| Description of provided services : |
| Prepare maps using Satellite Images (GIS and RS studies) to be required in the pre- feasibility stage which will help in detail analysis during feasibility study; |
| Limited spot level survey (coarse level contour survey); |
| Tentative delineation of project boundary with land classification and ownership status; |
| Map setting, map referencing, area estimation, map digitizing, boundary survey etc; |
| Provide the road and river communication systems of the proposed areas; |
| Provide the potential capacity of the proposed coal based power plant considering future capacity expansion; |
| Factors and issues to be considered in site selection so as to minimize and mitigate the costs and impact of the power generation facilities and produce reliable cost-effective power to Rural Power Company Ltd.; |
| Suggest the economic way of coal transportation, transshipment and its handling up to the plant i.e. the International as well as Local coal transportation, transshipment and coal handling; |
| Prepare a preliminary transportation system of heavy lift equipment during construction and O & M of the power plant; |
| Find out possible sources of availability of requisite water with their suitable depths; |
| To conduct detail sub soil investigation and analysis; |
| To conduct preliminary hydro-morphological study of the rivers in the vicinity of the proposed project area and review of related available documents on catchment area which are to be utilized or coal transportation and water to be used for cooling and other systems of the power plant; Survey (bathymetric) from deep sea and primary data acquisition (hydrometric) on a limited scale; |
| Mathematical hydro-morphological studies - development and/or updating of 93 existing hydrological/ hydraulic/ morphological models for the assessment of hydraulic and morphological behavior (with respect to flow discharge and sediment transport) as well as navigability (with respect to depth of water) of the rivers; |
| Assessment of flooding pattern and flood vulnerability along with drainage characteristics in and around the proposed project area; |
| Identification of vulnerable erosion prone locations around the proposed project area through simulation of mathematical models for different likely hydrological scenarios including low, moderate and extreme scenarios; |
| Prepare the preliminary planning and design of site plan showing the layout, dividing the total site into main salient sub-areas (viz. plant area, stack yard, residential area and common service areas along with approach and internal roads, jetty etc.); |
| Detail-feasibility level Economical and Financial analysis; |
| Examine and propose a detail coal handling system at the site that will meet the coal delivery requirements of the plant and handle adequate deliveries of imported coal for 2×660 MW should include the following: |
| a) Assess daily requirement of coal for the proposed plant; |
| b) Identify sources of coal (from at least four imported coal source countries) suitable for the proposed plant; |
| c) Detail description of the coal unloading system from mother vessel, assessment of any sea port or deep sea port requirement facility to be built for 2×660 MW; |
| d) Capacity of vessel to transport coal from deep-sea port/seaport; |
| e) Transshipment modality and equipment required; |
| f) Jetty and channel requirements; |
| g) Capacity of feeder vessel, if necessary, or conveyor system to transport coal from port to each power generation plant; |
| h) Coal storage facility and handling from stack yard to coal processing system of power plant; |
| i) Identify in detail the coal handling/ delivery system that should be within the scope of power generation project with the view that operation of the coal handling/delivery system should not be disrupted or impaired. |
