The Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved on 26 June 2019 two loans in the amount of
$297.75 million for the Emergency Assistance for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (EARR)
supporting the government in rebuilding infrastructure damaged by the September 2018
disaster in Central Sulawesi. EARR has two separate components of which the following
component is relevant for the subject consulting services.
EARR applies a sector lending approach in selecting subprojects under each of the outputs.
The subprojects need to comply with the selection criteria agreed between the government
and ADB. The EARR is to be completed by March 2023.
The Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MPWH) is the Executing Agency for EARR’s
public works infrastructure component. To implement this component, the MPWH has
(i) established a Central Project Management Unit (PMU) in Jakarta under the
Directorate General of Water Resources (DGWR), and
(ii) assigned the Balai Wilayah Sungai Sulawesi III (BWS III) and the Central
Sulawesi Settlement Infrastructure Agency in Palu City as Project
Implementation Units (PIUs). The former PIU is responsible for output 2 and
the latter for the other output1 activities.

Consultants (PMSCs).2
The subject PMSC will support the BWS III in the reconstruction, rehabilitation and/or
upgrading of the following subprojects: (i) the Gumbasa irrigation system; (ii) the PASIGALA
raw water supply system; and (iii) coastal protection to prevent coastal erosion and tidal
flooding.

km of canals including 26.5 km of the main canal and 48.5 km of secondary canals serving
8,000 ha. The PAGISALA subproject includes the rehabilitation of the 42 km long raw water
supply pipeline. The coastal protection subproject includes the construction of protection
embankment for a total length of 7.2 km.
Detailed engineering designs (DEDs) and bidding documents as well as environmental and
social safeguards documents for the above subprojects are being prepared while the
procurement of one civil works contract related to subproject (iii) is in progress. 3
The civil works under the subprojects will be executed in accordance with the FIDIC June
2010 MDB Harmonized Construction Contract.

The PMSC (the Consultant) will support the BWS III in the timely and efficient
implementation of the 3 subprojects mentioned above in accordance with Government laws
and regulations as well as provisions in the EARR loan agreement and ADB guidelines and
procedures.4
