Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- Government of Tuvalu under the World Bank-financed Maritime Investment in Climate Resilient Operations II project
- Delivery parties
- Hall Civil Contracting Pty Ltd - design-build contractor under TV-MPWIELMD-360039-CW-RFP, Nanumaga and Nanumea harbor supervision consultant - separate contract reported signed on 19 June 2025; firm name not identified in the cited mission text, Marine survey, dredging, armour-rock, concrete, building, utility and local logistics subcontractors - not identified in the cited award record
- Contract route
- Contract 1850494 identifies a prior-review Request for Proposals for works and records the 21 July 2025 signature. The June 2025 aide-memoire describes a sole-bidder negotiation process and reports negotiated island pricing before contingency and withholding tax. Those negotiation figures are not final island contract allocations in the supplier API.
- Execution window
- The June 2025 mission table set August 2027 as Nanumaga's estimated completion and January 2028 as Nanumea's. The current World Bank project API lists 31 July 2029 as the programme closing date. Neither date proves current design, mobilisation, construction or acceptance status.
- Works package
- The project API describes Nanumaga as a new safe harbor for a 10 m workboat with cargo and passenger areas and an upgraded access road. Nanumea covers extension of existing harbor facilities with passenger holding, cargo storage, additional berthing for local fishing boats and road upgrades. The wider programme contemplates reef channels, turning basins, breakwaters, jetties, small wharves, ramps, navigation aids and coastal protection, but the exact contract schedule is not public in the cited award record.
- Marine interfaces
- Design and construction must resolve reef-channel geometry, wave penetration, workboat manoeuvring, breakwater armour, berth and ramp levels, imported materials, utility links, local access and inter-island logistics. Separate island surveys, environmental controls, weather windows, material sources and acceptance tests are required; the signed award alone does not allocate them.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- The USD 62.552 million committed supplier amount is the combined two-island contract value. The aide-memoire's island estimates exclude contingency and withholding tax and should not be used as a final contract split. Additional-financing needs and the separate Nukufetau funding gap do not belong to this award value.
