- Description
- The NATO Support Agency (NSPA) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the rehabilitation of the Herat runway to ensure present and future execution of assigned theatre-level critical capabilities and allow a smooth redeployment of troops and equipment from the ISAF western region through the Forward Support Base. The pavement rehabilitation/enhancement concerns Runway 18/36. The pavement will be strengthened by means of demolition of the existing surface asphalt concrete pavement and its replacement/reconstruction with a newly defined asphalt concrete pavement mix supported by a geo-fiber grid in order to increase and ensure the appropriate Pavement Classification Number (PCN) value. In order to bid on this project, a U.S. primary contractor must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) in the United States, 2) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), and 3) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government. It is anticipated that the project will be incorporated into one contract. It is envisioned that use of local sub-contractors and purchase of local raw materials (such as gravel and bitumen) will be permitted for this project. The U.S. Department of Commerce will be using IFB-2013-1AF27024-0 as its reference for the IFB. BIDDING PROCEDURE Before a U.S. firm can be nominated to the bidders list for this procurement, it must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. The U.S. Department of Commerce approves facilities that are located within the United States. U.S. firms can download a copy of the U.S. NATO ICB application from the following website: http://www.bis.doc.gov/defenseindustrialbaseprograms/OSIES/NATOprograms/index.htm The NATO ICB application is a one-time application. The application requires supporting documentation in the form of 1) a company resume and 2) an annual report or set of financial documents indicating compilation, review, or audit by an independent CPA.. The application and supporting documentation may be submitted as e-mail attachments. If, when submitting the application, your firm is interested in a specific NATO ICB project, please include the following in the text of your email: - the title and/or solicitation number of the project - the name/phone/FAX/email of the point of contact for the bid documents After approval of your one-time NATO ICB application, the Department of Commerce will then know to follow up by issuing a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) for that project. A DOE is used to nominate an approved firm to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. IMPORTANT DATES U.S. firms must request a DOE (and, for U.S. firms new to NATO ICB, submit the one-time NATO ICB application): 15 August 2013 NSPA has stated that "even if you have expressed an interest in this potential opportunity, NSPA has no obligation to contact your firm should this FBO result in an RFP. We therefore strongly encourage you to regularly consult the RFP website and to make sure you are registered in the NSPA source file." To register with the Source File, please see the NSPA procurement website: https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/EPROCUREMENT/default.aspx Planned tender release: 27 August 2013 Scheduled bid closing: 17 September 2013 Anticipated contract award: 30 September 2013
