- Description
- Modification #1: Please note the following questions have been answered. Q. For the Key Personnel positions (as outlined on pages 67 and 68), can one expert fill multiple positions? A. It is up to each offeror to propose the best team to carry out the Terms of Reference, showing in their proposal the proposed team's expertise, education, skills, and experience. If one person can fulfill multiple positions without sacrificing the quality of analysis required by the TOR, it is up to the Offeror to make that determination. The offer should include the Offeror's organizational structure, management and key personnel. The Selection Criteria are indicated in the RFP and proposals will be ranked accordingly. Q. Could you please clarify the expected travel/trips as described on page 69? Please confirm if there is opportunity to modify the trip schedules and attendees to provide the best value to USTDA. A. It is up to each offeror to describe in their proposal their approach, work plan, and detailed schedule. The offer should describe proposed activities and tasks within the Work Plan, including staffing, meetings, periodic reporting or review points, interim delivery dates, and other project milestones. The Offeror is free to modify the trip schedules and attendees as long as there is no impact on the quality of the analysis required in the TOR. Q. Item 2.7 details that "USTDA grant funds shall not be used to pay any taxes, tariffs, duties, fees or other levies imposed under laws in effect in the Host country". How are air tickets, local taxes and local subcontractors that are legally obliged to pay local taxes? A. Please refer to Clause 12 of the Grant Agreement. "USTDA funds provided under this Grant Agreement shall not be used to pay any taxes, tariffs, duties, fees or other levies imposed under laws in effect in Host Country, except for taxes of a de minimis nature imposed on local lodging, food, transportation, or airport arrivals or departures." Q. The Final Report for this type of an analysis shall be quite lengthy. Could the RFP be modified so that only an Executive Summary shall be translated into Portuguese? A. The entire Final Report must be translated into Portuguese. This is a requirement that has been incorporated into the TOR and the Grant Agreement signed by both USTDA and the State of Minas Gerais.
