The Grantee (Airports of Mozambique or "ADM"), invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from interested U.S. firms which are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to assist ADM in determining the requirements of expanding and upgrading either the Nacala or Pemba airports. The Feasibility Study will focus on market forecasts and technical, financial and legal viability of the project. The project will provide important development impacts, including the transfer of advanced technology and training of airport staff, and will open new opportunities to U.S. suppliers. This Feasibility Study was recommended to U.S. Trade and Development Agency as part of a Regional Definitional Mission for Aviation Sector Projects in Southern Africa (USTDA #2006-11020A) conducted by Travis Design Associates. The Feasibility Study will assist ADM to determine the requirements of expanding and upgrading one of the two Airports (Pemba or Nacala) and the impact of that possible expansion on a third airport at Vilankulos. ADM, an autonomous and financially-independent company under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, has placed the highest priority on the rehabilitation of the country?s airports to foster tourism and economic development in the region.
