SECTION 3: TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR)

1. Project Background

13. About the UWI Open Campus

The University of the West Indies Open Campus (UWIOC) is the newest campus of the 60-

year-old University of the West Indies (UWI). It was formally launched in Antigua &

Barbuda in June 2008 and is an amalgamation of the previous Office of the Board for Non-

Campus Countries & Distance Education (BNNCDE), the School of Continuing Studies

(SCS), the UWI Distance Education Centre (UWIDEC), and the Tertiary Level Institutions

Unit (TLIU).

The UWI Open Campus offers multi-mode teaching and learning services through virtual and

physical Site locations across the Caribbean region. There are currently 44 Site locations of

the Open Campus in the region, serving 17 countries in the English-speaking Caribbean.

The Open Campus has developed a unique approach in the Caribbean region to enhancing the

student experience in innovative continuing and professional education, undergraduate,

postgraduate and continuing education study programmes and courses by distance, blended,

online and face-to-face learning modes.

14. Project funding by Global Affairs Canada

On March 27, 2013 the Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and the UWI Open Campus signed a

contribution agreement for a project entitled “UWI Open Campus - Strengthening Distance

Education in the Caribbean” (SDEC). This agreement covers the period from March 27, 2013

to March 31, 2018.

The SDEC Project will, among other things, create and implement new market-driven

responsive Distance Education courses and programmes, and strengthen the long term

capacity of UWI as an institution. The latter includes the strengthening of both human

resources and institutional infrastructure such as systems, processes and, to a very limited

extent, physical facilities of the University in support of the new programmes.

15. Project Rationale The Governments of the Caribbean have indicated the need for the University of the West

Indies to play a significant role in the development of human capital which is essential to the

economic growth of Caribbean countries. The University has accepted this responsibility and

has instituted the Open Campus to extend its capabilities by offering opportunities for

education in dual and multimode format in order to achieve its strategic objective of

developing human capital and promoting economic growth throughout the Region. In 2008,

the fourth campus of The University of the West Indies - The Open Campus - was formally

launched. Since then, the institution has expanded its reach across the Caribbean region and

now serves in excess of 18,000 students at 44 Sites in 17 countries. This campus, which

comprises a network of real and virtual nodes, is ideally positioned to provide post-secondary

education to persons in hitherto under‐served communities, as well as to Caribbean and other

peoples residing in the Diaspora and beyond.

Page | 11

In these respects, the Open Campus will not only improve access to university , continuing

professional and pre-university programmes, but it will also provide the scaffolding by which

access is made possible to many who would otherwise be excluded from development through

higher education. Existing limitations in terms of resources at the Sites and the technological

capabilities that are essential must however be addressed as a matter of urgency if the

indicated strategic objectives are to be realized.

In addressing some of the limitations of access due to physical infrastructure, The UWI Open

Campus has selected for development, several Sites in several Caribbean territories and an

assessment of these Sites is now required.

The selected Sites are:

1. Belize

2. Dominica

3. St. Kitts

4. Trinidad (San Fernando)

A summary of each Site is listed as Appendix A.

B. Objectives of the Assignment

The objective of this assignment is to hire a firm (the “Consultant”) to provide needs analyses,

survey drawings, soil testing and related environmental analyses, and prepare detailed

conceptual architectural and engineering design documents and costings for four (4)

regionally dispersed UWI Open Campus Sites.

C. Scope of Works

The Scope of Works is categorized into three (3) specific groups:

Group 1: Site Characterization works

Group 2: Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA)

Group 3: Conceptual Architectural and Engineering Design Works

Details of works under each Group are outlined below.

It is anticipated that at the end of the works, the following outcomes will be realized for each

of the four (4) selected Sites:

1. Survey drawings will be prepared;

2. Soil testing and related environmental analysis would have been conducted;

3. Detailed engineering concept design document will be prepared and must include the

identification of realistic constraints for design;

4. Detailed architectural concept design document will be prepared and will highlight

identification of a recommended design solution;

5. Detailed costings (for new construction; extensive renovations and light renovations)

will be prepared;

6. Probable cost for recommended Design solutions

7. Preliminary Project Schedules will be prepared.

Page | 12

The Consultant must also:

Identify any red-flag issues surrounding the proposed Project and indicate whether

these issues can be eliminated or mitigated; and

Gather and present additional Site-related information that will be used by potential

bidders of the Project to inform their Designs for the selected Sites.

Group 1: Site Characterization Works

Site Characterization work should commence with the conduct of needs analyses and site

surveys. It must also include validation of the legal boundaries and commercial viability of the

land. The Site characterization works report is intended to inform the appropriate positioning

of buildings and define the likely extent of the works and infrastructural needs for the future

development of the Site.

As a minimum, the following will be required:

a. Topographic and Cadastral Survey

Site cadastral and topographical surveys should be undertaken to determine the legal parcel

extent, and the commercial viability of the operations or construction or retention of a

Learning Centre/Site at the location. It should also consider the erection of safe buildings and

adequate car parks, and should also provide mapping of the Site.

This mapping should include:

The shape and size of the legal extent of the parcel;

All physical features both man-made and topographic within the survey area;

Evidence of made-up ground, dumping, subsidence or past demolition;

All adjacent roadways, ramps, bridges, tunnels, footpaths, tracks, with spot levels

to curbs, channels and crowns including all material finishes clearly marked;

All service-related features such as sub-stations, pump houses, telecommunications

boxes, manholes, inspection covers, gullies, service plates, overhead cables and

other obstructions must be clearly located;

Any other engineering features or elements of structure of relevance;

Levels within the survey area in grid formation at a maximum of 5 metres,

including topographic contour lines. All changes of line, level and surface material

to be recorded and sufficient levels to be taken to denote all changes in ground

profile;

Details of levels, locations and profiles of any ponds, ditches, streams (including

water level and direction of flow), banks, depressions, mounds, footpath, retaining

walls and the like;

Ground and/or slab levels immediately outside the Site boundary particularly

where a difference in surface material or ground level across the boundary exists;

Outline of any properties adjacent to the Site including slab levels, drainage runs,

building overhangs, overhead cables within close proximity of Site boundary;

All drains crossing the Site;

Any electricity substation, gas governors and valves, telephone junction boxes,

water stop cocks within the Site or adjacent areas shall be shown and identified on

the survey;

Page | 13

Buildings and paved areas and the like within the Site boundary shall be shown in

full outline;

Overhead lines and wires are to be shown with line and height where they cross or

are in close proximity to the Site;

Underground tanks, cellars, footings as can be located without excavation are to be

shown in outline with levels and description of construction;

Any evidence of flooding or ponding or saturated ground conditions are to be

shown;
