*Phase 1: Feasibility study
*Phase 2: Detailed Design and Tender preparation.

Phase 1 will address the fundamental design parameters for the network and validate the scope of the project against demand, tarrif and traffic data. From this an outline technical design will be prepared which will be costed using standard costing techniques and the financial rate of return of the project calculated using income figures derived from the traffic and tariff data.
Phase 2 will extend this outline design into a detailed network design, for which technical specifications and commercial tender document will be prepared in the format required by the African development bank for ICB (International Competitive Bidding).
