Pre-solicitation Notice No. 19GE5024R0048 Page 2 of 2

Firms shall be knowledgeable in written and spoken English and possess all appropriate permits and licenses to perform construction work in Mexico.

A date for pre-proposal conference and site visit is to be determined (TBD); details will be provided to all interested parties later.

By submitting an expression of interest (EOI), the offeror is acknowledging that it can comply with the following requirements which will be included in the solicitation:

In accordance with DOSAR 652.242-73 AUTHORIZATION AND PERFORMANCE (AUG 1999), it is mandatory for the offeror or the party doing the work to possess authorization to operate and do business in Mexico. Time is of the essence; therefore, the offeror must fully satisfy this DOSAR clause at proposal submission. The offeror will be required to provide information that clearly shows that it is authorized to operate and do business in Mexico. Any entry or work visa issues or requirements must be clearly discussed, with a plan to mitigate any risk clearly identified. The U.S.

Government will not provide any assistance with visas.

Irrevocable Letters of Credit (ILCs) or bonds: The offeror will be required to show by way of a letter from a financial institution that it will be provided with ILCs or bonds totaling 40% of the value of the contract. The amounts being approved by the financial institution will need to be written into the documentary proof. Only the financial institution’s confirmation letter regarding availability of ILCs or bonds (not the ILCs or bonds themselves) shall be submitted with offeror’s proposal to the solicitation.

The Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and System for Award Management (SAM) registration are a mandatory requirement for a company to be considered for contract award. Offerors may obtain the

UEI and information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet on

SAM: www.sam.gov.

The failure by the offeror to provide the above documentation in its proposal may result in the proposal being found nonresponsive and removed from the competition without further discussions.

Solicitation and award will be subject to the laws and regulations of the United States of America.

Competition is full and open.
