Tender Description:

Tenders are invited for Solarization of Balanbal Borehole in Jariiban District of Puntland State of Somalia . CARE WASH teams technical field assessment in January 2023, revealed increased incidences of borehole breakdown due to long-running hours as well as an increase in queueing times at high-yielding boreholes because of increased water demands by human and livestock populations due to drought. The vulnerable people continue to consume unsafe water putting themselves at risk of waterborne diseases such as AWD/cholera as such, longer-term and more sustainable interventions such as borehole rehabilitations, provision of fast-moving parts, provision/replacement of gensets, submersible pumps and installation of solar as an alternative source of energy is a crucial effort at this time of the drought to increase access to safe drinking water for households and support livestock watering. About the Project In response to the effects of drought-affected populations in Jariban district, Puntland, CARE International secured six months (6) WASH intervention project (Jariban Emergency WASH Services), funded by Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF). As part of the Jariban Emergency WASH Services project. the organization is planning to rehabilitate and solarize one community-managed high-yielding and freshwater borehole to be implemented in Jariban district, Puntland. The borehole is currently supporting large human and livestock populations. The major rehabilitation and construction work needed includes replacement of worn-out borehole parts such as submersible pumps, generators, pipeline systems, water kiosks, and other essential components to ensure continued and increase water supply to the target population. Project objectives The project’s overall objective is to save lives through provision of equitable access to quality lifesaving WASH services to the most vulnerable drought-affected communities in the proposed target locations. CARE plans to implement an emergency WASH response to respond to the needs of several affected Women, Boys, Girls and vulnerable rural populations. in Jariban and Mudug region. The project which will run for 6 months aims to support 14,000 individuals from vulnerable rural and pastoralist households who were displaced by the drought. The project’s overall objective is to strengthen the response capacity of the affected households to respond to the effects of the ongoing drought. The purchasing power of the households in the target locations has been severely eroded by the drought because they lost their livestock to the drought and are currently not able to access basic household needs including adequate water. The expected results of the project include;(i) Improved access to safe and adequate water for the target households through the rehabilitation of high-yielding strategic boreholes(ii)The installation of solar as an alternative energy source will cushion both borehole operators and the water users by reducing the running costs and enhance water access at a time when water demand for both human and livestock populations are high(iii)The construction of household latrines will not only help in the reduction in the incidences of hygiene-related diseases but also enhance protection and safeguarding for women and girls In relation to the proposed project activities, CARE expects high-quality work from the successful vendor/s in water source under this intervention in the realization of value for money. CARE WASH engineers will provide the required BOQs and designs that are specific to the borehole based on the priority needs of the successful vendor/s. Some of the key Construction/rehabilitation and solarization activities under this project will include: - Provision of submersible pump - Replacement of the generator - Repair/replacement of the water reticulation piping networks - Construction/repair of water kiosks - Solarizations of boreholes - Borehole and solar wire fence for protection.
