Terms of Reference (TOR)

for the
Conduct of Feasibility Study (FS) for the
BOSIGON IRRIGATION PROJECT
I. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE
1.1 Contracting Authority
The General Appropriation Act (GAA) of 2018 has allocated the amount of Fifteen Million
Four Hundred Pesos (Php 15,400,000.00) for the conduct of feasibility studies (FS) to be
administered by the National Irrigation Administration (NIA)-Region V.
NIA-Region V shall be the Implementing Agency and Contracting Party. The proposed
project is consistent with NIA’s major programs/projects/activities (PPAs).
1.2 Relevant Country/Sector Context
The project is supportive of the thrusts of the 2017-2022 Philippine Development Plan
(PDP) under Chapter 8 (“Expanding Economic Opportunities in Agriculture, Forestry, and
Fisheries”), particularly the Government’s goal on improving food security and increasing
rural income by enhancing farm productivity. Moreover, the project’s focus on rice
production is also expected to complement the Food Staples Self-Sufficiency Program
(FSSP) of the Department of Agriculture (DA).
The project is also in line with the sector outcomes under Chapter 10 of the PDP
(“Accelerating Infrastructure Development”) by enhancing the performance of the
irrigation sector and enabling development in the energy sector.
1.3 Current State of the Irrigation
Agriculture is one of the major sectors of the economy, which provides job to the labor
force and contributes to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). One of the primary objectives
of the Government is to increase the self-sufficiency rate in rice. Attaining a higher self-
sufficiency rate means increasing rice production. Therefore, the generation of new
irrigated areas will help increase rice production, which, in turn, will increase self-
sufficiency rate in rice.
2. OBJECTIVE AND EXPECTED OUTPUTS
2.1 Overall Objective of the Study
The objective of the proposal under this TOR is to conduct the FS of the BOSIGON IP. The
FS is a new undertaking. It shall cover the technical, economic and financial aspects of the
proposed irrigation and multipurpose project, including environmental study,
vulnerability assessment, preparation of sustainable plans, and analysis of alternative
financing schemes, among others.
TOR: Feasibility Study for the proposed BOSIGON IP 1 of 39 | P a g e

Additionally, the FS shall ensure that the value engineering/value analysis (VE/VA) 1 is
undertaken with regard to the selection of the best possible implementation/project
options/configurations/technology for the project (may include new available
technology which can be used to deliver the project component/s of the project), to
ensure that the best scheme for providing the project’s intended output will be selected,
which would yield the highest value-for-money (VfM), as articulated in the Scope of
Works under Section 3 below.
It is noted that the development/construction of the hydropower component of the

project may be suitable for Public-Private Partnership (PPP). If found viable under this
TOR for private sector participation, the feasibility of undertaking a specific PPP modality
to implement the hydropower component, including the preparation of the PPP
transaction, shall be undertaken under a separate study, given that the FS Fund
administered by NIA only covers non-PPP projects. However, the technical, environmental,
social, market, demand, and other aspects of the hydropower component shall already form
part of this TOR, e.g., a business case study.
2.2 Expected Output of the Study
By the end of the contract period under this TOR, the Consulting Firm is expected to
produce a complete and acceptable FS based on updated information, with a definite
implementation plan of the recommended scheme based on the
alternatives/configurations/technologies considered, among others, including the
preliminary engineering designs and the most appropriate financing scheme.
3. SCOPE OF THE WORK
3.1 General Scope of Works
The scope of work of the Consulting Firm under this TOR shall include, but not necessarily
be limited to, the following:
3.1.1 Undertake assessment of existing situation in the basin including the following,
among others:
a. Assessment of the socio-economic conditions, and performance of the

agriculture sector in the concerned municipality of Labo, Camarines Sur over
the past 10 years with focus on the past five (5) years. Include in the
assessment: sources of income and employment, production patterns and
trends, access to markets, crop production and demand, and equity.
b. Identification of problems, and known causes and effects on agriculture

performance, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to the
development of the municipality. Causes of problems may include, among
others, policy issues (e.g., incentive structures), institutional (e.g. structures
and capacity), health and governance issues, and investment issues (e.g. low or
poor quality) that affect agriculture production and productivity. Identify key
performance indicators and trends such as incomes, productivity, and other
social indicators.
1For reference, the Value Analysis Handbook for NEDA (2009) may be downloaded from:
http://www.neda.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Value-Analysis-Handbook.pdf

3.1.2 Undertake necessary feasibility level studies, institutional analysis,
environmental and social assessment (ESA), resettlement considerations, design
and monitoring framework, VE/VA study, vulnerability assessment,
identification and assessment of borrow/quarry areas, and necessary
preliminary engineering designs, in conjunction with beneficiaries and other
stakeholders to establish the viability of investment in the following aspects:
economic, financial, technical, etc.
The ESA, consistent with the requirement of the proponent, should be

substantiated in the FS to cover the environmental and social setting of the
proposed project which includes affected people including Indigenous People.
In terms of resettlement, a Land Acquisition Resettlement Framework (LARF)
shall be formulated in preparation of the detailed resettlement plan. On the IP
concern, the consultant should clearly identify the profile of the IP community
delineating their territorial and documenting their customary rights and
decision-making process for the preparation of an Indigenous People
Development Plan (IPDP). For the watershed, include characterization to
established baseline condition of the watershed (flora, fauna, land use, etc.) and
identify existing management plans and programs to ensure sustainability of
irrigation water supply and identify involvement of the proponent in the
watershed management.
The FS shall look at alternative options, including the associated costs, benefits
and risks involved, in delivering the project or components of the project (may
include new available technology which can be used to deliver the project or
component/s of the project), and selecting the best possible
implementation/project options/configurations/technology involved, for the:
(i) entire irrigation and hydropower system (for example, either high dam,
series of cascading small dams, combination of high dam and small cascading
dams, high dam with penstock for implementation of the hydropower generation
component at a later date as a separate project, or small water impounding
reservoirs within the service area, among others), either as an integrated system,
or considering the irrigation system separately ( in case the hydropower
component is not found feasible); and (ii) individual components of the
irrigation system or of the integrated irrigation and multipurpose system. This
would ensure that the best scheme for providing the project’s intended outputs
will be selected, which would yield the highest VfM, e.g. lowest lifecycle/whole-
of-life costs, taking into account all alternative ways of delivering the desired
outputs and enhancing the primary outputs by considering other incidental
benefits (e.g. provision of water supply source and flood management in the
overall scheme). The Consulting Firm shall select the best alternative and/or
project components that would most appropriately respond to the project
objectives and output, and yield the highest VfM, such as in terms of lowest
cycle/whole-of-life costs.
The VE/VA study shall also include and indicative analysis of alternative
financing schemes, e.g., whether full National Government (NG) funding, Official
Development Assistance (ODA), or PPP, including an analysis of financing risk.
The analysis of alternative financing schemes shall consider various

implementation options, e.g., irrigation component implemented separately
from the hydropower component (if hydropower is not found viable to
implement), integrated irrigation and power generation component (if

feasible), irrigation component with penstock implemented first and
hydropower component to be implemented as a separate project, etc.
3.1.3 Prepare feasibility level outputs documenting the viability of the project works,
including the hydropower component with cost of transmission and
distribution lines including right-of-way (ROW), while adequately addressing
hazards and risks, environmental issues, and resettlement issues, outlining in
detail the implementation arrangements. The technical, environmental,
institutional, social, market, demand, and other aspects of the hydro
component (e.g., business case study) shall also be included.
Further, the existing institutional arrangements regarding the development,

construction, operation, and management of the hydro component shall be
investigated by the Consulting Firm, including the institutional linkages
between NIA and other relevant agencies on development and implementation
of the hydropower component.
3.1.4. During the contract period, conduct of coordination meeting with NIA, Local
Government Units (LGUs), Irrigators Associations (IAs) and other stakeholders
to: (a) discuss the progress of the work and preliminary output; (b) give the
Government the opportunity to make comments and suggestions on a timely
basis; and (c) resolve problems and issues that may be encountered. The
Government may assign counterpart personnel to the study for purposes of
transfer of technology and capacity building. The Consultant shall provide for
the required office space for the Government counterparts.

a) Boring shall be made by advancing a pipe casing having a nominal diameter not less
than 3-1/2 inches into the soil.
b) Borings shall be performed by rotary drilling method.
c) After drilling, washing and circulation of water had come to a complete halt, a
standard penetration test, as described hereunder, shall be undertaken to secure
sample of the materials at the bottom of the hole.
2.4.2 Sampling and Penetration Test
a) General – A setting shall be described as the taking of soil sample and performing
the Standard Penetration Test (SPT). The setting shall be performed for every meter
of hole depth. This applies the procedures to obtain records of the disturbed
samples of the soil for identification purposes and the resistance of sub-soils to
penetration of a standard sampler.
b) Sampling - The equipment shall be the conventional rotary of wire line drilling and
standard or hollow stem-type augers to produce a clean hole without necessary
disturbance and the penetration samplers shall be of the Standard split-spoon type
of the resistance penetration type with a two (2) inch outside diameter and a 1-3/8
inch inside diameter. The sampler shall be clean and lightly coated with oil at the
beginning of each test. The outer wall, inner or liner and cutting bit shall be
smoother and free from shears made by tools and rocks.
In order to be sure that the bottom of the hole is not disturbed by circulation water,
an initial 15 cm. driving of the split spoon sampler shall be performed prior to the
normal sampling procedure. Immediately after sampling, a representative portion
of the soil core from both sides of the drive shall be placed in an airtight container
and properly labeled.
c) Penetration Testing: The penetration resistance of the subsoil shall be expressed as

the number of blows of a one hundred and forty (140) pounds hammer freely
dropping thirty (30) inches to force the sampler thirty (30) cm into the soil. In case
of fifty (50) or more blows per 30 cm, the penetration test shall be stopped and
coring shall proceed. If 30 cm depth has not been penetrated in fifty (50) blows, the
penetration resistance shall be recorded as 50/d (where d is the actual depth
penetrated measured to the nearest half of a cm in 50 blows).

2.4.3 Core Drilling in Hard Strata
a) Each hole shall be drilled with standard diamond core drilling equipment using
suitable sized diamond core bits acceptable to the NIA’s representative at the
jobsite. Where unusual difficulties are encountered, smaller cores maybe used with
the permission in writing from the NIA. NX size diamond drilling shall be carried
out to depth indicated by the Consulting Firm, unless otherwise revised by the
Consulting Firm’s geologist. At the option of the Consulting Firm, holes may be
drilled larger than NX size at no additional expense to NIA.
b) Core drilling will be performed with clear water unless specifically authorized in
writing by the NIA’s duly authorized representative.
c) Water table measurements shall be made in each borehole at the start of each eight
(8) hours shift of drilling operation for each day.
d) The core drilling operations shall be carried out with utmost care to obtain a 100 %
core recovery. Core recoveries below 80% shall be acceptable only upon written
certification by the Consulting Firm’s geologist and actual inspection of NIA
geologists to certify that the rock formation encountered could only produce that
much core recovery in spite of adapting the recommended drilling procedures.
e) The Consulting Firm may, for his own convenience, utilize other type of equipment
to be used at each individual drill hole, provided that in the opinion of the NIA’s duly
authorized representative at the jobsite the equipment chosen is suitable for the
specified depth and final diameter of the hole. The Consulting Firm may also choose
the initial and intermediate diameters of each hole for his own convenience,
provided that it will be able to produce the minimum acceptable core size (NQ) and
hole diameter at the anticipated depth of the borehole.
f) The maximum length of any core run shall be of 3.0 m but this maximum shall be
reduced in any of the following circumstances:
i. If over the previous 3.0 m of core run the average core recovery has been
less than 90 percent (90%) allowing for core left in the hole.
ii. If other methods of sampling or in-situ testing are required at less than 3.0
m intervals.
Notwithstanding the above, the core barrel shall be removed from the drill hole as
often as necessary in order to obtain the best possible core recovery. When core
recovery is less than 90% in any core run, the next two core runs shall be reduced
in length to a maximum of 1.0 m.

g) The following drilling procedures shall be adapted when weak formations are
encountered.
i. Drilling shall be stopped immediately;

ii. Water supply shall be interrupted;
iii. Core barrel shall be pulled up in order to avoid any loss of the core;
iv. Subsequent core run shall be reduced and performed applying only
a small thrust on the core barrel.
v. The core run shall not exceed 1.0 m.
Payment for drilling shall be made only if the above-mentioned procedures are
followed.
2.4.4 Core Sample Box

The sample obtained shall be placed in covered PVC core boxes with standard
measurements of 1.00 m x 0.50 m with dividers for the lateral separation of the core
samples. Each core sample box shall be properly marked/labeled indicating the name of
the project, core box number, borehole number and location and extent of drilling.
Furthermore, each core box must be provided with wood spacers of about 5 cm long
whereby each depth advance, length of run, length of core and percentage of recovery
shall be reflected.
2.4.5 Permeability Test in Boreholes
a) Water Pressure Testing
Prior to water pressure test, the packer assembly together with the packer pipe shall be
calibrated at the ground surface preferably near the river bank. Procedure for packer
calibration is similar to the guidelines of water pressure testing using a single or double
packer assembly except that the testing or calibration is undertaken at the ground
surface.
b) Washing
Immediately before the pressure testing of each stage of any hole begins, and at such time
as directed, the hole shall be thoroughly washed if possible under pressure. All
intersected rock seams and crevices containing clay and other washable materials shall
be washed out as directed by introducing water into the holes. The holes shall be washed
at such time until the return water is clear and fracture filling is no longer recovered.
Before the start of the water pressure testing of the hole, the hole shall be thoroughly
washed for at least 10 minutes or as directed.

c) Time of Testing
Pressure testing shall be done immediately after completion of drilling the full depth of a hole by
using the double packer assembly or in stages as the hole is drilled using the single packer
assembly. When badly fractured or other unstable rock is encountered or when the continuation
of drilling will alter the structural condition of the rock, each completed section of the hole in
which tests are to be performed shall be pressure tested before drilling is continued.
d) Section to be tested
All holes drilled at dam site or other sites as directed by the Consulting Firm’s geologist shall be
pressure tested at every 5.0 m length or 3.0 m interval in fractured/jointed rock formation.
e) Testing Procedure
All testing shall be done under the supervision of the Consulting Firm’s duly authorized
representative at the jobsite. The static water level shall be determined before the start of the
test. Water level shall be measured inside the packer pipe after the packer has been set.
The specified pressure P3 in psi shall be based at the midpoint of the test section. The specified
pressure P3 is indicated in Table 1.
For inclined holes, P3 is determined using the vertical depth.
Table 1. Specified Ratio of Pressure and Time for Each Step of Pressure Test
Step No. Pressure (P) Elapsed Time (min)

1 P1 – 1/3 P3 5
2 P2 – 2/3 P3 5
3 P3 10
4 P4- 2/3 P3 5
5 P5 – 1/2P3 5
To start the test, the packer or packers are seated and the depth recorded. Hole and equipment
must be filled with water and begin pumping until pressure P1 is indicated on the pressure gauge.
Read the flow meter and start stopwatch for the first 5 segments. At the end of 5 minutes, increase
pressure to P2 and read the flow meter. This is continued until all five increments are completed.

50 deeper 50 100 150
The specified depth shall be the depth at the midpoint of the section tested.
If in any step, the specified pressure cannot be attained, run the pump at full speed and record
the highest steady pressure established and proceed with the test.
Between steps, the pressure shall not be allowed to fall below the specified for the next step or
the step just completed.
2.5 Recording Field Data
All data shall be recorded on standard data sheets. Any observation of measurement of doubtful
accuracy shall be noted with a description of the questionable condition. If mechanical
breakdown occurs during testing, a repeat test shall be carried out.
Geologic cross sections at the dam site (dam axis & appurtenant structures) shall be at scale 1:500
and shall include all information collected during fieldwork. The boreholes and test pits carried
out near or along cross sections trace will be also displayed in the cross section together with
lithology, permeability (Lugeon) and rock quality designation (RQD), weathering degree (Wn) and
joint number (Jn) and hardness number (Hn).

recommendations to ensure the safety of the structure to be built. The analysis shall also

indicate the lowest and highest seepage velocity depending on different conditions. Flownets
used in the analysis should also be illustrated on the report.
3.0 TEST PITTING FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
Test pit shall be dug manually using convenient hand tools. Minimum size of pit is 1.2 m by 1.2
m. Depth is 3.0 m but may vary depending on field conditions as certified by the NIA’s duly
authorized representative at the jobsite. Materials from the pits shall be removed by buckets
operated from a hoist, especially when depth is greater than 2.0 m. During excavation, the bottom
of the hole should be kept fairly leveled and of full size so that each lift may represent the
corresponding portion of the deposit in quantity and quality. At the surface the excavated
material should be placed in an orderly manner around the pit, and marked stakes should be
driven to indicate depth of the pit from which the material came in order to facilitate logging and
sampling. To avoid collapse of the pit walls, wooden cribs shall be installed when necessary.
3.1 Disturbed Sampling
Before the start of actual sampling, the area of the side of the wall of the test pit shall be trimmed
off to remove all weathered or mixed soil. The sample shall then be obtained by trenching the
trimmed surface with a cut of uniform cross section and collecting the soil on a canvass spread at
the bottom of the test pit.
Quantity of sample shall be placed in a plastic bag shall not be less than 10 kg for each strata for
the Physical property test (Gradation test, Atterberg Limit, Specific Gravity test & Soil
classification), 0.5 kg shall be placed in an airtight container for the natural Moisture Content
determination and 50 kg of composite samples shall be placed in rice bags for the determination
of the Mechanical property (Compaction, Consolidation, Permeability & Tri-axial tests – CU&UU).
All soil samples shall be properly labeled as to project name, test pit number, sample no., depth
and date samples were taken. Soil sampling shall be done only in the presence of the NIA
representative at the jobsite. Laboratory tests shall be according to standard test methods
(ASTM).
