Infrastructure plays a central and vital role in the well being and prosperity of USAID Countries and therefore it is imperative to understand that infrastructure and economic growth are inextricably and intrinsically linked. The ceiling of this IQC will be $500 million over a five year period of performance. BACKGROUND The EGAT, Office of Infrastructure and Engineering (EGAT/I&E) was formed for the purpose of rebuilding USAIDs internal engineering capacity. This office provides technical leadership and field support for the construction, installation, and effective use of critical economic infrastructure, specifically, that of water, roads, ports, electrical grids, and energy production and information/communication technologies. The EGAT/I&E team was designed to offer the following services to the Agency: First response engineering capabilities (both services and construction) in all infrastructure sectors for emergency /disaster response and for conflict, post-conflict, and failed state reconstruction and stabilization phases. On-demand engineering services to all USAID Bureaus and field missions to ensue effective design, management and oversight of all significant infrastructure projects in transformational development states; and Continue the vital education and training of USAID staff and host country counterparts on the role of infrastructure engineering in development, on value engineering, and on best engineering practices. OBJECTIVE The contractor may provide broad technical support and advice to participating host government entities and regulatory bodies in overall institutional and infrastructure development, including, but not limited to, policy, legal, regulatory, financial and commercial development and reform, turn-key design/construction and/or partial rehabilitation, and equipment and commodities provision, human resource development and training, operations and maintenance improvements and private sector participation. The assistance will be planned and implemented in coordination with other donors, local and expatriate universities, engineering societies, capacity building organizations, provincial and local government and community groups, and private and public enterprises as required. The contractor may be required to work in disaster/conflict areas where extensive overseas experience is required. Examples of the type of areas include: post-tsunami design work, hurricane recovery, earthquake damage, the effects of short-term man-made and natural disasters and long-term infrastructure deterioration. The contractor may be required to work in the following areas: construction surveillance; advice/guidance; pre-feasibility studies; feasibility studies; training of USAID staff; design work; and capacity building of host country/government firms. USAID has identified the following general subject areas that will be undertaken to meet objectives in each sector. A. Water Resources: These services will include, but not be limited to, the planning, design and training for water resource management, urban and rural water systems, wastewater treatment, drinking water disinfection, watershed management systems; alternative water treatment systems; drainage basins and irrigation systems, dams and storage reservoirs, flood control programs, and the exploration and development of groundwater resources; B. Environmental/Sanitary Engineering: These services will include, but not be limited to, planning, design, training, operation, management financing etc. of domestic and industrial water supply; water distribution systems, wastewater collection, treatment and disposal; wastewater recycling; materials reuse; coast line erosion and flood control, natural wells , storm water drainage; proper solid waste collection, recycle, and disposal; and operation and maintenance activities; C. Civil and Industrial Engineering: These services will include, but not be limited to, the manufacturing, processing, and waste treatment of sanitary and solid waste; the design of buildings and civil works structures such as roads, ports, railroads, and bridges; the building and support structure related to industrial parks and industrial clustering areas; supply chain management infrastructure design; waste/energy minimization strategies; the design of green buildings and sustainable construction; construction design concepts including materials/technology selection; pro-poor designs; site planning and management; designing construction and demolition techniques. D. Power and Telecommunications: These services will include but not be limited to the design of a power network from generation to distribution and the design of information communication technology; and the designs of power station systems burning oil, coal, natural gas, and nuclear power along with power generation from alternative sources i.e. wind, flowing water, hydropower, biofuels, solar, biogas, and other ??cleaner?? sources. E. Value Engineering, Engineering Economics, Institutional and Policy Reform: These services will include, but not be limited to, alternative financing, capacity building and training specific to the construction, rehabilitation and/or reconstruction of water, sanitary and solid waste management systems, IT systems; roads, shipping and transportation systems, power matrixes, tariff studies, cost recovery systems, and analysis of public- private partnerships; whole life cycling performance and costing; procurement needs; water concession design and tariff structure. STATEMENT OF WORK Under the terms and conditions of this IQC and resultant task orders, the Contractor shall, when directed by USAID, provide all services from project conception through close-out including the following partial listing of general subject activities: Categories/Major headings for A/E contracts: Investigations, studies, and assessments; Cost estimates; Preparation of projects for solicitation; Construction surveillance; Research analysis, development, design for construction, alternation, and repair of real property; Program management; Pre-design site assessment; Feasibility and concept studies; Space planning and programming; Design and design concepts/standards; Value engineering; Life cycle costing; Post design-shop drawing review; Surveys and mapping; Construction cost estimates; Construction inspection; Preparation of operational manuals; Fulfillment of environmental requirements; and Training of local engineers to operate equipment, respond to emergency , and construct according to standards.
