Expression of Interest For Marine And Coastal Modeling And Detailed Design Study in Maldives

Work Detail

Expression of Interest are invited for Marine and Coastal Modeling and Detailed Design Study. Possibility of contract extension In general, ADB consulting contracts may be extended to a reasonable degree when doing so is justified within ADBs core procurement principles. Any extensions are subject to operational needs, consultant performance, and continued availability of funds. Objective and Purpose of the Assignment The Ministry of Climate Change Environment and Energy (MCCEE), with funding support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), will be implementing a project on climate resilience. The overall objective of the Enhancing Climate Resilience and Food Security Project (hereinafter the Project) is to strengthen the climate resilience of inhabited islands and agri-food systems. Key features of the Project include enhancing the weather monitoring capacity to support informed climate decisions and safeguarding urban infrastructure, agricultural productivity and food security. The Project interventions are both physical (engineering measures and nature-based solutions) and institutional (broader climate change adaptation measures to address gaps in the institutional and regulatory environment and build capacity within government and local communities). Specific objectives for the Marine and Coastal Modeling and Detailed Design Study include: Collection of offshore and in-shore (forereef and reef flat) wave and current data to calibrate numerical models. This data should capture both monsoon seasons. Downscaling of waves to local conditions as boundary conditions for numerical models. A metamodel approach or fully dynamic downscaling method could be used as long as the method can be validated using in situ data. Data collection for high resolution bathymetry. Feasibility study data at 100m intervals needs to be supplemented with a resolution of at least 5m for high resolution numerical modelling. The feasibility of incorporating drone-based bathymetry for key areas to enhance data resolution must be investigated Data collection: Conduct a comprehensive initial drone survey to establish the baseline topography/bathymetry for the model. Implement quarterly monitoring, aligned with the monsoon seasons. Maintain flexibility to conduct additional surveys if significant events occur that could impact sediment dynamics Etc Tender Link : https://www.adb.org/projects/tenders/type/advance-notice-1536/type/firm-consulting-1566/type/general-procurement-notice-1526/type/invitation-bids-1521/type/invitation-prequalification-1611/type/other-notice-1531/type/prequalified-applicants-1616
