Technical requirements: Support, Supervision and Guidance of Design Works for the Development of Tender Documents in the Republic of Moldova
The IC will support, supervise and guide the NCs during the elaboration of designs and the drafting of tender documents for the implementation of 9 WSS construction measures. Feasibility Studies (FS) for all WSS projects were completed in 2016 and revised in 2017 and will serve as a technical basis.
The service of support, supervision and guidance will be facilitated through 3 concise field visits for each construction measure to the respective design teams in Moldova. GIZ considers up to 25 days altogether for each construction measure.
The first visit will be conducted shortly after commencement of the NC assignments. The IC will act as supervisor to the NC and shall thus ensure the development of suitable, adequately founded concept designs; potentially existing faults have to be eliminated.
The second visits will be conducted as midterm reviews and will provide the possibility of guiding the project’s development and make sure the design teams are still on the right track. Close supervision and guidance for the elaboration of specifications, drawings and BoQs will have to be conducted during these missions.
The third guiding visits will be conducted in order to finalize the tender documents for the particular construction measures. At the end of the assignment, a complete set of tender documents (ready to tender) shall be approved and available for each construction measure.
The ICs will work under the supervision of department G230 at GIZ and will report the level of elaboration of each construction measure after each field mission accordingly. The IC will confirm to G230 the availability of a completed set of tender documents for each construction measure under their responsibility. The internal approval for each measure will be awarded according to reports received from the IC.
The assignments do certainly have a significant capacity development component, but the main focus is on the development of quality tender documents.

The entire assignment will be conducted in several short-term missions to each construction measure. The International Consulting Firm (IC) will work closely together with the National Consultant (NC) to ensure the application of national and international standards during planning process. The IC shall support the NC with the development of the technical design and tender documents for the implementation of 10 WSS construction measures.
