Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Feasibility Study and Provision of Detailed Designs and Supervision of Infrastructure Works for the Bullet Tree Falls Water Supply Sub-project, Cayo District.

The Government of Belize (GOB) has received financing from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) towards implementing the Belize Social Investment Fund III Loan Project (BSIF III), which aims to provide increased gender-equitable and inclusive access to climate-resilient infrastructure and quality basic social-services for poor and vulnerable communities. The Project comprises small-scale infrastructure works and capacity building for stakeholders. The GOB has appointed the Belize Social Investment Fund (BSIF) as the Implementing Agency (IA) for the Project, and intends to apply a portion of 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 GOB 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 GOB shall derive any rights from the Financing Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the Financing.

The BSIF, the IA, now wishes to procure consultancy services to undertake a feasibility study and to provide detailed designs and supervision of infrastructure works for the Bullet Tree Falls Water Supply Sub-project, Cayo District, Belize

The objective of the consultancy is to provide technical support to the IA during the implementation of the BSIF III Project. Consulting firms will be required to conduct feasibility studies for water supply infrastructure solutions, provide detailed designs for the most effective solution, and supervise contracted works relating to the proposed intervention. Feasibility studies will assess the socio-economic, financial, technical, and environmental viability of providing a climate resilient solution for the sourcing, transmission, and distribution of potable water to the community. The work shall also consider thematic areas such as gender assessments, and shall seek to integrate disaster mitigation measures into detailed designs. Consulting firms will also be required to provide technical inspection of construction works. The duration of the assignment is expected to be for a period of approximately thirty (30) months.

The BSIF now invites interested eligible consulting firms to submit Expressions of Interest (EOI) indicating qualifications and experience required to provide these Consultancy Services.
