The corporation was introduced by amalgamating the three former Public Enterprises,
viz. Water Works Design and Supervision Enterprise (WWDSE), Building Design
Enterprise, and Transport Construction Design Enterprise mainly provide engineering
consultancy services in the water, building, and transport sectors, respectively. As the
provision provides the opportunity to engage in related activities, the corporation
introduced other three units which make its business grow to six units. These units are
Water and Energy Sector, Geotechnical Sector, Construction Sector, Surveying and
Laboratory Center, Building and Urban Planning Sector and Transport Sector. The
surveying, geospatial and civil informatics and Research, laboratory and training units
are established as a center to provide support services for the business unit of EEC as
well as generate revenue from external markets.
To this end, the former Ethiopian Construction Design and Supervision Works
Corporation (ECDSWCo) through its letter Referenced No. ኢኮዲሱሥኮ.34/135/2016 dated
on መስከረም 24/2016 E.C. commissioned the Industrial Parks Development Corporation-
Industrial Projects Service (IPDC-IPS) undertaken valuation of fixed assets based on the
main agreement and the EEC request to be revised by supplementary agreement for
Main Office and its subsidiaries including Water and Energy Sector, Geotechnical
Sector, Construction Sector, Laboratory and Surveying Center located at main Office in
Bole Sub city Wereda 05 around Imperial Hotel. Building and Urban Planning Sector
found in Nifas Silk Lafto Sub city wereda 7, the way to Saris and Transport Sector
located at Kirkos Sub city wereda 06 nearby Mexico and “Lamberet” site, Yeka wereda
09 in Addis Ababa.
This Final Valuation report is, hence, prepared by IPS as per consultancy agreement
concluded between the parties.

The valuation of Heavy duty Machineries and equipment covers the following assets
based on inventory data which are provided by the client, physical and technical
assessments:-
a) Surveying Equipment
Surveying equipment valuation is undertaken as per the Inventory asset list on 2015 E.C
report and verified on physical assessment. The assets under consideration in this study
include surveying equipment such as theodolite, total station, GPS, and other items
found in various Ethiopian Engineering Corporation projects, including the Addis Ababa
Corridor projects, the head office next to the “Emperial” Hotel, and the “Lamberet”
previous water work design and supervision office.
The equipment on the project site is generally in good condition, although the majority of
the equipment in the Lamberet store is outdated but still functional.
b) Laboratory Equipment
Laboratory equipment valuation is covered based on given locations which are found at
Head Office, Water & Energy DSWS, and Building & Urban DSWS, Transport DSWS
and Laboratory, Research & Training Center. Those laboratory equipment’s are verified
during physical assessment and data are collected in order to determine their values.
The assets under consideration in this study including PH(ISE) meter, Geode 24 &
PEG40(Seismic Instrument), UV/Visible Double beam spectrophotometer, Dynamic
Cone Penetrometer Complete Assembly, Pin hole Dispersion app-550, Soil Drying oven
225 Cdm4, ADR 2000 slandered 2000kn compression machine with digital read out
220.24 v 50hz 1hp mvc 340mm mhc 275mm complete to fit slandered, Nitrogen Macro
Kjeldation pv pv-Distillation, 10Kn Flexural Tensile Machine, CBR Testing Machine 50KN
Test Speed 1.27mm (0.05) minute According to ASTMD 1883 Ashto T193 UNI 1009,
Computerized CRB testing machine (50KN), Huge Universal compression and
tensile(steel) testing machine, capacity,400000 lb, Concrete test Hummer Matest Modal,
Computerized complete set of Digital direct shear testing machine and so on.
The motor vehicles are found at four sites of Ethiopian engineering corporation namely at
building construction design, transport construction design, head quarter and at ware
house compound which were too far away from each other. Physically inspecting the
vehicles, whose condition is more clearly stated in the appendices, and reached in to
decision to estimate their re-sale values or market values, by assessing the market price
for the vehicles in the local market.
The basis for our valuation or re-sale valuation of the vehicles are the open market value
at which similar manufacturer, model, age, kilometer coverage and condition would have
been sold unconditionally for cash consideration on the date of assessment assuming a
willing seller, that prior to the date of valuation. There had been a reasonable period for
the proper marketing of the vehicles for the sale to be deducted that no account is taken
of any additional bid by prospective purchaser with special interest. Re sale price of
vehicles are an estimated value based on similar vehicles such as TOYOTA, NISSAN,
MITSUBISH, MAZIDA, ISUZU and the like pick up and automobiles those were
functional, at good condition, or dead and taking in to an account the daily inflation of the
dealer for such brands in the local market.
the type of vehicles are different in size, brand and condition along with some motor
cycles respectively those are now totally at operating condition except for some vehicles
those are now dead or stopped for long time due to shortage of spare parts, used for
long time and finished their service time and some of them were at work shop for
technical maintenance. The work done for estimation or market valuation of the below
stated vehicles were very exhaustive since they are found at four different places along
this most of them are found at different projects area or sites and hence, it totally
consumed almost one month to full fill the required parameters in order to get their
accurate value.
Finally some of the vehicles kilometers were not functional while the other one was not
known while they are at different project area or places. Hence, most of the outline
branch or project area vehicles are more or less similar to each other, in model, condition
and kilometer coverage and accordingly we determine their current price estimate at
local market.
The Gross Replacement Cost (GRC) of a building is the estimated cost of erecting the
building or the modern substitute building having the same internal area as of that
existing and the ancillary site works together with the relevant professional fees and
other associated expenses directly related to the construction of the building and site
works.
The Depreciated Replacement Value (DRV) of a building / civil work is the Gross
Replacement Value (GRV), depreciated according to the condition factor.
Civil works that are not accessible for assessment and verification like sub surface lines
for electricity, sub surface drainage works and water supply system, are not directly
valued and their cost is estimated in percentage of the total cost for civil works. Land
scape works and biological assets are not included in this valuation. All measurements
are in m2 unless otherwise specified.
The Gross Replacement Cost (GRC) of Heavy Duty Machinery & Laboratory &
Surveying Equipment are the costs of acquiring and/or installing new assets, or the
modern substitute assets having the same production capacity as the existing ones,
together with the associated expenses directly related to the installation of the assets.
The Depreciated Replacement Values (DRV) of Heavy Duty Machinery & Laboratory &
Surveying Equipment are the estimated costs of acquiring and installing the new or the
modern substitute assets having the same production capacity as the existing ones,
depreciated according to their condition factors. They do not necessarily represent the
Open Market Values (OMV) of the assets.
The condition factor for plant, machinery and equipment, electrical equipment, and office
furniture and equipment is estimated by using sum of years depreciation method, details
of how the Depreciation Factors are estimated is presented as follows.
The theoretical useful life of assets is the total life of service of the asset based on the
assumption that it has been and will be used and maintained as per the recommendation
of the suppliers of the assets.
In determining the theoretical useful life, effort has been made to assess the international
standard norms set for depreciation and appraisal of fixed assets. Most literatures give
useful life of 20 years; which is far beyond the prevailing condition of our country. The
above estimation is based on full capacity operation and 24 hours operation; which is not
the case in the Ethiopian Industry. Therefore in determining the useful life, practical
experience in the field and the prevailing (good standing examples) conditions industries
operating in Ethiopia were taken into consideration.
The service life of the assets is the total life that the asset has provided the expected
service under proper operating and maintenance conditions. The service life of the
assets in the subject was determined based on the information provided by the
corporation. The service life could be determined either on the date of purchase or the
date of commissioning; for the purpose of this valuation 2010 E.C was taken as date
Corporation started operation.
Based on the information obtained from senior experts of the Client and inspection of the
asset in subject under operation or standing condition during site visit supported by
photograph (for future analysis), and current developments in the field, the study team
developed opinion on the present condition of the concerned assets and interpreted it in
condition rating; which in turn is used in arriving reasonable value for the economic
remaining life (ERL) as well as determination of the DRV.
Condition rating has been determined considering the physical, functional and
technological condition of the asset with new similar asset and the following benchmarks
have been used.
Each asset has been treated individually in the process of condition rating, but for the
sake of clarity when two or more assets were strictly identical it has been given an
average condition rating for the group or complete set.
Economic Remaining Life (ERL) of the asset is the life the asset in the subject will
operate normally and provide the output expected in the desired amount and quality
without replacement of its major parts. ERL has been established to each item based on
the factors discussed in the foregoing sections to represent its current physical condition,
maintenance condition, and working hours, technical and economic obsolesce, etc.
The Depreciation Factor (DF) or Condition Factor (CF) has been estimated applying the
straight-line Depreciation Method, using the following formula.
S: Theoretical Service life of the buildings and civil works assigned at the very
beginning.
The condition factor for plant machinery and equipment for conversion of its GRC to
GRV is established based on the same principle discussed under section 3.5 by
considering its completeness, physical condition, use for the desired purpose, and
obsolescence in comparison to its modern substitute but in the range from 1.00- 0.95 for
new assets and 0.20 – 0 for asset that is in poor condition. Assets lower than this value
will be considered as scrap.
The Open Market Value (OMV) of motor vehicles means an opinion of the best price at
which an interest of property would have been sold unconditionally for cash
consideration on the date of valuation assuming:
A willing seller;
That before the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period (having
regard to the nature of motor vehicles and the state of the market) for the proper
marketing of the interest and the sale to be concluded; and
The basis of valuation is the list of fixed assets provided by Ethiopian Construction
Design & Supervision Works Corporation. The valuation of the assets has been carried
out in the following three stages:
On the basis of the provided list of assets of the Client, the physical existence of the
assets has been verified through appropriate inventory. During this stage, various data
such as assets name, assets number, make, model, location, quantity, capacity,
acquisition price and year, plate number, dimension, etc. have been recorded as much
as the availability of information allowed.
For the purpose of the present valuation, the current conditions of the assets like plant,
machinery and equipment have been determined through detailed physical assessment.
A condition factor has been established to each item so as to represent its current
physical condition in the valuation. The depreciation factors or the condition factors vary
from 0.00 to 1.00. Scrap items are given the lowest condition factors and new items (if
any) are assigned higher condition factors; while the remaining ones are given condition
factors varying in between.
The valuation details along with the data collected during fixed asset verification of
building & civil works; heavy duty machinery; geotechnical, Soil fertility, water quality and
material laboratory, surveying & geotechnical engineering equipment and motor vehicles
are given in Appendices Table from 6.2 to 6.6, respectively.
The basic information used for the assets valuation is the price data (GRC) and historical
data of some assets from the Client.
The Gross Replacement Cost (GRC) of Heavy construction machineries and equipment,
Surveying and Laboratory equipment; and vehicles had been obtained from quotation of
suppliers of similar new and second hand machineries and equipment, local agents for
similar machineries and equipment and offers obtained for new projects that has been
implemented and in the process of implementation. The price data for the items that are
scraped is collected from the foundries operating in the country.
The technology level, productivity of machinery available in the market is different from
the machineries installed in the factory, productivity has increased per unit machinery,
also unit of machinery cost has increased but on contrary investment cost and unit
production cost has decreased.
Therefore, the GRC index should incorporate the change in production capacity, foreign
currency change to replace the current machinery with the same production design
capacity of the major production machines and/or sections.
The GRC of service giving section workshop to meet the design capacity of the plant are
therefore calculated based on the average index of the section or the plant. An emphasis
is production/process machinery and equipment; the index is used to determine the GRC
of the whole plant.
The assets involved in the valuation included building and civil work, plant machinery
and equipment, electrical equipment, furniture and office equipment and vehicle.
The valuation methodology used for each category of assets as presented in section VI
(definition of values) is Depreciated Replacement Value (DRV) method for plant
machinery and equipment, electrical equipment and workshop, laboratory, material
handling equipment.
The DRV is the product of GRC and Depreciation Factor (DF). The GRC is estimated by
using the market price data collected in a manner as discussed in section 3.2. The
machinery and equipment Depreciation Factor calculated using straight line Depreciation
Method as discussed in section 3.7.
The valuation details along with the data collected during asset verification of the
buildings and civil work; Heavy construction machineries and equipment, Surveying and
Laboratory equipment; and vehicles is given in Table from 6.2 to 6.6 respectively.
