STATEMENT OF WORK Request for Court Reporter Services for U.S. Department of Labor Employee Benefits Security Administration 1 July 2011-30 June 2014 The Employee Benefits Security Administration seeks the services of a court reporter for the period 1 July 2011-30 June, 2012 for the following: 1. Meetings of the Advisory Council on Employee Welfare and Pension Benefit Plans (about 10 days/year) 2. Hearings on regulations (uncertain number of days) 3. Depositions (uncertain if or how often this need will arise) The common objective is to obtain transcripts of proceedings on a timely basis. It is vital that the transcript be accurate regarding speaker attribution and reasonably accurate (within standards for court proceedings and advisory committees) for the words that are spoken. The location for the transcribing services generally is 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES The court reporter services requested are as follows: Attend meetings, record proceedings, and make audio recordings available for review Transcribe recordings, with accurate speaker attribution Transmit draft transcripts electronically as a Word document within 5 days of meetings (this could vary, but will be specified before each meeting) in size 12 Courier font (normal spacing), 25 lines per page (exclusive of page number), on 8-1/2 X 11 inch paper with ruled margins of 1-3/4" at the left side and 1" at the right side Make requested corrections and print and bind final transcripts E-mail the final version in Word and pdf to EBSA Section 508 compliant Provide one original transcript and one copy by UPS delivery (within 2 days of when corrections are submitted) Provide copy of audio recording upon request DESCRIPTION OF SEPARATE TASKS The separate characteristics are as follows: The Advisory Council on Employee Welfare and Pension Benefit Plans (known as the ERISA Advisory Council) holds meetings on approximately 10 days per year. These meetings are held in a DOL conference room. One meeting is a teleconference, in which there is a DOL conference room with a speakerphone for the court reporter and the public. There are 15 members of the ERISA Advisory Council who attend the meetings. The Council invites witnesses (5-14 per day) to make presentations during the proceedings. The meeting dates will be provided when they are scheduled. The meetings generally start at 9 am and last until approximately 5:30 pm, with a one-hour break for lunch. Meetings dates will be provided when scheduled. Regulatory Hearings are held by the Employee Benefits Security Administration from time to time. These hearings may last one or two days, depending on the number of speakers. EBSA cannot project the number of hearings, nor whether there will be hearings, in any given year. The meeting dates will be provided when they are scheduled. Depositions in legal cases may be requested from time to time. The depositions may or may not occur in the Washington, DC area. It is not necessary for a court reporter providing services under this contract to provide the services outside the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The Council is subject to Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) rules, so should, if possible, provide at least one reference for work for a federal advisory committee. Also, they should indicate if they qualify as a small business, hubzone small business, emerging small business, or disabled veteran-owned small business, and provide DUNS and GSA information.
