THE OHANGWENA 2 WELLFIELD

Water Sector Support Program

Project ID No.: P-NA-E00-005

 

 

  1. Project Background :

The Government of the Republic of Namibia through the Ministry of Finance has received financing from the African Development Bank towards the cost of the Namibia Water Sector Support Program, and intends to apply part of the agreed amount of this loan for payments under the contract for provision of engineering consultancy services for the Ohangwena 2 Wellfield.

NamWater supplies bulk potable water from the Oshakati Purification Plant to several schemes, including the Omafo-Eenhana and Omakango-Onambutu pipeline schemes.

Due to the inadequate capacity and aging infrastructure of the schemes, there is now a need for the upgrading of the systems to ensure a secure and sustainable water supply to Eenhana as well as the rural communities along these pipelines.

The Consultancy Services include the design (inception, preliminary and final design) of the required water supply infrastructure; identify sites, drilling and pump testing of boreholes; Environmental and Social related services (ES); contractor procurement; contract administration; project management and construction supervision for a period of 12 months.

This invitation aims to prequalify suitable consultants to submit proposals for the Ohangwena 2 Wellfield.
