Guatemala - Semi-Permanent Awning

The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala is soliciting quotations for the supply and installation of a semi-permanent awning and an administrative container at Km. 81.5 Carretera al Atlantico in El Progreso, Guatemala. The project requires one semi-permanent awning featuring a 20-meter frame made of high-resistance galvanized GHT tubes and a white, waterproof, flame-retardant PVC laminated canvas with UV and fungus protection. Additionally, the contractor must provide a 40-foot sea container (Class A or B) to serve as office and storage space. This container must be placed on six reinforced concrete bases, feature new concrete board subflooring, and include specific electrical installations, such as a 100-amp circuit breaker box and nine 120V outlets meeting NEMA 5-15P standards. This is a firm-fixed-price contract awarded to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror on an all-or-none basis. Proposals must be submitted in three separate volumes, including an executed SF-1442, a price proposal in USD, and a technical proposal with a performance schedule presented as a bar chart. The contractor is required to provide a Quality Assurance Plan, a Safety Plan complying with EM 385-1-1 or OSHA standards, and a one-year warranty on the canvas. Key deadlines include a site visit on August 18, 2026, and a final quotation deadline of September 12, 2026. Payment is processed net 30 days after receipt of a valid invoice, and while the government is exempt from VAT, invoices must still include VAT and be downloaded from the Virtual Agency SAT.
