Africa - Zambia Kafue Town - Muzuma - Victoria Falls Regional Transmission Line Reinforcement Project : procurement plan

62743 Kafue Town - Muzuma - Victoria Falls Regional Transmission Line Reinforcement Project (Project ID No P124351) Abbreviated Procurement Plan I. GENERAL 1. The project will have three components: Component 1: Upgrading of the existing 220kV transmission line to 330kV. Estimated cost US$16.2 million. This component consists of replacing the existing 341 kilometers of 220kV transmission cable from Kafue-town through Muzuma to Victoria falls with a new 330 kV transmission cable on the same towers. Component 2: Reinforcement and Construction of Substations Estimated cost US$87.8 million. Under this component, the existing 220 kV transformers and associated switchgear equipment will be decommissioned and replaced with 330 kV transformers and associated equipment at the Kafue Town and Muzuma substations, and new 330/220 kV substation will be constructed at Livingstone. The use of available bays within the Kafue Town and Muzuma substations for installation of the new transformers and other equipment, and the deliberate selection of the site for the new Livingstone substation in an unpopulated area will minimize the environmental and social impacts of the project and will increase the implementation speed. Component 3: Project Management, Environmental and Social Mitigation, and TA to ZESCO. Estimated Cost US$6 million. 1.
