V. Component-wise Implementation Status

4. The project has three main components:

a. Component 1 – Electrification of Four Districts in Herat Province (US$20 million): This component

supports investments for building a new 110 kilo-Volt (kV) transmission line, and four 110/20 kV

substations and medium and low voltage distribution networks in four districts of Herat Province -

Chesht, Obe, Karokh and Pashtun-Zarghoon. Component 1 includes:

i) Design, supply and installation of a 25 kilometer (km) tapping transmission line to the new

substation near Karokh from the existing 110 kV transmission line between the Salma Dam and the

existing Noor-ul-Jahad substation.

ii) Design, supply and installation of four 110/20 kV substations each with the capacity of 10 Mega-

Volt Ampere (MVA) in the districts of Chesht, Obe, Karokh and Pashtun-Zarghoon of Herat

Province.

iii) Supply of distribution network equipment for electrification of households, businesses, schools,

health centers and holy places in the four districts.

5. The activities under Component 1 were bid out in three lots of Bid Package Bid Package

NPA/DABS/95/W-1343/ICB of Herat Electrification Project (P162022), where each lot corresponds to a sub-

component.

a. Lot 1 - Design, Supply, Construction, Erection, Testing and Commissioning of Four Substations of

110/20kV each at Chesht, Hobai, Karokh & Pashton Zarghoon,

b. Lot 2 – Design, Supply, Construction, Erection, Testing and Commissioning of 110kV Single Circuit

and Bank reviewed the revisions and advised DABS to submit the contracts for approval by National

Procurement Authority (NPA). Signing of the contracts is expected by August 30, 2017; following which the

winning bidders will be disclosed. The inclusion of safeguards (ENV & SOC) clauses with a reference to be

made in the contract agreement to the site-specific Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)

implementation would be adequate at this stage. However, the final site-specific ESMP shall be signed/initialed

by the contractor once the plan is finalized- reviewed by the WB-safeguards team.
