anticipate future intersection improvements or capacity expansion. The land use analysis shall inform Right of Way requirements and shall be documented in the Preliminary Engineering Design Report to guide future access management needs during detailed design and implementation planning. The level of design detail in all Preliminary Engineering Design deliverables shall be sufficient to freeze the Right of Way corridor for land acquisition planning, to define the Employer's Requirements for the future FIDIC Plant & Design-Build (Yellow Book) contract, to generate preliminary quantities for cost estimation with twenty percent accuracy, and to support rigorous economic evaluation using HDM-4 with reliable road characteristic parameters. The Preliminary Engineering Design shall demonstrate that the recommended solution is technically feasible, economically viable, environmentally acceptable, and socially sustainable. Specifically, the design documentation shall be complete and self-contained such that Kenya National Highways Authority can proceed to Design – Build procurement without requiring additional investigations or design development beyond the Contractor's detailed design responsibilities under FIDIC Sub-Clause 5.1. 4.2.11 Fibre Optic Connectivity Technical and Economic Feasibility The Consultant shall conduct comprehensive Technical and Economic Feasibility Studies for fibre optic cabling infrastructure to be installed along the project road corridor. The feasibility studies shall determine whether fibre optic infrastructure installation is technically viable, economically justified, commercially sustainable, and compliant with regulatory requirements. The studies shall be conducted in accordance with ICT Authority of Kenya technical standards for national fibre optic infrastructure, International Telecommunication Union Recommendations (particularly ITU-T L.35 for installation of optical fibre cables in road infrastructure and ITU-T G.652.D for single-mode fibre characteristics), the Kenya Information and Communications Act (Cap 411A), and Communications Authority of Kenya licensing and interconnection regulations governing open-access infrastructure. The Consultant shall conduct detailed route reconnaissance and Outside Plant surveys to assess the physical feasibility of fibre optic installation along the road corridor. The surveys shall document terrain characteristics including topography, soil types, rock outcrops, water crossings, and vegetation that may affect duct installation methods and costs. The surveys shall identify and map all existing utilities and infrastructure within the road corridor including power transmission lines, telecommunications cables, water pipelines, sewer lines, oil and gas pipelines, and any other underground or overhead infrastructure that may constrain fibre duct placement or create construction conflicts. The surveys shall be conducted in close coordination with the ICT Authority, Kenya Power, telecommunications operators, water utilities, and other infrastructure owners to obtain accurate information on existing facilities and planned future installations. The Consultant shall analyse the availability and condition of any existing telecommunications civil works infrastructure along the corridor that might be utilized for the Section 7. Terms of Reference 27 project, assessing whether existing civil works have sufficient spare capacity, meet current required minimal technical standards, and are accessible under reasonable commercial terms. Where existing civil works infrastructure is inadequate or unavailable, the Consultant shall design new civil works installations integrated with the road civil works. The civil works design shall specify duct sizes, materials, burial depths, protection measures, and installation methods appropriate for the road construction methodology and soil conditions. The design shall provide for multiple ducts to accommodate future capacity expansion and shall include access chambers at appropriate intervals for cable installation, maintenance, and network branching. The Consultant shall evaluate all environmental and regulatory constraints affecting fibre optic infrastructure deployment. The evaluation shall assess requirements for environmental impact licensing, wayleave permits, spectrum licensing if wireless backhaul is proposed, interconnection agreements with existing network operators, and compliance with ICT Authority technical standards. The evaluation shall identify any protected areas, cultural heritage sites, or environmentally sensitive zones along the corridor where special installation methods or routing adjustments may be required. The Consultant shall coordinate with the Environmental and Social Safeguards specialists to ensure that fibre optic infrastructure deployment is incorporated into the project Environmental and Social Management Plan. The Consultant shall develop preliminary network architecture defining the technical configuration of the fibre optic network. The architecture shall specify whether the network
