This request for expressions of interest follows the general procurement notice for this project that appeared in Development Business of 3 March 2010

The Republic of Botswana has received a loan from the African Development Bank, and intends to apply part of the proceeds of this loan to payments under the contract for Consultancy Services for Construction Supervision of Road Network and Drainage Systems for Pandamatenga Farming Area.

The consulting services involve contract supervision of the construction of water control and access road network over approximately 30,000 ha of farm land in Pandamatenga area in the northeastern part of Botswana about 900 km north of Gaborone. The works involve, in general, construction of a 190 km of gravel wearing surface on treated sub-grades of gravel, and construction of a drainage system consisting of on-farm earthen channels that discharge into main channels and related outlet structures. The scope of consultancy services involve (i) rapid review of the detailed engineering design and verification of the tender documents, and update engineer’s cost estimates for the works as designed; (ii) evaluating the contractor’s proposal including the work plan, schedule, personnel and proposed technology; (iii) supervise construction of the road network and ancillary structures; (iv) supervise the construction of on-farm and main drainage network and related structures; (v) verification and approval of construction materials and any design drawings; (vi) work progress reporting at agreed intervals; (vii) process interim and final payments to the contractor; (viii) superintendence during the defects liability period; and (ix) prepare project completion reports. The total construction period is estimated at 36 months, which is expected to commence by December 2010.
