- Description
- THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY NO SOLICITAION WILL BE ISSUED AGAINST THIS SYNOPSIS The purpose of this Modification 34 is to obligate $250,000 in new funding to Option Period 2 in support of Work Assignment 2-103). The period of performance for Work Assignment 2-103 will be from January 4, 2010 through December 31, 2010. Funding for WA 2-103 is $650,000. Under WA 2-103, the contractor shall provide the expertise and support to assist EPA's effort to assure an effective, legal and appropriate expenditure of ARRA funds to achieve the objectives of the economic stimulus through significant program implementation and oversight. Support tasks include assisting in: tracking the program's implementation; reviewing EPA Regional ARRA implementation efforts; assisting and training EPA Regional Offices in the oversight of State ARRA programs; training and assisting States in implementing their ARRA program including tracking and providing technical assistance to applicants; developing information to assess the successful implementation of the program; and providing reports on achievements to senior EPA and Executive Branch officials, the U.S. Congress, the water industry and other stakeholders and the general public. This modification also incorporates the newest versions of FAR 52.204-11, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - Reporting Requirements, and FAR 52.203-15, Whistleblower Protections Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) contains specific acquisition requirements that must be met when using appropriated funds from the Act, including the need for acquisitions to be in accordance with the FAR and, to the maximum extent practicable, awarded as fixed-price (FP) contracts using competitive procedures. However, the Office of Management and Budget's guidance allows for the use of other than FP contracts. Although the Agency's Office of Water (OW) contracts were not awarded as FP contracts, they were awarded competitively, and each contract structure was selected to provide the contractor with the greatest incentive for efficient and economical performance, given the types of services to be performed. The existing OW contracts have sufficient qualified acquisition personnel to provide appropriate contract administration and oversight to monitor contract performance to mitigate the Government's risk. In order to meet the requirements of the Act in the most prudent business manner within the time constraints imposed, existing OW contracts are the most appropriate contractual vehicles consistent with Agency plans that promote the goals of the ARRA.
