Uttarakhand Integrated and Resilient Urban Development Project - IND 01 Firm on Climate Resilience Modeling, Planning, and Designing Approval Date: 26-Nov-2021 Deadline of Submitting EOI: 22-Jul-2022 11:59 PM Manila local time Estimated Short-listing Date: 22-Aug-2022 Estimated Commencement Date: 10-Oct-2022 Estimated Commencement Date: 1, 000, 000 USD Engagement Period: 18 MONTH Objective and Purpose of the Assignment Technical Assistance (TA)-6840: Enhancing Climate Resilience in Uttarakhand Urban Development aims to support the Government of Uttarakhand in enhancing climate resilience in two major cities: Dehradun and Nainital. The selection would be Quality-and Cost-based selection with 90:10 ratios. The state of Uttarakhand is part of the central Himalayas. It comprises numerous glaciers that are the source of perennial rivers, providing water to large parts of the country. Yet, water scarcity is an issue as water runs off in the hilly terrains instead of getting accumulated. Along with urbanization, degrading ecosystems, and inadequate, and insufficient wastewater management and infrastructure, the Government of Uttarakhand raised serious concerns on water pollution, particularly in the watershed near major urban areas. The 2021 snow burst and flood in Chamoli district, the upstream of Dehradun watershed led to serious infrastructure damage and casualties, which alarmed people in the state of Uttarakhand as well as many other states with similar conditions. The project aims to address the complexity of climate and human-induced problems, particularly floods, landslides, water scarcity from insufficient retention and detention and storage capacities, floods, and water pollution; to find solutions to effectively mitigate adverse impacts and enhance resilience. Responding to this request, the project will support (i) situation analysis (including the assessment of possible future changes in the socio-economic systems, and modeling works for scenario buildings, which should be based on participatory modeling of hydrology, flood mapping, groundwater modeling, and landslide mapping under different climate scenarios; (ii) the development of climate-resilient decision-supporting tools, which shall facilitate interactive planning and decision making; and (iii) the selection and design of climate resilience measures with a special focus on nature-based solutions at upstream and downstream urban cities - Dehradun, and Nainital; and (iv) the completion of concept design and pre-feasibility assessment of selected measures for future investment. Based on modeling works, activities include: (i) thorough and integrated hydrology, geohydrology, environmental and climate risks and impacts assessment in key watersheds and urban areas in Dehradun and Nainital; (ii) development of interactive map-based ‘climate adaptation decision supporting tools- that contains indications of flood-prone zones and other hazards prone zones; various climate-resilient solutions; information on potential water retention; detention, and storage capacities; and information on likely costs of selected measures, (iii) development of action plans on climate-resilient improvement with evaluation of possible points of caution for each of possible measures, selection, and prioritization of these resilient measures at upstream and downstream urban areas in Dehradun and Nainital; and (iv) capacity building training and capacity building activities on climate-resilient planning and development, which can support and facilitate the development of regional climate-resilient and sustainable watershed management plan on the Uttarakhand critical watersheds.
