3. Scope and Requirements:

The support services that the dose reconstruction contractor shall be expected to provide are listed below. It is expected that this level of support shall be required during the base year and during each option year. While the number of cases to be processed on an annual basis is subject to fluctuation, offerors shall prepare their proposals assuming that 3,320 dose reconstructions shall be required each year (64 per week for 52 weeks). Additionally, the contractor shall be required to review previously completed dose reconstruction reports to determine if changes made in methodology or new data affects the outcome of the case. These reviews do not require a fully documented dose reconstruction unless the claim’s compensability decision is likely to switch from non-compensable to compensable. It should be assumed that a weekly average of approximately 25 such evaluations need to be completed. It should be understood that this is not a guarantee of this level of effort, but a target value that will facilitate comparison of proposals. Offerors should assume that, for each year of the contract, 5 SEC petitions shall be filed, and claims shall be received from 5 sites with no claims previously submitted. Site research shall be required for those situations. Technical approaches and some calculational tools from sites that have been researched prior to this award will be made available to the successful offeror by NIOSH.

All documents that describe radiation exposures, radiological operations, radiological conditions, and other information useful to performing dose reconstruction, evaluating SEC petitions, or performing other functions of the project will be stored in the SRD (Site Research Database). The SRD contains documents that relate to U.S. DOE and AWE (Atomic Weapons Energy) sites. These documents can include, but are not limited to, general overview documents, publications for a site that describe a particular process or operation, or reports from a site addressing particular issues such as specific contaminants to which some workers might have been exposed. Project personnel populate and use the database to develop and write Technical Basis Documents (TBDs) and Technical Information Bulletins (TIBs), as well as to perform dose reconstructions.

Information relevant to individual claims will be stored in the NIOSH OCAS (Office of Compensation Analysis and Support) Claims Tracking System (NOCTS). NOCTS was developed to track the claims made under EEOICPA. The NOCTS application tracks claimant data and documents, and is thus a central repository for all information related to each claim. The web-based interface allows the application to be accessed by any computer equipped with Internet connection and browser software. The primary goal of NOCTS is to facilitate the processing of claims in an efficient and accurate manner. The application also provides an instrument for effective and timely communications with claimants during this process. Another goal is to establish and maintain interagency communications among all the parties involved in the claims process.

1.0 Identify data relevant to reconstructing radiation doses and evaluating SEC petitions

1.1 Data collection related to claims and petitions: The contractor shall collect all known sources of recorded dosimetry, radiation data, and relevant information applicable to completing dose reconstructions for individual claimants and evaluating SEC petitions from classes of employees. This task shall include the following:

1.1.1 NIOSH will request from DOE and provide to the contractor individual exposure information for claimants. In coordination with NIOSH and with the cooperation of DOE, the contractor shall request from DOE (as necessary) and other entities supplemental information applicable to individual claims or petitions to supplement any such information in the NIOSH claims database. The collection of this information shall be conducted under a Memorandum of Understanding that has been established between HHS and DOE (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/ocasdoe.html#mou or http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/pdfs/misc/moudoe.pdf).

1.1.2 The contractor shall synthesize information related to dose reconstruction feasibility into Professional Judgment Papers and Petition Evaluation Reports, providing the basis for the feasibility or infeasibility of constructing radiation dose. Professional Judgment Papers evaluate the bases provided with the SEC petition to determine if they meet the criteria in 42 CFR 83 for a valid petition, i.e. to determine if the petition qualifies. Petition Evaluation Reports are prepared once petitions are qualified and they evaluate the existing information to determine if it is sufficient to perform dose reconstructions for the proposed class. Additional information about the SEC process and examples of Petition Evaluation Reports can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/ocassec.html.

1.1.3 The contractor shall maintain a local office in Cincinnati, Ohio to abstract, enter, or migrate necessary information from DOE and other records into the Site Research Database or NIOSH OCAS Claims Tracking System for use in dose reconstructions or other purposes.

1.1.4 The contractor shall monitor the completeness and timeliness of record/information acquisition from DOE and other sources, inform NIOSH, on a monthly basis, of delays, their causes, and involve NIOSH as necessary to obtain their timely resolution.

1.2 Dose reconstruction research: The contractor shall research the conditions, processes, practices, and incidents at DOE and AWE facilities relevant to conducting dose reconstructions. This task shall include the following:

1.2.1 The contractor shall review and analyze records from DOE and AWEs, which will be useful to interpret recorded dosimetry information, to evaluate the adequacy and completeness of dosimetry information, and to substitute for unavailable or incomplete dosimetry information. Plans for site visits and the research to be performed during a site visit must be approved by NIOSH. It is likely that 50 site data capture visits may be required each year.

1.2.2 With the cooperation of DOE and assistance of worker representatives and others, the contractor shall identify and interview current and former DOE/AWE facility line managers, radiation protection personnel, individual workers, and others as appropriate, and analyze the results of these interviews to interpret recorded dosimetry information, to evaluate the adequacy and completeness of dosimetry information, and to substitute for unavailable or incomplete dosimetry information. The extent of these efforts shall be coordinated with and approved by NIOSH prior to initiation of contact with DOE or DOE contractor personnel.

1.2.3 As agreed upon between NIOSH and the contractor, the contractor shall develop statistical procedures and assumptions based on dose reconstruction research that can be applied in multiple dose reconstructions, including but not limited to dose reconstructions for employees in specific jobs, performing specific tasks, employed in specific facilities or sites, and related to specific time periods of employment. These statistical procedures will include methods to estimate the uncertainty distributions surrounding internal and external dose reconstructions on a facility specific and time-dependent basis. NIOSH will review and approve such procedures and assumptions. Technical Information Bulletins ORAUT-OTIB-0019 Rev-01, “Analysis of Coworker Bioassay Data for Internal Dose Assignment, ” and ORAUT-OTIB–0020 Re-03, “Use of Coworker Dosimetry Date for External Dose Assignment,” describe these techniques ( http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/tibsnum.html).

1.2.4 The contractor shall produce and submit to NIOSH reports summarizing methods, data sources, and findings of research on facilities on a schedule specified by NIOSH as the need for the report is identified.

1.2.5 The contractor shall research and analyze information pertaining to sites, claims, and dose reconstruction processes in response to questions and technical issues raised about the EEOICPA program by the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health. Results of these efforts will be provided as scheduled by NIOSH.

2.0 Claimant communications

2.1 As directed under 42 CFR 82 and consistent with NIOSH technical guides and procedures, conduct, record, transmit to NIOSH, and report to claimants the results of computer assisted telephone interviews (CATIs) with claimants and, as appropriate, with co-workers and other potential witnesses. Three scripts that cover interviews with claimants who are covered employees, survivors, or co-workers have been prepared. They can be found under Attachments in Section J – J.6. Since these scripts have been reviewed and approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, any substantive changes shall require approval by OMB. NIOSH will provide a usable computerized version of these scripts. The contractor may, however, with review and approval from NIOSH, convert these scripts to a computer program that facilitates more efficient data storage and retrieval.

2.2 The contractor shall produce and provide for review by the claimant/interviewee reports of interviews, and enter final reports and their elements as a case file into the claims database no less frequently than weekly.

2.3 The contractor shall obtain and enter into the claimant interview case file and research database additional information as may be provided by the claimant in writing to supplement the claim record.

2.4 The contractor shall conduct close-out interviews with claimants once they have received their draft dose reconstruction reports in order to answer questions about the dose reconstruction and to explain the next steps in the claim process.

2.5 Although not part of the interview process, the contractor must provide a toll free telephone line to address claimants questions within 30 days of award. This shall be in addition to the claimant telephone support service that NIOSH is currently offering.

2.6 The contractor shall correspond with claimants informing them that their dose reconstruction has been scheduled once all the information necessary to perform the dose reconstruction has been received, but not before.

2.7 The contractor shall designate a point of contact within its organization who is responsible for resolving issues and answering questions from communications with claimants by either NIOSH or the contractor. This point of contact shall have the organizational authority necessary to resolve issues between sub-organizations within the contractor’s organization in order to provide resolutions and answers.

2.8 When the contractor receives information from a claimant that affects the normal progress of the claim (e.g., identifies an additional cancer not listed on the claim, provides information that affects the draft dose reconstruction, etc.) the contractor shall notify NIOSH’s Claimant Information and Communication Team of the reason for the interruption in claim progress. Information of this nature that is received by NIOSH will be communicated promptly to the contractor. In all cases the contractor shall communicate the resolution to the claimant.

2.9 Contractor shall provide CATI and close out interview for every claimant for whom a dose reconstruction is performed unless claimant declines to participate. Some claims have multiple claimants, so the number of claimants is larger than the number of dose reconstructions that must be completed. Contractor should plan to complete 1.5 CATIs and close out interviews per dose reconstruction, or 96 CATIs and close out interviews per week.

3.0 Dose estimation and reporting

3.1 As directed under 42 CFR Part 82 and consistent with NIOSH Implementation Guides for Internal and External Dose Reconstruction (located at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/ocasdose.html#process), andTechnical Information Bulletins and procedures (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/ocastbds.html http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/ocasppg.html ), the contractor shall produce and report timely dose estimates, supporting methodology, and factual basis for each claim received by NIOSH from DOL under EEOICPA and for claims requiring re-work because of changes in claim information or changes in dose reconstruction policy (estimated at 3320 dose reconstructions and re-works annually).

3.2 The contractor shall collect and analyze all available information relevant to dose estimation/reconstruction for each individual claim and produce and transmit to NIOSH a draft report providing dose estimates, methods, and the factual basis upon which the doses were estimated, including a narrative explanation of this information understandable by claimants with a high school education. An example dose reconstruction report will be included as an attachment under Section J – J.7.

3.2.1 Internal and external radiation dose estimates shall be calculated for each organ that the claimant presents with a primary cancer. The annual dose to each organ shall be calculated from the time of first exposure at a covered facility to the date of cancer diagnosis. As appropriate, a separate dose shall be computed for each type of radiation exposure received by the individual, using the exposure types provide for in the NIOSH-Interactive Radio Epidemiological Program (IREP) program. These doses shall be reported as equivalent dose using the weighting factors provided in the NIOSH technical guides. As part of NIOSH’s ongoing Quality Assurance (QA) program, the contractor may be provided blind test claims on a periodic basis.

3.2.2 Internal dose calculations shall be performed using standard metabolic models published by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). These calculations shall be performed using a NIOSH supplied computer program entitled Integrated Module for Bioassay Analysis (IMBA) or other NIOSH approved programs. IMBA was specially created for NIOSH to perform internal dose calculations using the most recent physiologically based biokinetic models such as those contained in ICRP publications 56, 67, and 69. Inhalation intakes shall be evaluated using the respiratory tract model contained in ICRP publication 66. The contractor shall not have access to the source code. Any contractor developed software used for calculating internal dose must be approved by NIOSH prior to its use in dose reconstructions and NIOSH must have access to the program and source code. Any contractor purchased software used for calculating internal dose must be approved by NIOSH prior to its use in dose reconstructions.

Within 30 days of award, NIOSH will provide training on the IMBA software for key contractor personnel who are not familiar with the software. Within 30 days after receiving training from NIOSH, the contractor shall be responsible for providing and documenting training to members of its technical team who shall be involved in conducting dose reconstructions and are not already familiar with the software.

3.2.3 Estimates of missed dose, due to technical limitations in monitoring technology, shall be evaluated and included in the claimant’s dose reconstruction for both internal and external sources of exposure. In addition, any exposure to diagnostic x rays that were required as a condition of employment shall be estimated and included in the claimant’s total organ dose.

3.3 The contractor shall review with NIOSH and revise dose reconstructions, as necessary, subject to NIOSH oversight of the dose reconstruction program.

3.4 The contractor shall develop statistical procedures and assumptions that may have application for multiple dose reconstructions, including but not limited to dose reconstructions for employees in specific jobs, performing specific tasks, employed in specific facilities or sites, and related to specific time periods of employment. NIOSH will review and approve these procedures and assumptions before they are used to complete dose reconstructions.

4.0 Prepare Special Exposure Cohort petition evaluations

4.1 In accordance with 42 CFR 83 and procedure OCAS-PR-004 Rev. 1, “Internal Procedures for the Evaluation of Special Exposure Cohort Petitions,” (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/secmisc.html orhttp://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/pdfs/dr/dc-ig-005-r0.pdf) the contractor shall process and evaluate petitions received from individuals for the addition of classes to the SEC, and shall initiate the addition of classes when there is not adequate information to reconstruct radiation doses with sufficient accuracy.

4.2 The contractor shall process and evaluate petitions received from individuals for additions of classes to the SEC (the 83.13 process).

4.2.1 With the approval of NIOSH, the contractor shall communicate with the petition submitter as necessary in order to obtain the information required in 42 CFR 83 for a petition. Some petitions may be sufficient upon initial receipt, but NIOSH expects that every petition will require communication of this type to obtain information required by 42 CFR 83.

4.2.2 The contractor shall determine whether the information ultimately submitted with a petition meets the requirements in 42 CFR 83 and therefore qualifies for evaluation. Contractor shall document the basis for this determination in a professional judgment and submit it to NIOSH.

4.2.3 For petitions that qualify for evaluation, the contractor shall provide a list of the types of apparent data deficiencies that could potentially make dose reconstructions infeasible, along with the research efforts that the contractor shall pursue to remedy each apparent data deficiency, and shall submit the list to NIOSH for review and approval. The schedule for delivering the list will be established by NIOSH upon qualification of a petition, depending on the complexity of the petition.

4.2.4 The contractor shall research information relevant to the feasibility of the dose reconstruction for members of the class; reach determinations about the feasibility of reconstructing doses for members of the class and the potential that members of the class were harmed by their exposure; document those determinations in a petition evaluation report; and submit the petition evaluation report to NIOSH for review and approval. The petition evaluation report must be completed and approved by NIOSH within 180 days from the date the petition was originally submitted to NIOSH, not counting days when NIOSH and the contractor are awaiting additional information from the submitter in order to fulfill the petition qualification requirements of 42 CFR 83.

4.2.5 The contractor shall provide additional research and revision to petition evaluation reports to respond to questions raised by the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health (“the Board”). NIOSH anticipates that every petition evaluation report will prompt questions from the Board. Such questions have required detailed follow-up analysis of complex issues such as monitoring program adequacy, technical performance of internal and external dosimetry systems, and characterization of the radiation fields present at sites being evaluated.

4.3 The contractor shall identify classes of workers for whom there is inadequate information to perform dose reconstruction with sufficient accuracy, and initiate adding those classes to the SEC (the 83.14 process).

4.3.1 The contractor shall identify potential classes for whom dose reconstruction is not feasible, and shall document the basis for that determination. Classes may comprise any portion of the employees at a covered facility and any portion of the duration of the covered period. The class definition and basis for finding it infeasible to reconstruct radiation doses shall be submitted to NIOSH for review and approval.

4.3.2 The contractor shall propose a representative claimant from each 83.14 class for NIOSH approval. Upon NIOSH approval of a representative claimant, contractor shall prepare communications to that claimant about the infeasibility of dose reconstruction and the 83.14 SEC process.

4.3.3 The contractor shall prepare a petition evaluation report that documents the basis for finding dose reconstruction infeasible for members of the class and submit the petition evaluation report to NIOSH for review and approval.

4.3.4 The contractor shall provide additional research and revision to petition evaluation reports to respond to questions raised by the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health. NIOSH expects that every petition evaluation report will prompt questions from the Board.

5.0 Technical and program management support

5.1 Technical support: Provide information and analyses to NIOSH to review individual dose reconstructions, dose reconstruction procedures and practices, or SEC petition evaluations, or to respond to requests by DOL, the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health, Congress, or other stakeholders, and to support NIOSH management in the dose reconstruction and SEC petition evaluation program. This task shall include the following:

5.1.1 The contractor shall prepare and provide analyses, information and reports to NIOSH in response to reviews of individual dose reconstructions requested by DOL in the adjudication of claims. NIOSH expects four of these requests per year.

5.1.2 The contractor shall prepare and provide analyses, information, and reports to NIOSH in response to reviews of dose reconstructions, dose reconstruction procedures, technical documents such as TechnicalInformation Bulletins or technical basis documents, or SEC petition evaluations under EEOICPA by the Advisory Board and other external organizations that may conduct scientific or technical reviews, such as the National Academy of Sciences and the Government Accountability Office. NIOSH expects that the Advisory Board will review and comment on 60 dose reconstruction reports, 8 technical basis documents, and 15 procedures and Technical Information Bulletins (combined) each year. Total requests from other bodies is expected to be four per year.

5.1.3 The contractor shall prepare and provide analyses, information, and reports to NIOSH in support of Congressional briefings and in response to Congressional inquiries. NIOSH expects to request contractor assistance for responding to one Congressional inquiry per week and six briefings per year. Inquiries address individual cases, while briefings address program status and site specific information for a single or few sites (e.g., those from a single state).

5.1.4 Within 30 days of award, the contractor shall establish practices for using the NIOSH OCAS Claims Tracking System (NOCTS). Any supplementary tracking system established by the contractor must be compatible with and provide current information to NOCTS to support reporting of dose reconstruction process status to claimants.

5.1.5 The contractor shall provide records to NIOSH such that NIOSH can comply with requests for records under the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act. NIOSH expects to request contractor assistance in approximately twelve such requests per year.

5.2 Program management support: The contractor shall provide comprehensive program management support to NIOSH. This task shall include the following:

5.2.1 Within 60 days of award, the contractor shall develop and implement a written project management plan and submit it to NIOSH for review and approval. The project management plan shall define the organizational structure, management approach, requirements, and tools for planning, implementing, and monitoring work practices which shall be used to complete radiation dose reconstructions and to evaluate submissions and petitions for the addition of classes to the SEC.

5.2.2 Within 90 days of award, the contractor shall develop, implement and maintain a written quality assurance program for the overall project. The quality assurance program documentation shall describe the organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority, and interfaces for those personnel managing, performing, and assessing the adequacy of work performed as part of this contract.

5.2.3 Within 90 days of award, the contractor shall develop and enact procedures for implementing “NIOSH Policy on the Appearance of Bias for the EEOICPA Program & General Conflict of Interest Requirements”, (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/ocascobs.html or http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/pdfs/dr/aobplcy-v2.pdf). Copies of those procedures shall be provided to NIOSH at that time.

5.2.4 The contractor shall prepare and submit to NIOSH monthly performance reports and quarterly cost reports covering all tasks under this contract. The monthly performance report shall include but need not be limited to: the number of dose reconstruction reports submitted to NIOSH for approval; a list of the procedures, technical information bulletins, technical basis documents, or other documents submitted to NIOSH for approval; A list of SEC professional judgment papers and petition evaluation reports submitted to NIOSH for approval; any other products delivered; a status report of information gathering efforts (those completed, underway, and planned), to include document capture efforts, site visits, worker and site expert interviews; a description of issues that must be addressed in order to complete required activities; and a description of the work accomplished and work in progress under the contract.

5.2.5 The contractor shall participate in person or by teleconference in project status meetings with DCAS and other topical meetings convened by DCAS. Project status meetings shall be scheduled at mutually agreeable times but shall be no less frequent than bi-monthly.

5.2.6 The contractor shall conduct semiannual program reviews and provide the results of these reviews to NIOSH.

3. Scope and Requirements:

The support services that the dose reconstruction contractor shall be expected to provide are listed below. It is expected that this level of support shall be required during the base year and during each option year. While the number of cases to be processed on an annual basis is subject to fluctuation, offerors shall prepare their proposals assuming that 3,320 dose reconstructions shall be required each year (64 per week for 52 weeks). Additionally, the contractor shall be required to review previously completed dose reconstruction reports to determine if changes made in methodology or new data affects the outcome of the case. These reviews do not require a fully documented dose reconstruction unless the claim’s compensability decision is likely to switch from non-compensable to compensable. It should be assumed that a weekly average of approximately 25 such evaluations need to be completed. It should be understood that this is not a guarantee of this level of effort, but a target value that will facilitate comparison of proposals. Offerors should assume that, for each year of the contract, 5 SEC petitions shall be filed, and claims shall be received from 5 sites with no claims previously submitted. Site research shall be required for those situations. Technical approaches and some calculational tools from sites that have been researched prior to this award will be made available to the successful offeror by NIOSH.

All documents that describe radiation exposures, radiological operations, radiological conditions, and other information useful to performing dose reconstruction, evaluating SEC petitions, or performing other functions of the project will be stored in the SRD (Site Research Database). The SRD contains documents that relate to U.S. DOE and AWE (Atomic Weapons Energy) sites. These documents can include, but are not limited to, general overview documents, publications for a site that describe a particular process or operation, or reports from a site addressing particular issues such as specific contaminants to which some workers might have been exposed. Project personnel populate and use the database to develop and write Technical Basis Documents (TBDs) and Technical Information Bulletins (TIBs), as well as to perform dose reconstructions.

Information relevant to individual claims will be stored in the NIOSH OCAS (Office of Compensation Analysis and Support) Claims Tracking System (NOCTS). NOCTS was developed to track the claims made under EEOICPA. The NOCTS application tracks claimant data and documents, and is thus a central repository for all information related to each claim. The web-based interface allows the application to be accessed by any computer equipped with Internet connection and browser software. The primary goal of NOCTS is to facilitate the processing of claims in an efficient and accurate manner. The application also provides an instrument for effective and timely communications with claimants during this process. Another goal is to establish and maintain interagency communications among all the parties involved in the claims process.

1.0 Identify data relevant to reconstructing radiation doses and evaluating SEC petitions

1.1 Data collection related to claims and petitions: The contractor shall collect all known sources of recorded dosimetry, radiation data, and relevant information applicable to completing dose reconstructions for individual claimants and evaluating SEC petitions from classes of employees. This task shall include the following:

1.1.1 NIOSH will request from DOE and provide to the contractor individual exposure information for claimants. In coordination with NIOSH and with the cooperation of DOE, the contractor shall request from DOE (as necessary) and other entities supplemental information applicable to individual claims or petitions to supplement any such information in the NIOSH claims database. The collection of this information shall be conducted under a Memorandum of Understanding that has been established between HHS and DOE (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/ocasdoe.html#mou or http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/pdfs/misc/moudoe.pdf).

1.1.2 The contractor shall synthesize information related to dose reconstruction feasibility into Professional Judgment Papers and Petition Evaluation Reports, providing the basis for the feasibility or infeasibility of constructing radiation dose. Professional Judgment Papers evaluate the bases provided with the SEC petition to determine if they meet the criteria in 42 CFR 83 for a valid petition, i.e. to determine if the petition qualifies. Petition Evaluation Reports are prepared once petitions are qualified and they evaluate the existing information to determine if it is sufficient to perform dose reconstructions for the proposed class. Additional information about the SEC process and examples of Petition Evaluation Reports can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/ocassec.html.

1.1.3 The contractor shall maintain a local office in Cincinnati, Ohio to abstract, enter, or migrate necessary information from DOE and other records into the Site Research Database or NIOSH OCAS Claims Tracking System for use in dose reconstructions or other purposes.

1.1.4 The contractor shall monitor the completeness and timeliness of record/information acquisition from DOE and other sources, inform NIOSH, on a monthly basis, of delays, their causes, and involve NIOSH as necessary to obtain their timely resolution.

1.2 Dose reconstruction research: The contractor shall research the conditions, processes, practices, and incidents at DOE and AWE facilities relevant to conducting dose reconstructions. This task shall include the following:

1.2.1 The contractor shall review and analyze records from DOE and AWEs, which will be useful to interpret recorded dosimetry information, to evaluate the adequacy and completeness of dosimetry information, and to substitute for unavailable or incomplete dosimetry information. Plans for site visits and the research to be performed during a site visit must be approved by NIOSH. It is likely that 50 site data capture visits may be required each year.

1.2.2 With the cooperation of DOE and assistance of worker representatives and others, the contractor shall identify and interview current and former DOE/AWE facility line managers, radiation protection personnel, individual workers, and others as appropriate, and analyze the results of these interviews to interpret recorded dosimetry information, to evaluate the adequacy and completeness of dosimetry information, and to substitute for unavailable or incomplete dosimetry information. The extent of these efforts shall be coordinated with and approved by NIOSH prior to initiation of contact with DOE or DOE contractor personnel.

1.2.3 As agreed upon between NIOSH and the contractor, the contractor shall develop statistical procedures and assumptions based on dose reconstruction research that can be applied in multiple dose reconstructions, including but not limited to dose reconstructions for employees in specific jobs, performing specific tasks, employed in specific facilities or sites, and related to specific time periods of employment. These statistical procedures will include methods to estimate the uncertainty distributions surrounding internal and external dose reconstructions on a facility specific and time-dependent basis. NIOSH will review and approve such procedures and assumptions. Technical Information Bulletins ORAUT-OTIB-0019 Rev-01, “Analysis of Coworker Bioassay Data for Internal Dose Assignment, ” and ORAUT-OTIB–0020 Re-03, “Use of Coworker Dosimetry Date for External Dose Assignment,” describe these techniques ( http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/tibsnum.html).

1.2.4 The contractor shall produce and submit to NIOSH reports summarizing methods, data sources, and findings of research on facilities on a schedule specified by NIOSH as the need for the report is identified.

1.2.5 The contractor shall research and analyze information pertaining to sites, claims, and dose reconstruction processes in response to questions and technical issues raised about the EEOICPA program by the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health. Results of these efforts will be provided as scheduled by NIOSH.

2.0 Claimant communications

2.1 As directed under 42 CFR 82 and consistent with NIOSH technical guides and procedures, conduct, record, transmit to NIOSH, and report to claimants the results of computer assisted telephone interviews (CATIs) with claimants and, as appropriate, with co-workers and other potential witnesses. Three scripts that cover interviews with claimants who are covered employees, survivors, or co-workers have been prepared. They can be found under Attachments in Section J – J.6. Since these scripts have been reviewed and approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, any substantive changes shall require approval by OMB. NIOSH will provide a usable computerized version of these scripts. The contractor may, however, with review and approval from NIOSH, convert these scripts to a computer program that facilitates more efficient data storage and retrieval.

2.2 The contractor shall produce and provide for review by the claimant/interviewee reports of interviews, and enter final reports and their elements as a case file into the claims database no less frequently than weekly.

2.3 The contractor shall obtain and enter into the claimant interview case file and research database additional information as may be provided by the claimant in writing to supplement the claim record.

2.4 The contractor shall conduct close-out interviews with claimants once they have received their draft dose reconstruction reports in order to answer questions about the dose reconstruction and to explain the next steps in the claim process.

2.5 Although not part of the interview process, the contractor must provide a toll free telephone line to address claimants questions within 30 days of award. This shall be in addition to the claimant telephone support service that NIOSH is currently offering.

2.6 The contractor shall correspond with claimants informing them that their dose reconstruction has been scheduled once all the information necessary to perform the dose reconstruction has been received, but not before.

2.7 The contractor shall designate a point of contact within its organization who is responsible for resolving issues and answering questions from communications with claimants by either NIOSH or the contractor. This point of contact shall have the organizational authority necessary to resolve issues between sub-organizations within the contractor’s organization in order to provide resolutions and answers.

2.8 When the contractor receives information from a claimant that affects the normal progress of the claim (e.g., identifies an additional cancer not listed on the claim, provides information that affects the draft dose reconstruction, etc.) the contractor shall notify NIOSH’s Claimant Information and Communication Team of the reason for the interruption in claim progress. Information of this nature that is received by NIOSH will be communicated promptly to the contractor. In all cases the contractor shall communicate the resolution to the claimant.

2.9 Contractor shall provide CATI and close out interview for every claimant for whom a dose reconstruction is performed unless claimant declines to participate. Some claims have multiple claimants, so the number of claimants is larger than the number of dose reconstructions that must be completed. Contractor should plan to complete 1.5 CATIs and close out interviews per dose reconstruction, or 96 CATIs and close out interviews per week.

3.0 Dose estimation and reporting

3.1 As directed under 42 CFR Part 82 and consistent with NIOSH Implementation Guides for Internal and External Dose Reconstruction (located at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/ocasdose.html#process), andTechnical Information Bulletins and procedures (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/ocastbds.html http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/ocasppg.html ), the contractor shall produce and report timely dose estimates, supporting methodology, and factual basis for each claim received by NIOSH from DOL under EEOICPA and for claims requiring re-work because of changes in claim information or changes in dose reconstruction policy (estimated at 3320 dose reconstructions and re-works annually).

3.2 The contractor shall collect and analyze all available information relevant to dose estimation/reconstruction for each individual claim and produce and transmit to NIOSH a draft report providing dose estimates, methods, and the factual basis upon which the doses were estimated, including a narrative explanation of this information understandable by claimants with a high school education. An example dose reconstruction report will be included as an attachment under Section J – J.7.

3.2.1 Internal and external radiation dose estimates shall be calculated for each organ that the claimant presents with a primary cancer. The annual dose to each organ shall be calculated from the time of first exposure at a covered facility to the date of cancer diagnosis. As appropriate, a separate dose shall be computed for each type of radiation exposure received by the individual, using the exposure types provide for in the NIOSH-Interactive Radio Epidemiological Program (IREP) program. These doses shall be reported as equivalent dose using the weighting factors provided in the NIOSH technical guides. As part of NIOSH’s ongoing Quality Assurance (QA) program, the contractor may be provided blind test claims on a periodic basis.

3.2.2 Internal dose calculations shall be performed using standard metabolic models published by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). These calculations shall be performed using a NIOSH supplied computer program entitled Integrated Module for Bioassay Analysis (IMBA) or other NIOSH approved programs. IMBA was specially created for NIOSH to perform internal dose calculations using the most recent physiologically based biokinetic models such as those contained in ICRP publications 56, 67, and 69. Inhalation intakes shall be evaluated using the respiratory tract model contained in ICRP publication 66. The contractor shall not have access to the source code. Any contractor developed software used for calculating internal dose must be approved by NIOSH prior to its use in dose reconstructions and NIOSH must have access to the program and source code. Any contractor purchased software used for calculating internal dose must be approved by NIOSH prior to its use in dose reconstructions.

Within 30 days of award, NIOSH will provide training on the IMBA software for key contractor personnel who are not familiar with the software. Within 30 days after receiving training from NIOSH, the contractor shall be responsible for providing and documenting training to members of its technical team who shall be involved in conducting dose reconstructions and are not already familiar with the software.

3.2.3 Estimates of missed dose, due to technical limitations in monitoring technology, shall be evaluated and included in the claimant’s dose reconstruction for both internal and external sources of exposure. In addition, any exposure to diagnostic x rays that were required as a condition of employment shall be estimated and included in the claimant’s total organ dose.

3.3 The contractor shall review with NIOSH and revise dose reconstructions, as necessary, subject to NIOSH oversight of the dose reconstruction program.

3.4 The contractor shall develop statistical procedures and assumptions that may have application for multiple dose reconstructions, including but not limited to dose reconstructions for employees in specific jobs, performing specific tasks, employed in specific facilities or sites, and related to specific time periods of employment. NIOSH will review and approve these procedures and assumptions before they are used to complete dose reconstructions.

4.0 Prepare Special Exposure Cohort petition evaluations

4.1 In accordance with 42 CFR 83 and procedure OCAS-PR-004 Rev. 1, “Internal Procedures for the Evaluation of Special Exposure Cohort Petitions,” (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/secmisc.html orhttp://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/pdfs/dr/dc-ig-005-r0.pdf) the contractor shall process and evaluate petitions received from individuals for the addition of classes to the SEC, and shall initiate the addition of classes when there is not adequate information to reconstruct radiation doses with sufficient accuracy.

4.2 The contractor shall process and evaluate petitions received from individuals for additions of classes to the SEC (the 83.13 process).

4.2.1 With the approval of NIOSH, the contractor shall communicate with the petition submitter as necessary in order to obtain the information required in 42 CFR 83 for a petition. Some petitions may be sufficient upon initial receipt, but NIOSH expects that every petition will require communication of this type to obtain information required by 42 CFR 83.

4.2.2 The contractor shall determine whether the information ultimately submitted with a petition meets the requirements in 42 CFR 83 and therefore qualifies for evaluation. Contractor shall document the basis for this determination in a professional judgment and submit it to NIOSH.

4.2.3 For petitions that qualify for evaluation, the contractor shall provide a list of the types of apparent data deficiencies that could potentially make dose reconstructions infeasible, along with the research efforts that the contractor shall pursue to remedy each apparent data deficiency, and shall submit the list to NIOSH for review and approval. The schedule for delivering the list will be established by NIOSH upon qualification of a petition, depending on the complexity of the petition.

4.2.4 The contractor shall research information relevant to the feasibility of the dose reconstruction for members of the class; reach determinations about the feasibility of reconstructing doses for members of the class and the potential that members of the class were harmed by their exposure; document those determinations in a petition evaluation report; and submit the petition evaluation report to NIOSH for review and approval. The petition evaluation report must be completed and approved by NIOSH within 180 days from the date the petition was originally submitted to NIOSH, not counting days when NIOSH and the contractor are awaiting additional information from the submitter in order to fulfill the petition qualification requirements of 42 CFR 83.

4.2.5 The contractor shall provide additional research and revision to petition evaluation reports to respond to questions raised by the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health (“the Board”). NIOSH anticipates that every petition evaluation report will prompt questions from the Board. Such questions have required detailed follow-up analysis of complex issues such as monitoring program adequacy, technical performance of internal and external dosimetry systems, and characterization of the radiation fields present at sites being evaluated.

4.3 The contractor shall identify classes of workers for whom there is inadequate information to perform dose reconstruction with sufficient accuracy, and initiate adding those classes to the SEC (the 83.14 process).

4.3.1 The contractor shall identify potential classes for whom dose reconstruction is not feasible, and shall document the basis for that determination. Classes may comprise any portion of the employees at a covered facility and any portion of the duration of the covered period. The class definition and basis for finding it infeasible to reconstruct radiation doses shall be submitted to NIOSH for review and approval.

4.3.2 The contractor shall propose a representative claimant from each 83.14 class for NIOSH approval. Upon NIOSH approval of a representative claimant, contractor shall prepare communications to that claimant about the infeasibility of dose reconstruction and the 83.14 SEC process.

4.3.3 The contractor shall prepare a petition evaluation report that documents the basis for finding dose reconstruction infeasible for members of the class and submit the petition evaluation report to NIOSH for review and approval.

4.3.4 The contractor shall provide additional research and revision to petition evaluation reports to respond to questions raised by the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health. NIOSH expects that every petition evaluation report will prompt questions from the Board.

5.0 Technical and program management support

5.1 Technical support: Provide information and analyses to NIOSH to review individual dose reconstructions, dose reconstruction procedures and practices, or SEC petition evaluations, or to respond to requests by DOL, the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health, Congress, or other stakeholders, and to support NIOSH management in the dose reconstruction and SEC petition evaluation program. This task shall include the following:

5.1.1 The contractor shall prepare and provide analyses, information and reports to NIOSH in response to reviews of individual dose reconstructions requested by DOL in the adjudication of claims. NIOSH expects four of these requests per year.

5.1.2 The contractor shall prepare and provide analyses, information, and reports to NIOSH in response to reviews of dose reconstructions, dose reconstruction procedures, technical documents such as TechnicalInformation Bulletins or technical basis documents, or SEC petition evaluations under EEOICPA by the Advisory Board and other external organizations that may conduct scientific or technical reviews, such as the National Academy of Sciences and the Government Accountability Office. NIOSH expects that the Advisory Board will review and comment on 60 dose reconstruction reports, 8 technical basis documents, and 15 procedures and Technical Information Bulletins (combined) each year. Total requests from other bodies is expected to be four per year.

5.1.3 The contractor shall prepare and provide analyses, information, and reports to NIOSH in support of Congressional briefings and in response to Congressional inquiries. NIOSH expects to request contractor assistance for responding to one Congressional inquiry per week and six briefings per year. Inquiries address individual cases, while briefings address program status and site specific information for a single or few sites (e.g., those from a single state).

5.1.4 Within 30 days of award, the contractor shall establish practices for using the NIOSH OCAS Claims Tracking System (NOCTS). Any supplementary tracking system established by the contractor must be compatible with and provide current information to NOCTS to support reporting of dose reconstruction process status to claimants.

5.1.5 The contractor shall provide records to NIOSH such that NIOSH can comply with requests for records under the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act. NIOSH expects to request contractor assistance in approximately twelve such requests per year.

5.2 Program management support: The contractor shall provide comprehensive program management support to NIOSH. This task shall include the following:

5.2.1 Within 60 days of award, the contractor shall develop and implement a written project management plan and submit it to NIOSH for review and approval. The project management plan shall define the organizational structure, management approach, requirements, and tools for planning, implementing, and monitoring work practices which shall be used to complete radiation dose reconstructions and to evaluate submissions and petitions for the addition of classes to the SEC.

5.2.2 Within 90 days of award, the contractor shall develop, implement and maintain a written quality assurance program for the overall project. The quality assurance program documentation shall describe the organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority, and interfaces for those personnel managing, performing, and assessing the adequacy of work performed as part of this contract.

5.2.3 Within 90 days of award, the contractor shall develop and enact procedures for implementing “NIOSH Policy on the Appearance of Bias for the EEOICPA Program & General Conflict of Interest Requirements”, (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/ocascobs.html or http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/OCAS/pdfs/dr/aobplcy-v2.pdf). Copies of those procedures shall be provided to NIOSH at that time.

5.2.4 The contractor shall prepare and submit to NIOSH monthly performance reports and quarterly cost reports covering all tasks under this contract. The monthly performance report shall include but need not be limited to: the number of dose reconstruction reports submitted to NIOSH for approval; a list of the procedures, technical information bulletins, technical basis documents, or other documents submitted to NIOSH for approval; A list of SEC professional judgment papers and petition evaluation reports submitted to NIOSH for approval; any other products delivered; a status report of information gathering efforts (those completed, underway, and planned), to include document capture efforts, site visits, worker and site expert interviews; a description of issues that must be addressed in order to complete required activities; and a description of the work accomplished and work in progress under the contract.

5.2.5 The contractor shall participate in person or by teleconference in project status meetings with DCAS and other topical meetings convened by DCAS. Project status meetings shall be scheduled at mutually agreeable times but shall be no less frequent than bi-monthly.

5.2.6 The contractor shall conduct semiannual program reviews and provide the results of these reviews to NIOSH.

The NETL is a science, technology, and energy laboratory owned and operated by the DOE. As part of DOE?s national laboratory system, NETL supports DOE?s mission to advance the national, economic, and energy security of the United States.
NETL is DOE?s only national laboratory dedicated to Fossil Energy (FE) Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D). NETL has three sites that conduct on-site research and development (R&D) ? Morgantown, West Virginia; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Albany, Oregon. Two other office sites are located in Anchorage, Alaska; and Sugarland, Texas. All five sites operate under one management structure. In addition to its on-site R&D, NETL implements and manages extramural RD&D and conducts energy analyses. NETL?s project portfolio includes RD&D conducted through financial assistance, cooperative research and development agreements, and contractual arrangements. Approximately 1,200 research activities are conducted in partnership with industry, academia, other national laboratories, private research organizations, non-profit organizations, and other Federal and State agencies.
NETL?s mission is to advance energy options to fuel our economy, strengthen our security, and improve our environment. NETL is primarily responsible for implementing and managing coal, natural gas, and oil RD&D programs for FE. Additionally, NETL implements and manages other DOE, governmental, and international programs and projects. Significant activities are sponsored by the DOE?s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE).
Additional information about NETL can be attained at our website: http://www.netl.doe.gov.
Project Requirements
The anticipated contract type is a Performance-Based Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract providing for issuance of Cost-Plus Award Fee (CPAF), Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm Fixed Price (FFP), and Fixed Price Incentives (FPI) task orders. The type of task order will be dependent upon the services required. Anticipated task orders for this contract would support activities at all NETL facilities with staffing primarily anticipated to be located at the NETL Morgantown and Pittsburgh campuses. It is anticipated that the Anchorage, AK and Sugarland, TX sites will require minimal staffing.
NETL anticipates issuing a solicitation for ME services that provide quality and timely technical and associated administrative support services for program and project planning, execution, monitoring, and assessment. In general, these services are comprised of identifying, compiling, reducing, and reporting energy-related information; preparing, facilitating, and reporting out on various types of meetings; maintaining, enhancing, populating, and exercising systems and databases; and conducting limited analyses and evaluations, e.g., market penetration assessments. Further, a potential contractor would be able to provide general assistance supporting other program- and project-related activities such as technology awareness and communications inclusive of technology transfer. The services are to support the efforts of the Government and will assist NETL in achieving desired outcomes in an efficient manner.
Support is expected to be needed in the following four (4) service areas and will be aligned with multiple operational activities that are used to deliver high-quality, disciplined, and relevant research and technology development at NETL.
Program and Project Implementation — Applied research and technology development focused on key barriers to commercialization require a disciplined framework ? a framework that NETL employs on a daily basis. Information reflecting the progress of individual research activities in meeting their established objectives to addressing technical limitations at a program level is developed, tracked, updated and reported as part of NETL?s management protocols. In addition, NETL develops technology transfer and outreach materials in order to effectively communicate with its various stakeholder groups.
Systems and Databases — Maintenance, enhancement, and use of commercial software as well as customized databases and information processing systems are necessary to conduct and manage the research at NETL. It is imperative that significant technical data and extensive project management information required to efficiently deliver an energy-related research and technology development program be routinely compiled, analyzed, and reported. These types of data and information range from individual activity?s milestones, schedules, and costs to the operational performance of a given energy conversion system.
Assessments/Reviews/Evaluations — Review of the scientific merit of individual research activities,, and the technical and cost performance of technology advancements as well as portfolios of related RD&D activities is a continuous process at NETL. Assessments are used to develop defensible recommendations affecting continued support to a given research activity and to affirm or alter the direction of future RD&D. 
Technical Information — Staying current with energy-related advancements is routine at NETL and represents a key aspect of due diligence underpinning the investment of public funds. Technology performance, associated costs, and regulatory and environmental impacts information are considered across NETL?s programs and employed to support multiple operational activities, e.g., program review, strategic planning, and technology transfer.
The anticipated labor mix will require a diverse pool of labor with a range of education and years of experience. Junior-, mid- and senior-level engineers, scientists, business/engineering analysts, and administrative specialists will be required.

The NETL is a science, technology, and energy laboratory owned and operated by the DOE. As part of DOE?s national laboratory system, NETL supports DOE?s mission to advance the national, economic, and energy security of the United States. NETL is DOE?s only national laboratory dedicated to Fossil Energy (FE) Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D). NETL has three sites that conduct on-site research and development (R&D) ? Morgantown, West Virginia; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Albany, Oregon. Two other office sites are located in Anchorage, Alaska; and Sugarland, Texas. All five sites operate under one management structure. In addition to its on-site R&D, NETL implements and manages extramural RD&D and conducts energy analyses. NETL?s project portfolio includes RD&D conducted through financial assistance, cooperative research and development agreements, and contractual arrangements. Approximately 1,200 research activities are conducted in partnership with industry, academia, other national laboratories, private research organizations, non-profit organizations, and other Federal and State agencies. NETL?s mission is to advance energy options to fuel our economy, strengthen our security, and improve our environment. NETL is primarily responsible for implementing and managing coal, natural gas, and oil RD&D programs for FE. Additionally, NETL implements and manages other DOE, governmental, and international programs and projects. Significant activities are sponsored by the DOE?s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE). Additional information about NETL can be attained at our website: http://www.netl.doe.gov. Project Requirements The anticipated contract type is a Performance-Based Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract providing for issuance of Cost-Plus Award Fee (CPAF), Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm Fixed Price (FFP), and Fixed Price Incentives (FPI) task orders. The type of task order will be dependent upon the services required. Anticipated task orders for this contract would support activities at all NETL facilities with staffing primarily anticipated to be located at the NETL Morgantown and Pittsburgh campuses. It is anticipated that the Anchorage, AK and Sugarland, TX sites will require minimal staffing. NETL anticipates issuing a solicitation for ME services that provide quality and timely technical and associated administrative support services for program and project planning, execution, monitoring, and assessment. In general, these services are comprised of identifying, compiling, reducing, and reporting energy-related information; preparing, facilitating, and reporting out on various types of meetings; maintaining, enhancing, populating, and exercising systems and databases; and conducting limited analyses and evaluations, e.g., market penetration assessments. Further, a potential contractor would be able to provide general assistance supporting other program- and project-related activities such as technology awareness and communications inclusive of technology transfer. The services are to support the efforts of the Government and will assist NETL in achieving desired outcomes in an efficient manner. Support is expected to be needed in the following four (4) service areas and will be aligned with multiple operational activities that are used to deliver high-quality, disciplined, and relevant research and technology development at NETL. Program and Project Implementation — Applied research and technology development focused on key barriers to commercialization require a disciplined framework ? a framework that NETL employs on a daily basis. Information reflecting the progress of individual research activities in meeting their established objectives to addressing technical limitations at a program level is developed, tracked, updated and reported as part of NETL?s management protocols. In addition, NETL develops technology transfer and outreach materials in order to effectively communicate with its various stakeholder groups. Systems and Databases — Maintenance, enhancement, and use of commercial software as well as customized databases and information processing systems are necessary to conduct and manage the research at NETL. It is imperative that significanttechnical data and extensive project management information required to efficiently deliver an energy-related research and technology development program be routinely compiled, analyzed, and reported. These types of data and information range from individual activity?s milestones, schedules, and costs to the operational performance of a given energy conversion system. Assessments/Reviews/Evaluations — Review of the scientific merit of individual research activities,, and the technical and cost performance of technology advancements as well as portfolios of related RD&D activities is a continuous process at NETL. Assessments are used to develop defensible recommendations affecting continued support to a given research activity and to affirm or alter the direction of future RD&D. Technical Information — Staying current with energy-related advancements is routine at NETL and represents a key aspect of due diligence underpinning the investment of public funds. Technology performance, associated costs, and regulatory and environmental impacts information are considered across NETL?s programs and employed to support multiple operational activities, e.g., program review, strategic planning, and technology transfer. The anticipated labor mix will require a diverse pool of labor with a range of education and years of experience. Junior-, mid- and senior-level engineers, scientists, business/engineering analysts, and administrative specialists will be required.

Basis for Award:
The procurement is being conducted under FAR Part 15.101-1. The acquisition evaluation will be conducted utilizing a best value -tradeoff source selection process, which seeks to select an offer with the overall best value to meet the Government’s need. Best value is defined as the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement, in accordance with FAR 2.101.

The best value will be determined by comparing differences in the value of non-price features in cost to the Government. In making this comparison, the Government is more concerned with obtaining superior technical, non-price features than with making an award at the lowest overall cost to the Government. However, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall cost to achieve slightly superior technical, non-price features.

Therefore, price/cost is not expected to be the controlling factor in the selection of an offeror, but the degree of importance of cost as a factor could become greater depending on the quality of the proposals for other factors evaluated.

The Government reserves the right to make a selection based upon the initial proposal submissions so the offeror should submit its best terms in the initial proposal. The Government may also determine to make no award.

A single offeror will be selected who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104-1 and whose offer provides the Government with a best value solution.

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items (Jan 1999)
(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical Capability, Key Personnel, and Past Performance.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

Evaluation Criteria shall include:

Technical Capability :
Offerors must demonstrate an understanding of the performance requirements and an ability to execute them in accordance with the Statement of Work. In evaluating technical capability, the Government will evaluate the offeror’s understanding of the work and soundness of their approach to specifically include an offeror’s ability to provide the required services necessary to successfully execute the SOW requirements. In evaluating the offeror’s technical capability, the Government will evaluate the offeror’s understanding of the complete scope and complexity of performance requirements as it relates to the proposed skill mix and level of effort. This will be evaluated as a measure of the Government’s confidence in the offeror’s ability to plan for, manage, and staff the requirement.
Submissions for technical proposals (resumes) shall not exceed ten (10) pages excluding title pages, table of contents, and graphics.

Key Personnel :
Offerors must demonstrate that they are knowledgeable and skilled in performing the required duties. Offerors must have in-depth experience in graphic design.

U.S. Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB), Voice of America (VOA), and Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB) are seeking qualified individuals for free-lance Radio, Television, Internet, and/or Multi-Media English and/or foreign language news broadcasting assignments in Washington, DC; Miami, FL; and various overseas locations that are not serviced by full-time VOA and/or OCB staff correspondents. Assignment areas include script writing, editing, on-air announcing, video journalism, and audience mail analysis. The VOA broadcasts in English and other languages. These languages are as follows: Afan Oromo, Albanian, Amharic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Bangla, Bosnian, Burmese, Cantonese, Creole, Dari, French, Georgian, Greek, Hausa, Indonesian, Khmer, Kirundi, Kinyarwanda, Korean, Kurdish, Lao, Macedonian, Mandarin, Ndebele, Pashto, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Shona, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Thai, Tibetan, Tigrigna, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uzbek and Vietnamese. VOA is seeking qualified sources for the following types of free-lance assignments: Radio-TV Broadcast Announcers, Narrators and Personalities, Researchers, Writers, Producers, Editors, Desk Coordinators, Directors for Television, Radio and TV Production Assistants, Television Makeup-Artists, Master Control Producers, TV Master Control Technicians, Television On-Camera Talent (i.e., Program Moderator, Anchor, Host), General Studio Technicians,Video Switchers, Audio Technicians, Lighting Directors, TV Technical Support Maintenance Technicians, Non-English Language Translators, Narrators, Videotape Editors, Videotape Recycling Technicians, VideotapeRecording Technicians, TV Mini-Cam Technicians, Studio Technician Director, Video Researcher/Catalogers, Camera Operators, Character Generator Operators (Chyron), TV/Radio Bookers, Promo Producer/Editors, Audience Mail Assistants (respond to incoming letters/emails from VOA Listeners around the world). Furthermore, the BBG’s Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), which broadcasts radio and television programming in Spanish to Cuba, is seeking qualified sources for similar free-lance assignments on the same “as-needed” contract basis as VOA, but with OCB’s free-lance work assignment locations being Miami, FL or at overseas locations. The following general information pertains to all of the above-listed VOA and OCB free-lance assignments: 1) Assignments are performed on a contract basis. 2) Most VOA assignments require working in Washington, DC; while some assignments require working at IBB studios at overseas locations. Most OCB assignments require working in Miami, FL; while some assignments require working at overseas locations. 3) Contractor candidates may be required to undergo a background security investigation and successfully pass the security clearance process in order to receive work assignments. 4) Contractor candidates must be willing to work on an “as-required” basis, depending upon the VOA’s or OCB’s broadcasting needs. Some broadcasting activities require working irregular hours – such as very early in the morning or late in the evening – depending on the broadcasting schedule. 5) Videotape editor candidates should have at least two (2) years experience as a videotape editor in either a commercial or Government television production facility, utilizing modern computerized editing systems and videotape machines. 6) Free-lance assignments are contracted for strictly on an “as needed” basis. The VOA and OCB make no guarantees on the amount of work assignments that contractors can expect to receive. 7) The Government is obligated to inspect all contractors performed work to insure that it fully satisfies the Government’s requirements. The Government is further obligated to reject all work that fails to meet Government-specified requirements.

Contractors should note that all work shall be performed in accordance with the standards prescribed in the attached “VOA Journalistic Code”. Failure to comply with these legally mandated standards may result in immediate termination of the contract for default.

The following criteria, depending on the type of broadcasting services being contracted, are used as appropriate by VOA and OCB to evaluate prospective contractors: (1) Radio or television broadcast or Internet news experience, including translating and adapting broadcast scripts. Please specifically note that for broadcasting work, the VOA requires that prospective contractors take a voice and writing test. For translation or camera work, VOA requires that prospective contractors take a translation and/or on-camera test; (2) Extensive knowledge of the target broadcast language(s) and the ability to adapt English material into the target language; (3) Ability to produce work that demonstrates a keen knowledge of national and international issues; (4) Ability to explain complex issues in clear, logical terms that can be understood by VOA’s and OCB’s worldwide audiences; (5) Ability to operate highly specialized and complex broadcast television equipment, such as audio consoles, character generators, wave-form monitors and vectorscopes, and videotape machines; (6) Highly developed production skills, such as: assembling/coordinating material, monitoring program segments for proper sequencing and integration, ensuring continuity, editing broadcast scripts as necessary, etc. ; (7) Ability to research, select, and prepare material to provide background and highlight key elements of VOA or OCB web news reports, prepare and encode multimedia enhancements, and either prepare or request and coordinate the preparation and encoding of additional streamed media, and ensure compliance with copyright restrictions; (8) Documented knowledge (i.e., education/training and/or practical experience) of the principles and practices of journalistic writing, editing, and Internet publishing; (9) Computer skills required; (10) Ability to operate a wide variety of digital broadcast equipment; and (11) Ability to read and analyze incoming correspondence to determine information requested and prepare a responsive and personalized respond.

Prospective contractors are hereby notified that the basis for award will be based on best value; with technical evaluation factors (i.e., strength of prospective contractor’s resume, approach to performing work) being more important than the prospective contractor’s proposed hourly price. Contractors shall submit their price proposals based on an hourly and/or an assignment basis.

Broadcasting Board of Governors, Director, Office of Contracts, Office of Contracts (CON), 330 C Street, SW, Room 4300 Washington DC 20237

T — Contractors for News Broadcasting Services POV-FY-13-Q3-T 063013 Brenda Dade, Phone 202-382-7853, Email bdade@bbg.gov – Jim McGuirk, Priocurement Analyst, Phone 202-382-7840, Email jmcguirk@bbg.gov ; ;p;
The U.S. Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB), Voice of America (VOA), and Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB) are seeking qualified individuals for free-lance Radio, Television, Internet, and/or Multi-Media English and/or foreign language news broadcasting assignments in Washington, DC; Miami, FL; and various overseas locations that are not serviced by full-time VOA and/or OCB staff correspondents. Assignment areas include script writing, editing, on-air announcing, technical and production services, photo editing, video journalism, graphic illustrating, producing programming using state of the art multi-media platforms, and audience mail analysis. The VOA broadcasts in English and other languages. These languages are as follows: Afan Oromo, Albanian, Amharic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Bangla, Bosnian, Burmese, Cantonese, Creole, Croatian, Dari, French, Georgian, Greek, Hausa, Indonesian, Khmer, Kirundi, Kinyarwanda, Korean, Kurdish, Lao, Macedonian, Mandarin, Ndebele, Pashto, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Shona, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Thai, Tibetan, Tigrigna, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uzbek and Vietnamese. VOA is seeking qualified sources for the following types of free-lance assignments: Radio-TV Broadcast Announcers, Narrators and Personalities, Researchers, Writers, Producers, Editors, Desk Coordinators, Directors for Television, Radio and TV Production Assistants, Television Makeup-Artists, Master Control Producers, TV Master Control Technicians, Television On-Camera Talent (i.e., Program Moderator, Anchor, Host), General Studio Technicians, Video Switchers, Audio Technicians, Lighting Directors, TVTechnical Support Maintenance Technicians, Non-English Language Translators, Narrators, Videotape Editors, Videotape Recycling Technicians, Videotape Recording Technicians, TV Mini-Cam Technicians, Studio Technician Director, Video Researcher/Catalogers, Camera Operators, Character Generator Operators (Chyron), TV/Radio Bookers, Promo Producer/Editors, Audience Mail Assistants (respond to incoming letters/emails from VOA Listeners around the world), and Electronic Graphic Artists. In addition, VOA is also interested in Internet Writers, Editors, Web Designers and Graphic Designers. Furthermore, the BBG’s Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), which broadcasts radio and television programming in Spanish to Cuba, is seeking qualified sources for similar free-lance assignments on the same “as-needed” contract basis as VOA, but with OCB’s free-lance work assignment locations being Miami, FL or at overseas locations. The following general information pertains to all of the above-listed VOA and OCB free-lance assignments: 1) Assignments are performed on a contract basis. 2) Most VOA assignments require working in Washington, DC; while some assignments require working at IBB studios at overseas locations. Most OCB assignments require working in Miami, FL; while some assignments require working at overseas locations. 3) Contractor candidates may be required to undergo a background security investigation and successfully pass the security clearance process in order to receive work assignments. 4) Contractor candidates must be willing to work on an “as-required” basis, depending upon the VOA’s or OCB’s broadcasting needs. Some broadcasting activities require working irregular hours – such as very early in the morning or late in the evening – depending on the broadcasting schedule. 5) Videotape editor candidates should have at least two (2) years experience as a videotape editor in either a commercial or Government television production facility, utilizing modern computerized editing systems and videotape machines. 6) Free-lance assignments are contracted for strictly on an “as needed” basis. The VOA and OCB make no guarantees on the amount of work assignments that contractors can expect to receive. 7) The Government is obligated to inspect all contractors performed work to insure that it fully satisfies the Government’s requirements. The Government is further obligated to reject all work that fails to meet Government-specified requirements.

Contractors should note that all work shall be performed in accordance with the standards prescribed in the attached “VOA Journalistic Code”. Failure to comply with these legally mandated standards may result in immediate termination of the contract for default.

The following criteria, depending on the type of broadcasting services being contracted, are used as appropriate by VOA and OCB to evaluate prospective contractors: (1) Radio or television broadcast or Internet news experience, including translating and adapting broadcast scripts. Please specifically note that for broadcasting work, the VOA requires that prospective contractors take a voice and writing test. For translation or camera work, VOA requires that prospective contractors take a translation and/or on-camera test; (2) Extensive knowledge of the target broadcast language(s) and the ability to adapt English material into the target language; (3) Ability to produce work that demonstrates a keen knowledge of national and international issues; (4) Ability to explain complex issues in clear, logical terms that can be understood by VOA’s and OCB’s worldwide audiences; (5) Ability to operate highly specialized and complex broadcast television equipment, such as audio consoles, character generators, wave-form monitors and vectorscopes, and videotape machines; (6) Highly developed production skills, such as: assembling/coordinating material, monitoring program segments for proper sequencing and integration, ensuring continuity, editing broadcast scripts as necessary, etc. ; (7) Ability to research, select, and prepare material to provide background and highlight key elements of VOA or OCB web news reports, prepare and encode multimedia enhancements, and either prepare or request and coordinate the preparation and encoding of additional streamed media, and ensure compliance with copyright restrictions; (8) Documented knowledge (i.e., education/training and/or practical experience) of the principles and practices of journalistic writing, editing, and Internet publishing; (9) Computer skills required; (10) Ability to operate a wide variety of digital broadcast equipment; and (11) Ability to read and analyze incoming correspondence to determine information requested and prepare a responsive and personalized respond.

Prospective contractors are hereby notified that the basis for award will be based on best value; with technical evaluation factors (i.e., strength of prospective contractor’s resume, approach to performing work) being more important than the prospective contractor’s proposed hourly price. Contractors shall submit their price proposals based on an hourly and/or an assignment basis.

All sources interested in and believe that they have the experience and capabilities to perform one or more of the above-stated free-lance Assignment/Task Orders that are issued under a contract basis with one or more of the above-stated BBG organizations (VOA) at their respective Washington, DC; Miami, FL (for OCB); or overseas locations may submit written inquiries for additional information and/or submit their writtenstatement(s) of interest, technical qualifications, desired rate (hourly or per assignment), and pertinent experience for proposing to contract for one or more of the above-listed free-lance assignments with the appropriate BBG organization(s) as follows: (a) For free-lance radio and/or television assignments with the VOA in Washington, DC or overseas, submit written inquiries for additional information and/or   technicalproposals to the Voice of America (VOA), Attention: Ms. Margaret O’Lear, VOA, Room 3137-C, Cohen Federal Building, 330 Independence Avenue (SW), Washington, DC 20237, email address, maolear@voanews.com ; and (b) For free-lance radio and/or television assignments with the Office of Cuba Broadcasting’s (OCB) Radio and/or TV Marti in Miami, FL or overseas, submit written inquiries for additional information and/ortechnical proposals to OCB, Attention: Ms. Mary Ann Amps, OCB/A, 4201 NW 77th Avenue, Miami, FL 33166, email address: mamps@ocb.ibb.gov .   Any written inquiries and/or technical proposals responding to this Public Notice may be submitted to the above-listed respective VOA-TV and/or OCB POCs at any time up to the June 30, 2013 expiration date of this Public Notice.

FAR 52.215-3, Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes (Oct 1997)

The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Request for Information (RFI) or to otherwise compensate any interested party for information.

BACKGROUND:

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) located in Alaska has a requirement for a contractor to video, photograph, map and catalogue geomorphic and biological shore-zone resources at effective mapping scales of better than 1:10,000 for various locations in Alaska specifically, and potentially other coastal areas of the United States.

The objective of this requirement will be to:

1. Collect ShoreZone imagery of the Alaska coastline and potentially other coastlines along the United States,
2. Using this low-tide aerial video and still imagery, map the geologic and biological features and enter the data into a georeferenced data base,
3. Complete the necessary inventory and mapping needed for a continuous dataset for the entire coastline of Alaska following the methodology described in the paper “ShoreZone Mapping Protocol for the Gulf of Alaska” (August 2008),
4. A georeferenced GIS database which includes shoreline geomorphology, substrates, and biological habitats is required as indicated by research and management activities by federal, state, and local agencies and by nongovernmental organizations.

DESCRIPTION and TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:

Respondents are requested to provide information which addresses the vendor’s ability to meet the requirements listed below:

A. Capability of providing ShoreZone Imagery Collection performed by qualified personnel using state-of-the-art equipment. Contractor shall also be able to meet the following requirements:

FIELD SURVEY PLANNING – A field survey plan is developed for each low-tide window survey. The survey is conducted at the lowest daylight tides of the year with tidal elevations of 0.0 meters or lower. Surveys are only conducted in the summer months from May through August in order to ensure mapping of aquatic vegetation. Operating bases are identified, field survey personnel are identified, logistical helicopter support is arranged (including fuel caches where required) and accommodations for the survey crew are secured. The Field Survey Plan is developed in consultation with the contracting officer representative (COR) and should be reviewed by the COR prior to conducting the survey.

FIELD PERSONNEL – Typically a crew of four individuals are needed in the aircraft including a coastal geomorphologist, a coastal biologist, an in-flight navigator, and a pilot. When surveys necessitate using a smaller helicopter (such as a Robinson R-44) which only holds three persons plus necessary equipment, the geomorphologist or biologist may also do the duties of the navigator. The coastal geomorphologist is responsible for designing the survey, operating the video camera, and collecting the video imagery to sufficient resolution for ShoreZone mapping system. The coastal geomorphologist provides a continuous audio commentary on the geomorphology including specifics on the substrate character that may not be visible on the videography. The coastal biologist is responsible for working with the geologist to design the survey, operating the still-image camera, and shooting still imagery to sufficient resolution for ShoreZone mapping. The coastal biologist provides a continuous audio commentary on the intertidal biota with emphasis on the biological attributes and biobands used in the ShoreZone mapping system. An in-flight navigator is responsible for ensuring that aerial survey coverage is complete, and that the electronic navigation system is recording on second navigation fixes.

FIELD DATA PRODUCTS – The primary products originating from the field program are listed below. As technology changes, data formats change and the suggested specification below are minimum standards.

NAVIGATION DATA FILES – provide location of the survey information on second fix marks with associated latitude, longitude of each fix (to four decimal places) and global positioning system (GPS) clock time. The fixes should be collected to differentially corrected global positioning system (DGPS) standards (horizontal positioning accuracy typically +/- 5m).

VIDEOGRAPHY – low-tide, oblique aerial video imagery. Record videography on media that measures at least 530 lines per inch (LPI) resolution with GPS fix (lat/long) and time burned to each image. In 2006, imagery was recorded on miniDV tapes, which meets this standard, but technology is changing. Filming in HD and recording directly to digital video cards may be viable upgrades if previous standards are maintained at a minimum. In addition, GPS information is to be attached to metadata in the form of geotags: (eg. EXIF: Latitude 55, 44′ 18″, Latitude Reference – North latitude; Longitude 160, 0′ 51″, Longitude Reference – West longitude) and attributed to Alaska ShoreZone program (EXIF copyright: Alaska ShoreZone CC BY 3.0) via metadata. Record synchronous geomorphological narration on the left audio channel and biological narration recorded on the right audio channel. In the past, miniDV original tapes (originals) were used to create a master set of DVDs and then archived. A preferred upgrade would be all imagery placed on portable hard drives.

PHOTOGRAPHY – still photography is collected during the over fights and recorded digitally. Minimum 12 megapixel image quality is required. Other file formats must provide equivalent resolution. Images should frame from above the higher high water line to below the lower low water line levels unless broad, flat habitats preclude this. In these habitats maximize image from center halfway between higher high waterline to below the lower low waterline. Zooms of specific features are occasionally collected. The camera clock is synchronized to the GPS clock so that the exact time of each photo is recorded in the metadata for each image; this ensures that the exact location of each photo is known. Images should be geotagged (eg. EXIF: Latitude 55, 44′ 18″, Latitude Reference – North latitude; Longitude 160, 0′ 51″, Longitude Reference – West longitude) and attributed to Alaska ShoreZone program (EXIF copyright: Alaska ShoreZone CC BY 3.0). Photos are transferred to DVD or hard drive (or other storage device) and typically archived by day. On average the target is one photo every three seconds (1,200 photos per hour) or a minimum of 1,000 photos per hour. The number of photos taken per hour varies somewhat with habitat and location.

FLIGHTLINE MANUAL – a flight line manual shall be produced to show the flight path associated with each tape or DVD. The path is shown in reference to standard maps (either NTS topographic maps, NOAA charts or electronic shorelines derived from one of these two shoreline). Locations of all photos are shown on the flight line maps. A log is included with each tape to relate geographic features to flight path times and to photo locations.

SHOREZONE DATA ANALYSIS AND MAPPING REQUIREMENTS
ShoreZone mapping and data analysis requires oblique aerial imagery to be converted to repeatable units or classes of data; the data shall include both spatial representation that fixes the information on maps (i.e., a mapping system) and an attribute representation that classifies data into a discrete number of categories (i.e., a classification system). Both geological and biological attributes shall be mapped and classified with quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) procedures throughout the process.

GEOLOGICAL ATTRIBUTE MAPPING
The geomorphology mapper reviews the imagery, as well as other existing maps and air photos, and marks the shore units onto an electronic shoreline. A shore unit is the primary mapping unit which delineates locations of uniform sediment texture, geomorphology and wave exposure. Shore units may be represented as line segments, points or polygons. Each shore unit is further characterized by the geologist in terms of a collection of across-shore components. The best shoreline must be used to delineate the shoreline. Where there are large deviations in the digital shoreline, adjustments may be made. This shall be noted in the metadata.

Each shore unit is further characterized by the geologist in terms of a collection of across-shore components. The across-shore components are geomorphic features, such as cliffs, beach berms, tidal flats, with associated texture characteristics. The across-shore component attributes are entered into the database but are not delineated on maps. The components are described in terms of (a) observed forms and substrates (e.g., a cobble berm), (b) a landward to seaward sequence and (c) the tidal zone in which they occur (i.e., supratidal, intertidal or subtidal). Within a unit, there may be primary, secondary or tertiary components. The Component data is searchable for particular features (e.g., dunes, pebble beach berms, intertidal structures, mudflats greater than 100m in width).

BIOLOGICAL ATTRIBUTE MAPPING
The biota is characterized by a biologist in terms of recognizable and repeatable biotic assemblages that are called biobands. Biobands are attached, epibenthic species, both plants and animals, that are living in the intertidal zone, usually at characteristic across-shore elevations. In most cases, the biobands are named by a single indicator species (e.g., ‘Zostera’ bioband) but in some cases a characteristic colour/texture descriptor is used for a combination of indicator species (e.g., the ‘ Dark-Brown Kelps’ bioband that includes the lower intertidal, chocolate brown, stalked kelps). All of the biobands represent assemblages of biota and are not intended to indicate the occurrence of a single indicator species.

Each bioband is classified as absent (not observed in the unit), patchy (occurs within less than 50% of the unit) or continuous (occurs within more than 50% of the unit); biobands are nested within across-shore components. The bioband data are searchable and linked to both Unit and Component data.

SHORE STATION GROUND SURVEYS – Shore Station ground surveys provide the opportunity for close-up observations of species and substrates identified during aerial observations and therefore the opportunity to clarify the assumptions made regarding the characteristics of the coastal biobands and geologic substrate during aerial observations. The primary objectives of the shore stations investigations are to (1) obtain specific site information to enhance our knowledge and understanding of mapping classifications in a given area; (2) conduct detailed, site specific observations of substrate, morphology and biota at selected shore locations to better understand coastal processes and ecology; (3) collect detailed physical and biological measurements; (4) collect information on species assemblages to complement the aerial perspective of biobands; (5) document regional differences in the biota present in the biobands; and (6) to make this information publically available by adding it to the existing ShoreStation data on-line.

Both geomorphologic and biological information is acquired using the ShoreZone classification definitions provided in the ShoreZone protocol. Across-shore profiles are surveyed for width, elevation, sediment composition, geomorphology, and biota. The data are systematically recorded in Shore Station databases. Field photos are systematically recorded and are linked to the survey notes. Survey profiles are plotted to a common datum. Given sufficient funding the geographic extent of the ground survey should reflect the geographic extent of the aerial survey, should be planned for a similar tide window, and should include each habitat type within the survey area. Sediment samples may be required to be taken at shore stations to archive for hydrocarbon analyses in the event of a local or regional oil spill.

Transects will be conducted using the Emery profiling technique. A transect line is laid out perpendicular to the shoreline to measure beach length and slope with descriptions of biotic and geomorphic features recorded at points along the transect. Across-shore profiles are measured to describe details of the geomorphic features at the shore station. Elevations are measured from the uppermost supratidal zone, from the ‘marine limit’, as defined by the edge of terrestrial vegetation, across the shoreline to the waterline. See Figure 1 below. All biological species are recorded in the across-shore components and their relative abundance (e.g. rare, few, common, abundant). Complete photo documentation of the beach is a priority and must be georeferenced at a high-resolution.

Substrate categories recorded at ground stations in ShoreZone are defined according to the standard size classes and nomenclature of the Wentworth scale. Most substrate definitions are for ‘sediment’ substrates and defined by the sizes of the particles (or ‘clasts’). The two substrate types found at the bottom of the list are ‘biogenic’ and are formed by biological processes. On surveyed transects at the ground station, the substrate observations are recorded for each interval along the across-shore profile. Combinations of multiple substrates are often observed and are listed on the profile in order of relative abundance. Thin layers or veneers of one substrate or more over top of another can also be observed. These veneers are listed as substrates ‘over’ substrates (e.g., boulder, cobble over bedrock).

Shore Station data must be presented as a GIS layer. The data base must provide a list of species observed with representative photos. The data base must also have the capability to query the data by region, locale, station, select ShoreZone attributes (habitat class, biobands, etc.), and by species or species groups at a minimum. Data must include fully FGDC compliant metadata files for all ArcGIS feature classes. The ShoreStation datasets shall be combined with the existing datasets and be made accessible to the public on the NMFS website. The contractor shall provide technical support to NMFS for any problems that arise when combining the new datasets with the existing datasets.

Currently the Shore Station database houses over 400 ShoreZone Shore Stations that have been visited since 2002 throughout the Gulf of Alaska (including southeast, Prince William Sound, the outer Kenai Peninsula, Kodiak Island archipelago, Cook Inlet, and the Katmai National Park coast) and in Bering Strait, Kotzebue Sound, the Chukchi Sea and the Beaufort Sea. This online database has been designed to provide easy access to Shore Station data via a query able display of stations at local and regional geographic scales and the ability to download species lists and photos. The ground stations are ‘point features’ that are spatially linked to the Alaska ShoreZone web enabled database. New data collection must be compatible with the existing data formats.

OTHER SHOREZONE PRODUCTS – ShoreZone data can be used to generate products that are relevant to ecosystem, habitat, and fisheries management. The high resolution, attribute rich dataset is conducive to habitat modeling. The dataset is suitable for development of habitat capability models for various fish, shellfish and invertebrate species. It has been used to predict habitat use by green crab and pacific herring and it was used for sea cumber management applications. The landscape scale of dataset also makes it a useful tool for extrapolation of site data over broader spatial ranges. The ShoreZone data was used for management of marine debris. Various applications of the ShoreZone data have been developed for oil spill response.

ShoreZone has a public outreach component. NMFS maintains the ShoreZone data online and makes it accessible to the public at no cost. NMFS wants this data to be both physically and intellectually available to the public. Task orders may be issued to provide support for making the data physically and intellectually available to the public.

ShoreZone products requested may include the development of habitat capability/suitability models and extrapolation of the data base for specific purposes. Task orders may include: development of oil spill response tools; requests for training, webinairs, or presentations; development of reference manuals; development of training materials; development of ShoreZone publications, brochures, posters, or other informational materials; providing mounted ShoreZone photos; providing additional written reports and special analyses; copies of datasets; technical support for the full ShoreZone dataset maintained by NMFS; and developing potentially new applications of the ShoreZone dataset.

In some areas of the state, along the Arctic coast, ShoreZone mapping has been done from existing imagery. The contractor researched the available imagery and collected it from the source. Existing imagery may need to be used for other parts of Alaska as well for areas that are too remote or for areas where a permit cannot be acquired for aerial surveys (potentially Saint George and Saint Paul Islands). Future task orders may also include gathering, analyzing, and mapping ShoreZone habitats from existing imagery.

R — Waiting Room-Delivered Video to Enhance Antiretroviral Therapy Readiness, Adherence, and Retention in Care for HIV-Positive Minority Persons SNR56653 041913 Sherrie N. Randall, Contract Specialist, Phone 7704882866, Fax 7704882868, Email iom2@cdc.gov – Teri M Routh-Murphy, Contracting Officer, Phone 770-488-2713, Fax 770-488-2778, Email tnr3@cdc.gov This is a sources sought announcement to determine the availability of potential vendors (including, but not limited to, GSA vendors under the Advertising and Integrated Marketing Solutions SIN 541-5 “Integrated Marketing Services”, small business (e.g. 8 (a), veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantage business, and women-owned small business) that can provide support to the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) to develop a waiting room-delivered video to enhance antiretroviral therapy (ART) readiness and adherence and retention in care for HIV-positive minority persons.

Background:
Research findings from the HIV Prevention Trials Network HPTN052 study published in 2011 concluded that HIV-positive men and women could reduce their risk of transmitting the virus to their sexual partners by 96% when taking oral antiretroviral therapy (ART). The ability of patients to initiate and adhere to a rigorous and complex ART treatment regime is challenging. There are many reasons for failing to initiate treatment or adhering to a precise and consistent medication schedule that is needed for treatment to be successful. Factors shown to influence treatment readiness and decrease adherence include a patient’s comprehension of their HIV infection and treatment recommendations, health beliefs associated with the benefits of therapy, fears or ambivalence about starting treatment, dosing/regime barriers psychiatric/co-morbidity factors, and lack of social or provider support.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Compendium of HIV Prevention Interventions with Evidence of Effectiveness has identified 8 intervention programs that have demonstrated varying levels of efficacy for improving ART-related outcomes among HIV-positive persons. These programs included six educational/behavioral interventions to improve ART adherence, and two Directly Administered Antiretroviral Therapy (DAART) interventions. All of these interventions are delivered in individual- or small group-level formats and require considerable resources to implement and substantial time commitments from clients. As a result, there is a significant need for treatment readiness/adherence interventions that can be brought to scale quickly, provide maximum coverage, and be sustained at relatively little cost. The development of a video-based structural intervention through this contract directly supports CDC’s High-Impact HIV Prevention framework.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is poised to bring millions of uninsured people – including many HIV-infected minority persons – into the health care system when it is implemented in 2014. Clinical settings may be increasingly more dependent on adopting simple, low-cost, low-intensity waiting room delivered interventions, which can be administered with minimal staff time as part of routine clinical services, to supplement more intensive but effective interventions that require additional patient or staff time to implement. Stand-alone video-based interventions have been found to be efficacious, low-cost, and require limited staff time or training. The stand-alone video-based approach focusing on encouragement of ART among treatment-naï ve patients and ART adherence among HIV-positive patients in treatment may prove to be an important prevention tool in achieving goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, such as improving health outcomes for persons living with HIV/AIDS and reducing HIV-related disparities and health inequities.

This video also could be a key product to assist CDC’s prevention efforts with HIV-positives. In addition, this video will have broad applicability beyond CDC’s DHAP and should be feasible, practical, and cost-effective to extend to virtually all medical care settings across the U.S. that provide HIV medical care to HIV-positive persons, including Health Resources and Services Administration-funded grantees, Veterans Administration-funded clinical care sites, and all private HIV treatment and care clinics.

Purpose and Objectives:

The purpose of this contract is to develop, beta-test, and refine a brief, video-delivered, waiting room intervention that promotes early initiation of ART among treatment-naïve HIV-positive patients, adherence to ART and retention in care among HIV-positive patients currently on therapy, sexual risk reduction tailored to HIV-positive persons, and patient-initiated discussion of these topics with their providers.

Specific objectives of the contract include the following:

1. Develop a draft theory-based, brief, video-delivered waiting room intervention that promotes early initiation of ART among treatment-naïve clients, adherence to ART and retention in care among HIV-positive patients currently on therapy, and sexual risk reduction tailored to HIV-positive minority persons.
2. Develop “movie style” posters to enhance viewership and a User’s Guide to improve the integration of the video into HIV/AIDS treatment facilities.
3. Conduct a beta-test of the draft video intervention in up to four HIV/AIDS treatment facilities meeting specific programmatic criteria.
4. Document the feasibility and use of this intervention during routine clinical care.
5. Collect observational data and supplemental patient-level medical record data from participating treatment facilities as part of the beta-test of the draft video intervention.
6. Refine the draft video intervention based on analysis of the patients’ reactions.
7. Produce interim and final progress reports.
8. Create and deliver interim data sets and final data sets.

The Vendor shall demonstrate capability with the following requirements:

1. Demonstrate evidence of prior collaboration with governmental or nongovernmental organizations including state and local health departments and other groups that provide HIV prevention and/or treatment services for HIV-positive African Americans and Hispanic/Latinos, including Men Having Sex With Men (MSM).
2. Demonstrate ability to design and produce a video-waiting room intervention for HIV/AIDS treatment facilities.
3. Demonstrate the ability to conduct beta-testing for a video-waiting room intervention.
4. Demonstrate the capacity to design, collect and manage electronic datasets from multiple facilities and the ability to ensure data safety.
5. Demonstrate evidence of ability to create and transfer interim and final data sets to customers.

Capability Statement:

Vendors who believe they have the ability to satisfy all of the above stated objectives are encouraged to submit a capability statement. The capability statements will be evaluated based on the information provided in relation to the objectives and requirements above and the current in-house capacity to perform the work including: (a) knowledge of staff availability, experience, and training; (b) prior completed projects of a similar nature; and (c) examples of prior completed contracts, dollar value of the contracts, references, and other related information.
