NINTH QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT Page 1



I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS

1. The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC), through the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology (MOWRAM) as the executing agency (EA), has received a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the implementation of the Uplands Irrigation and Water Resources Management Sector Project (UIWRMSP) (ADB Loan 3289-CAM). The project will enhance agriculture and rural economic productivity through increased efficiency and climate resiliency of irrigation systems and improved management of water resources in the upland areas of Kampong Thom and Battambang provinces. The total project cost is about US$ 66.12 million financed through an ADB loan of US$60 million1 equivalent from Special Drawing Rights (SDR) 43,121,0002 and government counterpart of about US$6.12 million. The location of the project area and targeted irrigation systems is in Appendix 1.

2. To provide the required project management and implementation consultants (PMICs) services to MOWRAM, project management unit (PMU), and the Provincial Department of Water Resources and Meteorology (PDWRAMs) of Kampong Thom and Battambang, MOWRAM engaged the services of Pacific Rim Innovation and Management Exponents, Inc. (PRIMEX), Philippines in Joint Venture (JV) with Oriental Consultants Global Co., Ltd (OCG), Japan and in association with Cambodians’ Action for Development Consultant Co. Ltd. (CADTIS), Cambodia through a contract signed on 29 January 2016. The team of consultants was mobilized on 15 February 2016.

3. As of 31 March 2018, the contracts awarded amounted to US$46.167 million (or 76.94% of the loan amount), while a cumulative expenditure of US$30.356 million (about 98.12% of total disbursement) was incurred. (The advance payment to the contractor is not considered as expenditure.) Six out of seven contracts have been awarded (CW02 was officially dropped), and the physical progress of works stands at about 69.58%, while the time elapsed from the effective date is 38.91%. Most of the project works are ahead of their scheduled targets.

4. The contract for Taing Krasaing (TK) (CW01) and Chroab (CW03) are fully completed and the Korkoah distribution system (CW04) is 87.70% done, including VO1, without time extension. Prek Chik (PC) main canal (CW-06) was completed in August 2017, and the defects liability period will last until August 2018. PC Package 1 (CW07) is 60.24% complete, and PC Package 2 (CW08) is about 75% complete. The results of the evaluation of bids for the Okra Nhak scheme (CW05) are being reviewed by the Procurement Review Committee (PRC). A new non-core subproject (NCSP) in PC Package 3, viz., Improvement of O Tra Cheak Chit Reservoir (MOWRAM/ICB-CW09) in Battambang (BTB) Province, was officially approved through an updated and revised Procurement Plan.3 The topographic survey proposal for the detailed design (DD) of the new subproject has been submitted to ADB for review and approval. The Model Interim Report of the Study on the Joint Reservoir Operation (JOROP) of TK and Stung Chinit (SC) has been prepared and submitted to PMU, to be followed by field testing and training in the following quarter.

5. The work plan for farmer water user community (FWUC) formation has been revised, with target completion in May 2018. The Project Management Implementation Consultant (PMIC) and the MOWRAM Farmer Water User Community (FWUC) Department teams have met farmers and local authorities, who benefit from irrigation systems, to discuss the following: (i) election of the Sub-Group of FWUCs (FWUSGs) and Group of FWUCs (FWUGs); (ii) FWUC

statute; and (iii) training of FWUCs on their responsibilities and how to develop a five-year work plan and record the land areas of target farmers. The Draft Tripartite Agreement for the TK irrigation system has been submitted to PMU and ADB for review and approval.

6. New goods contracts packages have been approved via the approved Updated Procurement Plan. These are: (i) Goods Contract No. PMU-ESM-01 (Equipment for Stream Flow Measurement for the Development of Rating Curve); and (ii) Goods Contract No. PMU-SOF-01 (Procurement of Licensed Accounting Software – Peachtree Accounting System Sage 50). The technical specifications for PMU-ESM-01 have been prepared for tendering. Contract No. PMU-SOF-01 has been procured, and the entire works have been fully completed.

7. An ADB Review Mission visited the project from 29 January to 5 February 2018 to review its progress and implementation. The Mission held meetings with MOWRAM, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF), PMIC, contractors, and FWUCs in Phnom Penh, TK, and PC. They also visited the ongoing works in BTB and Kampong Thom (KT) provinces. The Mission was satisfied with the overall progress and quality of works as well as the implementation of social and environmental safeguards and gender action plan (GAP). A few comments were made by the Mission for the EA to address.

8. This ninth quarterly progress report (QPR9) covers the period, January 2018 to March 2018. It provides a summary of accomplishments during the reporting period, identifies issues and concerns and recommends the actions required, and lists the activities to be carried out in the next quarter.

II.PROJECT PURPOSE

9. The project supports the government’s strategy to enhance economic growth in the project area through the rehabilitation, modernization, and climate proofing of selected existing irrigation systems in the provinces of BTB and KT. The outcome of the project is enhanced water and agriculture productivity in the project provinces. The project outputs are: (i) enhanced efficiency and climate resilience of irrigation systems; and (ii) improved management of water resources.

10. Output 1: Enhanced efficiency and climate resilience of irrigation systems consists of the rehabilitation, modernization, and climate proofing of at least three irrigation systems in the KT and BTB.

16. The advance payment to the CW07 contractor ($0.522 million), which was paid directly by ADB, is not considered an expense as it has been recouped from the progress invoices/ billings of the contractor in the amount of $0.111 million. The disbursed fund balance of $0.155 million (0.51%) remains in the project’s imprest account. These amounts are excluded: advance payment to the contractor (0.410 million), advance payment for FWUC activity ($14,400), and expenditure of completion payment for CW-06 ($15,005) which has not been replenished yet.

IV. IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS

17. The physical completion of the project is indicated as a percentage derived from the estimate of the weight contributed by each activity as a percentage of the total project, consistent with the S-curve concept. Appendix 6 shows the project activities and the assigned corresponding weights contributed by each activity towards the project as a whole. As of 31 March 2018, physical completion was estimated at 69.58%, while the time elapsed from effectiveness date was 38.91%.

18. Appendix 7 gives the status of compliance with the loan covenants. Among 28 items in the list, four had been complied with, 21 are being complied with, and the remaining three are yet to be complied with, as of 31 March 2018. Appendix 8 presents the monitoring and reporting format for the GAP, which was prepared by the Gender Specialist. Activities for mainstreaming of gender development have been conducted in subprojects since the new Gender Specialist was recruited and mobilized.

A. Output 1: Enhanced Efficiency and Climate Resilience of Irrigation Systems

19. Appendix 9 presents the accomplishments during the reporting period against the plan of CW04.

2. PC Subproject

24. Appendix 10 presents the accomplishments during the reporting period against the plans for CW-07 and CW-08

25. PC MC and headworks (MOWRAM-CW06). This package was fully completed in August 2017, and the one-year defects liability period will end in August 2018. With the approval of the final inspection report, the Taking Over Certificate was issued to the contractor on 11 September 2017.

26. PC Package 1 (MOWRAM-CW07). Distribution system, Package 1, was designed to serve 7,798 ha. It is composed of three SCs with a total length of 21.7 km and 23 TCs with lengths ranging from 300–1,000 m, for a total length of 11.7 km, and 394 structures. The civil works contract for the upgrading, modernization, and extension of SCs and TCs of the PC irrigation system (Package1-CW07) was signed with Anhui Shui’an Construction (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. and MTA Construction Co., Ltd. JV on 5 May 2017for a total amount of $5.54 million.

27. As of 31 March 2018, the reported accomplishment was 60.24% against the plan of 71.16%. The total unskilled labor complement of the distribution system comprised 68 persons, 16 (about 24%) of whom are female unskilled workers. To date, the contractor has submitted 1,452 test results for materials, as follows: (i) embankment/canal, 1,388 tests, all passed; (ii) laterite wearing course, one test, passed; (iii) concrete coarse aggregates, one test, passed; (iv) concrete fine aggregates, one test, passed; (iv) fresh and hardened concrete, 59 tests, all passed; and (v) concrete reinforcing steel bars, 2 tests, all passed.

28. PC Package 2 (MOWRAM-CW08). Distribution system, Package 2, was designed to serve 3,560 ha. It is composed of an 8.50-km SC, 16 TCs with lengths ranging from 300–1,000 m for a total length of 15.90 km, and 453 structures.

30. The Bid Evaluation Report (BER) was reviewed by the PRC and submitted to ADB CARM for review and approval.




B. Output 2: Improved Water Resource Management

31. FWUC formation and development. Due to the lack of interest of national consulting firms or nongovernment organizations (NGOs) to provide the required services, as indicated by the submission of only two expressions of interest (EOIs) after three advertisements, it was suggested by PMU that the formation and development of FWUCs be handled instead by the MOWRAM-DFWUC with support from PMU and PMIC. This proposal was approved by ADB, and the work plan has been revised, with FWUC formation expected to be completed by May, instead of June, 2018. Of the eight steps involved in the FWUC formation process, the accomplishments during the reporting period were: (i) completion of activities until Step 8.1: “Meeting to sign the finalization of FWUC” in KT Province; and (ii) completion until Step 4.2: “Election of FWUC” in BTB Province.

32. Meetings and discussions were held with the farmers, community elders, and DFWUC on their roles and responsibilities in the O&M of the TK system prior to development of the Tripartite Agreement. The Draft Tripartite Agreement for the TK irrigation system was subsequently prepared and submitted to PMU for further comments.

33. Training needs assessments (TNAs) were conducted among MOWRAM and PDWRAM staff in KT and BTB provinces. Training of Trainers (TOT) on Module 1 (UIWRMSP Project Orientation) was conducted from 24-27 January 2017, and TOT on Module 2 (FWUC Organizational Building and Management) was held from 7-10 February 2017 in KT Province, with participants from MOWRAM and the PDWRAMs of KT and BTB. The TOT aimed to enable MOWRAM and PDWRAM trainers to train the FWUCs to undertake their work in an efficient and effective manner and handle FWUC development themselves.

34. As of 31 March 2018, the DFWUC teams have organized meetings with target farmers and local authorities to discuss the election of FWUSGs and FWUGs as well as the FWUC statute. They also trained FWUCs on their responsibilities and how to develop a five- year work plan, record the land areas of target farmers, and disseminate the process of FWUC formation (see Appendix 11).

35. Design and implementation of JOROP of linked systems in KT and BTB. Hydrographic surveys of the TK and Stung Chinit reservoirs in KT Province and of the Bassac and Dauntri reservoirs in BTB were completed, and the necessary data collected and analyzed. The conceptual design, Interim Report, and Operational Model User Manual for the JOROP of TK and Stung Chinit reservoirs were also prepared and submitted to PMU.

36. O&M study. This study is based on the analysis of data collected by MOWRAM under the Cambodian Irrigation Schemes Information System (CISIS). The draft report has been submitted to PMU for review and comments. The analysis focused on the physical condition and performance of the concerned irrigation systems in 25 provinces of the country and estimated the financial requirements of the O&M of all the systems.

C. Project Management

37. Involuntary resettlement (IR). An assessment of resettlement issues was conducted for CW01, CW02, CW03, CW04, CW05, CW06, CW07, and CW08. The results of the assessment indicated that there was no significant land acquisition in CW01, CW04, CW05, CW06, CW07, and CW08. Therefore, those were categorized as Category C. However, CW02 was categorized as Category A as most of AHs did not agree to donate their land to the project after several consultations with farmers and local authorities. As a result, CWO2 was officially dropped. CW03 was re-categorized from the initial Category B to Category C after 95% of the affected households (AHs) (except six out of 124 AHs) agreed to donate their land to the project after the design was revised to minimize IR impacts.




38. Environmental safeguards. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for CW03, CW04, CW07, and CW08, as well as the checklists for monitoring EMP implementation in the PC and TK schemes, were prepared by the national Environment Specialist, and the Environmental Impact Categorization (EIC) reports were approved by PMU and ADB. The EIC report for CW05 was prepared and incorporated in the revised FS report and bidding documents, which has been approved by ADB. The initial environmental examination (IEE) report for PC and TK distribution systems has been updated and approved by PMU and ADB. The first and second six-monthly environmental monitoring reports (EMRs) had been submitted to PMU and ADB for review and approval. Field visits have been conducted regularly to train staff, monitor EMP implementation, and make recommendations to solve environmental issues. The quarterly EMR will be prepared in mid- April 2018.

39. Project performance management system (PPMS). As of 31 March 2018, the following reports have been submitted to PMU and ADB: (i) PPMS Framework and Procedures (PPMS F&P) Report; (ii) QPRs 1-8; (iii) 4 PPMS reports; and (iv) annual reports for 2016 and 2017. This report is QPR9.

40. Financial management. The financial management system has been established and is functioning well, with corresponding forms developed for various PMU transactions. The ADB and RGC imprest accounts had been set up and are available for use.

41. As of 31 March 2018, the TK-CW04 contractor has submitted seven interim payment certificates (IPCs), all paid. The contractor for PC Package 1-CW07 received 10% advance payment and has submitted two IPCs, one has been paid and the other one is being processed. The PC Package 2-CW08 contractor has submitted three IPCs, all of which have been paid. Seven replenishments of the ADB imprest account have been requested, all paid. For the RGC imprest account, six replenishments have been requested, four paid, and the two remaining ones are being processed. Disbursements and payments are proceeding well, as described in Section III above.

42. Procurement. PMIC has been assisting PMU in the preparation of bid documents and bid invitations, organization of pre-bid meetings and bid opening, preparation of BERs, including technical and price bid evaluation; contract agreement and signing; and other related activities.

43. As of 31 March 2018, six out of eight civil works contracts (CW02 was officially dropped) have been awarded (CW01, CW06, CW03, CW04, CW07, and CW08), while CW05 is being processed – the bidding documents are being reviewed by PRC.

44. Project website. Data have been updated and uploaded on the project website (www.uplands-irrigation-mowram.gov.kh). The web designer, who resigned, has been replaced.

45. Deployment of consultants. From January–March 2018, 13 consultants were mobilized (2 international and 11 national) for a total of 25.6 person-months (p-m). The cumulative consultant input to date is 356.6 p-m or 44.8% of the total contracted person-months (Appendix 12).

V. ISSUES AND ACTIONS TAKEN

A. Actions Taken on Issues Reported in QPR8, 2017

46. The suggestion for FWUC formation and capacity building to be handled by the DFWUC of MOWRAM was approved by the PRC and ADB. Since then, DFWUC has formed teams responsible for FWUC formation and development. The teams have organized




meetings with target farmers and local authorities to discuss the election of FWUSGs and FWUGs, as well as the FWUC statute, and trained FWUCs on their responsibilities and on how to develop their five-year work plan.

B. Current Issues and Actions Taken

47. In PC Package-1, CW-07, there were some issues, such as lack of personnel, machinery, and equipment, which have affected the quality of construction works and the completion date of this package. The overall situation is being observed and appropriate actions have been taken to address the issues.

48. CW-05, OKN irrigation distribution system, was delayed due to the revision of the FS report and the review of the BER by PRC. The communities along CW-04 have requested improved scheme function of the TK Korkoh subproject (see para. 21). Package 2–CW08, also requested for additional civil works, and the proposal for VO1 was been approved on 12 March 2018.

II. IMPLEMENTATION OF EMP AND MONITORINGA. Roles and Responsibilities for EMP and Monitoring Implementation

3. Environmental monitoring is being done by the Project Management and ImplementationConsultant (PMIC) and by the contractors themselves. PMIC field staff monitor theactivities regularly and submit monthly progress reports. Each contractor fills in theenvironmental checklist, which is integrated into the monthly project progress report andthen forwarded to PMIC. In addition, site inspections are conducted every 3-month usingthe same environmental checklist.

4. For this report period (Jan – Mar 2018), Environment Specialist of PMIC conducted afield visit to all sites in April 2018 as given in Table 2.

5. The main environmental monitoring tasks during site inspection were: i. Review of available reports, e.g., monthly progress reports; ii. Site verification, observation, informal interviews (if necessary), and photo

documentation of activities; iii. Consulting with local people; iv. Use of monitoring checklist contained in the EMP; and v. Modification of the checklist, if necessary.

C. EMP Implementation Progress

6. Environmental impacts and mitigation measures refer to construction impacts, which are common to these subprojects (CW03, CW04, CW07 and CW08), which require earth works, soil stabilization, dust and noise control, as well as management of the impacts from machinery operation, transport and handling of materials, and domestic needs of the workforce.

1. Water Pollution

7. Wastewater is produced from the maintenance and cleaning of mechanical equipment and vehicles, maintenance water for mixing and curing concrete, and lost water and soil during the construction period, which are discharged as pollutants. The effluent, comprised mainly of inorganic wastewater, commonly contains no poisonous and harmful substances, except suspended solids, but if discharged in an improper manner, still have the potential to affect existing water bodies. Some oil-containing wastewater can arise from machinery repair.

8. During site inspection, wastewater produced from construction activity had not been discharged to water source. Since the contractor using small mixing machine at any concrete site, sedimentation tanks were equipped to keep wastewater from cleaning equipment. Furthermore, the construction camps from worker were equipped with septic tanks to treat wastewater and 2-chamber sediment tanks to treat wastewater and process water respectively before discharge.

2. Air quality from construction equipment

9. Construction machinery on sites consume petrol and diesel, releasing gaseous sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrous oxide (NOx).

10. As site observation during site inspection, contractor maintained regularly the construction machinery and lubricants changed on schedule to reduce air quality pollution.

3. Dust

11. Construction sites and access roads will potentially produce fugitive dust from material storage areas, dump sites, concrete mixing, excavation and general site usage, especially under windy conditions. Material stockpiles and concrete mixing equipment will be equipped with dust shrouds. The operators will regularly maintain the shrouds to




ensure their effective operation. For all the construction sites and construction roads, water spraying to suppress dust and maintenance of driving surfaces will be standard site management practices. Vehicles carrying soil, sand, or other fine materials to and from the construction sites will be covered.

12. During site visit, it was observed that the contractor had at least one water truck for spraying water to suppress dust in unpaved areas and haul roads at least three times per day and more frequent during dry weather and windy days. Transporting construction material was handle by supplied while; soil transporting was carried within the project site.

4. Noise impact on sensitive receivers

13. Activities with intensive noise levels will not only have an impact on the residents but may also cause injury to construction workers operating the equipment. Although the noise impacts will be transient and temporary, the following mitigation measures are essential for construction activities to meet construction site noise limits and to protect sensitive receptors. Construction at night within 300 meters (m) of residences shall be strictly prohibited. During daytime construction, the contractor will ensure that:

i. Equipment with high noise and high vibration are not used in village or township areas and only low-noise machinery or equipment with sound insulation is employed;

ii. Sites for concrete-mixing plants and similar activities will be located at least 1 km away from sensitive areas, such as residences and schools; and

iii. Temporary anti-noise barriers will be installed to shield any schools, residences, and medical centers within 100 m of the work sites.

14. As interviewed with workers and contractor representatives, there is no construction work at night. The excavated spoil and backfill materials transported during daytime on existing roads and avoiding densely populated areas. No noisy construction works such as piling or blasting was carried out at night. Night-time construction noise was strictly controlled.

5. Demolition waste

15. Any waste from the demolition of un-repairable sluice and gate structures will be either sold to building materials recyclers or collected and transported to official landfill sites. Metal parts, including pumps and pipes, will be broken up and sold to scrap metal merchants. Any excess spoil will be made available to nearby communities for use as building pads and bunds.

16. As site observation, none of demolition waste remains at construction site. As informed by the contractor and CME, waste from the demolition of un-repairable sluice and gate structures re-used by local community. Metal parts, including pumps and pipes, had been broken up and sold to scrap metal merchants.

6. Impacts on Local Cultural Sites

17. During construction, contractors will ensure that any local cultural sites (including shrines and graves) will be kept clear of construction material and protected from dust and other disturbances. Access to these sites will not be impeded, and after construction is finished, any disturbed surroundings will be restored to pre-construction standards.

18. As site observation and conform from local people, no construction activity disturbed to the local cultural site or shrines and graves.




7. Occupational Health and safety

19. During site inspection, both workers and staff were engaged in a safe environment due to contractor arrange camps site where are located to the construction site. The toilets were also provided in main campsite and the toilet at workplace is identified and install if necessary. Personal protection equipment (PPE) also provided while site environmental health and safety plan was prepared (CW07, CW08, CW03 and CW04).
