- Description
- Comments are requested on the DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS) for an OMB Circular A-76 Study of Civil Engineering Technician services (CET) in the following 15 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia. Currently, the NRCS in-house workforces of 127 employees within these states are performing these services. Civil Engineering Technician services includes providing services to private landowners throughout the states listed above to include, but not be limited to, field investigations and topographic surveys, inventories of soils, livestock, water resources, collection of data for planning, design and construction of soil and water conservation practices and watershed projects. These services utilize state-of-the-art survey equipment and computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), and include conducting soils investigations, performing designs of conservation practices and watershed projects, providing construction quality assurance and inspection during the construction of these conservation practices and watershed projects; as well as training of other staff and partner agency staff in providing these services to landowners. In addition, these services include explaining applicable USDA, NRCS programs to landowners and other land users and working cooperatively with local Conservation District staff and other partner agencies. A determination has been made that the studied services are subject to the Brooks Act, and the procedure for procurement of Architect-Engineer Services will be used. NRCS has requested a procedural deviation from OMB to conduct Architect-Engineer procurement procedures with the OMB Circular A-76 public-private competition process and still awaits final approval.
