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.

AI Contract Overview

Show more

This cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, titled Recovery-Modification to TO for Production and Implementation of the CMS Hospital Outcome Efficiency Measures, tasks the contractor with developing clinical measures using registry data and future Electronic Health Record systems. The scope includes conducting ad hoc analyses, ensuring consistency with existing CMS readmission measures, and providing technical support to secure endorsement from the National Quality Forum. Due to significant uncertainties regarding data availability, the lack of common identifiers across databases, and the unpredictable nature of the NQF endorsement process, CMS determined that a cost-reimbursement structure was necessary. This approach mitigates the high risk associated with undefined data elements and the unknown amount of coordination required, which made a firm-fixed-price agreement impractical.

Full Description

Show more
CMS determined that a cost-reimbursement type contract is most appropriate for this procurement because in addition to conducting general requirements in accordance with the MIDS contract the Contractor shall conduct an ad hoc analysis for which the actual measures are not yet known. The Contractor must develop these measures using clinical data collected by registries and anticipate the use of data elements derived from the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) systems that will be employed by hospitals in the future. The use of existing clinical databases from registries presents a risk to the Contractor because which databases will be used is not known and the databases may not allow tracking using a common identifier. This may require the Contractor to match the patients in a registry with those in the Medicare database and change CMS' desired outcome of developing measures that can be applied to all-payor populations, not just the Medicare population. The contractor must also develop the measures as consistent as applicable with those already developed by CMS. This will require an unknown amount of coordination with CMS contactors responsible for other readmission measures. The Contractor must also submit the measures to the National Quality Forum (NQF) for endorsement and provide technical support during the process. Additional analyses to revise the measure methodology as requested by the NQF may be required. The fact that the clinical data and data elements are not well defined and that it is not possible for the Contractor to accurately define the amount of time it will spend during development, coordinating effort and participating in the endorsement process with NQF increases the Contractor's risk substantially making it unreasonable to expect the Contractor to provide a fair and reasonable firm-fixed price. Thus, it is in the best interest of the Government to award this Task Order as cost plus fixed fee (CPFF).
