UKRAINE: DONETSK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IMRPOVEMENT AND EXPANSION PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDY The Grantee invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from interested U.S. firms which are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to develop a feasibility study to:

1.determine the requirements for expanding/improving the airport facilities at Donetsk International Airport;
2.determine the viability of the latest design for a new terminal complex that the Grantee is proposing and propose two alternate schematic plans;
3.assess the financial feasibility of the three plans; and,
4.determine a financing strategy based on the use of multinational bank funds and local and private funding.

Donetsk Airport is the fourth largest airport in Ukraine. Donetsk Airport serves Donetsk Oblast and areas of heavily populated surrounding oblasts, so the total population of the area served by the airport is approximately six million. Donetsk Airport is the main hub of the fast-growing Ukrainian air carrier Donbassaero, and the airport also is served by other European airlines, such as Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines. The airport is owned by the Donetsk Oblast Council, which is responsible for development and upkeep of the terminal and associated facilities. The current Soviet-era passenger terminal building was built in the 1970s and does not meet current standards for international passenger facilities. Furthermore, Donetsk Airport has experienced rapid traffic growth over the last five years, with passenger traffic growing at a rate of 18% per year and aircraft movements increasing at a rate of more than 5% per year. Although airport officials report that the existing terminal is unable to effectively handle current traffic, recent projections estimate that the number of annual passengers at Donetsk Airport will increase from 650,000 in 2008 to more than one million by 2017.

The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $520,209 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA).
