Design and studies for railway section Doboj - Rasputnica Miljacka, Federation of BiH and Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina <p>This assignment concerns preparation of preliminary and main design and related studies for overhaul / reconstruction / construction interventions on the railway section Doboj - Rasputnica Miljacka on Corridor Vc of the Trans European Network  Transport, the 'Project'. The total length of the respective railway section subject to this assignment (lengths are indicative for total length of both tracks, and do not necessarily incorporate station tracks) is assessed to 330.00 km. Specifically, the assignment shall consider: -Upgrade of the existing designs for overhaul of railway sections Doboj  Maglaj and Podlugovi  Rasputnica Miljacka, -Designs for overhaul / reconstruction / construction of railway sections Maglaj  Jelina, Jelina - Zenica freight station  Zenica passenger station, inclusively, and Zenica passenger station  Podlugovi, -Designs for construction of doubled track along the existing one on section Jelina  Zenica  Podlugovi  Rasputnica Miljacka (no conceptual design for second track available on sections Jelina - Zenica freight station  Zenica passenger station and Podlugovi  Rasputnica Miljacka). The designs would specifically focus on overhaul / reconstruction / construction activities which would be considered feasible and beneficial for improvement of transport services in terms of cost, capacity, speed and level of service. On that course, the contractor shall pay particular attention to equalising conditions and characteristics on the double track part of the railway and application of the phased approach in construction of designed activities. These terms of reference provide the grounds for execution of the Project. The ultimate objective of the project would be to assist the public enterprises (PEs) Railways of Federation of BiH and Railways of Republika Srpska, as well as the BiH Railways Public Corporation in application for the IFIs loan funds, or potential concession/PPP arrangements and in such manner facilitate contracting of works for construction of overhaul/reconstruction activities on this railway section. Expected mandatory results to be achieved by the contractor shall be: Review of compliance of the existing conceptual design with the relevant legislation and spatial plans of FBiH and RS, Optimisation of alignment laid down in phase of the conceptual design, including consideration of connections to adjacent railway sections and collisions with road network, Preparation of preliminary design for overhaul / reconstruction / construction, based on optimised conceptual design, Preparation of extract of documents for obtaining of the spatial conditions, and ultimately the spatial conformity for overhaul / reconstruction / construction interventions, where required, Preparation of the Feasibility Study , Preparation of Environment Impact Assessment, Preparation of main design for construction of overhaul / reconstruction / construction interventions, including stations, road crossings, and relocation and rearrangement of colliding road sections, Revision of main design by consulting company(ies) authorised for revision under the Laws of Federation of BiH and Republika Srpska, respectively, Preparation of tender dossier for construction of overhaul / reconstruction / construction interventions, including stations, road crossings, and relocation and rearrangement of colliding road sections, in accordance to the EBRD procurement procedures (EBRD Procurement Policy Rules dated November 2017, or the most recent ones available). </p>
