- Description
- THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY NO SOLICITATION WILL BE ISSUED AGAINST THIS SYNOPSIS AS THIS WORK IS ISSUED AGAINST AN EXISTING AGENCY CONTRACT. The purpose of this Modification 7 is to obligate $374,057.59 in ARRA funding in support of three work assignments under Contract EP-C-11-004. (1) Work Assignment 0-100 is funded to $1,373,447.22. The period of performance for this work assignment will be from January 1, 2011 through November 30, 2011. (2) Work Assignment 0-105 is funded to $269,530. The period of performance for this work assignment will be from January 1, 2011 through November 30, 2011. (3) Work Assignment 0-106 is funded to $113,080.37. The period of performance for this work assignment will be from April 28, 2011 through November 30, 2011. The objective of Work Assignment 0-100 is for the contractor to provide support to EPA's Office of Water in management and oversight of ARRA funds provided to the CWSRF and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) programs. Management and oversight of the CWSRF and DWSRF ARRA funds will include assisting EPA Headquarters and EPA Regional Offices in the review and auditing of State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs of individual states to ensure proper use of ARRA funds and compliance with ARRA requirements. The objective of Work Assignment 0-105 is for the contractor to provide services for the management of the CWSRF Benefits Reporting (CBR) Database for tracking ARRA funds, to include, data definition updates and providing technical assistance to States and EPA Regions. The contractor shall provide technical assistance to facilitate reporting transparency, and develop, update, and expand a portfolio of reports on the environmental and economic impact of CWSRF loans made with ARRA funds. The objective of Work Assignment 0-106 is for the contractor to provide data up-dating, data processing, report generation, development of the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Financial Statement Module. The contractor shall also provide training services in support of the Drinking Water National Information Management System (DWNIMS). The training will support EPA's ability to implement and promote the participation of DWSRF programs in inputting data for the generation of national statistics and reports and better manage the DWSRF program. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) contains specific acquisition requirements that must be met when using appropriated funds from the Act, including the need for acquisitions to be in accordance with the FAR and, to the maximum extent practicable, awarded as fixed-price (FP) contracts using competitive procedures. However, the Office of Management and Budget's guidance allows for the use of other than FP contracts. Although the Agency's Office of Water (OW) contracts were not awarded as FP contracts, they were awarded competitively, and each contract structure was selected to provide the contractor with the greatest incentive for efficient and economical performance, given the types of services to be performed. The existing OW contracts have sufficient qualified acquisition personnel to provide appropriate contract administration and oversight to monitor contract performance to mitigate the Government's risk. In order to meet the requirements of the Act in the most prudent business manner within the time constraints imposed, existing OW contracts are the most appropriate contractual vehicles consistent with Agency plans that promote the goals of the ARRA.
