ENERGY EFFICIENT PUBLIC BUILDINGS PROJECT IN UZBEKISTAN - FEASIBILITY STUDY

TERMS OF REFERENCE

1 BACKGROUND

The Republic of Uzbekistan (the “RoU”) is the most populous country in Central Asia; it is divided into twelve oblasts, one autonomous republic and one independent city (Tashkent). Housing conditions in RoU and Samarkand, Uzbekistan’s second-largest city (the “City”), in particular remain poor. Overcrowding is quite common as a result of multi-family occupancy of traditional housing units, a large part of which was built over thirty years ago.

The State Investment Committee of RoU (the “Committee”) has approached the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“EBRD” or the “Bank”) with a request to finance the construction of affordable energy-efficient multi-storey housing in the city of Samarkand (the “Project”) to alleviate existing housing shortage in the City and Samarkand region. EBRD has agreed to consider a USD 60 million loan to the RoU to co-finance the Project.

The Bank wishes to engage a qualified consultant (the “Consultant”) to prepare a comprehensive feasibility study (“FS”) to assess the feasibility of a proposed Priority Investment Programme (“PIP”).

2 OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of the assignment is to prepare the FS, which the Bank could use to comprehensively appraise the Project and make a decision on prospective financing.

In order to achieve the objective, the scope of the assignment includes, inter alia: Overview of the Samarkand housing sector; Review of existing designs of the proposed buildings from technical and resource-

efficiency points of view, working with the government to ensure that both PIP and Long-term Investment Programme (“LTIP”) are compliant with EDGE certification requirements for residential buildings and contain climate change resilience elements;

Confirmation of the Project costs, economics and calculation of the EIRR; Overview of the Project’s implementation arrangements, including i) suggestions on

potential improvements, ii) modes of transferring apartments to the end population (rent, sale, mortgage etc.), iii) methodology of allocation of municipal housing to the Project beneficiaries and iv) legal review of the proposed land plots;

Procurement strategy and potential tranching/timing of the Project; Evaluation of housing management options with a focus on private sector involvement; Environmental and social due diligence, including affordability review of the proposed

programme; Technical and financial feasibility assessment of the proposed investments including

whether it is the most effective least life-cycle-cost investment programme. Preparation of financial inputs/assumptions to be used in the financial model as per the

ANNEX 2ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASSESSMENT: COMPLIANCE SUMMARY TABLE

IntroductionThe Compliance Summary provides a systematic review of project compliance with the EBRD Environmental and Social Policy, as defined through the applicable Performance Requirements (PRs). Scope of compliance is all PRs applicable to non-FI projects. The review is intended to provide a baseline against which to judge future performance of projects through the annual environmental and social reporting process.Between 2 and 10 indicators are identified for each of the applicable PRs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10.GuidanceFor all PRs (Indicators with whole number references) provide a summary of overall compliance with the PR. Justification for any derogation from a PR should be summarised and supporting documents referenced.For each indicator within a PR, please complete the 3 steps below:

1. Decide whether the indicator is applicable. For Category A and B projects the starting point is that all indicators are applicable unless the project has no significant aspects relevant to the indicator (i.e. no risks), in which case the indicator should be scored "NA" and a brief summary of the reason given. For Category C projects the starting point is all indicators are NA unless the project has a significant aspect relevant to the indicator (i.e. there is a material risk).

2. Decide whether an opinion is possible. If not (for example if the indicator will apply, but it is too early in the project) score as "NOP" and provide a brief summary of why. Where lack of opinion represents a material omission to the review refer to where this is addressed in the report and summarise any recommendations.

OFFICIAL USE

OFFICIAL USE18

3. Score the indicator as follows and provide brief justification.

ECExceeding Compliance:The project has gone beyond the expectations of EBRD’s PR requirements. EBRD should be able to use projects rated EC as a role model for positive Environmental and Social effects.

FCFully Compliant:The project is fully in compliance with EBRD’s requirements, and EU and local environmental, health and safety policies and guidelines.

PCPartial Compliance:The project is not in full compliance with EBRD’s requirements, but has systems, processes or mitigation measure in place which are working towards addressing the deficiencies.

MNMaterial Non-compliance:The project is not in material compliance with EBRD’s requirements, and the systems, processes and mitigation measures in place are not working towards addressing the deficiencies.

4. Comments/Issues: Provide a brief commentary on the relevance of this requirement for the project and an explanation of the chosen score.

5. Actions Required: Where applicable, briefly describe any actions required by the client to achieve full compliance with each requirement. Where a relevant action is included in the ESAP for this project, please provide a reference to the ESAP.

6. PR Summary: Provide an overall summary against the PR, using the above compliance definitions with supporting commentary. In some cases it may be sufficient to address a PR at summary level only, depending on Stage 1 above.

Note: The Material Non-compliance score (at both Indicator and PR level) has significant implications for Project approval and requires particular care. In judging whether the measures sufficiently address deficiencies the consultant should consider in a structured way both the level of residual (post-approval) risk and the level of confidence that the Project can successfully bring the issue into compliance with the Policy through the ESAP. The table below illustrates the approach to be taken.

ANNEX 4GUIDANCE FOR A STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PLAN

The following is an indicative list of issues for possible inclusion in a Stakeholder Engagement Plan. The Consultant is expected to use its professional judgement to determine what issues (either listed below or additional) are relevant to the Project.

A Stakeholder Engagement Plan will need to: Briefly identify the Project location and areas subject to impact (e.g., list of communities) Record what the Project is legally required to do regarding disclosure and consultation Identify all stakeholders, including stakeholder maps (if relevant) Identify any specific groups who might be considered vulnerable or need more support in

the consultation process, e.g. because of their level of literacy, gender, socio-economic level, ethnicity/language, or location (e.g., proximity of the project to school, hospital, etc.). For each identified group, specify how meaningful consultation will be undertaken

Report on any previous consultation and disclosure activities Define which documents will be released, including a schedule, and in what language(s) Define where documents will be available (physical and online addresses) , e.g. provide

names of specific newspapers, bulletin board locations, etc. Define how people will be notified of the document availability State the beginning and end dates of the consultation Provide a table or list of meetings, activities or opportunities for comment. If

locations/dates are not yet known, state how people will be informed of the dates State who/where should comments be sent to, what will happen to them and how people

will be advised of the outcomes Define how grievances will be handled (including a specific public grievance process) Define the monitoring and reporting activities for the stakeholder engagement process Define the responsibilities for delivering the stakeholder engagement process

The SEP should be concise and not exceed 15 pages in length, excluding annexes.
