Loan No. 2174: Cycylone Emergency Assistance Project

The Cook Islands has applied for a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) towards the cost of Cyclone Emergency Assistance Project. The loan was approved 30 June 2005.

The Project will mitigate social and economic impacts of the 2005 cyclone damage by providing concessional resources for the Government to meet the costs of the recovery under a burden-shared recovery program and thus help the Government manage public finances prudently, despite additional and unforeseen recovery expenditures.

Procurement
Procurement of goods, services, and works will be carried out consistent with ADB Guidelines for Procurement with the flexible interpretation permitted for emergency assistance loans provided with ADB Disaster and Emergency Policy to ensure maximum expediency in implementing the recovery program. The proceeds of the ADB loan will finance imports of goods and services, local purchases, and civil works identified under the comprehensive damage assessment. Under ADB Guidelines for Procurement, these may be procured through direct purchase, international shopping, or local competitive bidding, as appropriate.

Consulting Services
Project management will require approximately 58 person-months of consulting services for a project manager; an accountant with a professional accountancy designation; and technical support for specific assessments, detailed design, contract supervision, and quality control. The Government will select these services in accordance with ADB's Guidelines on the Use of Consultants and other arrangements satisfactory to ADB for the engagement of domestic consultants.

Interested bidders from ADB's member countries who wish obtain additional information may contact:
