___________________________________stated that "The Employer shall select a firm(s) to provide materials testing and inspection services during Construction". On the other hand, among the tasks of the EPCF Design Sub-Consultant is Task 3: Contract Administration (Construction Supervision).

As materials testing and inspection services are part of the construction supervision activities, please clarify whether the EPCF Design Sub-Consultant has to provide materials testing and inspection services within his Task 3 or he will have to coordinate with the other firm which will provide such services.

The EPCF Design sub consultant shall be responsible for the materials and testing and inspection services within Tsk 3. The Employer shall however have the right to approve the firm from the EFCF team since this frim will be under direct

14 Ref. Section 5 ToR, 5.2.1.1 Sub-lot 1A — Streetscape: It is stated that "DAR's services also provide for the construction inspection services for 5.2.1.1". Please clarify if the construction Supervision for this Sub-lot falls within the Scope of Work of the EPCF Design Sub-Consultant or if it will be provided by DAR.

The construction inspection services for the Phase 1A Streetscape sub lot and the Wastewater Reclamation Facility sub lot does not fall within this scope at this time. It may be added at the time of award and negotiation.

15 Ref. Section 5 ToR, 5.2.7.1. General: Among Tasks outlined for the EPCF Design Sub-Consultant is "Task 2: Detailed Engineering Design, Final Design & Preparation of Tender Documents". As this is an EPCF Contract, preparation of Tender documents should not be part of the Scope of Work. Please clarify

That is correct. The ToR was used as an example to show the level of effort but the Bidder shall not be required to prepare Tender documents

16 Ref. Section 5 ToR, 5.2.16 Security and Entrance Feature: It is stated "Mombasa Road interchanges and bridges will need to be configured slightly different from what was proposed in the Master Plan". Please clarify what are the constraints to be respected so as to understand to what extent the configuration can be modified for optimization.

This will not affect the effort of the EPCF tenderer. It may however require the temporary deceleration lane to shift to the north approximately 500 metres

17 Ref. Section Section 6 — EPC Proposal Forms: It is stated that "The qualification forms shall be filled out for each of the main categories individually:

— Engineering (Designer) — Contracting — Financing".

Please confirm that financing institution is not supposed to fill qualification forms (general and specific experience, current contract commitments, etc.)

The financing institution does need to fill out the forms (or provide a separate format for providing the information). This will be reviewed as part of the Technical review and scored accordingly. Specific information and back ground including the lending ability, current commitments, past lending (as applicable), should be included.

18 Ref. Section Section 6 — EPC Proposal Forms: Forms (V) and (XII) report the same information.. Please clarify.

One is for ongoing contracts while the other is for similar contract that may be completed. There may be a bit of duplication.

19 Ref. Section Section 6 — EPC Proposal Forms: Form (XVI) states "Sub-contractor's experience of similar works carried out in the last 3 years with Contract value" while few lines above states "Subcontractor's experience of similar works carried out in the last 4 years with Contract value". Please amend.

The correct time frame should be four (4) years

Revision No: 00 2 Issued: 11/25/2015

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By 2050, continuing population growth and urbanization are projected to add 2.5 billion people to the world’s urban population with nearly 90 per cent of that increase concentrated in Asia and Africa. For this reason, Africa and Asia are urbanizing faster than any other regions of the world and are projected to become 56 and 64 per cent urban. Approximately 75 percent of the infrastructure required that will be in place in 2050 does not even exist today (ICLEI 2015). This provides Konza Tech City (KTC) with a tremendous opportunity to demonstrate leadership and be an ‘innovator’ in sustainability and its approach to provide resilient 24/7 delivery of basic services, within the energy, water, sanitation, and transit sectors.

Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) is the implementing agency for the development of KTC as a flagship project under the Kenya Vision 2030 Development Plan and with the stated goals of providing a sustainable, world-class technology hub with a vibrant mix of businesses, workers, residents and urban amenities. It should be recognized that KTC will not only compete on equal footing globally, but will also provide a diffusion of innovations for the African continent by being the first fully planned city that provides 24/7 services, the same services, to all socioeconomic groupings. The theory of diffusion of innovation identifies five key categories of adopters: 1) innovators, 2) early adopters, 3) early majority, 4) late majority, and 5) laggards. As KoTDA will be in the ‘innovator’ category for African cities, the actions taken towards a sustainable and resilient city will need to be documented in order for the diffusion of ideas to take root in other city adopters that will follow and provide open discussions regarding how KTC will change the status quo in African development. There are already significant movements for developing and identifying resilient and sustainable cities in Africa. On a country level, South Africa’s Sustainable Cities Program1 highlights the need for cities to develop strategies that take into account the sustainable use of finite resources and provides a network, a source of information, and leadership for South Africa’s largest cities. Global business is similarly interested in the sustainable development of African cities, e.g. African Green City Index.2 The Green City Index is a joint Siemens and Economist Intelligence Units study that measures the environmental performance of 15 major African cities across eight environmental categories. The best performing of the 15 are Accra, Cape Town, Casablanca, Durban, Johannesburg, and Tunis. Accra was named the best business center on the continent in this study. Another international effort that is evaluating the resilience of cities is the 100 Resilient City program from Rockefeller Foundation. 3 This program defines resilience as “…the capacities of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses, and systems within a city to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience.” In Africa, the participating cities are; Accra, Arusha, Dakar, Enugu, Kigali, and Durban. KTC has the opportunity to build resilience into its governance and infrastructure sectors to provide leadership in this arena. The intent of this report and PowerPoint (appendix A) is to provide the recommendations for the implementation of the KTC Sustainability Framework so that

1 http://www.sacities.net/about 2 http://www.siemens.com/entry/cc/en/greencityindex.htm 3 http://www.100resilientcities.org



KTC may not only compete, but lead the resilience and sustainability discussions for the African continent.

1.1 OVERVIEW OF FRAMEWORK AND STATED GOALS

The goals and objectives in the Sustainability Framework (the Framework) were guided by the definition for sustainability for Konza as follows:

KONZA’s sustainable development will maintain the ongoing needs of its citizens to be socially cohesive yet diverse, resilient to unforeseen natural and human forces, and economically strong through innovative approaches and commitment to stewardship of the surrounding lands and resources.

This Framework is intended to guide the establishment of the KTC Sustainability Program to be housed in the One-Stop Center, and managed by, and under custody of an appropriate municipal-level agency.

1.1.1 Tools of Konza’s Sustainability Program

The key to establishing leadership in sustainability and resilient infrastructure is to establish an array of tools that will guide design and the future operations of KTC. In summary from the Framework, these tools are:

City Certifications – Reporting Tool: Sustainability of Konza’s built environment can be described as a whole summed from its parts, that is, all of the built environment (buildings and infrastructure) will require a process for monitoring that design is adhering to the recommended Certification program and data collected by the One-Stop Center.

Sustainability Dashboard (SD) – Reporting Tool: The primary purpose of the SD is to provide a relatively current and transparent source of information regarding Konza’s level of performance, once occupied, against the stated sustainability goals, e.g. resource and transportation efficiency, carbon footprint, and other relevant metrics.

Smart City – Management Tool: The primary purpose of making KONZA ‘smart’ with the use of responsive monitoring and controls technology is to improve the efficiency and delivery of critical infrastructure and institutional systems. Infrastructure efficiencies are found both within singular sectors (e.g. pump efficiency within the water sector) and also with the city-scale.

GIS/Asset Management – Management Tool: Approximately 70 – 80 percent of all information required for local government operations is or can be depicted on a map.4 Defined broadly, a Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based system for capture, storage, retrieval, analysis, and display of spatial data. As a management tool, Konza would utilize the spatial analysis capabilities for tracking features such as boundaries, pipes, streets, buildings, crime incidents, and permitted activities.

4 State of Massachusetts Office of Geographic and Environmental Information (MassGIS)



Information Management System – Management/Reporting Tool: An Information Management System (IMS) is a general category of database and user interface tools that is developed for specific city needs. The uses range from emergency management systems, permit tracking, and carbon footprint calculating.

1.1.2 One-Stop Center

Central to connecting the development, operations, and ongoing maintenance of Konza to data inputs and sustainability goals is through an efficient data collection system. The One-Stop Center will monitor the permitting that will include data ownership (per the Framework) and interpretation of the data for improving future management of the city. In addition to being a planning center and resource for all business and development permits, as discussed in the Development Guidelines, the One-Stop Center will also be the informational hub of Konza. The conceptual inflow of data and outflow of meaningful metrics for decision-makers is depicted in Figure 1.

1.1.3 Sustainability Dashboard

KTC has the ability to develop data streams, collection processes, and ownership of the data as this is a new city and establishing data ownership from the beginning is critical. For every permit issued, there are data requirements as discussed in the Sustainability Framework. In addition, KTC can require that all utility data used in private and public buildings are public information that can be collected and aggregated into datasets that provide a unique opportunity to display actual energy, water and estimated associated carbon emissions for the city at a frequency to be determined. This capability is not available even the most progressive cities in the world. As shown on Figure 2, typical city carbon inventories are performed every 3 to 10 years and require expensive consultants. KTC can directly collect data and the Sustainability Program can display on the Sustainability Dashboard. The permitting process also requires the tracking of key construction materials (discussed in the Sustainability Framework) that will put KTC at the forefront of transparent sustainable data. As Smart City discussions continue, the Sustainability Program can choose what other metrics will be of value to KTC.

1.1.4 Key Governance Actions for KTC

With the tools in place, KTC’s primary governance tasks for the Sustainability Program will be the following:

Resiliency The concept of ‘resiliency’ has been well-accepted in Africa, where “…the largest percentage of cities, reporting that their resiliency mitigation programs have made an important contribution to attracting business, comes from Africa…”5 The Framework identifies criteria for a resilient Konza that is primarily governance driven and linked to the Sustainable Urbanism and SmartCode. The “Ten Essentials to Make Cities Resilient Checklist”6 is incorporated into the Sustainability Framework.

Resource Management Central to all aspects of Konza’s sustainability is resource efficiency through a program of resource management. The tracking of resource consumption not only identifies baseline use, but also provides narrative for project efficiency and transparency for sustainability. As “construction materials” are a key component of understanding and managing natural resources, it was proposed to have all future work for buildings and infrastructure track the following materials:

o Concrete (mix volumes with cement content) o Aggregates (crushed and river) o Rebar (reinforcing steel) o Structured Steel (beams, flanges, embeds) o Pipe (plumbing, storm drain, fire) o Roofing (membranes, plastic, asphalt, rubber, other) o Timber (wood planks, sheets) o Tarmac paving o Fuel (total construction fuel consumed onsite by generators and other

equipment)

City/Building Certification Recommended – LEED and Green Star LEED and GreenStar are internationally recognized green building certification systems. To achieve certification buildings and communities must meet prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification for the selected version of the LEED and GreenStar Rating Systems. Credits are based on strategies that improve energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources.

Infrastructure Certification Recommended - Envision Infrastructure is essentially the ‘foundation’ of further development in Konza and is generally defined as: “The physical components of interrelated systems providing commodities and

services essential to enable, sustain, or enhance societal living conditions.”7 The MDP2 team selected the Envision™ tool, from the Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI, www.sustainableinfrastructure.org) due to its compatibility to LEED ND and GreenStar and is in accordance with Konza’s integrated sustainable development approach by anticipating and reducing vulnerabilities to climate change, reliance on materials/fuels, and other disasters. The infrastructure should be certified as systems, rather than projects, as the results of systems certification could populate the guidelines for all future construction projects on individual components of those systems.

2.0 SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE

KoTDA will establish a One-Stop Center to assist tenants and developers with an efficient process of parcel acquisition, design and construction permitting for occupancy in new facilities within Konza. The KoTDA will be responsible for the implementation of the Sustainability Framework and the governance of the eventual municipal operations. The municipal government will include the permanent position of a Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) under the Konza Services Manager. The CSO will oversee the ongoing enforcement of sustainable design, construction and operations of City infrastructure, as well as private developments.

Private developers will be expected to comply with a process which ensures sustainable results. Steps through this process will include the responsibility to:

1. Receive Konza Development Guidelines information from KOTDA One Stop Center (there will likely be on line access).

2. Review Guidelines and Sustainability Certification requirements for each specific parcel, project type and use of interest.

3. Submit a Sustainability Compliance Plan with a conceptual development proposal and lease expression of interest/application to the KOTDA One Stop Center.

4. Register for Sustainability Certification with LEED or GreenStar. 5. Submit a LEED or GreenStar Certification scorecard with Design Documents for

Building Permit. 6. Submit a LEED or GreenStar Certification construction compliance for Certificate of

Occupancy. 7. Upon receipt of Sustainability Certification submit a copy of the documentation to

KoTDA One Stop Center.

KoTDA will hold developers, designers, construction contractors and facility operators accountable to supply the needed data to ensure sustainability. Prerequisite principles of sustainable urbanism are integrated into the design and development guidelines for each city parcel to which private developers are required to comply as part of their land lease agreement. During design and construction project teams will be required to report the status of their project’s sustainability certification, material use and waste program. Following occupancy, facility data related to such issues as water and energy use shall be reported and made available publically.

7 Fulmer, Jeffrey (2009). "What in the world is infrastructure?” PEI Infrastructure Investor (July/August): 30–32.



Public infrastructure likewise will be developed with sustainability criteria and certification metrics. Infrastructure systems shall be optimally resilient against all natural and man-made disasters through the implementation of such strategies as: redundancy of systems, spare materials, maintenance regimen, perimeter security technology and staffing, structural mitigation for seismic, blast and progressive collapse resistance, fire department, police and emergency medical service, local sufficiency, especially in food and water supply and emergency preparedness communications and protocols.

Konza shall incorporate smart city technology to support its sustainability and resilience. Data such as traffic volumes, utility usage, material weights shall be monitored and used in the control of systems for greater efficiency and effectiveness. Relevant Smart City standards for considering other metrics should include ISO 37120, 37150, and 37151. Data will be processed and displayed through a Sustainability Dashboard for usable information. This information monitoring will enable a deeper understanding of the city’s operations to inform policy and decision-making. Important metrics will support energy, water, construction material resource and waste management, as well as life-cycle assessment and efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle resources.

3.0 VERTICAL INFRASTRUCTURE – BUILDINGS AND COMMUNITIES

Currently rating systems that certify entire new cities under construction are not available. There are rating systems that certify existing cities and are set up to evaluate existing city infrastructure and policies. In order to achieve a city-wide certification for Konza, components will be certified as they are built (infrastructure, buildings, campus, and districts within the city) and then once the city has been completed, the city as a whole can be rated under a system designed to evaluate an existing city. Certifying components as they are built ensures each component reaches the desired level of sustainability and that each component will contribute to the future city certification.

Portions of the city may be certified at the community scale. Rating systems are available to certify campus, neighborhoods, communities or smaller districts within a city. LEED for Neighborhood Development (ND) has been selected to certify these subsets of the city. Many community scale rating systems were evaluated for applicability at Konza. LEED ND was selected due to the ease of use, existing complimentary rating systems, and availability internationally without modification or set up of local verification bodies. Green Star for Communities is not currently available in Kenya, but will be considered in the future if it is adopted locally. Adopting Green Star for Communities locally would require a formal process with the Green Building Council of South Africa and Australia to create a regional version of the Green Star South Africa rating system and set up local third-party verification providers. LEED ND requires that buildings within the certification boundary meet minimum performance levels, which may include LEED certification or certification under other equivalent rating systems such as Green Star.

Sustainability guidelines have been established for all components of the city, and requirements for each component type are listed in the Sustainability Framework. Smaller components of the city will be expected to meet the larger scale component requirements in order to contribute to the overarching certification of these systems. For example, buildings will need to meet the appropriate LEED building scale rating system and the overarching LEED ND guidelines in order to contribute to future LEED ND certification of that portion of the city. All projects will not only have to meet the project specific rating system, but will also



have to meet the Envision criteria in order to contribute to the infrastructure certification for the city.

Buildings can be categorized into three major construction types – new construction of entire buildings, core and shell projects and interior tenant finish projects. LEED has rating systems for each of these specific areas. Each construction type is then further subdivided into LEED rating systems for specific building types. Guidance in selecting the appropriate rating system can be found in the Sustainability Framework. In addition to LEED, Green Star has four rating systems available in Kenya – Office, Retail, Multi-Unit Residential, and Public/Education. Each rating system has levels of achievement that benchmark performance compared to other buildings. Expected levels of achievement are part of the Sustainability Framework. The Konza Development Guidelines will be available in the One Stop Center for prospective developers.

As part of the permitting process, developers will be required to submit a Sustainability Compliance Plan with their application and document certification in order to receive a Certificate of Occupancy. Construction projects are also required to provide data gathered through the certification process as part of the permitting procedure at the KOTDA One Stop Center. Certification data will include project information, density, ongoing utility data for energy and water, material attributes, construction waste recycling and other tracking required by the city dashboard.

4.0 HORIZONTAL INFRASTRUCTURE – CITY SYSTEMS

Horizontal infrastructure not only services vertical infrastructure, but it also provides an essential city-wide backbone. Community resilience rests, in part, on a comprehensive system allowing business and society to function. For example, it brings safe water, removes wastes, provides power, and it manages storm runoff. Without these essential services, investment and commerce would grind to a halt, and residents would experience health and safety risks. The world is full of examples of conventional infrastructure that performs well. The Konza Sustainability Framework seeks to add value to conventional infrastructure by sustainable and resilient design suited to the Konza context

4.1 INVESTORS REQUIRE SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE

A new asset class is emerging from international funding and development agencies. Sustainable infrastructure is being differentiated from conventional infrastructure for the purposes of lowering investment risk, reinsurance demands, social responsibility, and increasing return on investment.

For example, the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Sustainable Services Policy seeks to “foster the use of urban assessment tools…and improved indicators to measure the sustainability of service delivery.”8 In a World Bank environment and natural resources global practice discussion paper, it states that “Improved environmental sustainability can also enhance the financing of … projects by helping agencies to meet the

8 USAID. 2013. Sustainable Service Delivery in an Increasingly Urbanized World. October. https://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1870/USAIDSustainableUrbanServicesPolicy.pdf



environmental requirements of financiers.”9 The International Finance Corporation (IFC) says that “IFC's Sustainability Framework, which includes the Performance Standards, applies to all investment and advisory clients whose projects go through IFC's initial credit review process.”10 In South Africa, a mayor suggested that it may be only a matter of time before these assets gain traction, given the long-term advantages of Sustainable Infrastructure.11

As sustainable infrastructure and community design evolves in a global sense, consultants, governments, financiers, and academic researchers have developed almost 1,000 sustainable infrastructure initiatives worldwide. These vary from frameworks and methodologies to design standards and rating systems. This underscores the state of the industry and the expectation that any new infrastructure take into account sustainability and resiliency. A key, then, to securing investment, notoriety, and credibility in terms of sustainable design is for owners to document processes (framework) and design choices for every project.

4.2 DOCUMENT FOR INVESTORS

KoTDA recognized the need to require sustainable design and to document it for the world to see. The Sustainability Framework describes this process and vetted a number of rating systems that could be practical for the Konza setting. The benefit of a rating system is that it is a comprehensive dossier of sustainable design processes, standards, and choices made by the owner/developer ─ so much so that some consulting firms routinely use sustainable infrastructure rating in every project. The vast majority of these projects are not certified or verified by their respective rating organizations, but are simply self-assessed and have sustainable features incorporated according to the rating system.

Documentation is key not only for infrastructure investors, but also for the certification and verification process for each rating system. While a number of rating systems certify anywhere in the world, a number of them do not. Those that do not recognize the importance of reviewers qualified in the local context and how inappropriate standards from Europe or North America, for example, might otherwise be. As such, there are no known infrastructure rating systems that certify projects in Kenya at this time. Envision, the rating system adopted for Konza, allows for self-assessment and its organization, the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) is interested in east Africa and is also developing a certification program in South America. Nearly 1,000 projects worldwide are using Envision to rate infrastructure. Every team designing/constructing infrastructure in Konza will be required by the Sustainability Framework and Sustainability Guidelines to use Envision. The following table displays the categories and criteria headings in Envision.

4.3 CITY BACKBONE SYSTEMS

The backbone infrastructure is not a series of individual projects, but a single system that is core to the business and social well-being of a city. Just as the body is more than the sum of its parts, cities function vibrantly because its components are connected. The connecting fabric we call horizontal infrastructure. The Konza Sustainability Framework recognizes that each infrastructure sector must be designed to service everything connected to it or influenced by it. These infrastructure sectors include:

Power grid and its components; Wastewater and its components; Solid waste and its components; Streets and their components; Information and communication technology (ICT) and its components; Green space and its components; Stormwater and its components; Drinking water and its components; and Governance and its components.

The documentation and of the sustainable design of each of these infrastructure systems will be the first of its kind on the African continent because no new cities have been planned/designed like Konza. All future component construction projects will be guided by the results of the original system design.

4.4 CRITICAL PATH TO RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE

As described above, the connecting fabric of a city is its horizontal infrastructure. We think in terms of the tensegrity model by the renowned architect and systems theorist Buckminster Fuller, where resiliency is achieved by this fabric of connections. An operational definition of resiliency is a) being able to bounce back after change or adversity and b) capable of preparing for, responding to, and recovering from difficult conditions. In the context of city infrastructure, resiliency is therefore:

Being connected to a social/economic system of cultural norms/values; Being connected to a built system that performs and serves society now and in the

future; A system that adapts and persists; and A system that recovers.

Sustainable design accounts for the ability of future generations to continue to have enough natural resources. In this way, a community is more resilient due to good design and planning. But infrastructure must also perform well and stand up to future natural and man-made disasters, threats, and changing conditions, such as:

Natural disasters; Drought; Food shortages; Climate change; and Unemployment.



4.5 GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION OF RESILIENT SYSTEMS

At Konza, resilient backbone infrastructure of the city system depends on following the Sustainability Guidelines cited in the Terms of Reference. Each developer team is required to take into account connections to the infrastructure system because the city will be designed and built out in components. For example, the team that designs a treatment plant must coordinate with the design of sewer main networks, with sludge disposal, with the phases of buildout, and flow rates/demands. In a similar fashion, the processing of solid waste may include landfills, recycling, composting, and the land and facilities supporting these essential city functions. At Konza, excellent ratings for sustainability and resiliency will be achieved by:

Exceeding local minimum standards; Improving the environment; Improving society; and Accounting for the function of the larger system and infrastructure sectors.



5.0 DATA GAPS FOR SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT DESIGN OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

As listed in the MINICT RFP12, one of the original goals is “to undertake a physical appraisal of the site based on visual inspection combined with desktop studies which will be supplemented where appropriate with additional material from published and other sources.” The expectations are to provide initial information for the following issues:

Topography; Meteorological data, including rainfall, prevailing winds, temperature and humidity,

cyclone risk etc. Watercourses and drainage; Geology and ground conditions; Significant natural vegetation; Ecologically sensitive habitat/ migration routes (if any); Sensitive archaeological sites or cultural heritage; Hydrology and drainage patterns, including flood protection issues; Soils and ground conditions, including any known seismological constraints and any

identified contamination constraints; Existing land use on site and adjacent to the site, including productive agricultural

areas, settlements and urban areas; Existing natural vegetation and landscape, including any sensitive areas for wildlife/

ecology; Identification of relevant statutory providers in the area; Identification of existing statutory supplies and infrastructure which surround or

traverse the site; Existing roads and other transport facilities; and Security issues/ any sensitivities in the SEZ that need to be considered, including

fencing of the SEZ, security controls and gates and buffer zones around security fence, where required.

Although visual inspection and desktop studies have been performed, the following discusses some of the key in-depth analyses that are required prior to design of the built environment.

5.1 GEOTECHNICAL

The appropriate scope of a geotechnical investigation is a function of the type of proposed land use or project, the soil/ geologic conditions of the project site, and type of permit or approval sought. There are typically two basic types of geotechnical studies: preliminary geotechnical reports and as-built or as-graded geotechnical reports. Geotechnical reports that address a proposed project are considered preliminary reports whether they address

12 Request for Proposals: TECHNICAL, REGULATORY AND INSTITUTIONAL EXPERTISE FOR THE STRUCTURING OF A PRIVATELY-LED SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE AT ATHI RIVER, KENYA



development or construction plans. Types of preliminary geotechnical reports include soils reports, geologic reconnaissance reports, geologic hazard investigations reports, geotechnical investigation reports, or many other types of focused geotechnical reports addressing a proposed project. Comprehensive geotechnical reports may sufficiently address all the requirements of the various permits that might be required by a project. No permits shall be issued where the geotechnical investigation establishes that land development or construction of structures would be unsafe due to geologic hazards. Issuance of a permit does not constitute a representation that the site or construction is safe.

Geotechnical investigation reports should focus on the specific type of land use or project that is proposed. Proposed projects can be broadly divided into Development (entitlement) and Construction projects. Development projects typically require discretionary approval and often involve public hearings. Construction projects require ministerial permits. Examples of geotechnical report content can be found at this link http://www.sandiego.gov/development-services/pdf/industry/geoguidelines.pdf KTC’s One-Stop Center would track the permitting and geotechnical results of each project, thereby compiling a geospatial registry of subsurface conditions and an overall geologic hazard map. Although it has been reported that the “black cotton soil” (i.e., a vertisol soil that typically contains a high content of expansive clay known as montmorillonite) has been removed from the areas of proposed built environment, KURA reported underlying swelling soils. The characteristics and extent of the subsurface soils, and the characteristics of site bedrock should be investigated to develop a site fence diagram for providing more specific details in required geotechnical reports.

5.2 SITE HYDROLOGY

Currently, there is not a rain gauge at the KTC site and estimates of design precipitation events will come from Nairobi and Machakos standards. While this might serve preliminary and conceptual models, more accurate and timely data will be required for specific durations and intensities of precipitation events. These data will then populate the master site hydrologic model that will govern any changes in as-built topography.

The groundwater was similarly researched by observing a few local boreholes where Pell Frischmann (2011) reported that groundwater is not uniformly distributed and that potential at the site is moderate to poor with quality that was described as “generally good”, but also reported that the water was relatively high in fluoride, chloride, and manganese salts. Aquifer water quality, potentiometric surface, rapid drawdown analyses, and logging of all future boreholes should be conducted immediately.

5.3 FLORA/FAUNA ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE

Pell Frischmann reported all desktop studies of site flora and fauna13, including migration routes. These data help to establish environmental baselines for future Environmental Impact Reports, but also, the adaptation strategies for new migration routes that provide the fauna safe and sustainable access around KTC need to be included in all master planning documents.

13 Pell Frischman Report: Baseline Data Section 4



5.4 METEOROLOGICAL

A site weather station is required for site conditions. In particular, if any wind power will be considered for future energy projects, either city wide or for building sites, an anemometer is required and at least a year’s worth of data (15 minute interval readings or more frequent) to provide necessary data for wind velocity, duration, and direction.

Site energy modeling of buildings requires accurate and site specific temperature data. The temperature data from the Pell Frischmann report was located at Nairobi weather stations.

5.5 STANDARD OF ‘GREEN MATERIALS’ IN KENYA

While there is an array of materials that provide definitions and lists of environmentally superior building materials, i.e. ‘green materials’; what is needed is a summary document of what is considered as green materials in the Kenyan context. As cement and masonry skills are readily available and advanced, respectively, and the widespread use of natural stone may provide some context for sustainable construction in Kenya. As the bulk materials for all construction projects are to be tracked, an environmental proxy number can be assigned per mass or volume to determine each materials life-cycle environmental contribution to energy requirements and equivalent carbon emissions. For example, although based on United Kingdom production and transportation industry standards, the Inventory of Carbon and Energy (ICE) provides very reasonable proxy numbers for cradle-to-gate scenarios for construction materials.14

5.6 STANDARDS (CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS)

As sustainable and resilient construction require the design of the components to be ‘better than baseline code’, it is essential to outline what is considered baseline code for all built environment structural requirements and construction practices. Similarly, all codes should reference similar codes for material requirements.

Certification Overlay / Vertical Infrastructure

“It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly.”

-Martin Luther King Jr.

City Certification

• There are no sustainability rating systems to certify full scale cities under construction.

• ISO 37120 has comprehensive metrics as a guide for the dashboard, but is not a certification

• Community scale rating systems evaluated:– Portions of the city may be certified at a community scale, then

certified as a whole use a rating system designed for existing cities

– LEED ND selected due to ease of use, availability internationally and complimentary systems

– Green Star for Communities not currently available in Kenya but may be considered in the future

17

Rating System Evaluation

18

Relationship Between Vertical & Horizontal Built Environment

• Built environment– Horizontal

• Infrastructure connecting vertical built environment

– Vertical• Individual lots/parcels serviced by

horizontal infrastructure• Buildings

– Specialized rating systems• Horizontal Infrastructure - Envision• Parcels and Communities – LEED for

Neighborhood Development (ND)• Buildings – LEED or Green Star

19

The Konza Sustainability Framework orchestrates linkages between the vertical and horizontal built environment.

Project Types / Requirements

• Each project type has its own unique set of requirements– Infrastructure Systems will be certified under Envision and smaller projects

within those systems must meet Envision guidelines and LEED ND guidelines

– City Districts and Campus projects will be certified under LEED ND as they are built out. Infrastructure within the boundary must meet Envision guidelines

– Buildings have unique rating systems based on construction type and project type. Buildings must be certified according to the matrix in the Sustainability Framework that outlines rating system and achievement levels. Buildings are also required to meet the relevant sections of Envision and LEED ND that apply to the site and building itself.

20

Campus and Neighborhoods

• Community Scale Certification– Campus projects will be required to

certify under LEED ND– It is desirable to certify districts within

the city as they are completed, projects within these districts will happen over time and will need to comply with LEED ND in order to contribute to the larger overarching certification which they are a part of.

– LEED ND requires buildings within community to meet minimum standards which may include LEEDcertification or certification under other equivalent rating systems such as Green Star

21

Vertical Infrastructure - Buildings

• Individual Building Rating Systems Organized by Construction Type– New Construction– Core and Shell– Interior Tenant Finishes

• Buildings: LEED levels/types and Green Star– LEED has many specific rating systems based on both

construction and building type– Green Star only has 4 approved systems that may be used in

Kenya – Office, Retail, Multi-Unit Residential and Public Education

– Each rating system has levels of achievement– Data collection is required as part of the documentation process

for certification

22

Tracking / Metrics

• Data is tracked through the documentation process for certification– Construction projects are required to provide data as part of the

permitting process– Share data with the KOTDA One Stop Center

• Project information, density• Utility data for energy and water use• Materials – variety of metrics• Construction waste recycling

– Additional materials tracking is also required as part of the city dashboard

23

Horizontal Infrastructure / City Systems

“A system must consist of three kinds of things: elements, interconnections, and a function or purpose.”

-Donella Meadows

Investors Require Sustainable Infrastructure• USAID Sustainable Services Policy

– “Foster the use of urban assessment tools…and improved indicators to measure the sustainability of service delivery”

• World Bank– “Improved environmental sustainability can also enhance the financing of …

projects by helping agencies to meet the environmental requirements of financiers.”

• International Finance Corporation– “IFC's Sustainability Framework, which includes the Performance Standards,

applies to all investment and advisory clients whose projects go through IFC's initial credit review process”

• Sustainable Infrastructure - A New Asset Class– “The Mayor of Tshwane, South Africa…, Kgosientose Ramokgopa, suggested

that it may be only a matter of time before these assets gain traction, given the long-term advantages of Sustainable Infrastructure.” – Global Energy Basel Sustainable Infrastructure Financing Forum and Summit 21-23 January 2015 Plenary E.
