(Case study continued 3) The municipality is keen to advance the project and has requested the MDB lenders to complete their due diligence and commit the funds within this year to maintain the implementation timeline. For the operations phase, Uqbar Metro will recruit 690 new staff, including engineers, rail personnel, security and maintenance staff, to implement and operate the new line. Farebox revenues are expected to cover 70% of the running expenses during the operations phase (excluding interest on debt). The balance of operating expeditures will be subsidised by the municipality to maintain the affordability of the service. The project contractor, a consortium of reputable and experienced metro EPC contractors and rolling stock suppliers, has been selected following international IFI standards and national public procurement laws (the stricter of). The contract requires the municipality to step in and cover cost overruns on certain capex items whose final price is beyond the contractors’ control, such as the acquisition of land and payment of compensation to affected parties. A reputable technical and environmental consultant has been retained by the Municipality to carry out the necessary feasibility studies and environmental impact assessments in line with the local regulations. Traffic demand (ridership) studies were performed by an economic consultant using traffic flows and economic projections that expect annual growth of 5% in the number of passengers during the initial seven years, reaching 150,000 passengers by the end of that period and stabilising after that. The geology of the sub-soil comprises hard rock ground conditions, as confirmed by a study that sampled strata at two different locations along the route of the metro line.
(Case study continued 4) Also, 30% of the metro line will be below sea level. The project will require a total of 8 tunnel boring machines (TBM) to be provided by a Chinese supplier according to an agreed schedule. No back-up TBM will be procured to keep the costs under control. The 13 stations will be built using the cut-and-cover method. The City will be assisted by an advisory team of geologists from the University of Uqbar. The project will entail the resettlement of 1,350 households, including residential and commercial units. The resettlement will require the payment of compensations, which the municipality will carry out based on applications from the affected parties. Persons affected by the project will be informed through official notices to be published in the local media and on the municipality’s website. In the event of non-agreement, the country’s expropriation regime provides a swift resolution by imposing a payment upon the municipality in line with the relevant public interest laws, which were approved more than two decades ago. According to some theories, Uqbar is believed to sit on the remains of old Magzhmathi, an ancient city which is mentioned in a mythological poem dating more than 3,000 years ago. According to the poem, Magzhmathi lost the favour of the gods who sent an earthquake that sunk the city under the sea. Magzhmathi has never been found and historians speculate about its actual existence. Occasionally, works on the sewage and water networks in different parts of the city have identified archaeological findings of small significance that suggest the presence of a Magzhmathi-era culture in the zone.
