New clarification added: Question: Will there be a contract negotiation phase with the firm that will be awarded the project?Answer: No.UNOPS does not enter into contract negotiations with firms. UNOPS uses the standard contract conditions, which has been attached to the tender link.Question: Regarding RFP Section II para 11 – ‘the team is expected to facilitate discussions or negotiations between DOE and proponents of OSW projects found to be within exclusion zones’. Could you please provide some more clarity on this expectation and the anticipated outcomes?Answer: The Department of Energy has awarded service contracts to several companies to develop specific zones for offshore wind. The MSP tool produced by this Project will be used to determine if these areas are within the zones identified eligible for offshore wind development. The consultants are expected to support DOE to explain and negotiate the existing service contracts should these projects fall outside eligible areas. It is expected that consultants will provide advise, participate in meetings with project developers, and provide written technical opinion that will support the negotiations, among others. One of the expected outputs of the TA is: 5c. Guidance for OSW Projects overlapping with exclusion zone: Support DOE in drafting of issuances of advisory and policy guidance for projects that overlap with exclusion zones.
