Design-and-Build Scheme for the Construction of Community Evacuation Center in Tacloban City

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)  invites  Contractors to apply for eligibility and to bid for the “Construction of  Community Evaluation Center for Tacloban City Design-and-Build Scheme”, an activity under the UNDP Project entitled “Recovery and Resilience in Selected Typhoon Yolanda-Affected Communities in the Visayas” .  

The project aims to improve the sustainable recovery of selected communities in the Visayas Region VIII devastated by Typhoon Yolanda, while strengthening their resilience and preparedness for future calamities and natural disasters. 

The Tacloban Community Evacuation Center (TEC) to be constructed shall consist of a single storey structure with provision for expansion for a second storey to be completed at a later date by Tacloban City Municipality. The location of the building is at Kanhuraw Hill adjacent to the current Tacloban Municipal Hall and will serve as an evacuation center and primary control room during periods of emergencies, with the secondary building use for training and mini conventions during times of non-emergencies. The anticipated basic type of building construction will consist of;

• Standard Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) construction methods
• Structural capacity for the future expansion of the building for the second floor
• Adequate floor height and provision for the addition of HVAC systems at a later date
• The location of the building is on bedrock per the Mines and Geoscience Bureau (MGB) certificate with minimal excavation required for construction
• Solar power provision for building along with emergency power supply provision and rain water harvesting

Further bid evaluation details are included in the invitation to bid package along with architectural drawings, floor plans, design basis requirements (structural, wind and earthquake requirements) and the anticipated Bill of Quantity workup. Project drawing deliverables and project scheduling will be assessed jointly by UNDP, Tacloban LGU and Building Contractor representatives in order to streamline works under the Design and Construction method of project delivery during project construction.
