Punjab is facing alarming threats of urbanization, however, the phenomenon is being consideredpositively and in response, the Govemment of the Punjab is envisaging to tap the potential ofurbanization in the province. When the Motorway (M2) Corridor linking Islamabad and Lahorewas planned, it was aspired to have some l1 new industrial towns along its length. However, thisidea could not be matured due to various reasons. Now the GoPb aims to initiate the developmentopportunities along the Motorway corridor. Furthermore, the post-development context of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) enhances the potential of developing new towns thatcapitalize economic development in the province. In this context, there exists a dire need toinvestigatc properly proposed/selected site in the province of Punjab where the GoPb can initiateurban-industrial development that can bring economic and physical advantages to other locations.

The Planning and Development Department, Govemment of the Punjab, Pakistan has thereforeassigned The Urban Sector Planning and Management Unit (The Urban Unit) to act as the ProjectManagement Unit for the "Feasibility Studies and Master Planning for Development of a NewEconomic City in Punjab, Pakistan".

The "Feasibility Studies and Master Planning for Development of a New Economic City inPunjab, Pakistan" will need to have regional focus and include short to long-term action andfinancing plans. Intemational consulting firms having expertise in this regard are being invited tosubmit Expressions of Interest for the same.

PROJECT INTRODUCTIONThe New City project was initiated and being funded by the Government of Punjab (GoPb),

Pakistan. The Urban Sector Policy and Management Services Unit (USPMU), Pakistan(commonly known as "The Punjab Urban Unit" website (www.urbanunit.gov.pk) is a public

sector corporate consulting concern having a diverse strcngth in sectors like urban planning,

architecture, urban design, GIS/RS, environment, institutional development, and capacity

building. For this particular project, the GoPb mandates the Urban Unit to act as a Project

Management Unit (PMU) to assist and provide supervision for all consultancy services arising indue course of studies required New City viz-a-viz. pre-feasibility, feasibility, detailed master

planning, institutional design, engineering design and development phases for this new cityproject.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The increased urbanization has overburdened the existing cities specifically in the province ofPunjab. Yct urbanization offers various opportunities for the economic growth. Realising the

stated facts, the Govemment of Punjab has initiated for development of a new urban industrial

agglomeration on world class standards in Punjab. Initially a site was selected for the

development of a new city along the Motorway (M2) corridor near Lillah interchange located 210

Km from Lahore. Motorway M2 is a 370 km long 6 lane inter-city highway connecting Pakistan's

national capital Islamabad with Lahore and was planned in early 1990's with a vision to develop

some eleven new industrial towns on it but none has been materialized till today. The proposed

city would have the largest industrial cluster [zone] in the country with high-end supportive urban

infrastructure and to house around 2 million inhabitants and offering them diverse work'live-

leisurc opportunities.

Howcver, during the course of projcct planning and deliberations, it was decided by the

Government of the Punjab to not only specifically look at one sitc on the M2 but also det€rmine

the potential of orher competitive sites as well on which a New City could be developed. For this,

initially a Prefeasibility for New City was carried out by an intemational consulting firm with an

objective to prioritize the potential sites for the development of othel new towns within Punjab.

The Prefeasibility Study has been completed in the month of March 2017. The prefeasibility

covercd Baseline Market and Demand Analysis; Identifiing optimal Sites (site comparison);

Proposed implementation, Financial Model, and Expected Impacts in the form of a consolidated

Prefeasibility Report. A further Assessment and Calibration study is underway to review and re-

assess the results arrived at in the first study. This study and subsequent finalization of site is

expected to be completed by the end ofDecember 2017. The tentative size of area ofNEC may

be around 400 Km'. In view thereof, the Govemment ofPunjab intends to hire two leading firms

(Onc lntemational and onc National level) under separate contracls with different assignments.

However, both the firms shall be conducting Feasibility Studies and Master Planning related

assignments in close liaison, for a coherent and integrated planning, as per their scope that has

been advertised and published separately. The Intemational firm shall be responsible for few parts

of Feasibility studies and complete Master Planning of the proposed city. All the lnternational

firms, with experience in conducting Feasibilities & Master Planning for development of the new

Cities and integrated SEZs in developing and emerging countries, are invitcd to bid under this

standards and volumetric analysis done for the infrastructure development, cost

Exprcssion of Interesl 2017 l3

EOI- FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND MASTER PLANNING FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW ECONOMIC CITY INPUNJAE, PAKISTAN

i. Development Cost AssumptionsThe Consultants will develop cost assumptions by developing preliminarydevelopment strategies and applying defensible unit, or other, cost estimates toquantified development programs allocated and discounted on an annual basisover the projected life ofthe project. Note: At this point in the Financial Analysis,it is assumed that the Project Developer will be responsible for all costs, and theClient is not responsible for any costs of Development. However, the Consultantsshould develop scenarios if:

i. The government builds enabling/catalytic infrastructure as its owncost and later the private sector investment and development starts;

ii. If the government only regulates the overall development and theprivate sector only complies with the development and investment;and

iii. If the public-private partnership mode is activated and developmentand investment goes on incremental basis as per the private sectordemand;

iv. Assumptions for selecting a best suitable/feasible model for landsupply/acquisition

v. Assumptions for setting up suitable types of industrial developmentfor this city based on raw material, marketability, human and capitalresources availability, land suitability and availability, environmentalcosts ofproduction processes like Carbon Credits

vi. Development of a comprehensive business case for city (inclusiveof housing, leisure, industry, business and other urban services)

vii. The Consultants to assess development cost for1. Overall city development2. Catalytic development projects

All the assumptions used in the financial analysis along with basis shall be

elaborated. The Consultants shall also develop matrix of project risks includingmarket risk, financial risk, developmental risk, and other project externalities andsuggested mitigation measures. The Consultants shall undertake necessarysensitivity analysis for various scenarios including most probable and mostpessimistic scenarios.The cost assumptions shall include rough order of magnitude cost estimates forthe following categories, at the minimum:

Expression of Inlerest 2017 l5

EOI_ FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND MASTER PLANNING FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW ECONOMIC CITY IN

PUNIAB, PAKISTAN

The Consultants will develop revenue and cost recovery assumptions for allaspects of the Project Development Plan. Notwithstanding the currentfragmentation of land ownership, it is important to understand the potentialdevelopment revenues of the entire Project Area lands, individually and inaggregate, as though there were one master developer undertaking the entireproject. In this regard, it will be necessary to develop and document justifiableassumptions and project revenue and cost recovery estimates for the following:. Sales revenue relating to the vertical development of all residential

buildings. Such projections are to follow the market study conclusions and a

phasing plan reflecting defensible absorption assumptions;. Sales revenues relating to the vertical development of all commercial

buildings assuming defined lease and market rates. Such projections are to followthe market study conclusions and a phasing plan reflecting defensible absorption

assumptions;. Potential grants or subsidies from senior levels of govemment or other

sources; and. Potential sale of unneeded development rights, easements or access to

private parties

iii. Financial Modelling

The cost and revenue assumptions, streams and projections developed accordingto the foregoing must be incorporated into financial models. Four models are

required in total - two scenarios for each of two Stages. (Stage I & Build-out).The first scenario is to consist of the Consultant's best estimate of the truefinancial potential of the Project Development Plan. This is to be augmented by apessimistic scenario that reflects a "slow start" compared to the plan. A "slowstart" is dehned as slower than anticipated absorption of residential and

commercial units due to adverse market conditions.Each Model will, at a minimum, be created with Microsoft Excel. Concise notes

to explain variables, inputs and results will be provided; reflect the entireprojected life of the project with revenues and costs allocated in annual

increments; be sufficiently detailed so as to independently portray a reasonable

understanding of the City Development Plan, timing/phasing of individualelements/projects and key assumptions used; be intemally consistent with respect

to key assumptions used within the same scenarios' be robustly dynamic whereby

numerous key assumptions can be changed with immediate effect on results.

Examples of such required flexibility would include, but not be limited to:. Revenues and costs per square foot;. Adding, amending or deleting items in infrastructure cost summaries;. Costs estimated as a percentage ofrevenues (e.g. sales commissions);. Timing of specific buildings, infrastructure or other plan elements;. Project and structured financing terms;. Cap rates; and

Exprcssion of lnteresl 2017 16

EOI- FEASIBILIrY STUDIES AND MASTER PIr'.NNING FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW ECONOMIC CITY NPUNIAB, PAKISTAN

Etc.

The Financial model should reflect the financial Indicators: Payback period, IRR,NPV, Profitability Ratio, CBR etc. Provide annual and cumulative cash flows thatsummarize inflows, outflows and net cash flow; provide the application ofpotentially complex financing assumptions at the vertical and horizontal projectlevels; provide a meaningful integration of development statistics with financialprojections; provide residual land values associated with all residential andcommercial vertical projects - and compare such values to current marketcomparable; and provide report and a meaningful one-page summary of findingsand results.iv. FinancialViabilityAssessmentBased on the Financial Models, the Consultants shall summarize and discuss thefinancial viability and risks associated with the Baseline Conceptual Plan. Thisopinion shall form the basis of the consultants' recommendation to the Client tofurther carry on the project appraisal. The consultants shall also calculating rate ofretum under the various revenue assumptions and financing scenarios besidesconducting break-even and sensitivity analysis; identifying potential sources andmethods of funding various costs including short and long-term; preparing thehnancing plan and developing the commercial package.For building and operating a municipal service e.g. transport orte lccommunication, perform tasks of:. Investigating market rates, a survey of residential demand, Engineering study

to get the cost of building transport station / building telecom network,analysis of other costs ofproviding and operating the service.

network, hybrid network i.e. who would be the provider of service and itsimplications. This would determine discounts on market rates (if any) and

market penetration rates.. Identi& the best model that would generate sufficient revenues to make bond

payments.. Quantiff any risks involved.. Mention financing e.g. bond financing, or revenue bonds or other means of

appropriate financing. Identifz with interest rates and the spread as the best

possible option/s. Financing requirement for the cost of creating wholesale or retail business.. Identi& through market survey the households willing to pay for a municipal

service if offered at Iower prices. Would there be a profit motive?. How can the city rctire its debt?. Identi& the ability ofa facility to sustain operations with direct income.. Perform Cash flow and Proforma analysis:

Establish estimates of capital costs, operating costs and revenues for provision

of the above in the NEC which could be subject to change. Include revenue

sharing assumptions over a (Mention the number of years of the NEC

development completion and final phase, 25 is an example here) 25-year

period that assumes a partnership scenario

A complete business case and detailed costing analysis will need to be

undertaken by the City and / or a second party prior to selecting preferred

options for new facilities.

Under proposed capital costs mention e.g. the cost of constructing a new

building given its purpose, whether equipment will be rented or purchased and

therefore is included as part of the fixtures, fumishing and equipment, interest

rates, etc.

Include estimated cost of land based on per sq. ft.

The proportion ofcapital costs which can be covered by development charges

will depend on growth-related needs and the amount that the City can allocate

to a new facility. There may be other opportunities for the municipality to

reduce its financing requirements (e.g. fundraising and donations).

If the city cannot raise all of the required money to construct the facilitythrough its municipal reserves, development charge revenue, grants,

fundraising, partnerships or other sources, it will need to borrow money. Inwhich case, give hypothetical funding scenarios.

Determine the expected return on investment (ROI) under various funding

scenarios.

Funding scenarios:

Potential sources of development funding

Estimates of year I of operations excluding debt financing: revenues,

operating costs, profit deficit.

Estimates including debt financing: year I of operations' profit/deficit,anticipated 25-year business/building/service provision Retum on Investment(RoI) (NPV).

For the said service provision or business, the city could generate estimated

profit/loss (net present value).

What is the most financially feasible option?

How much the city can incur approximate deficit. In year one and over a 25

year period, providing it is able to finance the facility largely through itsmunicipal reseryes, development charge revenue and grants and/or private

partnership contributions.

If the City is able to obtain enough public and /or private sector funding tocover halfofthe construction costs, identiff the net cost i.e. deficit in the case.
