CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR IMPROVEMENT OF
INFRASTRUCTURE AT KAMEMBE AIRPORT
I. BACKGROUND
1.1. Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority
Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority (RCAA) is a Rwandan Government Entity established by Law No.
21/2004 of 10/08/2004 and governed by Law No. 53/2011 of 14 December 2011 as amended up to
date.
RCAA has a legal personality, administrative and financial autonomy and it is governed in accordance
with laws governing organs of public service in Rwanda.
Main activities of RCAA include but not limited to:
Supervising and organization of air transport;
Management and operation of airports;
Airspace management and surveillance ; and
Establishing relations and collaborating with other agencies of the same attributions at regional
and international level.
1.2. Kamembe Airport and the Great Lakes Trade Facilitation Project
Kamembe airport is located in Ruzizi District, Western Province, about 5km southwest of Cyangugu
city which lies at the southern end of Lake Kivu. Kamembe is connected by a 170km long road from
Kigali. The existing Airport is located near Kamembe at approximately 2km from Kivu Lake and the
border of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and about 5km from Kamembe town.
The existing airfield has 1500m x 45m flexible (asphalt) runway and oriented in 02-20 direction. The
runway at present is open to VFR operations only. RWY 20 for Landings and RWY 02 for Take off are
recommended at Kamembe airport.
Kamembe airport has great potential, with passenger traffic growing at an average of 15 percent per
annum between 2006 and 2013, and at an average of 18 percent between 2010 and 2015.
The airport movement area has recently undergone rehabilitation of the 60 year old runway by fully
restructuring the pavement up to the subgrade layer.
Under the Great Lakes Trade Facilitation Project (GLTFP), it was found to be of paramount importance
to upgrade other airport facilities including navigational aids and communication equipment and
weather equipment, aeronautical ground lighting, airport perimeter fencing and lighting and a transit
cargo facility.
The GLTFP is a project approved to be funded by the World Bank with the main objective to facilitate
cross-border trade by increasing the capacity for commerce and reducing the costs faced by traders,
especially small-scale and women traders, at targeted locations in the borderlands. “Capacity for
commerce” in the context of this project is defined as the capacity of core trade infrastructure, in
particular, the airport at Kamembe, border markets, and border facilities, to handle an increased flow of
goods, services, and people, and the capacity of government agencies at the border to provide high

quality and efficient services.
II. PROJECT ELEMENTS AND THE SCOPE OF CONSULTANCY SERVICES
Several interventions are proposed to improve operating conditions at Kamembe airport. After full
resurfacing of the movement area, RCAA has an objective to make further improvements at Kamembe
airport and these include:
1. installation of aeronautical ground lighting (AGL),
2. navigational aids (VOR/DME),
3. Automatic Weather Observation System (AWOS),
4. Digital-Aeronautical Information Management (D-AIM),
5. ATS Message Handling System (AMHS),
6. put in place RNAV SIDs and STARs Procedures for Kamembe,
7. conducting WGS-84 survey,
8. construction and lighting of airport perimeter fence
9. construction of a transit cargo and baggage storage warehouse.
The scope of service for the consultant firm shall include designs, preparation of tender documents and
subsequent supervision as outlined in the following paragraphs.
The main improvements are categorized in the following project elements for which the scope of
consultancy service are also briefly described:
a) Aeronautical Ground Lighting (AGL) - As per ICAO standards, for providing ILS Cat‐1
lighting, a length of 900 m of land is required. However, as the terrain conditions are not
favorable to provide the full length of runway lighting, a feasible length of approach lighting
will be determined by the Consultant through a design study, for Approach 20 which is
predominantly used for landings. The approach lights are to be provided over high mast lattice
structure complying with the ICAO requirements of frangibility.
The consultant shall carry out all necessary assessments and studies to produce a detailed design
for installation of new AGL at Kamembe airport and subsequent supervision as outlined in the
following paragraphs.
The design would include as deliverables; AGL layout details, pavement details where affected,
transformer pits, and all other civil works associated with the installations.
The scope of consultancy would also include assessment of existing primary power supply,
identifying required improvements and carrying out detail design for the provision of a
secondary power supply that allows the minimum switchover time that meets relevant ICAO
requirements. This would also include design of a new fully functional power station, related
cable trenches and cabling to supply the newly installed airfield facilities and the entire airport.
If required, electrical substations should also be designed. The design should allow for spare
cable ducts for power and data to take into consideration future airports expansion.
The consultant shall carry out all necessary studies to produce a detailed design for installation
of new AGL and power supply control and monitoring systems with the related fiber networks.
b) Navigational Aids - Due to the physical dimension of Kamembe airport, it is not suited to a full
Category 1 instrument landing system (ILS). However, the dimensions and distances allow for
non-precision approaches and for the airport to pass relevant ICAO standards. As such, a
3 of 14
coupled GNSS and DVOR/DME approach is proposed for descent guidance, and simple
DVOR/DME approaches to allow older aircraft in the region, without GPS systems on board,
to perform non-precision landings.
The Consultant shall carry out the feasibility and detailed design (including developing technical
specifications) for supply and installation of DVOR/DME including;
DVOR/DME positioning on ground and full civil works, electrical and electronic
installation details.
Power connections, electrical protection and stabilization.
Equipment power supply and backup system
Remote control connectivity (wired and radio based networks) from remote site to
Control Tower, technical room and maintenance office. The remote control shall cater
for both DVOR/DME and power (main and backup)
Network within technical room, maintenance office, tower, MET Office as well as
related civil works.
Maintenance office (remote control location) and system room for main racks.
Power and data networks cabling and all related civil works from the equipment to the
buildings as necessary - ATC tower, maintenance office, technical room
To carry out the flight check of the installed DVOR/DME and designed Area
Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) and Standard Terminal
Arrival Route Charts (STARS)
Supervision of the installation as well as the Flight check of all flight procedures.
Initiate the amendment of the Rwanda Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) to
capture all the changes made to the existing information.
Flight check and commissioning.
c) World Geodetic System (WGS)-84 Survey – For purpose of providing accurate aerodrome
data to the users, it is RCAA principle to carry out WGS-84 surveys for all airports in Rwanda
and update relevant data in the Aeronautical Information Publication. Under these terms of
reference, the Consultant shall in compliance with ICAO provisions carry out WGS-84 survey
at Kamembe, Kigali and Gisenyi airports to update among others the following information;
