- Description
- The purpose of this Amendment #1 is to post questions and answers related to this procurement. Question 1.

Generators should be consigned to USAID/CDC, American Embassy, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Question 2. Is there a facility in the city in which we can store the equipment as it staged for installation?

Some exchangeable spare parts will be OK. Question 4. Will contractor need to provide all transportation while in country of will USAID facilitate? Answer: It is responsibility of the contractor.
