- Description
- The United States of America, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (�MCC�) and the Government of Mongolia (the �Government�) have entered into a Millennium Challenge Compact for Millennium Challenge Account assistance to help facilitate poverty reduction through economic growth in Mongolia (the �Compact�) in the amount of 350 million USD (�MCC Funding�). The Government, acting through Millennium Challenge Account-Mongolia (the �MCA-Mongolia�), intends to apply a portion of the MCC Funding to eligible payments under a contract for which this Request for Consultants Qualification is issued. Any payments made by the MCA Entity under the proposed contract will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the Compact and related documents, including restrictions on the use and distribution of MCC Funding. No party other than the Government and the MCA Entity shall derive any rights from the Compact or have any claim to the proceeds of MCC Funding. The Compact and its related documents can be found on the MCC (www.mcc.gov) and MCA-Mongolia website (https://mca-mongolia.gov.mn/). The Compact will assist the Government in meeting the projected demand for water in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar for residential consumers and commercial and industrial users through a Water Supply Project, consisting of three closely related investment activities: A Downstream Wells Activity, to construct new groundwater wells with attendant transmission lines, reservoirs, and an advanced water purification plant (�AWPP�); A Wastewater Recycling Activity, to construct a new wastewater recycling plant and pipelines to provide high-quality treated wastewater that can be used instead of fresh water by water-intensive industries, thereby increasing the amount of fresh water available for household consumption; and A Water Sector Sustainability Activity, to support policy reforms, capacity building, and technical assistance to improve the long-term sustainability of Ulaanbaatar�s water supply. MCA-Mongolia now invites applications from eligible Individual Consultants to provide the consultant services to review Pre-Qualification Applications and/or Submission of bids from qualified firms.

The pre-qualification phase will be based on the MCC Standard Bidding Document (SBD) for Pre-Qualification of Works and will incorporate elements from MCC�s Quality and Price Based Selection process.
