JORDANGAM SMART CITY PIONEER PROJECTTECHNICAL SCOPING FOR SMART CITY - BASED ON GAM SMART STREET LIGHTING PROGRAMTERMS OF REFERENCEPROJECT DESCRIPTIONGreater Amman Municipality (“GAM”) is the largest urban area in Jordan, being home to over 4 million inhabitants. GAM with a land area of about 800 sq. Km is home to a rapidly growing population, increasing to an expected 6.4 million by 2025.There are over 130,000 street lights within GAM which are operated either directly by GAM or through an agreement with the Jordan Electric Power Company (“JEPCO”). With the expansion of the city urban areas and an increase in electricity costs, GAM is planning to replace 25,000 of its existing high pressure sodium street lights with energy efficient LED street lights in 2018. This project is prepared with the support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “Bank” or the “EBRD”) and will be implemented through an Energy Performance Contract (“EPC”) in the form of a Public Private Partnership (“PPP”). The project is envisaged to decrease the electricity consumption by up to 50 per cent, and subsequently lower the electricity costs of GAM. Further 105,000 traditional street lights may be replaced under a similar model in the near future. Final bids for the EPC are due in January 2018. Further 105,000 traditional street lights may be replaced under a similar model in the near future.In November 2017, GAM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with the Bank to formalise the interest in a joint collaboration to establish a smart city infrastructure, in line with Amman’s plans to move towards a smart city.A smart city is a place where the traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and businesses. Smart city transformation requires innovation and developing policies to improve the quality of life of citizens and make cities more sustainable to meet sustainable urban development goals. As such, EBRD’s working definition of Smart Cities is as follows:“A Smart City is an integrated concept to enhance competitiveness and quality of life by applying real-time urban data analytics using the Internet of Things (“IoT”) and other data-driven solutions to improve the efficiency, reliability and quality of urban infrastructure and associated public services for users.” Given existent collaboration between GAM and the Bank on the street lighting project, a “Smart Streets” project was identified as potential first project under the Smart City MoU. The concept focuses on both the reconfiguration of the street environment itself (travel lanes, sidewalks, urban street ‘furniture’, on-street parking, shade trees), it also uses the lighting columns to mount a number of sensors, meters, monitors, CCTV, tracking devices, as well as the LED luminaires, to create a large amount of real-time data on the street environment. This is useful for traffic/parking control and management, street cleaning, public safety, emergency response, weather, etc.). Data is fed to a control centre. These systems can help also anticipate flooding, monitor traffic, improve public safety, and monitor street cleaning. An example of the concept is provided in Annex 1.The Street light columns can be used to install various modern smart devices to facilitate the basic infrastructure of a smart city and a platform for the future GAM smart city program.In particular, potential smart investments could evolve around CCTV, traffic control signage, intelligent advertisement, as well as smart parking infrastructure. The latter would be implemented at a pilot area in the city of Amman along Ibn Khaldoun Street (between 3rd and 4th circle), an existing street of mixed usage (commercial, residential, and including the surrounding street network (approx. 400m in each direction from the main commercial street) to form a pilot area of approximately 3 square kilometres. The pilot area’s main street has already been the subject of a small pilot applied only to the commercial street corridor, and included civil works, new lighting, some CCTV and initial parking management. The new expanded project here should take into account the lessons learned from this initial project led by the GAM’s Traffic Department (the “Project”). OBJECTIVESThe objectives of the selected consultant (the “Consultant”) are to provide the Bank with clear external analysis and recommendations concerning the Project from a technical perspective, with a view towards EBRD financing the Project to produce a modern smart city initiative for an area of GAM while also achieving improved efficiencies. Specific tasks will include: Providing the Bank with technical due diligence on the existing street lighting system, parking and travel lanes of the Project area and the range of possible upgrades, including equipment, operating and control systems, etc.Identifying the technical and operational architecture for a smart city open data platform;Identifying and appraising the investments (i.e. poles, lights, CCTV, control rooms, solar, etc.) to be included in the Project, taking into account the City’s priorities and actual needs; Analysing the technical aspects of the Project to establish its feasibility and viability;Carrying out a preliminary environmental and social due diligence of the Project.It should be noted that a parallel consultant assignment will be commenced at a later stage to cover all institutional and financial/contractual aspects of the Project. The Consultant is expected to closely collaborate and provide technical inputs to the consultant of that assignment. ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTIONThe Consultant will assess the priority investment plans of the City for street renewal, public lighting, parking management, smart city data platform, etc., together with any feasibility studies, drawings and designs which are already prepared. The Consultant shall, taking into account the EBRD’s environmental, technical and procurement policies and procedures identify those investments that best fit within the scope of the Project and within the estimated project budget. The Consultant shall prepare a report with justified recommendations for consideration by the Bank.Review of the existing street configuration, lighting and parking systems in the CityAdvise the Bank, in consultation with GAM, on the appropriateness of the current street configuration and street lighting set up in relation to traffic and parking demands, road and pedestrian safety, etc. The Consultant shall carry out the following specific tasks:Analyse the existing state of the Company’s asset base, including travel lanes, sidewalks, lighting poles with all the equipment attached to it, road and parking spaces conditions, in particular the following features: type of the assets, quantity, age, main technical parameters, quality, security, satisfaction to the set standards, etc. Existing assets should be grouped in categories based on type of the street (main corridors, parks, green areas, etc.). Columns should be analysed in terms of the distance between and height, material, their quality, type and their ownership, as well as other important parameters based on the knowledge of the Consultant;Analyse current state of street lighting system control centre, including state of used equipment, software and the number of employees involved in the process;Analyse the current technical layout of travel lanes, sidewalks, parking spaces, and condition of the streets in the pilot area as well as the City’s road and street development plans, and comment on changes needed to create a high-quality, livable urban street that adds value to citizens quality of life, property, safety of users of all types, including pedestrians. Open data platform: For the smart streets project to be able to be scaled, GAM will need to create the architecture for a smart city open data platform. The data will need to be managed by the municipality. This is a common principle found in all major Smart City associations/ initiatives that are being created internationally (London, New York, Taipei, NIST IES-SC Framework etc.). Typically, there is a control centre that manages these data in the cloud, and makes them available to both government agencies and to the private software industry, who can then innovate to create apps for residents as users. Due care will need to be taken to anonymise all data for privacy reasons. The consultant should provide a detailed description of how the open data platform should be established and managed, and the IT and operational needs. Define the proposed smart parking systemThe Consultant shall carry out the following specific tasks:Assemble and review all available relevant data, reports, designs and mapping for the proposed investments, and advise on any additional design work that may be required;Analyse the new and innovative smart streets project, including all aspects described above and as shown in the Annex;Recommend a smart parking management technology/application that helps to reduce the carbon ‘footprint’ of the pilot area by reducing parking space search time for users.

This should be compatible and aligned with GAM’s procurement experience of its first LED street lighting project for 25,000 luminaires.Smart Parking: Evaluate current market display technologies for available parking spaces (e.g., smart card and RFID-based e-tags, etc.);Prepare analysis for a data centre of the smart parking system with extensional link to the third-party software and services, such like apps of smart phones;Prepare evaluation of auto-pay parking fee collection system;Consider manual parking fee collection integrated with smart parking system;Evaluate current market technologies (i.e. CCTV…etc.,) for vacant/occupied parking lot detection system;Ensure compatibility of the new smart parking system with the existing control and monitoring system of the city street lights;Adopt the sensors for environmental info collection and feedback to the data centre for potential applications;Evaluate the option to integrate the photovoltaic (“PV”) system for power supply with the smart parking system for energy saving and carbon emission reduction.Evaluate the technical specifications for a smart camera system, which should provide both enforcement of illegal parking, as well as real-time information regarding accidents for emergency response improvements, number plate recognition (ANPR), and facial recognition, taking into consideration the local legislation and data anonymization needs.Evaluate the technical specifications for a weather monitoring system. The equipment should also for real-time data to be fed into all types of emergency response (fire, police, ambulance, etc.) in the event of flooding or other weather-related eventsDetermine functional specifications for public WIFI on the lighting poles as a means of enabling the various data needs of the smart street project as well as to create a means to create some revenue for the City from the WIFI provider (i.e., a telecom company). Identify the amount of investments under the ProjectThe Consultant shall carry out the following specific tasks:Assess the Project cost, scope and process for the Project based on three scenarios: (i) highest technical specifications, (ii) medium technical specifications, (iii) minimum specifications, all based on the needs of GAM.Prepare a Cost Table for each scenario, giving best estimates of the costs of preparation of detailed design documentation, construction/ implementation works supervision costs, based on currently available information. Cost estimates should be presented separately for each segment, based on local or other relevant construction markets. The cost estimates for the details design shall include, where applicable, the cost of any surveys.Prepare the scope, process and budget for the City to complete all necessary planning and design work for the recommended project components for each scenario.Calculate the amount of investments needed for the implementation of all the proposed smart street elements for each scenario. Assess costs savings and conduct the economic review The Consultant shall carry out the following specific tasks:Calculate a basic economic internal rate of return (“EIRR”) of the proposed Project; make the analysis of NPV and/or B/C analysis, as necessary. The EIRR should include both direct and indirect benefits, covering issues related to accident reductions, air quality improvements, public safety improvements due to improved lighting and use of CCTV, etc.The scenarios (do-nothing, base case, pessimistic case, optimistic case, etc.) should calculate timeframes of 5, 10, and 20 years. It should be noted that the operational cost estimates of the new smart street pilot area will be provided by the parallel consultant developing the institutional and commercial approach.Environmental and Social (E&S) Assessment The Consultant will work closely with the Company to undertake an environmental and social assessment in accordance with the EBRD's Environmental and Social Policy (ESP 2014) and Performance Requirements (“PRs”). The environmental and social assessment will include the following stages. Adequate scoping to identify the main environmental and social sensitivities and constraints within the proposed project as well as relevant Jordan, European Union and the EBRD PRs and review how they can be applied within the framework of the proposed investment programme. Assessment of environmental and social impacts which might result from the installation and operation of proposed smart street lighting facilities. The Consultant will be required to complete a thorough analysis of the Project, to ensure that all possible environmental and social impacts have been identified and assessed in terms of significance, scale and duration. Further, the Consultant will be required to review or identifty the mitigation measures for all significant impacts, and to review the proposed monitoring programmes. Particular attentions should be paid to Human Resources policies/procedures and labor & working conditions issues; overall worker and community health & safety during construction and operation/maintenance; waste management/ suitable and safe disposal arrangements for the HPS lamps (what feasible solutions would be proposed); gender aspects; any relevant affordability constraints.Assessment of GET benefits of the project, including quantitative assessment of the resource savings (including energy savings) and any associated air pollution reduction by implementation of smart street lighting system, as a result of new investments to be made under the future EBRD loan, as well as improvements to pedestrian/ community and vehicular safety.An assessment/review of GAM’s capacities and environmental and social management provisions in place to manage the Project in line with the PRs.Defining Public Consultation and Information Disclosure requirements for the Project. The consultant will assist the City to define, organize and undertake public consultation based on the results of the assessment of the environmental and social impacts in line with Jordan national requirements and in line with EBRD’s Performance Requirement 10. This will involve development by the Consultant of a Stakeholder engagement plan (SEP) and Non-technical summary (NTS) for the Project (guidance can be provided in this respect).The environmental and social assessment should demonstrate how the Project has been reviewed and assessed against EBRD’s PRs, the relevant environmental standards of the EU and local legislation. This can be captured in the report and PR compliance table (template provided).

Scope of compliance is all PRs applicable to non-FI projects. The review is intended to provide a baseline against which to judge future performance of projects through the annual environmental and social reporting process.Between 2 and 10 indicators are identified for each of the applicable PRs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10.GuidanceFor all PRs (Indicators with whole number references) provide a summary of overall compliance with the PR. Justification for any derogation from a PR should be summarised and supporting documents referenced.For each indicator within a PR, please complete the 3 steps below:Decide whether the indicator is applicable. For Category A and B projects the starting point is that all indicators are applicable unless the project has no significant aspects relevant to the indicator (i.e. no risks), in which case the indicator should be scored "NA" and a brief summary of the reason given. For Category C projects the starting point is all indicators are NA unless the project has a significant aspect relevant to the indicator (i.e. there is a material risk).Decide whether an opinion is possible. If not (for example if the indicator will apply, but it is too early in the project) score as "NOP" and provide a brief summary of why. Where lack of opinion represents a material omission to the review refer to where this is addressed in the report and summarise any recommendations.Score the indicator as follows and provide brief justification.ECExceeding Compliance:The project has gone beyond the expectations of EBRD’s PR requirements. EBRD should be able to use projects rated EC as a role model for positive Environmental and Social effects. FCFully Compliant:The project is fully in compliance with EBRD’s requirements, and EU and local environmental, health and safety policies and guidelines. PCPartial Compliance:The project is not in full compliance with EBRD’s requirements, but has systems, processes or mitigation measure in place which are working towards addressing the deficiencies. MNMaterial Non-compliance:The project is not in material compliance with EBRD’s requirements, and the systems, processes and mitigation measures in place are not working towards addressing the ments/Issues: Provide a brief commentary (one or two sentences) on the relevance of this requirement for the project and an explanation of the chosen score.Actions Required: Where applicable, briefly describe any actions required by the client to achieve full compliance with each requirement. Where a relevant action is included in the ESAP for this project, please provide a reference to the ESAP.PR Summary: Provide an overall summary against the PR, using the above compliance definitions with supporting commentary. In some cases it may be sufficient to address a PR at summary level only, depending on Stage 1 above.Note: The Material Non-compliance score (at both Indicator and PR level) has significant implications for Project approval and requires particular care. In judging whether the measures sufficiently address deficiencies the consultant should consider in a structured way both the level of residual (post-approval) risk and the level of confidence that the Project can successfully bring the issue into compliance with the Policy through the ESAP.
