Technical, Financial, Environmental and Social Due Diligence Study Terms of Reference

1. BACKGROUND

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “EBRD” or the “Bank”) has been asked to assist in preparation of the project aimed at construction of the municipally owned metro system in Izmir (the “Project”). The EBRD loan of EUR 80 million would be extended to the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality (the “City” or “IMM”).

Izmir Metro (the “Company”) was established in 2000. The metro system in the City is primarily an above ground Light Rail Transit (“LRT”) system carrying 240,000 passengers per day with 182 carriages, a 20 kilometre network and 17 stations. The existing LRT system consists of one line which starts from Fahrettin Altay station in the southern part of the metropolitan area and runs towards northeast to end at Evka-3 in Bornova. 7 km of extension from Narlidere station to Fahrettin Altay district is under construction.

The extension of the current LRT system and further integration of the LRT system with existing transport modes will enable the provision of frequent and efficient services to Izmir residents in a way that is fast, reliable, comfortable, and environment-friendly, providing an alternative to the use of cars.

Buca Metro is the third phase of the Izmir Metro Network and consists of 13.3 km long with 11 stations and a total indoor area of 80 thousands sqm. The Line will start at Bozyaka and there will be 11 stations namely Bozyaka, Ucyol, Zafertepe, General Asım Gündüz, Şirinyer, Buca Municipality, Kasaplar, Hasanağa Bahçesi, Dokuz Eylül University, Buca Koop and Çamlıkule station. Buca line will meet with second stage line along F. Altay-Bornova at Üçyol Station, with İZBAN line at Şirinyer Station. Train sets along this line will be unpiloted. The Project is the third phase of the City’s metro network investments. It will result in safer and more reliable transport services for 350,000 passengers per day.

IMM received approvals from the central government for the investment. The Project is eligible for foreign financing. The tender process will be launched according to the EBRD’s PP&R and construction is expected to start in 2020.

Expected construction period is 4 years. The estimated cost of the project is EUR 500 million.

Task 6: Assessment of potential for land value capture to support metro development

Land value capture aims to retrieve the economic benefit from land value increase and generate a local-based funding source to complement existing public funds for future operation and expansion. Such funding sources need to consider enforcement feasibility and degree of revenue autonomy at regional and local levels.

The Consultant shall perform a strategic assessment of potential for land value capture methods and recommend a course of action, for possible support under the transition impact agenda of the Bank. The study will consider at least two general categories of instrument, namely those that elicit revenue from existing urban fabric, through municipal taxes, special assessment districts or other such mechanisms, and those that generate income through sale/lease of land for development or joint development of land in areas that will be strongly served by the metro system. The Consultant shall use key findings from international experience of urban transport funding, including the land sales and leaseholds (e.g. Cairo, Mumbai), property taxes and betterment levies (e.g. Bogota, Durban), business rate/council tax supplements (e.g. UK), transport tax (e.g. France), value capture finance (e.g. Brazil, Australia, Hong Kong, US), with specific assessment of applicability in the Izmir context.

The study shall:  Consult with city authorities and land development agencies, regarding land policies, regulations, policies and practices, development plans within the metro project area and plans and views on developing LVC policies in the city  Review existing fiscal and regulatory policy towards land value capture, notably including notably commercial, business rates and council taxes, property development taxes; identification of revenue-raising authority (whether local or national)  Perform outline assessment of real estate market indicators/property prices, trends and main parameters and coefficients for metro development, based on distance from metro station (500m, 1km, 2km) and available local (e.g. Izmir, Istanbul metro etc), as well as international, data and experience  Outline institutional, legal and regulatory constraints for land value capture methods, including site developments  Compile a schedule of all potential development zones along the length of the proposed route indicating the scale of the opportunity, and the specific nature of the opportunity – defined in terms of positive attributes and development constraints.

Based on above assessment and relevant consultations and specialist knowledge and experience, the Consultant shall prepare a strategic ‘quality based’ assessment of possible LVC options, using outline ‘likely range estimates’, including inter-alia:

 Financial impact (scale of possible benefits)  Economic case (level of alignment with economic benefits- equity, efficiency etc)  Process issues for revenue collection/fund management, capacity requirements  Outline nature, scale of legal, regulatory and institutional constraints  Likely level of public acceptability, affected actors and level of resistance (outline stakeholder assessment)

OFFICIAL USE 6 OFFICIAL USE Terms of Reference

The Consultant shall recommend most viable LVC options for further study, and outline a course of action, including next steps for their development in Izmir, and potentially other cities in Turkey.

Task 7: Review anticipated transition agenda of the Bank

In order to enhance sustainability of the Project, the Consultant will undertake the following tasks:

 The Project is expected to result in significant reductions in air pollutant and GHG emissions compared to current operations achieving a transport modal shift from high- carbon modes such as private cars and minibuses to metro systems having zero carbon emissions profile at the local level.  The implementation of a Corporate Development Programme (“CDP”). In the first metro project for IMM, the Bank provided technical assistance to review and improve existing Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) and their public disclosures as well as increased non-fare revenue share to 4%, and private sector involvement for cleaning and security services as well. As a continuation of the CDP, the Bank will provide technical assistance to encourage more private sector participation and reduce costs which would support the underlying financial performance objective under CDP, as well as establish the merits of creating a formal Fixed Asset Management division within Izmir Metro, in line with industry best practice, which will plan and receive budget for routine and periodic maintenance in accordance with strict cost and quality controls based on availability/functionality standards. The consultants are expected to provide information as to what activities shall be included under the CDP, such as the support of the creation of a formal Fixed Asset Management division within Izmir Metro, enhanced disclosure of KPIs, and the development of corporate development and training programmes via collaboration with the Izmir Metro Company and focusing on the corporate development angles.  Possible development of Land Value Capture methods. In this instance, the Bank may consider additional technical assistance for further studies and actions identified under task 6.

With respect to the above, the Consultant will review the anticipated transition impact agenda of the Bank and advise on: . Main issues and challenges . Principal data sources, institutional and legal framework . Outline scope for future assignment to be implemented with Bank support

OFFICIAL USE 20 OFFICIAL USE Terms of Reference ANNEX 2 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASSESSMENT: COMPLIANCE SUMMARY TABLE

Introduction The Compliance Summary provides a systematic review of project compliance with the EBRD Environmental and Social Policy, as defined through the applicable Performance Requirements (PRs). Scope of compliance is all PRs applicable to non-FI projects. The review is intended to provide a baseline against which to judge future performance of projects through the annual environmental and social reporting process. Between 2 and 10 indicators are identified for each of the applicable PRs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10. Guidance For all PRs (Indicators with whole number references) provide a summary of overall compliance with the PR. Justification for any derogation from a PR should be summarised and supporting documents referenced. For each indicator within a PR, please complete the 3 steps below: 1. Decide whether the indicator is applicable. For Category A and B projects the starting point is that all indicators are applicable unless the project has no significant aspects relevant to the indicator (i.e. no risks), in which case the indicator should be scored "NA" and a brief summary of the reason given. For Category C projects the starting point is all indicators are NA unless the project has a significant aspect relevant to the indicator (i.e. there is a material risk). 2. Decide whether an opinion is possible. If not (for example if the indicator will apply, but it is too early in the project) score as "NOP" and provide a brief summary of why. Where lack of opinion represents a material omission to the review refer to where this is addressed in the report and summarise any recommendations.

OFFICIAL USE 21 OFFICIAL USE Terms of Reference 3. Score the indicator as follows and provide brief justification.

Exceeding Compliance: EC The project has gone beyond the expectations of EBRD’s PR requirements. EBRD should be able to use projects rated EC as a role model for positive Environmental and Social effects. Fully Compliant: FC The project is fully in compliance with EBRD’s requirements, and EU and local environmental, health and safety policies and guidelines. Partial Compliance: PC The project is not in full compliance with EBRD’s requirements, but has systems, processes or mitigation measure in place which are working towards addressing the deficiencies. Material Non-compliance: MN The project is not in material compliance with EBRD’s requirements, and the systems, processes and mitigation measures in place are not working towards addressing the deficiencies.

4. Comments/Issues: Provide a brief commentary on the relevance of this requirement for the project and an explanation of the chosen score. 5. Actions Required: Where applicable, briefly describe any actions required by the client to achieve full compliance with each requirement. Where a relevant action is included in the ESAP for this project, please provide a reference to the ESAP. 6. PR Summary: Provide an overall summary against the PR, using the above compliance definitions with supporting commentary. In some cases it may be sufficient to address a PR at summary level only, depending on Stage 1 above.

Note: The Material Non-compliance score (at both Indicator and PR level) has significant implications for Project approval and requires particular care. In judging whether the measures sufficiently address deficiencies the consultant should consider in a structured way both the level of residual (post-approval) risk and the level of confidence that the Project can successfully bring the issue into compliance with the Policy through the ESAP. The table below illustrates the approach to be taken.
