Roads and Bridges. Cape Verde’s road network consists of 1,350 km spread among the nine inhabited islands. While progress has been made in expanding road network coverage, lack of investment has left the basic network incomplete and lack of proper maintenance has lead to deterioration of sections of the network. Based on the Strategic Programme and a Consultation Meeting with Development Partners in Praia April 2003, several donors, notably the World Bank, Portugal and the European Union (“EU”), are financing selected priority investments, with the World Bank playing a leading role in supporting institutional reforms in road sector management and maintenance (the “World Bank Road Sector Support Project”). Within this context, the Government identified eleven high priority road improvements on five islands aimed at: (i) filling a gap in an incomplete island network through road upgrading on an existing earth track or the construction of small bridges; and (ii) rehabilitating key links that are in a deteriorated state. The World Bank Road Sector Support Project will partially fund these projects. The World Bank’s sector management efforts will complement these improvements by addressing institutional reform and capacity building to ensure sustainable maintenance and delivery of road transport services. The Government has identified the re-design and development of the Port and the upgrading of roads and bridges as critical steps in Cape Verde’s development that is fully consistent with the infrastructure development pillar of the GPRSP.
Roads and Bridges. This Project Activity is designed to achieve basic connectivity and improve mobility on two targeted island networks by: (i) closing network gaps and/or (ii) ensuring all-weather and reliable access both to intra-island markets and services, as well as transportation linkages on the targeted islands. The M&E Plan (described in Annex III) will set forth anticipated results and, where appropriate, regular benchmarks that may be used to monitor implementation progress. Performance against these benchmarks and the overall impact of the Infrastructure Project will be assessed and reported at the intervals to be specified in the M&E Plan or as otherwise agreed by the Parties from time to time. The Parties expect that additional benchmarks will be identified during the implementation of the Infrastructure Project. The expected results from, and the key benchmarks to measure progress on, the Project, Project Activities and sub-activities undertaken or funded under this Project are set forth in Annex III. Estimated amounts of MCC Funding for each Project Activity within the Infrastructure Project are identified in Annex II of this Compact. Conditions precedent to the Infrastructure Project and each Project Activity and sequencing of the Infrastructure Project Activities shall be set forth in the Disbursement Agreement or other relevant Supplemental Agreements. The following summarizes the Infrastructure Project Activities:
Roads and Bridges. (a) Provision of civil works, equipment, materials, and utility vehicles for reconstruction and repair of roads and bridges identified in the Reconstruction Proposals and construction of temporary roads and bridges necessary to maintain traffic flows during reconstruction; and
Roads and Bridges. Company shall, prior to the use of any Xxxxxx County or Township maintained roads, streets, shoulders, or bridges (“Road(s)”) related to the Project, consult with the Xxxxxx County Director of Public Works (“Director of Public Works”) for load paths and restrictions on the respective Roads. At Company’s expense, it shall provide the Director of Public Works with video along with structural and geometric dimensions documenting the condition of all Xxxxxx County or Township maintained Roads to be used by Company during the construction or operations of the Project prior to beginning construction of the Project.
Roads and Bridges. Cost savings were estimated for time costs and vehicle operating cost, with traffic data sourced from the Urban Development Department and the benefit monitoring evaluation report (footnote 18). The estimated unit values for the above have been discounted and adopted for analysis purpose. The economic benefit of reduction in maintenance cost, which was used at the time of appraisal, has not been used for this analysis due to the absence of quantified data, both at appraisal stage and at present.
