CALL FOR PROCUREMENT Green Sidewalks in Zavidovići: Building a Climate-Resilient Urban Core

19. 11. 2025.

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in Bosnia and Herzegovina, within the framework of the project Green Agenda: Climate Change Adaptation in the Western Balkans – WB Adapt, plans to implement a procedure for the selection of the most favorable bidder for the procurement of paving slabs intended for use in permeable (water-infiltrating) pavement systems for  for “green” sidewalks in Zavidovići, aimed at supporting the development of the city’s climate-resilient urban core.

The project’s intention is to support the City of Zavidovići with the procurement of blocks/slabs, while the construction works and surface preparation with water infiltration will be implemented by the City of Zavidovići. The procurement and installation of permeable blocks for green sidewalks represent an important climate change adaptation measure and contribute to strengthening the climate resilience of the City of Zavidovići. This activity enables better infiltration of stormwater into the soil, reduces surface runoff and the risk of urban flooding. At the same time, permeable materials contribute to the preservation of the natural water cycle and the improvement of the microclimate in central urban areas.

The installation of blocks/slabs is part of a broader project implemented by the City of Zavidovići, which aims to reconstruct the urban core and improve sustainable urban mobility. The project plans to convert an existing two-way street into a one-way street, build a two-way bicycle lane, install urban furniture, and green public areas to help reduce the urban heat island effect. Together, these measures contribute to creating a safer, more functional, and climate-resilient urban space, in line with the principles of sustainable urban development and climate change adaptation.
