Request For Proposal Optimizing the Waste Water Treatment Plant and Sewerage System in Soreang - Bandung District

The Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and Hygiene (IUWASH) project is a five-year program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). IUWASH works within the partnership framework of the United States of America and Indonesian government to improve the quality of environment through better access to safe water supply and sanitation. In addition, IUWASH also supports the Indonesian government to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) target for both services (drinking water and sanitation) particularly for the Low Income People (MBR) living in urban areas in Indonesia. To achieve the goal, IUWASH is working with various communities, local governments, civil society organizations, and service providers. IUWASH commitment is focused on the following achievement targets:

·         2,000,000 urban people will obtain access to safe drinking water;
·         250,000 urban people will obtain access to proper sanitation service;
·         20% Decrease of cost per unit for drinking water currently spent by MBR families
·         75,000 people participating in various forms of sanitation and water-related trainings

To achieve the above objectives, the technical assistance program by IUWASH is divided into three main components: (1) increase the public demand (public awareness to create need for appropriate drinking water and good sanitation), (2) increase the capacity of services (from PDAM and related service units), (3) strengthen the enabling environment (policy, governance, political commitment and funding alternatives).

1.      Background
Kecamatan Soreang, West Java, consists of 10 sub-districts, covering an area of 25.5 km square, and has a present population of about 109.000 people. The current Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) of Soreang is located in Pamekaran which has a size of 203,928 hectares and a current population of around 12.100 people. The WWTP Soreang was built in 1992 and services parts of the Ciwidey river basin area. Based on the planning documents prepared by PT Elmesat, the extension of IPAL Soreang was finalized in 2011. The WWTP is designed to treat waste water from 1.000 households connected with a maximum debit of 13 lt/sec. 

The length of the existing sewage system is approximately 3.700 meters consisting of PVC pipes with diameter of 150 mm and a length of 2.043 meters and of diameter of 200 mm with a length of 1.629 meters. The Waste Water Treatment Plant unit consists of:
  • Open inlet channel equipped with a bar screen, grease operator, and Parshall flume
  • Modified septic tank and Imhoff tanks equipped with effluent filter media
  • Dosing Siphon
  • Cascaded Aeration
  • Sludge drying bed
  • Seepage backup field
Currently the WWTP handles about 250 house connections. Because of a decrease in functionality and an apparent lack of good maintenance the WWTP’s capacity is reduced. Hence, a waste water treatment plant optimization program is intended to restore the originally installed capacity to help to achieve the number of house connections as per design capacity. 

For those mentioned purpose, we are inviting potential bidders to submit the proposal, detail Scope of Work, please see :


Thank you very much for your kind attention


Sincerely yours,
Procurement IUWASH
