MHUUD, with the technical assistance of the PPP central unit, was planning to build a wastewater treatment plant in Sixth of October City, under a PPP scheme, with a capacity of 150,000 cubic meters per day. The project was expected to be completed in June 2012. The project was to be constructed on a design, build, operate and transfer (DBOT) basis, with the handover to the Egyptian government taking place after 20 years. Ernst & Young is listed as the lead consultant on the project. Hanoura said the Egyptian New Urban Communities Authority did not comply with the agreement terms in establishing a separate industrial wastewater and sewage for human consumption, even after the project received all governmental approvals, citing a shortage of funds. Project Timeline: - In Q4 2011, the ITB for the DBOT contract was issued (delayed four times from December 2009). - In February 2010, companies were prequalified for the DBOT contract. - In December 2009, companies submitted their prequalification documents for the DBOT contract. - In November 2009, the RFQ for the DBOT contract was issued. © 2012
