“Supply and Installation of 250 Photovoltaic Systems”

This Specific Procurement Notice follows the General Procurement Notice (GPN) corresponding to the first semester 2008, published in dgMarket online on January 9, 2008, UN Development Business online on January 15, 2008 and in the local newspapers La Prensa Gráfica and El Diario de Hoy on January 18, 2008, and also posted on the FOMILENIO website at http://www.fomilenio.gob.sv

The Government of the Republic of El Salvador (GOES) received a US$ 460.9 million grant from the Government of the United States of America through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), a US Government corporation created to help to facilitate the reduction of poverty through economic growth. The Fondo del Milenio (FOMILENIO), the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA Entity), is the institution established under the laws of El Salvador to act in the name of the Government, and subject to the terms and conditions of related agreements, and the availability of funds, the GOES intends to use a portion of the proceeds indicated, to make eligible payments under the terms and conditions established on the contract resulting from the present Request for Proposal.

The payments to be done by FOMILENIO will be subjected to the terms and conditions, including restrictions on the use of funds from MCC indicated in the Compact. No other party that GOES and FOMILENIO will have any rights on the Compact or will have any rights to claim funds from the MCC resources.

The Firm will be selected under the Competitive Bedding (CB) described in the Request for Proposal (RFP), in accordance with the MCC Program Procurement Guidelines of February 15, 2008, Section 1.A, which is found at: http://www.mcc.gov/documents/mcc-guidelines-programprocurement.pdf. The Consulting Firms are advised that while these procedures are similar to those set out in the World Bank Guidelines there are several very significant differences. For that reason it is recommended that the Interested review carefully the documents of RFP and the pertaining sections of the MCC Procurement Guidelines.

Any person or entity that has been blacklisted from participation in procurements funded with the World Bank assistance or debarred or suspended from participation in procurements funded by the United States Federal Government or otherwise prohibited by applicable United States law or Executive Order or United States policies, including under any then-existing anti-terrorist policies, shall be excluded from this procurement.

The required services are directly related with the activity of Supply and Installation of 250 Photovoltaic Systems.

The Interested can obtain the “Request for Proposals” documents without cost, and additional information in the address indicated below starting May 6, 2008 from Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (El Salvador local time). The Request for Proposal documents can also be downloaded from FOMILENIO’s web page (www.fomilenio.gob.sv), in the Section Procurement, starting the above date.

The proposals must be submitted in Spanish, according to the MCC’s Spanish Language waiver dated March 13, 2008 in sealed and separated envelopes for the Technical and Financial proposals in one (1) original and three (3) copies, and one (1) electronic copy in the form of a CD Rom. The proposals shall be sent to the address indicated below by June 17, 2008, no later than 3:00 PM (El Salvador local time). Proposals received after this time and date shall not be considered and shall be returned unopened. The Firms should be aware that distance and customs formalities may require longer than expected delivery time.
