Questions and Responses under RFQ MCC-16-RFQ-0223

# Question Response

1 CVs: is there any specific format or template that we have to follow? Any page limit?

No, there is no specific format or template, nor any page limit, either on individual CVs or on the total body of CVs.

2 Project references: On page 56 of the RFP document it is asked to provide “examples of relevant contracts … within the past three years”. However on page 60 it says ‘firms will be evaluated … for similar services during the past five (5) years.” -> Could you please confirm that we can provide the project references for the later (5 years) to be evaluated?

The correct answer is five years, as specified in Section M, under Factor 2 PAST PERFORMANCE (“Firms will be evaluated on their performance under existing and prior contracts for similar services during the past five (5) years.”).

The first sentence in Section L.3.1 now reads as follows:

“The Quoter shall provide five (5) examples of relevant contracts or call orders similar in size, scope, and complexity to the Statement of Work, performed as a prime contractor or subcontractor within the past three five years of the date of this solicitation.”

3 On page 9, reference is made to an ‘Annex B’. This is not part of the RFQ. Is it possible to receive this and any other additional annexes?

Annex B will be provided in Amendment 0003.

Is the Konni area part of the Rapid Ecological Assessment because it is included in the project description but not specified in the described tasks?

Konni is not part of the Rapid Ecological Assessment

(REA).

Does the Rapid Ecological Assessment cover the entire “Reserve Partielle de Faune de Dosso” or only the part that overlaps with the Ramsar Site “Zone Humide du Moyen Niger I”?

At a minimum, the REA should cover the overlapping protected areas and irrigation project area.

Are the ecosystem services part of the Contractor’s mandate for MCC-16-RFQ-0223 with respect to Rapid Ecological Assessment?

An assessment of ecosystem services is expected as part of the REA.

What does “enroute expenses (Niger)” cost component entail; listed in the anticipated other direct-costs tables on pages 15, 16 and 17 of the RFQ?

Enroute expenses are expenses incurred enroute to/from Niger such as taxis, trains etc.

Is there a specific payment distribution to the Contractor assigned by the MCC? In order to maintain a positive cash flow, is it possible to obtain a payment (25% of contact value) upon award of contract?

The government anticipates awarding a Time and Material type contract. Invoices can be submitted every 30 days.
