RFP No. 72049723R00002 USAID Health Technical Assistance (BANTU II)

Amendment No. 01

ATTACHMENT 1

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Cover Page

1. Submission dates: Would USAID consider moving the submission date(s) back to allow for more time for production?

2. Taking into consideration that the RFP was issued during the Lebaran period, when the majority of local partners, civil society organizations and others who will be relevant to Bantu II were not available, we respectfully request an extension of the due date by 1 (one) week.

USAID Response: We are extending the submission deadline.

Section C – Statement of Work

C.1. Background

3. The RFP Background in Section C references the Mission’s four development objectives and indicates the following: “While we expect the majority of support to be provided to USAID/Indonesia’s fourth development objective, priority health outcomes improved, the contract will support the other three Development Objectives if so requested.”

Please provide any additional information possible on the interest of other Development Objectives within the Mission to access Bantu II and the procedure that would be envisioned for such a “buy-in” if it were to happen.

USAID Response: From the perspective of the contractor, this would simply mean that consultants would be hired for technical areas in other sectors besides health, and/or local organizations working in sectors besides health would receive organizational capacity building support.

C.3. Scope of Work

4. Under Objective 3, can USAID clarify if the potential local organizations the project will be assessing and supporting through capacity building are existing USAID grantees/sub-grantees or others that have not yet worked with USG (as a prime or sub) but show potential?

USAID Response: We expect this to be existing grantees and sub grantees.

5. For Objective 3. Support local organizations to address gaps in their organizational capacity, please provide a list and/or additional detail on other efforts being supported by the Mission to help further strengthen local organizational capacity and more broadly support Administrator Power’s efforts around localization.

USAID Response: The Mission’s MADANI Civil Society Support Initiative is focused on capacity building of local organizations. Several other Mission projects such as CHISU, MCGL and MPHD strengthen the capacity of their local sub-awardees.

C.4. Expected Results, Objective 3:

6. The RFP states: “All organizations provided with organizational capacity support demonstrate improved organizational capacity, including generating outcomes consistent with gender equality and female empowerment.”

Deliverable No. 11 in the List of Reports/Deliverables under Section F.6 Reports and Deliverables (Page 31) and F.6.11 (Page 36) states: “Support Local Organizations and improve organizational capacity: At least 80% of local organizations provided support demonstrating improvement based on a standardized tool.” Could USAID please confirm which result and target is accurate?

USAID Response: The target is at least 80% of local organizations provide support demonstrating improvement based on a standardized tool.

Section F – Deliveries or Performance

F.4. Key Personnel

7. On page 27-28, sections a and d note three TBD key personnel, with section b highlighting that “Key personnel specified above are considered essential to the work being performed under this contract."

a. Can USAID confirm that these positions are intentionally labelled TBD?

USAID Response: Yes, they are intentionally labeled TBD at this RFP stage. Key personnel will be identified post award, based on approved key personnel position(s) proposed by the successful offeror. See RFP section L.10.C.4 - Key Personnel and Management Approach https://www.madani-indonesia.org/

b. As Section L.10.(4) notes that an offeror may propose up to three (3) key personnel positions, can USAID confirm that the offeror can set associated roles and responsibilities and necessary qualifications in line with their own definition of the roles?

USAID Response: We are not sure we understand the question. As stated in Section L10.C.4 Key Personnel and Management Approach, “The offeror must describe roles and responsibilities for each of the proposed key personnel positions including their minimum qualifications and work experience at proposal submission time.” We do not ask for candidates or names at this time.

F.6 Reports and Deliverables:

8. In the List of Reports/Deliverables, Deliverables No. 8, 9, and 10 state they “will be reported semi-annually.” Can USAID please confirm whether these deliverables will be reported as part of the quarterly performance reports and annual reports or if a separate reporting process will be required?

USAID Response: These deliverables do not need to be reported separately. They need to be part of the second quarterly report and the annual report.

Section J – List of Attachments

Attachment 1 Past Performance Matrix and Attachment 2 Past Performance Reference Questionnaire:

9. Attachment 1 and Attachment 2 were not included as separate attachments, but only within the RFP PDF. Can USAID please provide separate attachment files in the appropriate file types?

USAID Response: We can provide separate attachments. Please find them in the attachments section of the solicitation in sam.gov.

Section L – Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors

L.4.2. Delivery Instructions:

10. Could USAID please confirm that email submissions should be addressed to Mr. Mohib Ahmed, Supervisory Contracting Officer?

USAID Response: Proposals must be addressed to Mr. Mohib Ahmed, Supervisory Contracting Officer, at the following email address: proposals-indonesia@usaid.gov

L.9 Instructions for the preparation of past performance

(1) Past Performance Information:

11. The RFP states: “The offeror…must provide performance information for itself, the contractor teaming arrangements, if any, and each major subcontractor…” and goes on to state: “Utilizing the Past Performance Matrix in Attachment J.1, list up to three (3) for the Prime and three (3) for each proposed major subcontractor…”

Can USAID please provide guidance on reporting past performance information for contractor teaming arrangements, other than major subcontractors?

USAID Response: Reporting team past performance for other than major subcontractors (over 20% of proposed costs) is not required. For joint venture information, please see L.11.5 Joint Venture Information

12. Subsection (c) pertaining to quality award and certifications concludes with “this information is not included in the page limitation”. Could USAID please confirm that there are no page limitations for information requested under L.10 (1) (a) and L.10 (1) (b)?

USAID Response: There is no page limitation for any information requested for past performance, including under L.9 (1) (a) and L.9 (1) (b).

(2) Past Performance Questionnaire:

13. The RFP states: “In addition to using the CPARS as one method of obtaining information about and evaluating past performance, USAID will use the “Past Performance Reference Questionnaire” (Attachment J.2) to obtain information, particularly for those awards for which a CPAR is not available.” The RFP goes on to state: “For those activities in which a CPARS report is not available, Offerors must: 1. complete the Part A.

Reference Information; and 2. forward the Past Performance Reference Questionnaire for Prime Offeror and any proposed major partners/subcontractors to the identified contact person of the referenced organization (the referee). The referee must submit mailto:proposals-indonesia@usaid.gov the completed questionnaire directly to USAID/Indonesia by the past performance due date specified on the Cover Page, as directed on the Past Performance Reference Form.”

a) Could USAID please confirm that Past Performance Reference Questionnaires are only required for those awards where CPAR reports are not available?

USAID Response: USAID confirms that Past Performance Reference Questionnaires are only required for those awards where CPARS reports are not available.

b) If CPAR reports are available for all awards and included as part of Past

Performance Information, can USAID please confirm that offerors do not need to send Past Performance Reference Questionnaires to referees and therefore do not need to include them in RFP submissions?

USAID Response: USAID confirms that If CPARS reports are available for all awards and included as part of Past Performance Information, offerors do not need to send Past Performance Reference Questionnaires to references, and therefore do not need to include them in the RFP submission.

L.10, A. General Instructions:

14. Per this section, one component of the Technical Proposal is a “Key Personnel, Management and Staffing Plan.” The RFP refers to this section as “Key Personnel and Management Approach in Section L.11, C.,4. Key Personnel and Management Approach (Page 111) and Section M.2.2, Evaluation Criteria (Page 127-128). Could USAID please confirm that the section should be titled “Key Personnel and Management Approach”?

USAID Response: Component “3. Key Personnel Management and Staffing Plan” is revised to reflect “3. Key Personnel and Management Approach.”

L.10, C., 1. Cover Page:

15. The requirements for the Cover Page listed in this section differ from the requirements for the Cover Page listed in Section L.2 (c) (2) Submission, Modification, Revision, and Withdrawal of Proposals (Page 101). Could USAID please confirm the complete list of required information that must be shown on the cover page?

USAID Response: FAR 52.215-1 ALT I should not have been in full text and is Incorporated By Reference (IBR).

L.10, C., 4. Key Personnel and Management Approach:

16. The RFP states: “Offeror must not submit candidates at this stage.” Under Salaries and Wages in Section L.12.2 Proposed Costs/Prices (Page 116) the RFP also states: “No key or non-key personnel are to be named at the proposal. All positions must be represented by a Position Title…” Could USAID please clarify whether these instructions specifically concern Key Personnel and the core team and whether it is permissible to include an illustrative matrix of long-term and short-term consultants and local organizations qualified to provide support envisioned under Bantu II?

USAID Response: These instructions refer to all personnel, no names should be included within the proposal. The second part of this question is unclear. If the offeror is wanting to put together a matrix that shows where possible consultants come from within their consortium, that would be acceptable. However, this is not an instruction, only an attempt to answer the question as we understand it.

17. Section L of the RFP clearly outlines the requirements, sections and related details including Annexes, where it also specifies that offerors are not required to name the three Key Personnel positions requested as follows: Offeror must propose Key Personnel positions that have the appropriate skill sets to assure successful achievement of the contract objectives. Offeror must not submit candidates at this stage. All individual(s) approvals (i.e. bio data, TCN approval, etc.) will be completed post award. The offeror must describe roles and responsibilities for each of the proposed key personnel positions including their minimum qualifications and work experience at proposal submission time. Offeror may propose up to three (3) Key Personnel positions.

Please clarify whether offerors may propose additional Key Personnel and/or include non-Key Personnel descriptions in the Management and Staffing section given the requirements? In addition, may offerors include an additional Annex showcasing CVs for Personnel it has lined up for important full-time positions as part of the Core Team, specifying that final approvals of Key Personnel will take place per the terms of the RFP?

USAID Response: Offerors may propose other non-key personnel positions as part of the staffing plan and organizational chart. The offerors must not submit candidates and CVs at this stage.

L.11. Instructions for the Preparation of the Cost Proposal

18. Under point 2. Proposed Costs/Prices, three components are listed: (i) Assumptions, (ii) Excel Workbook, and (iii) Budget Narrative. It appears that component (i) Assumptions should be a standalone section in the Cost Proposal. Section L.12.2, c. Budget Narrative, however, states: “Offeror should explain its assumptions in determining why the proposed unit/quantity aligns with its overall technical approach in order to address why these costs are considered realistic.” Would USAID consider offerors to include all assumptions in the budget narrative in lieu of having a separate assumptions section and a separate budget narrative?

USAID Response: The assumptions listed in L11.2.a. to be used by all offerors must be included within the budget and explained in the narrative. Other assumptions used to determine unit/quantity alignment with the technical approach must also be explained in the narrative.

19. Under point 4., Offeror’s Policies and Procedures are listed as an item that must be included in the Cost Proposal. However, Section L.12.4 Organizations Policies and Procedures (Page 121) states: “USAID reserves the right to request a copy of the apparently successful offeror most current personnel policies, especially regarding salary and wage scales, fringe benefits, merit increases, promotions, leave, differentials, travel, and per diem regulations, etc. The Contracting Officer may determine that a pre-award survey is necessary (see FAR 9.106).” Could USAID confirm that no policies and procedures (except for information concerning Workday and Work-week, and Paid Absences per Section L.12.2, a. Assumptions [Page 113] and corporate policies regarding annual salary increases per Section L.12.2 Proposed Costs/Prices under Salaries and Wages [Page 116]) should be submitted with the Cost Proposal at this time?

USAID Response: Thank you for noting this discrepancy in the RFP. Only the apparently successful offeror will be requested to submit organizational policies, if necessary.

20. For budgeting purposes, could USAID provide estimates for the LOE days they expect to request over the life of the project for: 1) long term consultants; and 2) short-term consultants? If the estimates are not available at this point, would USAID be willing to provide plug figures for long-term and short-term LOE with the goal of fair comparison of cost proposals from bidders?

USAID Response: Please see answer to Question 22 for new guidance on cost proposal benchmarks.

L.11.2 Proposed Costs/Prices:

21. The RFP states in subsection (b): “Offerors provide one Excel workbook for their proposed Cost/Price submission. Offerors must incorporate and link sub-contractor budgets within their own.”

Our subcontractors consider their cost/price data proprietary and prefer to submit that directly to the Government (e.g., NICRA, financial data). Will the Government allow for subcontractors to submit sanitized versions of their proposals to the Prime so they can be incorporated into the one Excel workbook and allow the subcontractors to submit their matching unsanitized/sealed package cost/price submission directly to the Government?

USAID Response: The prime may choose to package or “sanitize” the information as it determines best. However, please note, this may increase the chances of cost questions or require additional clarifications/negotiations. Further, it is unclear how the prime would be compliant with Consent to Subcontract (i.e., submit the required information, negotiation memo, etc.) in the absence of receiving and independently reviewing the information first, in accordance with Section L.11.7. it is the prime’s responsibility to make the initial determination prior to the government accepting or consenting to the sub-contract. The government will not accept direct submissions of sub-contract pricing.

22. Considering the resource and activity support nature of the contract where the skills, level effort, and support activities will change over time will USAID provide some guidance (common assumptions for all bidders) that will assist in developing the Detailed Budget by year. The solicitation does not include sufficient information on requirements to build-up to an award value consistent with the estimated cost range.

Based on the operating expectations for the contract that includes a high level of engagement by the COR in personnel resource application (approval of all personnel, their cost rates, and level of effort) and other support (approval of travel, meeting cost, capacity building engagements) there will be a high level of financial control once specific requirements are defined. Considering those controls and the lack of information to build-up direct and indirect costs over the five-year contract term, would USAID consider simply stipulating a contract cost ceiling? Section B only requires identification of total contract estimated direct cost, indirect cost and fee in addition to the approved indirect rates. The Detailed Budget will ultimately be inaccurate soon after award and does not reasonably inform Section B. Since the basis of award is currently “Best Value/Tradeoff”, would USAID consider providing one or more sample task requirements that will be priced by all bidders providing a foundation for like-for-like price comparison? Alternatively, can USAID provide plug figures to be used by all bidders for personnel positions and level of effort, consultant support, allowances, travel expenses, equipment and supplies, contractual/subcontract costs, and other direct costs.

Ultimately, the concern is that the solicitation does not include sufficient information to accurately set direct and indirect costs estimates for the five-year period and there is substantial opportunity for vastly different pricing interpretations that will thwart any like-for-like comparison of proposals.

USAID Response: To make valuable cost comparisons, we ask that all offerors budget $12,000,000 between the Consultants and Contractual/Subcontract Cost categories.

The offerors can determine how to split these costs across these two categories;

however, the summation of these two cost categories may not exceed the value stated above.

L.12. Instruction for the Preparation of the Branding Implementation and Marking Plan:

23. The RFP states in subsection (a): “…In response to this RFP, the apparently successful Offeror must include a Branding Implementation and Marking Plan…” and states in subsection (b): “The Branding and Marking Plan will only be required to be submitted by the apparently successful Offeror. Offerors must note that the plan is a separate item and will not be scored.”

Section M.5 Branding Implementation and Marking Plan (Page 131) states: “While the Branding Implementation Plan and Marking Plan will not be evaluated as a part of the best value consideration, award to the otherwise successful Offeror will not be made unless and until an acceptable plan is approved by the Government. Failure to submit an acceptable plan may cause the Government to award it to the next successful Offeror.”

Could USAID confirm that a Branding Implementation and Marking Plan is not required to be submitted with proposal at this time? If it is required to be submitted as part of the proposal at this time, could USAID please confirm that it should be included as an annex in the Cost Proposal (instead of the Technical Proposal)?

USAID Response: The Branding Implementation and Marking Plan is not required to be submitted with the proposal.

Other:

24. Was there a mid-term or end-term evaluation completed on the original Bantu or related programs in the USAID/Indonesia Health portfolio? None is readily available on the DEC or other sources, so a list and links/files would be appreciated if such exists.

USAID Response: No, there wasn’t any mid-term or end-term evaluation completed on the original Bantu or related programs in the USAID/Indonesia Health portfolio.

25. Considering degradation of environment intercepts with public health issues, especially for Emerging Infectious Disease (IR 4.1: Infectious Disease Burden Reduced) therefore there will be potential sources of funding comes from Environment Office (Climate Change), the World Bank and The UK AID which have allocated funding for this issue.

Will USAID allows BANTU 2 receive cost sharing from other donors for certain activities?

USAID Response: We do not have any information on cost sharing from other donors at this time. We will inform the apparently successful offeror if such an opportunity arises.

Amendment No. 01

SECTION C – STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 BACKGROUND

The USAID/Indonesia Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) drives the mission’s strategy for the period Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 through FY2025 and is built around the overarching goal of creating a stronger Indonesia advancing national and global development. There are four Development Objectives that build up to this goal: effective, democratic governance strengthened (DRG); inclusive economic growth increased (EGE); environmental sustainability improved (ENV); and priority health outcomes improved (HEA).

While we expect the majority of support to be provided to USAID/Indonesia’s fourth development objective, priority health outcomes improved, the contract will support the other three Development Objectives if so requested.

USAID/Indonesia’s Objective four (HEA) is comprised of three intermediate results:

IR 4.1: Infectious Disease Burden Reduced IR 4.2: Maternal and Newborn Health Outcomes Improved IR 4.3: Public Health Financing and Governance Improved

USAID/Indonesia works closely with the Government of Indonesia (GOI) and other local counterparts to help them achieve national goals and priorities towards a healthier Indonesia.

USAID provides targeted support and expertise that complements the contributions of other donors and the significant investments of GOI. Improving the skills of the clinical and public health workforces as well as the quality of care in the facilities where they work is essential to improving the health status of Indonesians. Improving access to care and strengthening the capacity of health systems is also imperative.

USAID/Indonesia partners with the GOI at national and sub-national levels, academic and private sector, and other donors to strengthen the GOI’s national strategies for improved health outcomes, health system strengthening, and disease control. The Office of Health’s portfolio comprises two teams: 1) maternal and child health (MCH) and Health Systems Strengthening (HSS), and 2) infectious diseases (ID). Under MCH and HSS, USAID is primarily focused on improving maternal and neonatal survival by improving quality of services, reducing delays within the emergency obstetrical care referral system and otherwise improving access to care, improving the governance environment, and supporting health system improvements. Within ID, USAID supports programs to control tuberculosis (TB), HIV/AIDS, avian and pandemic influenza/emerging pandemic threats, as well as selected neglected tropical diseases.

C.2 PROGRAM PURPOSE

The purpose of the Health Technical Assistance Project II (Bantu II) is to identify, recruit, hire, Amendment No. 01 administer and support qualified individuals or organizations to provide short or long-term technical assistance as needed and requested by USAID Indonesia’s Office of Health and other offices, in particular, to support USAID’s Health program and CDCS strategies and priorities. The Bantu II project will provide specialized, high-level technical assistance to USAID, USAID-funded programs, the GOI (e.g., the Ministry of Health (MOH), National AIDS Commission, Indonesian Commission for Hospital Accreditation, etc.) parastatal organizations (e.g., Eijkman Institute), sub-national government (e.g., district health office), non-government organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs), academic institutions, and other research institutes as required. The contract will support current and future areas of strategic interest, including USAID’s Locally Led Development Strategy, USAID ‘s Climate Strategy, and other directives.

Bantu II will identify a pool of diverse Indonesian, expatriate, and regional health, governance, information technology (IT), management professionals and local organizations who are able provide specialized expertise that may be lacking in the health systems, but which are critical to the success of Indonesian public health programs and achievement of the Mission’s development objectives related to health. Most of the technical assistance requests will contribute to achievement of specific health results as defined by USAID’s CDCS, but requests may also support the other three Development Objectives.

In addition, the Contract will support USAID to strengthen the capacity and sustainability of it’s local partners so that these organizations will be better able to fulfill their mandates

C.3 SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor must identify, contract and make available for short- and long-term periods individuals, organizations, or subcontractors to perform the specific tasks identified and requested by the USAID/Indonesia Office of Health or other USAID Offices. For the purposes of the Bantu II contract, short-term assignments will be those that last up to six months; long-term assignments will be six months to three years. The Contractor must identify appropriate consultants with the required expertise, availability, language proficiencies, and experience for each task.

Consultants provided under this contract will work from the Contractor`s offices, be deployed inside the institution supported, work within USAID/Indonesia’s office if/when required, and/or be deployed to any of the areas outside of Jakarta where USAID is engaged. In some cases, consultants may need to travel to ASEAN member states.

The Contractor must be responsible for maintaining clear lines of communication with USAID to ensure timeliness and responsiveness to project tasks, regular feedback on performance of individual consultants and organizations on specific assignments, and satisfactory completion of deliverables and assignments.

USAID will plan, to the extent possible, all anticipated consultant and technical assistance needs and annually submit to the Contractor a plan for consultancies, upon which the Contractor must build their annual work plan. While separate Statements of Work will be drafted for each

Amendment No. 01 position, the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) Technical Direction may include the requirement for the consultants to provide services to support specific work activities.

The Contractor must, as instructed by USAID, coordinate and collaborate with other identified partners and USAID programs. Furthermore, the Contractor must utilize local individuals and local organizations as appropriate in order to contribute to capacity development. If local individuals and organizations are used, the Contractor must manage the logistics, travel, per diem, and other such appropriate allowances as will be necessary to relocate these consultants domestically to their assignment location.
