ICT tender: Trinidad looks for CCTV equipment

The government of Trinidad and Tobago has received a loan from the Inter-American Development Bank to acquire a closed-circuit television (CCTV) system, integrated with a truck, to be used for sewer pipeline inspection.

"The primary function of the wastewater collection system is conveyance; the CCTV is used to assist in determining the condition of the sewers and to inform on the hydraulic capacity of the sewer system. Operational defects such as root intrusion, sediments, fats, oils, and grease, all reduce the cross-sectional area of the pipe, which in turn reduces hydraulic capacity. Major structural defects on the sewer pipes can affect the hydraulic capacity and can lead to pipe collapse," reads a procurement notice published on the UN Development Business site.

Bidders for the three-year contract must have the following experience and/or capabilities:

● General Project Administration and Management

● Procurement of Goods and Related Services

● Incoterms and Logistics

● Mechanical/Automotive Engineering

● Electrical Engineering

● Construction and Retro-fitting

● Software Engineering and Programming

● Geographic Information System (GIS) -ESRI Applications

● CCTV Inspection Software and Applications

● Video and Image Editing

● Information Technology

Bidding will be conducted through international competitive bidding procedures as specified by the IDB, and is open to all eligible bidders as defined in the policies.

Bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes by March 3, 2pm local time, to the following address: Farm Road, St. Joseph, Trinidad, W.I.
