There are two basic types of commercial leasing arrangements: capital leasing and operating leasing. A capital lease is a contract that allows the lessor, as owner, to retain ownership of an asset while transferring the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. In contrast, an operating lease is essentially a rental contract for the temporary use of an asset by the lessee. An operating lease is commonly used to acquire equipment on a relatively short-term basis, such as heavy machinery or airplanes. Despite an economy dependent on industries using heavy equipment, Mongolia does not have an operating leasing law and is constrained by laws and regulations that deal with other types of leasing. As a result, operating leasing requires higher risk premiums and other costs due to the possibility of redress and repossession. This TA would address these concerns and provide a draft operating leasing law to the Ministry of Finance based on best practices and the experiences of other countries. The result would be increased use of operating leasing as a financing vehicle. The TOR for this project will include the following summarized tasks: Task 1: Legal Context and Research Task 2: Research Commercial Context and Interactions with Private Sector Interests Task 3: Develop Draft Operating Leasing Law and System for Managing New Legal Framework Task 4: Economic Analysis Task 5: Regulatory Analysis and Implementation Arrangements Task 6: Development Impact Analysis Task 7: Preliminary Environmental Analysis Task 8: Final Report The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $248,117 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/desk study report are available from USTDA, at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901. To request the RFP in PDF format, please go to: https://www.ustda.gov/businessopps/rfpform.asp Requests for a mailed hardcopy version of the RFP may also be faxed to the IRC, USTDA at 703-875-4009. In the fax, please include your firm's name, contact person, address, and telephone number. Some firms have found that RFP materials sent by U.S. mail do not reach them in time for preparation of an adequate response. Firms that want USTDA to use an overnight delivery service should include the name of the delivery service and your firm's account number in the request for the RFP. Firms that want to send a courier to USTDA to retrieve the RFP should allow one hour after faxing the request to USTDA before scheduling a pick-up. Please note that no telephone requests for the RFP will be honored. Please check your internal fax verification receipt. Because of the large number of RFP requests, USTDA cannot respond to requests for fax verification. Requests for RFPs received before 4:00 PM will be mailed the same day. Requests received after 4:00 PM will be mailed the following day. Please check with your courier and/or mail room before calling USTDA. Only U.S. firms and individuals may bid on this USTDA financed activity. Interested firms, their subcontractors and employees of all participants must qualify under USTDA's nationality requirements as of the due date for submission of qualifications and proposals and, if selected to carry out the USTDA-financed activity, must continue to meet such requirements throughout the duration of the USTDA-financed activity. All goods and services to be provided by the selected firm shall have their nationality, source and origin in the U.S. or host country. The U.S. firm may use subcontractors from the host country for up to 20 percent of the USTDA grant amount. Details of USTDA's nationality requirements and mandatory contract clauses are also included in the RFP. Interested U.S. firms should submit their Proposal in English directly to the Grantee by 12 noon, November 16, 2010 at the above address. Evaluation criteria for the Proposal are included in the RFP. Price will not be a factor in contractor selection, and therefore, cost proposals should NOT be submitted. The Grantee reserves the right to reject any and/or all Proposals. The Grantee also reserves the right to contract with the selected firm for subsequent work related to the project. The Grantee is not bound to pay for any costs associated with the preparation and submission of Proposals.
