1. Background:
Following the protracted political crisis across in Syria, Turkey has become the largest refugee hosting country, serving as a transit hub and a reception country for irregular migrants and refugees from the region.[1] With almost 3.9 million refugees, more than 3.6 million are registered Syrian refugees under temporary protection (SUTP). Only a small share (approximately 10 percent) resides in camps, while the rest (90 percent) live outside camps, mostly in urban areas. Municipalities are among the primary responders in addressing the impact of the Syria crisis, and they have played an essential part in the development of more resilient capacities able to respond to the increase in demand for services.[2] The refugee crisis has resulted in a substantial increase in the population of many municipalities across Turkey, especially in the South Eastern region as well as a number of other provinces across the country.
Given the strain that the refugee influx has generated on water, wastewater and solid waste services, the Government of Turkey has requested grant financing in the amount of EUR 139,812,400 from the European Development Fund (EDF) under the Municipal Infrastructure Window of the Facilities for Refugees in Turkey - FRIT and an IBRD loan in the amount of EUR 135,355,000 for a project to support municipal services improvements in several municipalities impacted by refugees. For this Contract, the proceedings of the IBRD Loan shall be used.
The so called Municipal Services Improvement Project will finance environmental infrastructure investments and technical assistance (TA) to support targeted municipalities in dealing with the increased pressure on the defined municipal services, in particular water supply, sanitation and solid waste management, in a sustainable and equitable manner, taking into account the needs of the entire population including the most vulnerable among host and SUTP populations.
1.1 Project Area:
The provinces of Adana, Kahramanmaraş, Kayseri, Konya and Osmaniye are among several provinces in Turkey impacted by the influx of refugees. In 2018, these five cities had a refugee population of about 500,000 people. The increased populations have put significant pressure on existing municipal infrastructure including water supply, wastewater and solid waste management services in affected host communities. As a result, urgent interventions in municipal infrastructure to augment existing systems are required. The Municipal Services Improvement Project directly aims municipal services priorities, particularly construction and rehabilitation of water supply, wastewater and solid waste facilities in targeted five provinces (Adana, Kahramanmaraş, Kayseri, Konya and Osmaniye) affected by the Syrian refugees in Turkey.
The scope of this Contract covers certain investments in Osmaniye Province as detailed in the further Sections of this Terms of Reference. The following figures shows the selected municipalities of the Project and Osmaniye Province as the subject of this Terms of Reference.

Figure-2: Osmaniye City
Figure-3: The Districts of Osmaniye
1.2 Institutional Roles:
The main borrower/recipient and implementing agency of the Project is İller Bankası A.Ş. (ILBANK) which will act as the Financial Intermediary (FI) to transfer funds to participating municipalities or Water & Sewerage Administrations (Utilities) in the selected 5 provinces. Briefly ILBANK will establish a Project Management Unit (PMU) for the operation of the Project at central level. Participating municipalities/utilities will be responsible for sub-project investment implementation and will set up municipal project implementation units (PIUs) at local level to ensure effective sub-project implementation.
The procurement processes in selection of the Consultants and the Contractor/s for water, wastewater and solid waste projects within the scope of the Project will be under the responsibility of ILBANK. However, the relevant municipalities or Utilities will participate in the bid evaluations of their relevant contracts and sign the resulting contracts. ILBANK PMU as well as the Municipality/Utility as the signing party of the Contract has the responsibility of reviewing the Bidding Documents of the Infrastructure Investments to be prepared under the Scope of this Contract and giving comments to these documents before their finalization. Accordingly, the bidding documents for each type of procurement at national level shall be subject to ILBANK’s review and agreement.
The Consultant shall be responsible for taking the comments and agreement of the relevant sub-borrowers on the technical specifications and designs of the tender documents before submitting the document to ILBANK.
The role and responsibilities of the participating Utility under the scope of this Terms of Reference is as follows;
Osmaniye Municipality is responsible for the Consultancy Services for Construction of Osmaniye (Centrum) Water Supply and Sewerage Project (West Side Lot-1 & East Side Lot-2), who will be the Client for this sub-project that the Consultant will be carrying out.
1.3 Project Description
The Municipal Services Improvement Project aims to improve water supply, wastewater and solid waste services in selected municipalities that have seen significant population increases as a result of refugee arrivals. Most of the municipalities in these provinces already had operational problems such as high-water losses, inadequate water treatment, inadequate access to wastewater collection, and lack of wastewater treatment due to shortages in financial capacity and insufficient institutional capacity. With the increased population, there is additional demand on the municipal infrastructure and services.
The proposed activities directly address municipal services priorities, particularly construction and rehabilitation of water supply, wastewater and solid waste facilities in the selected provinces affected by the Syrian refugees in Turkey.
Selected municipalities within provinces affected by refugee influx are Osmaniye, Adana, Kahramanmaraş, Konya and Kayseri respectively.
The main activities that will be executed within the scope of the Project might be classified under two components:
Component 1. Environmental Infrastructure Investments: This component will finance the construction and rehabilitation works for water supply, sanitation, and solid waste management infrastructure in the targeted municipalities to achieve improvements in access, service quality and continuity of municipal services; and smaller scale critical facilities to address immediate municipal service needs of vulnerable SUTP and host communities at the neighborhood or settlement level, to be identified in a participatory manner by the beneficiaries.
Component 2. Technical Assistance for Project Management and Supervision, Capacity Building, Communication and Citizen Engagement. This component will finance goods and consultancy services for the following activities:
The project will seek to achieve the following results, in line with the project development objectives and activities:
(a) Improved access to safely managed water supply services;
(b) Improved access to safely managed wastewater collection / sewerage services;
(c) Improved wastewater treatment;
(d) Improved solid waste disposal in targeted municipalities; and
(e) Strengthened institutional capacity to manage municipal services in municipalities and utilities.
2. Objectives of the Assignment:
Consultancy services for design review, preparation of bidding documents, provision of Technical Assistance during the Bidding Process and supervision of construction and rehabilitation works for the below environmental infrastructure investments constitute the scope of Services of this Contract in general:

Also, the system is divided into 22 DMA regions for effective leakage control and monitoring.
As a result of the construction technology in the years they were constructed , the existing concrete/RC sewerage pipes have problems at connection points and rigidity, because of the high groundwater level and soil characteristics. Most of the pipes are full with groundwater and silts carried by groundwater. In order to eliminate negative effects of the old network; 402.5 km of lines will be renewed with 10,013 man-holes.
