- Description
- Combined Synopsis-Solicitation Number: M-OAA-EGAT-PEP-07-274 Issuance Date: January 23, 2007 Closing Date: September 18, 2007 Closing Time: 5:00 pm (local time) Subject: Amendment No. 4 to Combined Synopsis-Solicitation for Global Architect-Engineer Infrastructure Services 1. The purpose of this Amendment is to request the identification of all major subcontractors from among those subcontractors listed in the SF 330s that were submitted to USAID. The term 'major subcontractor' is defined as those subcontractors who will perform critical aspects of the architectural and engineering (A&E) work, or those that will perform at least 20% of the A&E-specific work in the proposal. 2. Offerors must submit identification of major subcontractors, or a statement that there are no major subcontractors, by 5:00pm local time on Tuesday, 18 September. Identifications or statements must be sent electronically to WHewitt@usaid.gov. eriod of Performance/Estimated Cost:?; the award of 3 IQC contracts is anticipated with a 5 year ceiling of $500 million, and the ceiling will not be divided amongst the contract holders. How will the selection process work for award of a single task order under the contract? Will each task order or assignment be competed for between the three firms based on fixed daily rates, or some other criteria? Response: See the response to question number 3. 51. Question: Will all Rate Schedules quoted for the work be based on $US dollars and daily rates for each individual category of engineer, architect, and support staff? Response: Yes. There will be a fixed daily rate schedule in the contract that will be in US dollars for each of the 35 disciplines. 52. Question: Where can we see a copy of the USAID Contract Document, terms and conditions related to Indemnification language and the Limitation of Liabilities associated with Architect-Engineer professional services work? Response: FAR Subpart 36.6 provides information regarding contractor liability/responsibility for design errors or deficiencies. No limitation of liability clauses are envisioned for this contract. In accordance with FAR Subpart 50.403, the USG provides indemnification to contractors only in situations where ?unusually hazardous or nuclear risks? are present. USAID does not intend to provide indemnification to contractors under this contract. 53. Question: The contract mentions that the contractor may be required to perform work may in disaster/conflict areas. Question: Putting disaster areas aside for the moment, does a conflict area include hostile and war-torn areas where the personal safety of our employees is an issue? Question: And if so, would the contractor have the option to turn down an assignment where the company feared for the safety of employees in that kind of situation. Response: The offerors should recognize that working in conflict/disaster prone areas is a major part of this statement of work. 54. Question: To receive credit for the 15% small and disadvantaged business concerns that perform work under the team, would that only apply to those who meet that criteria in the US, or could a company in a foreign country who was a team member count if they met the equivalent criteria in their country (thinking of South Africa or similar governments)? 55. Response: No. Non-U.S. team members can not count equivalent criteria in a foreign country. Foreign countries are not qualified as small businesses as defined by the Small Business Administration.
