Key Requirements

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
