- Description
- The United State Government, seeking to achieve a comprehensive settlement of conflict and advance the prospect for peace in the Middle East, seeks to examine the options for a pragmatic, tangible and secure transportation between two geographically dispersed regions. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), in conjunction with the World Bank, will undertake a feasibility study of possible transportation links where the physical interconnection must meet stringent requirements to include security considerations. Toward this end, USAID West Bank and Gaza seeks the services of a U.S. firm for the professional engineering services required to complete this study. This study will address the feasibility, including economic viability, of various at grade and below grade alternatives and various alignments, a rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimate of each alternative, a study of projected transportation operation and maintenance costs, a study of issues that may affect construction such as environmental, archaeological, and cultural heritage issues, and time schedules for implementation. Optional work could include the preparation of conceptual design drawings and specifications, preparation of a statement of work, a detailed cost estimate, environmental impact assessment review according to applicable regulations, the preparation of solicitation documents for design-build contractors, and possible assistance during the request for proposal process. Firms interested in submitting their Architect-Engineering qualifications for this project are requested to forward a Standard Form 330 to Mr. Ron Breen, Unit 7228 Box 26, APO AE 09830 no later than 3:00 p.m. Jerusalem time, August 25, 2005.

SF 330s may also be submitted by e-mail to robreen@usaid.gov . All firms responding to this announcement will be evaluated on the following factors: (1) Specialized experience of the firm (including each member of joint venture or association) with the type of service required; (2) Capacity of the firm to perform the work (including any specialized services) within the time limitations; (3) Past record of performance on contracts with other Government agencies and private industry with respect to such factors as control of costs, quality of work, and ability to meet schedules, to the extent such information is available; (4) Ability to assign an adequate number of qualified key personnel from the organization, including a competent supervising representative having considerable experience in responsible positions on work of a similar nature; (5) The portions of the work the architect-engineer is able to perform with its own forces when required; (6) Ability of the architect-engineer to furnish or to obtain required materials and equipment; (7) Familiarity with the locality where the project is situated; (8) Financial capacity; (9) Responsibility of the architect-engineer under standards provided in FAR subpart 9.1; (10) Volume of work previously awarded to the firm by the Agency, with the object of effecting an equitable distribution of architect-engineer contracts among qualified firms. A firm fixed-price contract is contemplated for these services. The estimated contract period is September 2005 through May 2006.
