The TA will provide CAMC with recommendations regarding equipment, methods, and procedures consistent with industry best practices as CAMC strives to become Nigeria's first internationally accredited pediatric specialist facility. CAMC was established in Nigeria in 2007 by founder and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Ikwunga Wonodi, a Nigerian-American doctor currently practicing psychiatry in the U.S. CAMC's board of directors is comprised of Sir Patrick Sule Ugboma, Director of a Nigerian insurance company, who serves as Chairman of the Board, Dr. Adora Okogbule-Wonodi, a practicing pediatrician who serves as the Chief Medical Director, and Mr. Chukwuemeka Ndu, Managing Director of a Nigerian leasing company, who serves as Chief Financial Director. The Children's Hospital is envisioned as an 80 bed hospital which would feature a neonatal intensive care unit, biomedical research laboratory, teaching facilities, and a children's health outreach program. In addition to recommending equipment, practices and procedures, the USTDA-funded TA grant will assist CAMC in reaching out to prospective private-sector sponsors in the Lagos area who may be willing to fund the cost of treatment for patients who might not otherwise be able to afford medical care. The objective of the USTDA-funded TA is to assist CAMC in planning the hospital's clinical services, facilities and support infrastructure, personnel needs, medical equipment, information technology systems, and telemedicine equipment for remote diagnosis services. Following these consultations, the Contractor will also deliver a series of workshops in Lagos targeting U.S. companies in the health sector, financing entities, Nigerian Federal and Lagos State health officials, prospective donors and sponsors, owners of local private hospitals, and consumer groups. The workshops will serve to bring the project's stakeholders together to supplement the consultations and highlight opportunities for the further involvement of the Contractor, and other U.S. health sector companies in the Nigerian health sector. The Contractor's recommendations shall be consistent with the standards set forth by the Joint Commission for International Accreditation. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $289,000 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 an electronic copy of their Proposal in English directly to the Grantee by 5:00pm Local (Lagos) Time, on May 13, 2011 at the above e-mail 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.
