Questions and Answers (BOLD)

Question 1: Please advise on the estimated time input/level of effort of Key Experts over the project duration (in person-days).

Answer 1: The RFP details the required scope of work for the contract. It is up to the offeror to determine level of effort and pricing for deliverables as a part of the proposal.

Question 2: The RFP anticipates travel to host countries (India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and other countries in the South and Southeast Asia and Pacific Islands region), which is estimated as two trips for two staff members for a total of 30 days to meet with prospective grantees and other relevant stakeholders from the relevant sector. Could you please confirm if you estimate the two trips over 30 days to be held over the entire duration of the project (2 years), or if you expect the consultants to undertake two trips to each country over 30 days? In case of the former, please advise if you assume that the experts will travel to multiple countries during their trips.

Answer 2: USTDA is estimating two international trips for two contractors over 30 total days over the entire duration of the project. Each international trip would typically involve stops in two to three countries.

All Else Remain Unchanged.
