- Description
- The NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) intends to advertise for International Competitive Bidding (ICB) on works and services within the framework of the Infrastructure Committee. Eligible firms will be invited to provide bids on the provision of force protection (FP) works at the East Gate Entry Control Point (ECP), Kabul International Airport (KAIA) in Afghanistan. The U.S. Government will nominate to the bidders list only those firms that 1) have been approved for participation in NATO ICB, 2) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, or warehouse) in the United States, and 2) have a current Secret level security clearance for that facility. Please note that it is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) forwards to NAMSA all required NATO clearance certifications. The estimated value of this project is Euro 4.0 million. The reference for this Invitation for International Bids (IFB) is IFB-CUR-ENG-164. The U.S. Department of Commerce will be using the same reference. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION The works will be executed at the southeast edge of Kabul International Airport (KAIA), which contains the East Gate ECP for the HQ ISAF compound. The work site is connected via asphalted road inside the protected perimeter. Project implementation includes earth works, road works, above-ground concrete structures, FP elements (vehicle barriers, fencing, etc.), and utilities. In particular, the works consists of earth and landscaping works, demolition of existing structures, road works (asphalted surfaces), complete building construction including technical installations (heating, air conditioning, ventilation, electricity), blast-proof structures, road barriers, power distribution, power generation, storm water drainage, and public lighting. An essential requirement is the contractor’s experience with the construction of FP facilities in Afghanistan or Iraq. The division of this project into different contracts/lots is not foreseen. BIDDING PROCEDURE Before a firm can be nominated to the bidders list for this 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 After 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 directly 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): 10 December 2010 2. Planned date for distribution of the IFIB package: 17 December 2010 3. Planned closing date for receipt of bids: 24 January 2011 4. Planned contract award date: 07 February 2011
