The successful offeror will provide technical assistance to include, support in reviewing data inputs and technical support documents, develop methods and databases for benefit and risk analyses, conduct benefit analyses, conduct risk analyses, prepare profiles of affected entities, develop analysis methods and conduct economic analyses, develop control strategies and conduct emissions inventory, air quality, and control cost analyses, conduct surveys and focus group sessions, review and revise resource manual, revise analyses and related documentation, prepare docket materials and reference documents, technical and administrative support for workshops, meetings, public hearings, and peer review panels, support for responses to public comments, and conduct training on models or methods and provide support for modeling and software development.
