    15.8 KM HIGHWAY NLEX MARILAO TOLL GATE TO NORZAGARAY SAN JOSE

    ROAD PROJECT

    INTRODUCTION

    The 15.8 KM HIGHWAY NLEX MARILAO TOLL GATE TO NORZAGARAY SAN

    JOSE ROAD project intended to construct highway connecting NLEX- Marilao to Norzagaray

    Bulacan for the development of the national road network, particularly in less developed areas withpoor levels of accessibility, and strengthen the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

    The project consisted of several components including the improvement of national roads,

    rehabilitation and structural overlay, work on bridges on national roads, capacity building in various

    areas, project coordination and benefit monitoring and evaluation.

    It is the combination of these capital resources and our valuable human resources that enables us to

    deliver a successfully completed project on budget and on time.

    II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

    The purpose of this project description is to describe the proposed construction of the

    15.8 km of concrete diversion road that shall commence in NLEX Marilao Toll Gate and

    shall terminate in Norzagaray San Jose Road. The road section aims to promote inter-

    municipal linkage between Marilao and Norzagaray.

    The aggregate length is 15.3 km. The project shall be a 2-lane road with a 3 meter width per

    lane which is larger than the usual diversion roads. The proposed road shall accommodate larger

    volume of traffic and shall relieve traffic conditions. It will also function as a support facility to the

    people in Bulacan and nearby municipalities.

    The road will be equipped with the modern traffic facilities and advanced safety

    barriers for the safe travel on the diversion road and a pleasant travel as well.

    When the diversion road is finished, it will be turned over to the Department of Public

    Works and Highways and Department of Transportation for their maintenance of the road

    and for this diversion road is a public road.

    III. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

    Transport is an activity that is needed to attain some other work. Because of thisreason we affirm transport is a derived demand. With the rising population the demand for

    transport increases proportionally in this region. The two municipalities Marilao andNorzagaray would be connected by a road which doesnt have enough capacity to

    accommodate the vehicle flow. Because of this there occurs lot of issues about

    transportation. The issues can be stated as follows.

    Heavier traffic congestion. Larger travel, waiting and transfer time. Higher cost and opportunity cost. Lower utility level of passengers. Less interaction among the cities.To overcome these issues a new highway can be constructed, 15.8 KM HIGHWAY NLEX

    MARILAO TOLL GATE TO NORZAGARAY SAN JOSE ROAD.

    IV. SOURCES OF FUNDObjective of Construction and Funding

    The estimated project cost was P525,195,492.26 million.

    ThePhilippinesDepartment of Public Works and Highways is theexecutive departmentof

    thePhilippine governmentresponsible for all safety of projects in the field ofpublic works.It

    is also responsible for the maintenance of the Philippine road network and irrigation system.

    The 15.8 KM HIGHWAY NLEX MARILAO TOLL GATE TO NORZAGARAY SAN JOSE

    ROAD project would be funded by DPWH and local government of Bulacan. The approach for

    determining the allocation of funding is now a critical concern of provincial and local road agencies.To raise additional revenues for roads, the PRC should either increase existing taxes or establish new

    revenue-raising mechanisms. And historically, the use of bank loans to finance ordinary road

    programs has largely occurred at the discretion of provincial and local governments.

    The executing agency (EA) for the SRP was the DPWH. The SRP aimed to rehabilitate the

    roads on the existing right-of-way (ROW), thus it was in principle not difficult to minimize

    displacement. However, the ROW had become a magnet for illegal settlers who had convergedalong the length of the road because of the advantage such a location presented in terms of

    facility of marketing produce; access to transportation, services and population centers; andopportunity for engaging in some form of small-scale enterprises.

    The ROW for roads is defined by law (EO 113 and EO 621) and it was virtually

    impossible to change the width of the road to minimize displacement. In some sections

    however, the EA realigned the road to avoid settlements but these cases were few while inother cases land had been taken even though initial design had indicated that no additional

    was needed. In some urban areas the DPWH did not construct wider roads because of the

    compensation they would have to extend since there were privately owned commercialestablishments and residential areas along the proposed road sections.

    V. LEGAL PROBLEMSSome Critical Issues Pertaining to Highway Construction

    During the course of inspections carried out by our group pertaining to construction of 15.8

    KM HIGHWAY NLEX MARILAO TOLL GATE TO NORZAGARAY SAN JOSE ROADproject, we have found out the various constraints affecting the progress of the construction of

    the roads. Some of the critical issues pertaining to the highway construction are:

    Pre-construction issues Land surveying, investigations and design issues

    Construction and contract management issues

    Pre-construction issues:

    Delay in land acquisition Resettlement of project affected persons Tree cutting Shifting of utilities

    Since encumbrance free site is not made available to the contractors in the initial stages of theproject, the contractors delay the mobilization and in most of the cases, the contractors use the

    mobilization advance elsewhere.

    One more reason is that the extent of land to be acquired is not possible to be identified because

    of the outdated land records and poor quality of designs. Sometimes additional land requirements

    become necessary to take care of the designed right of way.

    Another reason is that the trees to be cut are not properly demarcated on the design drawings.

    Moreover, the clearances and permissions from the Department of Environment and Natural

    Resources (DENR) is a pre-requisite and takes quite some time before the trees are cut and designright of way made available to the contractors.

    Since no proper records exist of the under ground utilities like water supply, sewerage lines,

    electrical and telephone cables etc., these utilities get identified as encumbrance only during theimplementation stage of the project. Similarly shifting of overhead electrical and telephone lines

    (which are visible including poles) takes a long time. This leads to delay as the shifting of these

    utilities brings in hardships to the general population and suitable alternate arrangements arerequired to be made.

    There are numerous government agencies involved from which clearances/approvals/permissionsare required to be obtained before the utilities can be shifted or relocated. This takes a great deal of

    time. There are cumbersome procedures involved and sometimes the relevant laws and regulations

    are also not very clear.

    The delay in the handing over of the encumbrance-free land to the contractor generally takes as

    much as about 30 months compared to about 20 months which should have been the ideal case. Even

  • 8/12/2019 For Final Output (Highway)

    5/15

    5

    when the land was finally made available, there exist still some encumbrances which put a constraint

    on the contractors capacity to undertake construction work in an un -interrupted and continuous

    manner. Because of the above reasons, substantial extensions of time are required to be given to thecontractors.

    TREE CUTTING

    The need to remove all the trees, which have been the subject of recent protests by environment

    and nature advocates, so its road construction project could proceed. In all, DPWH is set to either cut

    or 143 trees, 36 of which are old acacia trees with diameter of 90 to 230 centimeters. Of the 36, 11

    were considered as defective and hazardous.

    Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) must conduct public consultations to

    discuss the importance of the project, removal of trees affected, replacement of trees to be removed,

    and other related concerns.

    Prior to cutting and earth-balling of affected trees, Department of Environment and Natural

    Resources (DENR) must likewise secure an environmental compliance certificate (ECC); conduct an

    assessment of the trees in terms of biodiversity, carbon sequestration potential and water storagecapacity; and identify mitigation measures to address the negative impacts of the trees removal.

    There are conditions to be seriously complied before a special tree cutting permit (STCP) can be

    issued to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for its road construction project.

    A total of 15,000 indigenous or native seedlings have to be planted and grown to be maintained

    for a period of three years with 80 percent survival rate, with instructions that replacement planting

    shall be initiated prior to the tree cutting. Every transplanted tree that does not survive after six

    months, DPWH shall conduct replacement planting at a ratio of 1:100, as prescribed under DENR

    Memorandum Order No. 2012-02.

    Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement

    No initial social assessment was done for the project due to the belief of both theDPWH and the ADB that no involuntary resettlement would occur in as much as the project

    intended to simply rehabilitate roads with existing ROW. During Land Acquisition and

    Resettlement Plan (LARP) preparation, much later, no social assessment was undertaken forall affected persons (APs) except for those in Santa Maria who were resettled due to anunforeseen events, during project implementation. The social assessment of affected families

    for the rest of the Project was conducted as part of the External Monitoring Study undertaken

    after the Resettlement Plan (RP) for Structures was implemented and affected families werecompensated just months before project closing. Structures along the Santa Maria were

    demolished to give way for the road improvement works of the Project.

    Meanwhile, it became paramount to compensate affected families who had alreadybeen displaced due to the loss of their building structures, to restore their economic

    conditions to at least their pre-project levels, as is also the law in the Philippines. The matter

    was complicated with the existence of Republic Act 8974, a national law which governedroad ROW acquisition in the country and recommended zonal land value as its initial

    compensation offer. The law in the Philippines states that a zonal land value as derived from

    land sale records needs to be offered to the person affected, and only when no agreement can

    be reached, a market rate based value can be claimed. ADB's policy requires replacementvalue, which is equivalent to market value.

    Zonal value is contentious because this is based on a land value defined by the

    Bureau of Internal Revenue, which is much lower than the market value. Law in thePhilippines requires that zonal value be offered first. However, if the landowners refuse they

    can take it to court, in order to obtain the market value. But this process usually takes a long

    time.

    There were two RPs for each of the 15 CPs, one for structures & improvements andanother for land acquisition. The RPs contained information on road improvement works of

    contract packages. As an introduction, the RP presented the legal framework of the

    resettlement programs and its adverse impacts in terms of affected families, structures, andthe corresponding entitlements. This formed the basis for the budget requirements and

    payment status for the affected families.

    The RPs also provided the framework for grievance redressal to accommodate

    complaints from affected families and ways to amicably settle differences. To facilitate

    implementation of the RP, institutional arrangements were proposed to define roles of ADB,

    Environmental Impact Assessment Project Office, District Engineering Office, RegionalOffices, and the Resettlement Implementation Committee. The RPs presented external and

    internal monitoring mechanisms.

    Legal bases used.

    Local laws formed the bases for the formulation of the RPs for both structure and land but within the

    framework of the ADB IR Policy. The legal bases used were the following:(i) Philippine Constitution Basic National Policy (Bill of Rights);

    (ii) Executive Order No. 113 Classification of Roads in the Philippines in 1995 and EO

    No. 621 (1980); Amending Executive Order No. 113, series of 1955, Establishing theClassification of Roads;

    (iii) Executive Order No. 103 (1986): Providing the Procedures and Guidelines for the

    Expeditious Acquisition by the Government of Private Real Properties or Rights

    Thereon for Infrastructure and Other Government;(iv) Memorandum Order (MO) 65, series of 1983;

    (v) Republic Act No. 6389: An Act Amending Republic Act No. 3844 (1971), as

    amended, otherwise known as the Agricultural Land Reform Code, and for Other

    Purposes; and

    (vi) Republic Act No. 8974 (2000): An Act to Facilitate the Acquisition of

    Right-of Way, Site or Location for National Government Infrastructure Projects

    Projects and for Other Purposes.

    Project Affected Families/Persons for Structures and Crops. The RPs for Structures andImprovements recorded a total of 7,309 families being affected.

    Almost half (46.3%) or 3,387 families were severely affected. The sheer number of severely affected families underscored the importance of proper

    compensation of the affected properties of the affected families. The RP required

    compensation of structures at replacement costs defined as market value of structures at the

    time of removal or eviction (i.e. taking into account depreciation).

    There were 608 marginally affected families or 8.3% of all project affected families (PAFs).Affected families with improvements numbered 900 or 12.3% and 2,414 were those with

    trees and perennial crops affected by the project.

    Compensation and Entitlements

    The compensation paid to affected families in the SRP, although late, was based on the

    principle of replacement cost as determined by an independent private appraiser. In thePhilippines, compensation can be based on zonal value or, if this is not agreed to, on fair market

    value. The latter is assessed by the Provincial or Municipal Assessor. The law on ROW

    acquisition allows the use of independent appraisers. In addition, the families that were severelyaffected by the project (i.e. losing more than 10% of their livelihood) received disturbance

    allowance of PhP10,000 per family; rental subsidy equal to average monthly rental rate for a

    similar structure for the period between the submission of completed documents until the release

    of payment on land; compensation for income loss based on latest copy of tax record and

    transportation allowance during relocation. The enforcement of the need for payment ofcompensation seems to be in large part due to ADB's persistence.

    Land Surveying, Investigations, and Design Issues

    The land acquisition for the highway projects is carried out in accordance with the principles laid

    out in TheRepublic Act No. 917,or the Philippine Highway Act of 1953, provided for an efficient

    highway administration and modified apportionment of highway funds. It also gave aid to provinces

    and cities for the improvement and maintenance of roads and bridges.By virtue of theRepublic Act No. 1192,the Bureau of Public Highways was created in 1954 and

    was placed under the Department of Public Works, Transportation and Communications to manage

    the construction and maintenance of roads and bridges. These two Acts govern the acquisition of

    land for defined public purposes and compensation in lieu thereof. If all due processes are followed,the land acquisition should normally take about 15 months and under the Land Acquisition around

    24 to 30 months.

    Since such a long time is taken to acquire the land, the process should get started much earlier or

    may be at the same time as the project is at the design stage. But actually the land acquisition plans

    are prepared very late.

    There are quite a few reasons for the delay and some of these are:

    Outdated revenue maps form the basis for preparation of land acquisition plans. The recordsare often not been updated for a long period of time.

    The land acquisition plans are often not realistic as the design consultants lack expertise toprepare such plans. They also do not carry out the alignment and ground verification.

    There are frequent changes in the designs and alignments during implementation stage. Insome cases, there are discrepancies in the project coordinates and the reference frames

    resulting in mismatch thereby resulting in redesign of the alignment.

    The project authorities have to depend on the human resources from the revenue authorities,who are already over stretched and cannot, provide the required assistance on time.

    In the absence of clear guidelines on providing compensation in special cases (including landowners with unclear titles or more than one owner), the settlement process takes a much

    longer time.

    In addition to the above, the reasons for delay in resettlement are as follows:

    Delay in finalization of the alignment and corridor of impact during project preparation stage Delay in identification and finalization of the list of displaced persons. The list of title

    holders gets finalized after the declaration of award by the competent authority.

    The alternative land for relocation during preparation stage is not firmed up Construction and contract management issues: Very weak contract management & enforcement environment. The role of the Independent Engineer is not clear. Many of the Employers staff and domestic

    supervision consultants do not have adequate knowledge/ to understand the conditions of

    contract.

    Lack of the understanding between the Employers and the contractors that speedy completionof the projects is to both parties interest.

    Lack of understanding of the contract conditions both by the Employers and the contractors. Since the Employer is usually lacking in fulfilling his obligations under the contract, such as

    timely delivery of encumbrance free land, timely decision making on the variations, making

    payments on time, early activation of dispute resolution mechanism, his leverage on the

    contract enforcement gets eroded.

    There is a resistance to acceptance of the responsibility in taking decisions, even when theEmployers staff is convinced. This is because of a fear psychosis and the staff tries to pass

    on the buck.

    There is lack of training imparted to the Employers, & contractors staff on the generalterms and conditions of the contract and the division of the parties rights, duties and

    obligations as per the contract. This results in lack of motivation for treating the project as a

  • 8/12/2019 For Final Output (Highway)

    9/15

    9

    common goal and working as a teamand all the partiestry to shift the blame to others and

    no one tries to take the responsibility.

    Due to dearth of construction management skills in the country, the contractors performancegets affected. This includes the contractors work planning, resource and workflow

    management, cash flow management and his overall project management.

    The contractors generally quote low to win the contract. They normally have their eyes onmaking money through raising claims at a subsequent date knowing fully well that the

    Employer will certainly provide them many avenues to do so, particularly because of delay in

    making land available and delay in decisions, payments etc.

    Since the role of the Independent Engineer is not very clear so the Engineer takes noresponsibility.

    The Engineer is not accountable as after the project is completed, he is simply not there.

    The supervision consultancy contracts are generally time based. This creates a perverseincentive to delayed decision making resulting in extension of the civil works and

    consequently in the extension of the contract.

    OTHER RISK THAT CAN AFFECT CONSTRUCTION OF 15.8 KM HIGHWAY NLEX

    MARILAO TOLL GATE TO NORZAGARAY SAN JOSE ROAD

    Accidental hazards:All types of hazards, with the exception of those resulting from pre-meditated

    activities.

    Act of nature: An event resulting from natural causes, which could not have been prevented by

    reasonable care or foresight.

    Client-related risk:The risk that actions (or inactions) taken by clients or user groups may

    negatively affect the achievement of objectives. For example, a client department may change its

    requirements for the amount and type of space and its fit-up specifications. The change may result indelays and increased costs.

    Employee risk: The risk that arises from the actions (or inactions) of employees, whether intentional

    or unintentional. This category encompasses the risks associated with insufficient human resourcecapacity and/or competence.

    Environmental risk: The risk that capital projects may have a negative impact on the environmentand that measures to mitigate the environmental impact may not be fully complied with.

    Financial risk:The risk arising from insufficient funding for operational and/or strategic priorities.

  • 8/12/2019 For Final Output (Highway)

    10/15

    10

    Fraud/corruption:The risk of loss or damage to assets due to an intentional misrepresentation (by

    an employee or the public) with an intention to deceive for personal gain.Hostile actions from others: Malicious or premeditated actions against the organization, including

    action from the public.

    Landlord-related risk: The risk that actions (or inactions) taken by the landlord or lessor of abuilding may negatively affect the achievement of objectives. At the end of a lease, a landlord of an

    occupied building may not be willing to renegotiate at favourable terms or may not want to modify

    buildings to meet the government's project schedule. This may result in increased costs and delaysand less-than-satisfactory accommodation.

    Legal risk:The violation of laws, regulations, and treaties/agreements and any legal liability that

    may result from these violations. For example, potential legal risks may arise in the tenderingprocess, including changing the bid process midstream or accepting an unsolicited proposal from a

    bidder.

    Partner or supplier/contractor risk:The risk that actions (or inactions) taken by partners or

    suppliers/contractors may negatively affect the achievement of objectives. For example, a heated

    construction market may have an adverse impact on cost estimates. A contractor may not be able to

    finish the construction of a capital project because of unforeseen construction or financial problems.This may result in cost overruns, delays, and potential liability for the government.

    Political risk: The risk that a change of government, political priorities, or policy direction maynegatively affect the achievement of established objectives. Unwarranted political involvement may

    work against the judgment and decision making of department officials.

    Process risk: Inadequate or failed processes or management practices, including non-compliancewith policies and procedures.

    Public opinion risk:The risk that public opinion may impede the organization's ability to achieveits objectives.

    Technology risk:The risk arising from inadequate infrastructure (technology or otherwise),including system failure.

    VI. DESIGN CRITERIAFor each project, the values established for the applicable design elements represent the

    design criteria for that project. The chapter defines the following critical design elements and

    provides values for different classifications of highway designs.

    The design criteria for urban arterials are:

    A. Design Speed

    The design speed is either: maximum functional class speed or a speed based on the

    anticipated (post-construction) off-peak 85th percentile speed within the range of functional

    class speeds as shown below. The following are the range of design speeds.

    Area Character Minimum Design Speed Maximum Design Speed

    Suburban and Developing Areas 60 km/h 100 km/h

    Central Business District 50 km/h 100 km/h

  • 8/12/2019 For Final Output (Highway)

    11/15

    11

    B. Lane Width : Determine from Exhibit M2-4.

    C. Shoulder Width : Determine from Exhibit M2-4.

    D. Bridge Roadway Width : Determine Bridge Manual. Note that the bridge roadway width

    includes the lane and shoulders and is often based on the approach lane and shoulder width

    determined from Sections B and C, above.

    E. Grade : Determine maximum from Exhibit M2-4

    F. Horizontal Curvature : Determine minimum radius from Exhibit M2-4. For curves with

    radii larger than the minimum radius, the radius of curve and superelevation on each

    horizontal curve shall be correlated with the design speed in accordance with Exhibit M2-12

    for e max = 4%.

    The superelevation distribution in this table provides a gradual increase in the

    unresolved lateral forces on a vehicle as the curve radii decreases. This distribution of

    superelevation is based on Method 5 in Chapter III of AASHTO=s A Policy on Geometric

    Design of Highways and Streets, 2004. For low-speed (70 km/h and below) urban streets in

    heavily built-up residential, commercial, and industrial areas (where building fronts,

    drainage, sidewalks, or driveways would be substantially impacted by added superelevation),

    the use of superelevation can be minimized by placing greater reliance on side friction to

    counter lateral acceleration. This distribution of superelevation is based on Method 2 in

    Chapter 3 of AASHTO=s A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 2004.

    Below are the minimum radii at 4% superelevation using this method.
