'SEISMIC RESILIENCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS'
The Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Seismic Resilience and Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings Project (SREEPB) and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.
REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (CONSULTING SERVICES – FIRMS SELECTION-QCBS) REPUBLIC OF TURKEY MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT, URBANISATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE (MOEUCC) GENERAL DIRECTORATE of CONSTRUCTION AFFAIRS (GDCA) SEISMIC RESILIENCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS PROJECT.
Technical Assistance for Advanced Engineering Practices and Capacity Building Reference No: (WB/CS-TA-02).
The Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Seismic Resilience and Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings Project (SREEPB) and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services. In addition to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) loan, advanced technical assistance and capacity building component of the Project will be supported through a Recipient Executed Trust Fund (RETF) which is financed by the Government of Japan and managed by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR).
The General Directorate of Construction Affairs (“GDCA”) of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change (MoEUCC) serves as the main implementing agency for the Project. A project implementation unit (PIU) has been established under GDCA to manage the activities related to the Project. The project investments will focus primarily to improve the disaster resilience and energy savings in selected central government buildings, and to strengthen the policy framework and institutional capacity to develop, finance and implement resilient and sustainable public buildings in Turkey.
The consulting services (“the Services”) require the Consultant to (i) explore current seismic retrofit and energy efficiency practices and challenges in Turkey within the private and public sector (ii) identify proven best engineering practices for seismic retrofit and EE of existing buildings and for improved design of new buildings, minimizing the cost, construction time, and service disruption during works (iii) develop training programs (workshops, online and in-person training courses, seminars, etc.) and prepare technical reports, handbooks and guidelines on identified engineering techniques for both existing and new buildings (iv) review global best practices for rapid, low-cost, robust, and consistent engineering assessments of buildings and the potential development of similar tools for use in Turkey (v) provide technical assistance for the application of selected retrofit techniques to a subset of public buildings that will be retrofitted under Component 1 of the SREEPB Project (vi)study feasibility of selected retrofit techniques on five (5) case study buildings that will be provided, (vii) organize a technical site visit abroad to investigate the best practices on retrofitted buildings. Following table briefly indicates the tasks to be provided under the scope of the Services.
