B.1 SERVICES TO BE PROVDED

The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) requires a contractor to perform, transport planning reform consultancy services. These due diligence and preparatory services will result in the need for a local consultant, that is based in Indonesia, to provide critical information that are essential for projects under due diligence. The services would include consultations with provincial, district and municipal level stakeholders as well as field investigations that the MCC team has been unable to conduct.

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the tasks as defined in Section C of the Statement of Work.

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting MCC's operations and as of this solicitation posting, the extent of the impact is not yet fully known.

Due to this uncertainty, various aspects of the requirement terms may change (e.g., period of performance). Should changes be necessary, the Government will determine whether they are material and whether to engage in communications with offerors.

This may lead to revisions in certain terms of this requirement in order to ensure tasks can proceed safely. In particular, activities involving international and/or domestic travel may be delayed and/or modified. MCC will only approve the start of fieldwork under this requirement once the target country relaxes social distancing and removes travel-related restrictions.

When in-country work begins, the contractor will be expected to take precautions to protect their staff, enumerators, respondents, and other stakeholders from COVID-19 exposure. This can include using face masks, checking enumerator temperatures daily before going out in the field, and considering the possibility of phone interviews rather than in-person interviews. Should any delays be necessary due to COVID-19, the contractor shall inform MCC as soon as possible to discuss the best course of action.

Section C STATEMENT OF WORK, Indonesia Project Analysis

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. MCC's mission is to reduce poverty around the world through the promotion of sustainable economic growth based on the principle that aid is most effective when it strengthens good governance, economic freedom and investments in people.

MCC requires professional services to provide context-appropriate technical advice and expertise to support the selection of geographic and sectoral areas of focus for potential investments in Indonesia.

B. Program and Project Overview

On December 11, 2018, MCC's Board of Directors selected Indonesia as eligible to develop a second compact program. MCC compacts are large, five (5) year grants to implement custom-designed programs that spur economic growth in the partner country by holistically addressing the root causes of poverty in that country. MCC's first compact program with Indonesia was a $600 million program that ended in April 2018 and focused on procurement reform, maternal and infant nutrition and green growth.

MCC's compact programs are developed with partner countries over the course of several years, and MCC's work with Indonesia on the second compact program is currently in the early stages. The compact development process is data-driven and iterative, moving through the following five (5) distinct phases For more on MCC's approach to compact development, see https://www.mcc.gov/resources/doc/guidance-compact-development-guidance.:

• Preliminary Analysis. In this phase, the country in partnership with MCC undertakes broad consultations with stakeholders and conducts an analysis of the constraints to economic growth in that country. The phase ends with the development of a Constraints Analysis that outlines the binding constraints to growth in the country.

• Problem Diagnosis. In this phase, the country in partnership with MCC defines problems and conducts an analysis of the root causes of the identified binding constraints. The phase ends with the development of Concept Notes that identify the core root causes and what opportunities may exist to address the root causes.

• Project Definition. In this phase, the country in partnership with MCC defines and scopes specific projects, identifies investments and activities, and builds the actual program logic for the proposed compact program. The phase ends with the development of Project Proposals that detail the specific projects that comprise the compact program, and how they might meet MCC's investment criteria.

• Project Development. In this phase, the country in partnership with MCC launches public procurements, conducts feasibility, environmental and other studies, identifies beneficiaries from the projects and calculate the probable economic impact from the projects. The phase ends with the development of an Investment Memorandum that details the proposed compact program and discusses the manner in which the proposed program accomplishes the overarching objectives in the country while also meeting MCC investment criteria.

• Negotiation. This is the final stage, during which the compact is negotiated with the partner country's government, the compact is finalized, submitted for approval by both the country and MCC, and signed.

After an MCC Compact is signed, the country sets up a local entity that is staffed by local professionals to manage and oversee all aspects of implementation, using MCC's grant money.

C. Current Status of Compact Development

The MCC compact development team prepared and presented the Project Proposal Assessment Memo (PPAM) and presented it to the MCC Investment Management Committee (IMC) on September 23, 2021. Full due diligence and project development is currently underway. Terms of References (TORs) for the Compact Development Funded (CDF) design and studies are underway. The march for preparing the Investment Memo (IM) has started and projected to be completed in June of 2022.

https://www.mcc.gov/resources/doc/guidance-compact-development-guidance

The PPAM supports the project objectives that was based on the Indonesian Compact Development Team's (CDT) recommendations that focused on a number of strategic interlinkages of project components with the broad objective of driving and demonstrating significant reform in the planning, preparation, financing, procurement, delivery and preservation of regional transport infrastructure. The projects are recommended with the following broad objectives in mind: (i) to create a system for lasting, transformational improvement through reform of Indonesia's transport infrastructure sector, (ii) to improve value for money of Indonesia's infrastructure investment over the long term, and (iii) to implement demonstration projects which act as proof of concept for reformed infrastructure processes including the introduction of innovative financing models.

The CDT Project Proposal recommends four key components: (i) the development of Public Investment Management Guidelines (PIMG) for infrastructure, (ii) the design and operationalization of a Project Preparation Facility to support sub-national governments, (iii) strengthening financial intermediation (supply side) for infrastructure, and (iv) Demonstration Projects in selected target provinces.

Based upon the above considerations, the four CDT Project Proposal components have been restructured into the following five (5) compact delivery streams:

• Planning Reform and Demonstration Regional Transport Plan (incorporating PIMG planning stage up to project pipeline)

• PIMG (from project pipeline through to preservation

• Project Preparation and Delivery Facility (PPF)

• Strengthening Financial Intermediation

• Demonstration Projects.

As the work progresses and potential sectors or project areas come into focus as areas for MCC investment, MCC and the Government of Indonesia (GOI) need to identify specific infrastructure projects located in potentially five (5) provinces that are most suited for an MCC project in the given sector or project area.

Understanding characteristics of particular project areas within the selected provinces, subnational government institutional structure, the regulator and policy environment, project planning, development, financing and implementation processes, the political economy governing the official relationship between the provincial and national governments are some of the critical elements in identifying investments opportunities for the MCC Indonesia compact II. Understanding of these elements would also facilitate efficient stakeholder engagements, enable smarter and more efficient project design, and enable smoother implementation.

C. Country

Indonesia and any MCC eligible country.

D. Scope and Objectives

MCC is seeking in-country expertise to provide MCC with provincial and national level independent assessments about the policy, project identification. planning, financing, private sector participation, institutional and regulatory structures, implementation, operational and maintenance challenges from the soft (i.e., non-hard infrastructure) perspective. Such assessments will guide the MCC compact II development team in factoring the appropriate considerations in the design and development of project investments as part of Indonesia II compact. The work would start immediately and feed into the Problem Diagnosis, Project Definition and Project Development phases as outlined above.

The consultant will be guided by several distinctive features of MCC contribute to its unique approach:

1. MCC operates under the principle of country ownership. Countries identify their own priorities for achieving sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction following broad consultation within their society and work in partnership with MCC to refine programs.

2. MCC's compact programs are strictly limited to an implementation period of no more than five years.

3. MCC investments typically involve significant policy and institutional reform components.

4. MCC expects its compact programs to continue delivering benefits long after a five-year compact program comes to a close. To do so, compact programs must be designed and implemented for long-term sustainability.

5. MCC compliance with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) environmental and social performance standards as well as robust gender integration policies

6. Investment considerations must include climate resilience approach that include climate sensitivity, focus and/or emphasis considerations.

MCC therefore will require:

- rapid and ongoing assessment of local government's abilities to adhere to the principles outlined above and to meet our operational requirements (for example, IFC Performance Standards, tax exemption);

- a general understanding of non-state actors that wield policymaking influence within the localities in question both during the selection phase and after local governments have been recruited for participation in a possible MCC investment.

- To closely work with the MCC infrastructure/TVS staff and the relevant MCC compact development team, CDT and MCC Due Diligence Consultants as may be required;

This work will focus on ascertaining whether specific project / local jurisdiction combinations will be likely to meet MCC's project Investment Criteria during the Project Definition phase outlined above. Once this determination has been made and projects selected for further due diligence, this work will shift to making project design and implementing arrangement recommendations commensurate with any local context challenges or opportunities. MCC's Investment Criteria are:

• MCC expects the compact programs it supports to reduce barriers to a country's long-term economic growth, as identified in the constraints analysis described above.

• MCC expects each project it supports to generate economic benefits that exceed the project's total costs, as measured through a cost benefit analysis that determines an Economic Rate of Return (ERR).

• MCC's expects that its compact programs can be completed within an implementation period of no more than five

(5) years.

• MCC believes that economic development assistance is most effective when it strengthens the relationship between a selected country's government and its citizens, reflects the selected country's own priorities, and augments the impact of other development projects and plans.

• MCC recognizes that economic growth and poverty alleviation can only be achieved when the natural environment is protected and the participation of women, the poor and disadvantaged social groups is ensured.

• MCC supports projects that set clear, measurable goals and are designed to continuously monitor their progress and performance.

• MCC expects its compact programs to continue delivering benefits long after a five (5) year compact program comes to a close. To do so, compact programs must be designed and implemented for long-term sustainability.

MCC 52.232-73 TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT (MAY 2017)

Policy.When authorized as part of the Scope of Work on this contract/order and within the contract/order ceiling and as approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and/or other MCC officials as described below, travel expenses incurred in performance of technical directives issued under this contractor/order may be reimbursed as allowed by the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) in effect at the time of travel. MCC's supplemental policy interpretations are derived from the FTR and cannot grant additional benefits or adjust processes defined in the FTR. Supplemental policies of MCC set forth below:

a) Traveler Responsibilities. All contractor travelers must:

1) Exercise the same care in incurring expenses that a prudent person would exercise if traveling on personal business;

2) Travel in accordance with the FTR and the MCC policies included in this document; and

3) Pay any charges or fees associated with non-compliance of FTR or any MCC policies included in this document, and any expenses incurred for personal convenience. For example, the traveler may become personally responsible for travel costs associated with unauthorized use of other than coach class accommodations, failing to follow the Fly American Act requirements, exceeding per diem rates, changing departure or return flights, purchasing unapproved items, etc. regardless of the fact that travel arrangements may have been booked by others (e.g., Travel Agency).

b) Cabin Class Standards

1) The standard cabin class for contractor air-travel is coach class, regardless of destination or travel time.

2) Coach "premium" class may be authorized for destinations which have a travel time of more than 14 hours, consistent with the Federal Travel Regulations and the approval standards outlined in paragraph (f) of this document.

3) Business class travel accommodations will NOT be authorized except as determined through the approval process outlined in paragraph (f) of this document. This approval process is considered to be exceptional, to be part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time.

c) Airlines and Flights. In accordance with the Fly America Act, contractors must use a U.S. flag air carrier service for all travel funded by the government beginning or ending in the U.S. unless a specific exemption to the "Fly America" rule applies. Flights on U.S. air carrier pairings with foreign carriers (i.e., code share flights) are regarded as meeting Fly America requirements if the ticket is issued on the American carrier and there is an American carrier flight number.

d) Limitations. Travel reimbursement, which is part of ODC, shall not exceed the authorized ODC amount on the contract. To be reimbursable, the travel expenses must be:

1) Allowable under the FTR and the provisions of this contract/order and associated technical directives;

2) Approved prior to travel expenditure by the COR; and

3) Allocable and necessary for performance of this contract/order and associated technical directives.

e) Reimbursement Requests. Travel reimbursement requests must be submitted in sufficient time for the COR to give prior approval, and must identify:

1) The name of the traveler.

2) Destination (s) including itinerary.

3) Purpose of the travel; and

4) Cost breakdown.

5) To be reimbursed, invoices including travel expenses must provide a detailed breakdown of the actual expenditures invoiced. Contractor shall maintain the original or legible copy of receipts for all travel expenses invoiced when the expenditure is $75.00 or more. MCC reserves the right to request evidence of any travel expense paid.

f) Approvals. All travel expenses, including rental cars, must be approved by the MCC COR in writing in advance of booking any travel and incurring travel expenses. The following expense types require additional MCC pre-approvals beyond that of the COR. These additional approvals and associated justifications will be documented in writing:

1) Business class - Business class travel is considered to be exceptional, to be determined as part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time. To reflect the exceptional nature of this approval, the justification for use of business class must be prepared by the COR and approved in writing by the relevant Managing Director or Deputy Vice President of the organization requesting the contractor to travel. The single exception to requiring this justification and approval for every trip in question is when a State Department approved medical accommodation has been granted. In this case, the approval of the COR and the Contracting Officer only is required after verifying that the medical accommodation is effective for the trip in question and that sufficient funds are available. All justifications must verify that the contractor is required to report for duty the following day or sooner, that the travel time for the trip is at least 14 hours, and that a rest stop will not be taken en route. For audit purposes, all justifications and approvals to this effect must be retained by the COR and the contractor until contract closeout at which point all documentation must be provided to the Contracting Officer for incorporation in the contract file. Below are possible justifications supporting these exceptional requests:

A) Medical accommodation -

MCC has engaged the services of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Federal Occupational Health Service (FOH), and Medical Employability Program (MEP) for medical accommodations due to disability adjudication.

Requests for, and HHS determinations on, medical accommodations for business class travel will be confidential, with only MCC's Travel Office receiving copies of the request and the MED/DP determination. Contractor travelers requesting medical accommodations based upon disability must complete the steps below. Forms are available from the MCC COR and/or PM.

1) Contractor traveler completes the Medical Employability Case Transmittal Form, A127523-S192701-W190333.

Form can be faxed to (301) 492-4783 or e-mailed to medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov with a copy to the MCC Travel Office at mccmedical@mcc.gov.

2) Contractor traveler forwards Physician a copy of the Medical Accommodation Physician's form, which the physician completes, dates, and signs. Once signed, the traveler OR their physician e-mails a scanned .pdf attachment to HHS at medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov. Alternatively, it can be faxed Attn: Medical Employability Program (301) 492-4783.

3) Once both forms have been completed and sent, HHS makes a medical determination based on the information provided by the traveler and the traveler's physician on the HHS/FOH/EMP forms. FOH will send a letter to the POC listed on the transmittal form with recommendations.
