Belize Municipal Development Project (P111928) Climate Resilient Infrastructure Project (P127338) 104189 Implementation Support Mission – February 22 - 26, 2016 Aide Memoire Introduction 1. A World Bank team led by Diana Rubiano Vargas (TTL and Senior Disaster Risk Management Specialist) and Frederico Ferreira Pedroso (TTL and Disaster Risk Management Specialist) and comprised of Stephen Brushett (Lead Transport Specialist – Consultant), Bishwa Pandey (Senior Data Management Specialist – Consultant), Philip Barutha (Transport Engineer – Consultant) and Marion Cayetano (National Focal Point – Consultant) visited Belize from February 22 to 26, 2016 to carry out an implementation support mission for the Municipal Development Project (MDP) and the Climate Resilient Infrastructure Project (CRIP). Keren Charles (Disaster Risk Management Specialist – Consultant) provided support from Washington, DC. 2. The objectives of the mission were to: (i) discuss steps to improve the implementation of CRIP; (ii) discuss the CRIP technical assistance activities with the technical line ministries; (iii) conduct site visits to the MDP Phase II works; (iv) advance discussions with the Ministry of Labour, Local Government and Rural Development on the sustainability of MDP technical assistance programs; and (v) review implementation of the projects. 3. The mission team held discussions with Ms. Yvonne Hyde (CEO, Ministry of Economic Development and Petroleum); Mr. Errol Gentle (CEO, Ministry of Works, Transport and NEMO); Mr. Kerry Belisle (CEO, Ministry of Labour, Local Government and Rural Development); Dr. Colin Young (CEO, Ministry of Agriculture, the Environment and Sustainable Development); Ms. Nellie Trench (Acting Executive Director, Social Investment Fund, SIF); Mr. Ernest Raymond (Project Coordinator-MDP, SIF) and Dr. Wendel Parham (Project Coordinator- CRIP, SIF) and the staff of the respective PMU and PIU. A detailed list of persons met is provided in Annex 1. The mission visited the completed and ongoing works under the MDP at Belmopan, San Ignacio/Santa Elena, Benque Viejo, Orange Walk and Corozal. The mission also visited the Northern Highway, site of the prospective initial sub-project under CRIP. The mission wishes to express its thanks to government agencies and ministries, mayors and town councils for the courtesies and cooperation extended throughout its stay. 4. This aide-memoire summarizes the findings, recommendations and agreements reached during the mission and it is subject to confirmation by World Bank management. The aide-memoire will be publicly disclosed once finalized. Climate Resilient Infrastructure Project (CRIP) 5. Overview. The CRIP became effective on April 29, 2015. As of February 25, 2016, the Project had disbursed approximately US$ 887,030, equivalent to 2.96% of the loan amount. The total amount disbursed and committed is US$ 898,938.10, which is 3.00% of the total loan. The progress towards the achievement of the Project Development Objectives is rated Satisfactory; however, the Implementation Progress is Moderately Unsatisfactory. The mission underlined the concern from Bank management on the slow implementation progress, particularly the low disbursements, and recommended that the Project Management Unit (PMU) put together a sharply focused action plan to accelerate some activities for delivery in the current calendar year. The issues encountered and solutions on how they would be addressed were discussed extensively during the mission with the PMU and technical ministries. The resulting action plan is at Annex 2. Component 1: Climate Resilient Infrastructure 6. Infrastructure works. The opening of feasibility study proposals occurred at 2.30 pm on February 25, 2016. Four firms submitted proposals. The technical evaluation is expected to be completed before the end of March 2016. The mission discussed the composition of the evaluation committee, which would be chaired by Ministry of Works, Transport and NEMO (MoWTN). It was concluded that a range of competent persons representing the key constituencies in various disciplines should be involved and that the PMU should ensure that the evaluators had relevant prior experience. The Bank expects a timely final decision on committee composition. The final, revised request for proposals (RFP) for the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is expected to be ready by March 4, 2016 and will then be issued to the selected consulting firm. The mission discussed with the PMU the need to undertake more detailed planning of the feasibility study implementation, which is expected to start by June 2016, and the ESIA implementation, which should start not more than 2 months later as both activities are complementary. Component 2: Technical Assistance for Improved Climate Resilience Management MoWTN Technical Assistance – Support to the Ministry of Works, Transport and NEMO (MoWTN) 7. General. The mission met with MoWTN to discuss the technical assistance activities identified in the Procurement Plan. These activities have not advanced in relation to prior agreed timeframe. The mission also discussed potential areas of collaboration with the Bank, including additional grant funded technical assistance support aiming at the sustainability of data collection and analysis on road condition as well as on the development of a suitable asset management system. The MoWTN expressed interest in further engagement with the Bank to provide support to this effort and agreed to formalize a request to the Bank. 8. Testing Laboratory. The mission confirmed the MoWTN plans to provide the equipment list for the testing laboratory to the Bank for technical review and comment by March 11, 2016. The ToR for the installation and training for the testing laboratory equipment is expected to be sent by the end of March, 2016. 9. Road Maintenance Unit (RMU). The mission confirmed with MoWTN that the consultancy funded by the IDB to review and assess the current road maintenance arrangements was terminated without the production of any documentation or recommendations. MoWTN has expressed interest to engage with the Bank on funding of the technical assistance to help with developing the RMU. 10. Institutional Analysis. The mission confirmed with MoWTN the CDB funded consultancy to conduct an institutional analysis of road management in the MoWTN is now at the stage of evaluation of proposals. The award and start-up of this consultancy is expected in approximately three months. MNRI technical assistance – Support to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Immigration (MNRI) 11. General. The mission met with Ministry of Natural Resources and Immigration (MNRI) to discuss the technical assistance activities identified in the Procurement Plan. While the prior agreed target dates have not been met, the mission was pleased to note significant recent progress in this component. 12. Land Use Planning TA. Revised terms of reference (ToR) for the Land Use Policy TA were submitted by the PMU and has been reviewed by the mission. The Project Coordinator agreed to forward the comments to MNRI for their consideration. The Bank issued a technical clearance on February 25, 2016 and requested the PMU to proceed with the necessary steps to prepare the RFP and short list (this is a prior-review activity). 13. NSDI. The revised National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) interim report has been submitted by the consultant and is being revised with input from the Bank. The consultant will be returning to Belize in mid-March 2016 to support the launching of the NSDI Executive and Technical committees and to advance discussions on the implementation plan and system architecture for the NSDI. MNRI has identified two technical (systems administration and data administration) staff that need to be hired and shared the respective ToRs with the mission. Whereas the system administrator is needed as a consultant for a 12-month level of effort over an appropriate period to be determined, the intent is for the data administrator to transition to a permanent staff basis in MNRI. The Bank will provide its comments on the ToRs by March 2, 2016. 14. MNRI shared a proposal on the way forward with the NSDI and a charter to guide the establishment of the Executive and Technical Committees. Those documents were briefly discussed with the mission. The proposal indicates that MNRI intends to position the NSDI to serve both Government and non-state actors. As part of this positioning, MNRI is assessing and documenting the state of its information technology infrastructure in preparation for discussions with the NSDI consultant on his next mission. MNRI is working on the implementation plan and on the system architecture for the NSDI and the entire ministry. 15. The Charter articulates the role of the Executive Committee and the Technical Committee of the NSDI. While it recognizes that some of the work of the technical committee will actually be developed through working groups, the mechanisms for allocating their tasks, establishing them, reviewing and adopting their work and decommissioning them is not included in the charter. MNRI indicated that the intention is for the Technical Committee to develop the mechanisms for establishing and operating the working groups. The Bank indicated that there will be a need for operational procedures for the Executive Committee and Technical Committee. MNRI noted the observation and agreed to review the full set of comments provided. The mission offered to engage the Bank in an audio conference with MNRI to further discuss the documents and other aspects of the NSDI implementation plan if MNRI would consider this helpful. Project Management 16. Project management and coordination. The status of the follow up on actions previously agreed is at Annex 3. In view of the slippage encountered in many of the activities as key to the effective implementation, the mission emphasized the need for the PMU to monitor carefully and consistently the next steps, in close collaboration with MED, in order to ensure project implementation is set on a sustainable path as well as ratings can be upgraded and disbursement improved. 17. To this end, the proposed mission action plan focuses specifically on actions that must be accomplished by end June 2016. These actions will be reviewed by the next mission and a further plan for the six months to December 2016 will be prepared. The PMU communicated their intention to create a project plan and schedule in MS Project with a strategy document with goals and objectives to help communicate more effectively with the collaborating Ministries. Staffing of PMU is not an issue at this juncture following the increase in procurement capacity taking effect since the last mission. Municipal Development Project (MDP) 18. Overview. Since the September 2015 supervision mission, the Project has continued to make solid progress in its implementation. The Phase II Street and Drainage works are now all under implementation with only some minor issues and delays experienced to date. All other Phase II as well as all Phase I sub-projects have been satisfactorily completed. All of the technical assistance (TA) activities have been completed satisfactorily, while discussions continued during the mission in regard to the sustainability of the activities beyond Project completion. As of February 25, 2016, the Project has disbursed about US$ 11.568 million, equivalent to approximately 77.12% of the loan amount. The total amount disbursed and committed is US$ 14.967 million, which is about 99.78% of the total loan. The proposed action plan is at Annex 4 and the status of previously agreed actions is at Annex 5. 19. Phase II Street and Drainage Sub Projects. Annex 6 provides a summary of the progress achieved in regard to the ongoing six works contracts. The summary follows the format previously agreed with the Bank, but adds specific information of the length of the improved drainage structures constructed through the sub-projects. Financial and physical progress has been updated to the current date. Meetings were held with Project Implementation Unit (PIU) staff and site visits and meetings with mayors and local officials and stakeholders were carried out in Belmopan, San Ignacio/Santa Elena, Benque Viejo, Orange Walk and Corozal. Most sub-projects suffered from initial delays due largely to the following two factors: problems in the coordination with utility providers (especially Belize Telemedia Ltd - BTL and BWS – Belize Water Services), which is mostly beyond the control of the Project; and erroneous survey data included in the designs, which was within the control of the Project. The survey issue required the supervision consultants working with the contractors to have to make various adjustments to levels and drainage inverts. The following are the specific observations that relate to particular works contracts: Orange Walk and Corozal (7958-BZ/W20). The contract should be completed end March 2016, incorporating a 2 month extension of the original closing date. Drainage is complete on both sites. Works to be completed are primarily – third chip seal at North and South Park Streets and Lovers Lane in Orange Walk; road markings and signage for 1st Street South and 6th Avenue in Corozal. San Ignacio and Santa Elena (7958-BZ/W22). The contract is due to be completed end May 2016. There is likely to be a required extension of time due to the utility related delays for the San Ignacio rehabilitation (Cahal Pech, Martin Galvez, Bishop Desmond and Carmelita Streets). Benque Viejo (7958-BZ/W23). The contract is due to be completed end May 2016. For Independence Street, unsuitable material has to be removed and an existing drainage structure has been damaged - the council may seek additional funding to address the latter. For Juanita Gongora Street and in addition to the current works, attention still needs to be paid to the integration with recently completed roads in the vicinity. There are residual drainage issues in the lowest lying area. Belmopan (7958-BZ/W24). The contract is due to be completed end June 2016 and is on track. The works involve the construction of a substantial length of open lined drainage structures, the safety issues related to which have been discussed with the PIU and the council. Dangriga (7958-BZ/W25). The sub-project started later than the others as it was procured separately and later. With a completion date of end July 2016, the works are advancing very well and are likely to be completed ahead of time. Punta Gorda (7958-BZ/W26). The contract is due to be completed in mid-May 2016, but further time will likely be required. The main delay is on the Hopewell Loop where unsuitable material has to be removed. 20. Other Phase II works. The following works have been completed and are in their defects liability period: Belmopan: Almond Boulevard and Chiquibul Street; Benque Viejo: Sidewalks around Centennial Parka and along Churchill Street; and Corozal: Rehabilitation of Existing Market and Sports Complex. No issues in construction have arisen to date. 21. TA Sustainability. The mission discussed the continuation of activities started under the MDP with the Ministry of Local Government and the Transport Department. In regard to traffic management, two major areas of achievement are: the contribution of traffic management related revenues to the overall financial improvement of the Town and City Councils (TCCs), and capacity building of traffic management staff in the TCCs. The Road User and Traffic Enforcement manuals which were developed with the assistance of Project funded TA are in the process of final review and revision and will be made available in digital as well as physical form. Sustainability of these efforts would benefit from continued, effective collaboration between the ministries involved, as would attention to the two critical areas of: improving driver behavior, and addressing data base integration for improving enforcement. 22. The discussions with MLG also covered the asset management and municipal development plan consultancies, which outputs have been well received by the TCCs. Challenges remain however in regard to fully implementing the results. MLG made reference to the important role being played by the Mayors Association in supporting TCCs through dissemination of best practices, efforts which will continue to be buttressed by MLG’s own technical assistance activities. MLG shared with the mission a report that provides a full assessment and recommendations in regard to the technical assistance activities. The mission undertook for the Bank to provide its comments and suggestions no later than end April 2016. 23. Project Results. The Bank provided comments on the PIU’s assessment of the achievement and results of the MDP. These comments were discussed by the mission following which the PIU will complete a final version and send to the Bank before end March 2016. The revised version will include inter alia more detail on the stakeholders consulted, will discuss sub-project selection criteria and will include more on ideas and suggestions to sustain TA activities. The PIU will also review in the same timeframe the opportunity to develop and disseminate materials on project results widely to stakeholders and national constituencies. Following the mission’s recommendation, the PIU will produce a catalog of “before� and “after� pictures for the sub-project infrastructure to illustrate the impact of the Project. 24. The Bank recommended that attention be given to the technical evaluation of the Project and to comment on the key decisions that were taken in sub-project design (including the above mentioned survey data issues) as well as on the quality of construction and sustainability. Following discussion with the PIU, the mission agreed to develop and send by mid-March 2016 guidelines for the preparation of this assessment The analysis would take up some of the concerns expressed in previous Bank missions in regard to the safety dimensions of the infrastructure, especially uncovered, lined drains. The PIU and TCCs should assess what measures ought to be taken beyond the Project to mitigate the potential hazards of these structures to beneficiaries. The mission took note however of the greater attention that TCCs are beginning to play to safety concerns, in particular regard to school children and other pedestrians and the fact that many sub-projects saw the introduction of traffic calming measures additional to those originally included in the designs. Conclusions 25. The mission expresses its overall satisfaction with the implementation of MDP and proposes that the authorities maintain close attention to ensure full completion of ongoing activities prior to the end November 2016 closing date. 26. The mission expressed its concern at the less than satisfactory performance of CRIP and underlined the need for the authorities to commit to a time bound action plan to be completed by June 2016 to put the Project onto a more sustainable trajectory. 27. The mission proposes that the next joint implementation review take place in early June 2016. It is proposed that the Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) workshop and the final handover process take place at that time. ___________________________ ____________________________ Yvonne Hyde Frederico Ferreira Pedroso CEO Task Team Leader (CRIP) Ministry of Economic Development World Bank and Petroleum ____________________________ Diana Rubiano Vargas Task Team Leader (MDP) World Bank Annex 1: List of People Met Belize Social Investment Fund (BSIF) Ernest Raymond MDP Project Coordinator Wendel Parham CRIP Project Coordinator Nellie Trench Finance Coordinator Christine Lopez-King Senior Accounts Officer Evan Dakers MDP Social Officer Deon Barker Engineer Arlen Vanzie Engineer Therese Arzu MDP Administrative Assistant Savita Burns CRIP Administrative Assistant Ministry of Economic Development Yvonne Hyde Chief Executive Officer Emily Aldana Economist Ministry of Labour, Local Government and Rural Development Kerry Belisle Chief Executive Officer Eugene Palacio Director of Local Government Clifford King Local Government Officer Ministry of Works, Transport and NEMO (MoWTN) Errol Gentle Chief Executive Officer Lennox Bradley Chief Engineer Irving Thimbriel Senior Executive Engineer Crispin Jeffries Chief Transport Officer Jorge Espejo Jr. CRIP Engineer Shelton Defour NEMO Coordinator Ministry of Natural Resources and Immigration (MNRI) Paul Flowers Director of Policy Coordination and Planning Unit Gina Young Deputy Commissioner, Lands & Surveys Department Alex Anderson Public Relations Officer Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry the Environment and Sustainable Development Colin Young Chief Executive Officer Safira Vasquez Project Manager Town Councils Heraldo Rancharan Mayor, Benque Viejo Earl Trap Mayor, San Ignacio/Santa Elena Calin Belisle Mayor, Belmopan Kevin Bernard Mayor, Orange Walk Hilberto Campos Mayor, Corozal Consultants RM Engineering in association with DE&F Engineering Contractors Imer Hernandez Annex 2: CRIP Action Plan Relevant Recommendation/Action Responsible Due Date Activities Agency 1 Works Complete evaluation (technical and PMU/MoWTN End of March for financial) and prepare recommendation of with WB NO technical evaluation award for the FS.
