OVERVIEW

The Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (GOSVG) has applied for financing from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) towards the cost of consulting services for the Canouan Airport Runway Rehabilitation Project and intends to apply the proceeds to eligible payments under a contract for which this invitation is issued. Payments by CDB will be made only at the request of GOSVG and upon approval by CDB, and will be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement prohibits withdrawal from the financing account for the purpose of any payment 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. No party other than GOSVG shall derive any rights from the Financing Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the Financing.
The Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW), the Executing Agency, now wishes to procure consulting services for the conduct of studies and designs for the Canouan Airport Runway Rehabilitation.
The objective of the consulting services is to prepare a climate risk and vulnerability assessment, feasibility studies, preliminary and detailed designs, cost estimates and tender documents for the rehabilitation and upgrading of the runway and other pavements at Canouan Airport, together with drainage, fencing and any other infrastructural, institutional or other improvements required to ensure the sustainable operation of Canouan Airport.
Shortlisted firms will be required to generate a time frame for the consultancy services based on the Terms of Reference (TOR).
