5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria
Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated.
5.3. Technical Evaluation
5.3.1. Scoring Method
Your Proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that ‘0’ is low and ‘10’ is high.
5.3.2. Minimum Quality Thresholds
Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further.
5.3.3. Technical Score
Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your Proposal’s overall technical score.
5.4. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores
The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your Financial Proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest Financial Proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.3.2) by the total price of your Financial Proposal.
Thus, for example, if your Financial Proposal is for a total of CHF 100 and the lowest Financial Proposal is CHF 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80%
5.5. Total Score
Your Proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score.
The relative weights will be:
Technical: 70%
Financial: 30%
Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%.

About the Project
The Mainstreaming and Integrated Water Resources Management approach for More Resilient Basins in Mozambique [MozWateR] is a geared project towards achieving water security and safety by supporting Mozambique in developing its capacity to implement effective integrated water resources management (IWRM) in key basins in the northern and central water administration regions and improve capacity at a national level. This project is a collaborative effort where joint action on the ground will produce critical lessons from tried best practices that inform policy which strengthen business approaches, institutions, and rules around the sustainable use of land and water. MozWateR is being implemented collaboratively with the Northern Regional Water Administration (ARA-Norte), Central Regional Water Administration (ARA-Centro) and the National Directorate for Water Resources Management (DNGRH) as primary Implementing Partners (IPs) to combat several challenges in the national water sector.
Description of goods and Services
1. Objectives
Implementation of the construction project for the Zembe dam located in the Macate District, Manica Province. The works include the construction of the dam structure and auxiliary water utilization infrastructure.
The construction of the dam has the following objectives:
i. Improved threat management and disaster risk reduction;
ii. Promote and reduce small-scale crop loss, especially of vegetables and legumes, during periods of drought;
iii. Ensure the availability of water for domestic use;
iv. Other social activities.
2. Site overview
The proposed location for the dam is situated in the Búzi River basin, specifically along the Mucessa River, at coordinates 19°16’25.70″S and 33°21’15.24″E, in the Zembe Administrative Post, Macate District, Manica Province.
From a geological point of view, rock outcrops are observed in the bed of the identified section, but not on the slopes.
Regarding the valley’s morphology, it is a narrow and shallow section, with a maximum estimated depth of about 4 meters, suitable for dam construction. The valley is relatively closed in the area of the dam’s axis and slightly more open upstream, a condition favorable to achieving a good water storage capacity.
From a hydrological point of view, it is noteworthy that the river has a constant flow throughout the year, associated with the presence of relatively dense vegetation on its banks and low levels of sedimentation. This fact indicates that the watercourse does not transport large quantities of sediment, thus contributing to the longevity of the reservoir and reducing the need for frequent maintenance interventions.
Regarding accessibility, the site is located less than 5 km from the headquarters of the Administrative Post, with viable access for vehicles, which facilitates the mobilization of resources during the construction phase.
According to the classification of Wladimir Köppen, the climate covering the District and the locality in question is of the humid temperate type. With an average annual rainfall of approximately 1,501 mm according to data from the meteorological station of Espungabera and average annual reference evapotranspiration of around 1,170 mm; the rainy season occurs mainly from October to April, with the highest rainfall recorded between December and March. Statement of Requirements for the Zembe Dam Construction Project, February 23, 2026
4. Socioeconomic Impacts
The section chosen for the dam’s construction is located upstream from communities and agricultural production areas, enabling gravity-fed water supply. The construction of this infrastructure will boost agricultural activity, with a special focus on vegetable production, as well as contribute to meeting the domestic water needs of the adjacent population.
This component will benefit approximately 1500 people and irrigate about 15 hectares.
The main crops grown in the region under rain-fed conditions are maize, sorghum, and beans. Irrigated agriculture is practiced, but on a scale far below its existing potential.
5. The Project
The Project consists of the execution of works, comprising the following:
i) A dam: this is an infrastructure with a reinforced concrete waterproofing core, with a vertical upstream face, embedded 2.00 meters deep in the natural ground. The downstream face will also be vertical and will be supported by buttresses and steps of mortared stone, embedded on the horizontal slab, which constitutes the dissipation basin, duly treated and prepared for this purpose. The crest will extend for approximately 40.00 meters, with a maximum height of 4.00 meters, where a central rectangular spillway 16.00 meters long and 0.60 meters high will be incorporated. The spillway sill will be at a height of 3.40 meters.
ii) A water intake well: this is a structure approximately 4m deep and 2.3m in diameter, as can be seen in the drawings, to be built to allow the extraction of water stored in the reservoir. This structure includes not only the well but also the “kit” consisting of the submersible pump and the solar power system. The solar panels should be placed on top of the elevated tank tower. This will have pipes inside, the bottom one of which will be split to ensure water enters the bottom of the well. The well must be built in a location and at an elevation that allows it to be recharged by percolation of the water stored in the reservoir through the soil.
iii) An elevated deposit: this is a metal structure approximately 4m high, to be built to accommodate a 5000l tank on top, allowing the fountain and drinking troughs to be fed by gravity.
iv) Two fountains: this refers to a solid block masonry structure designed to provide convenient and safe access to water for people. The project includes the concrete and block masonry structure, plumbing fixtures from the elevated tank, and a 1m diameter drain to keep the area dry.
(v) A laundromat: this refers to a metal-framed shed, covered with sheet metal, equipped with six laundry tubs and a clothesline, as shown in the drawings.
vi) A drinking fountain: this refers to a rectangular, ground-level tank with two cells, measuring 10m in length and 1.6m in width, to be built to facilitate convenient and safe access to water for livestock.
6.Planned Activities
The planned interventions can be summarized in the following points:
i. Placement of the construction sign and dam identification sign;
ii. Earthmoving (levelling);
iii. Construction of the dam’s foundation;
iv. Construction of the waterproofing wall;
v. Construction of the energy dissipation basin slab;
vi. Construction of the side walls, which also serve as buttresses at the ends of the spillway.
vii. Construction of stepped energy dissipators;
viii. Construction of the bottom outlet for controlling discharge flows;
ix. Protection of the dam abutments;
x. Protection of the recollection channel using a medium-sized stone with a minimum dimension of 30 cm in a 60 cm bed;
xi. Cleaning the reservoir area;
xii. Perform general finishing work on the dam body;
xiii. Construction of the intake well;
xiv. Construction of the elevated storage tank;
xv. Construction of two fountains;
xvi. Laundry construction;
xvii. Construction of a drinking fountain.
6.1. Project Identification Plate
Before and after the project implementation, construction signs and an identification or
awareness sign measuring 1500mm x 1200mm should be installed, respectively, supported by a gantry with two galvanized posts measuring 76mm x 3m, containing the relevant inscriptions to be indicated by the project owner.
The sign should be placed within a maximum radius of 150 meters and in a clearly visible
location.
6.2 Earthmoving (levelling)
In order to ensure the embedment of the dam body, excavation of soil along its axis to the project depth must be carried out using mechanical or manual means. The bed of the excavated section must be properly compacted.
In the stilling basin area, the top layer of sand should be removed to a depth of 1m, followed by proper compaction.
Soil must be removed to a minimum depth of 1 meter for the construction of the water tower and drinking fountain foundations, followed by proper compaction. In order to construct the well, the ground must be excavated to the depth specified in the project.
NB: All uncompensated removed soil from landfills must be transported to a carefully selected disposal site within a 200m radius, to be approved by the inspection authorities.
6.3. Construction of the dam foundation and the stilling basin slab.
The dam foundation will consist of a vertical reinforced concrete curtain, approximately 2m deep from one end to the other and 50cm thick in uniform proportion, and a horizontal curtain (simmersion basin slab, made of mortared stone, rubble + mortar in a 1:4 volume ratio) supported on properly compacted ground. The concrete and steel to be used will be
B25 and A400 respectively. Due to the aggressive environmental conditions to which the reinforcement will be exposed underground, it must have a 10cm cover. Before the placement and tying of the reinforcing bars, a 10cm thick layer of lean concrete should be applied along the excavation bed.
If sound, uncracked rock is found at a depth of less than 2m, it should be requested approval from the inspection authorities for the new depth.
6.4 Construction of the Wall/Waterproofing
The waterproofing wall, consisting of a vertical curtain that prevents water from passing through it, with a uniform thickness of 50cm, should be constructed of reinforced concrete, using A400 steel and B25 concrete. This wall must be embedded at the abutments for a minimum length of 2.00 meters.
6.5 Construction of the buttresses
In addition to the horizontal slab, the dissipation basin will consist of a cascade formed by steps to be constructed with mortared stone (crushed stone + mortar in a volume ratio of 1:4).
6.6 Energy dissipation steps
Energy dissipation will be achieved through steps constructed immediately following the discharge structure. The steps will rest on the horizontal slab already described in section 6.3.
6.7 Protection of the recollection channel
In order to avoid erosion of the natural channel immediately downstream of the stilling basin, the recollection channel should be protected with a two-layer bed of medium-sized stone, 30 cm in size, with a total thickness of at least 60 cm, along a length of 15 meters.
6.8 Protection of joints
The joints will be protected by placing a layer of stone, covered with mortar in a 1:4 ratio, according to the project details.
6.9 Cleaning the reservoir area
During and after construction, the cleaning of the reservoir area should consist of dredging, digging up and removing garbage, debris, vegetation, shrubs and hedges that are deemed to interfere with the construction process.
6.10 General finishing touches on the dam
The overall finishing work on the dam will consist of (i) eliminating any cracks and defects,
(ii) treating the entire downstream and upstream face with cement paste, and (iii) cleaning the entire perimeter of the dam and its access roads.
6.11 Construction of the intake well
This includes the installation of porous concrete rings on a simple B15 concrete footing, in
an excavation to be carried out according to the project dimensions, and the installation of a gravel filter and hydraulic and electrical accessory kits as specified in the drawings.
6.12 Construction of the elevated tank
This includes the metal tower supported on reinforced concrete footings with A400 steel and B25 concrete, and the installation of the 5000l plastic tank, piping and fittings from the intake. The metal elements will be joined to form a monolithic unit through welded connections. All metal elements must benefit from an anti-corrosive paint finish in a color to be approved by the inspection. The dimensions of the various elements can be seen in the drawings.
6.13 Construction of two fountains
This includes the construction of a reinforced concrete ground floor slab using A400 steel and B15 concrete, and masonry walls made of solid blocks to be laid with mortar in a 1:5 volume ratio, and the installation of plumbing fixtures. It should also benefit from a 1:4 volume plaster finish on the exterior and painting with paint in a color to be approved by the inspection. Dimensions and other specifications are found in the drawings.
6.14 Laundry construction
This includes the construction of a metal-framed porch, with structural elements made of metal tubing, resting on a reinforced concrete foundation (A400 steel and B25 concrete), a B25 concrete floor, and an IBR sheet roof. It also includes the construction of two metal portals to support the clothesline.
6.15 Construction of a drinking fountain.
This includes the construction of a reinforced concrete ground floor slab using A400 steel and B15 concrete, and walls made of solid masonry blocks to be laid with mortar in a 1:5 volume ratio. It should also benefit from a 1:4 volume plaster finish on the exterior and interior, with the interior of the drinking trough to be finished with cement. Dimensions and specifications are found in the drawings.
7. Materials
i) Concrete
The production of concrete must respect the composition approved by the inspection. The concrete will be manufactured by a concrete mixer, and the placement process must be accompanied by vibration; the inspection will ensure that this task is carried out as required.
ii) Mortars
The mortars to be used in the work will consist of siliceous sand, normal Portland cement, water and possibly plasticizing or waterproofing additives. The manufacture of the mortars will preferably be done by mechanical means, although manual production on smooth wooden or metal platforms is permitted, in proportion to the project.
After manufacturing, mortars should be transported to the application sites using clean, nonabsorbent means of transport that do not cause segregation of the components. When circumstances permit, mortar transport may be carried out by gravity, compressed air, or pumping.
iii) Steel
The steel for the reinforced concrete will be round bars with the diameters indicated in the project and of class A400NR.
The steel must be of homogeneous texture, fine grain, non-brittle, and free from zinc plating, paint, tar, clay, oil, grease, loose rust and excessive scale, cement grout, or other materials that impair its adhesion to the concrete, scrupulously complying with the prescriptions of the
Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures Regulation. When this is the case, the reinforcement bars must be vigorously brushed with a wire brush and inspected by the supervisory authority.
The tolerance of the reinforcing bars diameters must meet the specifications in standard NP-332, including ribbed steel bars where the tolerance will be measured between the nominal diameter and the effective diameter.
The profiles to be used will be made of Fe360 (S235) class steel, as specified in REAE and/or Eurocode 3, and must be supplied with a quality certificate.
8. Construction Duration
