Assignment Title: Rustavi Solid Waste - PIU Support
Assignment Description: British Petroleum (“BP”) has funded the preparation of a project for an EU compliant landfill in the City of Rustavi (“Rustavi”). The landfill would serve Rustavi and the neighbouring city of Gardabani (“Gardabani”) (both cities located in the province of Kvemo Kartli), with a separate cell for BP’s own waste.
Rustavi is a city in the southeast of Georgia and the regional capital of the province of Kvemo Kartli situated 25 km southeast of the capital Tbilisi. It has a population of 116,000.
Gardabani is a town in the Georgian region of Kvemo Kartli, and the centre of the Gardabani district, located 39 km south of Georgia’s capital Tbilisi. The population is 20,000 people.
The City of Rustavi will establish a landfill management company (the “Company”) to take ownership of and to operate the landfill.
Alongside grant funding from BP and another international donor, the EBRD is seeking to provide a EUR 1.5 million sovereign loan to the Government of Georgia to be on-lent to the City of Rustavi, to support the construction of the landfill (the “Project”). The overall objective of the Project is to improve and expand solid waste management services in Rustavi and Gardabani with an integrated solid waste management programme comprising:

1. Construction of a sanitary landfill;
2. Supply of transportation vehicles and equipment to the Company;
3. Provision of institutional support to build sustainable operational performance of the Company.

The investments funded from the EBRD loan and the grants will be procured in accordance with the EBRD Procurement Policies and Rules (“PP&R”) for Public Sector projects. Rustavi, via a Project Implementation Unit (“PIU”) initially set up within the Rustavi Mayor’s Office (and later transferred to the Company once established), will manage procurement and implementation.
The PIU will have overall responsibility for the project and will co-ordinate all activities as well as cooperating between the Company (once established), the cities, the contractors, and the EBRD. To support the PIU in all aspects of project implementation, technical specifications, tender documentation, assistance with tendering, tender evaluation and contract finalisation, administration and supervision of the contract implementation, as well as set up of the disbursement system, the services of a reputable firm or consortium of firms (the “Consultant”) is required. The Consultant’s role will be to act as an adviser and to provide strong day-to-day project management input and full engineering and design services to ensure the project is well-implemented and on time.
The Consultant will provide assistance in procurement of works and goods completely in accordance with the procedures, specifications and documentation of the Bank and pursuant to all other agreements stipulated in the Loan Agreements signed between the City and EBRD.
Assignment Start Date and Duration: It is anticipated that the assignment will start in August 2009 with the duration of 2 years.
Maximum Budget available for the Assignment: EUR 427,130; Exclusive of VAT.
The consultant must determine whether any indirect taxes/VAT are chargeable on the proposed services and state the basis for such. If any indirect taxes/VAT are payable, the client will have to pay indirect taxes/VAT element to the services directly to the consultant/s unless otherwise agreed.
