DESCRIPTION
Scope of the Consultancy Services The ESIA Consultant shall conduct a full Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) including an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for Lot 1 and 2. The following description of the Consultancy services are based on a category C project as described in the Environmental and Social Handbook of the EIB (version 9.0 of 02/12/2013) and on a full EIA as described in the Palestine Environmental Assessment Policy (April, 2000) . This preliminary categorization has been made in the screening phase, based on the presently available information and due to the size of the project and the expected impacts. However in the scoping phase the ESIA Consultant has to formally categorize the project according to EIB standards and Palestine regulations. The ESIA shall comprise all the tasks that are required for a full environmental assessment as described hereafter. The Consultant shall be responsible for gathering, reviewing and analysing all necessary data and information. Data concerning the precise project location (border lines of the project site) as well as technical details (layout maps, technical description of the project infrastructure, description of the construction and operation activities, volumes and flow of materials) will be provided after the contract signature . The investigation area for the project is not limited to the physical impact areas (construction sites, access roads, intake and outfall pipelines, etc.) but also includes the project areas of influence, where significant effects (emissions of noise and air pollutants, waste water dispersions, etc.) are expected. The Consultant is expected to undertake investigations on social aspects, economic activities, and conservation of natural resources, historical and cultural heritage. The Consultant shall characterize the extent and quality of the available data and describe eventual key data gaps. Where the data are insufficient, the Consultant shall make all practical efforts to produce the missing information/data including professional estimates and predictions based on the most likely conditions at the project area, reliable information and data from similar projects, situations and conditions. The filling of eventual data gaps could also include the gathering of additional field data. The methods of accommodating these gaps and uncertainties in the ESIA shall be well stated and presented by the Consultant. When estimated values are used in place of data, the Consultant is required to provide the uncertainty limits associated with these values and perform an appropriate sensitivity analysis. Included in the consultancy services are two expert studies, a Noise Emission Study and an Air Dispersion Study. The works shall also include thorough consultations and meetings with all parties concerned (affected population or their representatives; local, regional, and national authorities; representatives of the scientific community; NGOs; etc.).
