PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT CONTRACTS OFFICE; PROPOSAL SUBMISSION PLACE: Director General, Office National de l'Assainissement du Senegal, Direction Generale cite TP SOM n?4 Hann, Dakar, Senegal Phone: (221) 832-35-33 Fax: (221) 832-35-31 Feasibility Study: Corniche West Wastewater Collection and Treatment System Project. The Grantee invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from interested U.S. firms which are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to develop a feasibility study to evaluate the viability of wastewater collection and treatment facilities in the city of Dakar. Economic development and growth in Senegal has not always considered environmental issues in planning and implementation. Urbanization and industrialization has contributed significantly to the scale of pollution in the country, particularly in urban areas such as Dakar. Like many other countries in the region, considerable catch-up is required before public infrastructure elements such as water supply, sewerage and storm drainage are capable of supporting economic and urban growth, reducing poverty and enabling sustainable development. In March 2005, the Government of Senegal (GoS) published a Sectoral Policy Letter for Urban and Rural Water and Sanitation. The intent of this publication was to document the progress that had been made in Senegal in achieving the objectives for poverty reduction associated with the Millennium Development Goals - the UN blueprint for poverty reduction by 2015. Through its sectoral policy letter, the GoS has identified that the urban sanitation sector within the country faces a number of significant constraints. This includes the fact that the number of households that have access to proper sanitation facilities is significantly less than those that have access to water supply. To improve the urban sanitation situation, the GoS has given this sector a high priority, and established a strategy which has four main elements, namely: -The development of effective organizational and institutional frameworks for both water supply and sanitation services; -The reinforcement of its existing technical infrastructure as a result of increasing demand, a need to improve the quality of service, and the need to expand services to accommodate the growing population and geographical spread of the city; -The need to improve the financial balance by which expenditures associated with effective service will be offset by sufficient revenues to make those enhanced services sustainable; -The need to focus targeted actions on the reduction of poverty associated with the Millennium Development Goals. ONAS (the agency responsible for managing urban sanitation and operating the public sewer network within the country) has proposed a rehabilitation of the wastewater collection network that serves an older portion of Dakar (Corniche West). Currently, this wastewater is discharged into the ocean, with no treatment, about 200 yards from shore. In conjunction with rehabilitation of the collection pipes and evaluating the collection system, ONAS has plans for construction of a 10 to 20 million gallons per day treatment plant and a longer outfall pipe (the "Project"). This Feasibility Study would consider the technical and economic implications of both aspects of the Project. Terms of Reference Task 1. Data Collection and Review Task 2.

Final Report The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $418,908 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA).
