FOR

THE OSHAKATI PURIFICATION PLANT EXTENSION

Water Sector Support Program

Financing Agreement reference: 2000200004682

Project ID No.: P-NA-E00-005

 

 

 

  1. Project Background :

The Government of the Republic of Namibia through the Ministry of Finance has received financing from the African Development Bank towards the cost of the Namibia Water Sector Support Program, and intends to apply part of the agreed amount of this loan for payments under the contract for provision of engineering consultancy services for the Oshakati Purification Plant Extension.

The Oshakati Water Works (OWW) is the heart of NamWater’s water supply in northern Namibia. However, due to the inadequate capacity, there is now a need for an additional plant. The additional plant will ensure that the future water demand in the central northern part of Namibia, especially to the urban centres and rural areas of the Oshana, Ohangwena and Oshikoto Regions is met.

The Consultancy Services include the design (inception, preliminary and final design) of an additional treatment plant with a capacity of 50 000 m3/day (for 20 hours operation), Environmental and Social related services (ES), contractor procurement, contract administration, and project management and construction supervision for a period of 24 months.

This invitation aims to prequalify suitable consultants to submit proposals for the extension of Oshakati Waterworks.

  1. The Expression of Interest :

The Namibia Water Corporation (NamWater) now invites eligible consultants to indicate their interest in providing these services. Interested consultants must provide information indicating that they are qualified to perform the services (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff, etc.). Consultants may constitute joint-ventures to enhance their chances of qualification.

Eligibility criteria, establishment of the short-list and the selection procedure shall be in accordance with the African Development Bank’s Procurement Policy for Bank Group Funded Operations, 2015 that is available on the Bank’s website at http://www.afdb.org.
