Subject: Request for Expression of Interest (REOI) for the Preparation of Design and Technical Documents for the Construction of a Commercial Fish Feed Mill and Installation of a Solar Power System for Klay Hatchery

Reference No.: LR-NAFAA-502778-CQS

The government of Liberia through the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority (NaFAA) has received support from the World Bank Group toward the implementation of the “Liberia Sustainable Management of Fisheries Project (LSMFP)”, and intends to utilize part of the funds for the preparation of detailed design and technical documentation for the construction of a commercial fish feed mill and the installation of a solar powered system for the Klay Hatchery located in Klay, Bomi County, Liberia.

NaFAA envisions that the construction of the commercial fish feed mill at the hatchery will support research activities in the production of quality fish feed which will be made available on a commercial scale to the general public. To further ensure that the feed mill, which is en-housed at the Hatchery, is fully functional all year round, a solar powered system is to be developed and installed at the hatchery to cater to the electrical needs of the hatchery.

The objective of the assignment is to contract a consultant to do the technical aspects required and prepare complete Engineering and Architectural Designs, Technical Specifications and Bills of Quantities (BOQ), for the construction of the commercial fish feed mill and installation of a solar power system for the hatchery.
