Brazil's Goiás state utility Saneago has qualified two bidders for its 1.07bn-real (US$525mn) tender to concession waterworks services for the municipalities of Aparecida de Goiânia, Trindade, Rio Verde and Jataí, tenders commission engineer José Vicente da Silva Junior told BNamericas.
"The qualifying bidders include sanitation company Aegea Saneamento, which is part of the Equipav group, and the Centro-Oeste consortium formed by sanitation company Foz do Brasil (Odebrecht group) and construction firms Noberto Odebrecht and Central do Brasil," da Silva Junior said.
The filing of appeals will not be permitted until January 10. This appeals phase will then be followed by technical qualifications and price evaluations, according to the engineer.
The winner will be chosen based on the best technical proposal and canon payment, with the latter set at a minimum of 90mn reais.
Within six years, the concessionaire will need to provide universal sewerage services for clients that already have potable water service. The operator will also have to reduce loss rates and manage billing and payment collection for both water and sewerage throughout the contract period, which is just under 30 years.
The contemplated region is expected to have a population of some 1.36mn by the end of the contract in 2041. Currently, the area has approximately 900,000 residents.
