LEAD #7: TENDER FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IN ASHGABAT - TURMENISTAN
SUBJECT: IMI: TURKMENISTAN: TENDER ON ARCHITECTURAL
DESIGN OF A NEW DISTRICT IN ASHGABAT

SUMMARY
-------
2. THE GOTX HAS AMBITIOUS PLANS TO DEVELOP THE TURKMEN
CAPITAL INTO ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE CITIES IN
CENTRAL ASIA. TO FURTHER THIS END, THE ASHGABAT MAYOR'S
OFFICE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED AN INTERNATIONAL TENDER ON
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF A NEW BUSINESS AND CULTURAL
CENTER. SEE CONTACT INFORMATION IN PARAGRAPH 6. END
SUMMARY.
3. ASHGABAT, THE CAPITAL OF TURKMENISTAN (A FORMER
SOVIET CENTRAL ASIAN REPUBLIC), OCCUPIES A TOTAL
TERRITORY OF 26,000 HECTARES AND HAS A TOTAL POPULATION
OF 530,000. ASHGABAT IS SITUATED IN THE CENTER OF THE
KOPETDAG FOOTHILL VALLEY IN THE VICINITY OF THE KARAKUM
DESERT. ONE OF THE GEOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF THE CITY
IS HIGH SEISMIC ACTIVITY. THE CITY WAS COMPLETELY
DESTROYED BY AN EARTHQUAKE IN 1948, AND REBUILT WITH
POOR INFRASTRUCTURE IN TYPICALLY SOVIET STYLE. DURING
THE SEVEN YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE, ASHGABAT'S LOOK HAS
IMPROVED REMARKABLY THROUGH SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS BY
THE GOVERNMENT IN THE CAPITAL'S DEVELOPMENT.

4. THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF ASHGABAT (HAKIMLIK) HAS
ANNOUNCED AN INTERNATIONAL TENDER FOR DEVELOPING THE
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF A NEW BUSINESS AND CULTURAL
CENTER FOR THE CAPITAL AT THE EDGE OF THE CITY IN A
REGION KNOWN AS BERZENGI. BERZENGI IS LOCATED SOUTH OF
THE CITY CENTER AT THE FOOTHILLS OF THE KOPETDAG
MOUNTAINS. A RANGE OF NEW HOTELS AND BUSINESS CENTERS,
DIPLOMATIC RESIDENCES AND THE NATIONAL MUSEUM HAVE BEEN
BUILT THERE RECENTLY AND NEW GOVERNMENT MINISTRIES'
BUILDINGS AND ESTABLISHMENTS ARE NOW PLANNED. THIS NEW
DOWNTOWN OF ASHGABAT WILL COVER A TERRITORY FROM THE
NOVOFIRUZINSKOE SHOSSE TO THE GINDUVAR LOCALITY AND
WILL BE CONNECTED WITH THE OLD CENTER VIA TWO MAIN
ROADS: TURKMENBASHI STREET AND SAHI JAPBAROV STREET.

5. THE ARCHITECTURAL PLAN MUST MEET INTERNATIONAL
STANDARDS ON TOWN-PLANNING AS WELL AS REFLECT TURKMEN
NATIONAL FEATURES AND TRADITIONS. THE CLIMATIC,
ECOLOGICAL, SEISMIC AND LANDSCAPE CONDITIONS MUST BE
TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION ALONG WITH THE USE OF MODERN
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENGINEERING NETWORKS. A PARK ZONE
MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN. A WINNER OF THE TENDER
WILL BE AWARDED A PREMIUM OF USD 10,000. (NOTE: THERE
IS SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION BY TURKISH FIRMS IN
TURKMENISTAN. END NOTE.)

6. THE TENDER WILL BE ORGANIZED IN SEVERAL STAGES AND
WILL BE HELD FROM AUGUST 10, 1998, THROUGH DECEMBER 29,
1998. INTERESTED COMPANIES SHOULD SUBMIT THEIR
APPLICATIONS TO THE HAKIMLIK AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS:
MR. DURDYMAMED YAKUBOV, CHIEF ARCHITECT (SPEAKS
RUSSIAN AND TURKMEN)
