LOT 1: ROAD IMPROVEMENT ON THE WEST CORRIDOR WITH SIGNALIZATION ON SELECTED INTERSECTIONS

1. The overall objective for this service is to review progress made with respect to the agreed components of the IRUMP, provide an in-depth assessment of the project management and implementation activities, and determine to what extent the Project Development Objectives (PDOs) and the objectives of each of the components are likely to be achieved by the end of the project.  The review will also look at the appropriateness of and structure of the existing components and to what extent (if any) they should be adjusted to aid in meeting the PDOs. The review will form the basis for an analysis of the continued relevance of the PDOs and implementation effectiveness after 50% of implementation period. In doing so, the consultant is expected to review each of the IRUMP activities, in the following areas:
   1. Financial and procurement aspects, for each/all IRUMP activities, 
   2. Engineering aspects, quality and appropriateness of design, scope, works quality, time, and costs of each/all IRUMP activities;
