The Grantee for the project is Puertos de Anzo?tegui S.A. (PASA), a corporation created by the State Government of Anzo?tegui to administer the public and commercial ports within Anzo?tegui. The Port of Guanta belongs to the state government of Anzo?tegui and is managed by PASA, whose mission is to strategically develop activities for productive and efficient commercialization, and for the generation of revenues to support economic, social, cultural and tourism growth in the State of Anzo?tegui and Venezuela. Within Anzo?tegui, PASA manages both public and private port facilities, the most important being the Port of Guanta, which has an approximate length of 1,100 meters and has a capacity for between six and eight large cargo ships. In order to ensure optimal service and increase and improve cargo-handling capacity for both imports and exports, a rehabilitation and expansion plan for the port was presented by PASA for US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) feasibility study funding. The scope of work for this feasibility study would cover the following areas: ? Review any previous studies and evaluations ? Perform an analysis of the grain terminal demands ? Perform an analysis of domestic and transshipping container demand ? Perform an analysis of passenger ferry demand ? Develop recommendations for a port security system ? Analyze the demand requirements for a Ro-Ro berth ? Develop recommendations for rehabilitation and improvements of the gate control operations ? Determine environmental regulations and constraints and prepare recommendations ? Prepare capital cost estimates for each viable project ? Develop an implementation schedule ? Develop a financing program ? Prepare interim, draft and final reports The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $225,000 grant to the Grantee from the USTDA.
