- POC John Kusnierek, 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: The Director General Ghana Civil Aviation Authority Private Mail Bag Kotoka International Airport Accra, Ghana Phone: +233 21 776171 The Grantee, the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), 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 the Kotoka International Airport Air Traffic Control Center Project in Ghana. Ghana has experienced strong growth in air traffic over the past 10 years, with annual aircraft movements almost doubling since 2002, and has an extensive Flight Information Region (FIR) including the upper air space for Benin and Togo. The current Air Traffic Control Center (ATCC) at the country's primary international airport is overcrowded and poorly located. This feasibility study will provide GCAA with the specifications and location for the new facility as well as recommend the equipment needed to accommodate both near-term traffic and projected traffic over the next 15 years. Ghana's current ATCC, which falls under the responsibility of GCAA, is located in the tower building at ACC and is directly adjacent to the main passenger terminal. The ATCC space is very constrained, housing personnel for air traffic control for Ghana, Benin and Togo as well as emergency services. GCAA has determined that air traffic control and emergency services should be re-located to a new facility. GCAA's plans are for a facility with six air traffic control positions, which will allow for supervisory and training stations. Additionally, there will be facilities for an emergency rescue control center. The new ATCC will permit safer handling of Ghana's airspace, the adoption of the latest air traffic control technologies and a self-contained, more secure facility. The objective of this grant is to provide GCAA with an evaluation of its current assumptions and plans and propose specifications and location for the new facility as well as related equipment requirements. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $295,000 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 definitional mission 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/businessopps/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 directly to the Grantee by 5:00 p.m. local time, July 24, 2009 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.
