The state utility commission in Tijuana, Baja California, Comisión Estatal de

American Development Bank (BDAN), through its EPA-funded Border

the costs associated with the Wastewater Collections System Rehabilitation and
Improvements Project in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
Tijuana is located in the state of Baja California and borders San Diego County,
California, to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Its population was
estimated at 1,210,820 in 2000 and is expected to reach 2’484,731 by 2020.
The project consists of the rehabilitation of interceptors, collectors and sanitary
sewer lines that are currently operating in poor conditions. The project was
certified by the Border Environment Cooperation Commission (BECC) on
October 16, 2001.
The total estimated cost of the project is US$42 million. The project sponsor,
CESPT, requested about US$18 million in BEIF funds from NADB and loans
totaling approximately US$6 million to be disbursed during the first phase of the
project.
Specifically, the project entails rehabilitating 36 sewer systems, 7 collectors, 6
trunk lines and 1 interceptor, stretching 131,000 meters with pipes ranging from
20 - 122 cm. in diameter.

consistent with NADB Procurement Policies and Procedures. Participation in
these bidding processes will be open to companies from any country.
