commonly constructed by the farmers themselves and the
Project will only assist in helping them determine good
locations and will provide concrete rings to prevent caveins
of the wells.
The engineeiing cost estimates for design of
the universe of projects now proposed are considered
adequate to assure that necessary engineering will be
applied Lo each and every project, (See Annex IX for cost
estimates and supplemental Annex V-J for derivations). The
provision of serv±ces also assure that adequate supervision
will be provided to insure that the construction is of the
quality specified,
Local contractors are available in the
Nottheast to accomplish the construction work. They are
capable of quality work as long as provision is made for
competent engineering quality controi. This, as noted
above, is built inLo the Project pLans, The cost of construction
of "average" water impoundment is included in
Annex V-J and this provides a reascnabie basis for the cost
estimates for ths rc )ect Data Lncludes construction
costs of the Fish Ponds I Pro3ect; an on-going USAID/Thailand
Project. Data also includes cost experience drawn from
various construction agencies of the RTG including the
recent experience of DLD in the Northeast. Costs for wells
and watei filter systems are detailed in Annex V-J.
The above procedures ana estimates are
considered adequate to satisfy FAA Section 611 requirements
on this type of development project. ConstLuction plans and
specifications will be available as decisions are made as
where each of the impoundments are to be constructed, and as
the site--by-site studies are carried out during the life of
the Project. (Supplementary Annex V-J provides additional
detail on engineering feasio.rLity concerns,.
