[INVITATION FOR CALL FOR PROPOSAL & PREBID MEETING] : RFP-REQ-WJD-20-0033 : "Initial Assessment on Harmonization Cross-Boundary FSM Services for Jakarta and Its Satelite Cities & Districts"

Dear IUWASH PLUS valuable partners, 

DAI, implementer of the USAID funded Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene  Penyehatan Lingkungan Untuk Semua (IUWASH PLUS) Project, invites qualified partners to submit proposals/bids and attend to the prebid meeting for RFP-REQ-WJD-20-0033 : "Initial Assessment on Harmonization Cross-Boundary FSM Services for Jakarta and Its Satellite Cities & Districts"

Background

The USAID Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Penyehatan Lingkungan Untuk Semua (IUWASH PLUS) program is a five-and-a-half-year initiative designed to assist the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in increasing access to water supply and sanitation services as well as improving key hygiene behaviors among urban poor and vulnerable populations. USAID IUWASH PLUS works with governmental agencies, the private sector, NGOs, communities and others to achieve the following "high level" results:

1. An increase of 1,100,000 people in urban areas with access to improved water supply service quality, of which at least 500,000 are from the poorest 40% of the population (also referred to as the “Bottom 40%” or “B40”), vulnerable groups or Indonesia’s eastern provinces; and 

2. An increase of 500,000 people in urban areas with access to safely managed sanitation.
To ensure that improvements in access to WASH services are sustained, USAID IUWASH PLUS is guided by a development hypothesis that focuses on strengthening service delivery systems, so they can more effectively reach the poorest and most vulnerable segments of the population. In order to achieve this at scale, the program undertakes activities through four interrelated components, including: 1) improving household WASH services; 2) strengthening city WASH institutional performance; 3) strengthening the WASH financing environment; and 4) advancing national WASH advocacy, coordination and communication. In support of these components, USAID IUWASH PLUS also implements a Local Sustainability and Innovation Component (LSIC) that is designed to stimulate WASH innovations that strengthen community, private sector and government WASH service provision.

Activity Summary

DKI Jakarta has 8 satellite cities and districts surround it (Bekasi City, Bekasi District, Bogor District, Bogor City, Depok City, Tangerang District, Tangerang City and South Tangerang District), with one exception, each of the cities and districts has a domestic waste water treatment plant – IPLT.  DKI Jakarta has two IPLTs managed by PD PAL and the satellite cities and district has one IPLT each operated by their own UPTD except for South Tangerang District, which has none.  The desludging from individual household owned septic tanks is conducted by a combination of public and privately owned trucks at various rates, depending on each location and (often) the distance to the IPLT. Other than that there are some additional reasons problems for poor desludging services identified in these locations such as: most IPLT have limited capacity, long distances from potential customers,  location to their “own” IPLT and its correlation with time of travel the distance, etc.  This mismanagement in desludging has an adverse impact to the environment where surface and ground water will be contaminated resulting in water borne diseases to community, and stunting to children below five. As the majority of sludge collected from individual households is conducted by privately owned trucks, the above problems have substantial impact on the Safely Managed Sanitation Services (SMSS) in each USAID IUWASH PLUS supported locations in WJDT (West Java, DKI Jakarta and Tangerang District)
To support local government in IUWASH PLUS target cities in/around Jakarta to improve SMSS with the ultimate goal to reach agreement amongst relevant LG. As defined, to implement this program, IUWASH PLUS requires a Service Provider to develop an initial assessment on harmonization cross-boundary FSM Services.

Objectives

The objective of this activity is to support USAID IUWASH PLUS assisted local governments in and around DKI Jakarta (West Java, DKI Jakarta and Tangerang supported Cities) to improve Safely Managed Sanitation Services (SMSS) through harmonization of cross-boundary fecal sludge management services.

To support  as the above subject, IUWASH PLUS Project is looking for potential partners with requirements as attached in the link on our website as follows :
