1. Background
Koh Tao is a prominent island destination with limited land resources and an increasing volume of waste generated by residential, tourism, and commercial activities. To strengthen community-led waste management and promote sustainable reduction practices, the local Waste Bank requires a vertical waste compactor. This equipment is essential for optimizing systematic waste segregation, compression, and storage, thereby significantly improving transportation efficiency and reducing the environmental footprint on the island.
2. Objectives
The objectives of this procurement are:
– To acquire a vertical waste compactor specifically designed for operational use at the Koh Tao Waste Bank.
– To enhance storage and transportation efficiency by effectively reducing the volume of recyclable waste.
– To promote sustainable waste management practices through community-based and environmentally responsible initiatives.
– To strengthen the operational capacity of the Waste Bank, establishing it as a key community facility for waste management and environmental learning.
3. Scope of Work
The supplier shall be responsible for the comprehensive execution of this project, including the design, manufacture, and supply of the equipment, ensuring all components are suitable for high-humidity and saline environments. The scope covers the safe delivery and professional installation of the system at the specified site on Koh Tao, as well as commissioning and performance testing to verify full operational functionality and safety standards. Furthermore, the supplier must provide on-site operational guidance and training for designated personnel. This responsibility extends to a comprehensive twelve (12) months warranty covering all parts, components, and labor costs, effective from the date of final acceptance.
