- Description
- Background: The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has a requirement to establish an Earned Value Management (EVM) process for both developmental and steady-state projects. Statement of Need: This notice is issued by the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), an organization of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), as a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit responses from interested parties. The OCIO is seeking sources able to establish an EVM program that will enable the OCIO and Project Managers (PMs) to assess the cost and performance of projects and track project deficiencies. Additionally, the Offeror will provide guidance and assistance to the Project Managers in the use of EVM and will monitor and track EVM corrective actions. This notice, which is for information and planning purposes only, allows industry the opportunity to provide feedback on their ideas for the provision of services noted above. This document will also verify reasonableness and feasibility of future program requirements and promote competition. DOT intends to establish and implement EVM as soon as feasible and is looking for a single Offeror that can provide solutions and support for the issues listed below. This RFI is not to be construed as a commitment by DOT, nor will DOT pay for the information submitted in response. Respondents will not be notified of the results of any government assessments. No awards will be issued as a result of this RFI. However, the information received through this RFI will be utilized to assist in formulating future requirements and an implementation strategy for Earned Value Management within the OCIO of the DOT. A part of that strategy will include other competitive procurements, such as obtaining the actual EVM solution. Issues to be Addressed: The Offeror must address the following items: Establish an Earned Value Management (EVM) Program within DOT The Offeror must be able to provide detailed information regarding its capabilities in being able to establish an effective program of Earned Value Management (EVM) for both developmental and steady-state projects. The EVM Program must be structured to allow the OCIO and Project Managers (PMs) to assess cost and performance of projects. The Offeror must be able to provide guidance to and work with the PMs in the use of EVM. The Offeror will monitor and track corrective actions. The EVM program must be consistent with the DOT?s strategic plan and OMB directives. Define the Required Tools The Offeror must provide detailed information regarding its capabilities to identify the applicable EVM tools that will be required in order to achieve the desired EVM results. Training of DOT Personnel on the Use of EVM The Offeror must provide detailed information regarding its capabilities to provide general oversight and training of staff on the use and purpose of EVM to ensure its proper interpretation and use within the DOT. Price and Timeline Information The Offeror must provide a rough order of magnitude price for each of the items listed above and provide pricing assumptions along with a proposed time frame for the accomplishment of those items. Responses must also include the following: name and address of firm, size of business using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code; average annual revenue for the past three (3) years and number of employees; ownership; whether large, small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, Veteran, Service Disabled Veteran, and/or Woman Owned; whether the Offeror is on GSA Schedule; number of years in business; list of customers covering the past three years. (Highlight relevant work performed). In summary, the OCIO within the DOT requires the establishment of an Earned Value Management Program that will be complementary to and in support of OMB directives. This RFI is being used to obtain information for planning purposes only and DOT does not presently intend to award a contract at this time. As stipulated in FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. DOT does not intend to pay for information furnished in response hereto. DOT reserves the right to consider a small business or 8(a) set-aside based on responses hereto. Sources interested in this requirement should send all relevant commercial literature (e.g., description of the services and products offered, specifications, price lists, etc.) and any other necessary information that demonstrates the above requirements can be met. Information should be submitted by October 14, 2005 via electronic mail to sherrill.king@dot.gov and rhonda.robinson@dot.gov. PLEASE REPLY AND CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THIS MAIL MESSAGE. Sincerely, Sherrill S. King Contracting Officer
