On April 10, 1951, the Bank made a loan of 416.5 million to Colombia for this purpose. This was the first step in a larger highway program recommended by the Colombian Economic Development Committee. The urgent need for improved roads did not permit making surveys, plans, detailed estimates and construction schedules before beginning work. Experience has shown that both the time required for completing the project and necessary equipment were substantially underestimated. Therefore, additional equipment should be provided in order to complete the project to adequate standards, and to cut down the time required for completion. Addi- tional foreign exchange of about S7.L4 million would be needed for this purpose and for related costs. In June 1952 the Bank agreed to increase the percentage of paved roads in the project from 155 to 50%. The higher dollar requirement of .>860,000 for this change was transferred from the contingency item in the List of Goods. Further experience has shown that it would be desirable that the percentage of roads to be paved should be further increased to about 82 g and that some new roads should be added to the project. This additional work will require about .3.57 million in foreign exchange. These above changes would increase the original foreign exchange estimates of the project by 410.71 million (from 46.5 million to "27.21 million) v;ith a corresponding increase in local currency requirements of about 67 million pesos. It has been increasingly evident that there must be a drastic reorganization of Colombiats highway maintenance facilities and practices. To implement this reorganization, it is proposed that any additional high- way loan include an amount to provide additional road maintenance equipment, shops, shop equipment and, for an initial period of at least tlTo years, trained and experienced outside engineers. The amount of foreign exchange required lor this purpose wrould be .,jl0.l million, of iwWhich the Bank is asked to provide 2.1J1 million in the proposed loan, The above foreign exchange estimates, with the addition of an amount for contingencies, would total 421.35 million, of wjhich '4.35 million is nowv requested by Colombia as a supplementary highasy loan. The project is sound and it is recommended that the Bank favorably consider an additional highvray loan to Colombia in the amount of "lh4.35 million. This loan would have a term of 10 years ';ith a grace period of two years on amortization payments.  A?PLATSj1 OF REVrSED HIGHWAY PROJECT - COLC131A I. Purpose and Scope of this Report 1. The Goverrment of Colombia has requested a supplementary loan of J1I.35 milion for the following purposes: (a) to complete the uroject financed by Loan i3 CO to adequate standards; (b) to provide additional equipment to accelerate cornstruction, to add new roads, and to increase the percentage of roads to be paved; (c) to establish a comprehensive maintenance program for the entire nati'onal highaay system. 2. The proceeds of the supplementary loan vrould be used to purchase additional construction equipmr.ent and materials, to meet increased administra- tive costs and contractors, fees and maintenance and shop equipment, and to empioy foreign personnel to direct the planning of the maintenance program and to assist in carrying it out. 3. T"he purpose of this report (wrhich supplements the previous technical report of lMarch 20, 1951) is to appraise the proposals of the Colombian Goverrment. II. The Present Situation 4. The original loan, made April 10, 1951 in the amount of y0l6.5 million, was for the purpose of enabling the Government of Colombia to proceed .;rith a three-year emergency project for the rehabilitation of Colornbia's principal highigays, as the first step in a larger program recommended by the Colombian Economic Committee. The total cost of the project was originally estimated to be 103.6 million pesos, of -which 70.6 million pesos (including a contingency allowance) was to be in local currency. The project consisted of: (a) the construction of arproximately 155 kilometers of nevw high- w-ays to provide connecting links in the trunk highwnay system; (b) the actual reconstruction and rehabilitation of about 2,834 kilometers of existing trunk highways; and (c) the establishment and maintenance of repair shops for ser- vicing the construction equipment to be purchased with the proceeds of the loan and for training Colombian personnel in the repair and use of the equipment and in the function of highw.ay maintenance. 1/ The original project included, by designation, an additional 72 Km of roads which did not require construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation. (See Table II, index).  -2- 6. The urgent need to provide improved highway service did not allow time, before initiating work, to make detailed surveys and prepare plans, speci.fications and construction schedules for the project. The general speci- fications agreed upon required the construction of roads of good standards and fitted to Colombian needs. Provision was made for carrying on final surveys, preparing plans and revising cost estinates as work progressed. The initial cost estimates wvere based on the best available information and, with the inclusion of a 15% contingency allowance, were considered sufficiently reali- istic. The Bank therefore proceeded wvith the Loan in the expectation that the semi-annual revisions of the estimates which the contractors were required to make would provide progressively better cost estimates as construction advanced. To provide the peso requirements for the project, the Colombian Government agreed to appropriate 23.5 million pesos each year for three years beginning in 1951, Five (now reduced to four) foreign contractors have been carrying out the project, including the training of Colombians in the operation and maintenance of the equipment. 7. In June 1952, the Colombian Government requested and the Bank agreed, that the Loan Igreement be amended to increase the amount of paving from 15% to 50% of the total roads in the proiect. Such an increase was considered technically desirable. As a result of this change, and a change in the exchange rate from 1.95 to 2.50 pesos per dollar, the total cost of the project expressed in pesop increased from 103.6 million pesos to 142.8 million pesos. The local currency requirements increased by 31 million pesos from 70.6 million to 101.5 million which the Government agreed to appropriate. The higher dollar requirements of :G6o,ooo for the additional work were obtained from the contingency item in the List of Goods. 8. Soon after the original loan was signed, the Bank employed and stationed in Colombia a resident highway engineering consultant. The original Consultant, and his successor, have advised and otherwise assisted the 11inistry of Public '$orks and the contractors in carrying out the project and have reported to the Bank on the progress of the vrork. Early this year the Consultant reported that the contractors were running into unexpected diffi- culties. These resulted from difficult terrain and the lack of sufficient heavy equipment to meet the problems encountered, particularly in slide removal. The consultant advised the Bank that, if the entire project mss to be completed, the contractors would either have to make a drastic reduction in engineering standards or obtain a substantial increase in dollar and peso funds. He therefore recornmended that the Bank consider a supplemental loan for the purchase of the necessary additional equipment. The Iiiinistry of Public lorks had also requested that the percentage of highwvays to be paved be increased from 50 to about 80. 9. In April conferences were held in Colombia with the then Iiinister of Public li;orks and with the contractors. It vras clear that additional equipment was needed and that the requested increase in paving would add greatly to the value and life of the roads. In addition, the M.linister agreed that a compre- hensive program for maintenance of the national highwvay system of Colombia should be adopted. Shortly after these conferences, a new Government came into power, including a new IMlinister of Public '4orks. This caused delay and necessitated additional conferences in Bogota. Considerable additional  -3- exper-ence wisas then available particularly in paving, and the loss of a dry season since the first conferences necessitated a review of equipment needs. A new study was therefore made of construction standards, additional equip- ment reeded to meet those standards, and the amount and types of paving best suited to the roads and the traffic. The project wvas then revised to reflect the results of the study and to incorporate mutually acceptable revisions proposed by the new Minister of .'ublic l,orks who indicated full accord with the project as revised. 10. Taking into account the difficulties which have been encountered, progress of work on the project has been satisfactory. As of J-uly 1, 1953, grading work had been completed on 0o% of the roads in the original project. Although this is somewhat behind the original schedulq the work completed in terms of Quantities of earth moved and materials used has been much greater than the original estimates. ill All wYork, including paving, has been completed on 224 km of roads. In addition, the full base has been completed on 835 lkm and grading has been completed on a further 356 km. In addition to their construction work, the contractors are maintaining 2,887 hm of tne roads in the original project. 12. Two permanent repair shops, located at Bogota and Bucaraznga ;4ave been completed and are teing utilized for the maintenance of construction equipment, III. Description of tne Revised Construction Project 13. Estimates have been prepared by the contractors,reviewed by Banm representatives and approved by the l.inistry of Public Uorks for the revised proiect. The estimate5 provide for additional conotruction equipment and materials and an increase in the roads to be paved to about 82-% of the total mileage, and are based or more realistic calc-lations of the amounts necessarxy to meet required engineering standards. The total estimated cost of the revised project for construction work exclusive of contingencies, is 236.6 million pesos, of which the foreign exchange costs would be :.27.2 millicn (68 million pesos) and llocal currency costs 168.6 million pesos (see Table I). 14. Of the increased expenditures to carry out the revised project, about 27.1 million and 38.7 million pesos are required to complete the original project to satisfactory standards, and to prepare the base for paving. The cost of inc;easing the paving from 50 i to 822-, and for the new roads added to the project is about i3-6i million and 28.4 million pesos. The two amounts comprise the 2;l0.7 million and 67.1 million pesos, the estimated additional required f=zds for the proiect. Thlese amounts are exclusive of contingencies, and without regard to the salvage value of the additional equipment.  -4- 15, It was originally estimated that the project could be completed by mid-1954, but due to delays in equipment deliveries, frequent mountain slides, the added time needed to pave more of the roads, and delays caused by the recent change in Government, the revised project, except for the Thnja - Barbosa road, is nowg scheduled for completion by the end of 1955. Extension of the construction period to about the end of 1956 would reduce expenditures for additional equipment by about QL million. However, addi- tional contractors' fees and administrative costs payable in dollars wvould be about 92 million, The salvage value of the additional equipment at the end of the project would be about Q2.0 million. The shorter construction period therefore represents no additional cost and provides for the com- pletion of these important highways at a much earlier date. 16. The revised Droject will require about 70,000 tons of liquid and solid asphalt. About 29,000 tons of road asphalt is produced in Colombia annually but requirements outside the project for local street construction and maintenance total about 21,000 tons annuallvy, leaving a net balance of 8,000 tons. However, many of the roads in the project are favorably located with reference to the sources of local asphalt and it is logical that these should be suppl'ed Prom local production. The lengthened onfl- struction period may make possible a greater4use of local asphalt than was i originally contemplated. Furthermore, some of the imported asphalt can be paid for wqith pesos. In addition, some of the asphalt currently used is being paid for 1with dollars acquired wvith pesos. For these reasons, and because of the size of the proposed loanj and because the borrower is wvilling to assure the conversion of pesos to the necessary foreign exchange for asphalt purchases, out of a total estimated cost of asphalt of the equivalent of h.4 million, all but 9864,0o0 is included as peso costs. 17. The revised project includes approximately 3,151 km of roads, an increase of 162 km over the original project of roads to be constructed or reconstructed. Of these 2,599 km, or 822P will be paved. Attached as Table II is a list of the roads in the proJect showing types of paving proposed.  -5- IV. Proposed MJaintenance Program 18. From the outset of its participation in the Colombian highwvay project, the Bank has been concerned about the inferior quality of highway maintenanace. Provisions were made in the original loan for setting up main- tenance shops and for the training of Colombian personnel in the use, servicing and repair of equipment. But it is increasingly apparent that these neasures snould be supplemented by a major reorganization w-rithin the Miinistry of Public liorks to set up an effective maintenance organization and program to assure that the new Bank-financed highways, once built, will not be allowed to detieriorate. The l;1inistry recognizes the inadequacy of its maintenance organization and of its current maintenance expenditures to care for the highlways as they are placed in service. 19. Discussions with the ;Iinister of Public aorks and his staff have led to the preparation of a long-range comprehensive program for maintenance of national highways in Colombia. The program would provide that roads once constructed or reconstructed would be kept in first class condition by constant routine maintenance. It would require that the road ?unds budgeted annually be adequate for the maintenance of all such roads, and an adequate proportion of the budget be exclusively reserved for such purposes. The pro- gram provides for a complete reorganization of the maintenance section in the 1.1inistry of Public Works, an adequate perrmanent staff, and for an initial period of au least two years, an experienced provisional director of main- tenance and eight additional engineering consultants from abroad. The program provides for the establishment in the M.1inistry of Public viorks of a Department of Highways to have overall responsibility for highway planning, construction and maintenance. The program also provides for setting up a modern Department of Highways and engaging a foreign Advisor on Highways wiho would advise and assist the Colombian Director of Highways for a minimum period of two years in organizing and operating the Department of Highways. 20. At present, funds for maintenance are combined in a budget item with funds for reconstruction, together amounting to approximately 19 million pesos in 1953. A disproportionate share of this amount is being used for such purposes as the reconstruction of unimproved roads, the removal of slides, bridge repairs, and the construction of new roads or the improvement -of roads for access of military personnel to remote areas* Under the plan proposed in the iaaintenance program, the budget would include an amount exclusively for routine maintenance of the serviceable roads, which would be based on the mileage of all such roads to be maintained, and wvould thus assure, so far as possible, the availability of adequate funds to preserve the country?s investment in its roads. The amount calculated to be necessary for maintenance in 1954 is 23.6 million pesos, and by 1957, it is estimated that the annual amount required, including equipment replacements, will level off at about 36.5 million pesos. 21. It is estimated in the program for maintenance that foreign exchange in the amount of o$10.1 million will be required. These funds would be used for: (a) purchase of additional maintenance equipment and parts;  -6- (b) purchase of additional shop equipment; and (c) payment of foreign personnel during the initial two years of the program. The Bank will be asked to provide $3.1 million of foreign exchange needed to start the program; the remaining 4$7 million required in 1954 plus the Local currency requirements will be provided from budget appropriations to the Ministry of Public -iorks. The division between what the Bank and the Ministry is expected to provide is as follows: IBRD Miinistry Item Dollars Pesos Shops Shop buildings, including contingencies 3,210,000 Shop equipment 525,000 Spare parts 50,000 Freight and insurance 290,000 Maintenance equipment Equipment and spare parts 2,200,000 17,500000 (1) Freight and insurance 4,000,000 Highway Scales 80,000 200,000 Personnel Foreign staff 245,000 300,000 TOTAL 3,100,000 25,500,000 22. The peso cost of shop construction and of freight and insurance on Bank financed equipment is included in the estimate of maintenance cost for 1954 and will be included in the national budget for that year. Similarly, the national budgets for 1954, 1955 and 1956 will include provision of pesos for the additional equipment, spare parts, and freight and insurance required to meet the expenditure schedules established in the maintenance program, 23. There is serious need in Colombia for the adoption and enforcement of weight limitation regulations on vehicles using the Orlombian highways. Overloading is prevalent particularly on trucks of lo.^er capacities and many commercial haulers are carrying gross loads far in excess of the capacity of / roads and bridges. Regulation measures are provided for in the maintenance program and funds are earmarked for the purchase of highway scales. (1) Budget appropriation in pesos to be converted to 07 million for purchase of maintenance equipment ($6.1 million) and spare parts ($900,000). The Colombian authorities have agreed to this conversion,  V.

The low contingency amount is justified by the fact that the estimates for equlpment, both in quantity and in price, in themselves, contain a contin- gency. An unallocated balance of approxiraately p221,000 remains in the original project and the 550 contingency is thus increased by that amount. Furthermaore, the construction estimates are based on actual cost eXperience and are considered to be conservative. The contingency as included, therefore, would provl-ide an overall margin against an overrun of the funds available for any part of the constriantion project. 25. It is proposed that 114.35 million of the additional foreign exchange costs wovld be provided by a su-plementary loan. The remaining foreign exchange costs and the additional peso requirements would be made available through supplementary allocations to the budget for this project in 1953, and by budget allocations in 1954 and 1955. 26. Expenditures on the five major construction contracts for the project to June 30, 1953 amounted to about $12.7 million and 52.8 million pesos. The schedule of ex-ected expenditures, excluding the cost of maintenance opera- tions, for the rerainJer of the construction period is estimated as follows: (1) Represents foreign exchange and peso costs of new maintenance equipment, shops and shop equipment to be borne by the lainistry of Public Works but does not include cost of maintenance operations.  Phased Construction Expenditures for Completing Bank Financed ighwa-vy Construction Dollar Expenditutres Peso Expenditures Year millions millions 1953 from July 1 7.26 29.C6 1954 4.96 54.74 1955 2.32 25.82 1956 0.01 4_01 Totals 14.55 113.63 27.

VI. Justification of the Prolect 28. The accompanying graph shows the growth of motor vehicle registration in Colombia in the period 1942 to 1951 inclusive. This graph indicates an increasing trend in trucks using Colombian highways of about 15% per year, and also that trucks in 1951 comprised about 39% of the total motor vehicles. Iraffic counts in sectors included in the project where traffic is primarily of a corn..ercial nature reveal that automobiles represent 22% of the traffic, busses about 13% and trucks about 65%. 29. The present coTnmercial rate for freight hauling by truck, wihile it varies widely from location to location, is approximately 0.15 pesos per ton kilometer (equiivalent to about 6{ per ton kilometer) where the typical haul is between 100 and 150 kilometers and where the retail price of gasoline is 0.57 pesos. Experi'ence of the Public Works Department in Colombia has shown that transportation of highway materials for distances of from 10 to 30 kilometers costs 0.27 pesos per ton kilometer on highways in poor condition, and 0.23 pesos on paved highways. Since the cost of the vehicle itself and its repair constitute important elemerAs of cost in such transportation, it is expected that improvements in aligiraent and paving will contribute d.irectly to a reduc- tion in these costs also by extending the useful life of the vehicles. 30. Even though there are insuffficient data to provide accurate forecast- ing of benefits to be expected from the present highway project, it should be expected. to decrease the cost of vehic'le operation. If this saving were estimated at only 0.04 pesos per ton-kilometer per year, whlch is in line with experience in other countries under comparable conditions, it would represent a saving of 8 million pesos per year for the 200 million ton kilometers esti- mated as the total tonnage to be transported over the 3,000 kilometers in the project. Furthermore, it could be considered that the paving of these roads  would cut.the depreciation costs of trucks hy 0.02 pesos. Such a reduction, aprlied to the 82g% of paved roads in the project, would represent an ad.ditionaW saving to truck owners of 3.2 rmillion pesos per year. These savings are in addit,on to the substantial reduction in road maintenance costs which will result from paving. 31. By placing in service a network of national highways, such as thiat included in the project, and as a consequence of the expanded national trans- port, the tax revenues from gasoline have already increased greatly and this trend mav be expected to continue. These revenues are at present just about sufficient to pay the annual anticipated expenditures of the Government for ordinary maintenance purposes. The present tax on gasoline in Colombia is 0.O8 pesos per U.S. gallon, the retail price ranging between 0.45 and 0.67 pesos per gallon. The gasoline tax yields have been as follows: Gasoline Tax Revenues First 6 months 1951 1952 of 1953 Gasoline tax (imillions of pesos) 3.3 12.6 8.0 VII. Recormendations 32. The revised road construction and maintenance project proposed by the Colombian Government is sound. It is recolmmenaded that a supplementary loan be consi.3ered for completion of this project in the amount of $14.35 million, having a term of 10 years with a grace teriod of 2 years. 33. Further Dank particiration in this project should be conditioned upon agreernent of the Government to adopt a comprehensive maintenance programl for the Colombian ITahtional highways satisfactory to the Bank, and to provide suffi- cient money to carry it out, including the adoption and enforcement of weight limiiitation regulations, satisfactory to the Bark, for Colombian highways. 34. It is recommended that the pre3ent arrangement Qf having a resident highway engineer represent the Bank in Colornbia for this special project be continued until construction is completed.
