Summary

The Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIFFP) is Australia’s largest and most significant infrastructure investment in the Pacific. This $4 billion infrastructure initiative is actively engaging with countries in the region to significantly boost Australia’s support for infrastructure development in Pacific countries and Timor-Leste. The Facility uses grant funding combined with loans to support the development of high priority, quality infrastructure.

The AIFFP Investment Preparation and Support Unit (SU), managed by Tetra Tech International Development, is contracted to support the AIFFP meet its objectives.

The Nadi Flood Alleviation Project (NFAP) is a critical infrastructure initiative aimed at reducing flood risk in Nadi and surrounding areas through the construction of a large detention basin, a dyke system, channel works, and road raising. The project has undergone extensive study over the past decade, with significant contributions from AIFFP, JICA, and ADB, including detailed design, hydraulic modelling, and environmental and social (E&S) assessments.

In order to progress towards a financing arrangement, AIFFP, the Government of Fiji (GoF), and JICA require a clear understanding of the current estimated costs of the project, confirmation of the E&S Safeguard Risk Category, and an updated project risk schedule identifying construction-related risks for flood mitigation infrastructure.

AIFFP therefore requires an appropriately qualified and experienced consultant to undertake the services as set out in Part B, in summary being:

  • Review the existing reference designs from AIFFP and JICA in existing reports (Stage 1) and supplement with sufficient details to inform a more precise cost estimate;
  • Deliver an updated and validated cost estimate for Stage 1;
  • Confirm the E&S Safeguard Risk Category for the project;
  • Develop a Project Risk Schedule, specifically addressing construction risks for flood mitigation infrastructure; and
  • Develop a Recommended Implementation Plan, providing a roadmap for project execution.
