The National Roads Improvement and Management Program will ensure the preservation of the national roads system, through three phases: design, initiation, and operation. This project covers Phase 1, and will establish a well-functioning preventive maintenance program, re-design the road management program, and design overall policy, and institutional reforms. There are two main components: 1) Civil works will include: a) road upgrading, to finance the rehabilitation, and upgrading of national roads through international competitive bidding, including consulting services for preparation, and supervision. Specific road projects will be financed individually, to include contingencies and consulting services, and, strengthening the implementing agency's institutional capacity will be attempted; b) preventive maintenance will be financed, for implementation by the Bureau of Maintenance, with works consisting of concrete overlays, resealing, and pavement repairs; and, c) long-term performance based maintenance, aiming at multi-year contract performance, will include routine, and periodic maintenance activities. 2) Institutional strengthening, will include the planning of, and financial, and human resources management for, business improvement; create a roads maintenance fund, and design an independent organization for policy, and institutional reforms; and, will support commercialization, to improve road financing.
