- Description
- The New Orleans District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (MVN) is hosting a Debris Industry Forum on August 29, 2006. Purpose: The purpose of this Debris Forum is to discuss lessons learned, solicit feedback from industry on proposed changes to the Advanced Contracting Initiative (ACI) Debris Contracts, and demonstrate new technology to improve our response to future dis asters. The forum will give interested vendors an opportunity to improve the acquisition process, and provide up-to-date information on the upcoming solicitation.

The exact time and specific details will be at the following web site: http://www.mvn.usace.army.mil/ebs/debris/index.asp. Background: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is authorized to respond to disasters under public law 93-288, Robert T. Stafford Act. The National Response Plan (NRP) identifies lead and supporting agencies, roles and responsibilities for res ponding to incidents of National Significance. The NRP identifies joint leadership roles between the Department of Defense (DoD) and FEMA for executing the Emergency Support Function (ESF) #3, Public Works and Engineering. FEMA issues mission assignments to DoD who in-turn delegates ESF #3 mission execution to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Existing Contracts: In order to execute ESF #3, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers implemented the Advance Contract Initiative (ACI). There are ACI contracts for i ce, water, power, debris, and roofing. MVN is the lead District for the existing ACI Debris contracts. Presently, there are ten (10) ACI contracts. Upcoming Re-Competition: The existing contracts are entering their final contract year. MVN will issue a solicitation for new ACI contracts in the near future.
