Applicants understanding of the objectives and challenges of this project. Do
not include statements that commit the team to any particular design or
construction approach. Rather, describe how the DB team would be
December 2015
27

structured to best manage their activities and satisfy the needs of the Project.
The following shall be included as a minimum in the proposed conceptual
management plan:
A discussion of how the design and construction processes interface

and how the proposed organization will function (e.g., design,

to mitigate these risks.
The intended approach or plan for establishing and maintaining

quality control in prosecuting the work, both design and construction.
The proposed conceptual management plan shall be limited to fifteen (15) pages.
D.
Preliminary Proposal Evaluation Process
The Preliminary Proposal (prequalification) process is intended to enable Proposers to

demonstrate their qualifications to perform the Project and enable Dubai Municipality to
evaluate those qualifications in arriving at a shortlist of firms to whom Requests for Final
Proposals will be issued. Preliminary Proposals should include specific information that will
demonstrate the Proposers qualifications and experience relevant to the Project
requirements. The format for the presentation of such information is described in Section I.
It is not the intent of Dubai Municipality to receive Project-specific design or engineering
recommendations as part of the Preliminary Proposal.
Preliminary Proposals will be evaluated to determine whether the design-build team has met
the minimum requirements specified as indicated in Section III. The Preliminary Proposals
from teams that meet the minimum eligibility requirements will then be evaluated and ranked
based on the design-build teams qualifications and plans in the categories described below.
The relative weight of each category is also provided.
The qualifications and performance history of the design-build team in completing other
recent, similar projects - 30%.
The professional qualifications and experience of the key individuals of the design-build
team to be assigned to the Project - 25%.
The conceptual management plan of the design-build team approach to manage the
design and construction of the Project 35%.
The safety programs established and the safety performance of the design-build JV
partners or major firms - 10%.
Dubai Municipality reserves the right to conduct an independent investigation of any

information, including prior experience, identified in an Initial Proposal by contacting project
references, accessing public information, contacting independent parties, or any other
December 2015
28

means. Dubai Municipality further reserves the right to request additional information from a
Proposer during the evaluation of the Proposers Initial Proposal.
E.
Final Proposal Evaluation Process
A Request for Final Proposals (RFP) will be extended to the design-build teams that are
selected as finalists during the Preliminary Proposal phase. These finalists will be provided
with detailed requirements for the preparation and submittal of the Final Proposal comprised
of technical and price proposals. These requirements will include identification of specific
criteria for design and construction of the Project.
The Dubai Municipality will prepare a Geotechnical Baseline Report (GBR-B) defining
anticipated geotechnical conditions for tunnel and shafts. The report will be provided in the
RFP and may be modified during the Final Proposal development process (GBR-C).
Final Proposals must be responsive to the criteria identified in the RFP. Proposers will be
given a reasonable amount of time to understand the preliminary design and contract
requirements before confidential collaboration meetings with each team will be held to
discuss the technical aspects of the work thoroughly and establish an environment that
supports innovative approaches by each DB team and to seek clarification and suggest
changes to the criteria prior to submission of the Final Proposal.
Final Proposals will be evaluated for aspects that are judged to be fundamentally
incompatible with the Project objectives, including those that are considered exceptionally
risky or likely to cause Project failure. Final Proposals that are deemed unlikely to meet the
following minimum criteria may be deemed nonresponsive and rejected without further
evaluation:
Provisions for a safe working environment
Provisions for adequate prevention and control of water intrusion to underground work
spaces
Successful completion of the Project in an acceptable time frame
Compliance with environmental stipulations and permit conditions
The criteria and respective weighting for each criterion to be used in the Final Proposal
selection process will be provided in the RFP. While the Dubai Municipality reserves the
right to adjust the criteria and relative weights at any time prior to issuing the RFP, it is
anticipated that Final Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the following general
criteria and percentage weighting for each criterion:
Proposed Price (45%). The total proposed price to deliver the completed Project,
including without limitation design, equipment, materials, labor, project management,
administration, overhead, and profit.
Design and Construction Plan (45%). The plan for design and construction of the
Project, including development of the design drawings and specifications and definition
of the means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures of construction, in
sufficient detail to establish the basis for the proposed price. This plan should describe
the Project elements in sufficient detail and clarity, with drawings and specifications, to
confirm the locations, shapes, dimensions, durability, and reliability of the tunnels,
shafts and the other various elements proposed to be constructed to meet the Project
requirements. This plan also should define practical and effective means to control
December 2015
29

water intrusion to underground work spaces, define the intended method for TBM cutter
head interventions, define excavated material handling and disposal processes, define
the intended method of temporary support and achieving water tightness of shafts,
define the intended method for interconnection of adjacent construction shafts if
required,, the connection between at Sheikh Zayed Road construction shaft (Contract
DS 233-02) at Interchange No. 10 with the Contract DS233-03 construction shaft
adjacent to, and other relevant and significant design or construction activities.
Management Plan (10%). The management plan to be applied by the design-build

team members, vendors, and subcontractors in accomplishment of the Project. This
plan should describe the details of the teams organizational structure, identify a clear
and logical schedule for key activities, demonstrate an understanding of the schedule
critical path for the Project, explain how the Project will be coordinated with construction
of the pumping station, power supply facilities, and other associated facilities, explain
how impacts to existing Dubai Municipality operations will be avoided, describe work
site safety procedures, identify hazards and actions to mitigate risks associated with the
details of the proposed design and expected geologic conditions, provide for
compliance with all environmental stipulations and permit conditions, and describe
quality control procedures.
Evaluation may include interviews with Proposers to clarify understanding of the Final
Tender Proposal.

SECTION V. SCOPE OF WORKS

1. Description of the Works
Introduction
Last decade, before the 2008 economic crisis, Dubai has experienced an unprecedented
boom. The industrial, commercial and residential real estate sectors have expanded at a
rapid pace. Due to the speed and scale of this development, Dubai Municipality (DM) did not
take direct control of the entire associated infrastructure. Rather, Dubai expanded through a
combination of development projects that remained under the responsibility of DM as well as
private developers.
The economic crisis of 2008 led to a slowdown in the development of Dubai. Many
developments grounded to a complete halt. Post crisis, development has resumed although
at a slower pace. In order to reflect the changing scenarios in the master plan, DM decided
that it was an appropriate time to produce a new Master Plan for Dubai to the year 2025. The
current Master Plan provides for improvement of stormwater management across the emirate
of Dubai. The DS233 Deep Tunnel Storm Water System (DTSWS) has been proposed to
collect and convey storm water from the DWC area and adjacent communities to the sea.
Scope of Work
DTSWS is intended to collect and convey groundwater and stormwater runoff from the DWC
area (about 135 km2) and adjacent communities (about 245 km2). In addition, the emergency
Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) from the Jebel Ali Sewage Treatment Plant (JA STP) will
also be conveyed by the system to be discharged through a sea outfall. The overall Project
layout of the project is shown in Figure 1. The main components of the project are
conveyance tunnels, construction and drop shafts, a network of pipelines, connecting
chambers to the shafts, a terminal pumping station, detention pond and lifting station and a
sea outfall. The project as presently envisioned is divided into four (4) design-build tender
packages. The tender packages are:
Contract DS 233-01
Pumping Station (30m3/s capacity), a screen and gate
structure (Construction Shaft), an overflow structure and an approximately 600m long
sea outfall, consisting of three 2000mm outfall pipes.
Contract DS 233-02
Main Tunnel along D-53 road, minimum 9m diameter tunnel
approximately 12,000m long; and five (5) construction / drop shafts; and connection
chambers at the shafts (for future pipeline connections DS233-04, by others).
Contract DS 233-03
Lateral Tunnel along Shaikh Zayed Road and Jebel Ali
Lehbab Road, minimum 9m diameter tunnels, approximately 11,150m long; five
construction / drop shafts; one shaft for trenchless connections, and connection
chambers at the shafts (for future pipeline connections DS233-04, by others).
December 2015
64

Contract DS 233-04
Pipelines, a network of 1m 3m diameter stormwater
pipelines, approximately 125 km in total pipe length which will connect to the deep
tunnels (DS233-02, DS233-03) and 1m 2.4m diameter TSE pipeline approximately
104 km in total length and a 95 ha detention pond and associated 3 m 3/s lift station.
The proposed works under this design-build tender package; Contract DS 233-03, as
mentioned above consist of the following key elements:
Lateral Tunnel
9m ID, 11,150 m
Construction Shafts
3, converted later to drop shafts
Drop Shafts
Microtunnel Launch Shaft and trenchless connection
Connecting Chambers
Tunnel Connection Stub Connect to Contract DS 233-02 Tunnel at Interchange No.

10 at Sheikh Zayed Road
Near surface structures connected to shafts
Tunnel will convey the stormwater and groundwater flows from the DWC area at the
intersection of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Jebel Ali Lehbab Road (DWC north
outfall) and follow beneath the road easement along the Jebel Ali Lehbab Road and Sheikh
Zayed Road (SZR) terminating at SZR Interchange no. 10. The Tunnel connects to the main
tunnel (separate contract, DS 233-02) to the sea at the SZR IC 10 (intersection of D-53 and
Sheikh Zayed Road).
The current design has been prepared to the preliminary design level. Final design is to be
carried out by the design-build contractor and shall include, but not limited to:
Additional geotechnical investigations
Hydraulic design
Physical modelling of the drop shafts.
Preparation of GBR-C
Tunnel and construction shafts design and construction
Drop shaft structures design and construction
Connecting Structure design and construction
Gate design and construction to regulate flows
Instrumentation and controls for the conveyance system
Detailed specifications and drawings

connect to the tunnel. The design-build contractor is responsible for its means and
methods, however it is anticipated that the tunnels will be constructed using the TBM
method. The design-build contractor will design the construction (drop) and drop shafts.
The design and hydraulic performance of the tunnel and drop shafts shall be confirmed
by a physical model.
The short connections between the main tunnel and the lateral tunnel (Contract 233-03)
and the screen/gate structure (Contract 233-01) will likely be excavated using sequential
excavation methods.
In general, it is anticipated that the bored tunnels will be lined with precast segments
and shafts and the connecting tunnels will be lined with in-situ reinforced concrete.
Secondary lining may be required due to the corrosiveness of the groundwater, the
service life requirement, hydrostatic loads, and/or to prevent scouring, as needed. The
design-build contractor shall be responsible for the design of the lining systems.
III.
Disposal of Spoil
The design-build contractor shall make his own arrangements for the disposal of the
tunnel spoils or muck in accordance with environmental regulations.
IV.
Connecting Structures
Connecting structures will be required just below the ground surface to collect the flows
from the stormwater pipelines (by others) and to convey the flows into the drop structure.
Gates or weir structures will be needed to control flows entering the conveyance tunnels.
V.
Operation and Maintenance Manuals

Fully detailed Operation and Maintenance Manuals shall be provided by the design build
contractor for all equipment installed under this contract. Civil engineering works will
clearly describe the operation of all systems. The manufacturer and reference of all plant
and equipment for the various components of the system, the frequency and detail of the
inspections and maintenance of the system will be provided.
The items to be included in these manuals shall include but not necessarily be restricted
to the following:
Monitoring and control instruments and transmitters
Telemetry equipment
Tunnel inspection and inspection equipment
