1 Introduction
The Request for Quotation (RFQ) seeks to solicit proposals (quotes) for the design of a chemical
storage building and roof structure at the Sendou Power Station. The Client referred to in this RFQ is
Compagnie d’Electricité du Sénégal (CES).

1.1 Project Details

The 125 MW coal fired power station is located near the village of Bargny Minam, 32 km from the city
of Dakar in Senegal. The site is located approximately 700 m from the Atlantic Ocean. The power plant
consists of one coal fired boiler, one steam turbine and the associated balance of plant systems and
equipment. The plant utilises sea water as cooling media for the power cycle (cooling towers with sea
water make-up). Denim water is produced from municipal water in a water treatment plant (UF, RO and
mixed bed).

1.2 Current Status of the Plant

Although the plant completed its contractual and reliability tests in October 2018, it has not been
operating continuously at contractual limits.

Some of the essential balance of plant systems were not fully installed and commissioned. The Client
is in the process of making the necessary modifications to improve the operability and availability of the
power plant.

1.3 Chemical Storage Area

There is currently no permanent chemical storage area on site. The chemicals are being stored in
containers (drums and bags) in various temporary locations on the site.

2 Scope of Works
The following two (2) chemical storage areas are required:

1. Sodium Hypochlorite for Sea Water Dosing

More than 200 litres of sodium hypochlorite is currently being used per day to dose the sea water
at the cooling tower. Due to the high consumption, the Client is considering installing an
electrochlorination unit in future to produce sodium hypochlorite on site. Taking into consideration
that this possible future development would render the storage area obsolete; the Client has opted
for a low cost, simple roof structure for the sodium hypochlorite storage area.

2. All Other Chemicals

A chemical storage building is required for all other chemicals.

The floorplans of the chemical storage building and roof structure are provided in Appendix 1. The
locations of the chemical storage areas are provided in Appendix 2.

The Consultant shall provide all architectural, structural, civil, electrical and piping drawings and bills of
materials required by the Client or its sub-contractor to procure the material and construct the chemical
storage areas. A schedule of finishes, fixtures and fittings shall also be provided. The following
information shall be included on drawings:
● Details of the segregation of chemicals (details of bund walls);
● Details of the access ways for areas requiring forklift or similar access;
● Any special floor coating;
● Drainage channels or containment sumps for accidental spillage; and
● Any services required (such as electricity and water piping for safety showers).

The Consultant shall ensure that the aesthetics of the chemical storage structures and/or buildings are
similar to the buildings on site with reference to the photos attached to this RFQ, as well as the drawings
listed in Table 1 below

3 Contract Price
The Consultant shall provide a fixed price proposal to perform the detailed design of the chemical
storage building and roof structure. The Consultant shall make an allowance to address construction
and procurement queries received from the Client’s subcontractors in Senegal.

The lowest proposal in terms of cost will not necessarily be accepted, however innovative and cost
effective solutions will be highly valued given the challenges being faced on site.

4 Quality Management
The Consultant shall submit the design drawings to the Client for review. The Client shall have five (5)
working days to review the design and provide comments to the Consultant. The Consultant will update
and reissue the drawings incorporating the Client’s comments. The Consultant shall include the design
review process in its schedule to be submitted with its proposal.

5 Contract Schedule
The Consultant shall provide with its proposal a high level schedule detailing the tasks and associated
durations to complete the design.

Upon successful award of the contract, the Consultant will be required to submit a detailed Contract
Schedule for review and approval by the Client before any works can commence.

6 Specifications and Codes

All works shall conform to the relevant codes, laws, regulations, and best practices of the Republic of
Senegal.

7 Terms and Conditions

The Consultant shall review the Client’s Terms and Conditions provided with the RFQ (CES-GEN-CON-
FDC-W-0001-01 – FIDIC White Book) and submit a schedule of qualifications to the Client’s Terms and
Conditions. If no qualifications are received, it shall be deemed that the Client’s Terms and Conditions
have been accepted by the Consultant.

8 Binding Effect
In the event of a proposal being successful, there shall be no Contract of any force or effect prior to
signature of the Contract by both the Client and the successful Consultant.

Consultants are advised that other proposals are being obtained for the Works to be undertaken in
terms of this RFQ and the Client is in no way obligated to accept any of the proposals received. At the
Client’s discretion, this RFQ may be cancelled at any time and/or a new RFQ issued. The lowest
