Task 1 – Review and Update of the Existing Feasibility Study

The Consultant shall undertake a comprehensive review and validation of the existing Feasibility Study to confirm that the proposed public investment remains technically, functionally, operationally, environmentally and institutionally justified and that the existing ISUV building is suitable for rehabilitation and adaptation into a Residues and Contaminants Laboratory.

Where deficiencies, inconsistencies or outdated assumptions are identified, the Consultant shall update the Feasibility Study and recommend the most appropriate technical solutions prior to commencement of the detailed engineering design.

Task 2 – Site Assessment and Confirmation of Design Criteria

Following the approval of the updated Feasibility Study, the Consultant shall undertake all necessary investigations, surveys and technical assessments required to establish a reliable basis for the detailed engineering design.

The purpose of this task is to verify the physical, structural, legal and technical conditions of the existing ISUV facility and confirm that all engineering design assumptions are based on accurate and up-to-date information.

The Consultant shall review all available information and, where necessary, undertake additional investigations to verify existing conditions and identify any constraints that may affect the rehabilitation and adaptation of the laboratory facility.
