BRIEF PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF GRANTEE USTDA approved funding for a feasibility study to develop the Phu Cuong 1 Wind Farm Project. Vietnam has seen a substantial increase in its electric power demands over the past decade as its economy continues to develop, and the country plans to accelerate wind power deployment. The Grantee is seeking to develop multiple, near-offshore wind power projects along the coastline in Soc Trang province. The Grantee has secured access to over 65 kilometers of the Soc Trang coastal area for wind energy development and has plans to develop a pipeline of near-offshore wind projects that could generate up to 2,000 MW. The first of these projects will be the 170 MW Phu Cuong 1 Wind Farm Project at the southern end of the Soc Trang coastline, which will provide electricity to local customers. This total Project would be implemented in three phases, with capacities of 30, 60, and 80 MW, respectively. Portions of a background Definitional Mission is provided for reference in Annex 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF STUDY COMPONENTS The focus of the feasibility study will be to perform a supplemental wind resource and energy assessment, water surveying and geotechnical work, an assessment of the permitting and land control issues, a logistics study, an electrical grid interconnection study and foundation design, a review of operational risks and issues, construction cost estimates and schedule, a preliminary assessment of the environmental and social impacts, an assessment of the potential developmental impacts, and a financing plan. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $807,000 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). A detailed Request for Proposals (RFP), which includes requirements for the Proposal, the Terms of Reference, and portions of a background definitional mission report are available from USTDA, at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901. To request the RFP in PDF format, please go to: https://www.ustda.gov/businessopps/rfpform.asp Requests for a mailed hardcopy version of the RFP may also be faxed to the IRC, USTDA at 703-875-4009. In the fax, please include your firm's name, contact person, address, and telephone number. Some firms have found that RFP materials sent by U.S. mail do not reach them in time for preparation of an adequate response. Firms that want USTDA to use an overnight delivery service should include the name of the delivery service and your firm's account number in the request for the RFP. Firms that want to send a courier to USTDA to retrieve the RFP should allow one hour after faxing the request to USTDA before scheduling a pick-up. Please note that no telephone requests for the RFP will be honored. Please check your internal fax verification receipt. Because of the large number of RFP requests, USTDA cannot respond to requests for fax verification. Requests for RFPs received before 4:00 PM will be mailed the same day. Requests received after 4:00 PM will be mailed the following day. Please check with your courier and/or mail room before calling USTDA. Only U.S. firms and individuals may bid on this USTDA financed activity. Interested firms, their subcontractors and employees of all participants must qualify under USTDA's nationality requirements as of the due date for submission of qualifications and proposals and, if selected to carry out the USTDA-financed activity, must continue to meet such requirements throughout the duration of the USTDA-financed activity. All goods and services to be provided by the selected firm shall have their nationality, source and origin in the U.S. or host country. The U.S. firm may use subcontractors from the host country for up to 20 percent of the USTDA grant amount. Details of USTDA's nationality requirements and mandatory contract clauses are also included in the RFP. Interested U.S. firms should submit their Proposal in English directly to the Grantee by 4:00 PM (local time), September 01, 2015, at the above address. Evaluation criteria for the Proposal are included in the RFP. Price will not be a factor in contractor selection, and therefore, cost proposals should NOT be submitted. The Grantee reserves the right to reject any and/or all Proposals. The Grantee also reserves the right to contract with the selected firm for subsequent work related to the project. The Grantee is not bound to pay for any costs associated with the preparation and submission of Proposals.
