DAI_Fleming Fund Country Grant to Indonesia is looking for
Laboratories Renovation Assessment Engineer / Architect
Jakarta Base
Background
DAI Indonesia has been engaged under the (UK) Fleming Fund to strengthen the
National Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Antimicrobial Use (AMU)
surveillance system in an integrated way with the One Health approach in Human
Health, Animal Health and Aqua-culture sectors. Approximately 20 Reference or
Sentinel AMR human health or animal health or aquaculture health labs, are to
be upgraded and renovated under the Grant in order to improve the national AMR
surveillance network and to bring the labs up to international standards,
including International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 15189 and 17025.
The labs are located all over the country from Aceh in the far west, western,
central and east Java and on Sulawesi. Assessments of the labs are to be
undertaken to develop the requirements for building renovations and medical
equipping for the labs.
The requirements for the refurbishment at the labs and equipment needs will be
based on the space allocated for AMR surveillance functions and to bring it up
to the required standards that could meet the needs of ISO 15189 certification.
It is intended that a specialized and qualified architectural/ civil works
engineering design firm will be engaged to design the labs which will: a)
assess the labs; and b) prepare a detailed design and costing for each. The
construction works will be carried out by pre-qualified contractors.
The labs are to be assessed by small teams, including the Engineer/ Architect,
using standardized checklists, (Lab Assessment Tool - LAT), and within the
constraints caused by travel restrictions as a result of COVID-19. The
assessments will develop an understanding of the existing general organization
of the labs, space usage and the workflow, to identify all the needs for
renovation, specimen sample storage capacity and needs, training, and some
Biosafety and Biosecurity details. The assessments will consider the disposal
of wastes, space allocation, inter-relationship between the different lab
rooms, etc.
The assessments will gather sufficiently accurate and comprehensive information
to prepare a Scope of Work for a design firm to prepare detailed designs of
required renovation works (with special attention to ensuring reliable/ back-up
power supplies at each lab.). The firm will prepare drawings showing the
existing and proposed layouts - for approval by the respective lab authorities;
Bills of Quantities; technical specifications; and confidential cost estimates.
The renovation works will not require new or major building works. It is
anticipated that the renovation works will comprise: minor non-load bearing
wall removal; widening or blocking up of door openings; partition walls;
windows and doors; hygienic coverings to floors and walls; false ceilings;
water supply and plumbing, electrical works, biometric access control,
installation of fire detection equipment and fire-fighting equipment, supply
and installation of air conditioners for climate control; and the supply,
assembly, delivery and installation of furniture and epoxy resin bench tops
