- Description
- Attachment 4 - LEO RP Terminology Attachment 3 - Sample Statement of Joint Objectives (SOJO) Attachment 2 - Project Narrative [please complete] Attachment 1 - Data Sheet LEO OTA - Synopsis-Solicitation On November 19, 2001, the President and Congress enacted ATSA, which established TSA as a new Federal agency. ATSA provides authority to the Administrator of TSA to carry out chapter 449 of Title 49 United States Code relating to civil aviation security, including responsibility for ordering the deployment of law enforcement personnel at each airport security passenger-screening location to ensure passenger safety and national security. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 44903(c) and 49 C.F.R. Part 1542, each airport operator is required to establish an air transportation security program that provides a law enforcement presence and capability at the airport that is adequate to ensure the safety of passengers. This Agreement is part of the joint effort of TSA and the airport operator to deploy sufficient LEOs in support of passenger screening activities at the checkpoint to meet their dual responsibility to ensure the safety of passengers and to counter risks to transportation security. The LEO Reimbursement Program (LEORP) in the Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal Service currently provides partial reimbursement to approximately 300 airports, via OTAs, in order to offset the costs of carrying out Aviation law enforcement responsibilities in support of passenger screening activities. The amount of partial reimbursement to these current participants is based on factors including an airport's specific security requirements, number of checkpoints and lanes, and the availability of funds. Moving forward the Program may, consistent with Congressional direction and subject to the availability of funds, increase the number of participating airports and provide reimbursement for a broader range of LEO services, to include increasing the presence of LEOs in the public areas of airports. This solicitation is issued to establish an OTA for TSA Law Enforcement Officer Reimbursement Agreement Program (LEORP). Applicants are requested to review the attached solicitation and its associated attachments (Attachments 1, 2, 3 and 4). Please review all documents carefully. Please note (refer to the attached Synopsis Solicitation): In Section 6, ARTICLE VI - AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS, funds are not presently available for this OTA. The Government's obligation under this OTA is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for OTA purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for this OTA and until the Participant receives notice of such availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer. In Section 6, ARTICLE VII - OBLIGATION AND PAYMENTS.B, it is likely that the TSA will develop a maximum rate that will be used for reimbursement purposes. Reimbursement may be at this rate or at the actual cost, whichever is the lesser of the two. This maximum rate will be based on information that will not be available until the submission review process. The TSA reserves the right to modify the maximum rate during the period of performance as necessary to optimize the impact of the program. Currently the maximum hourly rate for reimbursement is actual costs not-to-exceed $20.00/hr.
