Moreira Diretor da Plataforma Logistica de Comércio Exterior Subsecretaria de Assuntos Internacionais Secretaria de Estado de Desenvolvimento Econômico Rua Rio de Janeiro, 471 - 16º andar 31160-040 Belo Horizonte, MG Brazil Phone: (55-31) 3270 9370 The Grantee 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 develop a technical assistance for the Tancredo Neves International Airport - TNIA Network Master Plan project for the State of Minas Gerais Transport and Economic Development Secretariat. The State of Minas Gerais has a land mass that exceeds that of France and is the third largest economy in Brazil. The State also accounts for 10% of total Brazilian GDP. It has a diversified economy including mining, tourism, automotives, and agriculture. The Tancredo Neves International Airport (TNIA), which serves Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais, plays an integral part in the economic development of the region. In 2007, TNIA handled 4.3 million passengers and 55,491 flights (up from10,650 in 2004), making it the seventh busiest airport for passenger traffic in Brazil. While demand for airport capacity has steadily increased, there has not been a major expansion or update to the Master Plan for TNIA since 1985. As there are plans to invest $1.3 billion in capital expenditures over the next eight years, the Economic Development Secretariat requested USTDA assistance in updating the Master Plan to both guide and validate the expansion. Among the broad objectives of the Master Plan are: • A demand-capacity analysis to assess development requirements based on projected air traffic demand; • A financial plan to finance the proposed improvements; and • An evaluation of environmental and developmental impacts associated with recommended projects. On a more detailed level, the Master Plan will analyze forecasted passenger and cargo growth, address the extension of the current runway and the construction of a new runway, address upgrades to the existing passenger terminal and the construction of a second terminal, assess capital improvements to the cargo facility including installation of improved cold storage facilities. An important element of the Master Plan update is the market analysis that will address the required investment in air cargo and related facilities to support the anticipated increase in economic activity at TNIA. The Terms of Reference will address the market analysis and will also include a task dedicated to making strategic recommendations for public-private partnerships, or some form of tradicional outsourcing contract. The Master Plan will serve as an investment promotion tool to attract private sector participation and create a roadmap of development for any potential future private partner. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $573,000 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). A detailed Request for Proposals (RFP), which includes requirements for the Proposal, the Terms of Reference, and a background definitional mission report are available from USTDA, at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901. To request the RFP in PDF format, please go to: https://www.ustda.gov/businessopps/rfpform.asp Requests for a mailed hardcopy version of the RFP may also be faxed to the IRC, USTDA at 703-875-4009. In the fax, please include your firm's name, contact person, address, and telephone number. Some firms have found that RFP materials sent by U.S. mail do not reach them in time for preparation of an adequate response. Firms that want USTDA to use an overnight delivery service should include the name of the delivery service and your firm's account number in the request for the RFP. Firms that want to send a courier to USTDA to retrieve the RFP should allow one hour after faxing the request to USTDA before scheduling a pick-up. Please note that no telephone requests for the RFP will be honored. Please check your internal fax verification receipt. Because of the large number of RFP requests, USTDA cannot respond to requests for fax verification. Requests for RFPs received before 4:00 PM will be mailed the same day. Requests received after 4:00 PM will be mailed the following day. Please check with your courier and/or mail room before calling USTDA. Only U.S. firms and individuals may bid on this USTDA financed activity. Interested firms, their subcontractors and employees of all participants must qualify under USTDA's nationality requirements as of the due date for submission of qualifications and proposals and, if selected to carry out the USTDA-financed activity, must continue to meet such requirements throughout the duration of the USTDA-financed activity. All goods and services to be provided by the selected firm shall have their nationality, source and origin in the U.S. or host country. The U.S. firm may use subcontractors from the host country for up to 20 percent of the USTDA grant amount. Details of USTDA's nationality requirements and mandatory contract clauses are also included in the RFP. Interested U.S. firms should submit their Proposal in English and Portuguese directly to the Grantee by 4:00pm (local time), November 10, 2009 at the above address. Evaluation criteria for the Proposal are included in the RFP. Price will not be a factor in contractor selection, and therefore, cost proposals should NOT be submitted. The Grantee reserves the right to reject any and/or all Proposals. The Grantee also reserves the right to contract with the selected firm for subsequent work related to the project. The Grantee is not bound to pay for any costs associated with the preparation and submission of Proposals.
