In Greater Chennai Corporation, Zones IX, X and XIII has been privatized by calling tender based on tipping fee model and award of contract has been given to M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd on 24.11.2011 after obtaining council resolution. The period of contract as per concession agreement is 7 years from March, 2012. (i.e from COD) and it will conclude in March 2019. Now GCC has to finalize a new contract or extend the existing concessionaire M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd to work beyond March 2019. It is also to state that the Lok Sabha Elecctions 2019 are going to be conducted in state of Tamil Nadu. The election model code of conduct is expected to be announced shortly during last week of February 2019 / March 2019. For the Greater Chennai Corporation, it is not possible to finalise the new concessionaire within two months by following all due procedures. The following points are to be considered while calling of new tender for Collection and Transportation of solid waste from zone 9, 10 and 13. 1. The Detailed feasibility reports with “Cost of Service Delivery Model” has been prepared by Transaction Advisory consultants for privatization of zones 1,2,3,7(Package I), 11, 12, 14 & 15 (Package II)” and approved by Government. 2. The Administrative Sanction has been obtained for the project of “Collection and Transportation of Solid waste for zone 1,2,3,and 7 & 11,12,14 and 15 vide G.O (Ms) No. 33 & 34 Dated 02.04.2018 respectively from Government based on cost of service delivery model instead of tipping fee model . In respect of Collection of solid waste and Transportation of the same to the landfill sites/processing facilities from Zone-I, II, III and VII(Package-I) and the work of Collection of solid waste, Transportation of the same to the landfill sites/processing facilities from Zone-XI, XII, XIV and XV (Package-II) it was decided to change the tipping fee payment model and to introduce cost of service delivery model, where the concessionaire is to be paid such amount per month on the amount quoted by him per year, according to the degree of performance which will be evaluated by an independent Project Engineer, based on certain Key Performance Indicators. The tenders were floated for these two packages. The tipping fee model is in existence in zone IX, X and XIII and the payment made to M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd on per ton basis. At this stage the Greater Chennai Corporation has proposed to implement new system of cost of service delivery model for these zones IX, X and XIII (Package V) also and proposals also are sent to TNIDB for approval of RFP documents along with the DFR since the cost exceeds Rs 10 crores. It may -2- S.W.M.C.No.A7/0351/2019 take at least a month to get Administration Sanction for this. Thereafter at least 6 months is required to float tenders, finalize new concessionaire and handover the site for new concessionaire. The resources required to do solid waste management work in these three zones like compactors, bins and human resources are not available with Greater Chennai Corporation. It is difficult to procure all of them in such short time. So, it is prudent to extend concession period for another six months according to clause 2.7 of concession agreement. Considering the new system of cost of service delivery model, anticipating the model code of conduct for the Lok sabha elections 2019 the time period required to settle the new concessionaire, it is necessary to extend the concession period of existing concessionaire M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd at least for 6 months period. It is submitted that there is a provision for extension of the concession period as already stated in the agreement made between M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd and Greater Chennai Corporation in clause 2.7 as below. “The concession period may be extended for a future period Rules made prevailing at that time the Greater Chennai Corporation shall have the right to extend the period SU-MOTO and concessionaire shall be obliged to continue to perform their duties and discharges their obligations as per this agreement, to the entire extended period of concession in such cases, the rate shall be paid based on the rate as agreed for the seventh year of operation by the concessionaire. If the concession period is extended for more than six month, Greater Chennai Corporation shall pay to the concessionaire escalation in the Tipping fee at the rate agreed for the period exceeding six month”. The rate for seventh year of operation by the concessionaire M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd is Rs.1909.70/Ton Hence, to pass resolution for the extension of time of contract to the existing concessionaire M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd as per the clause 2.7 of concession agreement in force and to pay seventh year rate of Rs 1909.70/MT for a period of 6 months. Orders of the Special Officer-Standing Committee (Health), Standing Committee (Works), Standing Committee (Taxation and Finance) and Council are requested.Commissioner’s note dated.02.02.2019 is read. “Approved by Special Officer-Standing Committee (Health), Standing Committee (Works), Standing Committee (Taxation and Finance) and Council.” ****** பா..ந.க.எ.3/ 0577/2018 மான எ நா .042/2019 :04-02-2019 பாலக ைற – மடல - 4 வா 37 ெகாைக ைப ெகா வளாக உள CMWSSB காவா ேக ெபடக வவ பால அைம பகாக வாள தாம அயாைர இராரச ைரேவ ெட அவக ஒப வழக அம. 1. ப ெபய ம ப இட : மடல - 4 வா 37 ெகாைக ைப ெகா வளாக உள CMWSSB காவா ேக ெபடக வவ பால அைம ப. 2 ம ஒத ெபற வர : மற மான எ.867/2018 நா.22.10.2018 3 எத ைறகாக இத ப ெசயலாக : பாலக ைற 4 ம எத வட : 2017-18 ஆ ஆ அவலக ைல ைலபயைல ைவ வரப தயாகபட 5 ம ெதாைக : . 3,81,40,000.00/- அ) ப ெசலன : . 3,26,87,036.90 ஆ) எபாரா ெசல 2.5% : . 3,86,472.38 இ) தநா கமான : . 3,26,870.37 ெதாலாளக நலவாய 1% ஈ) ேமபாைவ ெசலன 2.5% : . 8,17,175.92 உ) ெபாக ம ேசைவ வ 12% : . 39,22,444.43 ெமாத : . 3,81,40,000.00 7 எெதத பைக ஒப : 1. ெபநகர ெசைன மாநகரா ரகபட / நா ெச மல நா. 11.10.2018 2. ன ெசநாத 11.10.2018 3. ெடக ராக11.10.2018 8 ஒபத ஏெகாவதகான : 16.11.2018 கைட நா. 9 தைம : Swachh Bharath 10 ஒப ெசதா ரகபட : ஆ நா 15 நாக ஒகபளதா? 11 எதைன ஒபக ெபறபடன : இர (e-Tender) இைணய தள ல ெபறபட வ. ஒபத பேகறவ ப ஒபததார ைலத எ ெபயக வாளக / அவலக ஒப கா . மக ம () ெதாைக () அக/ைற 1. தாம அயாைர 3,26,87,036.90 4,80,24,588.00 (+) 46.92% இராரச ைரேவ (GST @ 12% (GST @ 12% ெட கலாக) கலாக) ேமகட பகாக ஒபக ேகாரப ஒப இ நாளான 16.11.2018 அ இர ஒபக e-Tender லமாக ெபறபடன. இர ஒபததாரக ெதாப ஒப த ெபற ஒபததாரரான வாளக. தாம அயாைர இராரச -2- பா..ந.க.எ.3/ 0577/2018 ைரேவ ெட அவக ஒபெதாைகயான. 4,80,24,588.00, 2017-18ஆ ஆ இவவலக ப ம ெதாைகயான .3,26,87,036.90ைய ட (+) 46.92% அகமா (GST @ 12% கலாக).

  • Integrated Approach Towards Participatory Development of Urban Neighborhood Spaces: Chennai, India Abdul Razak Mohamed
    Chapter Integrated Approach towards Participatory Development of Urban Neighborhood Spaces: Chennai, India Abdul Razak Mohamed Abstract The social living of the urban households depends on the physical manifestation of spaces arranged to carry out their day-to-day activities of members including children, adult, women, men, old age, and differently able persons. Urban neigh- borhoods undergo changes in the spaces in house and building, places in a locality, and the overall built form. The city spaces experience transformation in the house spaces and common places, and the built form experienced the residential character change towards commercial and other nonresidential uses in the neighborhood. The impact of the spatial transformation demands to make redevelopment strate- gies to resolve the conflict between residential and commercial spaces in the neighborhood. So, the need for an integrated approach towards “Participatory Redevelopment” (PRD) of the urban neighborhood becomes a challenge for the city planners. The new planning model on PRD as an integrated approach developed by the author is followed in the redevelopment project hosted by the Corporation of Chennai. The PRD approach used “C-TC-C” model to follow participation as “Collective-Target Centered-Collective”. The PRD adopts the approach called the five-pillar system (FPS). These aspects are the main focus of this chapter within the context of T. Nagar, a residential neighborhood transforming into a busy retail com- mercial market area and residential living and parking spaces situated in the midst of Chennai City, the capital of the Tamil Nadu State in India. Keywords: participatory planning, urban neighborhoods, redevelopment, integrated approach, five-pillar system, collective and target-centered collective participation 1.
