Chapter 1Overview
1.1Project description
Project Inspection Team of the World Bank (hereafter referred to as “WB”), who once came to Mianyang to inspect implementation of Mianyang subproject of WB loaned projects, confirmed periodic achievements in Mianyang subproject when exchanging views with Project Office of Sichuan Province. However, Project Manager, Mr. Suzuki, pointed out that the current project implementation had changed significantly compared to Feasibility Study Report which was approved by the WB in October 2006 so that the loans were not enough for all planned projects due to devaluation of USD against the RMB and increase of works paying ratio of WB loaned projects from 70% to 100% after Wenchuan Earthquake on May 12. Meanwhile, he recommended that the Employer not implement Contract Package MK1 and MK2 (Jiuzhou Avenue Flyover and North Section 3 of the 2nd Ring Road) of Science & Education Pioneer Park Project because they were not urgently needed for post-disaster reconstruction.
Mianyang Science and Technology City Development and Investment (Group) Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as “STCDI Group”) has analyzed investment of Mianyang subproject, the Science & Education Pioneer Park Project. The results show that only about 40 million yuan will be left after implementation of projects that have commenced and are to commence if the exchange rate is 6.83 and funding gap will reach to 138 million yuan if Contract Package MK1 and MK2 are continued. In addition, as required by the WB, before implementation of Contract Package MK1 and MK2, the municipal government must first construct 2.89km works in Section 4, 2nd Ring Road North with self-raised fund as it promised and submit reports such as Environmental Impact Assessment Report, Resettlement Report and Feasibility Study Report to the WB for approval according to relative requirements of the WB. The process will be rather complicated and it will cost much in early stage. Therefore, China Science and Technology City Committee recommends that:
·Suggestion of the WB Project Manager should be adopted. Loans from the World Bank should not be put into Contract Package MK1 and MK2 of Science & Education Pioneer Park Project, i.e. flyover of Jiuzhou Avenue and Section 2, 2nd Ring Road North.
·If the above two contract packages are not implemented, rest loans will be approximately 12 million dollars (approximately 91.86 million yuan based on the exchange rate of 1:6.83) and will be used in Infrastructure Project in Xinglong Area of Science & Education Pioneer Park within WB loaned projects. Related procedures will be submitted for approval as required by the WB during intermediate adjustment of WB loaned projects by STCDI Group.
·Municipal Development and Reform Commission should be requested to lead this project adjustment and cooperate with the WB, Provincial Development and Reform Commission and Provincial Project Office for confirmation and affirmance.
·After considering both suggestion of the WB and the actual situation, related departments at province and city levels have approved project adjustment suggestion. Hence, loan amount of Xinglong Area is increased to 110 million from more than 50 million.
The Project, WB Loaned Science & Education Pioneer Park Road Construction Project in Mianyang, Sichuan, is a comprehensive one in which road traffic, drainage, landscape projects are integrated. Project plan contents include subprojects such as roads, drainage, landscape and illumination. Road design is as per the planning and horizontal alignment is completely consistent with the planning. Current topography and landform of the Park is relatively complicated. Therefore, vertical elevation of roads is optimally adjusted based on the planning, with earth-stone works balance and quantities of works analyzed and flood control and drainage taken into consideration. Design of drainage works, which is based on master planning, is optimally adjusted as per pipe diameter and master planning after detailed hydrological computation. Main contents of landscape works is road greening. According to study in early stage of the Project and planning data adjustment, main works contents of Xinglong Area are roads of 4.61Km, rainwater and swage pipes of 9.22Km, landscaping, water and soil conservation, etc. Refer to Figure 1 and 2 for status quo of the Project.
Road works of Xinglong Area of Science & Education Pioneer Park mainly include works of 6 roads whose total length is 4607.192m, in which 1# Road 1045.26m, 2# Road 313.973m, 3# Road 1101.052m, 4# Road 625.964, 5# Road 1102.741m, and 6# Road 418.202m. Secondary trunk roads, including 1# Road, 2# Road, 3# Road, 4# Road and 6# Road, are mainly planed to be 26m and 20m in the width. Branch road is 5# Road and planed to be 16m in the width. There will be both sidewalk and traffic lanes on roads. Public buses will be considered after completion. Road traffic networks of Xinglong Area and traffic framework of Science & EducationPioneerPark will be formed after completion of those roads. Refer to Table 1-1 for details about the works.

1.3Measures to reduce land acquisition and house demolition
1.3.1Planning and design stage of the Project
In construction of the Project, it is inevitable to involve land acquisition, house demolition and ressettlement and to affect orginial production and living conditions of local residents. In planning and design stage of the Project, Design Party and the Employer have taken some effective measures to recude impact of construciton of the Project on local residents.
1)In optimization and comparision of design plans, positive impact of construction of the Project on local social economy is considered as mush as possible and taken as a key factor in optimization and comparision of design plan. Because the Project mainly involves extension based on original projects, land acquisition and house demolition is reduced significantly compared to new road construction.
2)With construction design optimized and construction period shortened, house demolition and construciton and construction time are arranged properly.
1.3.2Construction stage of the Project
1)Publicparticipation system is strengthened. Before construction of the Project, commencement time and construction schedule of the Project are informed in form of bulletin in affected areas of the Project and resettlement areas. In addition, compensation policies of land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement are published for supervision of resettlers and host residents in resettlement areas.
2)Measures to reduce dust are taken. Water is sprinkled on surface of various construction roads in densely populated areas to prevent dust so as to get a clean and cozy environment on construction site and reduce impact of construction on surrounding environment if weather is fine during construction and it is windy. Moreover, Construction Party will adjust transportation route of earth and stone in time and avoid overload in loading and transportation. Construction Party will also take measures to ensure that earth will not drop during transportation to prevent environment tidiness being affected by dropped earth.
3)Waste at construction site is subject to proper disposal. A great deal of domestic garbage and various kinds of waste will be generated everyday at construction site because of long construction period and a great number of construction personnel. The Employer and Construction Party shall clean away domestic waste at construction site in time as required by local environmental sanitation agencies to ensure construction site is tidy and clean and to avoid infectious diseases breeding and spreading.
4)It will be considered to give priority to local materials during construction of the Project. If techniques permit, priority will also be give to local transportation and labors to directly benefit project-affected persons from construction of the Project.
1.3.3Resettlement Action Plan for land acquisition and house demolition in the Project and implementation stage
During implementation stage of land acquisition and house demolition in the Project, the following measures will reduce resettlement risks:
The RAP is prepared for infrastructure projects within scope of WB financed projects.
Collection of basic information will be strengthened to analyze status quo and future development of local social economy in depth. Practical and feasible resettlement measures will be developed based on actual situation in local area to ensure that living standards of affect persons will decrease due to construction of the Project.
With internal and external monitoring strengthened, efficient and smooth feedback systems and channels will be established. And information handling cycle will be shortened as much as possible to have various issues emerged in resettlement implementation solved in time.
Experience and lessons from resettlement of previous WB financed projects in the same area will be reviewed and drawn to reduce adverse impact of resettlement as much as possible.
