Scope of Work
Key elements of the scope of work include:
1. Project design, procurement, construction, and commissioning. The selected Respondent shall be solely responsible for designing the Project, and obtaining all necessary permits and approvals (e.g., building permits, interconnection), at no additional cost agreed to in the final contract. The selected company will be responsible, directly or via approved subcontractor(s), for timely procurement of all necessary components, installation and construction labor, and commissioning the completed Project
to the satisfaction of Solomon Power and relevant authorities.
2. Contracting. PCEP/SCEP intends to enter into a Direct Purchase Agreement (“Contract”), for the installation of the Project on the Premises.
3. Compliance with government requirements and regulations. The selected company will be responsible for complying with all requirements and regulations governing the use of the Premises and the installation and operation of the Project.
4. Corrosion. The Solomon Islands experience maritime wind action which carries salt laden air from the ocean across the islands. Salt deposition by the wind onto electrical infrastructure exacerbates corrosive activity. All equipment specified by the Contractor shall be suitably rated to ensure reliable operation for the design life under the influence of the wind-borne salt. It is recommended that a
corrosion rating of C5 shall be used in the design.
