- Description
- This is a request for information (RFI). The RFI's purpose is to gain knowledge of contractor's capabilities and qualifications to perform the scope of services. The information acquired through this market research will be used to develop an acquisition strategy. The Corps of Engineers, Middle East District, intends to award a contract for a two-part project at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. Part one is the installation of a transformer and 11KV connecting line and obtaining Kahramaa certification of the work. Part two is obtaining Kahramaa certification for electrical work completed at the Blatchford-Preston Complex. The Qatar Air Force (QAF) mandates that all projects on Al Udeid Air Base must obtain Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) certification for electrical work. Kahramaa certification is an official Qatari agency approval similar to the construction approval or building permit in other countries. Kahramaa certification for electrical work includes high voltage (11 KV) and low voltage (415V) work. To ensure compliance with the QAF mandate the services of a Kahramaa approved grade A electrical contractor or consultant are required. Kahramaa approved grade A electrical contractors and consultants are potentially sources for these services. Qatar International Trading (QIT) is the electrical power provider at Al Udeid Air Base. Prospective sources may submit a capability statement. A written capability statement is requested within fifteen calendar days from the date of publication of this announcement. The statement and supporting documentation should explain why the source believes it can comply with the requirement. The statement and supporting documentation should not exceed five pages. Mail the statement to US Army Corps of Engineers, Middle East District, CETAM-CT-M, P.O. Box 2250, Winchester, VA 22604-1450 or email to richard.c.elder@usace.army.mil Scope of part one. Create a connection for a new transformer within an existing QIT substation near the CENTCOM Forward Headquarters. Install a new 1,000 KVA transformer at the Logistics Storage Warehouse site. Construct a 100-meter long 11KV connecting line from the QIT substation to the new transformer at the Logistics Storage Warehouse. All work must be performed by a Kahramaa certified grade A contractor and must be inspected and accepted by both Kahramaa and QIT. Scope of part two. Obtain a Services and Design Control Application and Kahramaa electrical certification for the Blatchford-Preston Complex, formerly known as the Millennium Village Facilities. The work involves a physical inspection of the electrical work at the 27 facilities of the Blatchford-Preston Complex for determining compliance with Kahramaa regulations; identify any deficiencies; prepare a report of the deficiencies; recommend a remedy for the deficiencies; obtain a final inspection and certification from Kahramaa. Disclaimer: This is an RFI for market research and planning purposes. This is not an invitation for bids or a request for proposals. A bidder's mailing list or planholders list will not be developed from replies to this announcement. The Government will not compensate sources for any costs incurred in developing and submitting a capability statement or the Government's use of such information. Information submitted in response to this announcement will not be returned. By accepting a capability statement, the Government is not under an obligation to provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted.
