RFP No. 72051422R00010 USAID’s Tierra Dorada / Golden Land Activity

The purpose of this amendment is to update the RFP with the results from the Q&A from any potential offerors and introduce other updates as required by regulation.

Changes are made as follows:

1) On page 51, SECTION F – DELIVERIES OR PERFORMANCE – F.5. REPORTS AND DELIVERABLES – a) Rapid Mobilization Plan (RMP), delete “all senior permanent staff” and replace with “Key Personnel”;

2) On page 77, SECTION G – CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA - G.7.

TECHNICAL DIRECTIONS/RELATIONSHIP WITH USAID, delete the clause in its entirety and replace with the following language:

“a. Technical directions must be in writing, and must be within the scope of the contract, as detailed in Section C. Technical directions include:

1. Written directions to the Contractor that fill in details, suggest possible lines of technical inquiry, or otherwise facilitate completion of the work;

2. Provision of written information to the Contractor that assists in the interpretation of drawings, specifications, or technical portions of the work statement; and

3. Review and, where required, written approval of technical reports, drawings, specifications, or technical information to be delivered.

b. The CO, by separate designation letter, authorizes the COR to take any or all action with respect to the following, unless specifically prohibited by the terms of this contract:

1. Provide technical direction.

2. Assure that the Contractor performs the technical requirements of the contract in accordance with the contract terms, conditions, and specifications.

3. Perform or cause to be performed, inspections in connection with this contract and require the Contractor to correct all deficiencies; perform acceptance for the Government.

4. Maintain direct communications with the Contractor. Written communications with the Contractor and documents must be signed as “Contracting Officer’s Representative” with a copy furnished to the CO.

5. Monitor the Contractor’s production or performance progress and notify the Contractor in writing of deficiencies observed during surveillance, and direct appropriate action to effect correction. Record and report to the CO incidents of faulty or nonconforming work, delays or problems.

6. Complete CPARs every 12 months.

7. Obtain necessary security clearance and appropriate identification if access to Government facilities is required.

8. If to be provided, ensure that Government furnished property is available when required.

c. LIMITATIONS: The COR is not empowered to award, agree to, or sign any contract (including delivery or purchase orders) or modifications thereto, or in any way to obligate Government funds. The COR may not take any action that may impact the contract schedule, funding, contract scope, or rate of utilization of level of effort. All contractual agreements, commitments, or modifications that involve costs, prices, quantities, quality, and schedules will be made only by the

CO.

d. In the separately-issued COR designation letter, the CO may designate an alternate COR to act in the absence of the designated COR, in accordance with the terms of the letter.

e. Contractual Problems: Contractual problems of any nature that arise during the life of the contract must be handled in accordance with the terms of this contract and applicable laws and regulations. The Contractor and the COR will bring all contractual problems to the immediate attention of the CO. Only the CO is authorized to formally resolve such contractual problems. The CO is the sole authority authorized to approve changes to the contractual requirements.

Notwithstanding any clause contained elsewhere in this contract, the said authority remains solely with the CO. These changes include, but will not be limited to, the following areas: Statement of Work, price, quantity, technical specifications, delivery schedules, and contract terms and conditions. In the event the Contractor effects any changes at the direction of any other person other than the CO, the change will be considered to have been made without authority.

f. Failure by the Contractor to report to the CO any action by the Government considered to be a change, within the specified number of days contained in FAR 52.243-7 (Notification of Changes), waives the Contractor’s right to any claims for equitable adjustments.

g. In case of a conflict between this contract and the COR designation letter, the contract prevails.”

3) On page 82, SECTION H – SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, delete Section H.4 (“DEFENSE BASE ACT (DBA) INSURANCE”) in its entirety;

4) On page 101, SECTION I – APPLICABLE CLAUSES – I.2. AIDAR CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE (MAR 2015), delete “752.228-3 WORKER'S

COMPENSATION INSURANCE (DEFENSE BASE ACT) (DEC 1991)”;

5) On page 106, SECTION I – APPLICABLE CLAUSES, insert the following clause:

“I.6. 752.228-3 WORKER’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE (DEFENSE BASE

ACT) (DEC 1991) [(DEVIATION JUN 2022)]

Class Deviation No. M-OAA-DEV-AIDAR-22-10c In addition to the requirements specified in (48 CFR) FAR 52.228-3, the Contractor agrees to the following:

(a) The Contractor agrees to procure Defense Base Act (DBA) insurance pursuant to the terms of the contract between USAID and USAID’s DBA insurance carrier unless the Contractor has a DBA self-insurance program approved by the Department of Labor or has an approved retrospective rating agreement for DBA. The rates and contact information for USAID’s DBA insurance carrier are published in an Acquisition & Assistance Policy Directive found on USAID’s website: https://www.usaid.gov/work-usaid/resources-for-partners. Alternatively, the Contractor can request the rates and contact information from the Contracting Officer.

(b) If USAID or the Contractor has secured a waiver of DBA coverage (see (48 CFR) AIDAR 728.305-70(a)) for Contractor’s employees who are not citizens of, residents of, or hired in the United States, the Contractor agrees to provide such employees with worker’s compensation benefits as required by the laws of the country in which the employees are working, or by the laws of the employee’s native country, whichever offers greater benefits.

(c) The Contractor further agrees to insert in all subcontracts hereunder to which the DBA is applicable, a clause similar to this clause, including this sentence, imposing on all subcontractors a like requirement to provide overseas worker’s compensation insurance coverage and obtain DBA coverage under the USAID requirements contract.”

6) On page 132, SECTION L – INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS OR RESPONDENTS – L.5.2. Format, Page Limitation and Content, delete “All graphs and charts must be included in the annexes.”

7) On page 133, SECTION L – INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS OR RESPONDENTS – L.5.2. Format, Page Limitation and Content, delete:

“● Annex A: CVs/Resumes for proposed Key Personnel (up to two pages per KP)

● Annex B: CVs/Resumes for proposed Key Personnel (up to two pages per KP)”;
