Within E3, the Engineering and Urban Division of the Office of Energy and Infrastructure (E&I/EU) has the primary responsibility to ensure that USAID bureaus and field missions have the necessary engineering and design services and resources available to plan for and manage infrastructure projects (e.g. building structures and facilities such as schools, clinics, hospitals, roads, bridges, irrigation projects, pipelines, power plants, and water and wastewater treatment systems), in developing country environments. E&I/EU is the central point for advising regional bureaus and field missions regarding the planning and management of programs involving architect-engineer (A-E) services, construction activities, and construction management, including activity design and planning, selecting appropriate contracting approaches, ensuring adequate designs, setting in place the necessary oversight and contract supervision procedures, and, in general, assisting field missions with resolving the many challenges encountered during the life-cycle of a construction activity from planning through design and construction. E&I/EU is also has the primary responsibility for assessing, monitoring and managing USAID's risk related to construction activities.

Terms used in this General Provision are defined in 16 FAM 116 available at http://www.state.gov/m/a/dir/regs/fam/c23002.htm. Note: Personal services contractors are not eligible to participate in the Federal Employees Health Programs. (b) The regulations in the Foreign Affairs Manual, Volume 16, Chapter 520 (16 FAM 520), Responsibility for Payment of Medical Expenses, apply to this contract, except as stated below.

(c) When the contractor or eligible family member is covered by health insurance, that insurance is the primary payer for medical services provided to that contractor or eligible family member(s) both in the United States and abroad. The primary insurer's liability is determined by the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the insurance policy. When the contractor or eligible family member is not covered by health insurance, the contractor is the primary payer for the total amount of medical costs incurred and the U.S. Government has no payment obligation (see paragraph (f) of this provision). (d) USAID serves as a secondary payer for medical expenses of the contractor and eligible family members who are covered by health insurance, where the following conditions are met: (1) The illness, injury, or medical condition giving rise to the expense is incurred, caused, or materially aggravated while the eligible individual is stationed or assigned abroad; (2) The illness, injury, or medical condition giving rise to the expense required or requires hospitalization and the expense is directly related to the treatment of such illness, injury, or medical condition, including obstetrical care; and (3) The Office of Medical Services (M/MED) or a Foreign Service medical provider (FSMP) determines that the treatment is appropriate for, and directly related to, the illness, injury, or medical condition. (e) The Mission Director may, on the advice of M/MED or an FSMP at post, authorize medical travel for the contractor or an eligible family member in accordance with the General Provision 10, Travel and Transportation Expenses (July 1993), section (i) entitled - Emergency and Irregular Travel and Transportation. In the event of a medical emergency, when time does not permit consultation, the Mission Director may issue a Travel Authorization Form or Medical Services Authorization Form DS-3067, provided that the FSMP or Post Medical Advisor (PMA) is notified as soon as possible following such an issuance. The contractor must promptly file a claim with his or her medevac insurance provider and repay to USAID any amount the medevac insurer pays for medical travel, up to the amount USAID paid under this section.
