5.3.1 METHODOLOGY/STUDY METHOD
The consultant will view the TOR as a guideline and proceed in a manner that is both
economic and to the liking of both the consultancy and the client.
The study works will be conducted with the interaction of the client through which
the study team will maintain close working relations with concerned personnel,
concerned Municipality and other relevant government /non-government agencies
including local level entities. In order to achieve objective, following work approach
and methodology is proposed by the consultant based on the understanding of the
approach to the work defining ToR.
In order to meet the objectives the works are grouped into different tasks based on the
nature of the works. The appraisal work primarily includes data gathering-which
involves both primary as well as secondary data. Hence, the study will adopt the
following steps of the methodology
5.3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY
The basic intention of environmental study is to develop the best possible rural road
in the given environmental settings. Environmental consideration basically addresses
two aspects: risks or threats, which are the likely damages to the environmental
quality, services and natural wealth; and opportunity or potential in the given natural
9
setting for road works to harness the same. Environmental considerations should,
therefore, focus on avoiding or minimizing damages and, at the same time, promoting
sensible use of opportunities to improve the natural environment. So, during the detail
site visit on the site specific Environmental Management Plan (EMP) of the proposed
roads prescribed format by DoLIDAR.
5.3.3 ENGINEERING DESIGN CALCULATION
Engineering design with calculation. The format should is described properly
declaring the meaning and source of variable, constants and multiplication factors will
be referenced and justified. Technical Guidelines on Planning, Design and
Construction of Rural Roads provided by DoLIDAR will be strictly followed in
design works. The road be designed according to all weather road (well graded gravel
surface)
5.3.3.1 Preparation and Presentation of Project Documents

Regular discussions in the progress review and coordination meetings
On-the-job training
5.4.2 INVOLVING THE CLIENT PERSONNEL
The staff from the Rainadevi chhahara rural Municipality office will be a part of the
team and will work as team member to assist the Consultant during the whole work
period in the planning work for the project period as per the demand of the work
schedule and manning schedule in total to make him/her aware of the fieldwork &
report preparation works. In doing so, the he will acquiring the knowledge, tools, and
guidance from the Team Leader, which will help in broadening his/her knowledge
and skills in performing such kind of studies in the future, At all stages of work, like
study, data collection, survey and analysis, etc., two authorities from concerned office
will be involved. The cost of including the authorities and other overheads will be
borne by the consultant
5.4.3 TECHNICAL SKILL TRANSFER PROGRAM
The approach and methodology proposed in each section of this proposal requires the Consultant to
work in close consultation with the concerned personnel of the stakeholder organizations that will be
involved in the implementation of the project activities. In this sense, the program for transfer of
necessary knowledge and skill to the concerned is built in each section of the proposal. However,
realizing the importance placed by the RFP on this particular aspect of the consulting services,
following approaches and methodologies are spelled out in this proposal. The specific programs and
approaches described in this section will constitute the regular activity of all Consultant team
members and will be planned and carried out at the appropriate stages of the project design
activities.
Orientation Sessions
By which Consultant will organize discussion sessions to orient the project personnel on the process,
approach, and objectives of the study activities and their implementation.
On-the-job Training
By which Consultant will involve the concerned member of the project personnel in their regular
work where learning will take place in informal and working environment.
Experience Sharing
By which Consultant will organize regular group meetings to enrich the project personnel with the
experience of Consultant‘s team members.
Work with and not for Counterpart Team Members
By which Consultant will plan and discuss their regular work program with the concerned member
of the team. This process would introduce an interactive learning-by-doing approach in the technical
skill transfer.
Experiential Approach to Learning
By which the concerned project personnel will be provided with the opportunity to go through some
of the important stages of project design process as an exercise for learning. The experience thus
gained will be put into practice by working together in the field. The lessons learned through this
process will be shared among the wider circle of the professionals involved in the project
preparation.
Problem Solving Sessions
13
The Consultant will organize PSS where team members will be required to deal with 'representative
problem situation' faced by the Consultant in carrying out their regular job responsibilities. Such
session will improve the skill of team members to deal with difficult situations that arise during the
study period. Updated Pool of Knowledge and Skill
The Consultant will maintain project related documentation/information Centre that will ensure
prompt access to the concerned person of information for the type of skill and knowledge required at
any given point of project study. Guided by the above approaches, the Consultant will plan specific
activities that will contribute both to the quality of the design work and to the transfer of necessary
skill to the designated project personnel. The specific timing and the content for each of such
activities will depend on the stages of project study and the knowledge and skill level of the team
members. This program (transfer of knowledge program) will be continued throughout the project
design period.
Consultant's approach towards managing risks associated with the Project, among
others, will be as follows:
Seriously analyze and advise steps for ensuring a safe working environment.
Lessons Learnt from similar projects in the past will, in most cases, be able to set a
direction. Consultant will encourage to use the available information in the form of
project documentation, personal as well as institutional memory of those involved in
the relevant projects.
14
Process Documentation is yet another approach which will be highly emphasized.
Consultant will develop system and tools for process documentation and encourage
those involved in maintaining thorough documentation of each process procedure
adopted in making decisions, be it in engineering norms/standards,
public/stakeholders’ consultation / consensus building etc. This will help maintain
transparency, ownership and set a best practice trend.
Sharing of Experiences between the Consultant and the Client will be encouraged.
Work Place: We have fully furnished office located at the central part of the
city, with working space of more than 1800 sq. ft. and parking space. The workplace
has a professional, positive, healthy and supportive working environment. This has
been instrumental for generating motivated and improved individual capabilities to
perform work within given time period and producing highest quality of output. We
respect for human values and encourage developing human resources and leadership
through participation in taking professional decisions through "collective synergy".
Similar or better workplace is maintained by all the associate partners.
Outputs: The outputs produced by us are based on the "Client's First" policy,
and we strive not only for the quality of output but also for the total satisfaction of
Client and delight them through meeting the latest technology and knowledge-base
15
It’s our objective to ensure that potential causes for complaints are identified and
resolved before complaints become necessary. In case they do arise, the Project
Director or Team Leader will become aware of them during interaction with the
Client and field staff. They will be discussed in the internal meetings and quickly
resolved. We consider such complaints so serious that our procedures require them to
be brought to the notice of the Managing Director or authorized person of the firm
who will ensure speedy and satisfactory resolution.
Our main goal will be to deliver zero defect services through in-process
control and inspection within the daily management by rotating PDCA cycle as
discussed in previous paragraphs. However, this may not ensure zero defect
services on the Client's prospective. We will disclose any problems which have
been caused by our own process and may have troubled the next processes,
make efforts to find their causes and then eliminate them by solving the
problem. The processes will be identified on a task by task basis and control
points for each process and performance of each staff will also be defined.
The complaints concerning the performance of the staff or the quality of the
reports will also be dealt with by assigning staff who have a high level of
technical and administrative competence to ensure the highest level of
professional practice in implementing day to day tasks, providing clear role
and responsibilities (job description) to each staff and by carrying out internal
quality control and audit of Team members performance by Project Director or
Team Leader.
We, hereby, declare our firm commitment to adhere to the anti-corruption policy
appropriate to consulting practice. In particular, we assure the Client to adhere to the
following:
Refrain ourselves from the corrupt and fraudulent practices that are not
acceptable to the profession.
16
We follow following code of ethics and committed for:
As a follower of social and economic justice, we speak and act truthfully and
with compassion, dealing fairy with all, avoiding prejudice and hatred..
We fully abide by the work done by us undertaking full responsible about the
authenticity and accuracy of our service.
Being a legal entity the company understand, respect and comply with all of the
laws, regulations, policies and procedures that apply in the Nepal.
