REHABILITATION OF SAHAT AL AIN IN SALT
(W-1D-004-B)

The Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Urban Development Project (CHTUDP), and intends to apply part of the proceeds toward payments under the contract for SALT SAHA PROJECT.
This invitation for bids follows the General Procurement Notice for this project that appeared in United Nations Development Business and World Bank DgMarket on April 28, 2008.
The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MoTA) now invites sealed bids from eligible qualified bidders for the construction and redevelopment of a major urban space (Sahat Al Ain) in the middle of the Historic City of Salt, created by the demolition of three public buildings. The mixed-use public space will be dedicated to social encounters, leisure and entertainment, while also enhancing the cityscape of the historic city center. The vertical drop in the cross section will be treated by smoothing up the concavity of its edges; a mosque façade will be scaled down by introducing a curved arcade following the trace of the Saha’s oval shape. The mosque façade will be remodeled and claded with the local golden stone in fine stone details. The southern side of the Saha will be reshaped by adding stepping terraced buildings attached to the reinforced concrete retaining wall in the same geometrical character of the traditional Salti architecture creating similar smooth concaved cross section as in the Saha southern side. The central old deciduous tree and the other two evergreen trees in the middle of the lower part of Saha will be kept. The project includes also reconstruction, completion and maintenance of roads in the center of As-Salt city with 1.0 km length and all incidental works.
