I. Project Description
The project involves the design and construction of a 5 MLD bulk water supply system for the
Abuyog Water District, consisting of the following components:

Component “A’: Water treatment plant (WTP) with a capacity of 5 million liters/day ( 5MLD),
inclusive of all its accessories, a diversion weir, intake structure, supply of raw water and dosing
pumps, piping, laboratory and admin building, power house, chlorination pumps and treated
water pumps, steel tank as reservoir with a total capacity of 500 cubic meters (cu.m.), supply of
standby generator rated at 250 KVA, guard house, site development, perimeter fencing with
gate and other items in Brgy. Balinsasayao, Abuyog, Leyte.

Component “B”; Transmission facilities capable of transmitting 5 MLD of treated water from a
500 cu.m. ground tank located in Bgy. Balinsasayao down to a defined service area of the
Abuyog Water District via a series of pumps, transmission and distribution lines and ancillaries,
and passing through the existing ground tank in Abuyog, Leyte. As agreed upon during the 2 nd
