Representatives of the Government of Tonga (GoT) met with the World Bank (WB) mission to review the implementation progress of the Tonga Climate Resilient Transport Project II (TCRTP2) from May 27-31, 2024. The mission is grateful for the cooperation extended by the GoT, and in particular the Ministry of Finance (MOF), the Ministry of Infrastructure (MOI), and Tonga Airports Limited (TAL). 2. The main objectives of this mission were to assess overall project implementation progress and review the status and plan of each activity. The Aide-Memoire contains the following Annexes: Annex 1: Next Steps, Annex 2: Persons and Team Members and Annex 3: Site Visit Inspection Notes. Summary Project Status (TCRTP2) Progress Towards The Project Development Objective statement is “Improve the climate resilience and safety Moderately Achieving the of the Recipient’s transport sector, and, in the event of an eligible crisis or emergency, Satisfactory Project respond promptly and effectively to it” . The PDO is expected to be achieved within the ▼ Development project completion date of June 30, 2029. The progress towards achieving the PDO is Objective (PDO) downgraded to Moderately Satisfactory as implementation delay persists with more than a year delay compared to the original timeline for the appointment of the road design and supervision consultant contracts which resulted to a negative impact on the subsequent road rehabilitation activities. Implementation The overall implementation progress remains Moderately Satisfactory as all design and Moderately Progress supervision contracts (marine, roads, aviation) have been awarded and the design phase is Satisfactory progressing. Work on the TRC-3 (Taufa’ahau Road) has started and is proceeding well. Three additional contracts for road works are planned to be awarded by July 2024. The ◄ ► schedule for other procurement activities has been adjusted to account for the local contracting market's capacity issues and previous delays in securing the design and supervision consultants. Rating Trends: ▲ Improving. ▼ Deteriorating; ◄ ► No change. 1 Key Issues 3. The project shows improved overall progress since the last mission. However, delays in critical activities continue, leading to downgrading the PDO rating to Moderately Satisfactory. The Design and Supervision Consultants for roads, maritime and aviation sectors have initiated their work. The first roadworks project under TCRTP2 (Hoi-Kolonga) is underway, and three more roadworks contracts are expected to commence by August 2024. Nonetheless, there is a significant implementation delay of over a year beyond the original schedule for appointing road and maritime design and supervision contracts, which negatively impacts the subsequent road rehabilitation efforts. 4. The preparation of designs for roads and maritime must be expedited to prevent additional delays. Following a substantial initial setback, the design and supervision (D&S) consultants for roads have begun their work. Similarly, the maritime design and supervision (D&S) consultants have started but need a contract variation to finish the design works. It is essential to conclude this contract variation promptly to finalize the port designs and proceed with the procurement of the works contract. Meanwhile, the design for the aviation, specifically the ‘Eua airport runway rehabilitation, is finished, and the biding documents are currently under preparation. 5. The ongoing procurement processes for the works and consultants should be accelerated through timely decision and input from PMU and MOI. The contracts for the TRC-4 Rehabilitation of Vava'u South-West and Tongatapu Roads is nearing the award stage. The ‘Eua airport runway rehabilitation is almost ready to be put out to bid. Additionally, there are numerous technical assistance activities in the planning stages across the road, maritime and aviation sectors. Delays in procurement and implementation have been observed, often due to the time taken for decisions and input from the MOI and PMU. To expedite these processes, timely technical decisions and inputs from the MOI are essential. 6. Aviation Safety and Security Levy and Upper Airspace Revenues. The World Bank once again requested MOF and MOI to provide the current status of the levy and Upper Airspace revenues and expenditure. The information are essential for the preparation of the regional airport asset maintenance support under the TCRTP2 project. The MOF is expected to send a communication regarding both aviation funds to the World Bank by July 30, 2024. Project Progress Component 1: Capacity Building on Transport Planning and Policies 7. Commercial Driver License (CDL) training for women. The bidding process was open to both international and national consultants. Due to the absence of initial Expressions of Interest (EOI), the EOI submission deadline has been extended to June 16, 2024. The PMU will reach out to several potential consultants to discuss the possibility of their participation in the bidding. It is anticipated that a consultant will be hired by July 31, 2024. 8. Phase 2 Vulnerability Assessment and Climate Resilient Roads Strategy. As previously agreed, the resources for this activity will focus in preparing detailed designs at the risk spots in Vava’u and ‘Eua, which were identified by Phase 1 Vulnerability Assessment in Vava’u and ‘Eua. In addition, the designs for risk spots in Ha’apai are also included. The assessment and design of vulnerable spots in Ha’apai are planned to be performed by the roads D&S consultant. The vulnerability assessment in Tongatapu will not be conducted considering its low risk but the roads D&S consultant will ensure necessary resilience works. The procurement of this activity is currently underway, with 13 EOIs received and a target award date of November 30, 2024. 2 9. Maritime Policy Advisor. The TOR is under preparation by the Marine and Ports Division (MPD), and will be sent to the World Bank by June 14, 2024. The target award date for this advisor is August 31, 2024. 10. Consultants for RAMS, Roads Acts, and Traffic Codes. No current progress as discussion between MOI and potential donors are ongoing that are interested in providing technical assistance. Regarding RAMS, MOI will inform needs of the consultant to the World Bank outlining interest from other development partners. JICA is interested in funding road sector capacity building project which also covers RAMS and Australian National Transport Research Organisation (NTRO) also plans capacity building activities in this area. MOI agreed to coordinate among all parties to avoid any overlap or duplication. 11. Public transport study. The draft TOR of the public transport study was prepared as part of the World Bank study on reducing car dependency and shared with PMU. PMU will finalize the TOR based on the result of the Traffic Management Study which is currently ongoing. The procurement for the consultant is expected to commence by July 2024, with an expected EOI shortlist by the end of September 2024. 12. Laboratory Advisor.
