- The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania (GoT) has received a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) towards the cost of the Dar es Salaam Urban Transport Improvement Project (DUTP). Part of the proceeds of this credit will be used to fund advisory support to guide the redevelopment of station areas along the Dar es Salaam Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridors.
- . The purpose of this document is to invite the submission of proposals to provide Transaction Advisory services to the Dar Rapid Transit Agency (DART). The work to be undertaken by the advisors (Consultant) will be to assist the Client in attracting private sector investment and in developing transit oriented development (TOD) pilot projects based on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement along BRT corridors at Kivukoni and Gerezani DART’s terminals in Dar-es-Salaam. The work of the Consultant will be funded through the DUTP.
- TOD is a high-value complement to mass transit development, with the dual benefits of;
- attracting a higher ridership base that enhances the economic and financial viability of the mass transit investment, reducing the need for subsidies; and
- maximizing the accessibility benefits of the mass transit system. The design components of TOD include densification of urban areas with good accessibility to public transit, high-quality and connected public transit networks and high-quality non-motorized transport, mixed-use development, creation of public and green spaces, and resilience. Ensuring that TOD projects are successful also requires careful consideration of infrastructure requirements needed to sustain increased densities.
4. Supported by a sound regulatory framework and adequate incentives to foster private investment, built environment and real estate transformations around key BRT stations have the potential to support vibrant and livable communities. High quality urban design TOD in highly accessible nodes also has the potential for land-based value capture (LVC) mechanisms to help finance transport and other public infrastructure by capturing the capitalization of accessibility and urban renewal benefits on land values brought by the transit infrastructure/TOD. This, in turn, creates an opportunity to include the private sector through PPPs in the joint development of not only transit infrastructure but also of other much needed investments such as housing, schools, pedestrian infrastructure, and public space
5.
