BACKGROUND:

Since the twin cities are hub of economic, political, and educational activities, significant commuting takes place between the twin cities and adjoining areas.

The available public transport is dominated by the private sector, contributing to about 35 per-cent of the share of overall modes of transportation. This share is now declining due to poor service and widespread customer dissatisfaction with the available options. The people travelling by public transport are passing through double agony because despite getting high fares, the transporters do not finish their routes, thus making the commuters pay extra fare for reaching their destinations by changing two vehicles from Saddar to Pak Secretariat. Moreover, during peak hours, vehicles are overloaded.

Therefore, the existing public transport system requires a major uplift in level of service and quality. In order to tackle this problem and provide improved quality of public transport, Government of Punjab, Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) decided to construct the Metro Bus System (MBS) in Islamabad.

Brief about the company: Rawalpindi Islamabad Metro Bus project has been divided into two parts i-e Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Further the Rawalpindi part has been divided into three packages. Each package has been assigned to three different companies. Package I (Flash man hotel to committee chowk) has been awarded to Zahir Khan & Brothers pvt ltd. Zahir khan & Brothers As a preeminent infrastructure company established over four decades ago, Zahir khan & Brothers has, over the years, strongly anchored itself to Pakistan’s

Development efforts. At the time of its conception the company operated solely within Baluchistan region, but with the passage of time they have expanded the scope of their operations throughout the country. Today it is acknowledged as a company that continues to empower Pakistan, enabling the nation to surge ahead in different core sectors. At the heart of all development efforts is the attempt to touch and improve the quality of lif



To help save the travelling time by reduction in traffic congestion;



To reduce the fuel consumption by reducing the demand of private vehicle etc;



To reduce the, noise and air pollution resulting from vehicular exhaust; and



To provide an opportunity to laborers and skilled/unskilled staff to work in the project area

Feasibility Methodology: The methodology adopted to conduct this study was as follows: 

Meetings and discussions were held among the members of the EIA consulting team, design engineers and proponent. This activity was aimed at achieving a common ground of understanding of various issues of the study.



Planning was carried out to assess data requirements and their sources; time schedules and responsibilities for their collection; logistics and facilitation needs for the execution of the data acquisition plan.



Primary and secondary data were gathered through observations during the field survey, environmental monitoring in the field, concerned departments and published materials to establish baseline profile for physical, biological and socio-economic environmental conditions.



The impacts of the project on the physical, biological and socio-economic environment prevalent in the project area were visualized at the design, construction and operational phases.



The adequate mitigation measures and implementation mechanisms were proposed so that the proponent could incorporate them beforehand in the design phase.

PROJECT FEASIBILITY REPORT

Background:

The people of Twin cities travelling by public transport are passing through double agony because despite getting high fares, the transporters do not finish their routes, thus making the commuters pay extra fare for reaching their destinations by changing two vehicles from Saddar to Pak Secretariat. Moreover, during peak hours, vehicles are overloaded.

Therefore, the existing public transport system requires a major uplift in level of service and quality. In order to tackle this problem and provide improved quality of public transport, Government of Punjab, Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) decided to construct the Metro Bus System (MBS) in Islamabad. The total length of the route from Saddar to Pak Secretariat will be approximately 23 KM. The route will consist of 24 Bus Stations, TEN bus stations will be established in Rawalpindi and Fourteen in Islamabad. An 8.6 KM elevated track, consisting of 10 bus stops, would be constructed from Flashman’s Chowk in Saddar to Faizabad. From Faizabad it turns towards Islamabad using IJP Road and

enters Jinnah Avenue via 9th Avenue and continues towards P ak Secretariat.

Market Viability: Since the twin cities are hub of economic, political, and educational activities, significant commuting takes place between the twin cities and adjoining areas. The need of such quality transport system is necessity.

Target Market; The target audience for this project is the general population of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, travelling daily between the twin cities.

Competitive Advantage Metro bus service is one unique of its kind; it will provide quality and environmental friendly transport facility to the public. 

Will provide transport safety, transport productivity, travel reliability, travel choices, and social equity;



Will reduce the traffic conflicts/accidents due to reduction in number of vehicles on road;



Will help save the travelling time by reduction in traffic congestion;

20



Will reduce the fuel consumption by reducing the demand of private vehicle etc;

Environment and climate feasibility The physical environment includes topography, geology and soils, climate, hydrology and drainage, land use, surface water and quality, groundwater and quality, ambient air quality, noise levels, floods and seismicity. The climate of the project area is hot in summer and moderate in winter. The coldest month is December and the hottest is June. Flood discharges have also been reported at various locations along the Nullah Lai. According to the Seismic Zoning Map (prepared by Pakistan Meteorological Department), the proposed Project falls in Zone 2 B (Moderate), where 2B represents peak horizontal ground acceleration from 0.16 to 0.24 g.

Positive and Negative Impacts of Project: The proposed project will have both positive and negative impacts during the construction and operational phases, for which proper mitigation measures are necessary. During the field survey, significant efforts were made to identify the main social, cultural and environmental issues related to the project.

SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT PLAN

Introduction

Purpose of the Schedule Management Plan The Schedule Management Plan has the following purposes:

To present the schedule of the project; • To identify factors that will tend to delay the schedule; and • To describe procedures that will be used to deal with schedule slippages.

Project Schedule The detailed project schedule is provided in A ppendix A.

Potential Causes of Schedule Slippage Following is a list of the factors t hat could lead to a slippage in the schedule. • Project activities require more effort than planned; • Project staff requires more training or experience to meet the estimates; • Additional activities beyond those planned are required; • Specific technical skills were assumed in the plan that is not available; • Customer decision are not made in a timely manner; or • The review and approval of deliverables takes longer than planned.

27

Project Control Procedures Identification of Schedule Problems • Weekly review of activity status and estimates to complete work packages. Each current activity will

be reviewed and an estimate to complete (ETC) it will be made. The estimate to complete will be added to the effort already spent. A potential slippage occurs when that total (EAC) exceeds t he original estimate. • Weekly (or other) review of unplanned requirements such as equipment, staff, or consulting

resources. The adequacy of current resources, human and equipment will be reviewed. A potential schedule slippage occurs when the need for additional resources is identified. • Weekly (or other) review of customer activities and performance. The response of the customer team

will be reviewed, particularly for current activities. A potential slippage occurs when there are delays in responsiveness or customer decisions. • Weekly (or other) review of risks and changes to risks. The current status of risks will be reviewed as

described in the Risk Management Plan. • Weekly (or other) review of changes to scope, approved or otherwise The curr ent status of scope

compliance will be reviewed as described in the Scope Management Plan. A potential slippage occurs when unapproved scope changes are being carried out.
