Call for expression of interest for provision of services: Development of Schematic and Detailed Design for Public Space Interventions in Gjakova, Prizren and Gjilan.

RfQ no 10003782

The GIZ Office in Kosovo is planning to launch a tender for the Development of Schematic and Detailed Designs for climate-resilient public space interventions in the Municipalities in Gjakova, Prizren and Gjilan.

The objective of this assignment is to prepare technically sound, climate-sensitive and construction ready design packages for selected public space and urban regeneration interventions. The designs shall integrate Nature-based Solutions, green-blue infrastructure, accessibility, inclusive public space planning, climate resilience, and practical implementation requirements.

The tender is divided into three lots, each covering one municipality and one specific intervention site. Each lot has a defined local context and technical scope, while the overall objective remains the same: to develop schematic and detailed designs that can serve as the basis for subsequent construction procurement and implementation.

Key activities include:

• Reviewing relevant municipal planning, technical, infrastructure, environmental, and legal documents.
• Conducting field assessments, site analysis, surveys, technical investigations, and stakeholder consultations.
• Preparing schematic designs based on site-specific spatial, environmental, infrastructure, mobility, accessibility, and climate-risk analyses.
• Integrating climate resilience, Nature-based Solutions, biodiversity, accessibility, safety, and inclusive public space principles.
• Preparing permit- and implementation-ready detailed designs, technical drawings, specifications, cost estimates, Bills of Quantities, and construction tender documentation.
• Coordinating the designs with existing and planned municipal infrastructure, including drainage, wastewater, storm water, lighting, access, and public space systems.
• Preparing maps, sections, profiles, 3D renderings, presentations, environmental measures, safety plans, maintenance plans, and construction phasing documentation.
