Electricity Market Support Project
MANAGEMENT SERVICES
The Government of Georgia intends to apply for a credit from
International Development Association (IDA) and to use part of the proceeds of this credit for payments under contracts to manage Georgia’s power transmission and dispatch companies and the Georgian Wholesale Electricity Market. The services would be
co-financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (EBRD), and Kreditanstalt fuer Wiederaufbau (KfW).
The services include two five-year management contracts to manage: Georgia’s electric transmission and dispatch companies
(JSC Electrogadatsema and JSC Sakenergo); and the Georgian
Wholesale Electricity Market.
The management contract fees are expected to be a combination of
a fixed fee and performance-based incentive payments.
Qualified bidders shall have at least 15 years experience in
operating high-voltage power transmission, dispatch and settlements systems for a large electric utility, which (i) serves a mixture of residential, industrial, and commercial customers with combined annual peak demand of at least 6000 MW; (ii) operates a high voltage transmission network--with highest voltage in the network exceeding 330 kV -- through a modern computer-based dispatch system; and (iii) has a proven track record of achieving at least an 80% rate of cash collections for electricity consumed by its customers.
Qualified bidders shall have no financial interest, direct or
indirect, in any other company currently operating or intending
to enter the Georgian electric or natural gas sector.
The Ministry of Fuel and Energy now invites eligible bidders to
indicate their interest in providing management services.
Prospective bidders may express their interest in either or both
management contracts indicated above. However, no company will
be selected for both contracts. Prospective bidders must provide
information indicating that they are qualified to perform the
services they are interested in (brochures, description of
similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff, etc.). Prospective bidders are encouraged, but not required, to submit non-binding, pro-forma draft contracts or concept descriptions. Prospective bidders may associate to enhance their qualifications.
The winning bidders will be selected in accordance with the
procedures set out in the World Bank’s Guidelines: Selection and
Employment of Consultants by World Bank Borrowers, January 1997
(revised September 1997).
Interested bidders may obtain a copy of the Ministry’s draft
contracts and further information at the address below from
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Expressions of interest must be delivered to the address below
by January 21, 2000.
