Description

17. Description USAID/Caucasus (Georgia) (hereinafter referred to as USAID) is seeking the technical expertise of an organization, a consortium or a partnership to implement a four year activity under the Mission's Strategic Objective (SO) No. 2.2 Legal Systems that Better Support Implementation of Democratic Processes and Market Reform. USAID anticipates the award of a Cost Plus Fixed Fee Completion type contract. A successful ROL activity will capitalize on potential synergies in the Mission's overall Strategy. Furthermore, the Contractor must be aware of ABA/CEELI tasks, since both ROL implementing partners will work towards achievement of the same IRs. While a range of substantive areas of law can be addressed, the tasks should focus on administrative, criminal and constitutional law. The Mission recognizes that legal reform activities usually have a long gestation period. Furthermore, the rule of law requires, not only a solid legal framework, but effective, transparent and fair legal sector institutions. Establishing and/or strengthening such institutions constitutes a long-term activity. Nevertheless, the Offeror should identify those tasks which will have the widest and most demonstrable impact for the average Georgian in the shortest possible period of time and facilitate implementation of the laws. The Contractor will also need to take into consideration the Mission's strategy, which focuses on decentralization. The preferred method of distribution of USAID procurement information is via the Internet or by request of a solicitation on a 3.5" floppy disk (WordPerfect 5.1/5.2 format).
