Hydrogeological Assessments for Development of up To 25 New Water Supply Boreholes in Turkana(INT0760)
Oxfam is an International Organisation working with others to overcome poverty and suffering.
Oxfam has been working in Kenya since 1963 working in long term development and humanitarian response in collaboration with others.
Oxfam is increasingly thriving to increase footprint, working through a consortium model.
As part of an effort to fast track the attainment of the MDG on sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation Oxfam and WRP partners have identified areas of acute water scarcity and where appropriate, plan to develop new boreholes to improve access for humans.
25 target areas have been identified for development of new boreholes.
These have been chosen on the basis of high concentrations of people and the risk of failure of existing water points:
Should drilling be successful the aim of the project is to provide an alternative reliable dry season water point and equip it with hand or solar pumps.
We are thus inviting competent consultants to undertake a hydro geological assessment for development of up to 25 new water supply boreholes in Turkana.
Assignment:
To establish the location of sub surface aquifers and to recommend suitable sites with the highest probability of success for drilling a borehole to abstract groundwater for human consumption at up to 25 locations.
Carry out Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed boreholes.
The purpose of the EIA is to ensure that proper planning is done and that likely potential negative impact that might arise from developing the project are predicted and mitigation and monitoring measures included in the project design in compliance with National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) requirements.
Location: Locations spread across Turkana County are currently being identified and prioritised.
Requirements

The consultant must be registered by the relevant Kenyan authorities (GSK and GRB)

The Consultant shall present a list of previous work done in Turkana county or similar hydro geological set up

Possess necessary resources to undertake works of such a magnitude including equipment, personnel vehicles etc (include list of equipment, CVs of personnel) Submit a detailed technical proposal including proposed methodologies, data analysis and interpretation, reports and work schedule.How to Apply
