REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

Republic of Türkiye

Governorship of Istanbul

Istanbul Project Coordination Unit (IPCU)

Istanbul Resilience Project

1. The Republic of Türkiye has applied for financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Istanbul Resilience Project and intends to apply part of the proceeds for Consultancy Services for Reconstruction Supervision of Public Buildings 1st Group (WB-C2A.2).

2. The consulting services (“the Services”) include construction and reconstruction supervision, including defects liability services.

The assignment covers supervision of civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, structural, geotechnical, environmental, social, occupational health and safety and sustainability aspects of construction/reconstruction works to ensure compliance with contract documents, applicable regulations and the project’s environmental and social safeguard instruments.

The Services will include:

• Supervision and contract management for construction/reconstruction and enhancement works of up to 25 selected public buildings/campuses (Scope A), 50 existing critical public buildings (Scope B) and up to 350 emergency health (paramedic) stations (Scope C) within Istanbul Province;
• Verification of designs (design review), materials, workmanship and testing and preparation of progress and compliance reports;
• Environmental, social, health and safety (ESHS) monitoring and reporting in accordance with World Bank standards; and
• Supervision during the Defects Liability Period (DLP) to ensure that defects are properly rectified and that the works meet final acceptance requirements.

The estimated total level of professional effort is approximately 1,234 staff-months, including 720 staff-months for key experts and 514 staff-months for technicians/junior engineers, distributed across supervision and defects liability phases.

The overall implementation period is 36 months (excluding the Defects Liability Period) from the date of contract signing.

The expected start date of the assignment is the first quarter of 2026, following completion of the tender evaluation for construction contracts.

4. The Istanbul Project Coordination Unit (IPCU) now invites eligible consulting firms (“Consultants”) to indicate their interest in providing the Services. Interested Consultants should provide information (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff, etc.) demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services.

5. A consulting firm is allowed to submit the expression of interest alone if it considers itself to be fully qualified on its own for the assignment, as it is not mandatory for consultants to associate with any other firm(s), whether foreign or local. Alternatively, if consultants themselves choose to associate to enhance their qualifications and capability for the assignment, then such associations may either be as a Joint Venture (i.e. all members of the joint venture shall be jointly and severally responsible) and/or Sub-consultants (i.e. the Consultant will be responsible, including for the services of the sub-consultant). In case of an association, the Consultants must explain in the EOI submission (a) the rationale for forming the association and (b) the anticipated role and relevant qualifications of each member of the Joint Venture and/or of each sub-consultant for carrying out the assignment, to justify the proposed inclusion of the JV members and/or sub-consultants in the association. Failure to provide the above explanation in the Expression of Interest may risk the association not being shortlisted for the assignment. Please note that in the evaluation of EOIs of associations for shortlisting purposes, only the qualifications of the JV members will be taken into account whereas the qualifications of proposed sub-consultants will not be considered.
