POC Evangela Kunene, USTDA, 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901, Tel: (703) 875-4357, Fax: (703) 875-4009. Slovnaft Incinerator Upgrade Project. 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 the ugrade of incinerators at Slovnaft. This study would assist Slovnaft in making a strategic decision on how best to deal with their aging incinerators, provide detailed upgrade/replacement solutions and outline a detailed strategy for complying with environmental standards. Slovnaft, a.s., is the major downstream oil and petrochemical company in Slovakia. Slovnaft processes crude oil into a range of petroleum and petrochemical products, is the largest marketer of petroleum products in the country, and enjoys a significant wholesale and retail presence in surrounding countries. Currently, Slovnaft operates three incinerators for processing solid and sludge waste, including hazardous waste, at its refinery and petrochemical complex in Bratislava. The incinerators at Slovnaft are 20 to 30 years old and equipped with outdated and insufficient pollution control equipment that does not meet existing regulations for waste incinerators. Noncompliance risks suspension of operations, which makes this project (the continuation of Slovnaft's operations) crucial. The proposed project will reduce emissions of hazardous gases and other potential contamination and will help Slovnaft comply with new, stricter environmental regulations. The project will enable Slovnaft to dispose of the industrial and solid waste it generates in an environmentally sound manner. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $250,000 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 a background definitional mission report are available from USTDA, at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901. Requests for the RFP should be faxed to the IRC, USTDA at 703-875-4009. 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 U.S. firm may use subcontractors from the host country for up to 20 percent of the USTDA grant amount. Details of USTDA'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 PM, March 7, 2003 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.
