Overview
The Government of Liberia, through the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority, is seeking a qualified consultant firm or consortium for the geotechnical investigations and studies needed for the design of the Mesurado Industrial Fishing Port.

Scope of Work
The Government of Liberia through NaFAA is soliciting the services of a qualified Consultant Firm or Consultant Consortia to conduct geotechnical investigations and studies for the design of the Mesurado Industrial Fishing Port.

The geotechnical investigation shall likely comprise:
- CANOE HUB - 4 boreholes drilled over the outer slope of the lee breakwater to a depth of 20 metres below LAT level.
