SARAJEVO (Bosnia and Herzegovina), June 28 (SeeNews) – The Bosnian municipality of Visoko has invited consultants to express their interests in participating in a project to expand the municipal water supply network and repair the existing facilities, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) said.
The project includes the reconstruction of the existing facilities and expansion of the water supply system to connect additional 3,000 households with total population estimated at 11,000, the EBRD said in a statement late last week.
The project’s priority investment programme is estimated at around 6 million euro ($6.8 million) where the bank is planning to provide a loan up to 4.5 million euro, to be co-financed by a capital grant of 1.5 million euro from an international donor.
The consultant should provide assistance to the town's public water utility JKP Visoko in developing an efficient and focused financial and operational performance improvement programme, as well as to assist with developing and concluding a focused public service contract with the municipality that will include clear technical and financial performance requirements for the company and obligations on the municipality in support of achieving such requirements.
The assignment is expected to start in the fourth quarter and has an estimated overall duration of six months.
The deadline for the submission of bids is July 14.
