- Synopsis This is a pre-solicitation notice ( synopsis) for a full and open competitive procurement. The Federal Highway A d m inistration (FHWA) in tends to issue a solicitation for m u ltiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for "Build America Bureau Market Demand Advisory Services." The objective of this procurement is to contract for economic and market demand advisory services in the surface transportation infrastructure finance area to support the activities of the Build America Bureau. The Build America Bureau, an office within the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of the Under Secretary for Policy, has a requirement for non-personal financial advisory services in the transportation infrastructure project finance area to support its activities and programs. The Bureau administers the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) credit program and the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) credit program. TIFIA and RRIF, the Credit Programs, provide (secured) direct loans, loan guarantees, and standby lines of credit to borrowers seeking to develop major surface transportation projects, railroad projects, port projects and transit-oriented development projects. Further information about the Credit Programs can be found at: https://www.transportation.gov/buildamerica. Typically, the Bureau retains external market advisors for projects seeking credit assistance using a revenue pledge that is subject to market risk. Such revenue pledges typically include toll revenues, fare box revenues, freight revenues, port charges, sales taxes, and real estate sales, rentals or taxes. Therefore, the Bureau has a need for economic and market demand advisors with expertise in one or more of the following sectors: Sector 1: Toll revenue forecasting; Sector 2: Transit or passenger rail revenue forecasting; Sector 3: Freight revenue forecasting; Sector 4: Port revenue forecasting (bulk, container as well as special purpose terminals); Sector 5: Sales tax forecasting; Sector 6: Real estate revenue forecasting (through sales, rentals or real estate taxes). Additionally, the Bureau has a need for market risk advisory services for larger portfolio management matters (e.g., large amendments, reevaluations), as well as for other large projects (e.g., training of Bureau staff). The Contractor shall furnish the full range of solutions and services necessary to meet requirements of this contract and individual task orders. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary labor, materials, facilities, and supervision to perform all professional, non-personal services necessary to support the Bureau. For any sector, specific work to be performed will be set forth under individual task orders in one or more of the following areas.: •· Credit Analysis •· Collateral Appraisal •· Financial Modeling •· Financial Structuring / Negotiating •· Creditworthiness Reporting •· Portfolio Management O•· Thiis planned solicitation, is intended to result in a m u ltiple award IDIQ contract. The NAICS Code for this effort is 541690. The planned multiple award IDIQ contracts will include a five-year ordering period with a total ordering ceiling value of $3.75 Million for all task orders issued against all contracts. Task Orders awarded under this multiple award IDIQ will fall into one of the following two categories: (1) At Cost to the Government: "At Cost" TOs will be issued by the Federal Government and funded with Federal funds. (2) No Cost to the Government: "No Cost" TOs will be issued by the Federal Government with $0 funding (i.e., no Federal funds). The applicant for credit assistance (or its affiliate) will directly make payment to the Contractor for services rendered in accordance with the terms of a sponsor payment letter/agreement executed by the applicant (or its affiliate) and the Contractor. No Cost task orders, which will be paid by non-governmental entities, will not count against the IDIQ ordering ceiling value. The Government anticipates that the solicitation will include six award tracks that correspond to the six sectors listed above. This synopsis is not a request for proposals (RFP).
