Charles Airport Reference No. : DVRP-CS-QCBS-CFPS-01-14 Saint Lucia hasreceived financing from the World Bank towards the Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project (DVRP) and intends to applypart of the proceeds forconsulting services for a comprehensive flood protection of the Hewanorra International Airport and its environs and the George F.L. Charles Airport. The consulting services ("the Services") includeconductingof a pre-feasibility study and analysis of engineering mitigation and drainage options designed toprotect the airports'''' facilitiesfrom periodic flooding events. The Consultancy is to be undertaken over a period oftwelve months and covers three broad areas which include the following services: · Activity 1- Data Collectiono Collection of all relevant datarequired to support the development of engineering options to be presented. Such datashall include rainfall, wind, storm surge, tide, wave height data, bathymetry, piezometric head, andother relevant data ofsufficient quality to support the development of event return periods of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years with respect toanticipatedflooding. o Identification and mapping offlood water sources affecting the airport facility, including on andoffsite storm water discharges, surface runoff, streams andairport surfaces. o Carrying out all fieldinvestigations, engineering surveys as necessary, consultations / interviews and research required to collect, review and analyzeall data for modelling. Such data including topography, Land use, Hydrology includingpeizometric head and tidal influence, Meteorology, Geology, Aerial and hazard event data, Available records, photographs and otherresources and Data of past flood events o Characterization of the thecurrent hazard and vulnerabilities of the watersheds · Activity 2 - Modeling of Various Scenariosin Support of the Intervention Strategies o Modelling of flood scenarios andthe relevant data collected using the approved modeling methods for watershed, rainfall/runoff, stream flow, airport dischargecharacteristics, and related parameters. o Model the impact of the La TourneyRiver and supporting watershed. o Identify and model options forflood control interventions suitable for managing surface runoff and flood waters expected, with respect to the 5, 10, 25, 50 and100 year return periods. o Model past flood events forestimating flood impacts and flow dynamics; these models, as well as other maps produced, shallbe developed and presented in a formcompatible with ARCGIS and shallbe documented with appropriate metadata, as required by the Client. · Activity 3? Development ofEngineering Options o Develop appropriate engineeringcontrol options to include construction improvements and operational modifications in the case of the Airports to prevent ormitigate potential airport flooding. o Proposed interventions mustconform to ICAO and statutory requirements; a cost benefit analysis shall be provided for all of the options, giving justificationfor the recommended option. o Submit proposed site layout mapfor each option, noting type of activity or construction, general materials of constructionand approximate dimensions ofconstruction, estimated time for construction. o Recommend additional studiesrequired to support the recommended option. o Evaluate potential activities withrespect to appropriate return periods and submit an evaluation of identified alternatives together with gross cost estimates forconstruction. o Options shall be presented asindividual activities or suites of interventions, with respect to eachreturn period evaluated. o Alternatives shall be evaluatedwith respect to airportoperations and seek to eliminate or minimize the impact of potential flooding to airport infrastructure andoperations.
The Department of Planning andNational Development now invites eligible consulting firms ("Consultants") to indicate their interest in providing the Services.Interested Consultants should provideinformation demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experienceto perform the Services; (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability ofappropriate skills among staff, please note thatthe individual experts'''' bio data is not required.)
