The support of the world bank to MoE is multidimensional and one to the
important part is its support to the infrastructure part, construction of building
for educational facilities i.e. schools, teacher training centers, administration
building, hostels and etc.
Under EQUIP Phase I,II from 2004 to 2012, a total of 1347 community
contracts were planned out of which for 110 community contracts Buildings and
some of their related contracted components ( water well, latrines, and
furnitures) remained incomplete.
a. Design Problem:
The committee has identified that the civil works quantities were under
estimated and there has been discrepancies in bill of quantities and drawing.
Moreover the site specific Designs were not adopted and the terrain conditions
were not assessed properly resulting in more excavation and extra work in
construction activities. Since it was lump sum contract with fix celling, the
community were not paid for the additional work performed. Hence the
community could only complete the building with the available money and the
contracted components remained incomplete.
The committee assessed the variation in terms of extra work by re-calculating
the quantities from the drawings to figure out the difference between
Contracted BoQ and Drawings and physically surveying the site and reported
the actual work performed versus contracted quantities.
Variation in cost due to design problem for 110 CC stopped Schools excluding
write-off projects amounts to 231,391USD.
The unit cost were not derived from Site Specific Construction Material Rates,
No rate analysis has been performed and the transportation cost to the site were
not considered. In fact the same contract amount were paid to the communities
across Afghanistan irrespective of considering geographical and climatic
conditions. In EQUIP I (2004-2008), a lump sum amount of 32000 USD has
been paid to the communities across Afghanistan and in EQUIP II (2008-2012) ,
a lump sum amount of 64000 USD has been paid to communities.
To assess the variation in terms of construction material prices, the committee
considered a typical 8 classroom for Kabul province as base cost and the
difference in cost of other provinces were figured out. The variation in cost due
to construction material price for 110 CC stopped Schools excluding write-off
projects amounts to 281,800USD.
e. Missing items:
The boundary walls and electricity system was not part of the contract with
community and they were missed from the original contract, however the
provision of these components are important for the schools hence it is
suggested to include these items along with incomplete items. The estimated
price for missing items amounts to 588,874USD.
There are Money in shura Account (220,717 USD) for some schools which has
not been spent so far.
The MoE-ISD Engineers conducted survey of each school and identified the
incomplete items and prepare the site plan on the basis of which the design
drawing and price estimates were prepared for completion of these items.
Outmost care were taken to consider site specific design and construction
material rates. The committee has reviewed and approved the technical
documents which were again cross checked by World Bank civil work
consultant.
b. Required Budget:
The total estimated budget for completion of 110 incomplete schools excluding
write-off projects is 2,704,572USD.
c. Completion period:
The incomplete items will be provided by contractors, The projects has been
arranged into Lots and packages considering the geographical location of the
schools and the centralized National competitive bidding method will be used
for selecting the contractor.
