R -- GEODETIC AIRPORT SURVEYS IN LATIN AMERICA REGION POC POC Evangela Kunene, USTDA, 1621 N. Kent Street, Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22209-2131, Tel: (703) 875-4357, Fax: (703) 875-4009 The grantee invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from interested U.S. firms which are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to execute FAA and ICAO-compliant airport surveys referenced to WGS-84 at numerous international airports in Latin America. The total cost of the survey project is set at $285,000. The U.S. firm selected to perform the survey will be paid in U.S. dollars from a grant of $195,000 to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade Development Agency (TDA). In addition, the selected firm will be required to provide the remaining $90,000 in cost-sharing needed to perform the study. In addition, it is anticipated that most local lodging expenses will be covered by each respective Civil Aviation Authority, and the cost of airline flights will be covered by U.S. air carriers. A detailed Request for Proposals (RFP), which includes requirements for the Proposal, the Terms of Reference, and a background Desk Study report are available from the TDA contact listed above. Requests for the RFP should be made by fax, indicating your firm's name, contact person, address and telephone number, and the method you prefer for receiving the RFP: a) Regular mail; b) Overnight delivery service. Solicitors must supply the name of the courier service and their account number; or c) Pick-up at TDA offices. Allow one hour after faxing your request before scheduling the pick-up. Telephone requests will not be honored. Because of the large number of RFP requests, TDA 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 TDA. Only U.S. firms and individuals may bid on this TDA financed activity. Interested firms, their subcontractors and employees of all participants must qualify under TDA's nationality requirements as of the due date for submission of qualifications and proposals and, if selected to carry out the TDA-financed activity, must continue to meet such requirements throughout the duration of the TDA-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% of the TDA grant amount. Details of TDA's nationality requirements and mandatory contract clauses are also included in the RFP. Interested U.S. firms should submit their Proposal in both Spanish and English (two copies of each) directly to the Grantee in Panama by 4:00 PM, local time, on July 31, 1998 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 or all Proposals. The Grantee also reserves the right to contract with the selected firm for subsequent workrelated to the project. The Grantee is not bound to pay for any costs associated with the preparation and submission of Proposals. Posted 06/25/98 (0176)
