Work in this sector is included to anticipate possible needs, but does not represent a major work item at this time;
6. Design and implementation of Operations & Maintenance (O&M) programs and activities for infrastructure facilities in the West Bank; this may include servicing well-pump stations and replacing/upgrading faulty equipment such as pump motors and variable frequency drives; providing critically needed maintenance to water transmission and distribution infrastructure; developing and managing road repair units to transition to the PA, and providing any other O&M support needed for eventual transition to the Palestinian Authority, such as training and other capacity building efforts related to the O&M of facilities, in order to ensure that installed infrastructure can function reliably over its lifetime. This can include actual multi year O&M contracts for facilities in the West Bank.
7. USAID may identify needed procurements to support USAID objectives which shall be conducted by INP II IQC Contractors on a competitive basis. These may include the procurement of equipment including but not limited to construction heavy equipments, electrical, mechanical and any other equipment identified at a later stage by USAID.
