Annex 1C - Work Plan for Project Implementation Annex 1D - Excel version of BOQ (attached separately) Project Duration: 5 months   For Construction of Protection Wall in Sayaf Family through CFW, Surkrod, Nangarhar Background   With the current political instability, economic volatility, the collapse of basic services, the uncertainty over continued international aid as a source of revenue, the disruptions to trade and finance, and the impacts of climate change on food production, the risks faced by the poor are becoming more intense and less predictable. It is estimated that as of August 2021, over half a million people have already been displaced by conflict, and thousands more affected by natural disasters. Up to 30 percent of the population is projected to be in either a food security crisis or emergency by the end of the year, and half of all children under five are already severely malnourished.  An innovative, inclusive, and highly flexible approach is needed, one that puts people first targets the most vulnerable, and meets local needs by focusing on saving lives and livelihoods. UNDP is, therefore, adopting a highly integrated yet decentralized approach to programming known as the Area-based Approach for Development Emergency Initiatives (known as the ABADEI Program). ABADEI is centered on addressing worsening poverty and vulnerability, supporting community resilience and social cohesion, and enabling the rehabilitation of small-scale critical infrastructure for essential needs while creating immediate sources of income through cash-for-work and agriculture infrastructure that are under threat, due to crisis, climate change and economic collapse. 1.       Project Area: The Construction of Flood Protection Wall in Sayaf Family belong to residents of Sayaf Family located in surkhrod district, Nangarhar province, Afghanistan. 2.       Nature of Contract: Several communities in Surkhrod district, including the Sayaf Family settlement, are highly vulnerable to seasonal flooding and its damaging impacts. While agriculture remains a primary livelihood for many residents, frequent floods particularly during the spring and summer seasons—have repeatedly damaged homes, infrastructure, and farmland. These natural disasters have not only disrupted farming activities but also increased the risk to lives, livestock, and property. The purpose of this contract is to address these recurring threats by constructing a flood protection wall that will shield the Sayaf Family community and surrounding agricultural land from future flood events. This intervention is a preventive measure aimed at mitigating the destructive impact of floodwaters and enhancing the resilience of local households and farms. In recent years, heavy rainfall and river overflow have caused repeated erosion and damage along riverbanks near the Sayaf Family area. Floodwater often destroys cultivated fields, washing away irrigation channels, and undermining the foundations of nearby structures. As a result, families in this area experience loss of income, reduced food production, and growing uncertainty about their future livelihood. The construction of the flood protection wall is expected to significantly reduce flood-related risks, stabilize the surrounding land, and help preserve critical farmland. In addition to the main wall structure, complementary protective measures—such as spurs or retaining features—may be implemented where necessary to enhance the overall effectiveness of the intervention. This contract aligns with the broader goals of disaster risk reduction and community resilience, as promoted by UNDP/ABADEI. The planned infrastructure will protect residential areas and agricultural assets, ultimately contributing to improved living conditions, food security, and economic stability for the affected community. Under this RFQ, the major work includes (but is not limited to) the following items: A.      Construction of 1081 meters flood protection walls. B.      Construction (lining) of 1081eters bed PCC for flood channel. The completion of all the above construction items includes the following activities: 1.       Excavation for foundation for Structures. 2.       Stone masonry for flood protection walls. 3.       Bed preparation/Back filling and compaction at protection wall foundation and behind structures. 4.       Plain Cement Concrete for open channel. 5.       Plain Cement Concrete for blinding course under the protection wall. 6.       Joint filling 3.       Specific Objectives The activities would contribute to the following ABADEI outcomes, outputs, and activity results, but the main objective of this project is to facilitate conveying irrigation water to agricultural lands for communities. 4.       Scope This project shall be implemented in accordance with the approved scope of work, technical specifications, detailed designs, construction drawings, Bills of Quantities, and the general conditions of the contract. The nature of the project requires the engagement of a qualified and experienced contractor, duly registered and licensed, to execute the work on the grounds. The selected contractor shall be responsible for providing all necessary resources required for successful project implementation, including labor, materials, tools, equipment, supervision, quality control (QC), and any other related services or items essential for the completion of the project in full compliance with the design documents, BoQ, scope of work, and technical specifications. All works must be completed in strict adherence to the drawings provided, contractual terms, and recognized construction standards and best practices. No modifications, substitutions, or revisions to the design, technical specifications, or BoQ shall be permitted unless formally reviewed and approved in writing by UNDP prior to implementation.   Cash for Work (CfW) Arrangement: Contracted Service Providers (CSPs (the vendors) are required to fully comply with the UNDP Cash for Work (CfW) Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs), Annex 3, and all associated annexes. A summary of the scope of work (SoW) is provided below, with the comprehensive version available from UNDP upon execution of the contract agreement for selected entities.   1.       Selection of Provinces and Districts for Cash-for-Work (CfW) Schemes: The selection of provinces and districts for CfW must align with the Terms of Reference (ToRs). Village-level assessments should involve local stakeholders and emphasize benefits for women and children. CSPs should ensure CfW schemes complement other aid efforts, avoid duplication, and maximize outreach to needy villages. In consultation with community structures such as Shura, elder committees, Community level committees such as the Community Based Relief Committees Councils (CDC), and UNDP, CSPs will identify the most suitable unskilled laborers/beneficiaries for the project based on established criteria for Cash-for-Work (CfW), 2.       Selection of Appropriate Cash-for-Work (CfW) Projects: Participatory assessments should identify suitable workstations, ensuring community ownership and inclusion of marginalized groups, beginning with a public meeting to determine community needs. 3.       Setting Daily Wages for CfW Activities: CfW wages must align with local market rates, ensure gender equity, and provide higher rates for skilled supervisors. Rates should be harmonized with other aid organizations and adhere to Cash and Voucher Working Group (CVWG) in Afghanistan guidelines. The minimum pay per day for unskilled labor is 400 AFN and 700 AFN for Skilled Labours According to the BoQ 4.       Setting Minimum Days and Hours for CfW Laborers: CSPs, in consultation with the UNDP-RPO, must allocate a minimum of 12 working days (or as recommended by the CVWG) per beneficiary, with laborers working 6–8 hours daily and 30-minute break every four hours. A social agreement outlining roles, payment, and schedules must be signed by CSPs, local leaders, and UNDP-RPO staff for clarity and compliance. 5.       The project will require 740 skilled man-days, over 6 months; the project will require 2681 unskilled man-days, over 6 months. A social agreement outlining roles, payment, and schedules must be signed by CSPs, local leaders, and UNDP-RPO staff for clarity and compliance. 6.
