1.
Background
Christian Commission for Development in
Bangladesh (CCDB) is a non-governmental organization working since 1972 with an
aim for just and caring society. CCDB aims to establish an "International
Climate Change Training and Capacity Building Centre" in partnership with
the Bread for the World (BftW). This Centre is expected to serve as a platform
for knowledge sharing, South-South exchange and building networks between
researchers and practitioners to move towards a climate resilient future. As
the first step, a "Climate Technology Park" will be established at
Sreepur, Gazipur, which will demonstrate viable climate resilient and climate
smart concepts and solutions encompassing agriculture, energy and natural
resources. The Technology Park
is expected to operate with other satellite centers located in different
climate hot spots of the country. The Climate Technology Park Project starts in
2016.
The site selected for Climate Technology Park
is situated in the north-eastern part of Telihati union of Sreepur upazila
(sub-district) under the jurisdiction of Gazipur district. The local name of
the site area is Uttar Pelaid falling in the northern part of Uttar Pelaid
mouza of the said union. The site is bordered on the north by rice field, on
the east by forest, on the south and also on the west by rice fields and
settlements. The site is located between 24°16´ 5´´ and 24°16´32´´ north
latitudes and between 90°27´ 14´´ and 90°27´ 27´´ east longitudes. The Climate Technology Park is about 5 km
from the Dhaka – Mymensingh highway. The site occupies an area coverage of
about 20.67 ha excluding the two internal community roads passing through the
plots of the site. The size of the area is around 50 acres.
The site will be used to showcase climate
change adaptation and mitigation technologies as demos. As part of the process, the climate technology
park at Gazipur, Sreepur is gradually commencing its planned interventions since
March 2016. The purpose of the Climate Technology Park, Gazipur, Sreepur is to
establish a knowledge hub on climate technologies for local and global
audience. Each of the technologies will inform about technicalities, local
acceptance, usability, feasibility of the technologies, environment friendly
aspects of the technologies. The landscape of the technology park would
comprise of a number of water bodies to show water related technologies,
agricultural lands to demonstrate agro-based technologies and interventions,
forest cover with fruit bearing, woody and medicinal trees and renewable energy
technology models like wind turbine, solar powered irrigation system and
micro-hydro. The park would demonstrate
a number of housing models suitable for flood prone, drought prone and coastal
areas. To support the operation, there would be gradual developments of office
facilities, training center facilities, visitor center facilities, walkways,
lighting and accommodation facilities for training participants and staff.
To develop the CCDB climate technology park
gradually in a planned manner, CCDB requires consultancy services for landscape
master planning and preliminary architectural design of some of the planned
structures with indicative cost estimates.
2.
Objective
The objectives of consultancy services is to

ideas in relation to accommodating office facilities, training center
facilities, visitor center facilities, walkways, lighting and accommodation
facilities for training participants and staff. In this regard, the consultancy
services would also offer preliminary architectural design of few structures
like visitor center, small cottages, lighting, walkways which can be developed

short-term. To communicate the entire plan to external stakeholders, 3-D
architectural master plan animation as well as miniature 3-D model of the
climate technology park would be developed by the consultant.
