The Grantee (the Instituto de Movilidad y Transporte del Estado de Jalisco) invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from interested U.S. firms that are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to develop Technical Assistance for the Guadalajara Traffic Control Modernization Project in Mexico.

Located in the State of Jalisco, Guadalajara is Mexico's second largest metropolitan area, with 8 municipalities and over 4.4 million people. Over the last 10 years, the city's traffic network has become increasingly complex and its management has become increasingly challenging due to the growing number of people, passengers, and vehicles in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area. To address the growing traffic and congestion issues, the Government of the State of Jalisco has passed a Mobility Law and developed the "2013-2018 State Development Plan" that includes plans to renovate and modernize the Guadalajara's transportation system. The plan's goal for the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area is to optimize transit times, safety, and user comfort by improving public transportation systems and promoting the use of other transportation means.

In order to support the implementation of the plan, the objective of this Technical Assistance is to modernize the traffic control technologies and related intelligent transportation system ("ITS") technologies for surface transportation in the Guadalajara metropolitan area. The Technical Assistance will allow the Grantee to harmonize traffic control standards and modernize traffic signalization, signage, and ITS deployments in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area

The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $686,275 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency ("USTDA").

A detailed Request for Proposals ("RFP"), which includes requirements for the Proposal, the Terms of Reference, and portions of a background Definitional Mission report are available from USTDA, at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901. To request the RFP in PDF format, please go to:

https://www.ustda.gov/businessopps/rfpform.asp

Requests for a mailed hardcopy version of the RFP may also be faxed to the IRC, USTDA at 703-875-4009. In the fax, please include your firm's name, contact person, address, and telephone number. Some firms have found that RFP materials sent by U.S. mail do not reach them in time for preparation of an adequate response. Firms that want USTDA to use an overnight delivery service should include the name of the delivery service and your firm's account number in the request for the RFP. Firms that want to send a courier to USTDA to retrieve the RFP should allow one hour after faxing the request to USTDA before scheduling a pick-up. Please note that no telephone requests for the RFP will be honored. Please check your internal fax verification receipt. Because of the large number of RFP requests, USTDA cannot respond to requests for fax verification. Requests for RFPs received before 4:00 PM will be mailed the same day. Requests received after 4:00 PM will be mailed the following day. Please check with your courier and/or mail room before calling USTDA.

Only U.S. firms and individuals may bid on this USTDA-financed activity. Interested firms, their subcontractors and employees of all participants must qualify under USTDA's nationality requirements as of the due date for submission of qualifications and proposals and, if selected to carry out the USTDA-financed activity, must continue to meet such requirements throughout the duration of the USTDA-financed activity. All goods and services to be provided by the selected firm shall have their nationality, source, and origin in the U.S. or host country. The U.S. firm may use subcontractors from the host country for up to 20 percent of the USTDA grant amount. Details of USTDA's nationality requirements and mandatory contract clauses are also included in the RFP.

Interested U.S. firms should submit their Proposal in English and Spanish directly to the Grantee by 4:00 PM (local time in Guadalajara, Mexico) on April 16, 2015 at the above address. Evaluation criteria for the Proposal are included in the RFP. Price will not be a factor in contractor selection, and therefore, cost proposals should NOT be submitted. The Grantee reserves the right to reject any and/or all Proposals. The Grantee also reserves the right to contract with the selected firm for subsequent work related to the project. The Grantee is not bound to pay for any costs associated with the preparation and submission of Proposals.
