- VEHICLES STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) 1. GENERAL There is a need of twenty-four (24) new vehicles model 2017 /2018 (eight minivans; eight SUVs and eight pickups “brand-name or equal”) for the Government of Mexico (GOM) to expand Federal Police (FP) Sensitive Investigative Unit (SIU) operations and investigations using the most updated equipment to conduct tactical operations, as part of their investigations into narcotics, illegal weapons, precursors, bulk cash, illegal aliens, contraband, and terrorist breaches. 2. SCOPE Mexico's growing crisis with the illicit drug and weapons trade, and overall transnational crime with associated growing violence, has made it a high priority for the U.S. and Mexico to equip Mexican law enforcement institutions with the latest equipment and training in order to curb these criminal acts in a timely and safe manner. 3. OBJECTIVE With new vehicle donations, the SIU will be able to operate covertly, transport requisite equipment and conduct surveillance more effectively. The requested vehicles will assist the SIU in abating the increasing violence and dismantling the criminal organizations. The contractor shall deliver: eight (8) Chrysler Town & Country Minivans or equivalent; eight (8) Jeep Patriot Limited SUVs or equivalent and eight (8) Chevrolet Silverado 2500 or equivalent vehicles. Contractor shall provide two (2) years of full warranty for each of the requested commencing upon the donation date. The contractor shall also provide technical support, transportation, documentation and all miscellaneous requirements necessary to accomplish the efforts described in this (SOW). It must be ensured that the request meets with the minimum specifications listed in the Technical Requirements (EXHIBIT A, B and C) of this SOW. 4. CONTRACT REQUERIMENTS The contractor’s documentation shall include a detailed coverage proposal, the process for requesting and providing warranty services, and all applicable manufacturer/distributor contact information in Spanish language. 5. DELIVERABLES Time is of essence. The contractor shall ensure meeting the delivery time expected to be 60 days after notification of award contract. If delivery time is not completed during this time frame, the contractor shall include a 10% discount on the final invoice. The contractor will submit delivery plans to the INL COR, Program Officer and Logistics two 2 weeks prior to deliver from acceptance. Contractor shall consider storage of the vehicles within their facilities, for up to four months due to the GOM receiving procedures. Contractor shall pay all costs in bringing the goods to the final destination, in Mexico City, as well as unloading. Contactor shall confirm using a vehicle platform to deliver the goods within PF facilities, in Mexico City, or else offer the best way of delivery to be approved by logistics. The vehicles described shall be procured in Mexico. All shipping documents and other delivery information shall be submitted after award to the POC that INL Receiving will provide. The contractor must comply with all applicable International, U.S., and Mexican Regulations. 6. WARRANTIES The contractor shall provide 2 year warranty applicable in Mexico, meaning that vehicles will be used in Mexican Territory; therefore they will be donated and registered in Mexico under the name of Government of Mexico (GOM), regardless the vehicle’s origin and / o country of purchase. This warranty shall commence on the date of the donation letter and shall include the following: BUMPER TO BUMPER: Defect related to materials or workmanship for repair, replacement and adjustments of any part to include engine, transmission, electric system, cooling system, brake system, steering and suspension. CORROSION PERFORATION: Includes replacement of sheet metal body, doors, hood, trunk lid, fenders, bumpers, hoppers, moldings, handles and hinges. PARTS OR CMPONENTS REPLACED: Must have a warranty of 1 year from the date of replacement. BATTERY: Must have a warranty to cover 100% the first year, 75% for the second year, and 25% for the third year. 7. VAT RECLAMATION The contractor shall follow the invoicing procedures established by INL to allow the US Embassy Mexico to reclaim the IVA/VAT taxes charged. 7.1. All purchases made in Mexico are subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) and must be paid by the Contractor. VAT or “IVA” as it is known in Mexico must be itemized in all invoices. Before the Contractor may impose and collect VAT on its “tax-relief invoices,” the Contractor is required to obtain a VAT Registration Identification Number from the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (aka Hacienda). The contractor will provide the necessary invoicing to enable the USG to obtain reimbursement for VAT. This tax relief benefit is extended only to the U.S. Government – not the Contractor – a as a diplomatic privilege. The current tax-relief invoicing requirements are outlined in the paragraphs below. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract, in the event the Government of Mexico revises the requirements, the Contractor shall follow the new requirements as soon as the Contractor is notified in writing of the new requirements by the COR and the Contracting Officer. 7.2. The Contractor is responsible for providing the following list of items on every “tax-relief” invoice presented to the U.S. Government for payments associated with the in-country purchases of goods, materials or services required to perform this contract. Every invoice the Contractor delivers to the U.S. Government must be an original. The failure of the Contractor to follow these procedures will result in the U.S. Government’s inability to secure tax relief on this project, resulting in reimbursement being denied to the contractor. Invoices for the in-country purchases described above must not include other charges, such as “work completed” or design costs. Such invoices will list separately or collectively the pre-tax price of any supplies or services provided in country. As is required by local authorities, the Contractor will impose the appropriate tax rate against the pre-tax total of the purchases represented on the tax-relief invoice. The Contractor will submit the invoices associated with such purchases as supporting documentation for its in-country payment request. The USG will only compensate the Contractor for the tax amount provided on such invoices. Excluded from reimbursement: VAT on items such as contractor personnel housing, personal vehicles, utilities, phone charges, per diem, etc. 7.3. THE CONTRACTOR’S TAX-RELIEF INVOICES SHALL PROVIDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING: a. Contractor’s name and address. b. Contractor’s Federal Tax Registry Number (R.F.C.) (aka Certificate of Fiscal Identification). c. Photo image of Federal Tax Registry card (aka Certificate of Fiscal Identification) on the invoice. d.
