| Brief Description of Assignment |
: |
1. The Saidabad WTP Phase III project (the Overall Project) comprises three components:
Component 1: A new raw water intake at Meghna River at a point with good water quality and transmission system to convey 950,000 m3/day to water treatment plants at Saidabad in Dhaka (with allowance for 50,000 m3/d losses).
Component 2: A New Water Treatment Plant (WTP) of 450,000 m3/day capacity and sludge treatment facility with capacity to treat sludge generated from the 900,000 m3/day of water treated by the existing Saidabad I & II WTPs and the new Saidabad III WTP.
Component 3: Extension of the primary and secondary distribution networks that carry the treated water to consumers.
Components 1 and 3 are funded by the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh (GoB), AFD, KfW and EIB and will be implemented as a single sub-project and Component 2 is funded by GoB and DBF as another sub-project.
This consultancy assignment relates to Components 1 & 3 and the consultants will be contracted to DWASA.
2. The assignment of the consultant shall consist of the Provision of Consultancy Services related to:
a) Support to the DWASA Project Management Unit (PMU) on the coordination of the project management of the Components 1 and 3;
b) Design, tendering and construction supervision of Components 1 and 3;
The wide-ranging tasks to be carried out by the Consultants can be grouped under the following Activities:
General
• Support to DWASA for project scheduling on Component 1 & 3, coordination with Component 2 project management consultant & contractor, reporting and communication with financing institutions
• Surveys and data collection; including substantial ground investigation and river surveys.
• Follow-up of the progress of the Meghna River protection Environmental Management Plan and of the Resettlement Action Plan;
• Review and update of the environmental and social studies

Including definition of technological solutions for raw water intake protection against physical shocks from vessels, against raw water pollution from oil spillage and from other origins. Although the contract will be let as a FIDIC Yellow Book, the PMC will do relatively detailed designs for the raw water pipelines.
• Preparation of the procurement strategy and the tender documents, support to DWASA during prequalification and tendering for Component 1
• Construction supervision as The Engineer for Component 1 (FIDIC Yellow Book);
Component 3
• Basic & detailed design of component 3 piping network connecting the Saidabad III WTP to DWASA distribution network (based on the existing feasibility study prepared in 2014, on DWASA updated network information, notably on latest development of DEWSP and DSWNIP network development projects)
