INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVE BIDDING

The Government of Ghana has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development Project and intends to apply part of the proceeds toward payments under the contracts for Drainage Improvement Works at Kaneshie Drain and Channel. For this contract, the Borrower shall process the payments using the Direct Payment disbursement method, as defined in the World Bank’s Disbursement Guidelines for Investment Project Financing.

  1. The Ministry of Works and Housing now invites sealed Bids from eligible Bidders for the reconstruction and capacity expansion of the primary drainage system in the Kaneshie area. Works are divided into two lots:
    1. Lot 1 consists of the demolition of the existing underground drain and the construction of a new cast-in-situ concrete double 5.0×2.0m cell underground box culvert, to be realized along the east-to-west carriageway of Dr. Busia Highway. The approximate length of intervention is 1,955 m, from Accra Academy to the so-called Pamprom junction (Nii Teiko Din street), where the new underground drain is going to connect to a recently constructed one of the same size. The expected duration of works is 12 months.
    2. Lot 2 consists of the demolition of the existing open channel on Osabiede Street, and the construction of a new cast-in-situ concrete single 5.0×2.0m cell underground box culvert, to be realized from opposite Accra Academy (Ghana Police station) to the confluence in the South Kaneshie channel, through Osabiede street, Ayikai Street and across the Ring Road W. The crossing with Ring Road W is to be realized under a separate assignment, not part of this contract. The approximate length of intervention is 2,300 m. Additionally, this lot of works includes the re-sectioning of the existing South Kaneshie channel by: (i) constructing a new rectangular open lined section (15.0×2.6m, cast-in-situ concrete) from Graphic road to the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) for about 815.0m; (ii) expanding the remaining natural stretch to a larger unlined trapezoidal open section (bottom design width is 15m and the top width is 25m) for approximately 860.0m, up to confluence in the Odaw river. This lot of works also includes the replacement of the existing vehicular South Kaneshie bridge (Abbosey Okai Street crossing over the South Kaneshie channel) with a new steel-concrete, simply supported, single 15m span (18m length) bridge. The expected duration of works is 18 months.
