Description

Panama, through the Ministry of Public Works (MOP), has financing from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for the "Comprehensive Project for Electromobility and Increasing the Resilience of Public Transport Infrastructure in Panama City". This call invites eligible consulting firms to submit their expressions of interest to provide comprehensive support in the management, supervision and control of the program.

Scope of the consultancy
The specialized service is divided into two main institutional objectives:

Supervision of works (Component 2): Technical, financial, socio-environmental and administrative control of the design and construction of storm drainage systems and resilient urbanism in the 5 de Mayo Paid Zone and Ricardo J. Alfaro Avenue (Tumba Muerto). It includes the regulatory review of designs, processing of permits, construction inspection (quality, deadlines and costs), social mitigation plans with communities and validation of future maintenance manuals.

Institutional technical assistance: Direct support to the MOP in financial and administrative management to ensure compliance with the obligations of the loan agreements before the IDB and the GCF. It includes the monitoring of schedules and goals, systematization of information through dashboards, preparation of executive reports for missions or audits, and the optimization of internal execution and procurement procedures.

In the case of consortia or associations (APCA), these data will be detailed for each member, formally identifying the lead firm (whose country will determine the nationality of the proposal). It is not required to attach supporting legal documentation at this stage.
