Grant No: TF0C4647, TF0C4643

The Republic of Armenia has received financing from the World Bank (the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“IBRD”), acting as an Implementing Agency of the Global Environment Facility (“GEF”) and as administrator of the Multi-Donor Trust Fund for Supporting Armenia Resilient Landscapes Project and International Development Association (“IDA”), acting as administrator of the Multi-Donor Trust Fund for Supporting Armenia Resilient Landscapes Project) toward the cost of the RESILAND: Armenia Resilient Landscape Project, and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.

The main objective of the assignment is to conduct feasibility study, prepare design documents and develop tender/bidding packages for restoration of abandoned mine lands at the Tandzut former mine site (Lori Region) and the Kapan former mine sites (Syunik Region). The latter includes: (i) the Kavart former mine site, where about 61 ha are impacted by open pits and waste ore disposal, as well as (ii) the Northern Kapan waste disposal site ("Northern Kapan site" or "Project site" or "Site" former mine site, where over an area of ca. 50 ha a total of 8-10 ha are covered with several small waste deposits. In addition to the design and tender documentation, the Consultant shall also ensure author’s (follow-on) supervision during the restoration works, to confirm that the works are implemented in accordance with the approved design, provide clarifications as needed, and support quality assurance from a design perspective. The end goal is to restore and reestablish natural and agro-ecological land cover, stabilize terrain, prevent soil erosion and ensure safety as well as sustainability of the site. The intended overarching outcome is to reduce environmental risks and impacts as well as hazards to public health and safety to acceptable levels complying with good international industry practice. Wherever possible, productive repurposing options and scenarios should be identified to foster sustainable long-term use, care and maintenance of the sites. The Consultant should consider that the sites will need differentiated approaches leading to different types of outputs.

The duration of the assignment/contract is 15 months, calculated from the date of contract signing. For Author’s (follow-on) supervision the assignment/contract will start with the restoration works and will be carried out till the end of the restoration works.
