A.2 STATEMENT OF WORK USAID Pakistan requires an experienced contractor to procure and deliver supplies and equipment including furniture for 115 newly reconstructed schools in Swat, Lower & Upper Dir and Buner of Malakand Division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. List of Schools is attached as Annexure 1. These school supplies and equipment will be owned by Elementary and Secondary Education Department of KP once delivered and accepted by the target schools. The contractor shall be responsible for the purchase, transportation, quality control, and safe delivery of the procured school supplies and equipment to the 115 schools. Before delivery, the contractor shall make sure that the schools are fully constructed and officially handed over to the Education Department. The contractor shall make sure that the supplies and equipment are handed over to the Principal/Head Teacher dully endorsed by the Executive District Officer, Education Department and PaRRSA for the targeted school and the concerned education officials have accepted (signing for) the supplies and equipment using an official inventory sheet. The official inventory sheet will be signed by the Principal/Head Teacher dully endorsed by the Executive District Officer, Education Department and Provincial Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Settlement Authority (PaRRSA). PaRRSA will provide support in communication and coordination with the Department of Education at the school, district and provincial level. PaRRSA is the implementing partner for the schools construction program. The contractor shall closely coordinate with PaRRSA and Elementary and Secondary Education Department in the procurement, quality control, and delivery of the procured school supplies and equipment. Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) will provide the necessary guidance. The target schools are of various levels including primary, middle, high and higher secondary and will be completed as per a construction schedule. For delivery purposes, the contractor will follow the construction schedule but the contractor must receive official written confirmation from USAID as to whether or not the schools are ready and have been officially handed over to the Education Department before the supplies and equipment may be delivered. Some of the schools may take longer than expected to be constructed and the contractor will have to adjust its delivery schedule accordingly. The contractor shall be responsible to ensure that each item meets the required quality and standards as agreed upon. USAID will provide limited assistance in security advice and liaison with PaRRSA, where required. This support is deemed minimal at this stage. It is understood that the contractor has not been to the sites and there are many unknowns. Most of the schools are currently under construction and it can be assumed that appropriate access is available. Every item supplied under the contract needs to be properly marked as per USAID branding and marking regulations. See Section C.7 for specific Branding & marking requirements.
