CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR THE PREPARATION, PROCUREMENT AND

MANAGEMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE BULK SERVICES IMPLEMENTATION
PLAN FOR AIRPORT CITY AT KENNETH KAUNDA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

1.1 Introduction
The Zambia Airports Corporation Limited (ZACL) was established in 1989 through the
repealed Aviation Act, Chapter 444 of the Laws of Zambia now replaced by Act No.5
of 2016 of the Laws of Zambia and incorporated under the Companies Act No. 10 of
2017 of Zambia with the mandate to develop, maintain and manage the four designated
international airports namely, Kenneth Kaunda, Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe, Harry
Mwaanga Nkumbula and Mfuwe International Airports including seven (7) Provincial
Aerodromes and three (3) strategic aerodromes, and to provide air navigation services
throughout the Zambian Airspace.

1.2 Background
One of the key strategic objectives of ZACL is to grow non-aeronautical revenue base.
In this regard, ZACL engaged Consultants to develop a land use plan for an Airport City
totalling 2,700ha with the first phase being 550 ha and the rest to be developed under
the second phase of land use of the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (KKIA) into
an Airport City.

Several development clusters have been proposed ranging from housing and leisure
resort, hospitality and entertainment, light manufacturing/warehousing, sports activities
(golf course/racecourse), Conferencing (MICE), Retail, Education and R&D to Agro-
business and solar projects. The land will need preparation, marketing, and servicing to
be fully utilized. For the operationalization of this programme, an in-house
Implementation Unit has been set up under the Commercial Directorate.

To actualize the Land use plan, ZACL is set out to develop the area by providing bulky
services such as Access roads, Water and Sewerage to spar the crafted proposed
infrastructure development aimed at servicing the proposed development cluster.

1.3 Objective of The Service

The objective of the Consultancy Service is to formulate a technically, economically
feasible and socially/environmentally sustainable design plan for implementation of
bulky services providing sufficient details for its implementation, including layout plan
of the utilities and road networks with details, Bill of Quantities, as well as preliminary
design of other necessary infrastructure for necessary actualization of the ZACL Airport
City Concept. This shall include tendering and project management as per
implementation plan.

19 | P a g e
 Section 3 – standard

Expected outputs from the Consultancy would include:

i.Survey and beaconing the land according to land-use plan and update maps with their
respective buffer zones in WGS-84 systems giving results in both linear and angular
observations;
ii.Develop an inception preliminary feasibility report highlighting what topography,
waterways, drainage, and other natural features of the site which need to be preserved;
iii.Design civil infrastructure based on the water supply and waste treatment,
electricity/solar, communication, projected development, the overall development
strategy, and their phasing in line with (ii) above;
iv.Zone where the major infrastructure would be located, and how the networks of
collection and distribution might be routed, according to road layouts and topography.
v.The consultant to share a proposal with ZACL on the probable economic way of
phasing of development, by providing planning assumptions needed to drive the
planned land mix and use (i.e. residential, industrial, commercial, etc.); and,
vi.Procure and manage the construction and implementation of the proposed design for
bulky services as per ZACL implementation plan.

1.4 Target Areas

Target land area has since submitted all the deliverables pertaining to the project
particularly on the Highest and Best Use (HBU) study of the land on the mixed-use
basis for the best combination of different type of business activities that could be
placed on the reserved land in maximising revenue generation. The land measures a
total area of about 550 hectares.

submitted to ZACL prior to implementation in order to build consensus of the
future image of the project among stakeholders.

1.7 Demand Forecast

Following the tone of the survey report and plans, demand forecast of population
allocation, land use, traffic volume, infrastructure, and social service should be
conducted to set projection of business and service demand. This will help in
phasing of the development program according to the demand forecast in line
appendix A, and the basic layout plans should be refined as per demand.

1.8 Preliminary Design of Infrastructure

Land grading plan should be made first considering the existing topo data and flood
elevation. Based on the grading and use plans, layout plans for each of the key
utilities (roads and drainage, water supply, sewer, drainage, power supply,
