Advance Action on Recruitment of Consultants
Invitation for Submission of Expressions of Interest (EOI)
Consulting Services for Project Implementation
Country/ Borrower: Republic of the Philippines
Project: PHI: Philippine Energy Efficiency Project (Project No. 42001)
1. The Republic of the Philippines has applied a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) towards the financing of the Philippine Energy Efficiency Project (The Project). This EOI invitation is for the project implementation consulting services (PICS) sub-component.
2. The Department of Energy (DOE) will be Executing Agency for the Project and the Implementing Agency will be the Project Management Unit- Philippine Energy Efficiency Project (PMU-PEEP). Under the Project, DOE will implement the following programs:
- Retrofit of Government Buildings
- National Residential Lighting Program
- Public Lighting Retrofit Program
- Energy Efficiency Testing and Lamp Waste Management
- Super ESCO (Energy Service Company)
- Efficient-Building Initiative
3. In order to implement the Project, DOE will engage the services of a multidisciplinary team of international (40 person-months) and national (87 person-months) project management consultants (PMC). The international consultants will have experience in (i) implementation of large-scale efficient lighting projects including commercial, residential, and public lighting; (ii) energy-efficiency testing of appliances and capacity building; (iii) lamp waste management technologies and operation; (iv) design and management of energy-efficiency funds; and (v) design and facilitation of efficient-building projects. The national consultants are expected to have (i) a good understanding of the energy sector in the Philippines, and (ii) expertise in the conduct of monitoring and verification of energy-efficiency projects including the conduct of consumer surveys. PMC will also provide on-the-job training to the DOE staff in technical, contract administration, and financial management. The consultant team will work closely with the EC2 Corporation, the Super ESCO, to be established as a PNOC subsidiary, so that the staffs are skilled to run operations of an ESCO business independently at the end of the consultancy period. Refer to the Terms of Reference for detailed information.
4. The consulting services are expected to be implemented over a period of 24 months.
5. On behalf of DOE, the project management unit now invites eligible firms to submit their expressions of interest (EOI) in providing these consulting services, supported by documents that demonstrate experience and capacity to provide the above services, and the following:

6. The main part of the EOI shall be a specific brief of not more than five (5) pages, to be sent by electronic mail to the address given below. The five pages shall comprise a brief presentation of the firm or association, including the points mentioned at para. 5 above.

If consultants intend to associate with other firms, they should state in their EOI the composition and form of the association.
