Tender Details

1. The United States of America, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (“MCC”) and the Republic of Zambia, acting through its Government (the “Government” or “GRZ”) signed a Millennium Challenge Compact on May 10, 2012 (“the Compact”) that sets forth the terms and conditions upon which the MCC provided funding not exceeding Three Hundred and Fifty Four Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Seven Thousand Six Hundred and Forty United States Dollars (US354, 757, 640) to the Government (“MCC Funding”) for the Millennium Challenge Account program assistance to advance economic growth and reduce poverty in Zambia. The Government, acting through the Millennium Challenge Account-Zambia Limited (“The Employer”), intends to apply a portion of the MCC Funding to eligible payments under contracts for which the Invitation for Bids is issued. Any payments made under the proposed contracts will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the Compact and related documents, including restrictions on the use of MCC Funding. No party other than the Government and MCA-Zambia shall derive any rights from the Compact or have any claim to the proceeds of MCC Funding.

2. The Compact program will support the Lusaka Water Supply, Sanitation and Drainage (LWSSD) Project. The LWSSD Project will include infrastructure improvements for the intake/treatment plant, transmission lines, and the primary distribution network, along with specific interventions aimed at achieving reductions in unaccounted for or Non-Revenue Water (NRW); rehabilitation and expansion of certain water supply distribution lines; rehabilitation and expansion of certain sewer systems; and rehabilitation of specific drainage infrastructure.
