Chapter I Overview of Project Contract

I. Overview of the Project

Guangdong Province proposed to build a moderately prosperous society ahead of schedule in 2018 and to achieve China's first "Centenary Goal". It is also a crucial three years to further promote the prevention and control of water pollution and fully achieve the goal of water environment quality. The protection of the water environment concerns the vital interests of the people, building of a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and the Chinese Dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. At present, due to the relatively weak economic foundation and insufficient investment in water pollution control in Wujiang District, there is an urgent need to carry out a comprehensive investigation and renovation to solve the historical debt of environmental control.

A lot of infrastructure construction is required to drive the new round of economic development of our country. For current backwardness of sewage treatment and domestic garbage collection and transportation system in Wujiang District, it is a good opportunity to meet the national policy requirements of vigorously implementing PPP financing mode and promoting the transformation of government functions, and vigorously build environmental protection infrastructure to achieve the goal of being well-off in an all-round way under the environment of investment guarantee, policy support and rapid development in the process of sewage and domestic garbage treatment in villages and towns.

The infrastructure construction of sewage and domestic garbage collection and transportation at villages and towns is large-scale and requires huge investment, so we must adopt the PPP investment and financing mode, and change the role of the government as both "athlete" and "referee" to strengthen the function of planning and supervision. It is necessary to introduce powerful social capital and technology, comprehensively sort out the rationality of existing sewage and garbage treatment facilities with the help of its capital and technical advantages, improve construction of sewage and garbage treatment facilities, and enhance the overall efficiency of sewage and garbage treatment facilities to achieve efficiency.

According to the available data and on-the-spot investigation, the sewage at Chongyang Town, Jiangwan Town and Longgui Town in Wujiang District has not been treated effectively, and the foundation of overall sewage treatment construction is weak.

Longgui town is close to the domestic garbage landfill site, and the domestic garbage is collected and transported directly to the existing domestic garbage landfill site for disposal. However, Jiangwan Town and Chongyang Town are very far away from the domestic garbage landfill site, and the one-way transportation distance is even more than 50 km. The high transportation cost hinders the harmless treatment of local domestic garbage and it is urgent to find a new way out suitable for the local actual situation.

Construction of this project can improve the ecological investment environment of Wujiang District, increase the investment interest of domestic and foreign investors, promote and expand the relationship between regional economy and domestic and foreign economy, and drive sustainable social and economic development.

In a word, in accordance with the Government Purchase Law of the People's Republic of China, Regulations on Implementation of the Government Purchase Law, Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, Contract Law of the People's Republic of China, Guidance on Purchase of Services by the Government from Social Forces (issued by the State Office [2013] No. 96), Guidance of the State Council on Innovation of Investment and Financing Mechanisms in Key Areas to Encourage Social Investment (Guofa [2014] No. 60), Opinions on Promoting Third-Party Governance of Environmental Pollution (issued by the State Office [2014] No. 69), Guidance on Promoting Cooperation Model between Government and Social Capital in the Field of Public Services" (issued by the State Office [2015] No. 42), Notice on Issuance of Operational Guidelines for Cooperation Model between Government and Social Capital (trial) (Caijin [2014] No. 113), Guidance on Cooperation between Government and Social Capital (Development and Investment [2014] No. 2724), Notice on Issues Related to Implementation of Demonstration Projects on Cooperation between Government and Social Capital (Caijin [2014] No. 112), Notice on Deepening Cooperation between Government and Social Capital in the Field of Public Services (Caijin [2016] No. 90), Guidelines for Implementation of Government and Social Capital Cooperation Projects in Traditional Infrastructure" (Development and Reform Investment [2016] No. 2231), Notice on Full Implementation of the PPP Model for Government-Participated Sewage and Garbage Treatment Projects (Caijian [2017] No. 455), and other relevant laws, regulations, standards and norms. The financing needs of this project are clear, the preliminary work needs to be improved, and the

construction-operation-transfer (BOT) model is used to implement. This model introduces social capital in the early stage of the project, which completes survey and design (including project establishment), construction, operation and transfer of the project, which can make up for the lack of pre-project work. and give full play to the advantages such as advanced social capital technology and rich operation experience to achieve project life cycle cost control.

The actual unit price Pn of township sewage treatment operation and maintenance, rural sewage treatment operation and maintenance unit price, urban cleaning operation and maintenance unit price, rural cleaning operation and maintenance unit price, domestic garbage transfer operation and maintenance unit price and domestic garbage treatment operation and maintenance unit price at any time is the unit price of township sewage treatment operation and maintenance at that time, rural sewage management and maintenance unit price, The unit price of urban cleaning operation and maintenance, the unit price of rural cleaning operation and maintenance, the unit price of domestic garbage transfer operation and maintenance and the unit price of domestic garbage treatment operation and maintenance shall be multiplied by the price adjustment factor calculated according to the following formula. That is:

Pn=Pn-2 xk

Where:

Pn: Adjusted unit price of township sewage treatment operation and maintenance, rural sewage treatment operation and maintenance unit price, urban cleaning operation and maintenance unit price, rural cleaning operation and maintenance unit price, domestic garbage transfer operation and maintenance unit price and domestic garbage treatment operation and maintenance unit price in nth year.

Pn-2: Unit price of township sewage treatment operation and maintenance, rural sewage treatment operation and maintenance unit price, urban cleaning operation and maintenance unit price, rural cleaning operation and maintenance unit price, domestic garbage transfer operation and maintenance unit price and domestic garbage treatment operation and maintenance unit price in n-2th year.

K: price adjustment factor.

K=a (En/En-2)+bLn/Ln-2+cChn-1xChn-2+d (Taxn/ Taxn-2) +e+fCPIn-1 xCPIn-2

Where:

a = the proportion of electricity charges in the price composition.
b = the proportion of labor cost in the price composition.

c = the proportion of chemical consumption in the price composition.

d = the proportion of financial expenses in the price composition.

e = the proportion of depreciation and amortization in the price composition.

f = the proportion of other factors other than electricity, labor cost, chemicals, financial expenses and depreciation and amortization in the price composition.

a+b+c+d+e+f=100%

 

105 
 

 

The respective values of a, b, c, d, e and f are revised by Wujiang District Housing and Urban-Rural Planning and Construction Bureau according to the market situation changes every two (2) operating years and financial analysis in Party B's price adjustment report (as mentioned earlier).
N = The nth year is the year of price adjustment.

En=The electricity tariff index of Party B in the nth year (the electricity price per kilowatt-hour paid by Party B shall be calculated according to the average electricity price of the current year).

En-2 = The electricity tariff index of Party B in the n-2th year (the electricity price per kilowatt-hour paid by Party B shall be calculated according to the arithmetic average of the electricity price of the current year).

Ln=The average wages of on-duty workers in the industry of "Water Conservancy, Environment and Public facilities Management" for n-1th announced by Wujiang District Statistics Department in nth year.

Ln-2=The average wages of on-duty workers in "Water Conservancy, Environment and Public facilities Management Industry" for n-3th year announced by the statistics department of Wujiang District in n-2th year.

Chn-1 = Chemical raw material price index of "Industrial producer purchase Price Index" for the n-1th year announced by Wujiang District Statistics Department

Chn-2 = Chemical raw material price index of "Industrial producer purchase Price Index" for the n-2th year announced by Wujiang District Statistics Department

Taxn = The financial expenses of Party B in the nth year

Taxn-2=The financial expenses of Party B in the n-2th year

CPIn-1 = The consumer price index published by the statistical department of Wujiang District in the n-1th year.

CPIn-2 = The consumer price index published by the statistical department of Wujiang District in the n-2th years.

2) Price adjustment method:

a) The price is adjusted every two years. If the price adjustment factor K changes by more than 3%, the price shall be adjusted according to the price adjustment factor K.

b) If any of the components of K in a non-price adjustment year changes by more than 5%, the price of the current year can also be adjusted according to the price adjustment factor K of the current year.

The weight proportion of each price adjustment factor shall be determined on the signing date, and the values of E, L, Ch and CPI on the commercial operation date shall be confirmed after the signing of the agreement.

106 
 

 

If any of the above indexes cannot be obtained from the data published by the Wujiang District Bureau of Statistics, the index published by Shaoguan City or Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Statistics will be used instead. Since the Wujiang District Statistics Bureau provided the above-mentioned index, the Wujiang District Municipal Statistics Index has been adopted instead.

If the above index is revised or is no longer available by Wujiang District, Shaoguan City or Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Statistics between the starting commercial operation date and the handover date, the Wujiang District Housing and Urban-Rural Planning and Construction Bureau and Party B may agree on an alternative index, or if it cannot be agreed, it shall be determined in accordance with the "dispute settlement" Article of the PPP contract.

In this contract, if there is a change or increase in taxes and fees other than the original taxes and fees of Party B due to the applicable law, both parties shall supplement the price adjustment formula before the first price adjustment after the change, so that the impact of changes in related fees on service charges will be reflected in the price adjustment formula, and the specific matters will be agreed by both parties at that time.

If there are major changes in national laws, regulations, policies, norms and standards related to the project or changes proposed by the government (such as changes in transportation distance, etc.), which lead to significant changes in the investment or operating costs of the project, Party B will submit the change in the cost of health to the Housing and Construction Bureau for approval.

If the adjusted price fails to pass the hearing and the approval of the relevant government departments, it shall be made up by the government in the form of feasibility gap subsidy.

Definition of base year: The first price adjustment is based on the year in which the commercial operation date is started, and the starting date of the price adjustment cycle is taken as the starting date. The subsequent price shall be adjusted in the year in which the last price adjustment occurred as the base year, and the implementation date of the price adjustment shall be taken as the starting date of the price adjustment cycle.

(2) When the daily average influent COD concentration exceeds [120mg/L], Party B shall immediately report the situation to Party A. If the effluent quality after sewage treatment by Party B in accordance with the prudent engineering operation practice does not meet the standard, it shall not be regarded as Party B's breach of contract.

1.8 Consequences of excess influent of sewage

1.8.1 Excess influent of sewage

Since the commercial operation date, the actual inflow of Party B in any operation year is greater than the designed treatment water capacity of the project in that operation year (except for rural sub-projects), that is, the sum of the actual water inflow of each operating day in the operating year is greater than the designed treatment water volume X operating days of each operating day in that operating year, which is the excess of sewage inflow.

1.8.2 Consequences of excess influent of sewage.

For the sub-project of the town sewage treatment facility, when the average daily sewage intake of an operating month is greater than the design scale, Party B shall immediately issue a written application to Party A. Party A has verified that the sewage influent quality reaches a certain concentration and the emission reduction effect is obvious, and when the sewage influent quantity is sufficient, Party A may approve and agree to the sewage treatment operation on the designed scale in the next operating month. however, the average daily sewage intake of any sewage treatment facility project at the town shall not exceed [designed water volume X110%], and Party B shall treat all the sewage coming into the plant in the next operating month. The excess amount of sewage inflow shall be calculated and paid for the sewage treatment service charge according to the variable cost determined in the tender documents approved by the government submitted by the social capital party of the unit price of sewage treatment operation and maintenance.

For the town sewage treatment facility sub-project, if the actual water intake of a sub-project is more than 10% of the designed water treatment capacity of the sub-project in two consecutive operating years, Party B shall issue a written notice to Party A to elaborate on the expansion plan that it considers necessary and reasonable to expand the treatment capacity of the project, Party A shall determine whether to implement the upgrading and transformation, and the expansion plan shall be determined through consultation between the two parties.

1.9 Consequences of insufficient effluent from sewage treatment (for subprojects of sewage treatment facilities at villages and towns)

During the operation period, if the amount of effluent is insufficient, it shall be treated according to the following methods:

1.9.1 Insufficient effluent capacity of sewage

It means that Party B fails to dispose of the actual sewage inflow when the actual sewage inflow on an operation day does not exceed the designed treatment capacity of the project on the operation day.

1.9.2 Consequences of insufficient effluent capacity

Unless there is force majeure, Party B shall deduct the relevant sewage management service charge according to the performance appraisal in case of insufficient sewage output.

The specific cost shall be calculated in accordance with the requirements of this contract.

1.10 Minimum sewage supply of town sewage treatment plant

There is no minimum sewage supply for township sewage treatment plants.
