Power and Gas Infrastructure Project (PGIP) - Oversight

The PGIP assists the Government of Georgia (GOG) with strategic investments in the gas and power infrastructure to enhance Georgia's energy security. The project supports the operations of Georgian State Electrosystems (GSE), the Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation (GOGC), and provides oversight for design and implementation through an architect and engineer task order with Tetra Tech.

The base PGIP Activity includes the following three components:

• Component 1: electricity transmission component
• Component 2: gas transit infrastructure construction and rehabilitation component
• Component 3: infrastructure oversight and capacity building component

The additional funding for the Component 3 - PGIP Oversight activity, in the amount of $820,000, will allow adequate oversight of the electricity transmission and gas transit infrastructure components. Construction of these components is anticipated to be completed on or around September 30, 2014. There will be no new activities to the SOW already approved under this IQC. The extension will allow for oversight of the clean-up and close-out following end of construction. This is included in the already-approved Scope of Work as "Comprehensive construction oversight" and "Acceptance of constructed facilities and delivered goods."
