- Description
- The NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) intends to invite bids on the acquisition of civil works at Kabul Afghanistan International Airport (KAIA) North. Project implementation includes design development for basic force protection elements and road works, earth works, above ground concrete structures, power production and distribution, and internal and external utilities. Works will be executed at the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) compound - KAIA North. NAMSA is serving as the NATO procurement agency for this project, which is being funded within the framework of the Infrastructure Committee. NAMSA has been authorized to use the International Competitive Bidding (ICB) procedure. It is anticipated that this project will be incorporated into one contract. The rough cost estimate for this project is Euro 40 – 50 million. The U.S. Department of Commerce reference for the Invitation for Bid (IFB) is IFB-ISAF-CUR-304 and all correspondence concerning this IFB should reference this number. IMPORTANT: Classified information will be provided with the tender. The U.S. Government will nominate to the bidders list U.S. facilities that 1) have been approved for participation in NATO ICB, 2) have documented successful completion of similar projects as primary contractors, and 3) hold a current Facility Security Clearance (FCL). The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) forwards to the NATO contracting agency the NATO clearance certifications needed for performance of the contract. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION The project consist of earth and landscaping works; demolition and relocation of existing structures (roads and utilities); road works (asphalted surfaces); complete reinforced concrete building construction, including technical installations (heating, A/C, ventilation, electricity); power generators; power distribution; storm water drainage; sewage; water distribution; parking areas and hardstands. The contractor’s experience with the construction of reinforced concrete structures and roads in Afghanistan or Iraq is considered an essential requirement. BIDDING PROCEDURE Before a firm can be nominated to the bidders list for an ICB procurement, it must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. Only facilities located in NATO member nations may participate in NATO ICB. The U.S. Department of Commerce approves facilities that are located within the United States. U.S. firms will find a copy of the U.S. NATO ICB application at the following website: http://www.bis.doc.gov/defenseindustrialbaseprograms/OSIES/NATOprograms/index.htm The NATO ICB application is a one-time application. The application requires supporting documentation in the form of 1) a company resume and 2) an annual report or set of financial documents indicating compilation, review, or audit by an independent CPA. The application and supporting documentation may be submitted as e-mail attachments. If, when submitting the application, your firm is interested in a specific NATO ICB project, please include the following in the text of your email: - the title and/or solicitation number of the project - the name/phone/FAX/email of the point of contact for the bid documents Upon approval of your one-time NATO ICB application, the Department of Commerce will then know to follow up by issuing a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) for that project. A DOE is used to nominate an approved firm to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. Using the contact information indicated on the DOE, the NATO contracting agency will contact the firm when the IFB has been issued. IMPORTANT DEADLINES 1. Final date to request a DOE (and, for U.S. facilities not yet approved for NATO ICB, to submit a completed NATO ICB application): 27 January 2010 2. Anticipated IFB release date: 17 February 2010 3. Anticipated bid closing date: 20 April 2010 4. Anticipated contract award date: 05 May 2010
