHEDULE 4 TERMS OF REFERENCE CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR: CONDUCTING A FEASIBILITY STUDY AND PREPARING DETAILED DESIGNS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW STELLING AT PARIKA 1.

 INTRODUCTION The Co-operative Republic of Guyana (Guyana) had a population of 746,955 (375,150 females and 1,01 371,805 males) in 2012.

The latest poverty assessment in 2006 showed that 36.1% of the population was poor, with higher prevalence in the hinterland areas'.
The Human Development Report (2016) however reveals steady improvement in living conditions, especially life expectancy, mean years of schooling, and gross national income per capita.

The country thus attained a Human Development Index value of 0.638 in 2015 (an improvement of 17.9% since 1990).

Notwithstanding progress made, at-risk groups including women.

Amerindians, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and youth, face vulnerabilities.
For example, female labour force participation was 43.6% compared to 68.9% for males, and 56% for the total population in 2017 (Third Quarter).

Comparatively, the female unemployment rate was 15.3%, as opposed to 9.9% for males, and 12% for the total population in 20172.

Social exclusion and vulnerabilities faced, impact all aspects of socioeconomic life including accessible air, road and riverine transportation infrastructure, and particularly affects hinterland subpopulations.
The socially inclusive no one left behind 2030 Sustainable Development Goal's agenda requires programming to address services disproportionately accessed by such groups.

An effective transportation system connects people to the supply and distribution of goods and 1.02 services in both social and economic sectors, and is therefore essential to sustainable growth and development.

Guyana's transportation sector consists of road, air, riverine and maritime modalities.
The Government of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana (GOGY) therefore seeks to improve specifically identified services in three sub sectors, which all fall under the purview of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI).

These improvements are: (a) road, through the construction of a new bridge at Wismar; (b) air, through the upgrade of the aerodrome at Lethal); and (c) riverine, through the construction of a new stelling at Parika.
The Parika Stelling (a stelling is a riverine transport terminal catering to a range of watercraft) is 1.03 located on the East Bank of the Essequibo River and is the main hub for riverine transportation services between Parika and the neighbouring communities separated by the Essequibo River.

Government ferry services operated by the T&HD and privately owned speedboat operators, presently service the routes between Parika and Leguan, Wakenaam, Supernaam and Bartica.
Demand for riverine transport has increased steadily over the years.

According to T&HD, the Essequibo ferry service carried 384,000 passengers and 81,000 vehicles from January to November 2017, which represents a significant increase when compared to 150,000 passengers and 13,000 vehicles transported in the year 2000.

The stelling functions as a major social and economic site for personal and commercial transactions.

Trade in agricultural produce is conducted on the stelling itself.
Other micro and small scale vending operations, including selling of fuel for the marine crafts and agricultural processing are conducted in the immediate/surrounding environs of the stelling.

1 2 The hinterland population recorded a prevalence of 74%, the Amerindian population 78%, and urban population 19% (Guyana Measuring Poverty 2008).
Unemployment rates are higher for youth age cohorts and more so for females and rural dwellers: males 17.3%, females 28.0%, both males and females 21.6%; rural 24.5%, and urban 20.5%).

Further, some 15% of PWDs never attend school, 40% of unemployed suffer job losses due to disability, and 79% of families face financial difficulties (Bureau of Statistics 2006).
SCHEDULE 4 Page 2 The physical structure of the sidling, comprising primarily block wall, timber and galvanised steel 1.04 cladding, has deteriorated significantly over the years, and as demand on the Facility increased, numerous attempts at repairing through patching rotted timber members and changing rusted galvanised cladding have become uneconomical.

In spite of the many efforts, the facility is quickly becoming a threat to public safety.
The upgrading of the Parika stelling has been prioritised and has been highlighted in the MPI Infrastructure Plan (2017-2025) that was recently presented to Cabinet.

2.

floods and wind.

Both historical data and future scenarios will be required with the former being used for ground-truthing and to establish a climate baseline.
The consultant should identify the hydraulic, hydrologic, topographic and bathymetric variables affecting project components and surrounding areas.

The consultant will be expected to provide advice on the appropriate recurrence intervals for meteorological events impacting the proposed siting and design of the infrastructure.

Given the expected life of the works, estimates should be presented for climate condition expected at end of economic life, or by mid-century climate scenarios.
Estimate Future Impacts and vulnerabilities.

Once the climate change scenarios have been established the relationship between the changes in the climate parameters (such as average temperature and precipitation) and the impacts on the coastal zone and project components must be quantified.

For each site, where appropriate, biophysical models such as hydrodynamic models can be used to analyse the physical interactions.
The expected detail for each critical site (where impacts are likely to occur) will depend on site specific considerations.

The most vulnerable sections "hotspots- should be identified, including access roads, power, telecommunication linkages, water supply, etc.

The impacts on communities should also be assessed.

For these areas, the consultant should prepare an impacts matrix describing for each relevant climate variable: the outcome (e.g.
changes in precipitation patterns increasing droughts and possible siltation), the impact on the physical (including community) assets and the impacts on community livelihoods, including quantification of the magnitude of these potential losses.

They should also assess the adaptive capacity of the communities, i.e., their existing coping strategies and how they have been adapted to previous extreme impacts.
When assessing the impacts on the community sex-disaggregated data shall be collected to infer on the differential impacts on women and men, their assets, their perception of and exposition to threats and coping strategies in times of disasters, The Consultant is expected to assess the institutional capacity MPI and T&HD, to mainstream climate change considerations into their plans and operations.

Adaptation assessment.


The CVA Report should define the climate relevant parameters to be used for the detailed design of all works comprising the recommended alternative.

All components shall include climate resilience considerations defined in terms the appropriate risk levels (return periods) as expected by mid-century, or at the end of the expected economic life of the infrastructure.
The consultants shall also identify and prioritise the most appropriate adaptation measures to incorporate into the project design parameters to address the potential climate impacts.

The consultants should consider a range of resilience options (e.g.

slope stabilisation measures, seawall design, increased maintenance, increased drainage, alternative routes in the event of flooding, river training, eco-system based approaches, institutional/policy measures, etc.).
An economic and social analysis should also be conducted of each technically feasible adaptation option, showing the ANNEX 1 TO SCHEDULE 4 Page 5 costs and benefits, or a cost-effectiveness analysis lithe adaptation options are expected to deliver the same benefits.
The Consultant is expected to comply with the technical quality requirements and the information required, including itemise costs of the recommended adaption measures in order to receive a dedicated allocation from the Department for International Development's International Climate Fund.

SCHEDULE 5 TERMS OF REFERENCE CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR CONDUCTING A FEASIBILITY STUDY AND PREPARING DETAILED DESIGNS FOR THE UPGRADE OF THE LETHEM AERODROME 1.
INTRODUCTION 1.01 The Co-operative Republic of Guyana (Guyana) had a population of 746,955 (375,150 females and 371,805 males) in 2012.

The latest poverty assessment in 2006 showed that 36.1% of the population was poor, with higher prevalence in the hinterland areas I.

The Human Development Report (2016) however reveals steady improvement in living conditions, especially life expectancy, mean years of schooling, and gross national income per capita.
The country thus attained a Human Development Index value of 0.638 in 2015 (an improvement of 17.9% since 1990).

Notwithstanding progress made, at-risk groups including women, Amerindians, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and youth, face vulnerabilities.

For example, female labour force participation was 43.6% compared to 68.9% for males, and 56% for the total population in 2017 (Third Quarter).
Comparatively, the female unemployment rate was 15.3%, as opposed to 9.9% for males, and 12% for the total population in 20171.

Social exclusion and vulnerabilities faced, impact all aspects of socioeconomic life including accessible air, road and riverine transportation infrastructure, and particularly affects hinterland subpopulations.

The socially inclusive no one left behind 2030 Sustainable Development Goal's agenda requires programming to address services disproportionately accessed by such groups.
Guyana is currently in the process of drafting a new Green State Development Strategy (GSDS), 1.02 which will guide the country's economic and social development over the next 15 years.

The objective of the Strategy is to reorient and diversify Guyana's economy, and therefore reduce reliance on traditional sectors and opening up new sustainable income and investment opportunities in higher value adding sectors such as ecotourism and renewable energy.
This also involves creating development opportunities in the hinterland, thereby reducing migration to coastal areas.

One of the necessary conditions for achieving this is an efficient transportation system.

An effective transportation system connects people to the supply and distribution of goods and 1.03 services in both social and economic sectors, and is therefore essential to sustainable growth and development.
Guyana's transportation sector consists of road, air, riverine and maritime modalities.

The Government of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana (GOGY) therefore seeks to improve specifically identified services in three sub sectors, which all fall under the purview of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI).
These improvements are: (a) road, through the construction of a new bridge at Wismar; (b) air, through the upgrade of the aerodrome at Lethem; and (c) riverine, through the construction of a new stelling at Parika.

Lethem Aerodrome is located in Region 9.

It is owned by GOGY and operated by the GCAA.

1.04 During the early years of existence of the aerodrome, daily flights were received from Guyana Airways Corporation operating the Douglas DC-6 aircraft.
The DC-6 aircraft had passenger accommodation for 48- 56 persons but was mostly equipped to carry freight with a maximum take-off capacity of about 97,200 pounds.

There was a steady increase in aircraft arrivals between 2011 and 2018 with records showing an increase by approximately 50% between 2011 and 2016.
A significant number of the passengers transported 1 2 The hinterland population recorded a prevalence of 74%, the Amerindian population 78%, and urban population 19% (Guyana Measuring Poverty 20081.

Unemployment rates are higher for youth age cohorts and more so for females and rural dwellers: males 17.3%, females 28.0%, both males and females 21.6%; rural 24.5%, and urban 20.5%).
Further, some 15% of PW0s never attend school, 40% of unemployed suffer job losses due to disability, and 79% of families face financial difficulties (Bureau of Statistics 2006).

 SCHEDULES Page 2 were Brazilian nationals moving between Northern Brazil, Georgetown and Paramaribo, Suriname and were involved primarily in the mining and commercial sectors of Guyana and Suriname.

Stakeholder Consultations: Identify appropriate mechanisms for providing information on progress of project preparation and implementation to stakeholders.

It is anticipated that there will be considerable public interest concerning issues of viability, affordability, and the economic benefits to be derived from the Project.

Public consultation work should be carried out at an early stage of the ESIA field work and once again, when the draft ESIA report is available, before detailed designs commence.
The results of the public consultation process should be reported in the ESIA.

7.

Climate Vulnerability Assessment: (a) (b) The consultants shall prepare a CVA to identify and evaluate the effects of climate change on the project components and to identify resilience measures that should be included in the proposed project.

The CVA methodology used should be consistent with recommendations from the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change.
The consultant should begin by reviewing available documentation and information, includingNational Communication to the UNFCCC, previous studies and identifying local meteorological data, and by consulting relevant stakeholders to obtain the historical experience of past climate-related events.

The analysis should be quantitative and include the following: (i) Characterisation of the area and relevant infrastructure.
Drawing on the information obtained from available documents and consultations with key stakeholders describe the proposed project area, including delineation of the zone potentially affected by climate change —intense tropical storms, floods, high temperatures and strong winds, collecting any additional relevant physical, biological, environmental, economic and social characteristics of the study area.
In coordination with other technical teams, the consultant shall present a detailed description of proposed alternatives and the identification of the elements that are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

Characterisation of relevant climate variables and establishment of a climate baseline.

The key climate variables would include, inter-a/ia, temperature and precipitation changes, (e.g.
Floods in the Takutu River (iii) ANNEX 2 TO SCHEDULE 5 Page 4 should be assessed and the project components exposure ascertain).

Both historical data and future scenarios will be required with the former being used for ground-truthing and to establish a climate baseline.

 The consultant should identify the hydraulic, hydrologic.

topographic variables affecting project components and surrounding areas.
The consultant will be expected to provide advice on the appropriate recurrence intervals for meteorological events impacting the proposed siting and design of the infrastructure.

Given the expected life of the works, estimates should be presented for climate condition expected at end of economic life, or by end of century climate scenarios.

Estimate Future Impacts and vulnerabilities.

Once the climate change scenarios have been established.
the relationship between the changes in the climate parameters (such as average temperature and precipitation) and the impacts on the project components must be quantified.

For each threat.

where appropriate, biophysical models such as hydrodynamic models can be used to analyse the physical interactions.

The expected detail for each critical component (where impacts arc likely to occur) will depend on site specific considerations.
The most vulnerable sections Thotspots- should be identified, including access and maintenance roads, power, telecommunication linkages, water supply, etc.

The impacts on communities should also be assessed.

For these areas, the consultant should prepare an impacts matrix describing for each relevant climate variable: the outcome (e.g.
higher intensity severe weather systems local or river flooding, the impact on the physical (including community) assets and the impacts on community livelihoods, including quantification of the magnitude of these potential losses.

They should also assess the adaptive capacity of the communities, i.e.. their existing coping strategies and how they have been adapted to previous extreme impacts.
The Consultant is expected to assess the institutional capacity of Ministry of Public Infrastructure and of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority to mainstream climate change considerations into their plans and operations.

When assessing the impacts on the community sex-disaggregated data shall be collected to infer on the differential impacts on women and men, their assets, their perception of and exposition to threats and coping strategies in times of disasters.

Adaptation assessment.


The CVA Report should define the climate relevant parameters to be used for the detailed design of all works comprising the recommended alternative.

All components shall include climate resilience considerations defined in terms the appropriate risk levels (return periods) as expected by the end of the economic life of the infrastructure or by the end of the century.
The consultants shall also identify and prioritise the most appropriate adaptation measures to incorporate into the project design parameters to address the potential climate impacts.

The consultants should consider a range of resilience actions (e.g.

flood control, increased maintenance, increased drainage.

alternative routes in the event of flooding, river training.

eco-system based approaches.

institutional/policy measures.

etc.).


An economic and social analysis should also be conducted of each technically feasible adaptation measure, showing the costs and benefits, or a cost-effectiveness analysis ANNEX 2 TO SCHEDULE 5 Page 5 if the adaptation options are expected to deliver the same benefits.
The Consultant is expected to comply with the technical quality requirements and the information required, including itemise costs of the recommended adaption measures public education of communities in the project areas concerning climate change, extreme weather events and disasters taking into account the different roles and responsibilities, assets and coping strategies of women and men.

(v) Expected deliverables.


The CVA Report shall include: (aa) characterisation of the climate variables of interest, based on available observations; (bb) a characterisation of the relevant climate parameters for design incorporating climate change considerations for mid-century or for the expected economic life of the proposed infrastructure.
It should include the recommended design parameters relevant to build climate resilience (including but not limited to: maximum rainfall rates, maximum temperatures, expected sea level rise, expected storms surges elevations and impacts, salinity intrusion, etc.
); (cc) identification and prioritisation of measures to increase resilience to the infrastructure, and measures to increase the adaptation capacity of the proposed systems, the operators and the receiving communities; (dd) recommended adaptation plan of action, including costs estimates of incorporating climate change; and (ee) recommended capacity building activities.
targeting capacity strengthening at the Ministry of Public Infrastructure and of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority, and the community, its representatives and the project main stakeholders.
ANNEX 2 TO SCHEDULE 5 SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND GENDER ANALYSIS The Social Impact Assessment and Gender Analysis will investigate developmental opportunities and risks related to the execution of the project; and inform possible mitigating measures to safeguard against any risks identified, as well as other measures to support positive social impacts.
It will be conducted in a highly participatory, gender-responsive and socially inclusive14 manner engaging the communities, particularly with representatives of women and men, vulnerable groups such as such as children, youth, elderly, indigenous peoples (Amerindians), and persons with disabilities (PWDs).
