2. Prepare Detailed Engineering Design for the Works: Documents of detailed engineering
designs need to comply with the requirements stipulated at Decree No. 59/2015/ND-CP dated
June 18, 2015 of the Government on the management of construction investment projects;
Decree No. 42/2017/ND-CP of the Government: Amending and supplementing a number of
articles of Decree No. 59/2015/ND-CP dated June 18, 2015 of the Government on management
of construction investment projects.
Documents of detailed engineering designs need to inherit the approved design orientations in
the basic design step. Proposed changes from the basic design need to be interpreted
scientifically to prove that these proposals are more effective and feasible and must be approved
by the client.
Design solutions proposed by the consultant are not only comply with technical requirements in
design and construction standards, but also need to be integrated with the requirements of
improving traffic safety, enhancing likelihood responding to climate change, minimizing adverse
Loan 3757 VIE (COL): Second Greater Mekong Subregion Tourism Infrastructure for Inclusive Growth
Project - Hoa Binh Province Subproject

impacts on the environment according to ADB safeguard policies and suitable with the
requirements set out in the PAM for the project to ensure the achievement of the overall objectives
of the Project.
The consultant is required to implement community consultation during the detailed design phase.
In order to ensure the approval process, the consultant should closely coordinate with the PMU
and related units to explain and update the changes and adjustments promptly and solve
problems arising in the detailed engineering design phase and also in the construction phase.
The entire expected plan for the construction package needs to be generalized in the document
of construction drawing design, showing specific requirements on resources (materials,
machines, and personnel), construction time, construction schedule for main items such as
embankment, pavement, bridges, works on the road. The recommendations of consultants need
to consider regional climate conditions and the specific construction conditions of the work to
ensure these proposals are feasible.
Risks that may affect the quality of construction, construction progress, labor safety and other
social risks (if any) during the construction process also need to be analyzed, and at the same
time, recommended preventive measures to ensure that risk factors in the construction phase are
always strictly controlled.
