All but one contract have been signed. The only contract still to be procured is for supervision at the Studena Pernik WTP. Neykovtsi dam and WTP's design finalization is delayed. Following another meeting between the designer and MRDPW team was held on October 12, 2017, an agreement was reached how to successfully complete the contract. Component 2 - Preparation of Regional Master Plans: Th activities under this component were successfully completed in March 2014. Component 3 - At Plovdivtsi dam and WTP, works are completed. The documentation necessary for issuance of Initial impounding permit is submitted to the Plovdiv River Basin Directorate in November, 2017, and the impoundment is expected to start in early 2018. Rehabilitation of the power line is being planned, and works will be done in line with safeguards requirements. Plovdivtsi forest road ESMP was disclosed on November 15, 2017. The forestry authority started the felling of trees before ESMP was finalized. As soon as the Bank was informed – the TTL requested to stop the felling. This happened because the felling of trees is responsibility of the forestry authority and per their annual plan was supposed to start before the winter. Studena dam rehabilitation works are ongoing with 15% physical progress. Current delay is 30 days from the original schedule, but contractor’s expectation is to catch up in the coming months. Luda Yana construction is progressing with 11% physical progress. The World Bank team reiterated the necessity to speed-up the construction. The actual disbursement is still low partially due to the fact that there are some delays in work certificate approvals and equipment purchased but still not installed.
