AM-13224 RF/EOI UXO Specialist Panel
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.
Some of the Pacific Island countries that AIFFP are investing in have a known presence of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO). UXO is a risk in project locations where new or refurbished infrastructure is required, as it is potentially hazardous if moved or disturbed.
To manage the risks associated with UXO presence and to support the continuation of infrastructure works in safe working and operating environment, AIFFP is seeking the services of a UXO Specialist. The UXO Specialist will provide advisory services to AIFFP to effectively manage UXO related risks and impacts on its projects.
The AIFFP Support Unit seeks to engage suitably experienced UXO Project Risk Management technical Specialist (‘Consultant’) to provide flexible, ad hoc specialist support across multiple infrastructure projects in the Pacific region and Timor Leste, encompassing all sectors including but not limited to aviation, transportation, and energy.
The objective of this engagement is to deliver expert risk assessment, technical advice and options development related to UXO investigations, remediation and safe project progression, supporting AIFFP’s investments and ensuring site safety and project operability
Services will be intermittent, until 30 June 2026, with a possible extension until 30 June 2027. The full requirements are set out in the terms of reference at Part B.
