Preparatory Survey for the Eastern Bridge Replacement Plan in the Kingdom of Bhutan (QCBS)

This JICA tender is for a preparatory survey concerning a plan to replace bridges in the eastern region of Bhutan. The project aims to assess the condition of existing bridges, identify specific needs for replacement, and conduct feasibility studies for new bridge construction or rehabilitation. This will involve technical evaluations, structural assessments, and potentially environmental and social impact studies. The survey will also consider the socio-economic benefits and logistical challenges associated with the bridge replacements, ensuring that the proposed solutions are appropriate for Bhutan's context. The objective is to gather the necessary information and technical data to support the planning and design phases of the bridge replacement project, ultimately aiming to improve transportation infrastructure, enhance connectivity, and facilitate economic activities in eastern Bhutan. Consultant selection will follow the Quality- and Cost-Based Selection (QCBS) method. A response to inquiries has been posted.
