Av. Las Condes 9792, Oficina 802 Comuna de Las Condes, Santiago Chile The Grantee (Empresa Eólica Tablaruca S.A.) invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from interested U.S. firms that are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to develop a feasibility study on the proposed 99 MW Tablaruca Wind Farm on Chiloé Island in Chile. Empresa Eólica Tablaruca S.A., a Chilean company, is pursuing the development, construction and operation of a 99 megawatts (MW) wind farm on uninhabited land on Chiloé Island. The wind farm is to be located on a 20,000 hectare (nearly 50,000 acre) plot on the island of Chiloé in the Los Lagos Region of Chile. The Grantee has commissioned a number of initial studies, including a wind resource assessment and data certification by GL Garrad Hassan, that have confirmed the wind resource potential of the site. The objective of this Feasibility Study is to determine the technical, economic, financial and environmental viability of a wind farm of approximately 99 MW on the Chilean island of Chiloé. The Study would also include the completion of a full environmental and social impact assessment that corresponds to the requirements of pertinent lenders and authorities, ancillary studies such as an interconnection study and an engineering study on site access and logistics, and a review of relevant regulatory matters. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $610,000 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency ("USTDA"). The Grantee would be responsible for the lease or purchase of the mast for wind measurement and other associated equipment as well as for operating and maintaining the wind data collection system over the course of the feasibility study. A detailed Request for Proposals (RFP), which includes requirements for the Proposal, the Terms of Reference, and portions of a background 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. The Grantee's cash contributions are not subject to USTDA's nationality provisions. Interested U.S. firms should submit their Proposal in English directly to the Grantee by 5 pm on June 20, 2013 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.
