- Description
- Georgia has received the grant from the USAID for financing of the Improved Infrastructure, Economic opportunities, and Support for Internally Displaced Persons and intends to use the part of this fund for the Preparation of the Detailed Engineering Design, Bidding Documentation Package and Provision of Design Inspection Services for Rehabilitation Works for Dusheti Gorge Flood Protection in Dusheti Town. Dusheti is an administrative center of Dusheti Municipality. Dusheti is located in the east of Georgia and belongs to Mtskheta-Mtianeti Administration. The Dudhetiskhevi River rises in the mountains above Dusheti town. The river's source is in the mountains and it flows into River Aragvi. The length of the river is about 13 km with a catchment area of 36.3 km2. The River flows southwest through Dusheti town and then meets the Aragvi River 4.8 km below the town. High flows generally occur in the spring and are associated with snow melt runoff and high spring precipitation. Specific flow data is not available for the Dushetiskhevi River. The River length through Dusheti town is 3.2 km. There are three river crossing structures in Dusheti -one bridge and two bridge culvert structures. The River is on a steep slope through the city. Along both the left and right bank there has been human encroachment. The two bridge culverts are not able to pass high flood flows without water overflowing the banks. This has caused damage to fields, structures, property and injury and loss of animals and in 2005, town residents. Overall management and coordination of procurement and rehabilitation works' implementation and supervision will be conducted by the Municipal Development Fund of Georgia (MDF). The purpose of this project is to provide river bank protection and to reduce flood risks through rehabilitation of structures that restrict river flow and cause flooding from the Dudhetiskhevi River as it passes through Dusheti town. The infrastructure improvements will save lives, protect residents living under the constant threat of flooding, contribute to economic growth of the municipality, and improve the social condition of the local population. The Contractor for Technical and Professional Services will be required to carry out field surveys and site investigations; prepare hydrologic/sediment/flood studies; prepare design studies and final designs; prepare O&M plans; prepare site specific environmental management plans; complete and submit detailed design drawings; prepare technical specifications & schedule of quantities (BOQs); and compile bid tender documents for the construction and rehabilitation of the following proposed engineering works, along with any other works that the contractor recommends as part of the final design in accordance with the purpose of this project.
