Details

The Dominican Republic has signed a loan agreement with the Inter-American Development Bank to finance the Sustainable Coastal Management Project and will use part of the proceeds to finance this consultancy. The operation is DR-L1154 and the loan agreement is 5745/OC-DR.

The Ministry of Tourism (MITUR) invites eligible consulting firms to submit expressions of interest to carry out studies of identification, delimitation, geotechnical characterization and quantification of marine sandbanks for the regeneration of Playa Sosúa, in the province of Puerto Plata.

The services include a comprehensive marine geophysical and geotechnical research campaign to determine the availability, characteristics and technical suitability of the sediments, as well as the environmental viability of their future exploitation. The study includes a design volume of 44,000 m³ of sand and a minimum search volume of 88,000 m³, with sediments of marine or biogenic origin. The planned intervention includes the regeneration of approximately 8,000 m² of beach and the creation of a dune cord for climate protection.

The selection will be made through Quality and Cost-Based Selection (SBCC), in accordance with IDB policies. Firms must demonstrate at least ten years of experience in coastal engineering, oceanography or marine geology, as well as three sandbar characterization projects or dredging studies completed in the last ten years. They must also demonstrate availability of specialized marine prospecting equipment, including multibeam echo sounder, sub-bottom profiler and sediment core extraction systems.

Partnerships and sub-consultancies are permitted, and the shortlist will include between five and eight eligible firms. Technical or financial proposals are not required at this stage.

Note: Tender documents and annexes are available in the original language of the country.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
