Examine existing prefeasibility and feasibility studies and other data when available (The documentation available at CERE’s Library or data room is provided in Annex 1). Review the investments as previously proposed and revise the proposed configuration to reflect one that would be competitive, given the current electricity market and tariff structures. Conduct preliminary site investigations including hydrological, topographical, geological and geotechnical studies. Develop preliminary layouts of hydraulic structures, electro-mechanical and electrical equipment and do selection of the main project characteristics such as installed capacity, energy production, capacity factor, etc. Develop preliminary cost estimates based on major quantities and cost items. Identify potential socio and environmental impacts, and proposed solutions. Carry out/update the project economic and financial analysis at pre-feasibility level. Highlight the main risks facing the project, and possible mitigation measures. This information will be included in the Consultant’s pre-feasibility report for each site to be reviewed by PCJ, MEM and the World Bank. 3.4 PHASE II: SCOPE OF THE CONSULTING ASSIGNMENT Following PCJ’s instruction to proceed with the feasibility study, the Consultant shall carry out the following Phase II activities: Continue site investigation works on the sites including major geotechnical investigations. Define all key structures and equipment in sufficient detail to obtain quantities for all items contributing more than about 10% of the cost of structures and equipment. Provide a detailed initial cost estimate for: (i) the initial capital costs including access roads, transmission interconnection(s) to the grid; (ii) the implementation of the environmental and social management plans; and for (iii) the operations and maintenance of the proposed facilities. 14
Provide the base case estimate of the annual project output (firm and average capacity and energy) over the project life/duration of the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) , and higher and lower bounds. Estimate the reduction of greenhouse gas reduction estimate throughout the life of the project Carry-out an-environmental and social impact assessment and a mitigation plans in compliance with the ESEE Project Environmental Management Framework and the Involuntary Resettlement Policy Framework, survey community interest groups regarding their use of water use practices. Carry out a project economic analysis (Jamaica’s perspective) and a financial analysis (project owners’ perspective) including capital, operating and maintenance costs and revenue streams required for cost recovery and return, and financing plans. The analysis shall consider private sector arrangements for the construction and/or operation of the hydropower scheme through concessions under Design, Build, Operate and Own (DBOO). The Consultant shall recommend a capital structure required to finance and implement the new hydro facility. Local and overseas partnerships shall be considered. Determine the best organizational and institutional arrangements for hydropower management and ownership over the concession period. .Provide knowledge transfer to PCJ and MEM Staff and tertiary students from the University of the West Indies and the University of Technology as it relates to basic small hydro power design, environmental considerations and basic financial analyses. 3.5 PHASE I KEY ACTIVITIES The following paragraphs highlight key activities and products expected from the Consultant. It is however the responsibility of the consultant to define and carry out all activities necessary to ensure quality and timely delivery of the studies. Task 1 - A hydrological report shall be prepared based on previous hydrological analyses and additional data relevant to the site shall be collected from the relevant government agencies. Historical flow data obtained from previous studies 15
