1 General Procurement Notice Date: 06 March 2014 Country/Borrower: People s Republic of Bangladesh Loan No BAN: Dhaka Environmentally Sustainable Water Supply Project Brief description of Project: The Government of the People s Republic of Bangladesh has applied for a loan from Asian Development Bank (ADB) to help finance 1 the cost of the Dhaka Environmentally Sustainable Water Supply Project. The project has three outputs, namely: (i) (ii) (iii) Output 1. New surface water supply system developed Output 2. Distribution network strengthened Output 3. Project management and administration adequately supported The project will provide a more reliable and improved security of water supply in Dhaka by developing a new surface water supply scheme for supply augmentation, includes the development of a water intake at Meghna River, a 22 km raw water transmission pipeline, a water treatment plant at Gandharbpur with capacity of 500 million liters per day, a treated water transmission pipeline to the existing water supply network, and distribution reinforcements. The project will also include distribution network improvements to reduce nonrevenue water; and will improve the quality of water supply services, including support to low-income communities. This is a general procurement notice for output 1. The proceeds of the loan are intended to be used for the procurement of works on Design, build and operation of facilities to abstract, convey and treat water for supply to Dhaka. This package comprises: (i) 2000 MLD, including pre-treatment (if necessary) and 500MLD raw water pumping station; (ii) 500 MLD ; and (iii) 500 MLD Water Treatment Plant, including treated water pumping station. The procurement method will use International Competitive Bidding under a two-stage bidding procedure. The bidding documents for this package are expected to be available in April 2014, subject to change. 1 The Government has also requested the Agence Française de Développement and European Investment Bank to jointly finance a part of civil works and equipment costs.

2 A roadshow in Dhaka is scheduled during March The roadshow intends to introduce the package to potential bidders as well as provide information to attract reputable international and local suppliers to participate in the project. Indicative qualification criteria (financial situation, general and particular experiences) are included as Appendix A to this GPN. The final qualification criteria will be stated in the Bidding Document. Interested parties who wish to obtain additional information may contact the following: Md.
