The proposed bank loan would finance the foreign currency cost of the procurement and installation (including cathodic protection) of high-pressure gas transmission pipelines, the construction of three compressor stations and additional low-pressure distribution facilities in certain urban areas. Telecommunication and automation equipment for the three new compressor stations, so as to allow their operation from the central control station at Lyallpur, and the provision of telecommunications facilities for the new pipeline extensions are also included. In addition, provision has been made in the loan to finance the foreign currency costs of engineering consultants to assist in the preparation of plans, specifications and bidding documents, and to supervise the construction of the project. Procurement for this project will be by international competitive bidding except for small civil works and miscellaneous equipment which would not attract bidders from abroad.
