- Description
- The Millennium Challenge Corporation ("MCC") is a U.S. Government agency focused on assisting countries dedicated to good governance, economic freedom, and investments in people. The Government of Mongolia ("Government") has applied for grant funding from the MCC (a "Compact") and intends to apply a part of the proceeds of that funding to payments for contracts for goods, works and services. The Compact tentatively includes investment from MCC of approximately USD 350,000,000. The Government's proposal aims to increase the water supply to Mongolia's capital city, Ulaanbaatar. The Compact will likely include investment in three proposed activities: (i)Bulk water supply activity: construction of new groundwater wells with attendant transmission lines and reservoirs, along with a treatment plant to remove minerals and potential contaminants, in order to increase bulk water supplies; (ii)Wastewater recycling activity: construction of a new wastewater recycling plant and pipelines to provide high-quality recycled water to "replace" fresh water currently used by two combined heating and power plants (CHPs); (iii)Sustainability activity: support for policy reforms, capacity building and technical assistance to improve the long-term sustainability of the city's water supply. The Government has authorized the National Secretariat for Development of the Second Compact Agreement between the Government of Mongolia and the US Millennium Challenge Corporation ("National Secretariat"), a unit established within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to represent it in conducting the procurement for Procurement Agent Services.
