Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Background
The current Ministry of Water Resources of the Government of the People's Republic of
Bangladesh is responsible for the overall development and management of the country's
water resources. According to the Ministry's 8/90 (Part-1) / 618, dated 14-09-1994 AD, the
name was changed as the Ministry of Water Resources instead of the Ministry of Irrigation,
Water Development and Flood Control. However, this ministry prepares all kinds of policies,
plans, strategies, guidelines, laws, rules and regulations for the management activities which
generally control and govern all the offices under its jurisdiction. Besides that, the Ministry
has created barrages, regulators, sluice, canals, embankments, rubber dams, flood control
dams, coastal dam and canals by preparing and implementing different development projects
related to flood control, irrigation and drainage, de-island development, excavation, and re-
excavation, water logging, river erosion prevention, land recovery etc.
After recurrence devastating flood of 1954 and 1955, Crug Mission was formed in 1957
under United Nations (UN) to boost up food productivity by minimizing flood damage and
water resources development & management in this region. As per mission‟s
recommendations, Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) started its operation in
1959 as the water wing of the erstwhile „East Pakistan Water and Power Development
Authority‟. As the principal agency of the government for managing water resources of the
country, it was given the responsibility of accomplishing the tasks of executing flood control,
drainage and irrigation projects to increase productivity in agriculture and fisheries. After the
independence of Bangladesh, the authority was restructured in 1972 into two different
organizations to deal with water and power separately. BWDB was created under the
Bangladesh Water and Power Development Boards Order 1972 (P.O. No. 59 of 1972) as a
fully autonomous organization. The reform program and structural adjustment process were
undertaken by the GoB for transformation of BWDB is the enactment of the BWDB Act,
2000 that requires the BWDB's functions be guided by the National Water Policy (NWPo)-
1999 and National Water Management Plan (NWMP)-2004. Policy making and overseeing
Page | 1 Inception Report

Establishments
the overall management of BWDB is now vested on the Governing Council (GC) with
thirteen Members headed by the Minister.
The vision of the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) is to achieve proper
management and sustainable development of water resources of the country; to achieve
sustainable development in the fields of agriculture, fisheries, forests, etc. by addressing the
adverse effects of floods, droughts, waterlogging, international river flow, salinity, climate
change and proper management of the natural environment; to increase the knowledge and
capacity of the people of the country by ensuring financial capacity, social justice, gender
fairness and environmental awareness so that they can plan and manage water resources for
their own efficient use through mass participation of the people.
Proper management and development of the country's water resources in accordance with the
National Water Policy, National Water Master Plan, Participatory Water Management
Guidelines and Bapaubo Act. The mission of the Bangladesh Water Development Board
(BWDB) is
 to ensure the participation and improvement of living standards of people from all
walks of life, classes and professions;
 establish good governance in project management through transparency,
accountability and full implementation of the law;
 to provide effective and efficient services to all classes and professions, especially the
poor;
 poverty reduction;
 provide food security;
 maintaining the balance of the natural environment;
 follow environmentally friendly sustainable development strategies.
Bangladesh Water Development Board has made inhabitant quarter for Officers and
Employees. Most of the buildings were built between 1965 and 1975. Not only the quarters
but also office buildings and other infrastructures are built between 60s to 70s. Durability of
those buildings has decreased due to its old age. Use of those building is becoming more
riskyous day by day. Again, current condition and facilities of staff quarters are very poor.

Establishments
Living cost in those buildings are high according to its current condition and facilities. That
is why staffs are motivated to live in others rental house whereas it is there right to live in
there defined area. In this circumstance, the authority of Bangladesh Water Development
Board has made a decission to solve this problem. On that reason, a project has been
initiated namely “Construction of Necessary Residential, Administrative and Other Physical
Infrastructure at BWDB Establishments” to provide better living and working space for all
the staffs of the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB).
1.2 Objective of the Project
Major objective of “Construction of Necessary Residential, Administrative and Other

Physical Infrastructure at BWDB Establishments” project is:
 To design, construction and implementation of master plans for various types of new
infrastructures including administrative building, residential building, dormitory and
guest house in the facilities of Bangladesh Water Development Board.
1.3 Scopes of the Project
The scope of the project includes but not limited to the following:
 Conducting primary field visit at all of the sites of Bangladesh Water Development Board
(BWDB) to collect existing information.
 Creating an ideal living plan for all Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB)
officers and staffs.
 There are different grades of officers and employees in the same position & the
requirement of square feet has changed now. Therefore, according to the scale of the salary
structure of the government, it will be ensured that they get as many benefits as they
deserve.
 To plan office and residential buildings according to office and position hierarchy
 To ensure that SDE's residence will be with his office or where all kinds of facilities are
equiped with.

Establishments
 In case of aged officers, the amount of money deducted from his/her salary is so much. He
can be used to live in a much larger house locally in the same sense. So, they are not
interested in living in the govt. provided house.Thats why modern, beautiful & attractive
residence will be designed so that, they feel more comfortable living in these houses than
living outside.
 To ensure civic facilities like health facilities, community facilities etc. that will leads to
living in quarters.
 Almost every sites are below the road level which results in water accumulation during
rainy season. The BWDB cannot pump this water in its residential area properly. (e.g.,
Jatrabari, Barishal) Considering this issue, proper design for drainage system will be
provided.
 To make a proper master plan for every site possessed by the BWDB which will include all
necessary services and facilities within a sustainable environment.
 To devide the whole project into three phases for workong convenience and budget
accomodation
 When any building that will be demolished belongs to the residents of the building will be
properly accomodated that will be done by phasing
 Preparing a DPP to understand the cost estimation required for the project implementation.
1.4 Justification of the Project
Sustainable living security for better livelihood acknowledging the effects of climate change
is the vision of the Ministry of Bangladesh. To accomplish this vision many government
bodies, work together with Ministry. Among these organizations Bangladesh Water
Development Board is the largest one. To encourage the use of the resources on a priority
basis, Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) has given emphasis on related to
development sectors. The mission of the ministry is to fulfill the demand of quarter of the
citizen and ensure sustain prevention of living problem with the change of climate. To fulfill
these mission and vision, Bangladesh Water Development Board is working continuously. It
has made inhabitant quarter for officers and employees. Most of the buildings were built

Establishments
between 1965 and 1975 but at present time most of the officers & employees quarters have
became uninhabitable. The use of such buildings is getting more unstable day by day. Again,
there are very poor arrangements and amenities for the staffs. According to the present state
and services, housing costs in those buildings are high. That is why staffs are motivated to
live in other rental houses, while the right to live in the specified area is there. So, the
proposed project is very much needed to implement in no time.
1.5 Mission and Vision of the Ministry and BWDB
Vision of the Ministry of Water Resources is sustainable protection of staff quarter to

develop the lifestyle of the Officers & employees. The mission of the ministry is to fulfill the
demand of quarter of the citizen and ensure sustain prevention of staff quarter with the
change of climate. To fulfill these mission and vision Bangladesh Water Development Board
is working continuously hard and soul. Mainly BWDB works to control flood, water
drainage, irrigation development, to protect river erosion, protection of water resources from
the effect of climate change etc. To achieve our goals of the Delta Plan announced by the
Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh to provide the right of Officers &
Employers. The proposed project will ensure these sustainable developments of resources in
the project area after implementation. City‟s water logging will decrease after the
implementation of the project. The proposed project will also ensure civic amenities with
natural and artificial beauty.

Establishments
Chapter 2: Study Area
Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) have a large amount of own land all over 64

km from the project area. Feni Power Development Board, New Upashahar Genera Hospital,
Govt. Zia Mohila College, Mohipal Community Centre etc. are very close to the project area.
2.4 Climate Analysis of the Project Site
Climate condition is one of the major considerations for any project. Climate of an area can
affect any project in different ways. There are different climate factors that must be
considered in civil operations, building constructions and building designs. Project
implementation period, construction work and infrastructure can be affected by the climatic
factors in several ways. That is why, climatic data of a site and its analysis is very much
significant during civil construction as well as the master plan. The most significant climate
factors are as follows: weather temperature, relative humidity, cloudy condition, direction
and wind speed, rainfall and sunlight. Climatic condition of Feni is analyzed as follow to
state the feasibility of the proposed project.

Establishments
2.4.1 Temperature Condition
The hot season lasts 3.4 months, with an average daily high temperature of above 88 ° F,
from 10 March to 21 June. With an annual high of 91 ° F and a low of 75 ° F, the hottest day
of the year is April 17. The daily average high (red line) and low (blue line) temperature,
with 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands. The thin dotted lines are the
corresponding average perceived temperatures. The cool season lasts for 1.6 months, with an
average daily high temperature of below 79 °F from 10 December to 31 January. January 12,
with an average low of 52°F and a high of 76°F, is the coldest day of the year.

seasonal change in monthly precipitation. The rainy season of the year lasts for 9.9 months,
with a slipping 31-day rainfall of at least 0.5 inches, from February 10 to December 7.
During the 31 days based around July 4, the most rain fell, with an estimated cumulative
precipitation of 14.7 inches.
Figure 2.10: Rainfall condition
The year's rainless period lasts for 2.1 months, from 7 December to 10 February. With an
annual cumulative precipitation of 0.2 inches, the least rain fell around January 10. The
overall rainfall (solid line) accrued over the span of a sliding 31-day period based on the day
in question, with percentile ranges from 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th. The resulting annual
liquid-equivalent snowfall is the thin dotted line.
2.4.3 Cloud Condition
Over the course of the year the total proportion of the sky obscured by clouds in Feni faces
extreme seasonal variation. The clearer part of the year starts around 14 October in Feni and
continues for 6.9 months, finishing around 10 May. The weather is bright, mostly sunny, or
partially cloudy 88 percent of the time, and overcast or mostly gloomy 12 percent of the time
on February 17, the clearest day of the year.

Establishments
Figure 2.11: Cloud condition
Around May 10, the cloudier portion of the year begins and lasts for 5.1 months, ending
around October 14. The weather is overcast or partially gloomy 90 percent of the time on
July 29, the cloudiest day of the year and bright, mostly clear, or partly cloudy 10 percent of
the time. The amount of time spent in each cloud cover band, categorized by the percentage
of the sky obscured by clouds.
2.4.4 Day Light Condition
In Feni, the length of the day varies over the course of the year. December 21, with 10 hours,
43 minutes of daylight, is the shortest day in 2020; June 21, with 13 hours, 33 minutes of
daylight, is the longest day. The earliest sunrise is on June 8 at 5:08 AM and the latest sunrise
is 1 hour on January 16, 29 minutes later at 6:37 AM. On November 28, the earliest sunset is
at 5:08 PM, and the latest sunset is 1 hour, 36 minutes later on July 3, at 6:44 PM.

The number of hours during which the Sun is visible (black line). From bottom (most yellow)
to top (most gray), the color bands indicate: full daylight, twilight (civil, nautical, and
astronomical), and full night.
2.4.5 Humidity Condition
We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration
will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and
higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly
between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature
may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

Establishments
Figure 2.13: Humidity condition
Feni experiences extreme seasonal variation in the perceived humidity. The percentage of
time spent at various humidity comfort levels, categorized by dew point. The muggier period
of the year lasts for 9.3 months, from February 21 to November 30, during which time the
comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable at least 27% of the time. The muggiest day
of the year is July 31, with muggy conditions 100% of the time. The least muggy day of the
year is January 12, with muggy conditions 3% of the time.
2.4.6 Wind Speed & Direction
This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10
meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on
local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more
widely than hourly averages. The average hourly wind speed in Feni experiences significant
seasonal variation over the course of the year. The windier part of the year lasts for 5.2
months, from March 26 to September 1, with average wind speeds of more than 6.6 miles per
hour. The windiest day of the year is July 5, with an average hourly wind speed of 9.0 miles
per hour. The calmer time of year lasts for 6.8 months, from September 1 to March 26. The
calmest day of the year is November 24, with an average hourly wind speed of 4.2 miles per

Establishments
hour. The average of mean hourly wind speeds (dark gray line), with 25th to 75th and 10th to
90th percentile bands.

The predominant average hourly wind direction in Feni varies throughout the year. The wind
is most often from the south for 7.5 months, from February 25 to October 9, with a peak
percentage of 93% on July 5. The wind is most often from the north for 4.6 months, from
October 9 to February 25, with a peak percentage of 67% on January 1.

The percentage of hours in which the mean wind direction is from each of the four cardinal
wind directions, excluding hours in which the mean wind speed is less than 1.0 mph. The
lightly tinted areas at the boundaries are the percentage of hours spent in the implied
intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest).
2.4.7 Average Climatic Condition of the Study Area
In Feni, the wet season is hot, oppressive, and overcast and the dry season is warm, humid,
and mostly clear. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 52°F to
91°F and is rarely below 47°F or above 96°F.
Figure 2.16: Average climatic condition
Based on the beach/pool score, the best times of year to visit Feni for hot-weather activities
are from early March to mid-April and from late October to early November.
2.4.8 Earthquake Vulnerability of the Study area
Seismic Zone expression of the proneness of a region to earthquake occurrence in the

historical past including the expectations in future. A region experiencing more frequent and
large earthquakes has a higher seismicity compared to one with less frequent and small
earthquakes. Both the temporal and spatial distributions of all earthquakes, small and big,
have to be systematically accounted for by determining their past behavior to determine the
future trend. In addition to seismicity, the main input for seismic zoning maps is the ground

Establishments
motion attenuation characteristics. It is for this reason that seismic zoning should be revised
after the occurrence of violent earthquake ground motions in areas where past intensity data
are not available. In the preparation of seismic zoning map the common data which are
considered include: soil type and foundation conditions, ground structure and its dynamic
characteristics, intensity distribution during past earthquakes, ground motion attenuation
characteristics, envisaged development and location of major cities, economic status and
simplification shape.
Figure 2.17: Earthquake zonation map in Bangladesh

Establishments
Source: Geological survey of Bangladesh (GSB)
On the basis of distribution of earthquake epicenters and morphotectonic behavior of

different tectonic blocks Bangladesh has been divided into three generalized seismic zones.
The northeastern folded regions of Bangladesh are the most active zones and belong to the
zone-I. The Bask seismic coefficient of this zone is 0.08. The zone II consists of the regions
of recent uplifted Pleistocene blocks of the Barend and Madhupur and the western extension
of the folded belt and the Bask coefficient for this zone is 0.05. The southwest Bangladesh is
seismically quiet zone and represented by zone III with Bask coefficient 0.04. Ground
condition (firm or soft) has not been taken into consideration during the seismic zonation of
Bangladesh.
The study area, Feni is located in the Zone-2. The earthquake map show that zone-2 is a
moderate risk zone. So, for designing a master plan consider the earthquake vulnerability of
the area. And also consider the soil condition of the area as well as load bearing capacity of
the soil should be taken in consideration.
2.4.9 Flood Vulnerability of the Study Area

Bangladesh, owing to its position on the global map in the South-Asian region, is one of the
most vulnerable countries susceptible to climate change scenarios, especially floods. In past
decades various model studies have been conducted, predicting an alarming level of severity
of the impact of climate change on Bangladesh, raising an inevitable urge for the
development of its future climate projection technologies & techniques. Notwithstanding a
simplified forecast contingency plan, Bangladesh has received its own fair share of disastrous
natural events over time, some of which can be attributed to climate change. Especially
floods. Bangladesh is a country almost entirely situated on flat low land that is barely above
sea level. It consists mainly of regions relating to or situated on a river or riverbank.
Bangladesh‟s climate, similar to other South Asian countries, is heavily affected by
monsoons (which are seasonal prevailing winds that bring rain between May and September
and detract precipitation between October and April). As a result, precipitation cycles
seasonally, with both extremes of high and low amounts of rain. Since Bangladesh is situated
near the equator, specifically in part of the Tropic of Cancer. Floods, accompanied by storm

Establishments
surges and cyclones, periodically affect the country. Most elevations of land masses are less
than 5 meters above sea level (in the coastal south, terrain is less flat, and is characterized by
hills; as a result, more of the southern regions are exactly at sea.
Figure 2.18: Flood zonation map of Bangladesh

Establishments
Source: Water Resources Planning Organization (WARPO)
Flood-risk regions are currently linearly concentrated (to some degree) along the major rivers
of Bangladesh, of which also connect to other countries. The closer a region is to a major
river, the greater risk of a flood that region possesses (the further one moves away from
major rivers, the less of a risk of a flood that region possesses). In addition, coastal areas are
also at high risks of flooding.
The project area has faced severe tidal surge and moderate flash flooding. So, the master plan
is prepared in such a way that will cope up with the natural disaster within the project site.
2.5 Site Elevation & Contouring
Digital elevation model (DEM) is used to study the elevation of an area. DEM is used to
identify the topographic status of an area. This data is used as input to quantify the
characteristics of the land surface. A DEM is a raster representation of a continuous surface,
usually referencing the surface of the earth. To understand and analyze the nature of the
terrain, DEM is required in many fields in the improvement of developing the product and
decision making, mapping purpose, preparing 3D simulations, estimating river channel and
creating contour maps to extract the elevation and so on. The accuracy of this data is
determined primarily by the resolution (the distance between sample points).
Here in the circle office, the maximum height is 11.98 meters and the minimum height is 10
meters. The surface of the study area is plane and there are few undulations. So, the area is
feasible for providing any facilities. Undulation land is not feasible for construction. Further
site development like cut and fill is needed. This is a cost-consuming issue. So, from this
point of view, the site is more feasible for construction, planning, and design.

Establishments
Figure 2.19: DEM & Contour of Feni Circle Office, BWDB
Here in the mechanical office, the maximum height is 11.4 meters and the minimum height is
8 meters. The surface of the study area is plane and there are few undulations. So, the area is
feasible for providing any facilities. Undulation land is not feasible for construction. Further
site development like cut and fill is needed. This is a cost-consuming issue. So, from this
point of view, the site is more feasible for construction, planning, and design.

3.1 Contact with Concerned Authority
After signing of the contract agreement, the project work was initiated with the help of
Bangladesh Water Development Board. To know the needs and requirements of BWDB, the
consultant contacted with the professionals of the BWDB. Face to face communication &
contact over phone were held to know required information like number of professionals,
number & location of site etc. The consultant tries its best to reach the project goal with the
help of BWDB.
3.2 Collection of Organogram, BWDB
To fulfil both the residential & office space requirement understanding of organogram is a
must. That‟s why the organogram of each office (e.g., zonal, circle, divisional, sub-
divisional, section etc.) had been collected by going those offices. The BWDB provides
sometimes hard copy, sometimes soft copy of the organogram. The master plan has been
organized and designed according to the organogram of professionals.
3.3 Conduct Preliminary Site Visit
To know the exact requirements of both the office space and residential space a preliminary
site visit had been done. In this preliminary site visit, randomly site had been selected
especially zonal and circle office.
3.4 Collection of Primary Data and Information
To prepare as-built drawings and master plan, primary data collection is required. Necessary
information like overall existing condition, layout plan, site surroundings, and any other
relevant report or documents had been collected from the staffs of BWDB. All the
requirements and future needs had been noted from the staffs of BWDB for further analysis.

Establishments
3.5 Preparation of As-Built Drawings
As-built drawings were being prepared from the collected information of the BWDB. It
includes all the structures exact location, distance among structures and other relevant
information related to site. These as-built drawings helped to prepare phasing of construction
and master plan. The as-built drawings are processed by the AutoCAD software.
3.6 Preparation of Draft Master Plan
After Completion of as-built drawing, a draft master plan had been prepared for the
preliminary visited sites. Those master plan had been prepared according to the requirements
of the BWDB. The master plan had been prepared followed by the building rules and
regulations.
3.7 Meeting & Presentation of Draft Master Plan
Then a meeting was arranged by the BWDB with the consultant. Completed draft master
plan had been presented to the BWDB. The BWDB professionals review and scrutinize the
draft master plan. After discussion the master plan had been finalize. After that, the BWDB
give approval to prepare master plan for all the sites of Bangladesh.
3.8 Perform In-Depth Site Visit
After getting the approval of BWDB, the in-depth site visit had been started all over the
Bangladesh. A survey team was formed to perform the whole site visit. The survey team was
sent according to zone to cover all the sites of each zone. The surveyor visited all the sites,
contact with concerned person over phone or face to face and collect all the required relevant
information.
3.9 Discussion with Concern Officer of Each Office
After reaching the site, surveyor contacted to the concerned officer of each office. For
example, Section Officer in section office, Sub-division Engineer in sub-division office,
Executive Engineer in division office. All those officials are contacted face to face in site
visiting.

Establishments
3.10 Collection of Primary Data and Information
Required primary data and information has been collected by site visiting. By talking to the
concerned person of BWDB as well as visiting, information about site surroundings has been
collected. Site survey has been done to know exact position of each building, distance among
building, building height, building area, site area etc. This survey has been done by GPS
tracker, measuring tape and other necessary instruments. The BWDB office provided with
their existing layout map and other necessary information. Information about existing
building condition (e.g., abundant, poor, good), building type (e.g., office, quarter, dorm, and
barrack), any other relevant report or documents etc. has been collected by site visiting.
Necessary images and videos have been stored for further analysis. Provided organogram and
existing condition has been checked out if there is any conflict or not. Information about the
current utility services also analyzed to find out the facility gap in the site location. All this
information is important since any change in the project data which may induce change in
project concept, design, cost, and/or performance. All the requirements and future needs have
been noted from the staffs of BWDB for further analysis and also making the master plan
good enough.
3.10.1 Other Consultants’ Responsibility

3.10.1.2 Social Feasibility
Socio-economic Impact Assessment (SIA)
Social feasibility is the process of identifying and managing the positive and negative social
impacts of a development project. For this project, it will be used to predict and mitigate
negative impacts and identify opportunities to enhance benefits for local communities and
broader society. Social impact will be assessed through four phases.
Phase 1: Understand the issues
First of all, all roles and responsibilities will be clarified, and relevant national laws and/or
international guidelines and the preliminary „social area of influence‟ of the project, likely
impacted and beneficiary communities (nearby and distant), and stakeholders will be
identified.

Establishments
Secondly, Community Profile (stakeholders; socio economic condition; change in income;

migration of footloose industry; local needs, interests, values, aspirations; gender analysis;
historical experience; community assets/ weaknesses; optional opinion survey) will be
created by collecting information through Primary and Secondary sources. Focus Group
Discussion (FGI), Key Informant Interview (KII) will be conducted on the project affected
people. SPSS, MS Excel will be used to analyze or sort out the data. Community or project
affected people involvement and awareness will be ensured.
Finally, all social social/human rights issue or potential social concern issues will be marked
and relevant baseline data for key social issues will be collated.
Phase 2: Predict, analyze and assess the likely impact pathways
The social changes/impacts likely to result from the project and indirect impacts of the
project will be determined carefully. Impacts on host community and significant predicted
changes will be determined.
Phase 3: Develop and implement strategies
The ways of addressing potential negative impacts (e.g. avoid, mitigate, compensate) will be
identified and the ways of enhancing benefits and project-related opportunities will be
developed and implemented. A social impact management plan will be developed and
ongoing social performance plans will be implemented.
Phase 4: Design and implement monitoring programs

Indicators to monitor change over time and a participatory monitoring plan will be
developed. Evaluation and periodic review will also be undertaken.
3.10.1.2 Environmental Feasibility and Management Plan

Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)
Environmental feasibility of the project will be assessed in consideration of Environmental

policy 1992, Environmental Conservation Act 1995 and Environmental Conservation Rule
1997.

Establishments
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) describes the baseline environmental

conditions, including physical, ecological resources of the project area, assesses the
environmental impacts and provides remedial/mitigation measures through Environment
Monitoring Plan (EMP). Environmental components (e.g. climate, topography and soil, land
use, water, noise level, ambient air quality, flora, fauna etc.) in the project area will be
surveyed and assessed to conduct Environment Impact Assessment (EIA). An environmental
baseline data will be prepared that will help to identify important environmental components
of the project area and to assess the potential impacts on these components which may be
caused by the project activities during pre-construction, construction and post-construction.
The information to establish the baseline of the project area will be collected from different
secondary (e.g. government and private sector agencies) and primary (e.g. field survey, site
visits, public consultation etc.) sources.
Generally, Environmental feasibility aims at examining the project activities during the entire
project cycle including planning, design, construction and post construction stages, which
may result in impacts on the biophysical environment and social environment. Based on the
identification and analysis of impacts, the environmental feasibility will suggest mitigation
measures to reduce and offset the potential negative impacts and recommend enhancement
measures for positive impacts. The study will also suggest an outline of an Environmental
Management Plan (EMP) in compliance with the national regulatory requirements. During
the course of preparation of the Environmental feasibility, extensive public consultation will
be undertaken and baseline environmental, social and biological information will be
collected. Reconnaissance field visit has been initiated to design tools for data collection and
to identify important environmental issues relevant to the project intervention.
Checklist/questionnaire will be developed addressing agro, socio, fishery and environmental
aspects. A set of 11 steps as standard environmental feasibility procedure will be followed as
outlined below.
Step 1: Project Design and Consideration of Alternatives
Description of key activities of project will be described in sufficient details to determine

impacts. Following issues among others related to the proposed project would be analyzed
and described;

Establishments
 Major project interventions;

 Pre-project activities;
 Activities during project implementation;
 Post-project activities; and
 Project implementation schedule
Step 2: Environmental Baseline Description
Under the Baseline study relevant Physical, Biological and Social environment would be
addressed. Physical environment will cover topography, hydrology, climatic conditions, soil,
and water and air quality. Biological aspect will try to address flora and faunal diversity in
the intervention area including environmental sensitive spots and social aspect will cover
demography, education, health, sanitation, etc.
Step 3: Scoping
Identification and prioritization of the Important Environment Components (IECs) / Valued

Environmental Components (VECs) to describe the existing environment, which is
significant to the proposed project interventions will be identified and evaluated.
Step 4: Bounding
Establishment of the spatial and temporal limits for impact assessment will be covered.
Project geographical boundary and impact area will be defined to assess impact due to the
project.
Step 5: Major Field Investigations
In addition to literature review, collection of secondary data relevant to the study primary
data including on dredged materials, soil, water, air quality, etc. will be collected and
analyzed to establish baseline condition. Questionnaire/Checklist will be designed to collect
primary data from household survey including Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key
Informant Interviews (KIIs).
Step 6: Feasibility Assessment

Establishments
Potential impacts of proposed interventions will be identified considering future „without

project‟ and future „with project‟ scenarios and quantified if possible, in this section. Impact
will be assessed on physical, biological and social Valued Environmental Components
(VECs). Also, cumulative impact on VECs will be addressed.
Step 7: Evaluation of Impact
Environmental impacts, due to the proposed project, will be evaluated to assess whether they
are significant enough to warrant mitigation measures. Judgment of significance will be
based on comparison of accepted regulations or standards, consistency with government
policy objectives, Environmental feasibility manual and guidelines of project assessment,
acceptability of the local community, severity of the impact (reversible or irreversible), risk
(Probability of serious environmental effects) and availability of mitigation measures.
Step 8: Environmental Management Plan
An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) will be developed and included in the

Environmental feasibility study Report. EMP will contain compensation plan, enhancement
plan, institutional aspect, monitoring indicators, allocation of responsibility among project
sponsor, government agencies, community-based organizations for the implementation and
monitoring.
Step 9: Public Consultations and Disclosure
Consultations with relevant people, project affected person, contractor, BWDB, NGOs,
decision-makers and other interested parties will be continued through the entire project
cycle (Planning, design and construction and operation phases). There will be Consultation
workshops at national and regional level to know critical environmental and social issues
relevant to project interventions.
Step 10: Study Review and Feedback

Establishments
Environmental feasibility results will be reviewed with the beneficiaries and project
proponent. Their concerns will be noted to improve project design and operation to minimize
negative impacts as early in the planning process as possible.
Step 11: Environmental Feasibility Reporting
Environmental feasibility report will be prepared as per relevant guidelines (WARPO &
DoE) for the benefit of local people, reviewers, agencies, decision-makers and other
interested parties.
3.11 Preparation of As-Built Drawings
The as-build drawing of each site has been prepared by the collected information from site
visit. The site boundary has been denoted by the GPS by marking with GPS coordinates. And
then structure has been set at right position that is found by the GPS in site visit. The as-built
drawings are processed by the AutoCAD software. In this way all the structures have been
set down and prepare the whole as-built drawings of each sites.
3.12 Preparation of Phasing
Total project duration is 6 years. So, for working convenience and budget accomodation, the
whole project has been divided into three phases where each phase consists of two years.
And then what kind of works have been performed at which phase that is been set. All the
phase works had been listed down in excel file according to zones. The phasing details has
been given below:
 1st Phase: All the abandoned structures will be demolished and structures that
took places in free space will be built in this phase.
 2nd Phase: Those structures are in poor and moderate condition will be
demolished and then be built. At the same time land development and
landscaping works will be held in this phase. Maximum cost of the total
project will be in this phase.

Establishments
 3rd Phase: Remaining structures those are in good condition will be

demolished and then be built. At the same time utility services (e.g.,
electricity, gas, water, drainage etc.) will be provided in this phase.
3.13 Preparation of Phase Wise Drawing
After completing the phasing works, phase wise master plan has been prepared. What kind of
works are held in which phase that is determined in the phasing step. And then according to
the phase, master plan has been prepared for each site. There are three types of drawing for
each site that is 1st phase master plan, 2nd phase master plan and 3rd phase master plan. All the
drawings are processed by the AutoCAD software.
3.14 Preparation of Final Master Plan
After preparing those three phases drawing, all the drawings have been merged to make a
complete master plan for each site. All the building rules and regulation were being followed
during the design of each building. In this way final master plan of BWDB for each site has
been developed. All the drawings of master plan are processed by the AutoCAD software.
3.15 Preparation of Inception Report
After completing above the process, an inception report is prepared ensuring proper working
approach and methodology of each scope of work mentioned in the Terms of References
(ToR). The report is submitted in an approved format. This Inception Report is being
prepared to understand the overall project activities that required for the project.
3.16 Preparation of DPP
After completion of phasing and master plan, estimation of total project cost has been
prepared and included in Development Project Proposal (DPP). In the DPP, cost of all
necessary works has been divided into phasing, zoning, building types and so on.
Development Project Proposal (DPP) is being prepared following the PWD updated schedule
with all necessary documents. In the DPP, distribution of money, works etc. is clearly
specified.

Establishments
3.17 Preparation of Feasibility Report
After completion of DPP, feasibility study of the project has been preparing. This report
includes all the site information like site details, site surroundings, accessibility &
connectivity, existing condition & layout, DEM & contour, earthquake vulnerability etc. All
that information will help to measure the feasibility of that project. In this way, is the project
feasible or not has been found out. The report will be submitted in an approved format.
3.18 Preparation of Draft Final Report
After accumulating all those information and available documents a draft final report will be

Chapter 4: Study Management

Formation of a potential team of professional is prerequisite of high importance for the
successful implementation of an assignment. Study management is the process of leading the
work of a team to achieve goals and meet success criteria at a specified time. This is
particularly important in a project like the proposed assignment of Preparation of Master Plan
and Design of construction of necessary physical infrastructure including of BWDB
Establishments. A very careful thought has been given in forming the team of professionals
for this assignment. Thus, the team members have been selected in consideration of their
academic qualification, professional expertise and practical experience of conducting similar
studies and the individual tasks proposed under each position of the project. In this way, the
assignment is progressing smoothly through proper study management. It is estimated that
176 Man-Months service is required to successfully perform the assignment. The team
composition is shown in Table 4.1.

below:
5.1 Communication with BWDB
5.1.1 Contact with Concerned Authority

After signing of the contract agreement, the project work was initiated with the help of
Bangladesh Water Development Board. To know the needs and requirements of BWDB, the
consultant contacted with the professionals of the BWDB. Face to face communication &
contact over phone were held to know required information like number of professionals,
number & location of site etc. The consultant tries its best to reach the project goal with the
help of BWDB.
5.1.2 Collection of Organogram, BWDB

Establishments
To fulfil both the residential & office space requirement understanding of organogram is a
must. That‟s why the organogram of each office (e.g., zonal, circle, divisional, sub-
divisional, section etc.) had been collected by going those offices. The BWDB provides
sometimes hard copy, sometimes soft copy of the organogram. The master plan has been
organized and designed according to the organogram of professionals. The collected
organogram is shown below for example:
Figure 5.1: Organogram of Kurigram division office
5.2 Site Visit & Primary Data Collection
To know the exact requirements of both the office space and residential space a preliminary
site visit had been done. In this preliminary site visit, randomly site had been selected
especially zonal and circle office. That preliminary site visit helps to prepare draft master
plan. After a presentation of draft master plan and official meeting the BWDB permit to
conduct in-depth site visit all over the Bangladesh.
After getting the approval of BWDB, the in-depth site visit had been started all over the
Bangladesh. A survey team was formed to perform the whole site visit. The survey team was
sent according to zone to cover all the sites of each zone. The surveyor visited all the sites,
contact with concerned person over phone or face to face and collect all the required relevant
information. All the site visit of total sites of 217 of BWDB has been completed.

5.3 Preparation of Drawing & Design
5.3.1 Preparation of As-Built Drawings

The as-build drawing of each site has been prepared by the collected information from site
visit. The site boundary has been denoted by the GPS by marking with GPS coordinates. And
then structure has been set at right position that is found by the GPS in site visit. The as-built
drawings are processed by the AutoCAD software. In this way all the structures have been
set down and prepare the whole as-built drawings of each sites.
Figure 5.6: As-built drawing of Bhobodaho section office

5.3.2 Preparation of Phasing
After completion of as-built drawing, the whole site is being quite visible that helped to
prepare a perfect master plan. The drawing help to make phasing of master plan.
Total project duration is 6 years. So, for working convenience and budget accomodation, the
whole project has been divided into three phases where each phase consists of two years.
And then what kind of works have been performed at which phase that is been set. All the
phase works had been listed down in excel file according to zones. The phasing details has
been given below:

Establishments
1st Phase: All the abandoned structures will be demolished and structures that took
places in free space will be built in this phase. Entire sequential steps are:
 Identify the abandoned structures and empty spaces
 Demolish the abandoned structures
 Doing the land development and landscaping works
 Construction of structures in empty spaces according to master plan
2nd Phase: Those structures are in poor and moderate condition will be demolished
and then be built. At the same time land development and landscaping works will be
held in this phase. Maximum cost of the total project will be in this phase. Entire
sequential steps are:
 Identify the structures those are in poor and moderate condition
 Accommodate the residents of those identified buildings to the new buildings
completed in the 1st phase.
 Demolish the identified poor and moderate buildings
 Construction of structures that were immediately demolished except those
buildings which are already built in 1st phase
3rd Phase: Remaining structures those are in good condition will be demolished and
then be built. At the same time utility services (e.g., electricity, gas, water, drainage
etc.) will be provided in this phase. Entire sequential steps are:
 Identify the remaining structures that are in good condition
 Demolish the identified structures
 Construction of structures that were immediately demolished except those
buildings which are already built in 1st & 2nd phases
 Provide utility connection to each building as per need
 Construction of road network and landscaping works
5.3.3 Phase Wise Drawing Preparation

Total project duration is 6 years. So, for working convenience and budget accommodation,
the whole project has been divided into three phases where each phase consists of two years.

Establishments
And then what kind of works have been performed at which phase that is being set. All the
phase works had been listed down in excel file according to zones. After completing the
phasing works, phase wise master plan has been prepared. What kind of works are held in
which phase that is determined in the phasing step and then according to the phase, master
plan has been prepared for each site. There are three types of drawing for each site that is 1 st
phase master plan, 2nd phase master plan and 3rd phase master plan. All the drawings are
processed by the AutoCAD software. Phase wise drawing is given below for ease of
understanding of both the phasing & master plan.

Superimposing of proposed master plan over existing layout helps find out the difference
between them. It helps to find empty space, which building will construct on where, which
building have to demolish for construction of which building etc. It helps to differentiate the
present and future condition of each site. Above the figure will help to understanding the
difference.
5.3.4 Preparation of Final Master Plan
After preparing those three phases drawing, all the drawings have been merged to make a
complete master plan for each site. All the building rules and regulation were being followed
during the design of each building. In this way final master plan of BWDB for each site has
been developed. Among total site of 217, 150 sites are selected for making of master plan.
Because, some places are not suitable for making of master plan considering so many issues.
Again, there are many offices which have no individual site. Therefore, the number of master
planned sites is less than the actual site. The master planned site has been selected

Establishments
considering so many issues. A list of total site and selected site for master plan is in Annex-2.
All the drawings of master plan are processed by the AutoCAD software. For example, some
master plans are given below:

As mentioned earlier that, the BWDB has 217 sites in total whereas only 150 sites are being
selected for preparing master plan. But all the sites are not suitable for making of master
plan. Some sites lack of some important issues which leads not to select them for preparing
master plan. Due to less accessibility, unsuitable surroundings and unnecessity of making
master plan, some site has not been selected for preparing master plan. Again, there are so
many offices which have no individual site. Therefore, the number of master planned sites is
less than the actual site. The master planned site has been selected considering so many
issues.
