875-4009. South Africa -- High Temperature Hazardous Waste Incinerator
Feasibility Study. The Grantee 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 a commercial
application of high-temperature, rotary kiln technology for the
reduction of South African waste and mitigation of environmental
hazards associated with landfilling. Peacock Bay Environmental Services
Limited (PBES) is a South African environmental services firm which is
developing a project for the commercial application of
high-temperature rotary kiln technology to provide South African
waste-generating firms and waste collection companies with an
environmentally and economically preferred method of waste disposal.
The project will include significant work at identifying an optimum
site for the proposed facility, as well as outreach with government and
the community. The following are the principal tasks to be addressed in
the study: 1) analysis of technical issues; 2) review of commercial
issues; 3) assessment of regulatory issues; 4) environmental analysis;
5) financial analysis; and 6) conceptual design, proposed equipment
and service lists. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars
from a $343,500 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and
Development Agency (TDA) for this study. This does not include $143,500
in cost-sharing or in-kind contributions to be supplied by the selected
U.S. firm for the completion of the terms of reference, which are
estimated to cost $487,000 total. A detailed Request for Proposals
(RFP), which includes requirements for the Proposal, the Terms of
Reference, and a background desk study report are available from TDA,
at 1621 N. Kent Street, Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22209-2131. Requests
for the RFP should be faxed to the IRC, TDA at 703-875-4009. In the
fax, please include your firms 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 TDA 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 TDA to
retrieve the RFP should allow one hour after faxing the request to TDA
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, TDA
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 TDA. Only U.S. firms and
individuals may bid on this TDA financed activity. Interested firms,
their subcontractors and employees of all participants must qualify
under TDA's nationality requirements as of the due date for submission
of qualifications and proposals and, if selected to carry out the
TDA-financed activity, must continue to meet such requirements
throughout the duration of the TDA-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 TDA grant amount. Details of TDA'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 4:00, by Monday, February 8, 1999, 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. Posted 12/01/98
