1 Introduction
With the main goal of ‘People in the programme districts have improved livelihoods’, the Local Roads Bridge
Programme (LRBP) is being executed by Government of the Nepal and respective states with the support and
Technical Assistance from Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). In the context of the
Programme, the Local Road Bridge Support Unit (LRBSU) has been providing the support to the LRBP. Now,
the Local Roads Bridge Support Unit, (herein after referred to as the “LRBSU" or the “Client”), intends to utilize
services of independent consultant or engineering consulting firms well experienced in bridge engineering
(herein after referred to as the “Consultant”) for providing engineering consulting services for the
“Geotechnical Expert Services” done in- house by LRBSU.

In this context, this proposal has been prepared and submitted in response to the Terms of References (ToR)
provided by Local Road Bridge Support Unit (LRBPSU) for the geotechnical expert services.

2 Objective / Scope of Works

The main objective of this Geotechnical Expert Services is
• To review Geo-technical investigation reports to summarize the required geotechnical parameters to
be used for bridge design,
The scope of this assignment is
• Review of Geo-technical investigation reports and provide professional comments so that required
geotechnical parameters can be used for bridge design.
• The expert will go to the sites and regional offices of LRBSU and interact with the field staffs to
enhance their capacity, if required

3 Approach
- Prepare Review Reports containing Comments on the provided Geotechnical reports by
geotechnical firms with recommendations for initiating bridge design.
- Perform geo-technical analysis as slope stability, foundation design as and when required.
- Visit project sites and regional offices of LRBSU and interact with the field staffs to enhance
their capacity, if required

4 Key Expert
Geotechnical Engineer with PhD in civil/geo-environmental engineering and master in geotechnical
engineering with more than 15 years professional experiences in the field of civil and geotechnical/geo-
environmental engineering has been proposed for this assignment. The proposed key expert has extensive
experiences in geotechnical investigation works, analysis and foundation design for bridges. He has also
developed geotechnical guidelines for bridge foundations. The CV of Geotechnical Engineer is included in this
technical proposal.

5 Time duration
A total duration of approximately 80 days has been proposed to complete this assignment which will start from
the date of issuing work order.
