Request for Proposal For Design, Engineering And Construction Of Decentralized Solid Waste Collection System ... in Korea South

Work Detail

Request for proposals for Design, Engineering and Construction of Decentralized Solid Waste Collection Systems (DEWACS) and Integrated Resource Recovery Centres (IRRCs) in Vientiane Capital, Lao PDR. PROJECT BACKGROUND: GGGI with funding from Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) has been implementing Phase I of the Wastewater and Solid Waste Treatment Capacity Building for City Environment Improvement in Lao PDR project during 2019-2024. This project assisted the Government of Lao in translating high-level commitment to sustainable urban development into actionable plans and on-ground infrastructure. The project has supported Lao PDRs transition towards the development of green cities by improving public health and sanitation, increasing access to waste management services and wastewater treatment, and creating green jobs. The five-year project worth $6.5 million has implemented three outcomes namely: (Outcome one) Improved capacity of Ministry of Public Works and Transport, Vientiane Capital and Pakse authorities to effectively manage green city development; (Outcome two) Improved access to waste collection services and waste-to-resource opportunities in Vientiane; and (Outcome three) Improved access to sanitation services and enhanced environmental conditions through wastewater treatment and management. The successful implementation of Phase I and the strong impact achieved in transitioning Lao PDR towards a green growth pathway, encouraged the GoL to seek further cooperation and extension of the partnership with Republic of Korea (RoK). Consequently, the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) requested for a renewal and scale up of the project into Phase II. The second phase broadly doubles the ambition and outcomes targeted under Phase I. To this end, the project value has been scaled up to $10.5 million. The project duration remains five years and will deliver the following three outcomes: Outcome 1: Strengthening the capacity of the Lao government in establishing enhanced green city plans and attracting green city investments Outcome 2: Improving the capacity of local governments in decentralized waste management and waste disposal and collection services Outcome 3: Capacity of local governments in wastewater treatment and wastewater treatment services enhanced This assignment is delivered under Outcome 2 and is primarily focused on designing, engineering and constructing the Decentralized Waste Collection System (DEWACS) and the Integrated Resource Recovery Centres (IRRCS) in two sites in Vientiane capital and Vientiane one site in Vang Vieng, Vientiane Province. DEWACS is a waste collection system which utilizes electric trucks to collect sorted organic waste and general waste in underserved areas and transfer the waste to feeder points before transportation to treatment facilities. The IRRC is a facility which houses a composting plant designed to treat and process organic waste collected through DEWACS. Since 2021, GGGI has been piloting the DEWACS in 3 villages in Sikhottabong district, Vientiane Capital, and operating an IRRC facility at Nahai village in Xaysetha district, Vientiane Capital and now seeks to scale up the DEWACS and IRRC model in 11 villages in Sikhottabong district and 6 villages in Sangthong district, Vientiane Capital; and 10 villages in Vang Vieng district, Vientiane Province. The project will also construct 3 IRRC facilities, expanding and increasing the capacity of the Nahai IRRC facility from the current 5 tons per day to 18 tons per day. The project will construct new IRRC facilities at Sangthong district, Vientiane Capital and Vang Vieng district, Vientiane Province. Important Timelines: The Tender Submission Deadline is 20 February 2025, 16:00 pm KST (Korean Standard Time) / 14:00 pm Lao Time (GMT+07). If any bidder has any request for clarification on the TOR or any part of the tender documents, GGGI will be happy to clarify if they are received on or before 7 days before the deadline (namely: if the tender submission deadline is 16:00 15 April KST, then the due date for submission of request for clarification is 16:00 8 April KST).
