ROYAL GOVERNMENT OF BHUTAN MINISTRY OF WORKS & HUMAN SETTLEMENT
THIMPHU : BHUTAN “Towards Quality Infrastructure”
FOREWORD
I am pleased to release the third edition of the Annual Information Bulletin 2009 of the Ministry of Works and Human Settlement. The first bulletin was published in 2007 and the subsequent issue of the bulletin was published there after. The Annual Information Bulletin 2009 will provide an update of important information on the state of road communication, urban and housing infrastructure and other related sectors in the country over the last one year. It has become increasingly important to have some basic information/data readily available at our disposal at any point in time. The bulletin is very much in line with the need to institutionalize a proper database system whereby any important data could be collected and reiterated in it for easy access. The Annual Information Bulletin 2006 contributed positively in the formulation of the 10th Five Year Plan of the ministry. Similarly, like in the past, it is expected to help in providing important decision inputs especially in view of the greater responsibilities and work load the ministry would have to take up in the 10th Five Year Plan. The Ministry is greatly indebted to all the focal persons for their support in bringing out the Annual Information Bulletin 2009. The capital budget of the ministry for the Financial Year July 2008-June 2009 is Nu. 3417.030 million. The details of the budget allocation for the financial year July 2008-June 2009 are as follows:
1. Secretariat - Nu. 1.655m 2. Department of Roads - Nu. 2317.686m 3. Department of Urban Development and Engineering Services - Nu. 379.408m 4. National Housing Development Corporation - Nu. 284.210m 5. Construction Development Board - Nu. 1.475m 6. Standards and Quality Control Authority - Nu. 11.823m 7. Thimphu City Corporation - Nu. 90.106m 8. Phuentsholing City Corporation - Nu. 40.00m
The ministry’s staff strength, including those posted to the Dzongkhags, Field Divisions and corporations is 1,546. Out of which 622 are posted in the 20 Dzongkhags, the detailed break of it are contained in the bulletin. It’s my sincere hope that the readers will find this bulletin informative and useful. We hope to improve it further every year and therefore, any suggestions and feedback will be highly appreciated. Yeshey Zimba Zhabtog Lyonpo

CHAPTER 1
MINISTRY OF WORKS & HUMAN SETTLEMENT
BACKGROUND Since the time planned economic development started in 1960, and following the subsequent Five Year Plans, infrastructure development, involving construction of buildings, roads, bridges, water supply, irrigation canals, etc., has formed the major capital investment of the government. In nearly five decades of planned economic development, the country has established many basic infrastructure facilities both in the growing urban towns as well as in the rural areas including the far-flung villages. The country, in further advancing to economic growth and attempting to strike a balance with traditional values of religion, culture and environment, there is a growing need for more and better infrastructure facilities. As much as the growth and changes have taken place in the provision of the infrastructure facilities, so has the organization that has been vested with this responsibility. The first organization formed in 1961 to look after the construction was called Bhutan Engineering Services, which in 1966 was renamed the Public Works Department (PWD). The Public Works Department, initially under the Ministry of Development and later under Ministry of Social Services was the main builder of infrastructure pertaining to both rural and urban settlements. Later, under the Ministry of Communications, the Department of Roads and the Department of Urban Development and Housing were the two main technical Departments. Although confronted by many new challenges brought by increasing demand from sectors like Education, Health, Urbanization pressure and the Private Sector, growth has been achieved in establishing the basic infrastructure facilities. During the re-structuring of the Royal Government, on "Enhancing Good Governance – Promoting Efficiency, Transparency and Accountability" in 1999, a number of recommendations emerged. One recommendation was to restructure the Ministry of Communications and a new Ministry for Construction later named as Ministry of Works & Human Settlement be established. Accordingly, the Ministry of Works and Human Settlement was established in 2003. VISION Due to changing demands for infrastructure services both quantitatively and qualitatively, the guiding strategies for effective services delivery will be pursued through wider application of commercial principles, encouragement of competition, decentralization and private sector participation, and increased user participation and user fees. These are nothing new but constitute the development strategies of the Royal Government. The role of the government is slowly shifting from being a provider to facilitator.

Thus the vision of the Ministry is: “To be a professional organization, competent in enabling provision of physical infrastructure of excellent quality, environmentally sound and embodying the Bhutanese cultural and traditional values to foster socio economic development.” VISION ELEMENTS
a) Excellent Quality – Physical infrastructure, which is technically of superior quality, cost
effective and which contributes to the economic development of the country, engaging the state of technical know-how in construction.
b) Environmentally Sound – the physical infrastructure will not pose any threat to the
pristine environment by its existence and during its construction. It shall draw upon the natural resources in an eco-friendly and sustainable basis from the environment.
c) Embodying the Bhutanese Culture and Tradition – the physical infrastructure shall
have deep reverence for the traditional designs and cultural values symbolized in the Bhutanese architecture. It shall blend and promote the cultural and traditional values manifested in the Bhutanese architecture.
PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF THE MINISTRY
Following the vision statement, the primary functions of the Ministry will be to:
• Formulate policies and develop plans related to physical infrastructures in the country; • Develop and implement Acts/regulations/standards related to physical infrastructure; • Engage in and coordinate capacity building of technical human resources in the country; • Set policies to promote appropriate construction industry; • Promote research and development that would serve to maintain a synergy between
technology, environment and traditional values; and • Develop plans and policies for proper human settlement through growth centers

CHAPTER 2
DEPARTMENT OF ROADS BACKGROUND Being landlocked, Bhutan is fully dependent on road network for transportation. Given the country’s mountainous terrain, provision of road services is extremely difficult and costly. Nevertheless, major investments until now have been channeled into road and bridge infrastructures due to the fact that national security and socio-economic development of the country largely depends on a safe, efficient and reliable road network. The further development of the road network as an important part of the expansion of strategic infrastructure programme will effectively contribute to the reduction of poverty, an overarching goal of the 10th Five Year Plan. This is evident from a series of studies, conducted within the country. In the Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping Study 2005, 37% of the most vulnerable Gewogs indicated that the improvement of road accessibility would reduce food insecurity in their Gewogs. Participatory Policy Impact Assessment (PPIA) of Rural Roads on Rural Poverty, conducted by the GNH Commission, also showed a similar result. Generally, roads help integrate rural communities and dispersed regions to the national economy and enjoy a greater share and benefits of development. A well connected national highway and road network system interlinked with rural feeder and farm roads would greatly help reduce rural and regional isolation, expand rural access to social services and urban/export markets and create conditions required to promote rural industrialization and non-farm enterprises. Additionally, the national road and transport connection between regional growth centres, national cities and the various small and medium towns would facilitate growth and development of urban areas and commercial hubs around the country. Currently, there are over 5964 km of roads of different categories comprising of 1685 km of Primary National Highways, 491km of Secondary National Highways, 883 km of Dzongkhag Roads, 207 km of Thromde Roads, 1396 km of Farm Roads and 1303 km of Access Roads (Access roads comprise of forest roads, health roads, education roads, telecommunications roads, power roads, private roads, project roads and public roads) The existing roads, rural road network in particular, still remains inadequate in terms of both connectivity and coverage. The Population and Housing Census (PHCB) 2005 indicates that 9.7% of the population live more than 6 hours walk away from the nearest motor road and that the rural households in six districts comprise about 73% of this percentage. The country is dependent on a single East-West national highway running through the northern part of the country. The absence of such an alternative transnational highway running through the south has constrained travel from one part of the country to the other. Furthermore, the existing road network is lengthy and susceptible to blocks due to natural calamities and heavy snowfalls. Owing to the difficult topography and resource constraints, roads are generally built following land contours with the minimum number of bridges as possible. Hence, the roads in general, are narrow with sharp curves and steep gradients, prone to

accidents. Most of the existing highways and bridges were also constructed at a time when the flow of traffic was very low. POLICIES & STRATEGIES The policy objectives of the road sector for the 10th Five Year Plan are to: Reduce poverty incidence and improve the quality of life of the rural population through enhanced rural accessibility; Enhance national security and solidarity through improved and expanded road network; Enhance road connectivity and capacity to facilitate the accelerated hydropower development; Consolidate environment friendly construction practices to minimize negative impact on the environment; Enhance the reliability, economy, safety, ease and comfort of road communication through reduction in travel time, road user costs, transportation costs of goods and services and traffic accidents; Promote and enhance private sector participation in the delivery of construction and maintenance of road and bridge infrastructures; and Build professionalism and engineering capacity of the sector in the areas of planning, design, monitoring, quality control and cost-effective construction of road and bridge infrastructure works. The key sectoral policy objectives of the sector will be attained through the following strategies: Expansion of the network of primary national highways, secondary national highways and Dzongkhag roads; Improvement of the major highway network by widening of carriageway, strengthening of pavement, improvement of geometrics, installation of safety measures and realignment of roads wherever feasible; Maintenance and upkeep of the road network to acceptable levels of safety, efficiency and serviceability by way of periodic and routine maintenance, monsoon damage restorations and snow clearances, etc.; Enhancement of professionalism in planning, development, management and operation of the road infrastructure through the following activities: Professional services for survey, investigation, design and supervision works as well as for imparting on-the-job and short-term in-country trainings; Collaboration with relevant agencies in the region and abroad in the fields of development and management of road and bridge infrastructure; Up-gradation of the tools and plants required for survey, investigation and design of road and bridge works; Promote/pursue studies for road tunneling and research on local construction materials for cost-effective use.

CHAPTER 3 DEPARTMENT OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT & ENGINEERING SERVICES
BACKGROUND The process of urbanization is nearly five decades old and unlike many other countries, where the establishment and growth of towns and cities has been influenced by economic potential, the development of towns in Bhutan initially resulted from the establishment of administrative centers. Today, the urban population has reached 31% (as of PHCB, 2005) of the total population and by 2020, it is envisaged that more than 50 % of the population will be living in the urban centers. With this rapidly growing urban population, the demand for planning and provision of adequate infrastructure for housing, water supply, and sanitation etc. has increased manifold. This calls for significant human and financial resources to promote a planned development and to reduce the urban issues and poverty. The erstwhile Bhutan Engineering Services was responsible for construction of buildings to accommodate the civil servants from the beginning of 1st Five Year Plan. This organization continued to serve the public construction functions in a new name called “Public Works Department”. In 1974 a committee was appointed to guide urban development and it was called Central Town Planning Committee (CTPC) consisting of all ministers and senior civil servants as members. In 1984 the CTPC was converted into National Urban Development Corporation (NUDC) and in 1989 the NUDC was renamed as the Department of Works and Housing by merging the non-road functions of the PWD. In 1993 the Departments of Roads and Works & Housing were merged and renamed the Public Works Division (PWD). The new PWD was then transferred to the Ministry of Communications.
In 1999 the roads and other functions were segregated and the Department of Urban Development and Housing (DUDH) was formed. The mandate of DUDH was to focus on urban development as the number of urban centers were rapidly increasing and urban problems like housing, infrastructure provision and municipal management issues were emerging, which need to be addressed comprehensively and efficiently.
Housing was separated from the department in 2003 and the DUDH was renamed as Department of Urban Development and Engineering Services (DUDES) during the First Annual Engineering Conference held at Gedu in 2004. Apart from the responsibilities associated to the urban sector and providing engineering services to all other agencies, DUDES was also made the parent Department for the Dzongkhag Engineering Sections.
The larger towns of Thimphu and Phuentsholing have City Corporations while other towns have municipalities under the chairmanship of respective Dzongdags. Thimphu and Phuentsholing are autonomous municipal corporations with charters. All other municipalities are called municipal corporations but function under the engineering section of Dzongkhag administration.
Annual Information Bulletin 2009
85
OBJECTIVES The main objectives of DUDES are:
• Achieve a balanced and sustainable development of human settlements; • Improved living standards and livelihood of urban residents; • Reviewing and preparing urban plans; • Carrying out reconnaissance study of potential urban growth centers; • Strengthening urban management capacity; • Delivering urban services in a consolidated and cost-effective manner; • Increasing participation of urban dwellers in the development and management of towns;
and • Addressing urban poverty.
STRATEGIES
• Undertake urban planning as an activity from the outset of development; • Building priority physical infrastructure; • Management of urban services through appropriate legislation and granting autonomy to
municipalities; and • Promote and preserve traditional architecture and environment.
SUSPENSION BRIDGES Pedestrian trail bridges, mule tracks and foot trails are the main forms of transport and communication in most parts of rural Bhutan. Trail bridges over the country’s deep river valleys can cut walking distance by several hours or sometimes even by more than a day. Therefore, the Government has placed high priority for the construction and improvement of trail suspension bridges and mule tracks in the rural areas since the Fourth Plan. The construction of suspension bridge is supported by the Swiss Government through SDC/ Helvetas. Swiss involvement started from 1985. Currently Suspension Bridge Program is in its sixth phase which started from July 2007 and will end in December 2010. At present there are a total of 350 existing bridges out of 456 constructed so far including 2 constructed with fund from the Swiss community and a 32 m span Bazam (traditional wooden cantilever bridge) over Wangchu at Changjiji. However, the 3 bridges are not included in Table. The Bazam was constructed to mark the occasion of the Centenary Celebrations and it benefits the students of Chang Bangdo Primary School to use the playing field situated on the other side of the river besides also allowing the city to enjoy the football matches held across the river. MULE TRACKS In order to facilitate rural access and interconnectivity, the construction of new and improvement of existing mule tracks is supported by providing funds to the Dzongkhags for tools, plants and construction materials like explosives, etc. The implementation is being done by the Dzongkhags with community participation in terms of unskilled labor.
Annual Information Bulletin 2009
86
Under the World Food Program contribution, a total of 151 Km of mule tracks has been constructed in three Dzongkhags namely, Trashigang, Monggar and Zhemgang. ISSUES & CHALLENGES i) Human Resources: - There are only nine trained Urban Planners in the country and few
are undergoing training. It is ironical that such small number of Urban Planners has to prepare urban development plans for more than 30 declared urban centers. In the absence of many colleges offering Urban Planning courses at the Under Graduate level, there are no candidates joining the department. These results into recruiting architects and engineers who have to under go a master’s course to become full fledged planners. Hence it takes time and financial resources to train planners. Thus, the ministry is managing the urban planning functions either by supporting the least available professionals with untrained engineers and architects or some works are outsourced.
ii) Though it is fully established that half of the Bhutanese population will settle in the urban
areas by 2020, a corresponding Human Resource Development Plan and Investment plans for development of such areas have not been prioritized.
iii) All the development works are funded through a formula based resource allocation, but
some of the urban development works are very expensive in nature and it crosses the formula based ceiling. So those Dzongkhags having rural development programs are not able to absorb such urban programs and are frequently requesting the center to take up such infrastructure development plan from the center. These calls for a review of formula based program as the local capacity and the ownership of such program cannot be guaranteed if all such programs are implemented by the center.
iv) The zero growth policy of the civil service becomes a major hurdle as the financial
allocation and the scope of work have increased tremendously resulting in Dzongkhag Engineers getting over loaded with the work.
v) Many of the plans and programs are delayed due to non-clearance of land issue by the
National Land Commission Secretariat.

b) CDB Secretariat The CDB Secretariat is responsible for all of the administrative and other operational functions of CDB. Notwithstanding the Secretariat’s role as coordinator, facilitator and enabler of Construction Industry, its ability to effectively carry out these tasks for the benefit of Bhutan’s construction industry will be dependent on its staffing levels.
• The Secretariat Administration Division will be headed by the Executive Director • Regulatory Division headed by Chief Regulatory Officer • Construction Promotion and Monitoring Section headed by a Executive Engineer • Research and Development Section headed by a Executive Engineer • Regional Office will be headed by Executive Engineer.
NATIONAL ARBITRATION COMMITTEE With rapid increase in contractual disputes of recent the construction industry faces a new dimension of challenge. While this rise in disputes in a way can be construed as development and better comprehension of the contracting procedures of our contractors, it does call for timely intervention by way of placing an appropriate arbitrary mechanism to resolve disputes speedily and effectively before it compounds with time. Although, the CDB by virtue of it being "a bridging organization between the private and public sector" has the responsibility to facilitate and to act as a neutral third party in settlement of disputes the arbitration system could not take off as envisaged. One of the main impediments to this has been the sheer lack of support by the agencies concerned. Efforts to arbitrate in the past have not been successful since the respondent (generally the procuring agencies) would not cooperate/respond. Request by CDB as the third party was often not honored by the agencies as a result of which the arbitration system attempted by CDB was unsuccessful. In light of above, as conveyed by the Secretary, MOWHS vide his letter No. MoWHS/SEC-36/2004/1441 dated 8th December 2004, the 246th session of the Coordination Committee Meeting of the Council of Ministers held on the 23rd November 2004 has kindly approved the establishment of a National Arbitration Committee.

A. REGISTRATION OF CONTRACTORS
As mandated by the Financial Manual 1988, the CDB shall establish and maintain the List of Registered Contractors which shall be divided into a number of classes and categories of works based on the financial capacity, technical capability and past experience. The registration system is a system of formal pre- qualification and is not limited to a particular contract. Proof of enrolment on CDB's Registration System should constitute a presumption of overall suitability, unless proved otherwise, and should qualify contractors to participate in the bidding within the range of their class and category of works.
B. REGISTRATION OF CONSULTANTS The CDB has the mandate to register consultants. In order to enhance professionalism and to provide the Procuring Agencies with a means of identifying a Consultant’s technical ability to perform the required services, all consultancy firms engaged in construction related activities are registered with the Construction Development Board (CDB).

CHAPTER 5
STANDARDS AND QUALITY CONTROL AUTHORITY BACKGROUND The Standards & Quality Control Authority (SQCA) was formed as a Division under the erstwhile Ministry of Communications in the year 2000 with the primary role of developing standards and promoting quality in the construction sector. Over the years, SQCA has prepared and produced over 25 standards in this sector (including guides, manuals and handbooks) which are serving commendable purposes in the construction industry today. SQCA has also been carrying out testing of construction materials, their certification and quality monitoring by way of field inspections at construction sites across the country. With the proposed accession of Bhutan to the World Trade Organization (WTO), and in keeping with the GG+ Recommendations of 2005, SQCA has been entrusted with additional responsibilities in the area of standardization, conformity assessment and metrology. The GG+ Recommendations establishes SQCA as the “focal agency for standards, which shall ultimately become the National Standards Organization”. The SQCA joined the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in January 2005 and the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) as an affiliate country in July 2006. These are significant steps that will help in the institution of a central standardization structure in the country. With regard to Bhutan’s WTO accession, SQCA was identified and set up as the National Enquiry Point on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), which is a requirement under WTO Agreements. The SQCA thus is responsible for the implementation of the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (dealing with technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment) in collaboration with relevant stakeholders. Since 2005, SQCA was also mandated to implement the Thimphu Valley Earthquake Risk Management Project (TVERMP) which basically dealt with studying the seismic vulnerability of buildings and capacity building in the area of retrofitting seismically unsafe buildings. In year 2008, SQCA was also mandated to implement the Earthquake Risk Reduction and Recovery Preparedness Project (ERRRP) to study the Earthquake Scenario in the SAARC region, through the Government of Japan funding. SQCA being a member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and a as a focal agency on the Technical Barrier to Trade on Bhutan’s Accession to WTO, the Asian Development Bank, during their Appraisal Mission from 19th to 24th August 2007, have identified SQCA as the implementing Agency for ADB-MSME Component 4: Planning the Establishment of Product Standards and Capacity Building. In the area of Metrology and Calibration, SQCA has established a referral Metrology Laboratory for calibration of four parameters; 1.Mass, 2.Temperature, 3.Pressure, and 4.Volume. SQCA has also established a National Accreditation Focal Point to facilitate accreditation of laboratories in the country.

THIMPHU VALLEY EARTHQUAKE RISK MANAGEMENT PROJECT (TVERMP) Under Royal Command, the TVERMP funded by UNDP had been initiated and spearheaded by SQCA in 2005. The project was designed to address two critical issues for earthquake risk reduction in the Thimphu Valley- (i) to formulate an earthquake disaster risk scenario (through vulnerability and capacity assessment) followed by development of an action plan, and (ii) to bring awareness/disseminate the seismic risk reduction needs of critical buildings in the Thimphu Valley. Under the project, Rapid Visual Screening of over 4500 buildings in Thimphu was carried out for seismic safety and detailed seismic evaluation was carried out on 15 buildings. A couple of consultative workshops were held and information/educational materials were distributed to stakeholders and the general public. Government engineers were familiarized with preliminary seismic assessment of buildings. EARTHQUAKE RISK REDUCTION & RECOVERY PEPAREDNESS PROJECT: This project is designed to strengthen the institutional and community level capacity to plan and implement earthquake risk reduction strategies and disaster recovery preparedness in Bhutan. It also seeks to establish regional cooperation through knowledge sharing and development of practices in the context of the SAARC Comprehensive Framework on Disaster Management agreed in February 2006. The two storied model house construction using the interlocking mud blocks is under construction.

CHAPTER 6
NATIONAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BACKGROUND The National Housing Development Corporation (NHDC) was instituted by Royal Government of Bhutan on 15 July 2003 as lead agency in the promotion and development of housing in Bhutan in line with the National Housing Policy 2002. However, NHDC started functioning as separate agency under Ministry of Works and Human Settlement with effect from September 2003 after shifting its head office to the present location above Dhoebum Lam. With rapid growth of urban centers in Bhutan, tremendous pressure is levied on the existing urban housing and infrastructures. This is particularly true for the urban centers of Thimphu and Phuentsholing with the supply of housing lagging far behind the demand. Private sector involvement in the housing sector is generally restricted to the commercially viable areas and housing for lower income groups is not seen as an attractive investment. Thus, the acute housing shortages in urban centers have greatly affected the low-income group. It is towards the purpose of addressing affordable housing for low-income group that NHDC was established in 2003 with the mission, “Basic Shelter for All” and to fulfill the vision of “Gross National Happiness.” OBJECTIVES The main objectives of NHDC are:
1. To provide safe, basic and affordable housing 2. To promote home ownership 3. To create a transparent and well functioning housing market
ROLES AND FUNCTIONS
To meet the above objectives, NHDC assumes the following key role and functions:
1. Oversee and monitor the housing program in the country 2. Develop, facilitate and manage low cost housing scheme of the government 3. Acquire land and facilitate infrastructure provision for housing development 4. Develop skills through manpower training program in various construction activities 5. Carry out research and development related to construction technology 6. Carry out housing market study and research 7. Facilitate private sector in the area of land and infrastructure subsidies 8. Develop and foster a private sector construction industry through financial & technical
assistance and support
Annual Information Bulletin 2009
124
DEVELOPMENT POLICY Towards achieving the above objectives, the following development policies are adopted by NHDC:
1. Facilitate housing provision to the low income group 2. Enhance housing affordability through low-cost housing construction
technique/technology and through appropriate incentives 3. Maintain adequate land for housing development 4. Promote private initiatives in housing supply 5. Maintain up-to-date relevant information on housing markets 6. Promote employment generation through enhanced construction industry
EXPECTED OUTPUT The expected long term and short term outputs of housing development activities of NHDC are:
1. Mitigation of housing shortages within the country 2. Improvement of health and hygiene 3. Enhancement of employment opportunities through increased construction activities 4. Increase in the socio-economic growth as a result of increase in housing stock and
construction industry 5. Improvement of skills of artisans and professionals 6. Reduction in unwanted slums and squatter settlements 7. Stabilization of housing rent through adequate supply of housing stock in the market 8. Enhancement of housing affordability
GOVERNMENT HOUSING STOCK
Existing Government Housing Stock
Prior to the establishment of NHDC, the information on government housing was not existent or scattered across the various government organizations in the country. However, since its inception, NHDC has attempted to collect data on existing government housing stocks in the country. A reasonably accurate and coherent housing data has now been established by NHDC. At present, there are 3326 government housing units of various classes in the country maintained by NHDC and the Dzongkhag administrations. This is exclusive of housing stocks maintained by other agencies such as Phuentsholing Dungkhag, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital, institutional buildings, etc. Error!

CHAPTER 8
PHUENTSHOLING CITY CORPORATION BACKGROUND From a small hamlet of scattered hutments in 1950’s, Phuentsholing town has seen unprecedented growth as of today, Phuentsholing has now become the commercial capital of Bhutan with almost all the trade and financial activities taking place everyday. The availability of cheap labour/materials on the Indian side of the boundary compounded by the increasing economy in Bhutan has accelerated the growth substantially. From a small population of 7000 in 1971 to 12000 in 1980, it has risen to about 22,500 in 2005. The Phuentsholing City Corporation (PCC) came into its being from 1983 onwards. Phuentsholing being the gateway to the Kingdom and also being the commercial capital has to cater to the residents as well as the floating population. By virtue of being the entry points, lot of commercial activities take place, Further, the problem is aggravated by increase in population, traffic flow, trade and most important the mega power projects which directly affect the activity in the city. As a result, the City Corporation has to respond to the demand of the resident for better living conditions. With the granting of the charter in 2006 and inclusion of the extended areas of Kabreytar, Dhamdara, Purbay, Rinchending and Pasakha within the municipal boundary, PCC has been entrusted with greater responsibility to manage and perform better. The municipal area has now increased from 1.86Sq.km to about 19.68 Sq. km. As per the development plan of Phuentsholing, three Local Area Plan (LAP) have been prepared namely, kabreytar, Dhamdara and Changmari. MANDATES & FUNCTIONS The PCC in accordance with the Thomde Act 2007 amongst others is responsible for the general function such as:-
• To provide such civic and other services as are essential for the general well being of the residents;

CHAPTER 9
CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT CORPORAITON BACKGROUND In line with the private sector development and corporate governance policy of the Government, initial plan to corporatize Mechanical Cell was conceived as early as mid-nineties. However, serious groundwork started only in mid 1997 whereby all mechanical engineering activities including machinery and workshop infrastructures were centralized under the Mechanical Cell at the Regional/Field level. The Joint Director (Mechanical) headed the Mechanical Cell but was administratively under the control of the Director, Department of Roads. It was made to run as a sort of Departmental Enterprise with commercial accounting system whereby all budgetary subsidies were withdrawn gradually. By 2002, budgetary support from the Government was completely withdrawn and it had to sustain fully from its own operation. Consequently, the erstwhile Mechanical Cell under the Department of Roads was formally corporatized with effect from July 2006 as per the recommendation of the GG Plus. It was renamed as the Construction Development Corporation Limited. VISION
• The vision of the Corporation is to develop into a premier engineering organization committed to transforming the current labour intensive construction industry into a mechanized one through application of technology and engineering principle conducive to national policies, capable of enhancing quality, speed, reliability and safety AND ultimately turning construction industry into an attractive employment sector for the Bhutanese Youths.
• To trigger modernization and mechanization of nascent local construction industry.
MISSION
• To streamline the management of Government construction machineries and vehicles resources under the Department of Roads in order to maximize their utilizations for the intended purpose, i.e. construction and maintenance of roads through transparent, accountable and efficient rental/hiring system.
• To enhance the availability of service throughout the country to ensure timely infrastructure developments thereby contributing to balanced economic development.
• To take lead role in introducing appropriate Construction technology and machinery. As a part of this CDCL will maintain or establish equipment bank.
• To venture into technology intensive Construction and help build capacity of local Construction industry through collaborations.
Annual Information Bulletin 2009
151
OBJECTIVES & FUNCTIONS
• To operate in consistent to sound corporate practices. • To promote transparency, accountability and efficiency in the utilization of
machineries and vehicles resources of the Government which were received through various bilateral/donor grants/aids for the construction and maintenance of Road Networks in the Country.
• To strengthen and enhance construction equipment services initially to the Department of Roads to achieve its targets and objectives and to cater to the construction industry as a whole.
• Eliminate the need for Department of Roads to create mechanical engineering wing under it.
• To spearhead mechanization in the constructions sector in an effort to enhance construction speed, quality, reliability and safety.
• To contribute to creating enabling environment for employment opportunities for the educated Bhutanese youths by introducing mechanised construction works vis-à-vis manual labour.
• To train and produce professional construction equipment operators, technicians and managers.
• To contribute to reducing/stabilizing the construction cost through standardizing the equipment hiring charges in the country.
• To maximize the utilization of qualified human resource capacity in order to invigorate the contribution of Mechanical Engineers and allied professionals of the Corporation for the successful nation building.
• To continuously explore for avenues of diversification potentials and take strategic plans and actions.
• To ensure sustainability of the Corporation. • To undertake any other responsibilities directed by the Royal Government. • To function as a premier engineering service provider rather than just an equipment
rental agency.

The Operation is supplying the boulders & all ranges of aggregates to the Department of Roads for road construction works and to the private sector companies as well in the Eastern Dzongkhags. Rental Charges of Equipment
As per the desire of the Government, the Construction Development Corporation Limited has been continuously making efforts to maintain a realistic and very competitive hire charge rates as it has a direct impact on the construction cost. Moreover, CDCL being a major player in the construction (machinery) sector the hire charge rates followed or adopted by CDC has a bearing on the market price as all other agencies private as well public tend to use our rates as benchmark/base reference. A single uniform hire charge system is being followed as per the directives of the Board. The revision of rates is based on the following major factors;
1. The depreciation to be charged only for those equipment which are under the economic useful life of seven years as per the Income Tax Act of the Kingdom of Bhutan 2001.
2. The overhead and administrative costs to be charged as per approved annual budget. 3. Revision of HSD, SK oil and lubricants cost at source. 4. Revision on pay scale and TA/DA of the Corporation, if any.
The existing rental charge of equipment/machinery is in effect from 1st April 2009 as per enclosed Table.
