Due to the nature of the work, all firms submitting proposals must be fully registered with the Government of Thailand to provide the required services prior to the closing date. All firms submitting proposals must comply with Thai labor laws and practices, as well as providing proof of citizenship and work permits for non-Thai workers. All workers assigned to a contract awarded pursuant to this solicitation will be required to submit to a Royal Thai Police background check to ascertain suitability to work on this project. USAID/RDMA anticipates one award under this solicitation. Please note that the U.S. Government may award this contract without discussions and as such initial proposals should represent the best possible and most competitive terms available. The closing date and time, as well as other aspects of the RFP may be modified. All modifications to this RFP will be placed on the Government Point of Entry (GPE) which is at http://www.fbo.gov. Any amendments to this solicitation will be issued and posted through the GPE. While USAID/RDMA intends to place this RFP and the amendments on the USAID/RDMA Mission website, it is the GPE that is the official website for the RFP and all amendments. Any amendments will be mailed to all firms requesting copies of the RFP. USAID/RDMA is pursuing the accreditation of the commercial office space we are outfitting under the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) program entitled, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, found at http://www.usgbc.org/leed. The RFP contains an addendum that addresses the processes and documents that are required of the contractor to meet the requirements. To these ends, the specifications contained in this document will be modified to incorporate LEED requirements. USAID/RDMA expects to modify the RFP in mid-July to incorporate the LEED specifications. The due date for the submittal of proposals will be extended at this time to provide offerors ample time to review the changes, formulate any questions, and submit a proposal. The purpose of releasing this document prior to finalizing the LEED specifications is to allow firms to prepare and acquaint themselves with the requirements of LEED. Additionally, USAID/RDMA is in the final stages of negotiating the Athenee Tower lease and their “Fit Out Guide” that is included in the “List of Specifications and Drawings” will be updated in a modification to the RFP. It is anticipated that the changes to the Fit Out Guide will be completed in early July and will be issued at the same time that the changes to the specifications required of the LEED program are issued. Any firm wishing to visit the site prior to submitting a proposal for the work must contact the below listed Contracting Officer. Due to time constraints, all offerors who are selected for negotiations should be prepared to meet with USAID/RDMA within two calendar days after notification of a request for negotiations by USAID/RDMA. Currently, it is anticipated that this will occur approximately 14 calendar days after the closing date listed above. After negotiations, firms will be expected to submit their best and final offer within approximately 4 calendar days. The selected firm will be expected to mobilize and begin work within 10 calendar days after notification of award and being issued a notice to proceed by the Contracting Officer. During this 10 day period, all required bonds and insurance must be obtained and submitted to the Contracting Officer and other designated individuals. Due to the large size of the specifications, interested offerors must contact the following person to arrange a time to obtain a copy of the below “List of Specifications and Drawings” at the USAID/RDMA offices or to have it sent via mail to them: Kornpreeya Paoluglam, Procurement Specialist Regional Office of Procurement USAID/RDMA GPF Witthayu Tower A, 5th Floor 93/1 Wireless Road Bangkok 10330, Thailand kpaoluglam@usaid.gov List of Specifications and Drawings USAID New Office Space – Major Works - Interior Design (ID) 1.
