Vladimir Gajdos, General Director, KH Tebis s.r.o.,Puskinska 641, 28401 Kutna Hora, Czech Republic, Phone: + 420-327-513-532, Fax: + 420-327-515-408. 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 develop a feasibility study for a biomass to energy co-generation power plant. KH Tebis plans to build and operate a central heat co-generation plant that uses biomass from municipal solid waste (MSW) as the feedstock. The plant will be fueled by biogas created in anaerobic digesters from MSW and other biomass. The proposed project will be composed of a bioreactor system, a micro-turbine, scrubbers, chillers, heat exchangers, and a control system. The anaerobic digesters will generate biogas from MSW and other biomass materials. The biogas will then be used to generate between 250 kW and 400 kW of electricity through use of a micro-turbine and between 400 kW and 800 kW of thermal energy. KH Tebis is a municipal heat utility that is owned by the Municipality of Kutna Hora and operates the Municipality?s heating plant. The objective of the feasibility study is to perform technical, environmental, economic and financial assessments of the project and to prepare a scope of work for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the project. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $160,900 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 a background report are available from USTDA, at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901. Requests for the RFP should 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, May 23, 2003 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.
