- Description
- Proposal Submission Place: Luis Julian Zuluaga Lopez Operations Manager Organismo Coordinador del Sistema Eléctrico Nacional Interconectado Calle 3 # 3 Arroyo Hondo Primero Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic Telephone: 809-732-9330 The Grantee invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from interested U.S. firms that are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to provide Technical Assistance on smart grid and other potential technology upgrades in the Dominican Republic. The objective of the technical assistance is to determine the appropriate level of new smart grid and other technology upgrades needed in the Dominican Republic as well as to assess how best to integrate them into the national grid. The technical assistance will evaluate a series of technologies to improve reliability, lower frequency regulation service costs, allow for real-time monitoring and control and enable greater adoption of renewable energy. The Grantee is the Coordinating Organization of the National Interconnected Electrical System of the Dominican Republic (Organismo Coordinador del Sistema Eléctrico Nacional Interconectado, OC-SENI). At present there are 18 members of the nonprofit organization that is OC-SENI, comprised of generation and distribution companies and the national transmission company. OC-SENI has initiated system upgrades to implement supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) to approximately 40 percent of its system and requires further technical assistance to proceed with additional upgrades. The technical assistance will also assess the similar needs of all of the Dominican Republic's major generation, transmission and distribution agents. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $573,215 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 portions of a background definitional mission/desk study report are available from USTDA, at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901.

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 Grantee is not bound to pay for any costs associated with the preparation and submission of Proposals.
