Introduction

• We are implementing the Advancing Cross-border Resilience and Opportunity for Safety and Stability (ACROSS) Project in Kebbi State in partnership with Northeast Youth Initiative for Development (NEYIF), with funding from the PATRIP Foundation.
• The project aims to catalyze inclusive, sustainable development in rural and semi-urban communities of Kebbi State through community-driven infrastructure planning and investment. Between April and June 2026, participatory infrastructure needs assessments and co-creation workshops were conducted in nine communities across Dandi and Bagudo LGAs. Each community produced a Five-Year Infrastructure Development Plan (2026–2030) containing five prioritized projects. 
• To move from planning to implementation, CRS and NEYIF require feasibility studies for the first two (2) projects of each community (18 projects in total). Given the limited resources and the need for timely progress, a rapid feasibility assessment methodology will be employed. This will rely on community-held knowledge, visual inspections, stakeholder validation, and existing secondary data.
• The output will be a concise, evidence-based report that confirms project viability, refines concept designs, provides realistic cost estimates, and identifies any critical environmental and social safeguards required

Objective of the Consultancy

• The primary objective is to conduct feasibility studies for the complete portfolio of 18 prioritized infrastructure projects across the nine target communities, confirming their technical viability, environmental and social suitability, economic justification, and institutional sustainability.

The studies will provide sufficient information to:

• Make go/no-go decisions on each project.
• Present a compelling evidence base to government and potential funding partners.
• Obtain necessary regulatory approvals such as environmental clearance, building permits, water abstraction permits, etc.
• Prepare Terms of Reference for subsequent detailed design and construction phases.

Scope of Work

• The consultancy will cover all 2 prioritized projects for each of the nine communities, as listed in the Five-Year Infrastructure Development Plans (see Annex A).
• The scope is to produce feasibility-level assessments and documentation, not final engineering designs.

The tasks include:
Inception and Document Review:

• Review all existing community infrastructure plans, needs assessment reports, and any prior technical data (maps, available borehole records, etc.).
• Hold an inception meeting with CRS, NEYIF, and relevant government stakeholders to align expectations, methodology, and deliverables.
• Prepare and submit an inception report detailing the work plan, team composition, data collection tools, and a refined schedule.

Field Assessments and Data Collection:

• The consultant shall conduct comprehensive engineering surveys for all project sites where relevant. These surveys must sufficiently inform conceptual design, accurate quantity estimation, and future detailed design.

They include:

• Visit all nine communities to verify site conditions, land ownership/availability, and community readiness.
• Conduct indicative technical surveys sufficient for feasibility determination, such as: Walk-over site inspections and visual condition assessments, basic topographical reconnaissance (not a full survey; spot levels and cross-sections as needed for cost estimation and flood risk understanding), soil/geotechnical observations (trial pits or auger holes where required for structure foundation types), Hydrological/hydrogeological rapid assessments (stream flow observations, existing borehole yield tests or records, flood level community mapping), solar irradiation data collection for energy components (using satellite data or local weather records).
• Assess the existing infrastructure conditions like buildings, roads, drains, boreholes to determine the scope of rehabilitation and an approximate bill of materials.
• Document environmental and social settings, including any sensitive receptors, using checklists and community mapping.

Stakeholder Engagement and Community Validation:

• Engage with community development associations, traditional leaders, women and youth groups, market traders, school-based management committees, WASH committees, and health facility committees to validate project scope, siting, and desired features.
• Facilitate participatory design validation sessions to ensure the feasibility study captures user needs, accessibility for persons with disabilities, and gender-specific requirements.
• Consult with Local Government Area (LGA) Works Departments, relevant state ministries (Works, Environment, Water Resources, Education, Health, Energy, Commerce), and regulatory agencies (RUWASSA, State Primary Health Care Development Agency, electricity distribution company) to align the feasibility-level proposals with government standards and secure early technical endorsement.

Environmental and Social Assessment:

• Conduct environmental and social screening for each project, using a standardized checklist or rapid assessment tool compliant with national regulations and international good practice.
• For projects with potentially significant impacts, prepare a site-specific Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) containing mitigation measures, monitoring indicators, and institutional responsibilities.
• Ensure the screening and ESMPs address gender, disability inclusion, and community health and safety.
• Produce a simple summary of stakeholder consultations and how feedback was incorporated into the project concept.

Technical Feasibility Assessment:

• For each project, describe the proposed intervention at a conceptual/preliminary design level, including:
• Key dimensions and specifications (e.g., length and width of road, span of bridge, number and size of classroom blocks, borehole depth and estimated yield, capacity of market sheds, lumens and number of solar streetlights).
• Functional layout descriptions (e.g., room arrangement in a health post, stall layout in a market) supported by simple hand-drawn or computer-generated schematics but not detailed architectural/engineering drawings.
• Proposed construction methods and materials, with justification based on local availability and sustainability.
• Identify any major technical risks and propose mitigation measures.

Cost Estimation and Economic Viability:

• Prepare indicative Bills of Quantities (BoQs) and Class D (feasibility-level) cost estimates for each project, based on prevailing unit rates in Kebbi State and lumpsum estimates for grouped items where detailed measurement is not feasible.
• Estimate recurrent operation and maintenance costs over 5 years.
• Highlight any assumptions about community contributions (labour, materials) and their monetized value.

Implementation Planning:

• Propose a realistic implementation schedule for each project, accounting for seasonal constraints (rainy season) and community labour mobilization.
• Identify the next steps required to proceed with detailed design and construction, including additional surveys or assessments needed.

Institutional Capacity and Sustainability Assessment:

• Review existing community management structures (WASHCOMs, School-Based Management Committees, Market Management Committees, Community Health Committees, Infrastructure Management Committees) and their capacity to operate and maintain assets.
• Recommend any training or organizational strengthening required and outline a simple sustainability plan for each project.
• For energy systems (solar boreholes, streetlights), include a maintenance and spare parts plan.

Reporting:

• Produce a stand-alone feasibility study report for each community, clearly structured with an executive summary, site assessments, conceptual project descriptions, ESMP summary, cost estimates, implementation plan, and sustainability plan. The report should include simple schematics, photographs, and maps as necessary to illustrate the proposal.
• Produce a consolidated summary report covering all nine communities, with comparative tables of projects, costs, timelines, and key findings.
• Provide all raw data (survey notes, geotechnical observations, water quality results, cost estimation spreadsheets) in digital format.

Methodology

• The technical proposal should detail the survey methodologies for each type of project, including equipment to be used, number and location of tests, and how data quality will be assured
• The consultant is expected to employ a participatory, evidence-based methodology that includes:
  • Desk review of existing plans and data.
  • Rapid field appraisals using checklists, visual inspections, and community mapping rather than full-scale engineering surveys.
  • Environmental and social screening using rapid assessment tools.
  • Cost estimation based on local market surveys and validated rates.
  • Regular coordination with CRS, NEYIF, and government technical partners.
• The consultants should detail their proposed methodology in the technical proposal, clearly indicating the level of technical detail that will be achieved for each sector (water, transport, buildings, energy, drainage) and how the outputs will meet the “next-step” readiness requirement without detailed engineering designs.

Deliverables

• All deliverables must be of a quality suitable for presenting to government authorities, donors, and other external stakeholders.
• Inception Report (within 2 weeks of contract signing): Detailed work plan, methodology, tools, and timeline.
• Draft Feasibility Study Reports (one per community, plus a consolidated summary): Including feasibility-level technical descriptions, indicative BoQs and cost estimates, ESMPs, implementation schedules, and sustainability plans.

• Prepare and submit an inception report detailing the work plan, team composition, data collection tools, and a refined schedule.

Field Assessments and Data Collection:

• The consultant shall conduct comprehensive engineering surveys for all project sites where relevant. These surveys must sufficiently inform conceptual design, accurate quantity estimation, and future detailed design.

They include:

• Visit all nine communities to verify site conditions, land ownership/availability, and community readiness.
• Conduct indicative technical surveys sufficient for feasibility determination, such as: Walk-over site inspections and visual condition assessments, basic topographical reconnaissance (not a full survey; spot levels and cross-sections as needed for cost estimation and flood risk understanding), soil/geotechnical observations (trial pits or auger holes where required for structure foundation types), Hydrological/hydrogeological rapid assessments (stream flow observations, existing borehole yield tests or records, flood level community mapping), solar irradiation data collection for energy components (using satellite data or local weather records).
• Assess the existing infrastructure conditions like buildings, roads, drains, boreholes to determine the scope of rehabilitation and an approximate bill of materials.
• Document environmental and social settings, including any sensitive receptors, using checklists and community mapping.

Stakeholder Engagement and Community Validation:

• Engage with community development associations, traditional leaders, women and youth groups, market traders, school-based management committees, WASH committees, and health facility committees to validate project scope, siting, and desired features.
• Facilitate participatory design validation sessions to ensure the feasibility study captures user needs, accessibility for persons with disabilities, and gender-specific requirements.
• Consult with Local Government Area (LGA) Works Departments, relevant state ministries (Works, Environment, Water Resources, Education, Health, Energy, Commerce), and regulatory agencies (RUWASSA, State Primary Health Care Development Agency, electricity distribution company) to align the feasibility-level proposals with government standards and secure early technical endorsement.

Environmental and Social Assessment:

• Conduct environmental and social screening for each project, using a standardized checklist or rapid assessment tool compliant with national regulations and international good practice.
• For projects with potentially significant impacts, prepare a site-specific Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) containing mitigation measures, monitoring indicators, and institutional responsibilities.
• Ensure the screening and ESMPs address gender, disability inclusion, and community health and safety.
• Produce a simple summary of stakeholder consultations and how feedback was incorporated into the project concept.

Technical Feasibility Assessment:

• For each project, describe the proposed intervention at a conceptual/preliminary design level, including:
• Key dimensions and specifications (e.g., length and width of road, span of bridge, number and size of classroom blocks, borehole depth and estimated yield, capacity of market sheds, lumens and number of solar streetlights).
• Functional layout descriptions (e.g., room arrangement in a health post, stall layout in a market) supported by simple hand-drawn or computer-generated schematics but not detailed architectural/engineering drawings.
• Proposed construction methods and materials, with justification based on local availability and sustainability.
• Identify any major technical risks and propose mitigation measures.

Cost Estimation and Economic Viability:

• Prepare indicative Bills of Quantities (BoQs) and Class D (feasibility-level) cost estimates for each project, based on prevailing unit rates in Kebbi State and lumpsum estimates for grouped items where detailed measurement is not feasible.
• Estimate recurrent operation and maintenance costs over 5 years.
• Highlight any assumptions about community contributions (labour, materials) and their monetized value.

Implementation Planning:

• Propose a realistic implementation schedule for each project, accounting for seasonal constraints (rainy season) and community labour mobilization.
• Identify the next steps required to proceed with detailed design and construction, including additional surveys or assessments needed.

Institutional Capacity and Sustainability Assessment:

• Review existing community management structures (WASHCOMs, School-Based Management Committees, Market Management Committees, Community Health Committees, Infrastructure Management Committees) and their capacity to operate and maintain assets.
• Recommend any training or organizational strengthening required and outline a simple sustainability plan for each project.
• For energy systems (solar boreholes, streetlights), include a maintenance and spare parts plan.

Reporting:

• Produce a stand-alone feasibility study report for each community, clearly structured with an executive summary, site assessments, conceptual project descriptions, ESMP summary, cost estimates, implementation plan, and sustainability plan. The report should include simple schematics, photographs, and maps as necessary to illustrate the proposal.
• Produce a consolidated summary report covering all nine communities, with comparative tables of projects, costs, timelines, and key findings.
• Provide all raw data (survey notes, geotechnical observations, water quality results, cost estimation spreadsheets) in digital format.

Methodology

• The technical proposal should detail the survey methodologies for each type of project, including equipment to be used, number and location of tests, and how data quality will be assured
• The consultant is expected to employ a participatory, evidence-based methodology that includes:
  • Desk review of existing plans and data.
  • Rapid field appraisals using checklists, visual inspections, and community mapping rather than full-scale engineering surveys.
  • Environmental and social screening using rapid assessment tools.
  • Cost estimation based on local market surveys and validated rates.
  • Regular coordination with CRS, NEYIF, and government technical partners.
• The consultants should detail their proposed methodology in the technical proposal, clearly indicating the level of technical detail that will be achieved for each sector (water, transport, buildings, energy, drainage) and how the outputs will meet the “next-step” readiness requirement without detailed engineering designs.
