About the USAID-Funded Community Support Program (CSP) in Lebanon:

USAID’s Community Support Program is designed to improve the delivery of essential services and enhance economic opportunities, primarily in Lebanon’s North, South, and Beqaa regions. Through its support of municipalities and underserved and vulnerable communities, CSP aims to improve lives and reduce tensions that contribute to conflict and violence in the country.

Description of Intervention:

USAID’s Community Support Program - CSP is soliciting proposals from eligible companies in the construction and water/wastewater treatment industries for “Iaat Wastewater Treatment Plant Rehabilitation and Expansion”.

The overall objective of the intervention aims at rehabilitating the existing WasteWater Treatment Plant (WWTP) of Iaat to eliminate the hazards caused by the disposal of the insufficiently treatment effluent, in addition to expanding the WWTP by increasing its capacity to treat the additional flow coming from the recently constructed wastewater collection network in Baalbeck, Haouch Tall Safiye, Ansar, and Iaat.

The two project components, rehabilitation and expansion, entail the refurbishment and/or replacement of mechanical and electrical equipment, the restoration of civil structure and the construction of new structures.
