A. Introduction
The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a Federal Corporation created under Title VI of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2004. Its mission is to provide assistance that will support economic growth and poverty reduction in carefully selected developing countries that demonstrate a commitment to just and democratic governance, economic freedom, and investments in their citizenry.
Compacts typically include the planning, design, construction, operations and maintenance of major infrastructure elements. Since its inception, MCC has developed and implemented many Compacts in various low and lower-middle income countries that included the planning, design, and construction of transport and vertical structure infrastructure.
The MCC requires professional services to provide advisory expertise to support Indonesia II compact development team (CDT) based in Jakarta focusing on assessing and developing investments in transport and logistics sector within the framework of Indonesia II compact.
Background
Infrastructure development in Indonesia faces challenges at both the supply and demand sides of financing. On the supply side, the problem is prompted by shallow, costly financial intermediation. On the demand side, the absence of financially viable infrastructure project pipelines, caused by weaknesses in project planning/prioritization combined with low readiness and poor delivery of projects, restricts the ability to absorb the existing supply of infrastructure financing, and to attract commercial sources of funding. Existing infrastructure financing practices by state-owned enterprises, commercial banks and weak involvement of institutional investors, lead to inefficient financing structures over the lifecycle of infrastructure assets, which dampens enthusiasm to invest and as a result restricts innovative types of financing from emerging.
Poor project preparation and lack of expertise to match the needs of different investors and the characteristics of projects are among the challenges on the demand side. Lack of such capacity has contributed to the scarcity of financially viable infrastructure projects. At the central government level, another problem relates to public investment framework that is not yet reflecting the best practice to leverage private financing. There is no clear criteria nor procedure governing the ways in which projects can be undertaken by a government unit through public procurement, or through which they can be assigned to SOEs or be offered to the private sector through a PPP scheme. The current public investment framework may also limit the number of financially viable infrastructure projects bid out to the private sector.
Given the above challenges, the demand side of the Concept Note as submitted by the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to the MCC for investment consideration as part of Indonesia II compact development focusing on the following three (3) interrelated elements namely:
i. Encouraging the use of blended finance and the development and application of de-risking instruments.
Activities under consideration include:
• Development of clear PIMG to improve the way in which public investments in infrastructure are incorporated into the budget during the planning process from the local to the national level. The PIMG will include references to the regulations and guidance regarding gender equality, social inclusion, women's economic empowerment, and citizen participation in the planning, design, and implementation of infrastructural development initiatives.
ii. Development of a Regional Project Development Facility (RPDF) Activities under consideration include:
• Creating a provincial-level Project Preparation Facility (PPF) to build capacity at the local government level, particularly with the Government Contracting Authorities (GCAs) responsible for project origination, development, and procurement strategy, while developing and preparing a pipeline of viable transport and logistics infrastructure projects. The anticipated "product" from such a PPF includes a streamlined and technically sound project identification and preparation process that is consistent with international best practices related to engineering, economic, financial, environmental, and social performance, and that guides project development through distinct stages of planning, preparation, transaction, construction and commercial operations resulting in viable projects which leverage bankable public-private partnerships (PPPs).
iii. Identification, development and implementation of demonstration transport and logistics infrastructure projects that can attract commercial capital.
Activities under consideration include:
• Identification, development and implementation of demonstration infrastructure projects could emerge from the sub-national or national level planning process. The demonstration project(s), at the minimum, must be technically feasible, demonstrate a minimum of 10 percent Economic Rate of Return, have mitigatable environmental impact, involve minimal land acquisition, benefit women and other vulnerable groups, is fully implementable within the 5-year compact period. The project(s) should clearly demonstrate the implementation of an innovative financing structure through the financing period; property ownership; financing credit basis; financing purposes; source of repayment;
guarantee; and degree of financing risk. Any projects should present minimal environmental and social challenges and have clear economic, financial, and social merits in their own right. The demonstration projects should also be implementable within the MCC compact's five-year period in terms of construction, and be officially handed over to the relevant sponsor/owner before the end of the compact term.
Focus on Transport and Logistic Sector
The impact of lagging transport and logistic infrastructure currently appears in a number of forms in Indonesia. Congested ports, underdeveloped inter-island and inter-area transport systems, and deteriorating road systems at the province and district level have led to expensive logistics costs. Logistics costs in Indonesia are estimated at about 14% of total production costs, much larger than the current 5% in Japan, the highest performing country surveyed. 2019 World Bank Logistics Performance Index (LPI) ranks Indonesia 51, (lower than Thailand at 34, and Malaysia at 35) but does better that the Philippines which is ranked at 64. A World Bank survey of logistics costs for manufacturers in five big cities in Indonesia, i.e. Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang (Java), Palembang (Sumatra), and Makassar (Sulawesi), suggested that the average total logistics cost is 20% of sales, broken down into 17% logistics administration, 26% inventory, 17% warehousing, and 40% percent transport and cargo handling. Congested and underdeveloped international ports also limit the efficient integration of Indonesia's manufacturing sector into international production networks. As a result, when a business cannot operate as efficiently as possible, its overall productivity is harmed. Therefore, the development bottleneck created from Indonesia's currently lagging infrastructure compromises the sustainability of medium- and long-term economic growth.
B. Overall Scope
MCC seeks an individual consultant to assist the CDT in Indonesia to undertake various assignments aimed at providing direct professional services to help coordinate identify, assess, and develop transport and logistics infrastructure demonstration projects for investment consideration by MCC under the Indonesia II compact. The scope of the consultant includes advising the CDT on various aspects of transport infrastructure planning, engineering, design, construction, operations, maintenance, finance, budgeting, policy, regulatory, as well as assess institutional framework, capacity building/ technical assistance (TA) interventions that may be considered/proposed as part of the MCC in the sector.

52.204-71 MCC 52.204-71 NOTICE OF MCC ELECTRONIC MAIL FILTERS (JUNE 2019)
Offerors and other interested parties are hereby notified that the Millennium Challenge Corporation utilizes electronic mail filters for security purposes that may block certain messages from unknown or suspicious senders and certain potentially malicious file types. As such, the following information and guidance is provided:
a) General Inquiries, Questions, and/or Submission of Quotes/Proposals. As unrecognized or unknown senders may be blocked by MCC's email security measures, Offerors and interested parties are advised of the following:
1. Offerors and interested parties must conform to any submission instructions included in this solicitation or notice, including referencing any solicitation or notice number(s) identified in the subject line of any communications regarding it to minimize the chance that the message will be identified as spam or as a suspicious message.
2. MCC considers Offerors and interested parties responsible for confirming with MCC personnel that messages containing such communications, including general inquiries about MCC solicitations, questions regarding MCC solicitations, and electronic submissions of quotes or proposals have been received.
3. As a general practice, MCC acknowledges receipt of inquiries about a solicitation, questions about a solicitation, or submission of quotes/proposals in writing, so if such an acknowledgement has not been received, then the offeror or interested party should contact MCC directly for confirmation of receipt.
4. This verification should be completed by contacting MCC personnel identified directly in this solicitation or notice regarding the inquiry, question, or quote/proposal via telephone number if a confirmation of receipt or acknowledgement is not returned by MCC personnel. As such, Offerors and interested parties, if submitting questions or quotes/proposals that are time-sensitive, must provide sufficient time to contact MCC and verify receipt prior to any quotation/proposal/question due date.
b) Blocked and Unacceptable File Types. Offerors and interested parties are advised that due to current cybersecurity threats, MCC currently blocks attachments containing extensions that run programs. These include any files that contain or are executables, macros, and other extensions that present a threat. As such the Offeror must not use any of these file extensions and remove all macros from Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel) or their inquiry, question, or quote/proposal will be blocked, preventing receipt of the message by MCC and potentially preventing the Offeror from being considered for award. The following are examples of file types that are blocked, however this list is not exhaustive or fully-inclusive as additional, similar file types may be blocked in the future:
.vbs (Microsoft visual basic scripting)
.vbe (VBScript Encoded Script File)

52.242-70 MCC 52.242-70 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT RATING SYSTEM
(CPARS) REGISTRATION (NOV 2019)
The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) utilizes the Contractor Performance Assessment Rating System (CPARS) to evaluate contractor performance (see FAR, Subparts 42.1502 and 42.1503). Contractors doing business with MCC are required to register in CPARS accessible via the Internet at: http://www.cpars.gov. An evaluation of contractor performance using the CPARS is mandatory for all contract actions exceeding the simplified threshold, but may be conducted for contract actions lower than that amount should significant events occur such as a contract termination or extraordinary contract performance by the contractor. Inquiries regarding the registration process should be addressed to the CPARS help desk.
The email address is WEBPTSMH@NAVY.MIL and the telephone number is (207) 438-1690. As part of this process, the contractor must determine who will serve as their CPARS "Contractor Representative" in the CPARS system. If, at any time, the contractor makes a determination that their CPARS Contractor Representative needs to change to a different individual, the contractor must contact MCC via email at the address CPARS@mcc.gov to notify MCC of the change so that appropriate action can be taken by MCC's CPARS Focal Points to ensure that the contractor receives timely notification of their evaluation. Failure to do so may result in the contractor not receiving their evaluation in a timely manner and may result in the contractor not receiving the opportunity to provide comments in response to MCC's evaluation. The email notification to CPARS@mcc.gov must contain the following information:
1. Name and email address of previous CPARS Contractor Representative
2. Name and email address of new CPARS Contractor Representative
3. Contract and order number (if applicable) of each affected contract that the contractor has with MCC.
MCC 52.232-74 ODC REIMBURSEMENT (JAN 2007)
Other Direct Charges (ODCs) will be reimbursed for direct costs as provided in the contract and/or task order. To be reimbursed, invoices including ODCs, must provide a detailed breakdown of the actual expenditures invoiced. The contractor shall maintain the original or legible copy of receipts for all ODCs invoiced. MCC reserves the right to request evidence of any ODC reimbursed. To assure timely reimbursement of ODC's, the contractor is strongly encouraged to submit charges within 45 days of the expense.
MCC 52.209-70 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: PRECLUSION FROM IMPLEMENTATION
CONTRACT (JULY 2012)

If a determination is made that the contractor is ineligible for implementation services, the MCC Managing Director of Contracts and Grants Management may authorize a waiver (in accordance with FAR 9.503) if the Director determines that preclusion of the Contractor from the implementation contract would not be in the Government's best interest.
