- POC Evangela Kunene, USTDA, 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901, Tel.: (703) 875-4357, Fax: (703) 875-4009; PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT CONTRACTS OFFICE. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION PLACE: Jos? Ch?vez, Gerente General, PERUPETRO S.A., Av. Luis Aldana 320, San Borja, Lima 41, Peru, Tel.: +51 (1) 617-1800 ext. 1100 and 1101, Fax: +51 (1) 617-1801. The Grantee invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from interested U.S. firms that are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to develop Technical Assistance to collect existing geochemical data and compile a single integrated database, as well as to design and develop maps that depict comprehensive petroleum systems in all eighteen (18) hydrocarbon-bearing sedimentary basins in Peru. The Technical Assistance will reinforce PERUPETRO S.A. initiatives to develop information tools that are needed by PERUPETRO S.A. and the private sector, and thereby support the efforts in Peru to increase both oil and gas production and foreign investment in the sector. The Technical Assistance will lead to the development of information tools that will enable PERUPETRO S.A. and the private sector to identify un-explored areas that represent the most promising prospects for private sector investments. The first part of the Technical Assistance focuses on the consolidation of geochemical data into a standardized and accessible database that will enable the making of geochemical maps for the entire territory of Peru. In turn, geochemical maps display surface and sub-surface evidence of hydrocarbons, which help to define the most promising areas for new exploration activities. The second part of the Technical Assistance will utilize geochemical, gravity, seismic, and magnetic data to define petroleum systems in the eighteen (18) hydrocarbon-bearing sedimentary basins located in Peru. Petroleum systems include source rocks, sub-surface oil and gas movements, trapping, and seeps that together support the identification of hydrocarbons reservoirs. By defining the location of petroleum systems, the risk involved in identifying the most promising areas of commercial interest is reduced. The Terms of Reference (TOR) for the Technical Assistance include the following tasks: 1) data selection in Peru; 2) geochemical database development; 3) definition of petroleum systems; 4) environmental impact review; 5) development impact assessment; and 6) presentation of results and final report. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $561,721 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 is 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 RFP's 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 mailroom 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 and Spanish directly to the Grantee by 4:00 PM (local time in Lima, Peru), July 1, 2005, 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.
