Tender Details

The Mfum Border Joint Border Post Model constructed between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Republic of Cameroon is proposed to be adopted for the Transport Facilitation Component of the Mano River Union: Road Development and Transport Facilitation Programme. However, the Layout/General arrangement of the existing design would have to be matched against the site plan of the project site to establish a suitable orientation and disposition. Since there are no Survey Plan and Information for the JBP Sites, the recruited Design Consultant will establish the Survey Plan and Information.

2. The proposed/designed buildings and structural elements above ground level could be successfully adopted. Nonetheless, foundation elements could change since conditions between sites and even within sites would not be the same. Geotechnical investigations will have to be carried out at the project site (bearing capacity, etc) to enable proper design of the foundations to suit the site under consideration. For Civil Works (Road Alignment, Profiles, Cross-Sections, Drainage, Storm Sewers, Parking Lots, etc.) there is a need to carry out Topographic Surveys and Engineering Surveys to enable Engineering Designs of Geometric Elements, Approach Roads, Parking Lots, Drainage, etc.
