LAO PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
Lao Road Sector Project (LRSP)
GENERAL PROCUREMENT NOTICE
IDA Credit No.H547-LA
Project ID No.P102398

The Lao People’s Democratic Republic has received financing in the amount of US$27.8 million equivalent from the International Development Association (IDA) toward the cost of the Lao Road Sector Project (LRSP) and it intends to apply part of the proceeds to payments for goods, works and consulting services to be procured under this project.

The objective of the project is to improve road services on two main national corridors and the provincial road network, to recover the conditions of Typhoon Ketsana damaged roads, and to establish a contingency fund for quick disaster response in the road sector.

The project will include the following components:

Component A: Road Network Improvement and Preservation. This component will finance physical works for the upgrading of two critical national road links, the periodic maintenance of the provincial road network, and road safety improvements.

Component B: Institutional Strengthening. The component will provide technical assistance to both the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) and the Provincial Departments of Public Works and Transport (DPWT) in the areas of sector strategic management, local road management, country system for environmental safeguard, fiduciary management, and internal controls.

Component C: Disaster Recovery and Contingency. The component would fund spot rehabilitation and periodic maintenance of Typhoon Ketsana damaged roads in the five affected southern provinces, and support an emergency contingency fund that would disburse quickly for emergency civil works and construction materials needed to ensure the passability and safety of the affected national and provincial road links.

Procurement of civil work contracts financed by the Grant will be conducted through the procedures as specified in the World Bank's Guidelines: Procurement under IBRD Loans and IDA Credits, May 2004, Revised October 1, 2006, and is open to all bidders from eligible source countries as defined in the guidelines. Consulting services will be selected in accordance with the World Bank's Guidelines: Selection and Employment of Consultants by World Bank Borrowers, dated May 2004, revised October 2006.
