Tender Advertisement #1367544

SPC and MLPID require provision of wind pump parts and technical assistance in Kiritimati Island, Kiribati.
All pump parts will be required to contribute to improved wind pump performance on Kiritimati Island in terms of flow rate, reliability and longevity. Kiritimati has an excellent wind resource with consistent Easterly trade winds throughout the year (especially during La Nina-induced dry periods), and pumps should be capable of pumping on average ≥15kL/d during these periods.
- All Yellowtail and Southern Cross parts should be genuine.
- All other items must be of high quality to cater for long-term and regular use in Kiritimati’s warm,
salty and highly corrosive environment.
- AS/NZS certification applies to all applicable items.
An experienced wind pump technical advisor will be expected to travel to Kiritimati for two weeks to assist
SPC and MLPID with the wind pump installation, rehabilitation and O&M training activities. The TA will work
closely with WSD staff responsible for wind pump maintenance and perform practical on-the-job training
with them and prepare a contextually appropriate Wind Pump Asset Management and Maintenance Plan
with them (SPC will assist with convening and facilitating these engagements).
