Custom clearance to be done by the supplier. UNOPS will provide Tax Exemption Certificate. C. Term Of Reference Establishment of BSL-3 Laboratory in Taunggyi, Shan State, Myanmar Myanmar is one of the 22 TB high burden countries. Drug resistant TB is a problem. Multidrug resistant TBs-MDR (multidrug resistant –TB ) and XDR(extensively drug resistant –TB ) are life threatening. Early diagnose of these cases are important for specific treatment and halt spread of disease. In Myanmar there are only two BSL-3 Labs which can perform rapid diagnosis of TB, Culture and drug susceptibility testing (DST) for anti-TB drugs. Monitoring of MDRTB patients during treatment and confirmation of drug resistant to first and second line drugs can be performed only in BSL-3 Labs. Thus it is essential for the expansion of BSL-3 Labs in the country so that National TB Programme ( NTP ) can broaden the geographical and population coverage for programmatic management of DR-TB . Scope of the future BSL-3 laboratory system Objective The primary objective to install BSL-3 laboratory in Taunggyi is to improve the overall TB diagnosis (especially MDRTB diagnosis) at country and regional/state level. This will ease TB. Culture and MDR resistance detection capacity outside Yangon and Mandalay with the final objective to diagnose and to cure more patients suffering from TB and drug resistant TB. Advantages Once the additional BSL-3 laboratory is operating, it is expected that: - TB diagnostic capacity will be increased; - MDR-TB diagnostic capacity will be increased; - XDR-TB diagnostic capacity will be increased; - Access to diagnosis by patients will be enhanced and made easier; The terms of reference of the assignment are: 1) Installation of BSL-3 Laboratory at Shan State, Taunggyi in a newly constructed structure already existing. 2) To have (i) Constant electricity supply and low calcium content of running water for the laboratory. (ii) Specific implementation of negative pressure system(please refer to the detail Technical specification below Annex –D.1) (iii) Warranty- follow-up and maintenance of facility and equipment for 3 years 3) Fully equipped to be able to perform the following activities in descending priority order:- Solid culture, DST for first-line drugs, GeneXpert (4 module machine) Liquid culture and DST for first-line drugs, Line probe assay (LPA), DST for second-line drugs and molecular biology. For the infrastructure Wall and Floor: The surface of the wall and floor should be as smooth as possible. There should be no sharp angles but must be curved. The wall should have epoxy coat painting of 3 layers and floor 5 layers. The windows can have glass pane with aluminium borders and inner surface should have no layers or angles, this will prevent depositing of dust. At the ceiling, the fluorescent lamps will be embedded in the roof part, light coming into the room through clear glass. Doors : PCV should not be used. Half glass with wooden part below can also be used. No Locking doors: The doors inside the BSL-3 laboratory should not be locked or should not have locks in the handler. None of the doors inside the BSL-3 area require a locking system. Staff should be able to move in the laboratory easily. Eye wash station This is strongly recommended inside the laboratory. In case of eye projection, eyes should be washed as soon as possible. Small mobile and cheap eye wash stations can be placed at the corridor. Corridors Shelves can be embedded for shoes, laboratory coats Equipment required Please refer to the above Table I for detail requirement of the equipment List Technical There are many technical aspects to take into account while planning for BSL-3 laboratories. Please refer to the detail technical specification in below TABEL – II and Annex- D.1. Moreover, bidder has to be included below requirement; Meteorological and geographical conditions Meteorological conditions can be source of technical problems. Following needs to be addressed While implementing negative pressure system and air conditioning: - Direct climate: humidity / heat / heavy rain; - Dust can rapidly saturate the filter system; - Tropical storm (rapid environmental pressure variation can induce failure of pressure regulation system) and lightning; - Altitude (pressure variation versus sea level) which can impact on equipment and installation parameters. - Equipment delivery and maintenance - Delay for consumables and reagents provision - Language barrier for the training / discussion/ support Electricity and water supply needs BSL-3 facilities (and related equipment) are power hungry. Therefore, electrical power capacity and supply need to be planned and solved from the beginning. Power needs to be delivered on site in sufficient amounts and in a stable way (potential fluctuation needs to be counter balanced with a voltage regulator). A generator is required in case of power-cuts. Developments in these areas will likely need the support and intervention of local authorities to develop power infrastructure (to deliver stronger and more stable power to the sites). Water quality is an important aspect of the routine work and use of BSL-3 laboratories (for sterilization and for general system). The BSL-3 laboratory in Patheingyi (Mandalay) experienced troubles with water quality, because of its high calcium content. The same problem may occur in Taunggyi, if high calcium concentration is confirmed, additional water device will need to be installed (similar to Patheingyi). In the longer term, sites can also consider large water purification tank . Recommended pressures In order to allow proper functioning, the following pressures are recommended for each room in the laboratory: - Entry anteroom: +20 Pa - Molecular corridor: 0 Pa - Master mix room: +10 Pa - Amplification room: +5 Pa - Hybridization room: -5/-10 Pa - Sterilization room: -10 Pa - Dirty sas: -10 Pa - Incubator room: -20 Pa - Liquid culture room: -40 Pa It is very important to ensure a cascade of pressures that will respect the following: - Entry anteroom > sterilization room - Entry anteroom > molecular corridor - Master mix room > amplification room > hybridization room - Entry anteroom > dirty anteroom > Incubator room > liquid culture room General Recommendation Prepare strict terms of reference for laboratory facilities, in terms of quality (strong foundation, epoxy floor, needs and expectations) and including specificities related to work under negative and/or positive pressure; Maintenance The plan for both preventive and curative maintenance is crucial for such high-level laboratory. It relates to building and negative pressure system as well as equipment. Therefore, these three components need to be included into a regular maintenance plan. The supplier shall provide the maintenance plan. • To ensure regular control visits by supplier (once a year). The supplier needs to be rapidly available in case of problem (remote solution for minor problems and rapid onsite intervention for major problem); • To remain stand-bye for at least three years from the date of facility delivery in order to support any technical defect that may arise during the first years of use. In addition, for all sensitive equipment and installations (including biosafety cabinets, centrifuges, MGIT machines, thermocyclers, incubators, autoclaves, hot air ovens, GeneXpert machines, air conditioners), it is recommended to undertake regular maintenance, based on a maintenance plan. Equipment and installation The equipment shall be of best possible quality and according to technical Specifications.
