- Description
- POC: Evangela Kunene, USTDA, 1000 Wilson Blvd. Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901, Tel: (703) 875-4357, Fax: (703) 875-4009, email: ekunene@tda.gov. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE CONTRACTS OFFICE. PROPOSAL SUMBISSION PLACE: Ricardo Tapia Ruiz, Deputy General Director for New Projects, Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares, Av. 602 No. 161, Col. San Juan de Aragon, C.P. 15620, Mexico, DF, Mexico. Tel: 5255-5786-9708, fax: 5255-5786-9533, e-mail: ricardo.tapia@asa.gob.mx. The Grantee is soliciting technical proposals (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from qualified U.S. firms to provide expert consulting services to carry out a feasibility study for Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA) on the proposed Ciudad Obreg?n International Airport (COIA) Expansion project. ASA is the Mexican national airport operator. As part of the airport privatization process initiated in 1997, the Mexican government has awarded 50-year concessions for three regional groups of airports. ASA?s Corporate Network continues to operate the remaining 28 regional airports that were not included in the regional packages and ASA is involved in the operation of the Mexico City International Airport. ASA?s mission is to establish and develop business strategies that bring added value and to improve the level of services at Mexico?s 28 regional airports, which serve 2.02 million passengers, with 227,000 operations per year. To that end, ASA has identified several regional airports that represent significant commercial and regional development opportunities. ASA?s airport development model is based on a strategic alliance between the state government, ASA, and the private sector. The objective of this project is to assist ASA and local partners in increasing the cargo capacity at the COIA which in turn will lead to increased development in the region. The COIA currently lack the capacity for meeting the shipment needs for a number of producers of fishery products, canning products, and for industrial expansion in the area. Consequently, as envisioned by the project sponsors, there is a potential for maximizing the utility of the airport cargo expansion by including the construction of multi-modal transshipment facilities to the list of installation facilities to be added as part of this project. The improvements for which financing was requested include an airport cargo hub with runways, taxiways, warehouse facilities, chilling rooms, customs warehouse, maintenance and service station facilities, infrastructure for industrial and training facilities, hangars and roofed parking for private places, multi-modal terminal, and an industrial park. The estimated project cost is $99 million for the initial development phase and $199 million over a twenty-year development period. The expansion project will increase the trade capacity of the state of Sonora which supports more than 350 manufacturing plants and a broad-based agriculture and fishing industry. The Terms of Reference (TOR) for the improvement and expansion of the Ciudad Obreg?n International Airport should include the following tasks: Task 1: Inventory of Existing Conditions and Meetings Task 2: Aviation Demand Forecasts Task 3: Requirements Analysis and Concepts Development Task 4: Environmental Impact Analysis Task 5: Implementation Plan Task 6: Financial Analysis Task 7: Reporting The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $450,000 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 TOR, and a background definitional mission report are available from USTDA, at 1000 Wilson Blvd. 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.

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.

The Grantee is not bound to pay for any costs associated with the preparation and submission of Proposals.
