| Consulting Services | The TA will be implemented in two parts in order to strengthen the technical rationale for the project and streamline processing. Part A will include preparation of the Port Moresby Power System Masterplan and will require a total of 8 person-months. Part B will include project preparation due diligence and will require 20 person-months international consultants and 18 person months national consultants to be hired through a consulting firm. Consultants will be engaged by ADB in accordance with the Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2010, as amended from time to time). Part A consultants will be engaged as individual consultants and Part B consultants will be engaged through quality and cost based selection method (quality-cost ratio of 90:10)using simplified technical proposal. The equipment under the TA will be procured by the IA, following ADB's Procurement Guidelines (2010, as amended from time to time). The proceeds of the TA will be disbursed in line with ADB's Technical Assistance Disbursement Handbook (2010, as amended from time to time). The equipment procured under the TA will be turned over to the executing agency upon TA completion. The recruitment of consultants ongoing. |
