PIC3's Manangareza river-port station package at Toamasina has moved from an August 2025 national tender to a signed works contract. ECH BTP holds 031/T/PIC3/2025, signed on 28 November 2025 for USD 1,272,815.07. Separate World Bank entries name Bureau d'Etudes Da Vinci SARL and Cabinet d'Architecture A&C for both the design study and construction supervision. The owner tender describes one indivisible lot, while the pre-award consultant scope calls for improved shoreside facilities and separation of passenger and goods traffic. Cited materials leave the notice to proceed, site mobilisation, construction progress, completion and owner acceptance unverified.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
National Coordination of the Economic Transformation for Inclusive Growth Project (PIC3), financed by the International Development Association
Delivery parties
ECH BTP - prime works contractor named in World Bank contract record 1882240, Bureau d'Etudes Da Vinci SARL and Cabinet d'Architecture A&C - design-study and construction-supervision consultant team named in World Bank records 1758021 and 1815052, Material suppliers, river plant, specialist marine subcontractors and other lower tiers - not identified in the cited public records
Contract route
PIC3 issued national open tender T-001/PIC3/2025 for one indivisible works lot under IDA financing. The official tender notice is dated 1 August 2025, the PIC works listing records launch on 6 August and closure on 8 September 2025, and World Bank contract record 1882240 gives signed contract reference 031/T/PIC3/2025, ECH BTP, a 28 November 2025 signature and USD 1,272,815.07 committed value. The World Bank record classifies the Request for Bids as post review and stores a 27 April 2026 no-objection date; that is an administrative field, not a physical-delivery milestone.
Execution window
The pre-award consultant terms forecast nine months for supervision including one month for final reports, but that planning assumption does not establish the works contract's actual commencement or completion dates. No public notice to proceed, possession record, approved baseline programme, mobilisation notice, progress certificate, completion record or operating release has been located.
Works package
The official tender covers rehabilitation and development of the Manangareza river station at Toamasina as one indivisible lot. The earlier consultant terms call for improved capacity, performance and service quality, upgraded shoreside infrastructure, related operating facilities, separation of passenger and goods traffic, integration with the city and land transport, and planning to a 2040 horizon. The cited public records do not disclose an awarded bill of quantities, quay or landing dimensions, structural sections, dredging quantities, fendering, mooring hardware, services, passenger-building details or issued-for-construction drawings.
Marine interfaces
The asset joins small-craft river access to passenger circulation, goods handling and shoreside transport at an operating urban river edge. Constructability questions include temporary boarding arrangements, navigation and public-access controls, water-level variation, landing-edge geometry, cargo-passenger segregation, materials delivery and inspection. These are scope-derived interfaces, not evidence of an approved method statement or field execution.
Commercial evidence boundary
USD 1,272,815.07 is the World Bank record's committed works-contract amount for ECH BTP. The separate consultant contracts are USD 47,272.88 for the design study and USD 106,149.26 for supervision; they must not be added to the works value as though they were ECH BTP scope. No bid spread, certified expenditure, variation, payment status, retention, final account or exchange-rate basis is public.
