- POC: Evangela Kunene, USTDA, 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901, Tel: (703) 875-4357, Fax: (703) 875-4009. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT CONTRACTS OFFICE. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION PLACE: Mr. Zhong Zu Hua, Vice Chairman, Dalian Shide Group Co., Ltd., Shide Building, No. 38 Gaoerji Road, Xigang District, Dalian, The People?s Republic of China Phone: (86-411) 8364-2091, Fax: (86-411) 8367-3657, E-mail: Huazhong@mail.dlptt.ln.cn 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 on a large-scale joint-venture refinery and petrochemical complex in the Shuangdao Bay area in the northeastern region of China In the past decade, the Dalian Shide Group (DSG), located in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, has become a world-scale PVC converter. The company, founded in 1992 as a machinery engineering and construction company, is a growing regional conglomerate that specializes in the fabrication of chemical building materials, electrical appliances and other activities. Revenues in 2004 were approximately $2 billion. DSG has partnered with Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) for the implementation of this project. The potential captive off-take of its raw material needs and the co-production of other plastics and resins, will allow Dalian to secure some of its own raw material needs while at the same time open opportunities for further business diversification and expansion. As noted, DSG has teamed with the SABIC for this project. Since its establishment in 1976, SABIC has grown into a major international petrochemicals firm. In 2003, SABIC produced 42 million tons of petrochemicals, giving it revenues in excess of $12 billion. SABIC?s role, in addition to sharing development costs to date with DSG and provision of equity capital, is to provide the required crude oil feedstock and petrochemical production expertise. This project will be one of the largest refinery petrochemical projects in China and internationally. Given the current and forecasted explosive growth rate in the building materials market in China, the desire of Dalian to back integrate into petrochemical raw materials is viewed as a logical and rational strategy. The sponsors have presented Project Application Report (PAR) for the Shuangdao Bay refinery and petrochemical complex to the National Development and Reform Committee (NDRC). A key issue is to base economic analyses on individual product price forecasts and detailed analysis of the market supply and demand for both the domestic Chinese and regional international markets. Thus the purpose and objectives of the proposed study are to expand and refine the existing PAR to: a) Incorporate the best international technology into the design and implementation of the project; b) Develop Feasibility Study that is helpful to meet the new requirements of the NDRC approval process; c) Evaluate project economics and financing facing an increasingly competitive marketplace; and d) Develop a Feasibility Study consistent with the needs and requirements of targeted and potential international financing sources. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a US$871,673 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.
