Commissioner of Fisheries
 Expression of Interest
Concrete & Hybrid Poly – Ethylene Floating Jetties with Allied Civil
Work

Preamble

1. The Fishing Harbours (FHs) and Fish Landing Centres (FLCs) are the
initialcentres of fish handling. Department of Fisheries, Govt of Gujarat
(DoF/GoG) intends to enhance the berthing facilities at two of its FLCs along
with associated infrastructure,i.e at Chorwad and Umarsadi on progressive
basis by undertaking installation of Concrete & Hybrid HDPoly-Ethylene
Floating Jetties on pilot project basis. This Expression of Interest (EOI) is for
selection of perspective entities only and is not commercially binding on
DoF/GoG in anyways.

About theSite

2. Chorwad is a big village in Taluka MariyaHathina, district Junagadh, Gujarat

with a total fishermen population of 2318 (as per 18thSensex 2007) and 626
active fishermen in the area. Number of registered fishing vessels operating
from Chorwad are 487 and approx. registered 386 FRP boats and 30 trawlers
are operates from this Bandar. It is expected that the Chorwad FLC (Latitude
20°59'59.50"N and Longitude 70°13'46.28"E) shall handle 488 Mechanized
and 71 Non Mechanized vessels in the year 2035.

Purpose &Scope

4. Due to ever increasing trade and sea-borne traffic,new Fisheries Harbours

and Ports are required to be developed and expended the existing Port(s)
with deeper and wider approaching channel and enhancement of their
berthing capacities.

5. If a port is to be developed in the zone of high littoraldrift,it is of vital

importance to predict its effect on the adjacent shoreline and suggest
remedial measures to minimize the adverse effects due to construction of the
Port. There are various environmental forces like Tides,Currents,Wave sand
Sediment Transports and Pollutant Transport associated with the coastal
processes.DoF/GoG thus has been entrusted by the authorities to undertake
the feasibility and installation of Concrete & Hybrid HDPoly-Ethylene Floating
Jetties(ies) to ease out the berthin g issues at both Chorwad & Umarsadi FLCs with
assistance of their primary consultant WAPCOS Ltd with NO environmental effects.
6. The broad scope includes the following:-

(a) Identification of PROS & CONS of the proposed site.

(b) Undertaking the feasibility studies,if any.
(c) Identification of suitable site/location/orientation for installation of
Concrete & Hybrid Poly-Ethylene Floating Jetties Floating Jetty(ies).
(d) Interacting with the Department, primary consultant, other stake holderst
of inalize the requirements wrt berthing needs and optimum utilization of
the other existing/ upcoming facilities.
(e) Undertaking the functional planning.
(f) Identifying the actual required facility to be provided so as to ease out
the berthing issues being encountered at both the FLCs.
(g) Collecting primary and secondary survey data, including Bathymetric
&Geotechnical investigations at the proposed FLC site,for designing
purpose post award of work.
(h) Submission of detailed design & drawings of the Concrete& Hybrid Poly-
Ethylene Floating Jetty dully vetted by a 3rdparty alongwith cost
estimates and vetted drawings post award of work and prior to
installation.
(i) Allied Civil Work would include the following:-

(i) For Umarsadi

 Approach Road (approx.1.2Km) with turning provisions at the end
