Financed by the German Government through KfW, a new building for 300 to 450 staff is to be built on the location of the Survey School in Accra (5 ha; latitude 5° 35,48’ N, longitude 0° 10,92’ W). The costs estimated for this purpose range between equivalent of between 2 and 3 million Euros. This building and its surroundings should be designed according to the demands of ecological and energy saving aspects and the local (climate) conditions. An ecological overall concept has to include the green space, the design, the construction and the installation. Main topics are energy, water, green space and traffic/parking as well as the environmental quality inside and outside of the building.

The requested services of the consultants comprise: architectural design, all engineering components, preparation of documents for a national tender for the construction, evaluation of the respective bids thereto, construction supervision and assistance to the Client in accepting the works. A detailed topographical and geotechnical survey map will be prepared in time by the Client for the bidders. At least one key person in the team must be a member of a professional architects association.

After having completed the evaluation of the prequalification documents, a short-list consisting of five highest ranked Consultants or less, scoring a minimum of 70 points will be established.
