- Description
- The NATO Support Agency (NSPA) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the construction of an Operational Connecting Road at Forward Support Base (FSB) Herat in Afghanistan. The scope of the project includes design/build construction of an approximately 400 m road connecting the MTF Role 2E with the MEDEVAC apron at FSB Herat. The road will be 6 m wide with 1 m shoulders on both sides. Works will include: survey and laboratory testing for design development; development of 100% design; site preparation to include excavation, backfilling, grading and compaction; rigid or flexible pavement (base and wearing layers); drainage works; 4 adjacent gates on both sides; marking and signage. It is anticipated that this project will be incorporated into one contract. It is envisioned that use of local subcontractors and purchase of local raw materials will be permitted for this project. In order to bid on this project, a U.S. primary contractor must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) in the United States, 2) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), and 3) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Department of Commerce will be using IFB-1AF27002-0 as its reference for the IFB. BIDDING PROCEDURE NATO ICB requires that the U.S. Government nominate U.S. prime contractors to the bidders list. Before the U.S. Government can nominate a U.S. prime contractor to the bidders list for this procurement, the firm must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. The NATO ICB application is a one-time application. The application requires supporting documentation in the form of 1) a company resume indicating contracts completed as a prime contractor and 2) an annual report or set of financial documents indicating compilation, review, or audit by an independent CPA. U.S. firms can download a copy of the U.S. NATO ICB application from the following website: http://www.bis.doc.gov/defenseindustrialbaseprograms/OSIES/NATOprograms/index.htm 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 prime contractor to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. IMPORTANT DATES U.S. firms must request a DOE (and, for U.S. firms new to NATO ICB, submit the one-time NATO ICB application) by: 11 September 2013 Planned release of IFB: 18 September 2013 Scheduled bid closing: 09 October 2013 Anticipated contract award: October 2013
