1.0 GENERAL
1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Request for Proposal (RFP) provides parameters for a design-build project for
renovation of a facility in Aouinatt, Mauritania; Latitude 16°09'17.4"N, Longitude
9°56'44.1"W (Refer to the attached Location Map.)
The existing Health Clinic was original executed as a Humanitarian Assistance (HA)
project by the US Department of Navy’s Naval Facilities Engineering Systems
Command (NAVFAC). The previous contractor began construction of the health clinic
around late 2016 and completed about 85% of the construction work, before the
contract was terminated for unknown reasons. The Contractor had completed
construction of majority of primary (health clinic) and secondary (waiting area,
latrines, perimeter wall, etc.) facilities required per the contract, The specific
details of the contract termination is not known. Since then, the Health Clinic
had been locked and was never used. The intent of this project is to complete the
unfinished construction work of the NAVFAC’s project and turn-over finished and
operational Health Clinic facility to the local community.
The project includes the following general items of work, detailed requirements
are contained elsewhere in this Statement of Work:
a. Completion of remaining construction work; mainly finishes, furnishings,
patch/ paint, and replacement of interior and exterior doors.
b. Replace the existing roof gutter system.
c. Provide photo-voltaic (PV) power system for on-site electricity generation
to meet the facility demand. Electrical furnishing work.
d. Re-screed the damaged walkway and re-screed the clinic roofing to provide
better drainage.
a. Connect the existing facility to the existing water-well.
e. Clear and grub vegetation in the compound.
f. Provide a 20 Liter portable hot-water boiler.
g. Provide (3) Wall-mounted split units to provide air conditioning in the
pre-delivery, delivery room and pharmacy (one unit each).
h. Provide a 4.4-cubic feet Refrigerator
