OBJECTIVES OF THE CONSULTATION
The objectives of the Early Market Engagement are as follows:

• Assess market interest in the proposed project;
• Gather feedback on key project requirements, risks, and opportunities;
• Identify potential private sector partners;
• Optimize the structuring of the project before launching a possible call for tenders;
• Maximize the participation of qualified firms while respecting the principles of transparency, fairness and competition.

PROJECT PRESENTATION
According to the SDAEPGC study, the drinking water production needs for the city of Conakry at the end of 2024 are estimated at 400,000 m3/day. The existing production capacity being 150,000 m3/day, this leaves a deficit of 250,000 m3/day. This deficit will be 660,000 m3/day by 2040 if nothing is done.  
Three phases of work are envisaged to overcome this recurrent shortage of drinking water in Conakry. This project, known  as the Guinea Water and Sanitation Project (PEAG), is aimed at carrying out the works of the first tranche. 

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE
The project development objective is to increase access to safely managed water services in Greater Conakry and to strengthen the operational and organizational performance of water and sanitation institutions in Guinea.
Specifically, the project will:

1. Improve the living conditions of the people of the Greater Area through the provision of reliable and sustainable drinking water supply services;
2. Contribute to the improvement of sanitary and hygiene conditions, particularly in schools in Greater Conakry, and to the reduction of water-borne diseases;
3. Reduce the drudgery of water collection for women;
4. Contribute to poverty reduction;
5. Creating jobs;

WORKS PLANNED UNDER THE PROJECT
The project components are divided into several lots, which are:

• Lot 0: Water intake at the Grandes Chutes dam of 2.8 m3/s and raw water pipes at the Grandes Chutes-Yessoulou dam over 44 km in DN 1600 mm;
• Lot 1 : Yessoulou 4 treatment plant of 200,000 m3/day;
• Lots 2 and 3 : Treated water supply (51km DN300-DN1600mm);
• Lot 4,5,6,7 and 8 : Storage facilities (63,600 m3) and distribution networks (400 km);

Works for Lots 1 to 8 are planned through an International Competitive Bidding (ICB).
This Notice concerns lot 1 "Yessoulou IV treatment plant of 200,000 m3/day".

EXPECTED RESULTS OF THE PROJECT
The expected results are as follows:

• A new water intake with a capacity of 2.8 m3/s built at the falls dam;
• About 44 km of DN 1600 mm ductile iron raw water transmission pipes supplied and laid between the Grandes dam and Yessoulou;
• A new plant with a capacity of 200,000 m3/day built at Yessoulou;
• About 51 km of DN300 to DN 1600 mm ductile iron treated water transmission pipes supplied and installed;
• 6 semi-underground reinforced concrete tanks with a cumulative capacity of 63,500 m3 completed;
• A 500 m3 metal water tower built on the Kouria site;
• Approximately 390 km of HDPE (330 km, DN63 to 250 mm) and Ductile Iron (70 km, DN300 to 600mm) distribution networks supplied and laid;
• About 30,000 social connections and 29 standpipes built.
