- Description
- Under authority granted in FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to solicit an impartial analysis of the collaborative effort that EPA conducted during the rulemaking process for Clean Air Nonroad Diesel Rule in order to identify the factors and principles that led to a successful outcome and design a regulatory collaborative process training course from the Council for Excellence in Government on a SOLE SOURCE BASIS. The contractor shall analyze the process involved to determine what factors and principles contribute to a successful collaborative process. This analysis shall include interviewing a limited number of key participants in the collaborative process for this rule and reviewing documents and articles relevant to it. In addition, a training course shall be developed for how to conduct a collaborative process and a pilot class shall be conducted to ensure that the training materials developed have real-world functional utility. The Council for Excellence in Government (CEG) is the only known source that has the combination of experience, reputation, and skills determined necessary to perform this complete effort. CEG has a unique depth of experience in public policy and governmental administration that is directly relevant to regulatory development. CEG has testified before Congress numerious times concerning ways to improve government performance. CEG also conducts several programs to educate and train government administrators and managers. CEG's training programs and analysis work involve and are oriented to achieve real world application by people that are working in the government. It is critical that the results of this analysis and training course have real world application and that the contractor demonstrate a high level of experience in relevant ?on point' projects involving the real world activities of government officials and managers. CEG has a reputation for being non-partisan. It is critical to the success and credibility of this effort that the contractor provide an impartial analysis that will not be considered biased by the contractor's reputation of political partisanship. CEG offers personnel skilled in performing research and analysis of government practices and processes as well as well-respected training programs. Market Research identified no organization other than CEG that had this unique combination of experience, reputation, and skills necessary to successfully perform the complete effort. This procurement will be pursued using FAR Part 15, Negotiated Acquisition Procedures. Interested firms may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Sources wishing to be considered must submit documentation to the office identified above. Documentation must be submitted within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice. Submit your request in writing to Matthew J. Growney at the above address or by fax 513-487-2107. Telephone request will not be honored.
