Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Hasa wellhead

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) in Jordan is seeking a contractor to rehabilitate and upgrade wellhead structures and pump stations in the Tafilah Governorate through a competitive tender process. The project involves comprehensive infrastructure improvements, including upgrading three existing pumping stations (Hasa PS#1, PS#2, PS#3), rehabilitating 12 wellhead structures, implementing SCADA systems, replacing chlorination systems, and renovating administrative facilities. Eligible contractors must be Grade 1 or 2 in water/wastewater or electromechanical works, with international contractors required to partner with local contractors and provide a minimum 35% local contribution. Bidders must comply with USAID geographic code 937 and submit a tender security of 70,000 JOD valid for 180 days. Critical dates include the tender document purchase period from January 5-9, 2025, a pre-tender meeting and site visit on January 12, 2025, and the final submission deadline of January 29, 2025 at 12:00 pm local time.

The solicitation does not have a specific set-aside designation and will involve a two-stage evaluation process where technical proposals will be assessed before financial proposals are reviewed. The place of performance is At-Tafilah, Jordan, with the project focusing on upgrading pump stations that include four 400m3/hr pumps for PS1 and PS2, and six 300m3/hr pumps for PS3. Tender documents can be purchased for 500 JOD, and the project aims to enhance water infrastructure capabilities in the region. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the required tender security and complexity of the infrastructure upgrades suggest a significant investment in water system rehabilitation. The project represents a critical infrastructure improvement initiative funded by USAID to support water management and distribution in the Tafilah Governorate.
