With the addition of COP 12 funds, Ethiopia Health Infrastructure Program (EHIP) will construct approximately 26 new Government of Ethiopia (GoE)-standard health centers , renovate approximately 25 existing health centers, and 10 new warehouses. The EHIP aligns with Ethiopias GHI country strategy Pillar 3: Improved Health Systems, which aims to achieve improved health infrastructure and laboratory systems for service delivery and PF Goal 3. Currently, Ethiopia is experiencing serious infrastructure problems in facilities with high antiretroviral therapy (ART) patient loads. The program will target health centers located in urban and peri-urban settings throughout the Amhara, Addis Ababa, SNNP and Tigray regions. The purpose of this Indefinite Quantity Contract with International Relief and Development (IRD) is to obtain construction and construction management services for the construction and renovation of GoE health facilities and infrastructure systems. The implementation plan for the proposed construction is to provide a standard floor design (cost effective) for new sites, renovations and new warehouse construction. All work undertaken by this contract will be authorized in the form of TOs and procurement actions. The actual numbers of sites to be constructed, renovated, or refurbished will depend on final site-specific assessments, which will not exceed the specified SOW and availability of LOP $60M. Upon completion of construction or renovation, the sites will be managed and maintained by the GoE. In addition to an internal M & E plan, this mechanism will also be monitored under the complementing architectural and engineering mechanism. Under this program it is expected that IRD will purchase four vehicles.

Funding for Treatment: Adult Treatment (HTXS): $0

The program will target health centers located in urban and peri-urban settings with high populations of people living with HIV. The actual numbers of sites to be renovated, refurbished or constructed will depend on final site-specific assessments, but with the addition of the COP 12 funds, we expect that approximately 26 new and 25 renovated health facilities and 10 new warehouses can be completed in total. This task order will provide services for construction program management, supervision, monitoring, and evaluation as needed to manage a total infrastructure construction program. The partner will provide complete on-site supervision for construction/renovation of facilities. Upon completion of construction or renovation, the sites will be managed and maintained by the GoE. In addition to internal monitoring and evaluations plans, this mechanism will also be monitored under the complementing architectural and engineering mechanism implemented by Tetra Tech.
