Location — northern part of Cyprus
Works contract forecast
1. Publication reference: EuropeAid/128062/C/WKS/CY
2. Procedure: Open.
3. Programme: Financial assistance programme to encourage the economic
development of the Turkish Cypriot community, Part II.
Sector programme for upgrading the quality and management of water supply
and sanitation services.
4. Financing: Budget line: 22.02 07 03 of the 2006 General Budget of the
European Communities.
5. Contracting authority: The European Community, represented by the
European Commission, B-Bruxelles/Brussel, in order to support the economic
development of the Turkish Cypriot community, in accordance with Council
Regulation (EC) No 389/2006 (OJ (2006) L 65/5).
6. Description of the contract: The aim of this project is to construct a
seawater desalination plant (and ancillary facilities, i.e. pumping
station and pipeline) in the Kümkoy/Sirianokhori area in the northern part
of Cyprus. The design capacity of the seawater desalination plant will be
24 112 m³ of drinking water per day through the conversion of seawater to
drinking water by the use of a series of treatment stages. These treatment
stages can be broken down into 5 distinct clarifications, namely
abstraction and screening, impurity removal, desalination, and
re-mineralisation and disinfection, and waste water treatment.
Seawater will be abstracted using a typical open seawater intake
structure. Abstracted water will gravitate to the seawater pump station.
Screened and chlorinated water will then be pumped approximately 2 500 m
to the desalination plant.
Following the abovementioned treatment stages the seawater will have been
treated to a level whereby it can be classified as water suitable for
human consumption, or drinking water (as defined by Drinking Water
Directive, Council Directive 98/83/EC along with other typical parameters
such as scaling potential and boron concentration). The process will
produce a liquid and solid by-product, the liquid stream will be returned
to the sea (following treatment) and the solid 'cake' will be removed from
site for disposal.
7. Indicative number and titles of lots: Not applicable.
8. Scheduled publication date of the procurement notice: March 2009.
9. Other information: Not applicable.
10. Legal basis: Council Regulation (EC) No 389/2006 of 27.2.2006 (OJ L
