Southern Kyrgyzstan Transmission Upgrade Feasibility Study Project. The National Electrical Grid of Kyrgyzstan JSC (NEGK) 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 to rehabilitate and strengthen the transmission grid in southern Kyrgyzstan. Southern Kyrgyzstan requires transmission upgrades in the form of new lines and a substation in order to eliminate overloading and avoid high power transmission costs from Uzbekistan. The state-owned NEGK, which is the monopoly electrical transmission company in Kyrgyzstan and is responsible for all transmission with voltages of 110 kV and above, is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP). NEGK requested the Feasibility Study to review routing alternatives and major risk and cost factors; assess the condition of existing equipment and transmission lines; refine the Project concept including line routing and load flow analysis; undertake a preliminary environmental impact assessment; prepare a detailed cost estimate; and determine the estimated development impact of the project. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $186,130 grant to the Ministry of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). A detailed RFP, which includes requirements for the Proposal, the Terms of Reference, and a background definitional mission 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 NEGK by 3:00 PM, May 19, 2006 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. NEGK reserves the right to reject any and/or all Proposals. NEGK also reserves the right to contract with the selected firm for subsequent work related to the project. NEGK is not bound to pay for any costs associated with the preparation and submission of Proposals.
