Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Bathymetry Study Montego Bay Cooling District Project.
OVERVIEW
The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) intends to utilise resources from the Canadian Support to the Energy Sector in the Caribbean (CSES-C) Fund to support feasibility assessment for the Montego Bay Cooling District Project (Montego Bay, Jamaica), by funding a consultancy for a bathymetry study. CDB will apply a portion of the proceeds of this financing to eligible payments under a contract for which this invitation is issued. Payments shall not be made to persons or entities, or for any import of goods, if such payment or import, to the knowledge of CDB, is prohibited by a decision of the United Nations Security Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations.
CDB, the Executing Agency, through its Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Unit (REEEU), wishes to procure consultancy services for the purpose.
The general objective of the assignment is to undertake a bathymetry study to establish key information about the ocean thermal resource and seawater air conditioning potential. This includes temperatures, routes for piping, obstacles on the seabed, seabed features, including the structure of the deep ocean terrain in the Montego Bay Freeport area, targeted for a district cooling/Seawater air-conditioning project. The findings of the bathymetry study will therefore allow for technical and economic analyses, and will lay the basis for the subsequent conducting of an environment and social impact assessment.
The duration of the assignment is expected to be for a period of three (3) months.
CDB now invites eligible consulting firms to submit Expressions of Interest for the provision of these consulting services.
