- Description
- DRAFT PWS i3 2013 Cohort **THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS** The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) anticipates the award of a hybrid contract (the anticipated contract will contain both Cost Reimbursement and Fixed Price tasks) to provide technical assistance on the design and conduct of rigorous evaluations to the independent local evaluators of the Investing in Innovation (i3) 2013 grantees. The purpose of i3 is to expand the implementation of, and investment in, evidence-based practices and to serve as models. Another purpose of i3 is to identify and document best practices that can be shared and taken to scale based on demonstrated success. All i3 grantees are required to fund an independent local evaluation. Scale-up and Validation grantees are expected to conduct an experimental or quasi-experimental study that meets What Works Clearinghouse evidence standards with or without reservations. The Department is interested in maximizing the strength of the local evaluations and summarizing their results through the award of the anticipated contract. The anticipated contract will include a 14-month Base Period; and five successive, 14-month Option Periods to extend the technical assistance and reporting work through the completion of the FY 2013 cohort of i3 grants (and produce a final report for the FY 2012 cohort). Each of these option periods will overlap with the previous and following period by 2 months. If all five option periods are exercised, the total length of the contract will be 74 months. Please review the DRAFT i3 2013 Cohort Performance Work Statement for full details regarding the scope of work in its entirety. All questions or comments pertaining to this notice or its contents should be directed to Natasha Boyce, Contract Specialist via EMAIL ONLY at Natasha.Boyce@ed.gov; with a carbon copy to Veronica L.
