• Anna Regina Area Water Supply System in Division 1 of Guyana Water Inc (GWI) (Region 2 of Guyana) - US$ 3.6 million, including US$ 3.3 million of IDA financing;
• Parika Area Water Supply System in GWI Division 2 (Region 3) - US$ 3.7 million, including US$ 3.3 million of IDA financing;

Component 2: Design, Project Management, and Supervision (US$ 0.9 million including US$ 0.8 million of IDA financing): The component will finance staff, consultant services and equipment to strengthen the capacity of GWI (Asset Development Team) to execute, supervise and monitor the results of the Project.

Component 3: Institutional Strengthening Component (US$ 0.30 million including US$ 0.27 million of IDA financing): The component will finance a technical assistance architecture around the Management Contract to bring the needed specialised skills and expertise to support GWI and its Board to turn GWI into a modern and efficient utility.

Component 4: Emergency Component (US$ 1.1 million, 100% IDA financed given the emergency nature of the intervention): The component will finance emergency rehabilitation and technical assistance investments associated with the January 2005 floods along the East Coast and West Coast of Demerara and in Georgetown in order to restore the ability of GWI to supply potable water and to dispose of wastewater in the affected areas.

Specific procurement notices for contracts to be bid under the World Bank’s international competitive bidding (ICB) procedures and for large-value consultants’ contracts will be announced, as they become available, in Development Business, dg-online and in local newspapers.
