participation in implementation of measures, and reporting (preparation of the
required monitoring reports). Given the size of the construction site, it might be
required that this specialist has an assistant (technician), mainly for carrying out
routine supervision and monitoring activities.
The contractor will have to include costs for these specialists in his proposal.
21.2.3 Internal Monitoring
21.2.3.1 Contractor's Monitoring
21.2.3.2 Equipment
The first level of monitoring has to be carried out by the contractor. This is part of the
duty of the personnel described in Section 21.4.2
For an efficient monitoring, a number of measuring devices are required, which allow to
make fast and precise measures on site at the required places and intervals. The
Environmental Consultant proposes to use modern hand-held equipment for this
purpose. A list of these devices will be developed for the final ESMP Report.
21.2.3.3 Monitoring by LEC
LEC, as the project owner, will need supervision and monitoring of its own in order to
make sure that the contractor keeps to his obligations. This will be the main duty of the
position described shortly under 21.4.1.
This monitoring will be done by checking the regular monitoring reports to be provided
by the contractor, and by carrying out regular site visits.
21.2.4 External Monitoring
21.2.4.1 Institutions
External monitoring is usually required in such projects. This can be done in two - not
necessarily mutually exclusive - ways as described below.
The Environmental Protection Agency plus other relevant agencies as maybe required
will have the following obligations:
21.2.4.2 External Experts
� Check the reports received from LEC; this latter will have to make sure that
regular monitoring reports are being delivered to EPA and or other Agencies.
� Carry out some inspections by its own (as e.g. on the type and condition of
vehicles and machines used in the construction; on waste management and waste
disposal; and on water quality.
As a part of its normal procedures, for large Category A project, the World Bank
normally uses Panels of Experts for checking on compliance with environmental and
social safeguards. Such a PoE regularly (usually twice a year) visits and inspects the
construction site and reports on its observations.
