Technical requirements: On behalf of the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the project ‘Green Municipalities’ implemented by GIZ in Algeria is supporting the efforts of the Algerian Ministry of Interior, Local Communities, and Territory Planning (MICLAT) to promote the use of Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) in Algerian municipalities.
Through this project GIZ will contribute by sharing German and international technical expertise on both, EE and RE. This includes:
— development and implementation of action plans for RE and EE in four pilot municipalities (Bechar, Djelfa, Relizane, Souk-Ahras). (output 1);
— promoting the exchange of experience between municipalities, on energy management within regional networks (Adrar, Jijel, Mascara and Msila). (output 2);
— development of selcted RE and EE technologies value chains and aiming at a better participation of local companies. (output 3);
— development of a regulatory and normative framework for grid integration of small PV installations and incentives for the promotion of RE and EE technologies and services. (output 4).
The following tender contributes to achievement of Output 1, which supports four pilot municipalities with the development and implementation of their RE and EE action plans. It is intended to embed the action plans in the municipalities and to promote the participation of citizens in decentralised structures. Major milestones for Output 1 are the draft action plans that are based on energy audits, the realisation of one RE and one EE measure for each pilot municipality, and the completion of two awareness-raising communication measures per pilot municipality.
To prepare this assignment, GIZ is currently supporting the 4 municipalities in auditing their assets, identifying their detailed energy consumption and energy saving potential. The audits are mainly walkthrough audits including data analysis of energy consumption (Electricity, gas and fuel) of the municipal structures (Schools, mosques, administrative building, street lighting etc.) with sample measurement that will be conducted in selected structures. It's highly likely that street lighting will be the highest electricity consumer followed by AC for schools, mosques, and other municipal buildings.
The contractor for the assignment at hand will build on the deliverables of the audit missions (this will include audit reports of the 4 municipalities, and draft action plans (short term and long terms) with proposed RE and EE measures.
— provide technical support for the municipalities in preparing and conducting the bidding procedures;
— provide trainings and advisory services to the officers in charge at the municipalities, and to the local implementing companies;
— train local actors to ensure the sustainability of the installation and support the municipality to implement a monitoring procedure to monitor the impact of the measures;
— assess the final impact during the project, of the different measures and provide detailed reports on implemented activities (energy savings, CO2 emission reduction, and cost savings), including knowledge transfer and impact of capacity building measures for municipal representatives taking part in the project.
GIZ may optionally commission contract amendments and/or increases based on the criteria in the tender documents to the successful bidder of this tender. For details, please see the terms of reference.
