Sample Grievance Registration Form Project Administration Manual Purpose and Process 1. The project administration manual (PAM) describes the essential administrative and management requirements to implement the project on time, within budget, and in accordance with the policies and procedures of the government and Asian Development Bank (ADB). The PAM should include references to all available templates and instructions either through linkages to relevant URLs or directly incorporated in the PAM. 2. The Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDC), the Implementing Agency and the Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD), the Executive Agency, are wholly responsible for the implementation of ADB-financed projects, as agreed jointly between the borrower and ADB, and in accordance with the policies and procedures of the government and ADB. ADB staff is responsible for supporting implementation including compliance by MPUDC and UDHD of their obligations and responsibilities for project implementation in accordance with ADB’s policies and procedures. 3. At loan negotiations, the borrower and ADB shall agree to the PAM and ensure consistency with the loan agreement. Such agreement shall be reflected in the minutes of the loan negotiations. In the event of any discrepancy or contradiction between the PAM and the loan agreement, the provisions of the loan agreement shall prevail. 4. After ADB Board approval of the project's report and recommendations of the President (RRP), changes in implementation arrangements are subject to agreement and approval pursuant to relevant government and ADB administrative procedures (including the Project Administration Instructions) and upon such approval, they will be subsequently incorporated in the PAM. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. The Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement Project will complement past and ongoing efforts of the Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) to improve water supply and wastewater management for the residents of Madhya Pradesh. The Project will adopt a sector approach and will invest in the water supply system in 64 towns and drainage systems in two towns. Madhya Pradesh’s Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) will be the executing agency and Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDC) will be the Implementing Agency for the project. 2. Sixty-four towns with reliable water resource, sound engineering feasibility, available land, and commitment for operation and maintenance (O&M), among others, have been identified to be supported by MPUSIP. Subprojects are selected based on the agreed selection criteria as indicated in Appendix 1. The GoMP plans to approach ADB in future for additional funding for the remaining towns based on lessons learned from implementation of the project. The sector investments will lead to increase in wastewater, which also needs to be addressed. The GoMP is committed to improve wastewater management in a phased manner.1 The project will also support sewage and storm water management in two national heritage tourist towns of Khajuraho and Rajnagar. 3. The impact of the project will be economic growth and urban living conditions improved and infant mortality reduced in Madhya Pradesh.2 The outcome will be improved quality, coverage, efficiency and sustainability of urban service delivery in Madhya Pradesh. 4. The project outputs are as follows: (i) Output 1: Water supply infrastructure in 64 project towns and integrated storm water and sewage infrastructure in two towns improved. This will include (a) construction of water supply facilities, using design-build-operate (DBO) model, in all project towns (the facilities will include raw water intakes, water treatment plants, overhead tanks, distribution networks including the metered household connections); (b) construction of sewage and storm-water management systems in two national heritage tourist towns (Khajuraho and Rajnagar); and (c) the project implementation capacity strengthening. Based on the geographic location and the size, subprojects in project towns have been grouped into 23 procurement packages to achieve the economies of scale for the contract purposes. The surface water is the source in 60 towns while ground water is the source in remaining four towns. In the four towns dependent on ground water, the project will support recharge of ground water and monitor sustainable use of ground water. The list of project towns and components is in Appendix 2. (ii) Output 2: Systems to ensure sustained urban infrastructure operation and management established in all project towns. The project will support the state government and the ULBs, during project implementation period, in establishing and maintaining 10 years performance based O&M water supply contracts. This will include engagement of operators on performance-based, 1 The GoMP is undertaking investments to improve wastewater management in larger towns and towns along rivers using funds from AMRUT program, World Bank, and KfW projects. 2 Government of Madhya Pradesh. 2012.

After the construction (expected to be completed in 2 years), the contractors of the civil works packages will continue to operate and provide continuous water supply service for project towns for a period of 10 years. Out of the 10 years O&M contract period, ADB will finance the first 3 years following the completion of the subproject and GoMP will finance the remaining O&M cost in the subsequent years. The MPUDC will pay the contractors the O&M costs on a monthly basis in both fixed fee and performance- linked variable fees according to the contract agreement. The contractor will ensure proper metering and volumetric billing, adequate water
