Country: BARBADOS Project: ROCKLEY TO COCONUT COURT AND HOLETOWN BEACH IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Construction Abstract: CONSTRUCTION OF COASTAL INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS Invitation for Prequalification Loan No. 1386/OC-BA This invitation for prequalification of contractors follows the General Procurement Notice for this project that appeared in the UN Development Business issue No. 560 of 16 June 2001. The Government of Barbados has applied to the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) for a loan for the partial financing of the Coastal Infrastructure Programme, and it intends to apply part of the proceeds of this loan to payments under the contract for construction of the Coastal Infrastructure Works. The principal objective of the Programme is to ensure a healthy environment and continued economic development of Barbados through improved management and conservation of the coastal zone. The Programme comprises a range of coastal management works and activities related to four specific objectives: (1) Shoreline stabilization and erosion control; (ii) restoration of coastal habitats; (iii) improvement of public coastal access and (iv) institutional strengthening for coastal management. In order to achieve these objectives a package of investment works, located at seven sites, are being designed and constructed for which five of the sites require prequalification. Of these five sites only one, the Rockley to Coconut Court and Holetown Beach Enhancement Projects, will be included as part of this prequalification and tender process. These projects will be tendered as separate projects but you may pre-qualify for one, all or any other combination of the projects. Accordingly, the Government of Barbados now invites qualified firms from eligible member countries of the IDB to indicate their interest in being pre-qualified to tender and tender for the investment works to be undertaken as part of the Coastal Infrastructure Programme. The method of prequalification is International Competitive Prequalification (ICP). The scope of works for the Programme consists of: --Securing site of work sites including installation of safety and/or security fencing; --Demolition and legal disposal of existing concrete structures, removal of existing armour stone, rock, sand, rubble, debris and miscellaneous material that interfere with the construction of new reinforced concrete structures, revetments, groynes and beaches. Certain stone and sand materials shall be salvaged from the works for reuse in the contract; --Holetown Beach Improvement: Construction of approximately 460 m of stone armoured revetment with integrated concrete walkways and public access portals. Extension of existing storm drainage structures, the rehabilitation and extension of a reinforced concrete pedestrian bridge, landscaping and the transportation and placement of owner provided beach nourishment sand; --Rockley to Coconut Court: Construction of approximately 1.3 km of timber boardwalk on a reinforced concrete frame supported on a concrete pile foundation. Integrated shore protection works comprise the reconstruction of one existing and six new stone armoured headlands and combinations of stepped reinforced concrete and stone armoured shore revetments. Extension of existing storm drains, installation of a new storm water sewerage system and the transportation and placement of 15,000 m3 of owner supplied beach nourishment sand as well as landscaping ; --All project works are subject to a one-year maintenance period. Construction of the offshore submerged reef will involve the placement of armour stones in depths of several meters of water. The Holetown project is not expected to exceed US$ 2,000,000 and the Rockley to Coconut Court Project, US$ 7,500,000. The approximate date for these works is April 2005 through April 2006.
