Procurement ID: CB No: MCA-M/CF/DWA/W-02

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

August 10, 2020

The United States of America, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (“MCC”) and the Government of Mongolia (the “Government”) have entered into a Millennium Challenge Compact for Millennium Challenge Account assistance in the amount of 350 million USD (“MCC Funding”) to help facilitate poverty reduction through economic growth in Mongolia (the “Compact”). The Government, acting through Millennium Challenge Account-Mongolia (the “MCA-Mongolia”), intends to apply a portion of the MCC Funding to eligible payments under a contract for which this Invitation for Pre-Qualification Document is issued. Any payments made by the MCA-Mongolia under the proposed contract will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the Compact and related documents, including restrictions on the use and distribution of MCC Funding. No party other than the Government and the MCA-Mongolia shall derive any rights from the Compact or have any claim to the proceeds of MCC Funding. The Compact and its related documents can be found on the MCC website (www.mcc.gov) and MCA-Mongolia website (https://mca-mongolia.gov.mn/).

The Compact will assist the Government in meeting the projected demand for water in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar for residential consumers and commercial and industrial users through a Water Supply Project, consisting of three closely related investment activities:

• A Downstream Wells Activity, to construct new groundwater wells with attendant transmission lines, reservoirs, and an advanced water purification plant (AWPP);

• A Wastewater Recycling Activity, to construct a new wastewater recycling plant and pipelines to provide high-quality treated wastewater that can be used instead of fresh water by water-intensive industries, thereby increasing the amount of fresh water available for household consumption; and

• A Water Sector Sustainability Activity, to support policy reforms, capacity building, and technical assistance to improve the long-term sustainability of Ulaanbaatar’s water supply.

This Invitation for Pre-Qualification follows the General Procurement Notice that was posted on MCA-Mongolia’s website (https://www.mca-mongolia.gov.mn/), dgMarket, UNDB Online, and Mongolian news portal site “Ikon.mn” on April 13, 2020 and published in Mongolian daily newspaper “Daily news” on April 13, 2020 and “Unuudur” on April 14, 2020.
