IFC seeks to contract a specialized consulting firm or a consortium of firms (the “Consultant”) to conduct the Detailed Feasibility Study of the Waste Treatment Project in Medellin. The Detailed Feasibility Study to be conducted under this contract is the last phase of the analysis stage before the implementation of the Client’s Waste Treatment Project. The study will build on the Pre-feasibility Study previously completed and will also be informed by the Transaction Structure Analysis[1] <https://worldbankgroup-my.sharepoint.com/personal/igutierrez_ifc_org/Documents/1.%20CITIES%20AND%20EDGE/2.%20Cities%20Program%20LAC/3.%20Colombia/1.%20EPM%20SWM/Fase%202/Consultants/STUDY2%20-%20Full%20Feasibility%20Study%20+%20other%20studies/TORS%20Detailed%20Feasibility%20Study%20SWM%20Medellin%20FINAL%20for%20RFX.docx#_ftn1> currently underway.This Consultancy has the following objectives:1. Confirm the understanding of the estimated quantities, composition, and physical and chemical characteristics of the solid waste expected to be delivered to the treatment facility/ies, carried out across two seasons to account for climate seasonality. 2. Detailed evaluation and comparison of the two scenarios shortlisted in the Pre-feasibility Study with respect to their technical, legal, regulatory, economic, environmental, social, and financial viability. This includes an update of the financial assessment, providing the Client with a comprehensive comparison between scenarios 1 and 2, for informed decision-making regarding which scenario to move forward with. 3. Reach the next level of detail in all areas analyzed in the pre-feasibility of the selected scenario determined in objective 2 above, allowing the Project to move to the procurement structuring and implementation phase.
