Description

This notice hereby amends Submission No. 50M1F4 that was published in the CBD on May 17, 2001. The previous CBD notice stated a requirement by the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) for the design, fabrication, shipping, installation and testing of a 600 kW multi-tower medium wave (MW) broadcast antenna system in the country of Cyprus. The previous CBD notice is hereby revised as follows. The BBG has an urgent need to procure the services of a contractor to refurbish the existing three-tower antenna array and associated transmission line at the MW broadcasting station located at Cape Greco, Cyprus. Based on the BBG's urgent need to have broadcasting from this location commence by June 2002, this proposed procurement may include an "incentive" provision for completing the above-stated work in sufficient time to meet the June 2002 target date for commencement of broadcasting operations. To be considered by the BBG as a responsible offeror for this proposed procurement, interested firms shall have demonstrated experience in each of the following mandatory areas: (1) successful inspection and repair of guyed MW antenna towers that are at least 130 meters in height; (2) successful replacement of guy-cables which have static tensions of at least 25 metric tons; (3) successful fabrication and installation of guy-cables that are at least 42 millimeters in diameter; and (4) successful performance of antenna/tower work in high radiofrequency (RF) environments. The BBG intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation document for this proposed negotiated firm-fixed-price procurement on or about December 10, 2001, with a proposal response date of thirty (30) calendar days after the RFP issue date. Interested prospective offerors may request a copy of the forthcoming solicitation document (RFP) by submitting a written request for the RFP to the BBG Contracting Officer for this proposed procurement at the above-listed address. All written requests for a copy of the RFP for this proposed procurement shall include the above-stated solicitation number, company name, mailing address, point of contact, telephone number, and facsimile number. All responsible sources may submit a proposal in response to the forthcoming solicitation document, and all proposals shall be considered by the BBG. This public notice is not a RFP, IFB, or RFQ.
