TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR THE PROCESSING OF A PROPOSAL OF PHYSICAL RATING FOR THE UNIT OF URBAN DESIGN SAN BLAS

I. The Venezuelan government, interested in improving the urban and social situation of Caracas, is promoting a Project of Physical Rating of the Zones of Desarrollo No Controlado (ZDNC), denominated " PROMUEBA CARACAS - CAMEBA ". The project is in charge of the Foundation for the Development of the Community and Fomento Municipal (FUNDACOMUN) with the collaboration of the maximum organism of technical attendance, the National Council of the House (CONAVI) and with the support of the Bank the International of Reconstruction and Promotion (World Bank). As frame of reference for the preparation of the " PROMUEBA CARACAS - CAMEBA " will be used the study " Sectorial Plan of Incorporation to the Urban Structure of the Zone of Districts of the Metropolitan Area of Caracas and the Capital Region ", developed by the Civil Association " Encounter the International for the Rating of the Districts of the Third World " for the Ministry of Desarrollo Urbano (MINDUR), which presents/displays a proposal for the improvement and integration of the zones of development noncontrolled with the formal sector of the city. The plan conforms 13 Units of Planificación Física (UPF) that is its time include/understand 67 Units of Dise6no Urbano (UDU). The criteria of selection of the areas where " PROMUEBA CARACAS - CAMEBA " will be executed were defined in a day of work, made in August of the 1996, where they participated representing in FUNDACOMUN, national consultants and members of a mission of recognition of the World Bank. These criteria, among others, are the following ones: · Existence of communitarian organization · fast and effective Impact area of the investments · Areas of low geologic risk · earth Existence whose possession is of governmental function · Low levels of relocalización of families by risk or work execution anticipated in the mentioned Sectorial Plan. Based on these criteria it was determined to initiate project " PROMUEBA CARACAS - CAMEBA " in the Unit of Physical Planning of Petare Norte (UPF-4) and the Unit of Physical Planning of La Vega (UPF-10).

1, As first stage is advancing in the processing of the Special Plans for the City-planning Development of both Units of Physical Planning, these plans will compile the diagnoses and the proposals of formulated city-planning performances in the Sectorial Plan and other studies contracted by FUNDACOMUN. As well, the process for the accomplishment of the First drafts of Physical Rating of the Units of Urban Design is opened, that begins with an Aid of Ideas. 2, The resulting fundamental elements of the east Aid of Ideas will be incorporated to each one of the Special Plans of the UPF. The equipment responsible for the Special Plan will provide to the equipment in charge of the Plans of the Units of Urban Design, the estructurantes elements of the UPF, to being incorporated in the respective UDU: road layout, networks, equipment and houses of substitution.

During the mission of preparation carried out in February of 1998, the technicians of World Bank and FUNDACOMUN, identified the main phases of intervention in the selected UPF: Phase 1: Preliminary action On the one hand corresponds at the beginning of the processing of the Special Plans for the UPF and of the first drafts and greater work projects (estructurantes) in those N units Also one talks about to the approach to the community and the strategy of information, presentation of the rating program and its methodology, establishment of the first commitments, including the selection of the professional designers for the communities and the schemes of general layout of physical rating for each UDU. For each UPF, using like reference unit each UDU. Phase 2: Integrated diagnosis · talks about to the social and urban diagnosis in the level of the UDU. · demographic Diagnosis · outer Analyses of site with cadastre and physical training conditionses of the houses for the processing of the first drafts of urban design of physical rating.

Phase 3: First draft, implementation of the management model This phase covers the development with the first drafts of urban design and the establishment of the communal consensus on the schemes of general layout of physical rating. Also in this phase the projects of the first work fronts will be developed in each UDU and its construction will begin. All the previous one constitutes the implementation of the model of management at the level of UDU for the engineering project and urbanism. This leads to one fourth phase where, as of the second year, the construction processes will be increased.

Phase 4: Total intervention Application of the management model, work administration, registry and evaluation.

II. OBJECTIVES OF the PROPOSAL OF PHYSICAL RATING FOR the UNIT OF URBAN DESIGN SAN BLAS General mission: To promote the formation of the citizen and the social cohesion of the community through a flexible program that integrates the physical rating of the districts with operative of social character where the community participates actively in all the sections of the program. Specific objectives: To produce ideas for the physical rating of the districts based on a diagnosis and a program of city-planning performances pre-established. The ideas will be oriented a: · Resolver space the requirements of urban equipment · Proponer drawn up of internal road · Proponer solutions for the location and the design of the houses of substitution for reasons of equipment, road and geologic risk. III. ACTIVITIES 1) Elaborar a Plane of assembly (Scale 1:2.500) with the proposal of the physical rating of the districts. 2) Desarrollar schemes that explain the estructurantes elements and of interest of the proposal 3) Proponer a first work front, with schematic first draft of architecture and engineering.

IV. PRODUCTS TO GIVE 1) to Two 60 laminae of cms 90 xs cms 2) descriptive Memory simplified (Card) to V. COMPROMISOS OF the WINNING DESIGNERS Of the AID the winners of the aid will have to conform the work party properly described, with their tasks clearly defined and to present/display it to the contractor for their acceptance.
