Invitation for Expression of Interest (EOI) for the Operations & Management of Ferry Terminals through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Arrangements

 

1.0 Background

The Lagos State Government (LSG) as an integral part of its vision and policy thrust has embraced the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model as a Key strategy for the accelerated delivery of its public infrastructure.

 

Lagos, with a population of over 20 million people and projected to be the 3rd largest megacity in the world within the decade hitting the 25 million population mark, is Nigeria’s economic and commercial nerve-centre. With this anticipated  increase in population, there is a need for an effective intermodal transportation infrastructure within the context of the LSG Transport Master Plan.

 

Ferry operations have proven worldwide to be an environmentally friendly effective mode of relieving road transport congestion for passenger traffic. The physical environment of Lagos comprising of 22% lagoons and water bodies makes it well-suited to leverage water transportation as an integral part of its transportation system.

 

The Lagos State Waterways Master Plan currently makes provision for 11 major ferry routes amongst which include: Marina to Mile 2, Ikorodu to Addax/Falomo, Ikorodu to Ebute-Ero, Badore to Ijede, Badore to Five Cowries and Mile 2 to Marina/CMS.

 

The State has 61 registered ferry operators and an estimated ferry ridership of 1.2 million passengers a month. To cater for growing demand, the LSG through the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) is desirous of concessioning the following ferry terminals for Operations & Maintenance (O&M):

 

[A]    Ipakodo (Ikorodu) Consists of 18,000sq.m. floor space and an estimated 200 car parking lots. It is equipped with a fuel dump and ample provision for retail outlets including shops, banking halls, restaurants etc. 95% completion.

 

[B]     Mile 2 Consists of 6,200 sq.m. floor space and an estimated 200 car parking lots. It is equipped with a fuel dump and ample provision for retail outlets including shops, banking halls, restaurants etc. 100% completion.

 

[C]     Badore Consists of 24,000 sq.m. floor space and an estimated 250 car parking lots. It is equipped with a fuel dump and ample provision for retail outlets including shops, banking halls, restaurants etc. 80% completion.

 

[D]    Osborne – Consists of 14,500 sq.m. floor space and an estimated 170 car parking lots. It is equipped with a fuel dump and ample provision for retail outlets including shops, banking halls, restaurants etc. 60% completion.

 

Each of the terminals is also fitted with a Slipway for vehicles, goods and services.

 

On behalf of the LSG and within the context of the State’s extant procurement PPP laws, LASWA now invites Expression of interest (EOI) from reputable and experienced operators either as an individual firm or in a consortium, to participate in a competitive tender process for the Operations and Management Concession of the Ipakodo (Ikorodu), Mile 2, Badore and Osborne Terminals.

 

The execution of the project will be for a defined concession period under the O&M model. Firms or Consortia can submit their EOI for each or a combination of the Terminals.

The requirements for the execution of the Project will include but not limited to the following:
