Scope of Work
1. Collect and analyze solar radiation data (daily and monthly) for Mongolia’s urban areas by means of internationally accepted simulation software program. (Name and coordination of the cities will be provided.)
2. Develop a database for planning/estimating of:
- The solar thermal systems for active and passive heating and hot water of residential and commercial buildings.
- Solar heat gain for calculation of cooling and heating load (for planning and design of space heating and air condition system)
3. Recommend methodologies for:
- Planning/estimating of solar thermal systems, solar hot water supply and heating.
- Calculating/determining financial and fuel saving benefits from using of solar thermal system.
4. Develop a database of most popular solar collectors and other components for solar thermal systems.
Inputs for the above task should be collected through:
1. Desk review of the relevant documents, policy papers, surveys and reports, and statistics.
2. Meetings and interviews with relevant national stakeholders (Ministry of Roads, Transportation, Construction and Urban Development (MRTCUD), Ministry of Nature Environment, and Tourism etc.).
Deliverables:
1. Inception report - Within 7 working days after the commencement of the contract. The inception report will outline survey approach including a plan for study, analyzing and reporting credible information about solar thermal energy application in Mongolia. The proposed work approach, methodologies and timelines need to be approved by the National Project Director (NPD) and UNDP.
2. Interim report (Presentation of the findings and progress) within the second week after the inception report submission. The interim report will present the preliminary findings and progress of the assignment to the PIU, NPD and UNDP. Revision of the work plan and methodologies can be discussed based on the progress, if needed.
3. Draft final report 5 working days before the completion of the consultant’s mission to Mongolia). A full draft of the final report will be prepared in accordance with the provided outline with a full set of annexes and submitted to the NPD and UNDP for review, at least 5 days prior to the completion of the mission. The report should discuss Mongolian solar radiation value in urban areas, potentials to be applied in heating systems or hot water supply in the buildings, methodologies for estimating, planning of solar heating in energy efficient buildings. In addition, the consultant shall make a presentation of the draft to the NPD, UNDP and other stakeholders to obtain comments.
4. Final report The revised final report will be submitted to the NPD and UNDP within 5 days after receiving comments and feedbacks on the draft final report.
In addition the Consultant should deliver the following:
1. Methodology guideline for:
- Estimating of solar thermal systems for heating of space and water
- Estimating of solar heat gain for cooling load;
- Calculating of financial and fuel saving benefits from using of the solar thermal system (active and passive solar heating, cooling, hot water) in Energy Efficient buildings.
Breakdown of the expected timeline:
11-16 Oct. 2010 (1 week), Home based desk work. Consultant will be in charge of analyzing relevant documents and develop inception report that contains proposed work approach and work plan
20 Oct. - 17 Nov. 2010 (4 weeks), Mission work (Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia). Develop the database and methodology guidelines mentioned in the TOR. Submit inception, interim and draft final reports.
21-28 Nov. 2010 (1 week), Home based desk work. Submit final report
Management arrangements:
The short-term consultant will be responsible to the UNDP Mongolia and will report to the National Project Director (NPD). The MRTCUD and UNDP hold the copyright of the assignment outputs. During his/ her mission, the International consultant will be provided with an office space at the Project Implementation Unit and receive necessary support from the project officers.
The present TORs may be adjusted and modified, without changing the overall objective and the scope of work, on the basis of consultations.
Payment modality and schedule:
The UNDP standard method of payment is the output-based lump-sum scheme and the payment will be made in two installments upon satisfactory completion of the above deliverables:
1st installment – 30% upon the approval/clearance of the interim report
2nd installment – 70% upon the approval of the final report
Evaluation criteria and weight:
Experts will be evaluated against combination of technical and financial criteria. Maximum obtainable score is 100, out of which the total score for technical criteria equals to 70 and for financial criteria – to 30.
As for the technical evaluation, the following aspects will be considered:
- Background and education – 15%
- Practical previous experience relevant to the announced TOR – 30%
- Substantial knowledge and professional experiences in solar heat technology, and required competences – 40%
- Required language and other technical skills -15%
Application procedure:
Qualified and interested candidates are requested to apply on-line through this site.
The application should contain:
- Filled P11 form
- Achievement based detailed CV
- Brief cover letter addressing the requirements stated
- Plan of work execution
- Short introduction of a simulation software offered for solar radiation
- Financial proposal*
* The financial proposal should have a breakdown of consultancy fee and all travel-related costs that are expected to be incurred. While preparing your proposal, kindly note that the standard for air travels authorized by UNDP for individual subscribers is economy class.
