ToRs are to some extent prescriptive in the sense that there must be certain “must have” content.
On the other hand, ToRs are written to satisfy certain objectives and will thus vary accordingly.
You gain experience with time and feedback from consultants and funding agencies

The genesis to the context and background to the ToR, is in many instances the disastrous consequences of a significant weather event as the following pictures show.

Keep it short and to the point.
The objective should be guided by the previous section on the context and background.
Some projects have multiple objectives
![Page 23: TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING … of Reference_Civil... · GUIDANCE NOTES This presentation ... Scope of Services ... Hydrology Coastal Defence](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051723/5aae2e6f7f8b9a25088be74e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING … of Reference_Civil... · GUIDANCE NOTES This presentation ... Scope of Services ... Hydrology Coastal Defence](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051723/5aae2e6f7f8b9a25088be74e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
This section speaks to the professional approach expected of the consultant
All hands on deck to cover all possibilities that may arise during the assignment
![Page 25: TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING … of Reference_Civil... · GUIDANCE NOTES This presentation ... Scope of Services ... Hydrology Coastal Defence](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051723/5aae2e6f7f8b9a25088be74e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
This section should not be too detailed as to prevent the experience of the consultant to contribute towards the solution.
You can include technical specifications for the various disciplines in Appendices
![Page 26: TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING … of Reference_Civil... · GUIDANCE NOTES This presentation ... Scope of Services ... Hydrology Coastal Defence](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051723/5aae2e6f7f8b9a25088be74e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
This may include but not be limited to the following :
Topographical Geotechnical EIA Hydraulic Hydrology Coastal Defence Design and
Supervision
![Page 27: TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING … of Reference_Civil... · GUIDANCE NOTES This presentation ... Scope of Services ... Hydrology Coastal Defence](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051723/5aae2e6f7f8b9a25088be74e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The content of this section is fairly constant
as shown in the ToR example.
On the client side, be careful not to include what cannot be provided as this will have cost implications.
![Page 28: TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING … of Reference_Civil... · GUIDANCE NOTES This presentation ... Scope of Services ... Hydrology Coastal Defence](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051723/5aae2e6f7f8b9a25088be74e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Remember to put timelines(delivery and review), number of copies for each deliverable
![Page 30: TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING … of Reference_Civil... · GUIDANCE NOTES This presentation ... Scope of Services ... Hydrology Coastal Defence](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051723/5aae2e6f7f8b9a25088be74e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Size and experience of team should be relevant to the scale of the project
Do not request unnecesary qualifications Remember some team members can
multitask Estimate man-days, based on personal
experience, previous consultants submissions and as a percentage of the construction cost
![Page 31: TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING … of Reference_Civil... · GUIDANCE NOTES This presentation ... Scope of Services ... Hydrology Coastal Defence](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051723/5aae2e6f7f8b9a25088be74e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
You can view a ToR as the consultants equivalent to a contractors Bills of Quantities, Specifications and Construction Drawings
