- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to The University of Rhode Island to pilot test and evaluate 4 session webinar series for professionals working with private well owners. The project leader, Alyson McCann, is known to and respected by the national community of private well water experts, lending credibility to the project. She has provided education and technical assistance to private well owners for more than 20 years. With funding from the EPA, a previous set of University of Rhode Island factsheets for private well owners were used as a model for both Extension and state health departments in New England to revise and customize for their state. There is a project team in place that has worked together for more than 5 years and has demonstrated the capacity to produce award winning materials that reflect scientific accuracy and meet evidence-based plain language standards. The team was recently awarded two 2014 clear Mark Awards of Distinction for a newly produced tip sheet series for private well owners. The plain language writer on the team is a major plain language trainer for CDC and has conducted training for NCEH. The team has experience developing and delivering health literacy/plain language curricula using a webinar format. The team has an experienced evaluator familiar with using web-based evaluation systems. The team also has the skills to conduct and analyze selected qualitative interviews.. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to William Brannen at VWL@cdc.gov by 5:00 P.M. EST. June 26th, 2014. FAR REFERENCE: FAR 5.207- Preparation and transmittal of synopses under (c)(15), (c)(16) (i), and (c)(16)(ii).
