1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
The Employer's Requirements presented herein define the location of the Site and the Works,
specify the purpose of the Works and particular requirements for the completed Works, including
functional requirements, quality, performance and scope, requirements for the supply of certain
items (such as consumables), special obligations and other details generally in accordance with
the Conditions of Contract for Plant and Design Build, First Edition 1999, published by FIDIC.
The technical Specifications are deemed to form and shall be construed as an integral part of the
Employer's Requirements.
1.2 Project Objective

The purpose of the Katosi WTP project is to augment the drinking water supply quantity for the
City of Kampala by increasing the water production.
The project’s objective is the turnkey construction of (i) the Katosi Water Treatment Plant with
one treatment line, with a net capacity of 80,000 m³/day, (ii) pump main from drinking water
reservoir to Nsumba Reservoir and (iii) the Nsumba Reservoir (as per this Contract).
Optional the construction of a second treatment line with another net capacity of 80,000 m³/day
might be contracted.
1.3 Institutional Set-up

The Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) is the lead agency for provision and management
of water supply and sanitation services in Uganda. The Ministry has three directorates;
Directorate of Water Resources Management (DWRM) responsible for managing, monitoring
and regulation of water resources through issuing water use, abstraction and wastewater
discharge permits; Directorate of Water Development (DWD) responsible for providing overall
technical oversight for the planning, implementation and supervision of the delivery of urban and
rural water and sanitation services across the country, including water for production; and the
Directorate of Environmental Affairs (DEA) responsible for the management of all environment
related affairs.
Functioning under the Ministry of Water and Environment, National Water and Sewerage
Corporation (NWSC) on the other hand is a Government Parastatal that operates and provides
water and sewerage services for 165 urban centres across the country including Kampala.
NWSC’s activities are aimed at expanding service coverage, improving efficiency in service
delivery and increasing labour productivity.
At the District level; Local Governments (Districts, Town Councils, Sub-Counties) are
empowered by the Local Governments Act (2000) to provide water services. They receive
funding from the centre in the form of a conditional grant and can also mobilize additional local
resources for water and sanitation programmes. Local Governments, in consultation with MWE
appoint and manage private operators for urban piped water schemes that are outside the
jurisdiction of NWSC.
1.4 Beneficiary
National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) was established in 1972 as a Government
Parastatal with the role of developing, operating and maintaining water supply and sewerage
services in urban areas of Uganda. NWSC falls under the Ministry of Water and Environment,
and currently operates in 165 towns in Uganda.
1-7
NWSC operates under three year renewable Performance Contracts with the Government of
Uganda, which define the activities, objectives and indicators to be achieved within the 3-year
contract period.
1.5 Notice of other Contracts

In parallel to this WTP contract another contract, concerning the construction of a gravity
transmission Main ND 1400 from Nsumba Reservoir to Kampala, length = 44 km, will be
implemented.
In particular, at the Nsumba Reservoir site, close coordination with the Engineer and the
Employer concerning the pipe interface and the access road section to Nsumba, which runs
alongside the Gravity Main, will be necessary.
1.6 Location of the Katosi Water Treatment Plant Site

Uganda is a landlocked country that shares borders with the Democratic Republic of Congo,
Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, and Sudan. It lies between 10 29’ South and 40 12’ North latitude,
290 34’ East and 350 0’ East longitude. It has a total area of 241,000sq.km, of which 20% is
covered by lakes and swamps. The current population of Uganda is estimated at 35 million of
which 87% live in rural areas and 13% live in urban set-ups.
Kampala is the capital city of Uganda. Located on 21 hills north of Lake Victoria. Kampala is
comprised of both formal and informal settlements, with the city now mostly growing towards the
Eastern side. Kampala is both the Capital City and Commercial centre of Uganda. It is located in
the central part of Uganda on the shores of Lake Victoria. Kampala has a population of about 2.5
million people within its larger metropolitan area, with population and industrialization growth
rates estimated at 5.6% and 16% per annum, respectively. By the year 2025 population of
Greater Kampala is expected to rise to 3.8 million of which about 2.1 million will be in Kampala
City alone.
The new WTP will be located to the east of Kampala, about 45 km away from Kampala City
Centre, within a governmental owned property at the lake shore. The access route is as follows:
from Kampala on the National Road to Jinja up to Mukono town, branching off to the road to
Katosi Town (new road some 20 km long under construction) and branching further off to Mengo
Village before reaching Katosi (small unpaved road). After about 3 km, half way the road to
Mengo, a very narrow and unpaved rough road about 2 km long leads to the village of Buwuga
at the shore of Lake Victoria, next to which the new Katosi WTP and the Sumbwe Intake will be
located. The plant construction site is located in a forest reserve next to this narrow unpaved
road. Access conditions to the Plant site must be largely improved as part of the project to
safeguard access to site during construction and for plant operation after plant commissioning.
The Nsumba storage reservoir is located on top of a hill next to the Mukono – Katosi new road
presently under construction, a distance of about 10 km from the Katosi Water Treatment Plant.
There is at present no road access to the Nsumba reservoir site from the main road under
construction and its construction is part of the project.
The following Figure shows the location of the sites in relation to Kampala:
1-8
Figure 1-1Site locations
1.6.1 Topographical site conditions

The site reserved for the construction of Katosi DWTP, shows ground elevation starting from
approximately 1,135 masl sloping up in northern direction to elevations around 1,195 masl.
More details and the coordinates of the construction site can be seen in the Administration’s
Proposal – Report part and topographical documents. Preliminary site investigations have been
carried out on behalf of the Employer. Information from these investigations are shown in the
Administration’s proposal. The information is not warranted by the Employer, and the Contractor
shall make use of and interpret the same on his own responsibility.
1.6.2 Geological and geotechnical site conditions

The main formation of the project area is volcanic and metamorphic rock with weathered rock on
top of the hill slopes and alluvial deposits in the valleys, which turn into wetlands and swamps
close to Lake Victoria. The treatment plant site is located next to the Lake Victoria, however
apart from the intake, not in wetlands.
The Katosi Plant’s underground site conditions are comprising of dark brown fine top-soil
material of about 0.4 m depth below ground level. Below 0.4 m, the site is underlain by soft soil
material to variable depths, however rocks and boulders can be expected eventually. Below this
depth hard rock is reached. During previous geological investigations, the ground water table
was not encountered.
The soil along the transmission main to the Nsumba reservoir is of similar characteristics and
same applies to the Nsumba reservoir site, which is located on the top of a hill some 1,300 masl.
Greater Kampala is located in the still active East African Rift Valley zone and earthquakes up to
6.8 Richter Scale can be expected, which must be addressed to in the structural design.
More details of the geotechnical site conditions of the construction sites can be seen in the
Administration’s Proposal – geotechnical documents. Preliminary site investigations have been
carried out on behalf of the Employer. Information from these investigations are shown in the
1-9
Administration’s proposal. The information is not warranted by the Employer, and the Contractor
shall make use of and interpret the same on his own responsibility.
1.6.3 Climate
Endowed with an equatorial climate, the Project Area enjoys plenty of rain of above 1100 mm
per year and sunshine moderated by the relatively high altitude of ranging from 1136 to more
than 1300 masl.
The area around Katosi has a tropical rainforest climate. Rainfall is spread all over the year
however with two annual wet seasons. There is a long rainy season from August to December
and a short rainy season from February to June. However, the shorter rainy season sees
substantially heavier rainfall per month, with April typically seeing the heaviest amount of
precipitation at an average of around 169 millimetres of rain.
The mean annual temperature ranges from 17°C to 26°C with the highest temperatures of up to
36°C in January and February.
Detailed information concerning ambient temperature, relative humidity rainfall and wind speed
and direction is available from the Meteorological Services in Entebbe. The information given
herein is to assist the Contractor at the time of tendering. Such information shall be deemed to
be information provided on behalf of the Employer. The information is not warranted by the
Employer or the Employer's Representative and the Contractor shall make use of and interpret
the same as his own responsibility.
1.6.4 Power supply and telecommunications

The provider for electricity countrywide is the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited
and the Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited. Most of the electric power is generated
from hydropower schemes in Uganda. The available high voltage are 11.5 and 33 kV and low
voltage power is 415/220 V and 50Hz. In general, power supply/distribution is insufficient with
regular power cuts and voltage fluctuations.
Uganda has a fixed network telephone system operated by Uganda Telecom, which is in part
unreliable, but has access to international connections worldwide. In addition, there are several
mobile telephone providers offering a competitive and good service including international
roaming. Access to the internet is available and offered by several providers, however the
systems lack reliability and speed of data transfer.
Currently there is no power supply system close to the envisaged construction site. The
Contractor has to provide stand-by power for all construction equipment and the temporary site
facilities.

4. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
The design and constructions shall follow stages. The definition of phases is shown in the
Administration’s proposal and described in the following chapters.
Contractor’s design shall include the detailed designs for Phase 1a and Phase 1b, for
construction purposes. All facilities, which will be required for Phase 2 shall be included in the
conceptual design, in order to define space requirements for future extensions. Where future
units are shown, provision must be made for easy connections. Distribution chambers and
similar structures shall be designed to allow for the connection of future units.
The Contractor shall design and construct the WTP to fit within the site boundary shown on the
general arrangement drawing of the Administration’s proposal. Within the limit of the WTP and
reservoir site boundaries, the Contractor is free to design, position and size the various elements
of the project facilities, as the Contractor considers best, but only to the extent that they comply
with the requirements set out in the Employer's Requirements and other relevant documents,
e.g. the Specifications.
The Contractor's design shall take the process solutions used in the conceptual design as a
guideline. If standby equipment has been designed in the Admin’s Proposal, it is mandatory for
the Contractor to reflect this in his design. Also, similar levels of redundancy shall be reached in
any alternative design.
The WTP shall be designed and constructed so that individual elements of the WTP such as
tanks, chambers, etc. can be isolated from the flows without affecting the overall operation of the
works. Furthermore, the WTP shall be designed for maximum flexibility of operation.
4.1 Building Information Modelling (BIM)

During design and implementation, the Contractor shall apply Building Information Modelling
(BIM). BIM is a process, involving the generation and management of digital representations of
physical and functional characteristics of places. The Building information models (files) shall be
extracted, exchanged or networked with Engineer and Employer, to support decision-making
regarding the DWTP.
The Contractor shall apply BIM on ‘Level 2’ that involves developing building information in a
collaborative 3D environment with data attached, but created in separate discipline models.
These separate models shall be assembled to form a federated model, but shall not lose their
identity or integrity. The data attached, can be limited to main mechanical and electrical parts:
- Main Mechanical Equipment (pumps, pipes, compressors, blowers, etc.)
- Main Electrical Equipment (transformers, switchboards, cable trays, etc.)
The Contractor is not required to provide a central, server based solution for data access/sharing
between Contractor, Engineer and Employer on a single, shared online, project model. Neither
he has to include construction sequencing, cost and lifecycle management information. Within
the non-process buildings (admin bldg., canteen, workshop, guard house, staff houses, etc.), no
details of interiors or data attached have to be provided.
Data shall be extracted from the building information model for digital versions to submit (acc. to
the ‘Schedule for Submission of Documents’), and for controlling design as it develops. The
models shall also be used for coordination, visualisation, clash detection, monitoring of progress
(see also ‘Progress Reports’), etc. Data shall be exchanged using IFC-Standard.
The Bidder shall submit together with the bid, his methodology of use of Building Information
Modelling (BIM Execution Plan), describing – amongst others - intended level of detail, standards
and software used, exchange formats, milestones for data submissions, etc.
4-23
However due to FIDIC contractual requirements, paper versions of selected documentation will
be requested by the Engineer.
4.2 Basis of Contractor’s Design & Design Responsibility

The Contractor shall be responsible for all design works in accordance with the Contract. The
Plant shall meet the specified performance requirements and safe construction has to be
ensured. The Contractor’s responsibilities shall also include the selection of a safe operational
and maintenance regime in line with his design.
The Contractor shall actively assist the Employer in obtaining any necessary approvals from
governmental authorities, by supplying reports, drawings or any other information, free of charge.
The Administration’s Proposal forms part of these Tender Documents. The Contractor's design
shall follow the principles of the Employer's conceptual design for the Katosi WTP and
associated ancillary works, and shall incorporate the requirements of the Specifications and
other parts or sections of the Documents, as relevant.
The Contractor shall pay particular attention to the following aspects of the design:
• Water retaining structures shall be cast in-situ reinforced concrete construction. Special
attention shall be made to predicting and designing for thermal movement, limiting crack
widths and ensuring the structures are watertight under all conditions.
• Calculation of structures shall take into account all possible loading conditions during
construction, operation and maintenance.
• Structural calculations shall also take account of forces likely to be induced in the event
of strong earthquakes (> 6.4 on the Richter scale), especially for buildings (e.g. pumping
stations).
4.3 Administration’s Proposal (Conceptual Design)

The designs shown on these drawings are in outline only and are based on information available
prior to preparation of the Tender Documents. All levels indicated or proposed are provisional,
and may need to be revised subject to the results of survey and site investigation carried out by
the Contractor. The Contractor shall prepare his own proposals consistent with his own
experience and particulars and guarantees given by him in the schedules.
The dispositions of structures and buildings and of associated systems may be varied from those
shown on the outline drawings to suit particular requirements of plant and civil works proposed
by the Contractor.
Although Employer’s design proposals are intended to be recommendations to the Contractor,
he shall be fully responsible for his proposals. His designs shall reflect his own experience in
works of a similar nature and magnitude.
The Contractor shall carry out such surveys, studies and analyses of any kind as are necessary
for the purpose of his general and detailed designs and to verify the information shown on the
outline drawings and other data furnished by the Employer. The Employer shall not be liable for
any claim by the Contractor on account of incompleteness or inaccuracy of the outline drawings
and data furnished by the Employer irrespective of when the Contractor shall discover such
incompleteness or inaccuracy.
4-24
4.4 Alternative Design

Where Tenderers wish to offer alternative designs, they have to provide all information
necessary for a complete evaluation of the alternatives by the Employer, including drawings,
design calculations, technical specifications, breakdown of prices, proposed installation
methodology and other relevant details. Design alternatives shall be constrained by the following
requirements:
• The level of reliability of operation achieved shall be at least equal to the tender scheme.
• An equivalent level of standby plant shall be available to that presently proposed.
• The plant shall be able to operate flexibly within the specified limits, to meet water
demand variations of the system.
• The operational approach shall be similar to existing systems under the control of the
NWSC.
4.5 Design Regulations & Standards

The Works shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant quality standards, test
procedures or codes of practice, collectively referred to as Reference Standards, listed in the
relevant Part of the Specification. The Contractor shall familiarise himself fully with the
requirements of such standards.
The applicable Reference Standard shall be the one in force, at the date three months preceding
the date of submission of the Tender.
Acceptable Technical Standards include Eurocodes and other EN Standards. The use of other
official standards that provide equal or better quality, than the aforementioned standards can be
accepted after review by the Engineer and his written approval. In this case, the Contractor shall
submit all the necessary information in compliance with the Engineer's instructions. The
Engineer shall issue his decision within 28 days after the receipt of that information. If the
Engineer decides that the standards and codes proposed by the Contractor do not guarantee
equivalent or better quality, the Contractor is obliged to apply the specified standards.
4.6 Drawings

The design and construction of the Works shall be in accordance with the Technical
Specifications, and good practice. All aspects of the Works shall be fit for purpose and the
design shall be sound, safe and robust.
The design of the Works must guarantee 24 hours per day continuous operation of the new
facilities, under the given local climatic conditions.
All goods and materials to be incorporated in the Works shall be new, unused and of the most
recent or current models. All recent improvements shall be incorporated in design and materials.
The design shall facilitate operation, inspection, cleaning, lubrication and repair of the various
components of the Plant and provide easy access to all operation points, lifting devices shall be
installed, where necessary.
The design shall ensure adequate ventilation and lighting to all operating areas, controls, proper
electrical insulation facilities, noise suppression and insulation, suppression of vibrations, stairs,
handrails, covers, etc.
All tanks and channels shall be provided with reasonable freeboard, following state of the design
principles.
4-29
The design and construction shall ensure that the Design Life specified in these Employer's
Requirements will be attained, and that such components operate satisfactorily under all service
conditions.
All alarms and plant status shall be indicated on the local control panels and the central LED
touch screen panel.
For all Pumping Stations, it has to be determined if surge (water hammer) protection measures
are applicable and implemented, if necessary.
Preference shall be given to treatment processes, for which NWSC has gained positive
operation experiences in the last years;
Design shall ensure cost-efficiency in terms of investment and operation costs;
Availability (safe supply) of proposed chemicals is an asset.
The proposed treatment process is based upon the raw water quality of the Lake Victoria at
Katosi. However, the Contractor's proposed water treatment process must ensure to treat also
expected further deteriorated raw water quality to allowable limits.
Design shall be flexible in coping with varying raw water conditions and to allow for staged WTP
extension. Consequently, certain degree of space reserves has to be foreseen, for future
installation of additional treatment units, in order to cope with deteriorating raw water quality
and/or other non-favourable operational conditions. The following Table provides the range of
expected raw water deterioration:
4.7.1 Reliability and Redundancy

Redundancy means the duplication of critical components or functions of a system with the
intention of increasing reliability of the system, usually in the form of a backup or fail-safe
measures.
The Facilities shall be designed with a high grade of flexibility and reliability of the different parts.
Therefore, all process and control items shall be designed with a sufficiently high degree of
redundancy (by means of installed spare capacity and/or spare units of equipment), enabling to
overcome all maintenance situations and/or local system malfunctions.
The Redundancy Concept set out in the Administration’s Proposal shall serve as a principle
guideline for Contractor’s design. However, in accordance with the FIDIC yellow book conditions
the Contractor may modify the redundancy concept, in line with his envisaged design solution.
4.7.2 Standardisation
Whenever possible, the Contractor shall provide equipment of a similar nature from the same
manufacturer, e.g. electric motors, in order to facilitate the spare part regime. Standardisation of
types of equipment shall also be adopted.
Wherever possible, the Contractor shall also consider standardisations within others, already
existing NWSC installation and facilities.
The Contractor shall note that particular attention will be paid to these requirements. In cases
where the proposed equipment is not standardised with regard to manufacturer and type, the
Contractor shall be required to provide conclusive technical justification; considerations of price
alone will not be accepted.
4-30
4.8 Maximum Noise Levels

The following noise levels measured at a distance of approximately 1 m from mechanical and
electrical facilities are permitted:
• Hydraulic and pneumatic equipment max. 80 dB
• Gears and drives max. 80 dB
• Water pumps max. 80 dB
• Blowers max. 85 dB
4.9 Design Life

Civil, Structural and Building Works shall be designed on the basis of a 50-year service life.
Mechanical and electrical equipment shall be suitable for 24 hours per day continuous operation
and also under discontinuous operation under all local climatic conditions.
Wearing parts, other than consumable items, shall have a design life of at least 5 years
assuming continuous operation. All mechanical and electrical equipment to be supplied shall,
wherever possible, have a proven reliability record in similar works. Design life for the
components are shown in the Table below:

4.12 Raw Water Quality

The following table summarizes mean, maximum and minimum values of the most relevant
water parameters over the water quality monitoring period of around two years (February 2014 to
December 2015) for the raw water abstraction point at Sumbwe intake, 500 m distance to the
shore, water abstraction depth of 11 m.
Currently the raw water shows good characteristics, however declining water quality in future has
to be considered for the design of the WTP. The following shall be taken into consideration:
• Increased nutrients contents (especially related to high phosphorus concentrations)
enhancing algae growth);
• Occasionally increased algae bloom, with predominant cyanobacteria species potentially
forming cyano-toxins;
• Low total hardness and low alkalinity, thus representing a very soft water with low buffer
capacity, nearly non-existing permanent hardness and thus resulting in a high-water
aggressiveness/corrosiveness;
• Significant bacteriological water pollution (coliforms), as usually expected for surface
water sources.

conceptual design. Basically, the proposed process shall consist of the following steps:
• Raw water off-shore pipeline;
• Lake intake;
• Pumping station;
• Pre-chlorination (or other type of appropriate algae removal) of raw water in order to
inactivate organisms when needed during algae and shrimp blooms;

• Nsumba Reservoir facilities and infrastructure.
4.18.1 Raw water off-shore pipeline

Phase 1a scope:
4-42
A new raw water off-shore pipeline, HDPE - DN 1500, shall be constructed on the lake bottom,
with length approximately 500 m from the intake and the lake shore, into the lake, in order to
abstract raw water from approx. 11 m depth (invert level to mean WL). The off-shore pipe shall
cope with a capacity of 255,000 m³/d raw water.
The pipe could be laid above the lake bottom without trench. In order to avoid floating and
movement, the pipe shall be secured and protected against physical damage (e.g. from boat
anchors). The pipe shall be equipped with all necessary anchorages, according to Contractor’s
structural calculations, to safeguard it against buoyancy.
The pipe shall be laid with continuous slope upwards, to the raw water intake and high points
shall be avoided in any case. The pipe end shall be clearly marked with a buoy and be equipped
with a strainer, with appropriate slit width.
At the inlet to the intake structure a penstock shall be installed in order to isolate the intake from
the abstraction pipeline.
The raw water off-shore pipeline’s length shall be extendable with HDPE DN 2000, in order to
cope with Phase 2 requirements. The pipe’s end shall be prepared already appropriately.
4.18.2 Lake Intake

Phase 1a scope:
The intake structure must be able to abstract 255,000 m³/day of raw water (already constructed
to cope with Phase 2 – requirements).
The good water quality makes screening of the raw water not mandatory. Therefore, the new
intake structure shall consist of a valve channel, equipped with an appropriate inlet valve.
Furthermore, this channel to be constructed under Phase 1a shall include valved connection(s)
to the three screening channels (each for 85,000 m³/d), which shall be constructed, in Phase 1b.
After the construction of the screening channels (1b) this inlet channel shall only serve as bypass
for the screens.
In case that Phase 1b cannot be implemented simultaneously with Phase 1a the extension for
Phase 1b has to be implemented during the plant in full operation. Therefore, it is necessary to
provide under Phase 1a already appropriate arrangements (valve), allowing for extension works
without major disturbances for the water production.
Close to the intake structure a landing stage for boats shall be designed and constructed in order
to enable the operators to land small boats to inspect the inlet point to the abstraction pipe.
Phase 1b scope (optional):

Three screening channels shall be constructed in Phase 1b, two channels shall be equipped with
an automatic fine screen (bar distance 8 mm). The by-pass chamber shall be equipped with a
manual operated screen, in order to prevent coarse matter, plants and aquatic life from entering
into the treatment system.
A manually operated isolating penstock system, shall be installed in all screening channels, in
order to allow for installation or dismantling of screens.
Appropriate lifting equipment shall be provided, to enable the O&M staff to remove and dismantle
the installed screening equipment and the penstocks.
Control panels for screens shall be installed in a control room/building together with the controls
of the raw water pumps, or alternatively in the pump room.

pump sets for Phases 1a and 1b (six raw water pumping units), including all controls, ancillaries
and associated pipe works and the pump room crane.
Please note: During Phase 2 extension, the Employer intends to change the Phase 1a and 1b
pumpsets against bigger pumpsets with Phase 2 capacity and the appropriate space
requirements for the bigger pumps and pipelines shall be foreseen. Also, the capacity of power
cabling shall cope with this requirement.
All low voltage switch gears and control panels could be installed in a separate control room or
electrical building, adjacent to the pumping station structure, or to include the control devices in
the same pump house.
For Phase 1a three vertical tubular casing pumps with axial propeller (2 duty and 1 standby)
shall be provided for lifting the raw water. According to the Admin’s Proposal the combined
minimum capacity of two pumps shall be 3,850 m³/h, at 41 m hydraulic head. The combined
Phase 2 flow shall be 11,550 m³/h at a hydraulic head of 45 m. The combined efficiency (pumps
and motor) shall be >80%. All pumps shall be able to operate in parallel and shall be equipped
with variable speed devices, soft start/stop systems and appropriate water hammer protection
(e.g. surge vessel incl. air compressor).

• Transformer 33 kV / 0.4 kV (Capacity covering phases 1a, 1b)
• 0.4 kV MCCs / cabling (for Phase 1a)
• If necessary - extension provision MCC - for Phases 1b and 2
Phase 1b Scope (optional):

It is an option, under Phase 1b, to install additionally three more pumps (2+1) with the same
properties already during this construction phase, including the necessary control facilities as
described under Phase 1a.
The power supply for the raw water pumping station shall be complemented with the following:
• 0.4 kV MCCs (cabling for Phase 1b)
• Provisions for Phase 2 connections
Phase 2 Scope (only design):
Replacement of installed pumps (of Phase 1a and 1b) by 4+2 new pumps, dimensioned for
Phase 2 flows. In addition, electrical arrangements for Phase 2 requirements shall be installed.

(255,000 m³/d) from the new raw water pumping station to the distribution chamber of the new
Katosi Water Treatment Plant.
A cement lined, ductile iron pipe, having appropriate diameter and length, shall be foreseen for
the raw water pumping main; the flow velocity shall be in reasonable engineering range. In order
to compensate the forces, the Contractor has to conduct structurally dimensioning of trust blocks
and safeguard every bend of the raw water main.

distributes it to three potential treatment lines (Phases 1a, 1b and 2). The chamber shall be
designed and constructed for Phase 2 flows.
The structure shall be able to distribute the flow evenly to the three treatment lines downstream.
The flow velocity in the downstream pipelines to the flash mixers, shall be in reasonable

treatment line.
The pipelines may have injection points for supernatant recycling, sludge recycling, chemical
dosing, CL2 – injection (pre-chlorination), PACI injection. In addition, PAC injection point will
have to be foreseen for easy connection in future – however the feeding facility for PAC forms
part of the future works. Alternatively, the injection points can be located directly at the flash
mixer chamber.
Easy connection of Phase 1b and Phase 2 treatment lines is an asset and therefore, appropriate
measures have to be foreseen during Phase 1a construction, so that the pipelines for Phase 1b
and Phase 2 can be connected without stopping the operation of the raw water pumping station
and treatment line 1a.

water pumping station to the Nsumba reservoirs. A cement lined, ductile iron pipe, diameter
1200 mm, length approx. 10 km, pressure class 25, has been foreseen for the pumping main.
To compensate pump forces, the Contractor has to install appropriately dimensioned trust
blocks, in order to safeguard the bends of the transmission main.
Please note, that in Uganda power cuts happen frequently. The surge protection for the water

4.18.13 Sludge Treatment

Phase 1a scope:
The raw water treatment generates two sources of sludge streams.
• Sludge abstracted from the clarifiers,
• Backwash water generated during backwashing of the rapid gravity sand filters.
The Administration Proposal suggests to feed sludge thickeners, via the sludge balancing tank,
which balances the sludge flows and where the sludge pumps are located to pump the sludge to
the pre-dewatering units.
Discontinuous sludge flows shall be balanced, in order to feed sludge dewatering units
continuously. Alternatively, if the sludge removal system provides continuous flow, the clarifier
sludge can be conveyed directly to the sludge thickening system.
The slurry, coming from the filters, shall be collected in the backwash water sedimentation tanks.
Also, these flows shall be balanced to avoid overloads of the downstream sludge treatment.
Alternatively, if sludge balancing can be provided via the control system, the backwash sludge
can be conveyed directly to the sludge thickening system.
A portion of the liquid sludge shall be recycled from the sludge balancing pump station to the
inlet line before the coagulation or directly into the coagulation. The remainder sludge will be
conveyed to the sludge dewatering units.
The pre-dewatered sludge is led to the mechanical sludge dewatering (e.g. belt press,
centrifuge). Supernatant from sedimentation tanks and dewatering units shall be collected and
recycled back to the coagulation.
In summary the sludge dewatering units foreseen in the Administration Proposal consist of the
following:
• Pipe system from the filters and the clarifiers to the sludge balancing pump station (or
alternatively to the pre-dewatering system) and/or the sedimentation tanks;
• 2 Backwash water Sedimentation tanks – 1,200 m³;
• Sludge pre-dewatering system (thickeners or mechanical pre-dewatering);
• Pipe system between sludge balancing pump station and the pre-dewatering system;
• Sludge, supernatant and water recycling pipe system;
• Piping system between pre-dewatering units and sludge dewatering system;
• Sludge balancing tank with feeder pumps to sludge pre-dewatering system and sludge
recycling pumps;

power to the substation. Branches of 33 kV sub-supply from the yard of the substation will
continue to the various parts of the Site. This is to minimise losses with relatively long distances.
These are to be done by underground (reinforced canals/conduits) cable links. One feeds the
Raw Water Pumping Station, the second is for other process units.
Transformer – Raw Water Pumping Station
This transformer shall feed the raw water pumps and all consumers around the RWPS (like
scree and valve motors, lighting, etc).
One underground 33kV cable link to the raw water substation, where voltage will be transformed
to 0.4 kV, feeds the Raw Water Pumping Station. Capacity of the cable link and the transformer
shall cover the phases 1a, 1b and 2. Space reservations for electrification of all phases will be
ensured by the design in phase 1a.
The contractor is free to choose the working voltage of raw water pumps between low voltages
of 0.4KV or 0.69KV or medium voltage of 3.3KV in order to design the most cost-effective
system. In case of 0.69KV or 3.3KV the additional 3.3/04KV transformer need to be added to
feed the rest of LV consumers in the RWPS.
As described under the chapter “Raw Water Pumping station”, the Employer intends to replace
the raw water pumps installed under Phase 1a and 1b (4+2 pumps, motors and VFD drives
designed for Phase 1a / 1b hydraulic capacity) with the same number bigger pumps, which cope
with the Phase 2 total flow. Therefore, the electrical installations (MCC, cables, and VFD drives
of the raw water pumps) shall be designed and installed in Phase 1a, respectively Phase 1b,
already for the bigger Phase 2 requirements.
Transformer – other process units
Second underground 33 kV cable link feeds the Transformer for other Phase 1a process units.
Required motor voltage of 3.3 kV for the drinking water pumps is created by a transformer
dedicated for Phase 1a only. Other Pumps, blowers, etc. and other services will use low voltage
(0.4 kV). A sub-transformer will provide 0.4 kV required by auxiliaries.
The civil works for the Transformers shall provide the space for Phases 1a and 1b. In case that
only Phase 1a will be constructed, the future water production shall not be disturbed.
Consequently, cable routes for Phase 1b and Phase 2 shall be designed to be easy accessible
during these construction Phases.
A third branch of the 33 kV sub-supply from the yard of the substation will continue to the 1b
process units. Phase 1b Transformer and switchgears in the substation will be installed.
A fourth branch of the 33 kV sub-supply shall feed a new substation, which will supply the
Phase 2 process units.
4.31.1.4 Power Supply at Nsumba Reservoir site

Phase 1a scope:
No major consumers will be installed at Nsumba Reservoir site – only power is required for
lighting of guard house, residence, site and road, as well as for control devices. The Contractor
4-67
shall therefor install a suitable photovoltaic power generation system, which will suit the power
requirements. Emphasis shall be put in the installation of high efficiency solar panels,
appropriate power storage facilities and low end consumer consumption (e.g. LED bulbs).
The photovoltaic power generation system shall be backed-up by a standby generator of suitable
size.

and necessary interfaces shall be provided. The system shall have the capacity to forward
Nsumba signals and WTP signals to NWSC central system.
All main control and local operation panels shall be provided and shall include the equipment for
the treated water pumps, compressors, blowers, chemical dosing pumps together with
distribution for other areas and buildings on site. The central display shall be LED-touch screen
panel and shall include pump operation, flow rates, alarms, valve positions and tank/water levels.
All major motors shall be equipped with PLC controlled Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
allowing speed control for optimum operation of various pumping facilities such as raw- and
drinking water pumping, sludge pumping, backwash system and blowers. Beside soft starting,
VFD’s shall facilitate also soft stops during normal operation, in order to avoid sudden water
hammers. Principal Reactive Power compensation of the Plant will be done by VFD’s.
Principally the main pumping units (raw- and drinking water) are equipped with two duty and one
standby pumps. For Raw Water and Drinking Water Pumps, the mode of bulk delivery shall be
considered, meaning that the pair of duty pumps (or two pairs in case of 1a and 1b together) is
pumping in parallel with the same speed. That shall ensure equal flow in each pump
However, all controlled starts and stops must be done one by one. Starts and stops shall be
“soft” ones, controlled by Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). Using VFD speed control, the
SCADA/PLC system shall minimize the number of starts and stops of the large motors,
considering the levels in the respective reservoirs.
The speed of the raw water pumps shall be primarily controlled by the level in the drinking water
reservoir at the drinking water pumping station. An optimum level in the reservoir shall be
defined. If the level in the reservoir deviates from the optimum level, the pump speed should
increase or slow-down in order to match the optimum level again.
Similarly, a settable optimum level in the Nsumba reservoirs shall control speed and capacity of
the drinking water pumps.
Speed controls of backwash pumps, blowers and sludge pumps shall be adapted to momentary
process demand.
SCADA and PLC’s shall record and add to daily report all abnormal actions such as alarms,
power cuts, motor tripping, etc.
4-68
Parameters related to the filter shall be indicated in the filter control gallery for the backwash
flow, on the individual filter consoles. However the signal shall be fed to the SCADA system and
to be displayed in the central control room.
Level signal and alarms of the reservoir in Nsumba shall be conveyed to the WTP. The system
shall have channel capacity to handle all future reservoirs, at the Nsumba site, as well.
4.31.3 Outdoor lighting

Outdoor lighting, for the DWTP and Reservoir site, shall be provided around treatment structures
and buildings and along roads on the Site. Lighting intensities and other technical details shall be
in accordance with the electrical Specifications.
The use of low energy lighting is compulsory. Key operational areas shall be provided with
emergency lighting.
4.31.4 Stand-by power

In case of network power failure ate the DWTP, non-process consumers and consumers critical
for the safety of operation (e.g. motor actuated backwash valves at filter to avoid complete
emptying of filter plant) valves at need to be supplied from a diesel generator set. The Contractor
shall specify the facilities to be supplied from diesel generator in case of power failure.
During standby supply, output voltage of generator must satisfy specified allowable limits (RMS,
frequency and distortion) for proper work of connected consumers. Besides manual, control
panel of a generator-set must be able to allow a remote start as well.
At the Nsumba Reservoir site the Solar Power Supply shall be backed-up by a generator of
suitable size.

that was approved by National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) for the proposed
Ssumbe water intake, water treatment plant and auxiliary components (transmission main and
water storage reservoir) referred to herein as the project. The project components; Water
Abstraction Facility (WAF) in Lake Victoria, ii) Water Treatment Plant (WTP), iii) Water Storage
Reservoir (WSR) and iv) Transmission main (pipeline) from abstraction facility to the treatment
plant and from the treatment plant to water storage reservoir. The WAF and WTP will be situated
within Mwola Central Forest Reserve (and will cover 19 ha) while the WSR is located within
Kisakombe CFR (which will cover 5 ha). The transmission main for the water works will be
largely located in the road reserve and to a smaller extent on private land. An updated
environmental and social management plan is aimed at ensuring environmental and socio-
economic sustainability of the project.
5.19.1 Environmental Contract Clauses
The contractor must implement mitigation measures contained in the ESMP. The contractor shall
prepare a social and environmental action plan (SEAP) containing different management plans
(e.g. transport management plant) as specified in the NEMA certificate of approval. The SEAP is
aimed at implementing all measures mentioned in the ESMP into practical procedure/rules,
responsibilities, timelines, training and awareness raising, communication, costs and
supervision. The Plan will be approved by the Client / Developer. Furthermore, the contractor
must always include environmental protection clauses for contracts and specifications in the
BOQs and construction and operating contracts for sub-contractors. Consequently, the selection
of contractor will among others, include their capability and commitment to adhere to the health,
safety, environmental and social criteria spelt out in the contract documents.
Some of the environmental clauses (generated from the ESMP) are outlined in the subsequent
sections.

5.19.2 SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TO BE CONSIDERED
Worksite/campsite Waste Management

• All vessels (drums, containers, bags, etc.) containing oil/fuel/surfacing materials and
other hazardous chemicals must be bundled in order to contain spillage. All waste
containers litter and any other waste generated during the construction shall be collected
and disposed of at designated sites in line with the waste management regulations of the
NEMA.
• All drainage and effluent from storage areas, workshops and campsites shall be captured
and treated before being discharged into the drainage system in line with the water
pollution control regulations of the NEMA.
• Used oil from maintenance shall be collected and disposed of appropriately at
designated sites or taken back to designated dealers
• Entry of runoff to the site shall be restricted by constructing diversion channels or holding
structures such as banks, drains, dams, etc. to reduce the potential of soil erosion and
water pollution.
• Construction waste shall not be left in stockpiles at the project site. Waste and other
excess material shall be used for rehabilitating (restoring) borrow areas and landscaping
around the road.
• If other spoil disposal sites are necessary, they shall be located in areas of low land use
value and where they will not result in material being easily washed into drainage
channels. Wherever possible, spoiled materials should be placed in low-lying areas and
should be compacted and planted with species indigenous to the locality.
Material Excavation
• Contractors shall obtain appropriate licenses/permits from relevant authorities to operate
quarries or borrow areas.

been altered or impaired.
• Toxic materials should be removed and disposed off at designated sites. Excavated
areas should be backfilled with soils or overburden that is free of foreign material that
could pollute ground water and soil.
• The restored area should be inherently stable, adequately drained and suitable for the
desired long-term land use and that would allow natural regeneration of vegetation.
5-83
• Long-term visual impact should be minimized by creating landforms, which are

compatible with the adjacent landscape.
• Measures (e.g. terracing and construction of proper drainage channels) should be put in
place to minimize erosion by wind and water both during and after the process of
reinstatement.
• Compacted surfaces shall be deep ripped to relieve compaction unless subsurface
conditions dictate otherwise.
• The area should be re-vegetated with plant species that will control erosion, provide
vegetative diversity, and that will through succession; contribute to a stable and
compatible ecosystem. The choice of plant species for rehabilitation (restoration) shall

Contractor to start the design and building works for this option, while Phase 1b works have
already started and the Employer has a clear view on the implementation of Phase 1a and 1b.
7-94
All administrative and technical issues, concerning this optional component, like performance
guarantees, commissioning requirements, works programme, DNP, etc. will be discussed and
decided between Employer and Contractor at this stage, before the start of the works. Terms
and conditions of the main contract will principally also apply for these works.
7.3.2 Gaba Site

The site is in Gaba/Kampala, close to lake Victoria, approximately 50 km from the Katosi site,
which indicates that a second site arrangement, concerning construction team, equipment and
temporary facilities would be required.
7.3.3 Technical guidelines

Optionally and providing the availability of funds, the Employer intends to upgrade the sludge
treatment facilities of all three, existing waterworks of Kampala in Gaba.
It is envisaged to construct a combined mechanical sludge dewatering system for all three
waterworks, which are located in Gaba. The total water production of the combined treatment
works is 240,000 m³/d. Assuming a sludge production of 2-3% the total sludge/slurry amount is
minimum 4,800 m³/d, with estimated DS content of 0.5 to 0.7%.
The sludge from each individual plant shall be conveyed via a new pumping system to a series
of new thickeners, which shall thicken the sludge to approximately 4%. From there feeder pumps
shall transfer the thickened sludge to the mechanical dewatering units, which shall provide at
minimum a dewatering rate of 25%. The sludge shall be dumped into containers, which will be
taken by the Employer and moved to an appropriate dump site.
The scope of works includes the construction of the pumping stations for liquid and thickened
sludge, the thickeners, pipework, dewatering buildings, including appropriate dewatering
equipment to reach the envisaged DS content. Temporary, roofed storage space for one week
storage and appropriate road access shall be constructed by the Contractor. In the following the
Employer is giving some guidelines:
The pre-dewatered sludge shall be led to the mechanical sludge dewatering (e.g. belt press,
centrifuge). Supernatant from sedimentation tanks and dewatering units shall be collected and
recycled back to the coagulation.
In summary, the sludge dewatering units consist of the following:
• Pipe system from the filters and the clarifiers to the sludge pump station (or alternatively
to the pre-dewatering system);
• Sludge pre-dewatering system (thickeners or mechanical pre-dewatering);
• Pipe system between sludge pump station and the pre-dewatering system;
• Sludge, supernatant and water recycling pipe system;
• Piping system between pre-dewatering units and sludge dewatering system;
• Sludge tank with feeder pumps to sludge pre-dewatering system and sludge recycling
pumps;
Feeder Pumps, variable speed, max. capacity 300 m³/h, valve and check valve at
pressure side, flow meter;
7-95
Sludge recycling Pumps, variable speed, max. capacity 150 m³/h, valve and
check valve at pressure side, Flow meter;
• Supernatant recycling pumping station;
Supernatant Water Pumps, variable speed, non-clogging impeller, capacity
2400 m³/h;
Flow meter;
• Sludge pumping station for thickened sludge (if necessary and indicated by Contractor’s
design);
Sludge Pumps, horizontal-dry well installation, non-clogging impeller, capacity
300 m³/h;
Flow meter;
• Mechanical sludge dewatering;
Pre-dewatering units (e.g. thickeners, centrifuges, etc.), outlet min. 4% DS.
Building, including dewatering machines, polymer preparation/dosing, conveyor
system, containers, etc.
Roofed dewatered sludge storage plate 7 days’ storage.
The Contractor is free to design alternative ways of the sludge dewatering system, considering
an inflow concentration of 0.4% – 0.6% DS and reaching a dewatering level of 25% DS. Also, the
recycling streams and an appropriate sludge container feeding system shall be considered. The
dewatered sludge, which reaches the specified dewatering results will have to be disposed-off by
the Employer.

APPENDIX E: SUMMARY OF THE RAP REPORT
ASSESSEMNT OF COMPENSATION
1. Introduction
As already indicated an update of the old valuation report was conducted by Alliance
Consultants Ltd in June and October 2016, intended to estimate the current compensation
values. This section presents valuation methodology and the budget estimates.
2. Cadastral Surveys and Valuation Survey Methodology
The purpose of the cadastral and valuation exercise is to provide a framework through which
people that will be affected by the construction of the WTP and expropriation of land are
adequately identified, and subsequently fairly and appropriately compensated or resettled before
commencement of the construction works.
Cadastral Surveys
The actual valuation was preceded by the cadastral survey that involves:
1. Obtaining the cadastral data and other relevant information necessary to identify all
property owners and other persons that likely to be affected by the project, using
maps and drawings that show the land tenure system and affected land along the
alignment
2. Definition of the land tenure through which the project route runs
3. Surveying and documentation of land and built structures that are located within the
demarcated corridor
4. Production of the cadastral strip map that shows the boundaries and ownership of
the land parcel, that guides the valuation and land acquisition process
5. After the compensation exercise, the mutation, subdivision surveys, land title
processing and return of the residue land titles to the PAPs is expected to follow,
however this will exclude land in the Mukono-Katosi road reserve that has already
been acquired by UNRA/ Government of Uganda
6. A cadastral survey to amalgamate all the subdivided parcels of land so as to
produce one title for Government/ NWSC will be undertaken.
Valuation Methodology
The valuation was done following International Valuation Standards for the purpose of
ascertaining the quantum of compensation payable for the affected assets. The process
incorporated valuation principles and guidelines as issued by the Chief Government Valuer. The
exercise of land and property valuation for compensation followed the five stages outlined below;
• Reconnaissance and stakeholder’s engagement
• Community mobilization and sensitization
• Land surveys done by the Land Surveyor
• Inspection and referencing of buildings and structures, and enumeration and
assessment of economic trees, fruit trees and crops (trees outside NFA land)
7-121
• Draft Valuation Report Preparation, that is submitted to the Chief Government

Valuer
• Final Valuation Report Preparation and submission to Chief Government Valuer
and Client.
2.1 Assessment Process
The valuation of the land taken was guided by the cadastral surveys undertaken by the project
surveyor. The land surveyor provided the valuation team with acreage of land taken from each
individual (PAP) as affected by the water treatment project, in respect to the nature of interest in
the land, for instance, Private Mailo, Lease or Kibanja. In the field, the Land Survey Teams fixed
pegs to visually indicate the extent of the project area and to mark the various interests in land
along the project area including that of registered land and customary land. Then valuer started
the valuation exercise. The valuation team, assisted by Local Leader (LC1) of the affected
villages, in the presence of neighbours and property owners, identified, referenced and recorded
the stakeholders’ properties on their respective Bibanjas/land holdings. The property included all
land, developments/structures and crops belonging to the project affected person.
All buildings/structures affected by the Project were photographed with their respective
owners/claimants standing in front of them. The same L.Cs (and neighbours) signed
witnessed/confirmed all the property items recorded on the assessment/crop forms for valuation
of each claimant property located in the project area.
2.2 Asset Profile and Compensation Principles
a) Ownership/Tenure: The WTP affects different types of land tenure (e.g. Mailo/Freeholds,
Leaseholds and Customary holdings) and these were assessed appropriately. The biggest
category of PAPs on the land falls under Licencees (on NFA land) followed by Bibanja holdings
on titled land.
b) Land: The proposed water works at Ssumbwe landing site, part of the pipe line and the water
reservoir on Nsumba hill will affect land belonging to National Forest Authority land, and the
PAPs on that land are considered to be Licensees, growing crops and having temporary/semi-
permanent structures. The PAPs will not compensated for the land but only perennial crops and
their temporary/semi-permanent structures.
On the other hand, the private property owners will be compensated for their land and
improvement on the (structures and crops). The individual acreages of land that is affected by
the Project is indicated on the land surveyor’s Strip Map, Valuation Report and Summary Values
as well as on the respective Compensation Assessment Forms. The total land area for private
land owners (including Titled land) that is to be affected by the project is yet to be determined by
the Land Surveyor on acquiring all requisite data from the Lands Office. Nonetheless, the total
land may not exceed 12.00 acres.
c) Buildings/structures: These consist of mainly semi-permanent/temporary buildings/structures,

sheds and kiosks in the Project Area.
d) Crops: Both perennial and seasonal crops will be affected by the project. However, the
assessment concentrated on all and only perennial crops and trees within the project area
(excluding the tree on NFA land). Seasonal crops were left out of assessment because will be
ready for harvest between the time of assessment and compensation payment and/or the time of
giving up vacant possession of land before construction phase.
2.3 Determination of the Compensation Award
7-122
The valuation was computed on the basis of the Laws governing compensation as provided for
under The Uganda Constitution, 1995, The Land Act, 1998 (Amended) and The Land Acquisition
Act, 1965. They all emphasize “open market values”.
a) Land
Land values were based on comparable market values/sales of land/holdings in the area and as
evident in the different locations along the project area. A rapid and thorough survey was carried
out in the project area and neighbourhood in order to determine the land market values.
The market value of land is the price that would be obtained in a situation of a willing seller and a
willing buyer in normal market conditions and is indicated by the indicative price for a standard
size of land in an area/neighbourhood. Speculative land deals entered into as a result of the
proposed Project were ignored in arriving at the comparable land values.
b) Buildings/Structures
These were referenced/measured, details of construction, finishes, areas, accommodation,
quality of workmanship and condition recorded. These details formed the basis of the
compensation assessments for such structures. All buildings/structures in the Project Area were
photographed for record/verification purposes.
a) For buildings and structures constructed in permanent materials, the valuation was
based on their replacement costs.
b) For buildings and structures constructed in semi-permanent or temporary materials, the

valuation was based on the current approved Mukono District Area Compensation Rates.
c) For Crops, valuation was based on the current “Approved” Mukono District Area
Compensation Rates as prepared by Mukono District Land Board. Only Perennial crops,
trees, etc. within the Project Area were physically counted per owner/stakeholder’s holding.
It should be noted that where there was evidence of excessive/big numbers of crops, as would
not be in line with normal agricultural department planting/spacing recommendations or normal
crop husbandry, those figures were adjusted to be commensurate with the normal
recommendations. Where such adjustments were made, the remarks were footnoted on the
Compensation Assessment Forms.
2.4 Recording
All field data that was captured in the field was recorded on Compensation Assessment Forms
which state/clarify the construction details, areas, numbers, nature/type and qualify/condition of
the assets (especially trees and crops).
7.2.5 Disturbance Allowance
In compliance with The Land Act, 1998 (Amended) and other Statutes governing compensation,
a “Statutory” Disturbance Allowance has been added on top of the total (land,
buildings/structures and crops) compensation figure. A Statutory” Disturbance Allowance of 30
% has been added on top of the total compensation assessment figure ((land,
buildings/structures and crops). This is on the assumption that the project affected persons shall
be given less than 6 months to give up their interests in the land and relocate elsewhere.
3. Likely Supplementary Valuation
It should be noted that there may be some claims for compensation at a later date which
will/might arise out of “Injurious Affection” as a result of/in the course of the Project works. Such
7-123
cases will be considered for assessment for compensation at the appropriate time.
Compensation may also be considered where the residue portion of land is so small that it is
rendered useless to the stakeholder (“Severance”).
4. Total Compensation Assessment:
The provisional total compensation assessed in respect of the (304) Project Affected
Persons’/owners’/claimants’ interests (so far identified) in the proposed NWSC Project Area is in
the region of UGX 550,000,000/= (Five Hundred and Fifty Million, only).
Schedules of Summary Values and the respective Crop/Assessment Forms showing details of
valuation will be attached to the final Valuation Report (bound separately).
That budget estimate excludes the proposed resettlement assistance proposed for Sumbwe
landing site, which is presented in the next chapter.
