ABSTRACT

His Excellency the President of Sri Lanka has emphasized through his “MahindaChintanaya’ – Vision for the Future” Program that the benefits emanating from massive development taking place in the country as a whole should substantially reach the peasant farming community and their off-springs as much as the urban community. Also “MahindaChintanaya” advocates, and encourages the participation of local private sector construction companies in the realization of this objective. Thus the construction of the Kadigawa Bridge across Deduru-Oya with necessary improvements to the access roads with the help of Local Bank Funding is indeed an endeavor simultaneously fulfilling many aspects of His Excellency’s Vision.

The proposed Project is “Vital Connectivity Improvement of Puttalam&Kurunegala Districts by Construction of Two Lane Bridge across Deduru-Oya at Kadigawa and Its approaches, which has been a long felt need for at least over 3 decades. Political Authorities too have identified the importance of this vital link for the development of this remote and isolated area.

The management of Valence Engineering Services(Pvt) Ltd having experience in local infrastructure development works over 2½ decades decided to participate in this program by selecting construction of the Kadigawa Bridge and its approaches which consists of two lane concrete bridge and walk ways on either side.The proposal is to affect the connectivity of Kadigawa on the right bank of Deduru-Oya after construction of this bridge to Ujekele junction on the left bank, then achieving a vital connectivity link to Katugastota-Kurunegala-Puttalam road and Kurunegala-Chillaw road. This bridge is at half way point, between present two crossings across Deduru-Oyaviz the bridge at Nikaweratiya and the one near Chillawdownstream.The distance apart between the two existing bridges is nearly 50km.

1.1 Introduction

The proposed project comes with in the Kobeigane and Rasnayakapura Divisional Secretaries divisions in Kurunegala District in North Western province.Legend

Connecting RoadProposed Bridge

Figure 1: Project Area Map

The majority of the public in the area is a farming community living under poor infrastructure facilities in an underdeveloped countryside and they have been waiting for a long period to receive benefits of development undertaken by successive governments. The key to realization of the dream of development will be the proper improvement of accessibility to the area, which is the primary objective of the implementation of this project.The development of proper accessibility to the area will bring the benefits such as the ability to send the agricultural products of coconut, vegetables, paddy etc to suburb cities like Nikaweratiya, Kuliyapitiya, Puttalam, Chillaw& even Kurunegala with lesser cost and less travel time, the products such like clay bricks can reach easily to suburb cities and the income to producers will increase and consumer can buy at a reduced price, living standards will improve to higher levels by the entrance to good schools, health care facility at urban hospitals, easy access to obtain administration services from government & local government institutes, more participation in social interactive events,

ECN 460

access to parks & esplanades , sports etc. and, evacuation &temporary relocation facility at a disaster situation (such as the flash flood during December 2012)Also the successful implementation of the project will bring forth sharing of benefits accrued through development programs undertaken at other areas as a whole equally to the local community due to improved accessibility.

1.2 Background

The need for another bridge at a suitable location across Deduru-Oya bi-furcating the existing two crossings at Nikaweratiya& near Chillaw has long been felt by the authorities. This is well illustrated by the fact that the 1st foundation stone has been laid as far back as 1979 by the Government at that time.

Thereafter few more foundation stones too have been laid. But the present Government under the leadership of His Excellency, the President MahindaRajapaksha has instructed the political authority and the administration that this important need of the local people and the benefits that will accrue to the public at large by the construction of this bridge at Kadigawa should not be delayed any further. Accordingly the Secretary to the Ministry of Ports & Highways under whose purview the subject matter comes decided to execute this project under presently operating local bank funding scheme.

1.3 Description of Project Area

The Administrative & Provincial details of the project area are as listed below.

Province: North Western District: Kurunegala DS Division: Kobeigane, Rasnayakapura EE Division: Maho Road: Rasnayakapura-Kadigawa-road (provincial road) Electoral area: Nikaweratiya&Bingiriya

Figure:

Satellite Map of Kadigawa Bridge Project

Kadigawa is situated on the right bank of Deduru-Oya and physically lies on an extreme edge of Kurunegala District bordering Puttlam District. A cluster of provincial roads connect Kadigawa to Rasnayakapura, Nikaweratiya, Andigama, Pallamaetc in this way Kadigawa is connected to Katugastota-Kurunegala-Puttalum trunk road. For political administration Kadigawa is amalgamated to Kurunegala District.

Ujekele junction(Boraluwewa)is on the left bank of the Deduru-Oya and lies on the extreme of Kurunegala District politicall& administrative district too is the same. From Ujekele junction(Boraluwewa) roads are leading to Kobeigane,Bopitiya&Bingiriya thus connecting to Kurunegala-Chillaw trunk road.

1.4 Important of the Project

Even as far back as 1979 the Political Authorities and RDA have identified the construction of the Kadigawa Bridge to be an important task to be fulfilled for the upliftment of the area inhabited mainly by an under-privileged farming community. Unfortunately, the onset of the civil disturbances in the North and East not long after, withheld many though important locally funded projects, such would have been the case for this project especially it being not qualified for donor funding enlistment as the connecting roads at that time were not much recognized.

Even after the peace being established island-wide priority has been given much for North & East and much neglected deep-southern roads and bridge projects. This particular project being in the North Central Province easily could get sidelined unless a close scrutiny is made on the fact that the vital connectivity improvement contributed by this link roads and the bridge is overwhelmingly positive.

Few of the important benefits the local community would be endowed with are listed below.

After the 75/1 bridge at Nikaweratiya, the only other bridge across Deduru-Oya is No 78/3 Bridge along Peliyagoda-Puttalum road not very far from Chillaw.

The distance is around 50km between them. The proposed Kadigawa Bridge essentially lies midway from each of the above bridges and will serve immensely for the people living on either side of the river by substantial reduction of travel/transport distance after completion of this bridge.

Peasant farmers produce such as paddy, coconut and vegetables can reach suburb cities like Nikaweratiya, Kuliyapitiya, Puttlam, andChillaw and even Kurunegala which is a major city with much ease, thus serving the customer with a fresh & quality product at a lesser price.

Another income generating avenue is clay brick burning and the product will reach cities and the consumer at a reduced price.

sand mining along the river is a local industry, (with approval of the PradeshiyaSabha) sand as a construction material will reach developer/consumer at a much lower cost

Last but not the least, the peasant farming community which comprises the majority of the population and more importantly their off-springs will be exposed to higher levels of living standards; entrance to good schools etc. and improved health care at urban hospitals too will be available for them. Central and local government administrative institutes can be accessed easily. More participation in social interactive events, access to parks and esplanades, sports will be of easy access to younger generation.

ECN 460

During heavy flood such as the present one (December 2012) evacuation and temporary relocation etc. can be done much more expeditiously.

Sufficient space is available for on both sides of the propose access road. Bridge site is bare land owned by the Government. People who own lands (if to be acquired) are willing to handover land with a Minimal cost as the completion of the road and the bridge is a long felt need.

General Sector Information

The approach roads are designed to confirm to Geometric Design STD of Roads (RDA specification for highway designs) and is designed to accommodate 70km/hr speed traffic flow. The bridge design is confirming to BS-5400.Afree board of 0.9m is kept above recent flash flood (2012 December) which is observed to be highest for decades recorded.Living on the either side of Deduru-Oya banks the average income of the local village community is just around or below poverty level.Main income generation is by farming, paddy and coconut cultivation, brick burning, employment in NLDB farms. Presently, during very dry period people cross the river by a barrel barge towed manually. Motor cycles, elders, sick persons, children all use this mode of river crossing. During the rainy season even the access road become a muddy pool of water and impossible to travel and cross -over.

2. Project Identification

ECN 460

2.1 Approaches to Project Identification

All approaches to the project identification are usually based on the availability of resources, availability of markets & fulfillment of needs.

2.1.1 Resource –based ApproachesAccording to that resource based identification of this project starts by examining existing

domestic factors such as land , labor , raw materials & technology. For this purpose government promised to give enough land for the project. And labour have taken from china. Local and foreign technology used for the project. With the direction of RDA, HNB provide fund for the project. At the same time it is also necessary to examine the production potential specially factor market potential. Availability of human and other resources and the availability of raw materials also checked through the sector and regional surveys.

2.1.2 Market –based ApproachesAssessing opportunities available for raw materials and other human capital are the main

need for the Kadigawa project. So it is important to make sure the availability of inputs over the project periods. So these identifications achieved by conducting market surveys.

2.1.3 Basic need-based ApproachesThe need based approach basically depends on the needs of the people and the

society. Transport is one of the important infrastructure facilities for the society. But in this place people don’t have a proper transport facility because of the bad condition of the sand roads, weather problems and the sudden variation of the river level. So these situations become severe problems to the society. In addition fulfilling the basic need of the society is a key responsible for all. According to above problem this project has identified the basic need.

2.1.4 Government policy or priority Relationship of the Project to National Priorities

Implementation of this project will vastly improve the connectivity of number of townships in the N.C.P. thereby improving mobility, accessibility and safety of the road users. This will have a positive impact to the upliftment of the Rural Economy which in turn contributes to the National Development Programme.

ECN 460

2.2 Sources for Project Concepts

2.2.1 TechniciansUsually the technical officers, administrators and managers of a specific sector are all well known about the issues, problems, opportunities and trends relevant to the sector. Therefore in this project most of the local talent and resources have used. Especially Economists, Financial analysts, Energy specialist, Engineers, Demographers, Sociologists, Environmentalist, Educators and physical planners all have all an important role for the project. At the same time labor force and part of technology have taken from china, so it is also a very strong position to conceive project ideas.

2.2.2 Planners and policy makersThese groups of people both at local and national level are a very good source for identify the project concept. In this project also approaches and models have taken from other countries towards making certain modifications to suit local needs with the help of local planners and policy makers.

2.2.3 EntrepreneurshipEntrepreneurs and their expertise play a very significant role in project. Because these are the people who can create new ideas and innovations.The Kadigawe project is carry on by a private contractor with the influence of the government for the policy and development directions.

2.2.4 Political leadershipIn project planning as well as in appraisal politicians play a major role. In this project approval has got through the cabinet and RDA. In this case provincial council members especially provincial minister have played a major role in identifying the project concept. And for some cases we had to get permit ions from some government base authorities.

2.2.5 Donors and foreign missionsIn most projects donors also contribute by providing financial and technical assistance on the basis of grants and loans.In the kadigawe project loans have taken from the HNB and local authorities. At the same time china provide some technical assistance to the project.

ECN 460

2.3 Priority Areas for Identification of Project Concepts/Ideas

2.3.1 Creating employmentMost of the employees involve in this project. They are high level employees and low level employees.

High level employees Project manager Engineers Designers Surveyors Surveying helpers Technical officers Draft man Office aide Supervisors

Low level employees Labors Cleaners

2.3.2 Foreign exchange earningIncrement in foreign exchange earnings.

2.4.1 CommercialCommercial Feasibility covers the market side. In this project available inputs have taken from local and foreign markets. Factor markets are most feasible for these projects according to this most of raw materials have taken from Colombo market. All the equipment and machineries have taken from the china factor market.

2.4.2 FinancialThrough this bridge we expect to cover the part of finance towards making entrance fees. And the development of proper accessibility to the area will bring the benefits to the government towards increasing production activities and any other economic activities. And the fund & loans to implement the project have collected from hatton national bank and any other local authorities.

2.4.3 Environment Sudden variation of the Deduruoya’s water level have analyzed successfully, Safety of the background areas & paddy fields also analyzed with proper plane. Effects of flood & sudden variations of water level have controlled with the help

of environmental authority. Feasibility of water cycle also confirmed with the accumulation of the

information about the water system

2.4.4 TechnicalThis project has proposed to implement in Kadigawa. In this place the sudden variation of river level is a major problem. So measurement of control techniques will be carried out to solve this problem.

2.4.5 EconomicEconomic analysis is considered the financial viability as well as the social impact. The successful implementation of the project will bring forth sharing of benefits accrued through development programs under taken at other areas as whole equally to the local community due to improve accessibility.

2.4.6 InstitutionalUnder the ‘MAHINDA CHINTANAYA –VISION FOR THE FUTURE ‘program, the kadigawe bridge across deduru- oya has proposed by the government. With the consultants approval the project has accepted by the Road development authority of Sri Lanka. The Velence engineering services private Ltd decided to participate in this program by selecting constructio0n of the Kadigawe Bridge. Presently this project is operating under the local bank funding system.

4.1Social Cost-Benefit Analysis

4.1.1 Identifying Project AlternativesValence Engineering Services(Pvt) Ltd is a local private sector construction in srilanka, request the government (road development authority) for permission to improve the transport facilities in order to build theConstruction of Two Lane Bridge across Deduru-Oya at Kadigawa. However the government administrators get the idea that this Construction of Two Lane Bridge across Deduru-Oya at Kadigawa working activities should rather than taken by the consulting engineers and contactor (Pvt) ltd (CEC) to improve the transport facilities.

Alternative 1: let “Valence Engineering Services (Pvt) Ltd”Alternative 2: let “consulting engineers and contactor (Pvt) Ltd”However there is one more alternative, that is zero alternative which means is not to construct the bridge project.

As we can see, both alternatives have positive net present values. However, alt 1 and alt 2 require the same approach and therefore both cannot be implanted. From

ECN 460

what so far we have seen so far alternative 1 can be recommended since it has the highest net present value.Two decion making criteria other than the NPV can be used in project appraisal

i. Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR)ii. Internal rate of return (IRR)

4.1.6 Non-valued and non- quantified effectsNon-quantified effects of a project can generally be described as either social impacts or environmental impacts. Analyses of such effects are called Social Impact Assessments (SIA) And Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA). The importance of the EIA and SIA as an effective tool for the purpose of integrating environmental and social considerations with development planning. The impacts can be positive or negative.

We should try to identify and describe all such effects if such effects are significant. The effects can be summarized in the following table, where they are appraised according to the following symbols.

+++ = very beneficial effect.

--- = very negative effect.

++ = moderately beneficial effect.

-- = moderately negative effect.

+ = slightely beneficial effect.

- = slightely negative effect.

Environmental Impacts Impacts on river water and soil quality: when constructing Kadigawa bridge

project, there are so many impacts will be occur. To compensate these impacts the organization should allocate some amount from project finance. Because of the Kadigawa bridge construction across Deduru-oya, river water can be polluted and the quality of soil can be reduced.

Impacts on biological environment: the way of life of plants and living beings which are in the area of bridge construction can be destroyed or collapsed.

Social Impacts Impacts on people’s property: Especially the person who lives around the area of

bridge construction loses their own lands. Impacts on agricultural lands and industrial activities: changes in the employment

pattern. Cultural conflicts Impacts on community areas and sites. Accessibility to commercial areas. The agricultural land can be abundant because of the intrusion of project in

agricultural lands; the land owners will lose the part of their income. However, the marketing for these agricultural products will increase through this bridge construction.

So, the project works are implemented with the concentration on minimizing the social impacts and the environmental problems such as: dust, deforestation, water pollution.

These two tables give the summary to make an efficient recommendation about the Project of Construction of Two Lane Bridge across Deduru-Oya at Kadigawa.When

ECN 460

decision makers take the decision about which alternative(Alternative 1: “Valence Engineering Services (Pvt) Ltd”, Alternative 2: “consulting engineers and contactor (Pvt) Ltd”) is most suitable and profitable to implement this Kadigawa Bridge Project, They mainly concentrate on Net Present Values of Alternatives and Non Valued an Non Quantified Effects of Those Alternatives. In this project Non Valued andNon Quantified Effects of both alternatives are different. Alt 1 has 5(-) & 9(+), as well as Alt 2 has 11(-) & 2(+). When we compare the effects of both alternatives Alt 1 is better than Alt2. Because Alt1 has 5(-) & 9(+). But alt2 has 11(-) & 2(+). Here Alt 1 has more positive effects than Alt 2. And it has less negative effects than Alt 2.

Next when we see the Net Present Value of both alternatives they have Positive Net Present Values. But, they differ in numbers. NPV of Alt 1 is +180;NPV of Alt 2 is +48. When we compare these two alternatives we have accepted alternative 1 can be recommended since it has the highest Net Present Value than alternative 2.Finally, we come to conclusion Alt 1 is better to implement the project of Construction of Two Lane Bridge across Deduru-Oya at Kadigawa.
