The Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, represented by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation has issued a request for qualification seeking private partner for Aqaba Amman Water Desalination and Conveyance Project (AAWDCP). The AAWDCP project will be implemented in two phases. The BOT contractor will be required to provide the GOJ with 130 mcm/year of domestic water in Phase I to meet its future needs for year 2025 onwards. The Phase I water source will be 100 mcm/year from desalinated water and 30 mcm/year from groundwater. Phase II of the project will be implemented in incremental increases to the system capacity up to 220 mcm/year. The schedule for the increment increases in the system capacity will be provided by the MWI during the definitive proposal phase. Accordingly, Phase II will be implemented in stages that commensurate with the MWI provided a schedule for the increment increases.

The project objectives are as follows :

• Design, construct and operate a seawater desalination plant for 100 mcm/year capacity with provision for expansion.
• Design, construct and operate a sea29water intake and outfall pipeline system as well as a conveyance pipeline and reservoir system for a 220 mcm/year capacity during the first phase.
• Design, construct and operate the conveyance system pumping stations for 220 mcm/year for the civil works and 100 mcm/year for the mechanical and electrical system (for the conveyance system pumping stations from the desalination plant to Wellfield) and 130 mcm/year for the mechanical and electrical system (for the conveyance system pumping stations located downstream from the Wellfield).

The deadline to submit the bids is June 29, 2020. You can find more information about this RFQ on our business opportunity page here.
