Solicitation # 26-122
The City of Delta is issuing solicitation 26-122 to establish a shortlist of qualified archaeology firms to provide professional consulting services on an as-and-when-requested basis. The scope of work includes archaeological investigation, monitoring, reporting, and permitting for various infrastructure and development projects, such as road upgrades and utility replacements, within the City of Delta. All services must comply with the Heritage Conservation Act, and firms must demonstrate eligibility to hold provincial permits, including Multi Assessment Permits and Site Alteration Permits. Key deliverables involve field assessments, coordination with the Provincial Archaeology Branch and First Nations, and the provision of heritage management training for City staff. The selection process utilizes a two-stage qualification method. To be considered, respondents must meet all mandatory criteria, including the timely submission of a signed Proposal Covering Letter. Qualified firms will be evaluated based on proponent capability and experience (50%), methodology (25%), and fees (25%), with minimum scores required for the first two categories. The City emphasizes the importance of professional certification, requiring at least one team member to be in good standing with a recognized organization like the British Columbia Association of Professional Archaeologists. Preference is given to consulting team members with five years of experience and lead archaeologists with ten years of experience. The resulting shortlist will remain valid until January 1, 2025, or for three years from the closing date. Once the list is established, the City will invite these qualified respondents to submit firm-priced tenders for specific projects. Proposals must be submitted as a single PDF to the purchasing department by 2:00 PM Pacific time on November 16, 2026. The pricing structure for the qualification stage includes hourly rates for principal archaeologists, field directors, technicians, and support staff, as well as lump sum rates for permit applications.

This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action Synopsis. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) intends to issue a new non-competitive contract to the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) pursuant to the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This action is currently subject to the availability of funds. CMS intends to utilize the unique services of NCQA to transition to Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS) measures for the Long-Term Services and Supports Programs (LTSS) measures (Medicaid Managed Care and Fee-for-Service) and the Home and Community-Based measures (Functional Assessment Standardized Items (FASI), The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Home and Community-Based (HCBS CAHPS) Scorecard, Medicaid Innovation Accelerator Program (IAP) measures and new measures under development) and the HEDIS ECDS Reporting Standard. Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS) Measure Access and Technical Support The contractor shall provide and maintain an information system and IT infrastructure to collect and support submission of NCQA measures data for healthcare plans and generate a database to include health plan names, descriptive information, plan-specific HEDIS and CAHPS performance measurement data, health plan ratings and national, regional and state averages and percentiles. In addition to providing healthcare plans with data submission tools and instructions with detailed technical specifications for submitting NCQA measures, the contractor must facilitate and provide technical support and assistance to individual healthcare plans, as they submit data according to the plan's requirements. The contractor will be supporting CMS in the collection and management of the annual HEDIS transition to Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS) measures for the Long-Term Services and Supports Programs (LTSS) measures (Medicaid Managed Care and Fee-for-Service) and the Home and Community-Based measures (Functional Assessment Standardized Items (FASI), The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Home and Community-Based (HCBS CAHPS) Scorecard, Medicaid Innovation Accelerator Program (IAP) measures and new measures under development). The HEDIS ECDS Reporting Standard provides health plans a method to collect and report structured electronic clinical data for HEDIS quality measurement and quality improvement. NCQA owns the proprietary rights to the system that collects HEDIS data. It is the only organization authorized to add measurements and to provide technical assistance to the health plans and auditors in the use of these measurements. NCQA performs this function by convening a number of interdisciplinary multi-stakeholder panels and groups. These groups are all widely respected by the managed care industry and have stakeholder representation. Since NCQA develops the measures and makes all of the updates to HEDIS, it is uniquely qualified to provide the needed technical assistance to health plans and auditors during data collection. As the organization that maintains and evolves HEDIS, NCQA is the only responsible source for this activity. In 1993, NCQA released HEDIS 2.0 that quickly became the - industry standard performance measurement set. Originally designed for private employers' needs as purchasers of healthcare, HEDIS has been adapted for use by public purchasers, Government compliance monitors, and managed care consumers. HEDIS data submission tools and detailed technical specifications are developed and maintained by NCQA. There will be focus on the collection and management of the annual HEDIS transition to Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS) measures for the Long-Term Services and Supports Programs (LTSS) measures (Medicaid Managed Care and Fee-for-Service) and the Home and Community-Based measures (Functional Assessment Standardized Items (FASI), The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Home and Community-Based (HCBS CAHPS) Scorecard, Medicaid Innovation Accelerator Program (IAP) measures and new measures under development). The ECDS Reporting Standard provides health plans a method to collect and report structured electronic clinical data for HEDIS quality measurement and quality improvement. NCQA retains sole title and ownership of the HEDIS based measures data. The contract's period of performance will be a base year plus four (4) option years. This notice is a notice of intent to negotiate and award a contract to NCQA and should not be considered a request for proposals. This synopsis should not be construed as commitment by the Government for any purpose other than market research. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement that will be considered by the agency. Such statements must demonstrate that the firm(s) has the capability to perform the required work. All capability statements must be submitted via email to Heather Parr-Stewart Lang at Heather.Parr-StewartLang@cms.hhs.gov on or before 1:00 pm est October 27, 2022.
