- Description
- The U.S. Department of State, with support from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Caribbean Regional Office, is seeking qualified offerors for the Construction of a National Reference Laboratory in Bridgetown, Barbados. Construction of the laboratory is in support of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the National AIDS Program of the Government of Barbados (GOB). An important component of this support is the strengthening of the health system of Barbados through expansion and renovation of health care facilities, to increase the capacity to deliver essential HIV-related services. Upon completion of the facility, Barbados will serve as the Regional Reference Laboratory for the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). Construction of the facility will enable the GOB to amalgamate three of its four public health laboratories into a single facility, which will create more space and improve laboratory safety. Amalgamation of public health laboratories will also enhance the quality and range of laboratory tests now offered, especially those related to the diagnosis of HIV and monitoring for PLHIV. The facility will be two floors with an approximate combined area of 17,000 sq. ft., and will include administrative offices, training functions, laboratories, and laboratory support functions. The facility will include Biosafety (BSL) Level 3 capabilities, housing the following departments: Hematology, Serology, Molecular Biology, TB, Bacteriology, Chemical Pathology, and Quality Assurance. The resulting contract type will be firm fixed-price, with an estimated magnitude of construction between $5,000,000.00 and $10,000,000.00 (U.S.). The anticipated performance period is sixteen (16) months from contract execution to substantial completion. Obtaining the solicitation: The solicitation will be available for download from FedBizOpps - website: http://www.fbo.gov. All notifications of changes to this solicitation will be made through the Internet only (via FedBizOpps). It is the responsibility of prospective offerors to check for any posted changes to the solicitation. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be available for download via the FedBizOpps website before the end of October 2014. NO solicitation documents will be mailed, faxed or emailed to prospective offerors. Proposals will be accepted from both U.S. and non-U.S. firms. NO PHONE CALLS WILL BE ACCEPTED. ONLY WRITTEN QUESTIONS (PREFERABLY BY E-MAIL) WILL BE CONSIDERED.
