Scope of Work
The objective of this activity is to procure, retrofit and install up to three (3) modular free-standing office-container buildings, to be located on the grounds of the Centre d’Agriculture Saint Barnabas (CASB) in Terrier Rouge, providing facilities for the administrative functions associated with the proposed Sustainable Rural Development Center (Centre Rural de Développement Durable - CRDD).
The work to be performed under this subcontract shall consist of the following: providing all tools, equipment, materials, supplies, and manufactured articles; furnishing all labor, transportation, and services, including shipping, fuel, power, water, and essential communications; and performing all work or other operations required for the fulfillment of the services. The work shall be complete, and all work, materials, and services not expressly indicated or called for in the Scope of Work which may be necessary for the completion and proper installation of the works in good faith shall be provided by the subcontractor. The subcontractor shall be responsible for the procurement, fabrication and installation services associated with the proposed modular administrative facilities of the CRDD at CASB. The work will be implemented in the following phases:

Phase 1 – Development of Technical Specifications
Subcontractor shall secure and isolate the worksite for the protection of its workforce and the general public on the grounds of the CASB. The subcontractor shall be responsible for developing Technical Specifications for all the components associated with the procurement and installation of the facilities to house the temporary administrative facilities of the CRDD at CASB. In particular, the subcontractor shall develop technical specifications, as per the preliminary layouts provided under Attachment - B, for each office-container unit, box-culvert to access the site, gravel driveway, and all appurtenances necessary for a complete project. Only minor variations of the proposed layout shown under Attachment - B will be allowed with respect to overall footprint and space distribution. The interior courtyard shall be paved and covered with a lightweight metal frame structure. Each proposed office-container (8’ x 40’ x 9.5’) unit shall have a surface area of approximately 29.7 square meters with a minimum ceiling height of 2.6 meters.
The proposed office-container units shall be able to be transported and assembled at the work site. The subcontractor shall use high cube intermodal units that are sound structurally and aesthetically as the basis to assemble the office-containers. The technical specifications shall be based on the following criteria, but offerors are encouraged to expand on the criteria in order to produce the best possible design within the constraints of the site:
The craftsmanship and quality of materials and equipment used shall result in facilities having a minimum operating life expectancy of 10 years.
The technical specifications shall be comprised of shop drawings for the fabrication and installation of all proposed components to verify compatibility and adequacy with each other as well as satisfy the intended purpose of the facilities.
Specifications shall be provided for all doors, windows, hardware, flooring, cabinetry, mechanical (air conditioners), lighting, electrical, plumbing and security components. In addition, technical specifications shall be provided for the connection to the utility services (water, sanitary, electrical, drainage).
In addition, technical specifications shall be provided for the culvert to provide access to the site. The culvert shall be reinforced concrete, with a minimum width of 6.0 m, and have a load rating of H-20 or higher. The gravel driveway shall have a minimum width of 6.0 m driveway and be graded for positive drainage, with a 15 cm layer of clean compacted backfill (0-40), topped with 15 cm layer of clean gravel (12-25)
The proposed office-containers shall be one (1) story units able to be transported and assemble at the work site. The overall dimensions and space distribution shall be as per the attached proposed layouts. The subcontractor shall be responsible for the technical specifications but the following are general guidelines for the proposed facilities:
• Container: High cube intermodal (8’ x 40’ x 9.5’) installed on level grade, securely attached to withstand category V hurricane force winds, and with finish floor elevation at 0.45 m (18”) above adjacent ground.
• Interior Perimeter Walls: ½” gypsum board on 3-5/8” galvanized metal studs (24 gauge minimum), with R-5 insulation.
• Interior Partitions: ½” gypsum board on 3-5/8” galvanized metal studs (22 gauge minimum).
• Flooring: Finish floor material to be commercial grade laminated wood or vinyl composition tile (VCT).
• Ceiling: ½” gypsum board on 3-5/8” galvanized metal studs (22 gauge minimum), with R-19 insulation.
• Windows: Aluminum frame windows, with integrated insect screen, to be single hung or sliding with all required hardware (locks, handles, hinges, sills, stops).
• Exterior Doors: Metal frame and metal skin with all required hardware (locks, handles, hinges, sills, stops).
• Interior Doors: Wood frame and solid wood panel with all required hardware (locks, handles, hinges, stops).
• All interior electrical, plumbing and mechanical wires, conduits, pipes or ducts shall be recessed or enclosed in the floor, walls or ceiling.
• Canopy over Courtyard: Commercial grade steel tube (posts: 4x4x1/8, rafters/beams: 2x2x1/8) framing with corrosion protection; corrugated metal roof panels (22-gauge minimum) with R-11 batt insulation.
Soils and materials testing, where required, to develop the technical specifications shall be included under this phase and shall be the responsibility of the subcontractor. The above criteria have been prepared to assist the offerors in understanding the requirements with respect to expectations in terms of quality and standards. The criteria are to be used as guidelines in development of the offerors’ proposed technical specifications and are not intended to be conclusive in all respects.

Phase 2 – Procurement and Fabrication
The subcontractor shall be responsible for procuring and delivering the high cube containers and all required ancillaries for a complete installation upon approval of the technical specifications documents by Chemonics. The subcontractor shall be responsible for all required payments to the manufacturers, storage, shipping and custom clearance, as required. Delays in fabrication, shipping or custom clearance shall be the responsibility of the subcontractor. The subcontractor shall provide a written warranty that all materials used in the fabrication and installation shall be free from defects for a period of five (5) year from the date of installation.

The Centre d’Agriculture Saint Barnabas is dedicated to train young agricultural technicians in Haiti, providing a two-year program combining both theory and practice. Founded in 1984, each fall, the CASB grants degrees in agricultural technology to students who have successfully completed the program. The existing facilities of the CASB were partially damaged as a result of the January 12, 2010 earthquake and this work is required to provide new functional work space for the staff of the CRDD. The scope of work for this RFQ is described in Section 3: Specifications and Technical Requirements below.
Offerors are responsible for ensuring that their offers are received by Chemonics in accordance with the instructions, terms, and conditions described in this RFQ. Failure to adhere with instructions described in this RFQ may lead to disqualification of an offer from consideration.
