**DEPARTMENT OF STATE**

**[Public Notice: 7305]**

**Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Request for Proposals: The**  **Design, Development, Installation, Operation, and Final Disposition of a**  **U.S. Pavilion at the International Exposition Yeosu Korea 2012** 

Announcement Type: New.
Key Dates

Application Deadline: Tuesday, March 15, 2011.
Executive Summary

The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the Department of State (Department) requests proposals from private U.S. individuals, firms, associations and organizations (for-profit or non-profit) for the design, development, installation, operation (including managing sponsorship donations and sponsorship fulfillment), and final disposition of a U.S. Pavilion at the International Exposition Yeosu Korea 2012, whose theme is ‘‘The Living Ocean and Coast.’’ The U.S. Pavilion will be situated in an approximately 1,183-square-meter module within the International Pavilions building. The Department intends to sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the proposer submitting the proposal most advantageous to the U.S. Government, authorizing that project manager to proceed with the design, development, installation, and operation of the U.S. Pavilion, and the Department would subsequently sign a Participation Contract with the Korea Expo Organizing Committee.

The Department is not authorized to provide funding for the U.S. Pavilion at Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea. The Department is authorized, however, to raise funds for the U.S. Pavilion at Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea from the private sector and will secure pledges from prospective donors (Sponsors) that have been vetted within the Department for potential conflict of interest. The Department is seeking proposals, with detailed budget estimates based on $10 (ten) million in sponsorship, and a second alternate proposal showing the project scaled back to $7 (seven) million. Sponsors have agreed to follow through on pledges by donating pledged amounts to the successful proposer, who will manage sponsorship engagement (including sponsorship donations and sponsorship fulfillment).

The successful proposer will need to have secured IRS recognition as a tax exempt organization, as well as an IRS declaration that contributions are deductible—and to have provided documentation to this effect to the Department—before the Department will sign an MOA.

Total cost for a U.S. presence at Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea is estimated to be $10 million. This will include all costs associated with the design, fabrication, installation, operation (including staffing), and final disposition of the U.S. Pavilion, as well as all support for a U.S. Commissioner General. The successful proposer will consult closely with and follow the direction of State Department officials and the Commissioner General with respect to Pavilion content and programming. The successful proposer should also consult with a design proposal review team that includes non-USG Pavilion experts plus non-USG Korea experts, such as the Korea-America Foundation or U.S. academics in Korea studies. The U.S. Pavilion shall be considered on loan to the U.S. Government for the duration of the Expo (May 12–August 12, 2012). The loan shall be treated as a gift to the U.S. Government.

Proposals from non-U.S. citizens or non-U.S.-owned firms or organizations shall be deemed ineligible for consideration. I. Funding Opportunity Description Authority

Overall authority for Department support for U.S. participation in international expositions is contained in Section 102(a)(3) of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as amended (22 U.S.C.2452(a)(3)), also known as the FulbrightHays Act. The purpose of the Act is ‘‘to enable the Government of the United States to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries * * *; to strengthen the ties which unite us with other nations by demonstrating the educational and cultural interests, developments, and achievements of the people of the United States and other nations * * * and thus to assist in the development of friendly, sympathetic and peaceful relations between the United States and the other countries of the world. ’’ Pursuant to this authority, and internal delegations of authority, ECA is the Department bureau responsible for coordinating U.S. participation in Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea. Consequently, ECA will take the lead, with the assistance of U.S. Mission to Korea, to represent the U.S. Government in dealings with the Organizing Committee of Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea.
Purpose

The Government of the Republic of Korea has invited the United States to participate in the International Exposition Yeosu Korea 2012 and the U.S. Government has advised the Korean Government of its intention to participate with an official U.S. Pavilion, subject to our ability to raise sufficient private sector funds. Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea will be held on specially constructed exhibition grounds. The Expo opens on May 12, 2012 and closes on August 12, 2012.

Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea is a smallscale international exposition or

‘‘world’s fair’’ recognized by the International Expositions Bureau (BIE), an international treaty organization established to sanction and monitor international exhibitions of long duration (over three weeks) and significant scale. Invitations to world’s fairs are extended from the host government to other governments. The United States is not a member of the BIE, and the U.S. Commissioner General—selected by the Department of State—will therefore not be a formal member of the Steering Committee of the College of Commissioners General for Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea.

With a projected eight million visitors, Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea offers
