The Government of Liberia through NaFAA is soliciting the services of a qualified Consultant Firm or Consultant Consortia for provision of consultancy services to update the environmental and social impact assessment for construction, operation and decommissioning of the Mesurado Industrial Fishing Port and Artisanal Fish Landing Site and access road at the Mesurado Pier, Coast Guard Base, Freeport of Monrovia. The general objective of the assignment is to place particular emphasis on a comprehensive review and critical analysis of the geotechnical data and design, with the aim of confirming that the findings of the geotechnical studies fully support the requirements of the selected design. At the same time, the updated ESIA will identify and assess potential adverse environmental and social impacts associated with these geotechnical findings; examine project alternatives; identify ways of improving project selection, siting, planning, design and implementation to apply the mitigation hierarchy. Beyond impact identification, the Updated ESIA will prescribe proportionate and practical mitigation measures while establishing clear processes, procedures, and systems for effective environmental and social risk management. In doing so, the Updated ESIA will provide a framework to guide decision-making across the construction, operation, and decommissioning phases, ensuring alignment with national regulatory requirements, international safeguard standards, and good international industry practice.
