AI Contract Overview

This contract involved support for evaluating the National Clean Diesel Campaign’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grants, specifically focusing on assessing emissions reductions and environmental benefits resulting from ARRA-funded projects. The task order, spanning from September 2011 to December 2012, was completed with a total funding of approximately $179,930. Modification 4 of the task order deobligated $44,293.17 of ARRA funds since the work was finalized and those funds were no longer needed. Although ARRA funds typically require fixed-price and competitive contracts, the Office of Water utilized competitively awarded contracts that were not fixed-price but structured to incentivize efficient and economical performance. These contracts were managed by qualified acquisition personnel to ensure proper oversight and risk mitigation. Using existing contracts aligned with agency plans and enabled the EPA to meet ARRA requirements prudently and within set time constraints. The contracting agency involved was the Cincinnati Acquisition Division of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Full Description

THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY NO SOLICITATION WILL BE ISSUED AGAINST THIS SYNOPSIS AS THIS WORK IS NOW COMPLETED. The purpose of this Modification 4 is to deobligate $44,293.172 in ARRA funding from the task order as these funds are not anticipated to be needed at this time and all work is complete. The task order had a period of performance of September 20, 2011 through December 31, 2012. The objectives of this task order have been previously posing in www.fbo.gov. These objectives were to provide support in 1) evaluating the National Clean Diesel Campaign's (NCDC) American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) grants, 2) identifying and analyzing the actual emissions attributable to ARRA-funded projects, and 3) analyzing the environmental results and benefits of different types of ARRA projects. The total dollar value of the support provided for this task for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) projects was $179,929.83. 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.
