Aegea frontrunner in US$526mn Brazilian waterworks PPP
Brazilian sanitation company Aegea has submitted the best technical proposal for a 31-year public-private partnership (PPP) to achieve universal water and sewerage service coverage in the metropolitan region of Piauí state capital Teresina, according to the state's official gazette.
The concession is set to last 31 years and investments of some 1.7bn reais (US$526mn) are expected to be made.
Of the three proposals submitted in July, Consórcio Poti came in second. This is a three-party consortium formed by local companies Ecoaqua Soluções and Enorsul in a partnership with Indian firm Va Tech Wabag.
Local waterworks company Aguas do Brasil came in third, the gazette reported.
The state's partnerships and concessions department Suparc was due to assess offers and questions until October 5 and the second stage of the bidding process is now set to begin, which is the opening and evaluation of commercial proposals.
The tender will be based on the best canon payment offered and the winner should be announced by November, according to a Suparc release.
One of the goals of the of the PPP is to achieve 90% sewerage coverage in the city by 2031 before raising it to 100% by 2047, a target unlikely to be met by state water and sewerage company Agespisa as it does not have sufficient funding.
In 2015, potable water supply, sewage collection and sewage treatment coverage levels in the city were approximately 98%, 18% and 15%, respectively, according to the state government.
