New clarification added: Q26. For the constuction machinery, the requirement of engine reach to US EPA Tier 4 final /EU stage V. You already addressed this question, however in our opinion this is a critical issue which you should be required to revisit again.A26. The requirement for ALL trucks are amended to read, "Emissions complies with: EU Stage II or equivalent". Please see amendment 3 of the RFQ - Amendment 3 RFQ Section II - Schedule of Requirements_Trucks and Amendment 03_RFQ_Section_III_Returnable Quotation Forms_Trucks for details.Q27a. Regarding Lot 1 - Long-Range Reconnaissance vehicles.We are kindly asking you to revisit the requirement for "Power: 200+bhp, 6 Cylinder engine" , we strongly suggest to change engine specs to something like: "Minimum 140 hp, 4 cyl diesel", capable of operating with low quality diesel (2000 ppm Sulphur, high water content). "A27a. The requirement remain the same under this tender.Q27b. When those pickups are fully loaded, engine torque at low RPM becomes much more critical parameter, than the engine hp. Simply saying, even 200-300 hp engine with low torque will not perform as good as a 140 hp engine with high torque numbers at low RPM.Therefore, we strongly recomend to add Engine Torque requirement. Something like "Minimum 400 Nm torque, at low RPM"A27b. The requirement remain the same under this tender.Q28. We would like to draw your attn.to the LRPV specification that reads, "Protection – The vehicle must be protected by a full Roll Over Protection System which consists of a tubular superstructure mounted on the chassis made of flexible interface joints which enables the frame to flex with the chassis as the vehicle moves over rough terrains." The above specification is inclined more to commercial vehicle standards than to Military standards. Can the he specification be amended to read as, :"The vehicle must be fitted with a full body undercarriage protection plate”,?A28. Please refer to the Gneral requirement under point #2b.The LRPV must be economically built with commercially available parts, enabling easy maintenance and uncomplicated logistics which makes the LPRV’s operations and maintenance easier in field conditions.Q29a. Within the UNOPS E-Tending Software – under the Vender Submission Tab – and under the Documents Checklist subtab - there are only six (6) areas to be answered by bidders. Five of the six Tabs, represent required forms (Form A, Form D, Form E, Form G and Form H ). Can UNOPS please instruct where bidders are supposed to place required information for Forms B, C and F? A29a. Please check the checklist under the specific lot for the specific document /form for the each and the main tender checklist. Form D is under main tender check listQ29b. Under Form H – Joint Ventures – could UNOPS please provide their definition of (1) Consortium (2) Joint Venture and (3) Association? A29b. Commercial arrangement between 2 or more companies backed by law. Bidders are expected to submit legal agreements. Bidders in JV documents will be used for the evaluation. This is different from sub-contractors, which document will not be use for the evaluation.Q29c. If Bidder’s choose FCA INCOTERMs (as opposed to CPT INCOTERMS), and Mogadishu is the named place/site – can bidders simply quote CPT? A29c. Bidders are required to quote for FCA and CPT as required under RFQ Form B: Price Schedule Form. Please read the note under esouricng tab particular under evaluation, which states, "UNOPS reserves the right to compare total freight prices of bidders with rates of reputable freight forwarders and to consider such rates for the purpose of bid evaluation. In the event of freight prices of bidders being found more competitive than rates offered by freight forwarders, UNOPS may issue the contract on CPT basis to the Vendor instead of FCA".Q29d. Can UNOPS clarify – if after individually completing delivery for any of the LOT’s, that payment for the a completed LOT, or LOT’s – can be invoiced? A29d. Evaluation and award will be done per lot. If a bidder is awarded more than 1 contract, each contract will be handled independently. Please refer esourcing tab particular under payments for payment terms.Q29e. What can bidders expect by way of UNOPS (or its representatives) inspections and/or tests – in order to achieve full approval and acceptance for the vehicles delivered? A29e. Please refer to the schedule of requirements under d. Inspections and tests for the details of the inspections and tests requirementsQ29f.
