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: Marcos Fontoura de Oliveira, Diretor de Acao Regional e Operacao, DRO, Empresa de Transportes e Transito de Belo Horizonte SA, Av. Eng. Carlos Goulart, 900, Buritis, Belo Horizonte, MG CEP 30.455-700 Brazil, Phone: +55(31)3379-5743 BELO HORIZONTE INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PROJECT. The Grantee 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 for an Integrated Traffic Information Management System( ITIMS) for Belo Horizonte's Traffic and Transportation Company (Empresa de Transportes e Transito de Belo Horizonte SA, BHTRANS). The feasibility study would review the application of an ITIMS for the integration of all traffic management operations within the city. BHTRANS is looking to integrate all of the information generated by its various departments and operations in one central database that would include a GIS based system. The ITIMS envisioned by BHTRANS would include the automation of all field operations handled by the field operations and emergency teams by way of hand-held computers to register the field information and quickly transfer that information by wireless communications to the intelligent traffic control system center. Once all the field information is received in the central control, then the information would be available for use within the entire BHTRANS organization allowing users to benefit from the most up to date traffic information. Traffic information could then be displayed and posted on a web site for the benefit of the public. BHTRANS would like to explore the potential of marketing and selling the available traffic information to the public, similar to what is done by some private companies in the U.S. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $294,000 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 Terms of Reference, and a background desk study report are available from USTDA, at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901. To request the RFP in PDF format, please go to: https://www.ustda.gov/USTDA/FedBizOpps/RFP/rfpform.asp Requests for a mailed hardcopy version of the RFP may also 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 and Portuguese directly to the Grantee by 1:00pm (local time), April 22, 2008 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.
